Chapter Fifty-Two
On the verge of entering his dream Falcon reached out for Rain. Without the elf to welcome him it took a few tries to slip into the subconscious of the other. It was just as dark as before and even colder. Once centered in the haunted dreamscape he reached out for his wife first and helped her find the way, followed by Red and finally Sly. As the rogue materialized, he let out an excited cry.
"I think I like this dream walking," Sly whispered, as he stood on his own. "I'm whole once more. Though next time I want to dream of a tropical island, with a pretty little …"
"Focus," Falcon chastised. Though dark, there was still enough light to see one another. Crystal pointed to the east and the druid could see what looked like a fire flickering in the distance. "Be careful," he warned the others. "He's not alone and they will know we're here."
The sound of sobbing reached them and Sly grabbed Falcon's arm preventing him from racing off. "Hurrying now will lose us everything," the rogue warned, "Think before you rush into anything."
Falcon nodded as he shrugged out of the hand and walked toward the sound, it was coming from the fire Crystal had spotted earlier. Soon a disquieting scene came into view. Rain was eagle spread on the wall, his legs and right hand was chained to the wall and he was fighting with a demon who was struggling to shackle his left wrist. His face was unscarred, brilliant emerald eyes glowed. "You really thought a child would be able to fetter an overlord of the Burning Legion?" Viser hissed. "I'll take this new body and after I feast on the ones you claim love you; I'll present myself to Lord Illidan. I will become one of his greatest weapons."
"Hands off my heart, demon," Falcon growled. To his amazement Viser startled at his voice and whipped around. The demon hadn't sensed their approach at all, Rain must have blocked them. By Elune how strong was that elf?
"Well that will make the slaughtering of your loved ones easier," Viser said with an evil grin. "Not sure how you found your way here … wonder what will happen to your bodies after I slay you in this realm?"
Sly, Crystal and Red spread out from Falcon making a semicircle around the demon and his prisoner. "We are not the ones falling this day, demon." The druid said as he embraced the spirit of the grizzly. "Without a body your mind and influence over my heart will be vanquished."
"Is that true … Akire?" The hatred behind his true name cut him to the soul and he let out a cry. Those that traveled with him suffered similar attacks, causing them to fall to their knees. "You've been keeping secrets from me …" Viser hissed aloud as he approached Falcon. The druid struggled to get on all four feet and the agony within increased. "You have caused me much grief, Earthhunter. I think I will return the favor."
Viser turned away from Falcon and sauntered toward Crystal. "We'll start with you, Faya … you should have abandoned the elf in the caverns, now your child will pay the price."
Falcon charged as his wife stood. "My name is Faya Crystalpath," she said coolly. "Lifemate of Akire Crystalpath and heart mate of Adran, the unborn child you are so eager to eradicate is giving me the strength to fight, we will not fall this day, monster."
Falcon slammed into Viser and was rewarded by a set of talons scraping down his side. Grunting he chomped down on the wrist. "Your strength comes in defending those you love, Adran. You can break the bonds, this is your dream … your mind, not his … unleash the force that is Adran, take our power we give it to you freely."
"AKIRE!" Falcon shuddered under the attack; the ability to control the grizzly left him as Viser wrapped his hand around his throat and started squeezing.
"Time to die, Earthhunter," Viser hissed.
There was an inhuman scream and with his fading sight Falcon saw Rain pulled the chains from the wall. They disappeared as the elf charged; twin Warglaives appearing in his hands. This was his world, his dream … everything here was because he willed it. One blade passed smoothly through the arm gripping druid, severing it. As Viser sprung back, the mutilated arm shimmered and reappeared whole.
"You cannot destroy me," Viser laughed, "I am you!"
"You were the means to an end," Rain replied darkly, "and I no longer need you. Everything thing I want is right here." The elf attacked, the Warglaives were a blur as he made the demon take a step back and then another. Out of the darkness a cage appeared unnoticed by Viser and Rain forced him inside and the door slammed shut. Falcon walked over to the elf and wrapped his arms around him. Within the cage the demon roared.
"You cannot seal me away, elf. You will lose all my gifts and become a useless blind piece of flesh!" Viser hissed.
"That looks too comfortable to spend an eternity in," Falcon said, "May I suggest something smaller?" The cage shrunk and with it the noise from the one trapped inside. Soon it took on the image of Rain's crate. "Smaller …" Falcon urged. And it continued to shrivel until Sly bent down and picked it up, the box fit in his palm.
"Now what?" the rogue asked, tossing the prison casually.
"You're free," Falcon whispered to the silent elf in his embrace. "Remember my dreamscape, my heart?"
The world around them started to lighten and from the shadows lush woodlands appeared. "I've never seen the forest," Rain whispered.
"Look inside us," Sly said, "draw from our experience." Vibrant flora appeared and blossoming grass grew under their feet.
Rain reached over and took the box the rogue still held. Walking over to an oak with a small hallow in it, he set the prison inside. Flowering vines appeared and wrapped around the tree, sealing it. "He's quiet now, but he'll always be a part of me … what if he escapes?"
