Chapter Nineteen
Falcon woke in a cold sweat. Crystal was sitting up beside him with a look of concern on her face. "It has been awhile since night terrors woke you, beloved."
Glancing out the window Falcon noticed it was bright outside. The druid looked at his wife confused for a moment. "Did you let me sleep in?"
"Aye, it's Rest Day," she said. "Did you forget?"
Falcon nodded as he sat up running a hand through his hair. Every seventh day for reasons unknown to them the Demons didn't send them to the mines. It didn't make sense but they did not complain.
"What haunts your dreams?" Crystal asked as she ran a hand down his bearded chin.
"Kinro," Falcon said closing his eyes.
"It has been years since you spoke his name …"
"I reopened the wound last night speaking to Rain about it," Falcon said. The druid stretched and stood. "I'm going to need some meditation time today, lock away some demons in the soul so I can focus on the Clan."
"I still don't think locking away the pain is the answer, but whatever you need to do, beloved." Crystal kissed him and walked outside.
Falcon quickly got dressed and followed her out. Shar and Mudon were near the forge, Crystal had taken a seat at the table near Red; both women were working on stitching a quilt together. Glancing around the encampment he couldn't spot any other members.
"Where is everyone else?" he asked sitting down next to his wife and taking a bite of a roll resting nearby, assuming it was his breakfast.
"Star and Rarvo are working in the smoke house," Crystal said. "The rest of them are down at the stream washing the laundry."
"Rain too?" he asked.
"Aye, he's with Sly." His wife's eyes looked down for a moment as she pricked herself with a needle.
Falcon brought the bleeding finger to his lips and kissed it, at the same moment healing the fingertip. "There you go, all better." Stuffing the last of the roll in his mouth he headed out of the encampment and down to the river.
They weren't the only Clan at the river today; it was a flurry of activity. Falcon quickly spotted the four Earthhunters and went to join them. Gola and Sid were on the riverbank using a washboard to scrub the clothes. They would then hand them off to Sly and Rain who were standing in the stream to rinse them, wring them out and toss them into a basket to be hung up in camp. As he approached Falcon saw Rain's teeth chattering.
Announcing himself he took off his clothes and waded into the river. "Let me take Rain's spot, before his teeth rattle out." He motioned to the riverbank but Rain stood there and glanced at Sly. "Rain, head on out I have it." Falcon said. The Sin'dorei held up his right arm, Falcon was surprised to see a shackle attached to it. The other end was around Sly's wrist. The druid sighed. "Is that really necessary?"
"Hey you gave me hell last night for losing him," Sly said as he took a chain off from around his neck and used the key dangling from it on the shackle around his wrist. Falcon held out his hand and the rogue dropped the key into it. He used it on the remaining shackle and shooed Rain out of the water.
Keeping one eye on the Sin'dorei drying off, he took a soapy shirt from Gola and started rising it out. After tossing the clean shirt into the basket nearby he reached over and placed a hand on Sly's chilled arm. Channeling his powers into the rogue he warmed him up.
"Mm … I'd prefer to do that the old fashion way," Sly said with a grin.
Falcon raised an eyebrow as he reached for another washed garment. "And what way is that?"
He suddenly found his legs kicked out from underneath him and the rogue was on top of him. The hardness against his abdomen spoke clearly of Sly's intention. Falcon struggled against the hold of the other.
"Hey you two, not now … or you're finishing on your own," Sid called out.
"You owe me," Sly whispered in his ear.
"How do you see that?" Falcon said as his form shimmered into that of the mighty grizzly and broke the rogue's hold.
"Bah, I told you I'm not into that feral thing." Sly said stepping back. Snagging soapy leggings tossed his way. "And you owe me because you made me sleep with your boy toy there with a promise not to do anything."
Falcon returned to his elf form. "It was appreciated, didn't know there would be an I.O.U. attached to it." The druid glanced over at Rain who was sitting barefoot and shirtless on the riverbank, shivering. Wading over to him Falcon motioned him to come to the river's edge. Once he was there the druid warmed him up from the inside out. "I'll have to show you how to do that yourself," he said.
A shadow from above was the only warning they got before a demon landed beside the clan. Rain took a step back from the beast as he knelt and it moved between them. "I hear you have a fascination with the dead woman, slut."
Rain looked down and shook his head.
"It was his first friend lost, Master, he meant nothing wrong." Falcon said as he too knelt down in the icy water.
"I heard you even went to say goodnight to her, did you go and tell her good morning too?" The demon hissed.
Rain shook his head and remained quiet.
"Then perhaps we should remedy that!" Before anyone could move the demon had Rain in his grasp and was flying up to the Wall of Motivation.
"No!" Falcon shouted. His body suddenly became numb and his legs refused to stand. A strong arm wrapped around him from behind, in the hand was a dagger. Sly had poisoned him.
"Sorry … can't have you following them," the rogue said apologetically.
Falcon swore and watched as the demon neared the wall. "Please, no," he whispered. The demon hovered over the rock piercing Mira and dropped Rain on it. He pointed at the corpse and crawling over to it the Sin'dorei kissed the top of her head. The demon shouted and Rain cowered, as the demon shouted again Rain shifted his hold slightly and brushed his lips against the cold lips of the body.
