Darren's eyes got big. " that explains a lot." he said remembering back to when Lili made him hide in the tree it was also the first time he had seen cloudya since he had been gone.

Raelyn came back with the tea.
she handed the cups to the men and then sat down next to Gold Dusk.

"We were very worried about Cloudya for a while after you left..." Gold Dusk said sipping his cup of tea. "She was very sick for several weeks, and Altadon wouldn't let anyone near her."

Gold Dusk watched Darren closely. "Why did you leave her?" He asked curious.

"Did you give her the chance to explain before you went off to find said Dragon, and if you have found it ... where is it ... I don't think I would mind meeting it." Gold Dusk asked finishing off the last of his tea.

Darren sighed. " no i just wanted to find the dragon so i could have Cloudya..but now it seems that i cannot have her. my will to love is Lili's" he paused." my dragon..but my heart is Cloudya's." he said trying not to show how upset he was.

"Have you tryed going to talk to Cloudya ... She would know more about this situation then anyone ... " Gold Dusk looked up as a blood curtaling scream split the peaceful night air.

"I don't know ..." Gold Dusk said retreveing the sword Altadon had given him. "But I'm about to find out." He had been practing and was skilled enough to protect himself if he were to get attacked. He stepped off the porch and headed toward the medow.

"Gold Dusk i'm coming with you." Meriana said with her sword drawn as well.
Darren was not far behind Meriana.

Altadon (in dragon form) circled above a bloody battle ground where Cloudya faught with 3 tradders.

Gold Dusk stopped at the edge of the trees. "Stop! if they see you they will come after you. Let her take care of them." He hissed to the two people behind him.

when Meriana saw the battle that raged she started to run to help cloudya.
Darren ran and tackled Meriana to the ground. " no..as much as i would love to whip those guys out of here all we can do is let her handle it." he wispered into her ear.
the two laid there, if they were to get up and run back they would be seen.

Cloudya stumbled, but caught herself in time to dodge a blow that could have done some serious damage.

Altadon dove and scooped up one of the men carying him into the sky, then dropping him to his death.

The man dropped not ten feet away from Meriana and Darren.
Meriana yelped a little.
Darren shushed her quickly.
Meriana kept quiet.
this was quite awkward. for the both of them. they were both laying on their stomach's and darren was laying on top of Meriana.
Meriana thought about what might be going threw Gold Dusk's head right now.

Gold Dusk was grateful that Darren had gone after Meriana. He haddn't even seen her run out into the Medow.

Cloudya finished off the last two men and Altadon landed. Cloudya dropped the sword she had been useing and walked over to Altadon. She inspected the gash on his front leg. "It's not bad, it should heal in a couple of days.

Lili sencing that Darren might be in trouble was soon at the medow as well. She landed facing the battlefield her back to Gold Dusk. "Bonded... it is safe to get up now." She said softly.
