Chapter Four

Dart came back inside the wooden shack and watched as Shara gently patched up Lavitz's injured calf. It was almost like the teen was using magic, and maybe he was. He noticed how the knight was watching Shara's every move like a curious child. Shara washed the wound with water heated from the outside well, cleansed it with some strong liquor found unused in a cupboard , placed an herb over it, and then began to wrap it up.

"There," Shara said, smiling at his work, as the moon spider sat on his head like a silver crown. "A little sleep and you'll be up and moving in no time, Sir Knight."

"Thank you, Shara," Lavitz said, eyes still on the young man. "It barely hurts at all now."

Dart cocked his head the side. Shara was…amazing. He cleared his throat, causing both of them to turn and look at him. "I think we gave them the slip," he said, scratching the back of his head. "I can't hear anything."

"Dart," Shara said, rising to his feet, standing before him. "Where have you been these five years? No letters? No word? Nothing! Was the Black Monster so important?"

Those violet eyes were filled with anger and terrible sadness. He looked so utterly alone and ready for a fight again.

Lavitz looked lost in translation.

"Never mind," he said, beginning to turn away from him with pink cheeks. "It is none of my business."

"I grew up angry," Dart quickly said, glad that Shara was talking now, asking questions. "I lost…everything…"

Shara turned back. "I know…"

"I told you that night that I wanted revenge," Dart continued, blue eyes filling up with memories from long ago. "I wanted to kill the one who destroyed my home, murdered my parents, slaughtered my friends and neighbors…"

"Well," Shara laughed bitterly, eyes looking wet. "Now I know how you feel…"

Silence filled the little shack.

"What is the Black Monster?" Lavitz asked, sitting up a little bit. "What are you two talking about?"

Dart knew Shara's pain, and now Shara knew his pain. They both now knew each other even more intimately.

"I had two homes," Dart began, motioning for Shara to sit down and then he followed suit. "One was Seles, where I lived with Shara and his parents who took me in after the tragedy…and the other is where I lived with my parents, my first home, a wintry place, which was destroyed by the monster eighteen years ago…Neet."

I am 23 now…funny how time flies…

"I was five years old when Neet was attacked by the Black Monster. It came down out of the sky on wings of black fire and death. Late at night, I can still hear the screams and feel the terrible heat from the flames that melted flesh from bones. It killed anything that moved. Only three of us made it out of the village. My mom, my dad, and myself. But, my dad went back and my mother followed him. That's how much she loved him. She wanted to help him and everybody. I begged her not to go. I begged them both not to go. The Black Monster was waiting. I was left all alone in the forest. Cold and shivering. I stayed hidden all night until the sun started to come up. When I walked back to the village, I recognized nothing. There were no bodies. That's how hot the flames burned. The only thing I found was this…"

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small round pebble. It was red as blood and shinier than a gold coin in the light.

He let Shara hold it. "My father always carried it on him."

Shara placed the stone back into Dart's hand. "I'm sorry…"

"So," Lavitz said. "What brought you back to Seles?"

Dart felt the blood rise in his cheeks and it was as if Lavitz suddenly recognized his discomfort.

"Neet?" Lavitz went on. "Is that a village in this country? You said wintry. It never snows here."

"Farther north," Dart answered, grateful for the change in questioning. "I doubt anyone even remembers it anymore."

Lavitz nodded and Shara kept looking at him with those eerie, yet beautiful eyes.

Dart coughed. "Lavitz?"

"Yeah?"

"What is going on? Why are these bad things happening now? Has something happened with the truce?" He asked.

Lavitz sighed and closed his eyes. "Our Kingdom, Basil, is at war with Imperial Sandora…It has now spread all over Serdio."

Dart's eyes widened. "What happened?"

"The dragon happened," Lavitz answered, eyes staring up at the ceiling above. "A real dragon. It shifted the balance of power. Emperor Doel became more aggressive."

"Dragon?" Shara and Dart both asked at the same time. They looked at each other and Dart moved closer to Lavitz. "Can such a creature be used in war?"

Lavitz turned his head over and looked directly at him. "Do you know something?"

Dart nodded. "I was attacked by a large green dragon close to Seles. It was massive and almost got me. I was saved by a passing…w…warrior. That's why I am still alive. If it hadn't been for the warrior, I never would have escaped it."

He looked at Shara who looked as though he had stopped breathing. He looked white as bone.

"I'm okay," he said, patting him on the knee.

Shara took a deep breath.

"The dragon has gotten more bold," Lavitz said with worry. "It will only be a matter of time before they can coerce it to attack Bale. I must do something before it is too late…"

"So many casualties…" Shara whispered, his voice echoing in the silence.

"War is a terrible, evil thing, Shara," Lavitz said to him. "I have to get back to Indels Castle as quickly as possible now. There are so many things I must inform King Albert about. You two must come with me. It will be safer there for now. King Albert can help you. Plus, Minister Noish might know something about the Black Monster."

Dart thought it over in his head and Shara picked the spider up off his head and nuzzled it with his cheek. It almost looked like the two of them were talking with each other. His eyes looked so intense and talkative.

