Drakians (Telios & DawnAntalios)

"Wh-What?" Vane stepped back and lost focus of the spell, the statis spell disappearing but he didn't mind. "Why? When? And how?" He asked, clearly confused.
 
He shook his head.


" The time is not yet ripe for you to know everything, Vane. " he said with a mischievous smile " I am on borrowed time, but you have the answer. I do not know how and I do not know why but you have something which can help me - a particular sword. "


He narrowed his eyes as he felt that he is fading away.


" I must go. But know this: at full moon under the guise of night go to the heart of Doonem. There you will find your answers. "


With that he vanished.
 
"Was that... Punos?" Vane was still surprised, but he had calmed down enough. "The full moon isn't far off... We must go on with our training as much as possible." He sighed.
 
Zoe, recovering from her shock stood up and looked at him with question in her eyes.


" Did he say... that you can help him? " she asked in disbelief " But... I did not sense anything bad in his voice... and not even the insanity from before... " she was confused. Now that Vane pointed out the boy and Punos did have some similarities. But why did he come and beg for help?
 
"Maybe he saw his future self and wanted to end himself... This is confusing alright." Vane sighed heavily, being not into time manipulating spells that much. "But we'll see at the next full moon..."
 
She stepped beside him.


" Whatever happens I will stand by your side, my dear. " she said with burning determination in her eyes " Lead and I shall follow. Together we will stop the coming darkness. "


She then turned to the ingredients and laughed a little.


" But first let us eat our lunch. "
 
"Yeah. Let's." Vane smiled at her, helping her cook and set the table for lunch. Soon the lunch was cooked and he sat down with her at the table.
 
The days have passed with intense training for both of them. While they did not hear anything about the malefic templars they decided to be more careful and chose training places accordingly. With each passing day Zoe felt more control over her transformation and teleporting abilities which made her very happy. The question still loomed ahead: why would Punos beg for his death now. With this in her mind she trained even harder knowing that they would face their old nemesis.


It was the eve before the full moon and she collapsed on the bed, completely exhausted. Their training was effective but also very tiresome, that was the price of becoming better and better. But knowing that all will be for the greater good she gladly threw herself into the fires of training to be shaped and molded into something greater.
 
Vane came out of the bathroom in clean clothes, smiling as he walked over to her on the bed. He was proud of her abilities now, having trained her to her best. "Tired?" He asked her although he already knew the answer as he sat down onto the bed next to her. A hand brushed her hair as he kept her close.
 
" In a good way. " she smiled at him. They have trained hard and it was worth it: both of them became much stronger and now she had the confidence that they could defeat anybody who would cross their paths. She kissed him on his cheeks and smiled.


" You are so strong my dear, I can only fathom to be your shadow. " she said gleefully " But I will do my best regardless, do not worry. "
 
"Well I don't think you are my shadow. You can be so strong too. But we need more time and that is what we don't really have." He sighed softly. "The fight is tomorrow and we needed to be prepared for it." He grabbed the artifact and willed the blade to come out. "I have been practice with this lately, so I think I can handle it well."
 
She smiled at him. Just by looking at Vane she imagined him being the king, so royal, so elegant he was as he wielded his mystical weapon.


" Yes, we are more than ready. " Zoe nodded " Do you think we should head to Doonem at night or earlier? I am not sure it is not a trap despite how Punos asked us. " she said cautiously.
 
"I think we'll teleport there at night. If we go there early, the templars might ambush us." Vane put the artifact away as the blade disappeared. He lied down next to her and kissed her passionately. "I love you."
 
She nodded and kissed him back.


" I love you too. " she whispered before she laid down on the bed once again, closing her eyes. In her mind she remembered an old lullaby she heard to be sang from an old priestess to a young boy in the town. Back then she did not like the melody... but now it made her eyes heavy and her head fuzzy. She fell asleep near her beloved, dreaming of sweet times.
 
Vane brushed Zoe's hair as she slept peacefully close to him. He wished that these moments lasted forever, not interrupted by war and killing. Sighing softly, he kissed on her forehead and slowly fell asleep with his arms around her.
 
The morning came and Zoe immediately noticed something strange. Looking out the window she saw that everything was cloudy and the black storm clouds blocked the sun itself, shrouding the land in twilight. Somehow she felt that this weather was not entirely a natural phenomenon and was weary about these ill omens.


Still she got out of bed and after having a shower and changing clothes she walked downstairs to prepare a giant breakfast for her and her mate. They will need all the energy they could get for today if they are to face darkness incarnate.
 
Vane woke up with a loud yawn, sitting up as he noticed that Zoe had already woken up. looking out at the window, he saw the sky was very cloudy, so much that the sun was blocked. He sighed and got up from bed, going downstairs to look for Zoe. "My love?" He called, looking around the house.
 
She placed the dishes on the table and did the massive amount of food as well. She sat down on the chair, wiping away a drop of sweat on her forehead when she noticed Vane coming downstairs.


" Your meal is served, my King. " she said chuckling.
 
Vane laughed as he sat down with her. "Now, we feast, my Queen." He replied and started to eat with her, enjoying the start of the day despite what they have to do tonight.
 
They finished their meal and Zoe washed the dishes then sat back down to him.


" Do you want to warn anyone that we are going? " she said " Like your parents or maybe the mayor? Otherwise i would ask your permission to rest and regenerate our strength. "
 
"I'll tell my parents and the mayor. Then we'll rest to conserve our energy." Vane answered and looked at her. "I just want them to know where we are if we don't return."
 
Zoe nodded and headed upstairs. She searched for her ebony black plate armor which she found after a short while. She touched it and even though many memories came in her mind none was too good. But the past was washed away in blood and now it was the time to set things right. She started to polish the colossal armor to prepare for tonight.
 
Vane went outside of the house to tell his parents and mayor where they are heading. Once he was done, he went back to the house and went upstairs to check on Zoe. "Polishing your armor?" He asked, walking into the room.
 
She looked up with a serious expression.


" I am bound by an oath of my knight still. I shall wear my armor proudly. " she said then looked outside. The ominous clouds still covered the sky but it was obvious that dusk approached quite fast. The breakfast was so filling that she did not even eat lunch as she was not hungry. She stood up to him.


" It is soon time, my love. " she said " Ready yourself. "
 
"I'm already ready." Vane said as he picked up the artifact and put it into a pouch on his belt. He didn't pack much, due to most of his attacks will be based on magic and his stamina.
