Dragon and the Present

With out hesitating she quickly climbed up on his back. Although he was in a much smaller form he still dwarf her tiny frame. As her silky legs wrapped around his back she was mildly surprised at how soft his scales where. By all appearances they would appear to be hard and course, but now as her legs held him tight they seemed to be soft against his skin like that if plush fir.

As her eyes where already accustomed to the darkness it was still hard to see when there was nothing but blackness around them .. so she put her head down on his back trying to stay as low as she could .. not because she was worried about bumping her head on some unseen object, but because something came flying out of the darkness.

She held tightly with one arm, her other hand down on the hilt of her dagger.
 
Tiam chuckled but it came out deep and raspy in the form he was in as the bats flew out of the cave. His eyes more use to switching form light to dark vision. They peered in the cave as he looked about taking in every inch of the cave committing to memory. As he walked along he saw something odd out of the corner of his eyes behind some rocks it wasn’t moving but the shape itself didn’t fit the cave lay out. Slowly he crept over to it only to find it to be out of his reach. Huffing out his nose sending out a plume of smoke the cloud rose up and over his head before it got near Rachell.

“Rachell there is something behind that rock over there I’m to large to move it and see what it is. Its not alive or else it would have moved by now. Please go and see what it is I’m afraid that what ever it is will not be pretty.” he lowered himself so that she can climb down easily and go view the object. And unknown to her Tiam her a soft sound echoing in the cave and his tail flicked uneasily. As he waited for her to report what she found.

Meanwhile deeper in the cave a small kobold fold began to stir at the sounds of the two companions entering and disturbing there lair. They separated into small groups and began to move through the larger areas of the cave circling the two people that have wondered into their home. These kobolds where not ordinary though they are trained fighters for arena matches in the town center. Their handlers where the three man that attacked Tiam the previous day. The men thought they would be clever and have the kobolds exact revenge for them and just take the girl for there own and anything they happen to be carrying. If only they knew what Tiam was they would never have tried this.
 
Rachell climed off of Tiams back and withdrew her dagger.. but about half way to the rock that tiam had pointed to Rachell knew she wouldn't need the dagger. She put a hand in front of her nose as the smell of rotting flesh hit her. As she climbed over the rock the sight made her queasy. There was what appeared to be a man. His top half was missing and what was lift of him maggots where squirming in and out of.

As she turned around to tell Taim that this poor guy would be causing them no trouble, she saw something move quickly behind Tiam.

"Tiam. LOOK OUT," she shooted and quickly drew both her swords
 
His nose caught the stench of death at least and he heaved a sigh at the waist of good meat that and knowing it will take weeks to get out the smell. As he snaked his head back around he heard Rachell call out in warning and he saw one of the kobolds leap right at him. Tiam swat at the puny thing and drove to the ground crushing the life out of it with his front paw not even dirting his claws with its blood. The others seeing their comrade fall so swiftly decide to attack as a group attempting to do their best to harm their foes. Tiam roared loudly as they swarmed into the cavern the tiny shorts and shields raised as if that could protect from what was next. The sound of air rushing can be before Tiam mighty maw spewed forth great flames engulfing almost all of the tiny creatures before. Some scattered in time leave just four or five left as they tried to flee the great beast they have mistaken as harmless. The ones unfortunate to but caught in the sudden flames where burnt to a crisp with in seconds.

“Rachell stay close there may be more of them. This may have just been a scouting party.” Tiams’ anger slowly grew at this sudden show of beings. For someone hid there very existence from the village and him who ever they where they are good. Growling he slowly moved forward the bright light not have even phased him after it had dimmed. What Tiam didn’t know was that a few managed to get past him and went after Rachell. The small fighters ran at her swords raised in rage. But their very anger will be there down fall for there eyes are still readjusting from the sudden burst of light that claimed most of their comrades lives.
 
There was a lot about Rachell that Tiam still didn't know.. a lot that she didn't know herself. Much of her past was still a mystery .. it seems that as long as she can remember she had always been with her mother.. but the problem was .. she could only remember the past two years. Everything else from her past was a blank... she remembered waking one morning and not knowing where she was when the woman calmed to be her mother. Using Rachell as a servant and a whipping doll for the woman's drunken rages. Rachell having no reason not to had believed the woman.

but there was always something different about Rachell. She was much smaller then the other people in the village .. even those of her same age. Her fair complexion and red hair stood out from the others with there olive complexions and dark black hair. Even her ears which she always kept well hidden behind her long red hair where much longer and came out to a point .. she always thought she was deformed so she always made sure nobody ever saw her ears.