Behind him Sly gagged. Rain was again cowering at the feet of the demon, trying to keep his balance on the small ledge. Suddenly the demon flew off with Rain in its grip; it hovered over the northern end of the river, the Horde gathered there called out.
The demon partially let go of the Sin'dorei holding one of his arms, Rain wrapped his second hand around the demon's as he shook his head. The demon ordered him to let go. There was a pause before Rain did and dangled freely in the grasp of the winged creature. There was another command and Falcon's heart broke as a cry escape Rain's lips. With his free hand he worked on the clasp of his leggings, kicking them off and letting them fall down into the river below.
The shouts from the Elfkillers got louder. "Drop him, drop him, drop him," they chanted.
Falcon slammed an elbow into Sly's gut stunning him, as he purged the poison from his body. At the same moment transforming into a hawk he soared into the air. The demon released Rain and the elf slowed his descent but he couldn't alter his path and the crowd below him shouted out victorious. Falcon flew over beside the falling elf; there were just too many trolls and orcs below for him to take on his own.
"Forgive me, Adran," he whispered as he gripped the bare shoulders of the other with his talons burying them into the skin for a hold. The Sin'dorei screamed as blood ran down his chest and back, his hands held onto Falcon as he flew them both back up stream. There were curses below and Rain let out another yell as an arrow embedded into his leg.
Falcon dodged another arrow at the same time ripped at the muscles of the other. Rain screamed again. "Drop him, Falcon … we'll protect him!" Captain Dylan shouted from below as the Alliance clans converged on the shore line.
With little choice in the matter as an arrow caught his wing Falcon released Rain to fall into the river below as he followed close behind transforming back into an elf before he hit the water.
The cold water bit into his skin before Falcon could kick his legs to surface he was grabbed by what seemed like a half-dozen hands and guided to the bank. As he was led out of the stream he caught sight of Rain laying down nearby, a couple of humans and Sid were busy healing his wounds.
"Casters to the back, plate to the front!"
Falcon glanced over at the Captain as he shouted. The Alliance clans quickly formed ranks and the Night Elf glanced down river at the approaching Horde. For the most part it looked to be just Elfkillers which meant the Horde were out numbered three to one. Falcon healed the wound on his arm as he moved toward the front. There was a roar and the large demon Overlord Viser landed between the feuding factions.
"Someone best explain to me why there has been a war declared on the day we give you fleshlings to rest?" The demon growled.
"One of your subordinate promised us the pale elf," Demoncraft hissed.
"Rain isn't his to give," Falcon said calmly.
The Sin'dorei pushed his healers to the side and called out to Overlord Viser in his birth tongue. The fiend looked over at the smaller demon still hovering nearby. "You told him if he gave them a show you would return him to his clan."
The demon shrugged. "My hand slipped."
Overlord Viser blasted the other demon with a mighty fireball, it let out a horrible scream as it fell into the river. The current washed it down stream. "Even demons have honor," he hissed. Turning to face Demoncraft he said, "Your clan was deceived return to your side of the Cavern." Then he turned to face the Alliance. "Lower your weapons and return to your duties, I'll only give you this one warning."
Swords were quickly sheathed as the clans dispersed. Falcon waited until the Elfkillers were well on their way before turning his attention to Rain. Someone had wrapped a blanket around his waist offering him some covering. Sid was still working on healing the damage Falcon had done to his shoulders.
Sly walked over with a sheepish grin. "Sorry about that …"
Falcon didn't listen to the rest as he transformed into a panther and leapt at the elf. His claws raked down the rogue's arm before he moved out of range. "You need a lesson on who is leading this Clan," Falcon growled.
Sly quickly had two daggers in his hands. "I know who is leading, the reason I'm trying so damn hard to keep you alive." The rogue circled around slowly, Falcon did the same never taking his eyes off him.
"If you ever draw a dagger on me again you better finish the job," Falcon growled, "or I will."
The muscles in his feline legs rippled as he made ready to attack. Suddenly he was tackled from the side and pale arms wrapped around his furry neck. "No … no …" Rain pleaded.
Falcon snapped, his fangs grazing the recently mended shoulder of Rain. "Damn it, will you people stop getting in my way."
The Sin'dorei didn't let go, just buried his face in to his dark fur. "No … no …"
The daggers in Sly's hands vanished. "We can finish this later," he said walking away. Falcon could see blood dripping down the rogue's fingers from the graze he had given him.
With a roar he transformed back to his elf form. "I just want to hit something!"
"Hit me," Rain whispered.
The words were like cold water on a blazing iron, it shattered Falcon's rage. He looked down in disbelief at the sad emerald eyes gazing back up. The druid's hands shook as he brushed Rain's pale cheek. "Sid go see to Sly's arm," he said. "The rest of you finish up the laundry and get it back up near the fire to dry."
"And you beloved?" Crystal asked.
Falcon bent down and picked Rain up, the slight elf now a familiar weight in his arms. "I have my hands full," he said walking back to the camp.
