Chapter Thirty-Seven
"Are you sure about this?" Sly asked as he picked up a loose rock from the ground and tossed it away. "It was your idea," Falcon replied, as he took his shirt off and stretched. "I was kind of hoping you would go with Plan B," Sly said with a smirk. "Not in the mood," Falcon replied as he slid off his boots and placed them in a pile with his shirt, leaving on just his leather leggings. He glanced over at Rain who was dressed the same, sitting with his back against the wall of the bunkhouse. "I know better than anyone here that you're capable of what I am about to ask of you," Falcon said. "I've seen that look in your eyes before, in myself. I'm going to give you an outlet for all that rage that you've had to swallow your entire life." Rain raised a slender eyebrow but said nothing. "The rules are simple, don't kill me and I'll endeavor to do the same. Other than that anything goes." "Fight … Falcon?" The embers flickered slightly as a look of confusion crossed Rain's face. "If you thought crying helped the soul," Falcon said. "Wait until you unleash the rage, my heart. This is not a punishment. I want you to fight back, with everything that demon spawn taught you." Rain looked up at him, his eyes studying the face of the druid. Falcon motioned for the Sin'dorei to stand. "Release it, Adran," Falcon whispered. "For too long you've had to swallow your anger, playing the part of the submissive slut. I've seen the fire you are capable of … show me the fury which is Adran." A change came over Rain, as he stood. Fingers uncurled from clenched fists. Shoulder relaxed as did his stance. And when he lifted his gaze to meet Falcon his eyes blazed. The druid could barely follow the attack that followed. One moment Rain was in front of him, the next Falcon was blocking a kick aimed toward his head. Before the impact registered Rain followed through with a second blow. This time it struck true and a fist caught Falcon in the abdomen. As his breath was stolen from him, Rain landed a second kick behind his knee, forcing Falcon to kneel. Recovering quickly from the shock of speed of the attack, Falcon dodged the next kick. Wrapping his arm around the shin of the Sin'dorei he jerked the elf off his feet making him fall to the ground. For the briefest moment Falcon wondered if Rain would be able to continue to hold his own without a weapon in his hand. Then the lithe elf brought his feet up in blinding speed catching the druid under the chin with his heel. As Falcon fell back from the surprised attack, Rain completed his flip back and out of harms way. Rain stayed close to the ground using his smaller stature to his advantage. It was like trying to corner a cat, a very angry cat. Wiping the blood from a split lip, Falcon stepped back. Rain dove at the druid, this time Falcon was ready for the speed and side-stepped the attack bringing his elbow down on the back of the other as he slid past. There was a grunt from the Sin'dorei as the blow knocked him to the ground. Pushing his advantage Falcon grabbed Rain by his ponytail and pressed his knee into the back of the elf. "This was hardly worth the effort," he said pulling slightly up on the ponytail. Not enough to do any permanent damage just enough to make a point. Rain tried to reach back but the angle made it impossible for him to reach Falcon. Or so Falcon thought until one of the hands reached back, grabbed his crotch, and squeezed. With a howl Falcon's focus was broken and it was enough for Rain to squirm free from under him. The druid however had a death grip on the elf's ebony hair. He backhanded Rain hard and was reward by a knee to his still very tender crotch. "Damn it!" Falcon hissed. He twisted the elf away from him and returned the favor with a well placed kick. Rain rolled with the attack and with little choice to let him go or break his neck, Falcon released Rain and let him slide across the ground. He gave the Sin'dorei no chance to regroup, instead charging him before he finished the skid. He grabbed both pale wrists and held them with one hand above Rain's head where he laid, pinning him to the ground. Wrapping his legs around Rain's Falcon was stretched out along side the elf using the weight of his body to hold the Sin'dorei in place. Falcon slid his other hand down the panting body to the waistband of the other. "Time to see if you can take what you dish out," he hissed, the breath of the other brushed his cheek. Rain bucked under him but Falcon's weight alone made the struggle futile. Then unexpectedly the elf head-butted the druid hard, Falcon was sure he wasn't the only one seeing stars but once again it allowed Rain to slip away. His vision double for a moment Falcon backed up to recover. He noticed Rain doing the same. "Oh come on lad, you can do better than that!" Rarvo shouted. Falcon glanced over and noticed Sly had been joined by the dwarf and Star. Out of the corner of his eye he caught the flash of movement but it was enough to prepare him for the next attack. The contest continued with neither getting the upper hand. However, the fact Rain was tiring was obvious to all. The Sin'dorei's left eye was blackened; there was a thin trail of dried blood below his nose, along with various bruises now showing on his fair skin. Falcon was not without his own hurts, his split lip from earlier had swollen and his left shoulder had been wrenched and would hurt like hell tomorrow in the mines. "Time to end this," he thought as Rain found the energy to charge again. But his attacks had slowed and it was easy to dodge. Wrapping an arm around Rain's waist Falcon pulled him against his chest and wrapped the other arm around pinning his arms to his side, in a tight embrace. "I yield, my heart," Falcon whispered. The elf in his arms went limp and Falcon lowered them both to the ground. Holding Rain to him the druid channeled his healing powers into the elf while he felt Rain return the favor to his own battered body. "You heard him, Rarvo," Sly said with a chuckle. "Falcon yielded, pay up!" "Bah he only did that because the pup was bushed," Rarvo retorted as they disappeared back to the front of the camp. Star lingered a moment longer. "You two going to be all right?" she asked. "Yeah, just letting him blow-off some steam," Falcon said smiling up at the young Night Elf. "You head up to the table