But now here in the cave.. she saw the flash of light as three of the kobold ran around it.. she saw there figures silhouetted running towards her.. and just like back in the shop when she was testing the dagger.. something came over her...

She was quick... faster then any human... perhaps it was her small size.. but even Tiam would have had a hard time keeping up to her.. suddenly she had both swords in her hands ... twirling them and switching them back and forth in her hands so fast you couldn't even see the movement of her hands as the swords seemed to take on a life of there own in her hands.

Before they could reach her .. in a blink of an eye.. she was there to meet them and meet them she did... her swords forming and X and slicing right through the first kobold.
Then she thrust both swords out to each side where then each found the soft bellies of the other two Kobold's.

By the time Tiam finished with the others and turned around Rachell was back on the rock sitting with her knees draw up to her chest and her arms wrapped around her knees. Laying on the ground halfway between Taim and Rachell on the rock where the bodies of three dead Kobolds.
 
Tiam heard the screeches of the kobolds as Rachell sliced through them and as he turned around he saw something her lithe body and her ears and then it all made sense Rachell was no ordinary human. She was an elf or at least half elven. He wasn’t sure of which but either way she is far more deadly than some mere human and if given the right training she could be very skilled in other things beside swordsmanship cause like dragons elves are apart of magic. Humans have lost that connection a long time ago and yet there are still those they find ways to connect with the great source through herbs and runes. Granted many spells have been written down and passed on by word of mouth but very few humans can use magic with out some type of mediator such as the herbs.

“Rachell you’re a elf or at least part elven. This will make our time together much more interesting. I can show you a whole new world of things and abilities you have yet to tap into. I should know I secretly lived among them as I regain my strength from…. From a certain time in my life maybe I will share this story with you some night. See if those creature you killed carry and seals or some type of marking like a coat of arms its like that symbol that is on the collar you are wearing.” He watched her as she rummaged through the corpses. His ears tuned in and listening for even the smallest of sounds. But what he didn’t know was that the only one that was left escaped the cave and began to frantically run towards the town to tell his master that they have failed and what he fought. Of course the men thinking they have succeeded in their revenge have already left the town and a leisurely pace towards the cave to claim their treasures.

“I wonder what we should do with that girl he was with?” the first man said smiling as he rode his horse. Looking to his two companions this man was wearing plate armor and carried a claymore on his back. The one right next to him was in leather and carried a bow with a smaller sword at his side. The last was wearing light clothing and had a book strapped to the horses side which he would occasionally grab and thumb through.

“Stephen you really should start thinking with your brain not your dick.” this coming from the man dressed like a ranger. Stephen laugh at the mans joke and gave him a good punch in the arm smiling at him.

“Just because we are brothers Travis doesn’t mean I wont wallop you for treating me like the young of the three.” Stephen said still light with humor. The third brother looked at them and just shook his head his black robes rippling with the movement “But lets not forget the real eldest the black mage Théoden.” He laughed at that but stopped short as he saw the kobold come tumbling out of the brush and landing right in front of them all humor and laughter drained from his face. The eldest was the first to speak.

“What news have you… Mudclaw” He identified the creatures name and he recalled everything that has happened in the cave and how he was the last one alive out of the small grouping of 20 that where there. The men picked him up and began to race to the cave with a new goal. To slay the fire breathing beast and to take the girl from him and make her there slave.
 
Rachell had seen the flashes of light so bright the blinded her for a moment and throw her into darkness.. as her eyes cleared and the vision came back to her she saw Tiam across the cave from her, and laying half way between Tiam and herself where the bodies of three dead Kobold. From high upon her perch on the rock, her emerald green eyes peering out from her long red hair that draped around her, the way she was sitting with her legs drawn up made her seem even smaller then her already small frame.

The look on her face was on of confusion, She had heard stories about mysterious elves and other creatures but legion had it that these mystical creatures lived way beyond the reach of humans on the other side of Denmarks peeks a treacherous mountain range so high the human eye couldn't even see the top of. And on the other side of that was Grims forest dark and foreboding filled with monsters and trees that would come alive and ensnare its victims in its roots. and then the dead lake so black you couldn't even see your own hand just a few inches under the water. and then if you where able to find the village it would be surrounded by a magical force that blocked outsiders from being able to see or enter the village. What would a small elven girl be doing so far from the village and what would have made her forget her past.

