Chapter One

Dart hid himself behind a barrel of salted meats and took a few moments to catch his breath. Getting past the guards was much easier than he thought it was going to be. Sneaking inside was much better than having to fight his way. It was a true stroke of luck that this wagon full of goods had been coming through.

The covered wagon wobbled side to side as he felt the crossing over the bridge. Peeking out through a side flap he could see that the bridge was decorated with skulls of the beheaded. Faces on spears gaped at him without eyes. Black birds were picking at the fresh ones, making all kinds of noise. He made a face and quickly closed the flap when one squawked loudly at him.

He had to find Shara and get him the hell out of here. Looking around, he made sure that he had enough supplies just in case something held him up. Digging through a few bags, he found some healing herbs and a few bottles of healing draughts. He stuffed his pockets and vest with what he could carry. He had a feeling that these would really come in handy later.

Suddenly the wagon came to a stop and he got ready. He ever so carefully crawled forward and peeked out through the leather flap. A guy was talking with someone and then he heard footsteps walking away. He ducked back slightly when the driver of the wagon walked by. He was dressed like a merchant from some kind of exotic village.

The merchant had his back turned to him, so Dart very quickly got out of the wagon and just as he was about to duck behind a pillar, the merchant turned and gasped with fright. But, before the merchant could scream, Dart had him up against the wall with his hand over his mouth.

"I am not going to hurt you," he said, blue eyes burning with a silent warning. "But, make a sound and I'll use your head as a mace."

The merchant quickly nodded his head and Dart slowly released him.

"What are you doing here?" The merchant hissed at him, rubbing his throat. "If they catch you, they will kill you. This is a horrible place. I wouldn't be here if I had a choice, but nobody else from my village will come here. The money's not bad either."

Dart nodded. "I am here to rescue my friend. Our village was attacked and he was brought here."

The merchant cocked his head to the side. "What in the world is going on? Is there going to be another war?"

Dart shrugged his broad shoulders and looked around the room. "I don't know. They even have a dragon."

"A dragon?" The merchant squeaked, eyes larger than silver coins. "A real dragon? Are you sure? I've heard rumors, but I only thought they were just that, rumors."

"I was on my way back to my village when it attacked me and some knights from Sandora," Dart said, going to look to see if someone was coming. "It was huge and green as poison. I thought I was going to die, but someone saved me."

The merchant's bearded face was white as parchment. The poor guy looked as though he was about to faint from fear.

"I won't say anything about you being here," he said, beginning to unload his wagon. "Find your friend and get the hell out of here."

Dart looked back at the guy. "If I was you, I'd work for money elsewhere, friend."

The merchant nodded. "After today, I am."

Dart smiled. "Thank you."

The merchant waved him off and went about his business.

OOOOOOO

"Move your ass!" A Hellena prison guard snarled, hitting the Basil knight in the back with the blunt end of his spear. "I don't have all goddamn day, you bastard."

Lavitz Slambert, Captain of the First Knighthood of Basil, couldn't have felt more humiliated in his life. The battle had been going so well until he had turned his back for only a moment. A moment the enemy had taken full advantage of and knocked him flat on his face.

He stumbled forward a step and growled under his breath. If his hands hadn't been in chains, he'd teach this brute a lesson or three. He was already bound. There was no need to be so rude or forceful. It wasn't like he was just about to bust free and kick some barbarian ass.

"If you strike me with that spear again," the blond knight warned, looking back at the dirty looking guard. "I will not be held responsible for my actions."

The guard just looked at him. The guy didn't know whether to suddenly cower or strike him just for the sheer hell of it.

"What the fuck did you just say?" The guard suddenly asked, raising his spear again. "Did you just talk back to me, pretty boy? I'll kick your sorry ass."

He moved to strike and Lavitz caught him off guard. It was a swift and sure move. He used his chains to knock the spear aside and the guard fell forward. Lavitz was now behind the guard and had his chains up and under his chin, choking the life out of him.

"I told you," Lavitz hissed into the struggling guard's ear. "Your friends killed my two friends back there and you just laughed and laughed about it. Well, you'll just have to excuse my rudeness now, but I don't have time."

He swiftly broke the guy's neck. A sickening crunch echoed and the guard slumped under the chains.

Lavitz let the body crumple to the floor and checked it for the key he needed to release him from the chains which bound him. It took him several moments, but he finally found it. His chains fell off and he rubbed his wrists, looking around.

He quickly picked the body up by the arms and dragged it over to a ledge and rolled it over, tossing the chains he had been bound by after it. The last thing he wanted was for an alarm to be initiated and these villains looking for him. Now he had a real chance of making it out of here alive and back to his beloved king with the information he now possessed.

Bowing his head, he said a quick prayer for his fellow comrades and picked up the spear. He was now free of his chains and had a lethal weapon.

"Now, where is the exit?"

OOOOOOO

A guard fell at Dart's feet and two more were quickly advancing towards him. He hadn't counted on there being three. If even one of them was to sound the alarm, he would be done for. There would be no way he'd be able to find Shara and get him out of here. If only he had been more patient. He should have waited for the guard to pass instead of just taking him head on.

