"We ... we were dancing, just enjoying the evening and they attaacked us." Cloudya leaned against Altadon's uninjured front leg.

Lili watched Darren for a moment. "Go to her... I'll wait." She stepped back into the shadows.

Gold Dusk ran to where Cloudya and Meriana were standing.

Darren nodded, then ran over to everyone else. " is everyone ok?" he asked coming onto the scene.

Meriana took Gold Dusk's hand and put it around her waist she was trembling a bit.

Altadon extended a wing to cover Cloudya protectivly. "Everyone is fine Dragon Ridder." He said.

Cloudya closed her eyes thankful that Altadon had covered her.

Darren sighed knowing why he was covering her. but still he spoke directly to Cloudya.
" may i speak with you? cloudya? alone? please" he pleeded

Meriana looked at Gold Dusk almost worried

Cloudya stiffened hearing his question, but turned and gently pushed Altadon's wing back. "What do you want of me Dragon Ridder?" She asked careful to keep her emotions hidden.

Cloudya hesitated, then followed him. "Very well ... we are alone ... what do you want?"

" my will love my dragon, but my heart still loves you." he said blocking his thoughts out to anyone but Cloudya.

"Your dragon is truely magnificent... What is her name?" Cloudya asked refuseing to look at him.

Altadon watched as Cloudya dropped her head so that she would have to look at Darren. "It's too soon..." He stepped into the shadows and took on is human form.

"I forgave you long ago ... " She turned so that her back was to him once more to hide the silent tears that rolled down her cheeks.

Altadon started to walk towards the place where Cloudya and Darren talked.

" so..tell us about these traders." she pulled Gold Dusk down to the ground almost making him fall on his face.

Darren sighed. " then why do you turn from me?" he asks desprately trying to understand.

"You heard Cloudya at the gathering earlier did you not?" Altadon asked standing up again. He streached his wings in irritation.

Cloudya was silent for a moment. "Your life is not your own, just as mine is not my own."

Lili walked over and knelt down so she was sitting next to Meriana.