Finally she slid off the rock and made her way over to the bodies of the three dead Kobold's. Surely Tiam must have slaughtered the beasts. For she would never be able to so something like that. Tiam watched as Rachell bent down and removed something from around the neck of one of the beasts. Then she walked over to one of the others laying on the ground and removed something from his belt and stuck it in her leather pouch. Walking back to Tiam she held out her hand .. it looked so small and fragile as she held out a heavy collar that she had taken from the first Kobold.
 
“Its just as I thought These Kobolds where raised and bred for fighting in arenas. This is a symbol of a great house there handlers must live in the village and if any of them survived this which is unlikely they may have gone to the town in search of them. But from the sounds I just heard one of them was alive and they left in quite the hurry so I am certain we will see the owner of these creatures soon enough.” Tiam helped her down form where she was and began to move bodied here and there and even torched the old feasting carcass that was left. The smell almost evaporating with it. The sounds of hoof beats can be heard echoing into the cave as the three brothers came upon the entrance.

Travis was the first to dismount the horses whined in complaint of going any further near the cave Tiams stink and aura frightening them. Expertly he examined the front of the cave and smiled at what he found he looked at his brother and took out his bow smiling as he has done in the past when hunting big game. The other two smiled with him and gathered there things and prepared for a fight. The three of them then began to enter the cave as mudclaws lead the way.

Tiams head snapped up and he looked to the entrance growling a soft warning to Rachell. “They come and there is three of them…. Its .. it’s the fools that attacked me at the tavern.” He laughed mentally the sound echoing in her mind almost relaxing her.

“It appears you where right little one the bar keep set us up after all oh how I am going to enjoy terrorizing that town and suppressing them.” he shift his body and hid amongst the rocks up on a ledge and waited for the men to enter the cave tucking Rachell behind him. For these are trained men no matter how good she may react they have experience like him and this is a battle he must fight by himself.
 
Rachell heard the men as well as they entered the cavern.. she heard Taim's voice echoing in her head as he tucked her behind him. Tiam suddenly stopped .. his hands going to his ears .. a horrendous noise like the sound of nails on a black board but 10 times louder echoed in his brain. Even with the collar he couldn't hear Rachells thoughts at that moment... perhaps she couldn't hear her own.

When Tiam turned around to check on Rachell she was gone... as Taim turned back to the entrance to the cave he saw Rachell between him and the men.. her hands where down at her sides in a defenseless position. then he heard her soft voice as she called to the men. " Help, Help save me... it's just me the dragon is dead" as she continued to walk towards the men.

The men looked at the small girl as she walked towards them.. they looked around and seeing nothing they laughed amongst themselves and harnessed there weapons. The leader shouted out " hahaha sure girlie we will help you.. we where looking to have fun with the dragon but seeing as he's gone we will just have to have fun with you." As they advanced into the cave.
 
Not even waiting for the men to get any closer to her he snuck behind them as they circled her smiling and talking more about the thought of having her please them. Tiam stifled growl after growl as he heard them talk to her like she was theirs.

“she is mine and mine alone I will not let you touch her. She is my pet my slave.” these thoughts burned in his head until he was fully behind them and took his true form towering over them and there naked bodies his bulky body blocking out most of the light and his wings spread wide the fading sun filtering what was left making the light change red his fury can be heard all the way to the village as he roared at the three men naked around her.

His thoughts touched them all as he spoke “ SHE IS MINE AND SHE WILL NEVER BE YOURS!!” his fury held no bond as he threw the men about the cave like cats do with mice not giving any even a second as they tried to escape him. One of them even got the horse and tried to flee but they couldn’t move fast enough Tiam sped after them not even having to fly as he over took the horse clamping his mighty jaw down on the beast. Tossing it up the man having fallen off before this.

