Darek couldn't help but let lose a small smile. "On one condition. I pay and I choose where. Sound fair enough?" He said hoping this would help with her mood. It usually would, he knew well enough for that. And Darek led her to a small restaurant at the edge of the village.

As he led her to the small restruant she couldn't help but smile slightly. "Didn't I say not to talk?" She said as they stopped. It was small and there was only a few people inside eating. There were tables outside and a fountian in the courtyard. Off to the side there was a garden where a person (or persons) could sit after they're meals. "Wow." She said soflty.
((This is restruant is a real one in my town. It's so coolio there. xp )

The waitradie walked up to them and gave a small bow. She looked Darek over and smiled. "It is a pleasure to serve you again, sir. Would you like the us-" She stoped as she saw Katara. "On the other hand. I think the balcany would be suprurbe at this time of day. You will seated by the Skutra tree. I will lead you up there and be back to get your orders." She said and led them up stairs to the balcany. They were the only ones up there at the the time. But there were only three tables, so it din't look that empty. She seated them at the edge of the balcany and scurried back to the stairs. Darek seemed a bit flustered by the event. 'She made thing seem so obviouse.' He said to himself, shaking off the feeling.

Katara was suprised as the woman ushered them up the stairs and seated them. "So...you've been here before?" she said, looking at the small menu. Suprisingly, she was in the mood for alcohol drink. She sighed, "So."

Enzeru's anger was boiling. She wanted so bad to kill Arnold, but what Darek said was buzzing in her mind. He deserves to die. If I don't kill him I'll have to live with knowing that inocent people died while a killer was allowed to live but... She looked with rage filled eyes at Arnold, trying with all her might not to lose control. The old dragoon would not condone it. He would never forgive me and his unhappiness is one thing I would rather not live with. As her options ran through her mind, tears started to form in her eyes, and she dropped the dagger. At that point the athorities came bursting through the doors, running at Arnold and pinning him to the ground to restrain him. "Ma'am, did this man hurt you?" She shook her head as she cleared her mind. "No, not this time." The offiscer looked at her in confusion, but before he could speak, she had turned and left the store.

The young woman came back with a bottle of wine. Her eyes stayed on Katara with sly smile. "Not wine. I would have to spend all of me money on one from that year." Darek said pushing the bottle away. "No young sir. The owner says this is free of charge. A gift for helping with the robers the first time you came through. The meal is free of charge as well. No exceptions!" She said with a demanding, yet kind voice. Darek sat down and let her pour the glass. "We are already making your meal. It is a suprise but, it may take a wile." As she left Darek hung his head and shook it back and forth. "Ok, this will take a bit but try not to interupt. Three years ago when i started going in and out of the village I had already started on geting a high ranking position with the king. It started with small things in towns and villages around the kingdom. I would take care of small thing like robery, badits, and other things like that. After one year I had caught the kings eye and he wanted to test my skills. So then I took on slightly bigger things, like raids on bandits and small battles. A year and a half went by and I was told to go home for the next six mounths and then I was to report to the king if I wanted to coninue my work on a larger scale. I knew it was the only way, at the time, to get one of the things I wanted. But when I came back to the village and stayed for some time, it became hard to let it all go. The only thing that kept me going was that there was nothing that i could do in the village. I am no farmer, merchant, cook, butcher, or anthing in the village. And there were things that wanted more than anything and couldn't unless I had something to stand on. For what future I might want. I would have to serve for just two years in an active position and then I would resign to war council position and live as I saw fit. I carved that bracelet on my journies though the kingdom. You were what always brought me home. And from there on you know the rest." Darek finished and poured a glass of wine and gulped down the contents. He took in a deep breath. "Ok, your turn." He said bracing for what he tough might a storm of fire.

As she listened her fingers traced the shape of the bracelet. Then he finished. She was quiet for a while. The sound of the water from the fountian filled her ears. Then she spoke, "Let me ask you one thing. Would you choose to be the king's puppet if you knew that you were going to be a Dragoon?" She said, taking a sip of the sweet wine. She didn't wonder about the countless times he killed men, and woman. She didn't wonder about the way he helped this restruant. She didn't care about that. She just wanted to know this one thing, and she would be okay.

