((Do me a favor and please re-read your posts some...Got a little lost on that post...Rather you take your time to post than to post fast and not be understood wink ))

The soldiers pend him to the ground with enough force make a small indent of his body. The commander of the group of men kneed his horse side and moved up to the boy, "If you so much a spell one word of elven I will cut out your vocal cores. Do I make myself clear?!"

He looked at his men and nodded. Soon Sang felt the cold hard metal of his shackles across his wrist, neck, and ankles as they clasped the resraints around his joints. Two men pulled him to his feet and deliever a painful punch to his gut, letting him be held up like a rag doll for a few second before he could stand on his own.

A soldier picked up the rock very slowly and carefully as if he were afraid it would bite him. The rock was quickly wrapped up in a leather wrap and stuffed into a pouch before being handed to the commander, who moved the leather cover to expose the top of the rock. He looked down at Sang letting him see the expose section of the rock, "Where did you find this...tell me now!"

The commander motion at his men and a group of twenty went off in the direction that Sang had given him. He turned back to Sang and snarled, "Where is lord Darsa!?"

"In valley of Najb sir," chimed one of his men.

The commander gave a nodded of his head and turned his horse around. This dragon rider needed to be taken to Darsa so he could transport them to the king. He motion for one of the scouts to come up and one did, "Go to Zajb at all haste. Tell Darsa we have found one, it is still unhatched, and we will wait for him in Terim. Go now!"

The scout took off in an all out gallop passed Sang as the Commander turned to him once more.

"We are going take a trip to Terim little boy...I suggest you coporate or you won't live long enough to regret your actions!"

Another gut wrench pain punch was his answer. The soldiers shoved him forward, "Move!"

For the remainer of the day Sang was forced to keep up with a gurling pace. The shackles at his leg did not allow much distance between his legs so he could not move very fast. So after the fifth fall he was tired to the Commander horse and drag whenever he fell.

The army reach Terim and immediatey began forcing people out of their homes and destroying while the searched. The commander voice bellowed out, "Any attempt to flee or refusal to coporate and you will be killed!"

Sang was taken to the local bar and thrown into of the back rooms were everything but the walls remained. He was changed to the floor and not given anything to eat while ten guards were placed outside the doorless frame.

A young women was allowed to come in the next morning. She carried a plate of food and water. She walked up next to Sang and placed the tray on the ground next to him. She gave a glance back at the preoccupied guard and looked up at Sang. Her face told many stories with all the fresh bruises and cuts. Her clothes were not much different.

She glanced back at the guard once again and spoke, "Why are they ripping apart the town? You must know something!?" She looked back at him, "You the only one that has been allowed to live after been chained up. What is going on? Please tell me!!!!"

The women frowned that his lack of information, "They have never been this much of a problem or threat before. Here..."

She scooted the tray closer to Sang and rose. She gave a small bow and left the room. Just before she left, she turned back to him and smiled, "I am Selena."

After finishing the small plate of food offered to him, he lies back for the first time sense his capture looking at the stars as strangely enough a lot of them are glowing a soft red in his eyes. "What was up with that rock that was so important to the king that he would demolish a hole village, and then kill most of the inhabitants?... I'm sure most of these people were loyal, they all must have payed their taxes, devoted their lives for the defense of the nation other wise they would be dead on stakes and the front gates to serve as warnings...So what has the king so riled up that he would do this... And keep a lowly farmer chained to a floor just for coveting a rock form the forest." Sighing softly he rolls a little bit onto his sides staring over towards one of the guards wondering if it was a human under their, because of the steady stance he kept for the hours he was being watched sill Sang's eyes finally grew heavy and closed on him.

Waking up slowly to the sound of her voice he looks to her face with a smile glad to see that she is still alive. " I have defiantly been better." he comments his voice sounding raspy and dry his lips cracking a little bit. "How long was I out?" he asks seeing that the last thing he remembers was the night he first met her.

Taking a quick gulp of water he lets out a quick sigh of relief as the water cools his stomic and core letting him think a little better.
"Not... Really. I know it has something to do with a stone i collected form the forest, but it was just an oddly colored rock. it more than likely held no monetary value but still the leader of this little army freaked out a little when he saw it."