“she will never be yours.” Rachell saw as Tiam then threw the man up and in one snap of his jaw the man was gone. Tiam then dragged the dead horse and brought it into the cave his fury still pulsating through him. He left it to the side with the dead men striping them of everything they have and setting it aside to stash letter for the start of his new horde of wealth. Once done he tried to transform into a human but only managed to become bi peddle. Not caring he advanced on Rachell and her partially nude body and lifted her up by the arms using his tail and he brought her further into the cave until he found where the kobolds where sleeping keeping his hold he gather enough material to make a make shift bed and turned his body but not his tail to the girl he has entwined in them.

“Don’t you ever do that again.” not even waiting for a reply he stripped her carefully as to not damage her clothes but none the less he wanted her naked and exposed except for the collar. He then gripped her breast in his clawed scaly hand and squeezed them and continued to fondle her body as he had did the first night but this time he was much more rough since his body was seething with anger. He kissed and bit her neck not caring if he drew blood or not and he continued this until he was satisfied with himself and dropped her onto the makeshift bed. Not wanting her to go to far he pressed his knees down on her legs as he drew himself out and brought his tail up from behind him.

“This time I will claim every inch and part of your body as mine.” he began to rub his tail along her exposed puffy lips until it was well lubricated and even penetrated her with it pulsating it into her body holding her arms down hearing every no and moan as he took her. Not caring for her struggles even if she is elven she isn’t a match for a dragon this close and already pinned. Soon he took it out and drove it in her lower hole as he plunged his prick right into her body both holes stretching wide as he claimed and violated her body. Tiam sneer and grunted only a little as he pounded her soft flesh making her whole body jolt with each thrust. He savored the tears that rolled down her cheek as he leaned down to talk to her his voice very deep and held the edge of a growl with each note.

“You are mine and you will listen to me. You will never do that again you hear me. I saved you from that home and that women that hated you for your beauty I savor that beauty and crave it. I want you to flourish in my care but I can’t let you make foolish mistakes like that again.” He drove himself harder and faster into her body his tail and dick working in opposite one in and one out and repeating this time he was close to the edge of his orgasm but he didn’t stop till he her heard scream hers first and felt her cum gush against his dick and then he let his seed flow into her body and deep into her unprotected womb.
 
Rachell was in the mists of one of her blackouts when her vision cleared she found herself surrounded by the three men for town. They where laughing and undoing there belts.. Rachell was filled with fear as they started tugging on her cloths. But she heard Tiam moving around behind them. She always had a keen sense of hearing. Sometimes it would seem like she could even hear them talking inside there own heads with out moving there lips. That woman that called herself Rachells mother used to yell at her and keep telling the girl to stay out of her head. She never knew why the woman would get so upset.. couldn't everybody hear what she heard?

Rachell didn't even bat an eye when Tiam swooped down and took the three men in his tail just about slicing them in half. When Tiam had finished with the three men he turned his attention on Rachell. She saw the anger in his eyes as they flashed towards her.. she didnt even know why he was mad at her as he scooped her up and dragged her deep into the cave.

She screamed as he squeezed her with his huge tail wrapping it around her ... his hands and tail seemed to be everywhere.. sliding up under her skirt and over her body... her little body shook under him as he removed her cloths.. he was so much bigger and stronger then the night before.. and he was so rough with her tiny body she thought he was going to rip her inside out. She was helpless as he took her his huge dragon cock ripping into her tiny pussy as his tail attacked her ass .. both thrusting in and out showing her tiny body no mercy.she screamed and begged him to stop that he was hurting her .. but he just kept on until the anger started to subside.. He forced her body to cum over and over again until he finally gave one last thrust and his seed pumped into her filling her with so much dragon cum that her tiny pussy couldn't contain it as it leaked from her pussy and dripped down her silky legs.
 
Fully satisfied and his rage subsiding he realized she had a momentary black out where her inner being acted out in defense of her well being. Not caring much about this knowing he will show her how to get even that under control her finished his transformation into human form and laid down next to her body and pulled her close to him possessively as he slept. Not long into the night Tiam woke to hear echoing in the cave small animals by the sound of it probly drawn to the smell of fresh meat. not caring once having identified the source of the noise he got up and began to explore every inch of the cave and found a perfect place to stash his horde carefully he lined up the first of his new treasures and took the spell book back to where him and Rachell slept. He will teach her magic though whether she chooses the dark path like him or the light side either way he will keep her and teach her.