Darek frouned. "I have and never will be the kings puppet. What I did was of my own choice. At the begining I may have taken orders like any follower would but, I was a indepentant or so they called me. To anwer your question though, I would only serve the king if his requests were just and nesisary. I am no tool and the king knows this. I serve the people of our land not a king. It is his son that I would never fight for or with. He has a stange way of doing things and it is always with mor bloodshed than is needed. But I neednt think about what was. I have taken a new path and it will not come near the king for some time." Darek paused for a moment. "What would you have done if we had not become dragoons and I had left the village?" He said looking off into the distance

Gill walked through the little village, not knowing where they were staying, since no one seemed to bother updating him. He had re-gained conrol of his stomah, but he was still shaking, and sweat glistened on his forehead. His stomach still lurched, but he managed to keep everything down.

Katara sat there, looking at him. In her mind, she still saw the King as the ruthless ruler, who only wants an army to keep his title. But she decided not to argue with him. She thought over his question and said, "I would've kept my grandfather's cottage and live on with my life until you returned, if you ever did. My grandfather never set up a marriage for me, you know. He didn't believe in that. You know him. Any how. I would've waited for you. If you never returned, then I would've died alone." She said, taking a sip of her wine. "Would you have returned?" She asked, pouring her self some more wine.

Far in the dark deserts. A lone tower stood in the waistlands. In the highest room there were three men in hoods. One sat on a throne of stange bones. The other two faced him in respect. What is our next move, my Lord." The Man on the throne shifted and glowing puple eyes shone from his hood. "I will atempt a feat the no one in this cult has ever atempted to do. It will be the greatest abomination in the world. But my project needs a dragon. Just one for now. They are hard to find but, I have heard rumor that they havegathered in the moutains for some reason or antother. Bring me one body in good condition. You may have to bring it to me in pices. I will restore it when it gets here. Destroy the towns that you come by on the way to gain some... Reenforcements. That should be enought to take on a dragon." The other two bowed and said. "Yes my Lord. We shall go now. To life, to death, to undeath, and to redeath living." and they left the room. "I wonder if i can go beyond the necromunger for and be more than I am now. I will rule through death and fear." His hood fell and his skin shone white and was roting in some places. A wid smile crept acrose his face and magot slid from his cheek.

Darek smiled. "Of corse." He gently grabed her hand and turned overthe bracelet. He took the two dragons and pressed thme toganter. The grooves that were the scales seemed to fit themselves togather. On on sid there were three gliffs. They were hard to see on the clear surface but with the light hiting them they stood out brightly. "It says 'A Promis to return.' I never intended to leave forever. There were thing in the vilage that seemed to keep me there." his eyes drifted off for a moment. Then two women came up the stairs with large plates of food. ((You can diside what is on the plates. I am not good at dicribing food. If I do I will make myself hungry. LOL.))

Katara looked at the bracelet and was about to say something but plates were put on the table. She raised her hands off the table when her plate was set in front of her.
On her plate there was long, flat noodles with a creamy sauce spread over it. Shrimp was on the other side of the plate covered in the same sauce. In the center was rice and brocolli with pepper sprinkled over it. They set a small plate next to her food. On it was a slice of a brownie with a vinella ice-cream scoop on it and it was drizzled with carmel.
On Derak's plate there was a large steak with a lime slice next to it. A pile of mash patatos coated was butter and a little bowl of sour cream next to it. Then he was served a small salad. He recieved the same dessert. Then the one woman left, and the other brought another bottle of wine, setting in on the table. Then she opened the windows and let the breeze flow through before she left. Katara said, "When you would've came home, what did you intend to do?" She said softly, stabbing a shrimp and popping into her mouth.

Darek took in a breathe before he spoke. "I would have built a house and some horse land. At least four horses. And of course I would have to start a family that would live in the house with me. My only problem there is that I may be a strong and well learned in some ways But in the ways of love, I am as clueless as i was when I was five. My father said that I should marry a woman in the kings court. I always laughed when he said that and mother... She always agreed with who I liked. I just never had the guts to act on it. Now with all of these secrets and changes, I wonder if she would still accept me, if she ever would have in the first place." He said trying to tip toe around a name and see what her opinion would be as a neutral.

Gill walked past buildings, none familiar, and he stopped occasionally, gazing around to make sure he wasnt walking in circles. He sat down against one building accross from a fancy looking resturant. He saw a woman open a window in the upper levle and he thought he recognized the people sitting the closest to it.....