He looked at the knight and realized he was right. Shara would be safer farther from Seles. Plus, Lavitz looked like he didn't want to travel alone.

Dart nodded. "Okay."

Lavitz grinned from ear to ear. "Wonderful." He moved to get up. "Let's go."

Shara's head snapped around. "You will rest."

"You will make a wonderful partner someday, Shara," Lavitz said, still struggling to rise. "But, we don't have time."

The moon spider hissed at the knight. "You will rest," Shara told him, rising to his feet with a stunning grace Dart hadn't known he had.. "Did you know that moon spiders have this wonderful little toxin that can paralyze and even kill? I wonder though…if it is used in a smaller dosage, can it put someone to sleep for a few hours?"

Dart gulped.

"I'd be curious to find out," Shara continued, tapping his chin with a long index finger. Dart took notice of how long and really sharp his nails looked. "Get me some water, Dart."

"Okay," the knight said, sitting back down. "I'll rest. But, at first light, we leave."

Shara nodded. "I am content, Sir Knight."

"Are you mocking me?" Lavitz asked.

Shara nodded. "Yes."

The knight snorted.

It wasn't long before Lavitz was out like a light. He snored ever so slightly.

Shara got back up and walked towards the door. Dart asked him where he was going, and the dark headed teen told him he was going to go get some water so he could wash himself. He said that he felt gross and wanted to feel somewhat clean before shutting his eyes to sleep.

"It is getting dark out there," Dart said, rising to his feet as well.

Shara turned back to him. "I'm not afraid of the dark."

The blond rolled his eyes. "Uh huh…"

"That was a long time ago," Shara said, placing Snowdrop back on top of his head and walked out.

Dart frowned.

It was a long time ago…five years…I missed so much…

OOOOOOO

About an hour later, Shara had a large barrel full of well water and was heating it. When it was at the right temperature that he desired, he put the flames out. It was crude, but it would get the job done.

As he was stripping off his clothes, he heard footsteps and then a small inhalation of breath. He spun around with his hands up like claws, quickly relaxing when he saw that it was only Dart.

The blond was just standing there all wide eyed and jaw on the ground. That was when he realized that he was butt naked and quickly picked up his shirt to cover himself.

"Sorry," Dart said, turning his back to him. "I was just coming to tell you that I caught some fish down at the stream. I'm going to cook them."

He saw me! He saw me naked! Oh, gods!

What is the problem, Beloved? Snowdrop asked him.

Nothing…

He cleared his throat. "When I am done, do you want me to heat water for you?"

Dart kept his broad back to him. His hands were tightened into fists at his side.

"You don't mind?" He asked in a slightly higher tone.

He's blushing…and nervous…

Shara placed his shirt on a low hanging tree branch and boldly walked up behind the swordsman. He slid his arms in between Dart's and wrapped them around his waist. He felt the blond stiffen and then relax. He rested his head against his broad back and squeezed him tight.

"I missed you so much, Dart," he said, closing his eyes against the tears that were streaming down his cheeks. "I kept hoping and praying that you'd come back…that you'd come back to me…for me…"

"Shara?" Dart whispered. "Are you crying?"

"No."

"Liar."

"Yes."

Dart began to turn and Shara let him. The bigger man took him into his arms and held him close. Tears streamed down his cheeks and he began to cry. He would have fallen to Dart's feet if the blond hadn't had a hold on him.

"I got you," Dart said, kissing him on top of the head. "I got you."

"My parents…my friends…Dart…"

His heart felt like it was going to burst. It hurt so much. If Dart had not come for him, he would have killed himself. And he really would have.

"It hurts," Dart said, squeezing him a little tighter. "I know it hurts. I'm here."

OOOOOOO

Dart had no idea what to do. He had never seen Shara cry like this before. His cries racked his slender frame and he was scared to death.

What if he breaks? What if I lose him? I can't let that happen. I won't let that happen. I love him too much. He's all I have! I won't lose him, too!

Even though the younger boy was naked, Dart held him as if it didn't matter. He had never before seen Shara naked. It had been a shock. A shock of lightning.

The boy was celestial. An angel crying in his arms.

He felt Shara move and lifted his chin off his head. Wet amethyst eyes were gazing up at him. They were sparkling with a bright, inner light, and they took his breath away. His own eyes widened when Shara's lips were suddenly being pressed against his own.

Oh, gods! His mind screamed as he deepened the kiss. He tastes even sweeter than I remember.

A few seconds of kissing passed and Shara pulled away. Blood red lips smiled and Dart through he would go blind from the brilliance of it. The boy suddenly seemed to glow from the inside out, like the moon.

Shara looked down. "I'm going to wash up now…"

"I have fish to cook," Dart found himself adding rather dumbly.

"When I'm done, I'll heat some more water for you and check on Lavitz's bandage."

Dart nodded.

Shara walked away from him and Dart couldn't help but watch. His backside was as lovely as the front. He watched him lower himself down into the steamy water and splash his face several times, before turning away, he heard Shara humming. It was a song he himself had sung to him many years ago.

As he began preparing the fish to be cooked, he started humming the song to himself as he kept his eye on the smoke.

To be continued…