“She belongs to me.” he said this out loud hoping not to wake her. “I… I love her..” He stopped after he said that and looked into a small fresh pool of water not far from where they slept possibly filled and cleansed by and underground source. Since he felt no magic from it. Staring at his reflection he thought about that. What he didn’t know was Rachell was awake the min he stirred for she too heard the sounds of the wolves tearing and fighting over the food left at the edge of the cave and she also heard what Tiam had just said. Tiam not knowing what love is couldn’t help but wonder about this feeling he wanted to keep her protect her and just take care of her. It was no different than he already felt but he felt his heart speed just a little when he looked back at the bed and when he thought back to earlier his blood almost boiled but he calmed it down himself down fast enough so he wouldn’t go out of control.

Slowly Tiam went back to the mat and blanket they where sharing and cuddles his body close to her again this time he held her softer but more firm cradling her body against his. Not caring if this feeling has anything to do with the silver dragon half of who he is. Tiam planned to enjoy this feeling since it was the only thing besides gold and objects that made him happy. Maybe tomorrow he will tell her more about himself he though as he drifted back into a more pleasant slumber.
 
Rachell woke to the noses in the cave, in the dark she saw Tiam moving around the cave muttering to himself in a low tone. she could hear every hushed tone. Rachell was still young both in terms of a human or an elf. Her inner being was going through may changes that if she where an elf back in the elf village they would have may herbs and healers to help her through this change. She would be plagued by vivid dreams some of them nice but many more where disturbing in her young mind. Sometimes after some of the dreams she would awake in strange places and have no recollection of how she got there or why. Once about a month ago she had awoken to find herself completely naked in that same cemetery that Tiam had found her in yesterday. She had no recollection of her life before the past two years. But during those two years the blackouts where coming more and more often. Like the blackout she had earlier that night when she awoke to find herself standing in front of those men.

As she laid quietly watching and listening to Tiam her body felt sore and weak like she was being drained. When he came back to the bed she moved her body closer to him thankful for the heat.. but a chill was still coming over her it seemed to be draining all her energy.
 
Slowly Tiam began to awake still gently clutching Rachell. He knew something was happening with her and he wants to fix it but even though he has lived amongst the elves he never knew anything about the right of passage rituals or anything close to that. His thought went back to the book he was given when he lived amongst them that told of must of there secrets but it was taken from him along with so many other treasure. Tiam sighed then felt something buzzing in the back of his mind. Looking up towards the entrance to the room Tiam could not help but snake his way from the bed and to the front of the cave and he saw another red dragon fly over head but this was no ordinary it was one of the ones that attacked him so long ago. Tiam grinned with sickening pleasure at what he will do to that red dragon before taking everything he has and make it his. The dragon landed near the town after flying past it a few times frightening the villagers Tiam watched as he turned into a dark mage and on its hip he saw something.

“That’s my book. That is my book.” Tiam almost couldn’t realize his luck and rushed back to Rachell side seeing her look weak and sick worry spread across his face as he saw her and carefully wrapped more blankets around her to keep her warm as she looked up at him.

“Rachell I have a way .. I hope I have a way that can make you better but you need to promise me please you will stay here where your safe.” his eyes held a plea in them as he finished wrapping her in the war furs. He waited and slowly she nodded probably to weak to move anyways. Then Tiam rushed out and shifted leaping into the air darting after the red that dared to enter his newly claimed territory. And he landed not to far from where he did and bellowed.

Kaluga was just your average male red looking to expand his terrify but what he didn’t know is that after taking up new residence in the area he would bump into the dragon he came close to killing so long ago taking more than half of his horde as his and all of the magical things in it. Granted he had to kill few of the younger ones to make his point but that’s just how things are your weak you die he never argued with it and nor did he care. He watched the faces of the towns people flee in terror of him as he approached but what he didn’t expect was to hear let alone see the familiar roar of the dragon he humiliated.

“Well well well if it isn’t little Tiam I thought you died whelp. it’s a pity but before I take this town I will make sure you do die this time.” he turned and he shot a ice arrow at Tiam using magic. Bashing it with his wings he roar again as he took his human form pulling his black robe that Rachell saw him in around his body wishing he had his red one but since it was not enchanted he could not pull it out of the separate space most of his enchanted clothes are kept and he stood at the ready for Kaluga’s’ next spell.