"We won't let that happen," a familiar voice said and startled Falcon turned around to find his brother standing there and at his side was Star. Kinro smiled. "We'll keep the trouble maker quiet," he said.
"How?" Falcon asked.
"You don't need me in your head any more, big brother," Kinro said. "Katri and I will watch over your heart from within. It will be up to you to watch over one another out there."
"I don't understand," Falcon whispered.
"Don't think too hard," Star said with a smirk. "You're free," her eyes moved to Rain. "You're all free, time to wake up and embrace your new beginnings. Thank you all for everything you did for me, we'll see one another again." The two wraiths joined hands and walked over to the tree that held Viser disappearing.
"So," Sly said looking around. "Um, where is the exit?"
Rain moved over to the rogue and kissed him, it was deep and lingering. Then Sly vanished from sight, aided back to his body by Rain. Moving to Red next the elf nuzzled her on the cheek and if words were exchanged they were done silently as she faded away. Rain looked around the forest and smiled. "I don't think I'll be afraid to dream any more," he said, "thank you for not listening … saving me."
The trio of elves embraced for a long moment. "Make love to me," Rain said softly, "like you did that night."
"Oh, my heart," Falcon whispered, "We will, time and time again but for now we need to wake up, finish our journey."
Rain started to sob, Crystal and Falcon held him. "I lose my tears when I awake," the elf whispered sadly.
"We still see them," Falcon said softly, "you can't hide your heart from us. But I pray there will only be tears of happiness from here on out." He gently pushed Crystal away from the elf's dream world to wake up. He stayed a moment longer taking in the details of the face he would not see again unmarred.
"Am I that unsightly?" Rain asked.
"Never," Falcon said, "you could have the face of an orc and all I would see is love." He kissed Rain one more time and then whispered loudly, "Wake up, my heart, we're waiting for you!"
With that he found his way back to his own body and slowly awoke. It took a long moment to shake the last remnants of the dream. The tent overhead confused him, he blinked a few times. The concerned face of Sly appeared over him, looking down.
"Akire, we have a problem," the rogue whispered.
"Akire!" Rain's alarmed mind touch was both welcomed and troublesome at the same time. It was good to have the elf able to speak to his heart again but why was it so panicked? He glanced beside him to see what was wrong and found only his wife waking from her own dream. Sleep left him quickly and he sat up looking around. He, Sly and Crystal were lying under a tarp raised over their heads. All around them were dwarves unfamiliar to him. Across the way was Dylan and one of the strange dwarves was arguing, at the knight's feet was Rain in shackles lying across Demoncraft's lap. The orc was also in irons. Red was kneeling beside Rain, the dwarf didn't seem too happy.
"Akire, I can't see, the demon was right … he took his gift of sight away from me … what's going on, there are voices I don't know …"
"I don't know my heart," Falcon replied as calmly as he could. "Please be still, shackles are nothing new to you and I swear you won't wear them for long."
"Are you and the others safe?"
"Yes, we are unharmed, I'm afraid they are judging you on your nationality. It is Nis who is touching your cheek."
"Horde versus Alliance seems a bit trivial after all this doesn't it, Akire?" Sly said interrupting the whispers.
"Ah lad, it is good to see you awake," Sid said approaching. "Dylan and Rad sent us, um help … sorry, lad, they wouldn't take no for an answer when it came to the elf."
"Who?" Falcon asked gesturing at the dwarf still in discussion with Dylan.
"Thane Kurdan himself of the Wildhammer Stronghold!" Sid said with reverence in his voice. Falcon nodded and stood stepping out the tarp. Dylan saw him approach and his face lit up.
"Thank the Light," the paladin said, "I was beginning to wonder if you would ever wake up."
"Has it been that long?" Falcon asked confused, time moved differently in dreams.
"Almost a half of day," Dylan said, "how did it go?"
"The demon is gone," Rain said startling those around them. "The scars left behind remain but the shadows are gone from my heart."
"Good to hear, Rain," Dylan said. "Sorry about waking up in iron bracelets."
"Please remove the shackles from my mate's wrists," Falcon growled.
"They be horde, lad!" the dwarf leader said.
"Do you have any idea what we have been through?" Falcon said kneeling and running a hand alongside Rain's cheek reassuringly.
"Some," the dwarf said, "though I be finding it hard to believe … decades trapped beneath the ground … by the Light …" Thane Kurdran shook his head. "I know something like that could mess with one's head, but to take a Sin'dorei as a mate … a demon hunter at that …"
Rain grabbed Falcon's hand and kept it to his cheek, preventing the druid from lashing out like he wanted to "I am demon hunter no more," he said. "I mean no harm to anyone; I just want to go home."
"And where be your home, lad?" the dwarf said.
"With me," a new voice said and Falcon startled. Over the dwarf's shoulder standing in a deep violet robe was a male Sin'dorei; he was flanked by similarly dressed elves. "I knew it was you, Adran," the man said. "As soon as the Tauren at Shadowmoon Village started speaking of a fallen initiate of Illidan. Last time we spoke your mother gloated about what had become of you. It is time to go home, my son."
