Chapter Twenty-Four
Falcon awoke to something wet hitting his fur-covered head and back. He let out a roar and shook himself, showering the small area with the filth that had been poured over him. His cell mate let out an unhappy yell. The druid made an apologetic noise, glad the orc was healthy enough to muster a reply. Falcon glanced up to the see the demon that had just relieved himself through the grate walk off. Cursing for falling asleep in the first place Falcon stretched trying to get the blood flowing.
"Faya?" Falcon's heart searched out the warmth of his wife.
"Here beloved," she whispered back. "How are you?"
"Alive," Falcon replied not wanting to dwell on his current situation. "How is the Clan … Rain?"
"The mining went as well as expected being down one member; we filled most of our quota bags. Received a decent slab of meat for our rations, seasoned and roasted it with some vegetables." Falcon's stomach growled at the thought of food. "Rain finished his chores as he was told too … it broke his heart when you weren't with us when we returned."
"Aye, he cried out for me … I may have been a bit harsh and short with my reply."
"Sid … Sid was going to have us shackle him to the post, afraid he might run off and try to find you. I volunteered to have him shackled to me instead, so I have a sad Sin'dorei a few feet to my side. He won't eat, nor speak to me …" His wife sounded very tired.
"Are you eating now … it's hard to judge how much time has passed here."
"Just finishing up," she replied, "please be gentle, he's already trembling like a leaf."
Falcon calmed himself before reaching out to Rain. "Adran," there was no reply. "I'm only going to say this once; you're upsetting Faya … so eat your damn food. You are hurting her."
"Sorry."
"He's eating, beloved, thank you."
Falcon picked up the sounds of someone approaching and broke contact with the pair after sending a final thought of love. The orc across the way also stirred and struggled to his feet, his boots slipped on the sludge and Demoncraft fell. There was a dark laugh from above and Falcon braced himself. Nothing good had come down from above all day.
"Are the two of you still alive down there," Overlord Viser hissed. When neither spoke he growled. "Answer me damn it unless you rather I forget about you."
"Yes, Master." Falcon said. Demoncraft made a similar acknowledgement.
"Good … good …" there was the sound of the grate being moved back and a bucket appeared over the edge. "Here's dinner … make sure you two share." The pail was lowered on a rope until Demoncraft could grab it with his hands. Falcon made no move as the orc quickly cleared it out. A moment later the bucket was pulled back up and the metal bars dropped back into place.
"Enjoy your night, perhaps I'll remember to come get you out of the pit … maybe." The demon let out another laugh and disappeared from sight.
Falcon watched as Demoncraft hungrily tore at the loaf of bread that had been in the bucket, the druid stomach lurched slightly at the thought of what must be on the hands that held the food. "If there is water to spare …" Falcon started.
"Screw you," the orc snarled sitting down.
Expecting as much Falcon settled back down in his corner, he resisted the urge to reach out for comfort from the others. Tomorrow weighed heavily on him, he wondered if he should have said something to Crystal. But what would he had said … he didn't know what it would bring. They could execute Rain tomorrow while Falcon was trapped in this hole, or take him away forever; either which Falcon kept trying to convince himself was better than being in the Cavern.
A short time later the lights above flickered and went out completely. Falcon's eyes adjusted to the dim lightening; he kept a close watch on the orc who had finished his dinner and fallen quiet. It was hard to resist the urge to fall into the dream state an escape no one could deny him. However, it also left him vulnerable for attack so he spent his time silently reciting old poems and songs in his head.
A feeling of being watched put him on alert, a glance across the way showed Demoncraft wasn't the source. The orc had somehow fallen asleep in this forsaken place. Looking up the druid saw nothing but the hairs on the back of his neck stood at end.
"Akire!"
"Please … please no … beloved don't say it …" he begged.
"I'm sorry, I don't know how … he was chained to my side but his shackle is open and empty."
"He's a priest not a rogue, damn it, they'll kill him." Falcon didn't try to hide his fear and anger when he reached out for the Sin'dorei. "Adran, damn it you promised me … go home, quickly and quietly… don't let them see you."