Not wasting time the other dragon shot multiple magic missiles each would home in on his location until they reach there limits or they hit him. Tiam shot his own but was able to shot two more but those weren’t normal one they where sensors he learned to imbue just enough energy in them to find the dead and what lock near the town there are plenty of dead bears and wolves buried under the ground. Tiam smiled at this undead beast or more easier to control than humanoids now if Tiam can get close enough he can easily raise them and this battle will be all but over.

The two kept each changing spell for spell as Tiam start to circle him putting the town behind him. Having more than enough magical energy having not been in a real wizard duel in much longer than his opponent.

“Your weak Kaluga and you know what happen to weak dragons… they die but unfortunately for you I know more about death than you.” As Tiam spook his last words he raised the animals from their graves each clawing and biting there way to the surface as the gathered around him protectively “I study what must dragons fear death and the undead. I can control any manor of undead being from a ghost to as powerful as a lich. You tell me what I want to know whether it be by choice or through your dead corpse I don’t care which.” He signaled for the beast to attack and they swarmed the dragon. Tired and warn out Kaluga made the mistake to change to his true form as the beast approach him and roared in agony as they tore are hit for there claws where no longer just harmless tools that cant harm a dragons scales but imbued magic weapons created by the draconic necromancer that slowly approached him. The battle over the undead being left to clean the bones and drag the body to rest with them in the ground Tiam claim what was his. The magic in the book hummed as its true master held it once more. Before the town could even thank him having watched it all Tiam raced back to the cave to the one he loves to aid her.
 
Rachell woke as Tiam was wrapping her in blankets... he didn't hear her soft moans of protest as he was distracted by a noise from outside. As soon as he left she kicked the blankets off.. her skin was burning with fever while her inner core was freezing.. the two, hot and cold where battling within her body as they both where trying to claim her.

Rachell thought she must be coming down with some kind of cold or flu. Her body felt weak .. it hurt just to move. but she figured that was from last night as Tiam was pretty rough with her. Remembering she had seen some junk left by the Kobold back near there nest she made her way back there.. while she was looking around she saw an old beat up iron pot and what appeared to be some old cooking utensils. Then she asked herself,"what now?" Just then she heard some noise coming from one of the walls in the cave. as she went over she laid her hand against the wall and could feel some thing vibrating through the wall.

She squatted down and took one of the utensils and scratched at the ground.. the ground grew wet where she had scratched.. as she dug deeper a small puddle started to form. The wall had an underground stream running through it.

As she started to fill the pot she had collected from the Kobold camp she heard a noise behind her.. Turning she saw a huge wolf 5 times the size that his descendants would become. The wolf looked at tiny Rachell crouched down in front of him he lowered his head and his tail went down.. but it didn't go between his legs he still had his pride.

"Aww whats the matter boy you thirsty too" she said to the wolf. Then she turned around and scooped some of the water in her hands and held it out to the wolf. Now here was this tiny girl squatting down holding her hands out to the wolf. He could have easily eaten her and used the water to wash it down with, but instead he just started lapping at the water in her hands greedily.
When he was done he looked up at Rachell, his eyes where shinning, his tongue hanging out panting much like a domesticated dog would when he greets his master.

After a few moments Rachell and the wolf where back at the fire Tiam had left .. the water was brewing. Rachell had picked up a few herbs she found on the way when her and Tiam had first come to the cave and now she sat in front of the pot and using her dagger was peeling so of the bark from one of the herbs and letting it fall into the pot.

When Rachell looked up the wolf was gone, only to return a short time later with two dead rabbits in his mouth. "Good boy," Rachell said petting his fur and ruffling it playfully. As Rachell was preparing the rabbits for the fire the wolf came over and started to nudge her hand. " What is it boy?" The wolf pushed something into Rachells hand. Rachell looked down at her hand it was some kind of herb that Rachell had never seen before. She wrinkled her nose .. it smelt kind of funny .. kind of mediciney. The wolf kept walking from Rachell and over to the pot and back again, each time nudging her hand with is muzzle.

"Naa i don't think this goes in the pot." she said sniffing it again. But the wolf wouldn't take no for an answer, he went over and gently took the herb from her hand with his mouth and prancing over to the pot looked back at her as he opened his mouth and let the herb fall in it ... Laughing " All right boy i guess it goes in the pot" she shook her head still laughing at him.