"Come on, cowards," Dart said, taking a step back, positioning his blade for an offensive strike, hoping to piss them off enough that they'd make stupid mistakes. "Who wants to be used as paint?"

"You bastard!" The guard on the left yelled and ran at him, swinging his spear around in a speeding circle.

Dart ducked down and rolled right, bringing up his sword. It cut right through the stunned guard's stomach. The spear went flying through the air and struck the far wall with a loud clang. The guard's eyes were wide as saucers as his innards fell at his feet.

"You bastard…"

He fell over with a thud and twitched in shock before dying.

Dart got ready for the next one, but the guard was just standing there looking at him with a confused look on his face. Then the blond noticed a red bloom forming in the center of the guard's chest before the guard fell forward onto his face dead.

"Are you okay?" A tall blond in shining armor asked, wiping the end of his spear off on the dead guard's shirt.

Dart slowly lowered his blade. "I am fine," he said with caution. "Thank you…who are you?"

"I am the Captain of the First Knighthood of Basil," the blond said, walking by the corpse at his feet. "Lavitz Slambert…and you are…?"

Dart suddenly recognized the emblem on the blonde's armor. This was indeed a Knight of Basil standing before him. From what he had heard about them, they were the good guys. Plus, this guy had just saved his life.

"Dart," he answered, holding out his hand in friendship. "Dart Feld."

Lavitz took his offered hand and gave it a firm squeeze and shake. "Why are you here, Dart Feld?"

"My village, Seles, was attacked," Dart told him, releasing his gloved hand. "It was burned to the ground and my best friend was brought here. I am here to save him."

"Then we must find him quickly," Lavitz said.

"You would help me?" Dart asked. "A complete stranger?"

Lavitz nodded. "It is a knight's duty to help those in need. Plus, we are stronger together. More of a chance to get out of here. I must get back to my king and warn him about what is taking place here."

Dart smiled. Luck truly was with him. He just hope and prayed the coin wouldn't turn over.

"Thank you, Sir Slambert," he said.

Lavitz shook his head. "Just Lavitz."

Dart's smile widened. "Just Dart then."

I'm coming, Shara. Just hold on. I'll find you.

OOOOOOO

Shara was floating under sweet scented water. It was warm and comforting. Like the womb.

It was dark and in that sweet darkness, he could hear a heart beating. It was strong and steady as a drum.

It pounded in his ears. He took a breath and bubbles ticked him. Each one made a musical sound when they popped.

Dart?

The heartbeat got louder and louder. It was thunderous now.

Dart!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?

He opened his eyes, finding the moon floating below him. It was huge and shining bluer than a sapphire in the depths.

The heartbeat was coming from the moon. It was coming from inside the moon.

What?

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

I am Shara. I am from Seles. I have been taken prisoner. Where is Dart?

PRISONER? YOU ARE NO PRISONER.

Yes. I am. I am alone and scared.

The moon suddenly began to glow redder than freshly spilled blood. The water around him was suddenly becoming really, really hot. Bubbles popped all around him with angry, startling notes of rage.

SET US FREE.

Who are you?

I ASKED YOU FIRST! The voice screamed with fire.

Beloved, wake up!

Shara's eyes snapped open and he bolted up off the bed, looking left and right with wide, dazzled eyes. The moon spider was looking at him, chirping.

Beloved. Someone is outside the door. I heard loud noises.

Shara pulled the blanket around himself even tighter. What if the guards were going to come in and do something to him? He would fight, but there was no way he'd be able to fend them off. He was too tired and weak from hunger.

Dart…

Snowdrop chirped. Beloved. I can hear keys.

Something hard hit the door and Shara nearly jumped out of his skin. He yelped and Snowdrop jumped up into the air, landing on the floor in front of him.

"No," Shara whispered. "Hide. If someone comes in and tries to hurt me, you can sneak out and bite them."

Snowdrop chirped and scuttled under the bed.

Shara suddenly heard keys jangling just outside the door.

"Shara!"

That voice…

"Hurry. We don't have much time," a second voice spoke.

The door flew opened and someone was standing in the open doorway.

"Shara…"

The blanket fell from his slender shoulder's and his knees grew incredibly weak.

"…Dart…"

He didn't believe it. He couldn't believe it. He was still asleep. He had to be.

"Shara?"

He took a step forward and was suddenly in Dart's embrace. The tall blond picked him up off his feet and squeezed him tight.

"Thank the gods you're all right," Dart laughed, squeezing him even tighter. "I was so scared."

Shara trembled, hugging him back. "You came…"

"Of course I did," Dart said, setting him down. "When have I never kept a promise?"

Shara smiled up at him. He had grown even more handsome and his hair was as long and spiky as ever. He was even taller now, too.

He reached up and gently touched Dart's tan cheek.

"I don't mean to be rude," a voice said from behind them. "But, we need to get out of here now."

Dart nodded and took Shara's hand. "Lavitz is right. We have to get out of here."

"Snowdrop," Shara called, turning to the bed. "Are you coming with me?"

The moon spider came out from under the bed and chirped up at him. He bent down and picked the spider up, holding him lovingly.

"Only you," Dart said.

Shara turned and smiled up at him.

"Come on," Lavitz said. "We're not going to have much time."

The four of them left the cell.

To be continued…
