Lili smiled and walked over to the table where Darren had set out a wonderful dinner. She sat and waited for him to sit
as well.

Altadon stood and pulled the chair back allowing Cloudya to sit. "Did you enhoy your walk Bonded?" He asked as he served her.

Cloudya smiled and sat. "I did ... I needed it thank you."

Lili took a little of the cooked meat and a piece of fruit.

Darren smiled and noticed her hesitate. " Lili, it's good...try it." he smiled and took a bite of some cooked meat.

Lili tried the meat as he had asked, and it was good, however, she still prefered her meat raw. She ate the fruit and watched Darren.

_________________

Darren ate, his mind started to drift. he wondered about his friends Meriana and Gold Dusk. he wondered how they were doing. he had been gone for about a year now. he pushed that aside and tried to foucus on Lili. " so..Lili..what's our purpose? do we just stay here and be man and dragon...or...do we have a purpose.." he asked out of the blue..but he truely wondered.

"Once you complete your training you may do as you like." She looked down at her hands, then stood and began clearing the table.

"Of course ... I will always be with you. However what you may not have realised is, you now have the gift of an extended life. Not as long as that of the most fair, yet not nearly as short as that of the mortal you once were." She came back to the table, but instead of sitting in the chair she sat on the floor resting her head against Darren's leg. "What do you wnat to know about the bond we share?" She asked softly.

Darren was still confused. " how strong is it? " he fineally asked after a few minuets

"The bond we share hold us so closely thay when you die ... so will I. You hold my just as I hold yours." Lili said explaining the bond to the best of her ability.

" i think i'm starting to get it." he said. " you know i feel like our purpose is more then to just be. i think were sapoused to acomplish something." he said very thoughtful

After dinner Cloudya and Altadon cleared the table and went to sit on the ledge outside the cave. Cloudya leaned against Altadon enjoying the feel of his strong arms. There were times she felt like a child, safe from the world, and others where she felt like the luckyest girl on the face of the planet with a guy that would forever care for her and love her for everything she was.

Altadon looked down at Cloudya, "Bonded ... what are we going to do about the border? We can't fight them alone anymore... there are too many."

Lili looked up at Darren, "Bonded if you are thinking about the Traders, that is the valley gardian's problem... not ours. Let him worry about it. At least for now ... you need to complete your training first."

Darren sighed. was that what he had been feeling. he wasnt sure.
he ran his fingers through Lili's hair softly and lovingly.
" Lili, how long will my training take?" he said thinking about all the things he had learned. he must be close to being done....