A short time later they where resting by the fire, the rabbits where cooking and the tea was brewing when suddenly the wolf let out a deep growl he had heard something, Rachell had heard it too. It was Tiam returning. As Tiam walked into the cave Rachell shot up and practically jumped on the wolves back her arms going around its neck. Her emerald green eyes now glowing and she actually " Hissed" at Tiam... her mouth was full of razor sharp teeth... then in a split second she looked her normal self and in her soft voice she said, "Please dont hurt him.. he's here to help me..," then she added, "us"
 
Tiam stared at the large wolf growling protectivly at him. He raised an eyebrow when Rachell hissed at him. Slowly his mind clicked he knew what manner of elf she is. She is a rider and her own magic called to the wolf bring him here probly from the woods a few leages away from here. He then contiued to stare at the wolf realising this noting that he is not yet fully grown nor has he reached his full height but he is close at least he belived it to be male.

"Rachell I see u got yourself someone else to keep u safe while I was out." He couldn't help but smile as he noticed the cook fire but frowned when he saw the smoke collecting at the top of the cave. Not wasting time and cot caring if the wolf gets frieghtened he shifted to full form and climbed the wall and punched a large hole into the top of the cave the smoke not even bothing him and quickly the cave cleared. He shifted as he twisted landing on his two human feet. He helded up the book.

"This book was given to me by a elven queen and it has all the books inscribed in it in cluding what may be wrong with u and how to make it better." He carefully sat down near her as he ruffled the wolfs fur as it quieted not even caring what he did earlier. Opening the book he began to read as Rachell looked over his shoulder and even the wolf peered at the book as he flipped the pages. He couldn't help but smile.
 
The wolf didn't even flinch when Tiam changed shape he just held his ground.

As Tiam settled in front of the fire Rachell went about serving the rabbits setting three plates she had found back at the Kobolds camp.. Once served she poured some of the tea in two old cups and passed one of them over to Tiam .. not knowing if he would want it .. it smelled kind of mediciney... looking over at the wolf and making a face.

She sat by Tiam who was thumbing through the old book. She looked surprised when he talked about an elven queen. " wow you mean you actually knew an elf?" she asked. And then she went on .. "but i doubt there's anything im that book for me, i'm sure i'm just coming down with a little cold .. ill be alright" . The wolf that was laying down by Rachells side gave a small little whine and put his head down on his paws .. giving Rachell those big puppy dog eyes as they went from Rachell to Tiam and back to Rachell again. Rachell had just been picking at the food but she had had two cups of the tea and was working on the third and the color was already starting to come back to her cheeks. " awww whats the matter Sam? you still hungry" she pushed the rest of her plate over to the wolf, but what Rachell hadn't even realized she had called the wolf by name.
 
Tiam didn't even phase when she gave the wolf a name as he came across her race in the book. His eyes flickered a smile as he began to read the section. His eyes skimming the pages rapidly taking in every note letter and symbol. Sighing he went over to the tea pot and breathed in gently and looked at the wolf chuckling.

"Well my little one what's wrong is in fact in this book. For you are no ordinary elf. Your an off shoot of a night elf but your kin lives and resides in the plains and instead of rising great cats that are bulit for trees and flexability they ride wolves strong and swift and made for running in open field. It also says your going through a special moment in ur life where ur body will feel like its sick when in fact its taking its last shape kinda like puberty. If I'm not mistaken Sam here is your wolf. Something must have happened and u lost most of ur memory and you ended up with that women. No wonder she was cuel to you. Her husband must have came across you when u where younger when what ever happened happened. But with this tea your wolf helpped u make should ease the pain. But you will get cold sweats and slight nause hence the small apatite." Snapping the book shut he looked at her and helpped himself to seconds of the food. Before giving what was left to Sam thinking about how worried this animal must have been and frantic trying to find her before turning his attention back to Rachell wondering how she is taking this.
 
When Tiam had finished Rachell jumped up and said " I'm not no elf .. i'm a human.. i dont know the first thing about elves," Putting her hands on her small hips as if to accentuate this.

Then turning to the wolf "Sam?" The wolf lifted his head hearing his name.. then put it back down letting out a slight whimper seeing the confusion on Rachell's face.

In fact, unknown to her, it was her wolf Samurai who she used to call Sam before she lost her memory
 
"I can understand your confusion and frustration but if that is true why would this wolf be here with you right now. If he was a real wild wolf he never would have come near us. But he isn't he is something different and he has been looking for you for a long time. Plus it would also explain your black outs and random mood swings. Also if you where not an elf you would not be on your sixth cup of this tea that is suppose to help you." Tiam looked at her now as Rachell had poured herself the last of the tea staring frustrated at him and what he said. even glaring at him. not really caring cause Tiam knew he was right as he looked at her.