for dinner, we'll be along shortly." What happened next seemed to transpire in slow motion. As he bent down to make sure Rain's black eye had healed he saw a fast approaching shadow behind Star as she turned to leave. He shouted out a warning but it came too late as Overlord Viser landed knocking her away from him. Star flew halfway across the camp before crashing into the smoke house with a sickening crunch. Charging over to Falcon he picked the startled druid up, wrapping one of his talon-like hands around his throat. Rain received the same treatment with the demon's other hand. The Sin'dorei was tossed into the waiting arms of two lesser demons that carried him off. Falcon clawed at the hand stealing his breath. "Master …" Viser threw him back and he crashed into the border fence. There was no chance to recover as the winged demon drove one of his massive hoofed feet into his chest. Followed by a second and then a third, by the second blow Falcon realized the demon had decided to kill him. This was how it would end finally. "I'm sorry, Faya … I've failed you and our baby … I'm so sorry … I love you." As he conscious faded he reached out toward Rain. By then words were impossible to form but he felt his love returned as he let the darkness claim him. The leaves of the forests of Teldrassil broke through the shadows. For the longest time he laid there just watching the branches blow in the wind. "Are you just going to lay there?" His brother Kinro said looking down at Falcon. "I'm dead," Falcon replied. "I don't think there has to be an agenda anymore." "You're not dead, numbskull." Kinro replied with a smirk. "You're just hiding out." "Hiding out?" Falcon replied sitting up. The grass tickled his bare feet and he tucked them under his legs. "And what do tell, am I hiding from?" "Whatever is going on out there," Kinro said, a look of worry crossed his face. "It can't be good; you've been here a long time." "So I'm not dead … how did I get here?" Falcon asked. "Adran brought you here." "Rain," Falcon said with disbelief. "He knew you'd be safe here. A body can heal … it's the soul that can shatter. I think you should probably wake up now. It's really bad at there … they need you." Falcon nodded and closed his eyes trying to find his way out of the dream he did not put himself into. As the slumber faded he whispered his love to his brother and opened his eyes. He was lying in the hut, as the last remnants of his dream faded he could hear choking muffled sobs coming from somewhere close. His whole body felt weak as if he was a newborn, perhaps in ways he was. Turning his head slowly he found the source of the weeping, Crystal. She was sitting with her knees pulled up, her head resting there. Her whole body shook from the force of her tears. He tried to speak but his mouth felt like it was filled with cotton so reached out to her through his heart. "Beloved?" Her head jerked up and their eyes met. Within the look of relief he saw deep despair. "Akire, thank Elune" she reached out and touched his face. "I thought I had lost you both …" "Both?" Falcon asked alarmed. Biting her lip Crystal shook her head and fresh tears spilled. "Adran! Answer me; please for the love Elune answer me!" Cold silence answered him. "No … no … please no …" He reached out to his wife again. "What happened?" he asked. "I … there is more … you've been between life and death for three days, beloved …" "The mines …" Falcon asked confused. He had just been told his heart was dead and she was worried about the mines. "Not the mines. We've been on lockdown since that evening. No one has worked the mines; we've been living off our reserves. But … Adran …" "Please, I don't think I can hurt anymore … just tell me Faya." Falcon begged. "It's Sly …" "Kotka!" Falcon shouted. "Ouch," Sly replied. "Good to see you're awake, Akire. Things are a mess." "Come here," Falcon ordered. "Lad, sit down!" Sid shouted from outside somewhere. There was a murmuring argument and a moment later the door was opened and the dwarf looked inside. Relief crossed his face when he saw Falcon watching him. "It's good to see you awake, lad." "Come on, move over old man, injured coming through," Sly complained from behind him. "I don't think this is a good idea," the dwarf said. Still unable to talk Falcon motioned with his hand slightly that the dwarf should let the rogue in. With a deep sigh Sid stepped back and Sly came inside. Falcon could do little to hide the look of alarm that crossed his face when he saw the rogue. Sly's left side was covered in bandages; his left arm was completely gone from the shoulder down. His right leg was bandaged tightly at the knee and below that was nothing. The elf leaned heavy on a crutch and was supported by Red as well, who helped him sit down on a stool that was brought. "I couldn't …" Sid started. "Not after healing you and Star … I just didn't have enough left in me to make him whole." "Star?" Falcon whispered through dry lips. "I'm here, Falcon," the young Night Elf said stepping into the hut. "It was just a couple of busted ribs. I'm okay." The scar running down the length of her face told the druid that it wasn't just the ribs. "The rest?" Falcon asked, as Crystal sat him up. She braced him from behind and held a cup to his lips. He sipped the water within. "They are all okay, lad," Sid said. "Except …" "Rain," Falcon finished, his voice gaining strength. "Damn it, what happened …?" "I'll tell you beloved, once you gain your strength back. Knowing now will do no difference than knowing in a day or two." His body betrayed him as he started cough, his whole body shook from the force. Sid moved over and knelt, gently helping Crystal roll him over on his side as he channeled his healing into the druid soothing him. "She right, lad, rest for now." "Kotka and Faya," Falcon whispered, "lay with me. I need to know you're safe." "If only I had known years ago all it cost was an arm and leg to bed you!" Sly replied. There was more movement and the rogue was lowered down beside Falcon. Crystal curled up behind him and wrapped her arm around his chest. There were more sounds of shifting feet and then the door closed leaving the three of them alone. "Now," Falcon whispered as he started to self heal, "tell me what happened. I need to know."While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