There was a movement in the darkness from above, swearing Falcon transformed into a hawk and flew up. It was hard to do, his feathers were coated in the muck, and he wondered if he would ever get the odor out. Falcon's wings beat against the grate as he struggled to stay aloft. As Rain appeared he transformed into an elf wrapping his fingers around the metal before he fell, dangling above the pit.
"Damn it, Adran …" the rest died in his throat as Rain got closer. The absolute helplessness in the emerald eyes took his breath way.
"Sorry … Akire … I …" Pale finger wrapped around his own through the cage, "thank you, shorel'aran."
"Shorel'aran … that means farewell … you know … what's going to happen tomorrow, Adran?" Falcon's fingers ached as his weight pulled on his flimsy hold.
There was a gentle touch on his cheek, from the hand that slid through the bars. Rain let out a soft gasp and collapsed onto the bars. Before Falcon could call out Sly appeared and wrapped an arm around the now unconscious elf, the rogue must have used a slumber poison on him. Sly's eyes met Falcon's gaze. "I'll take care of him, Akire. Stay alive in there please … for all our sakes." Sly whispered in his head, and then picking Rain up the two of them disappeared from sight.
Falcon released his grip on the bars and fell the few feet back to the ground, sliding and landing in the sludge. There was a dark chuckle from the orc as Falcon stood and limped back to his side of the pit.
"Hope you enjoyed your last few moments with your slut," Demoncraft said.
'Shut the hell up," Falcon snarled calling on the spirit of the grizzly and wrapping himself in the warmth the fur of the beast granted him. "Faya, Sly will be returning shortly with him."
"Praise Elune," Crystal replied, relief clear in her touch.
"Beloved …" Falcon hesitated.
"What is it Akire?" There was veiled concern in her whisper.
"Tonight it the last night we'll have with our heart, please make it special for him. I don't know what tomorrow will bring him but I want his last touch from us to be one of love and pleasure."
"What do you mean? How do you know?"
"The orc here spoke of it and Rain confirmed it … though I do not know exactly what is planned I do know it means the end of Rain's time in the cavern if he's not returned to his prior life then … they may kill him." Falcon sighed.
"I … how can we … when you are in such dire circumstances?" Crystal asked. "He hasn't been wanted touched in that way …"
"You can be very persuasive when you want to be, beloved. Just let me join your thoughts when it's time." Falcon replied.
"I'm not sure Sid will allow him in my company again …"
"Have him relight the fire and post guards outside the door then, damn it … it's the least we can do for him … please ..." Falcon pleaded, frustrated at his lack to aid her.
"I will try, beloved." Crystal whispered before breaking contact.
Demoncraft let out a loud cough; it seemed to rack the orc's whole body.
"Not dying on me over there are you?" Falcon growled out.
"I will not die in this hell hole," the orc snarled, his breath sounding ragged. "I didn't survive Durnholde to die here."
"Then let me help you, damn it, you dying serves neither of us," Falcon transformed back to an elf and moved over to the orc.
Snorting loudly but not protesting Demoncraft was still when Falcon laid a hand on the scarred chest of the other. Closing his eyes Falcon channeled his healing powers into the body of the orc leader. "Your lungs show signs of pneumonia and it's not just from being stuck in this hole, can't your healers mend you?"
"I'm not one to go crying to the priest every time I have a cut …"
"Stupid orc," Falcon growled. This was going to take more time and energy then he wanted to give. The time seemed to crawl by as he healed the orc from the inside out, part of him knew he shouldn't give so much to the orc bent on seeing him dead, but the healer in him could do no less. Finally he let his hand fall, he felt drained, exhausted.
Demoncraft stood and stretched. "I haven't felt this good in a long time elf."
Acknowledging the thanks with a nod, Falcon stood and stumbled back toward his side of the pit. A strong arm wrapped around him from behind. "Where you going, I haven't thanked you properly," the orc growled in his ear.
Falcon froze as his tired mind tried to get a grasp on the situation.
"Not giving you time to work any magic," Demoncraft snarled as Falcon's head exploded in pain and everything went black.