"Besides if you where human than why is your skin a richer color than theirs and your hair softer and much more richer. also your ears the biggest give away to what you are. Rachell please just calm down and hear me out ok. If you are not an elf then tonight as you sleep you won't have a brief dream about your future and the things that may or may not occur. along with the man that will give you children or what your children will look like. cause the Tea you are drinking will do just that after soothing your body. Plus the following morning you will have cold sweats and will need lots of food. If none of that happens then you are not an elf and I will leave it alone." Tiam was now standing up and was looking down into her eyes sternly. he kept her gaze for quite sometime as the seconds went by.

"look its late and we should get some sleep. tomorrow we will head back to town and gather things needed for our home like a proper bed amongst other things." He said this softly as he began to head to the sleeping mats. "just come to bed and we can talk about this in the morning ok." Pulling the blankets over him leaving enough room for her and even the wolf to climb into the bed Tiam laid his body down and rested. As he waited for them to come to bed.
 
Rachell looked down at the cup in her hands.. then back up at Tiam, it was obvious from the look on her face that she wasn't ready to accept that she could be an elf ... as far as she was concerned she was a human. Perhaps smaller and more fragile looking but the woman that she had called her mother had told her that was cause she was sick when she was younger.

Her hands shot up to her hair making sure here ears where covered... as she hissed a little, unknown to her, then she said,"I'm not an elf! my mother told me i was deformed and that i should never let anyone see my ears or they would all make fun of me and tease me" Then she added in a huff very typical of a girl her age, " fine, fine then we shall go to sleep but im not going to have any dreams."

Still upset Rachell climbed under the firs next to Tiam .. just then Sam jumped into the middle and playfully wrestled Tiam as he tried to lay between them .. finally Sam took up a spot on the other side of Rachell his fur acting to keep her warm.
 
Tiam just laughed at how cute she looked frustrated as he watched her climb into bed. He even enjoyed wrestling with the large wolf winning over his spot behind Rachell holding her close as Sam got on her other side with a huff. Tiam smiled as he slowly began to drift to sleep after drinking some of the tea letting his mind go at ease. As the tea and the dreams took him away.

His dreams where pleasant and mostly just dreams but then something stronger tugged at him and he saw a sight he has not seen in years, his mother. In his sleep a tear can be seen rolling down his cheek. He looked away from the female dragon not wanting to show what his heart felt.

“hello mother…its been some time. I am surprised you found me after what happened.” Tiam kept his head down as he kept speaking to her. His mother only smiled and put something at his feet. It was a small box it wasn’t all that fancy nor was it plain. Carefully Tiam looked at then at his mother whom shifted into a beautiful elven women and she walked over to him and hugged him and Tiam cried.

When he woke the box was at his side of the bed and the pillow he was sleeping on was wet. Knowing he will have to tell Rachell about his dream and his past once she woke he turned his attention to the box and slowly opened it and saw something he never thought he would see. In the box where clothes enchanted by the looks of them but they seemed to not be made for him but for someone else. Knowing what his mother wanted and knowing where they came from he closed the lid and waited for Rachell to wake up.
 
Rachell tossed and turned most of the night .. being so small Tiam slept soundly by her side.. but it wasn't lost on Sam as the big wolf looked over his little owner.. Having lost her once he wasn't letting her out of his sight. Sam watched as Rachell got up in the middle of the night ... her normal green eyes had gone completely black. He fallowed her as she moved around the cave and then fallowed her as she walked out to the mouth of the cave.. she just stood there staring up at the mountains in the distance. The wolf looked and he could see a distant glow shinning from the other side of the mountains but it was so bright it lit up the sky. The wolf cocked his ears as Rachell started mumbling as if she was talking to somebody .. but even with the wolves keen sense of hearing there was nothing to be heard except other animals in the distance. Sam was just about to go back and wake Tiam when Rachell turned and walked back into the cave. Sam watched over Rachell for the rest of the night.. he was a wake when the beautiful elven lady came and placed a box on Tiams pillow. Sam just lowered his head in greeting but remained quiet .. the the lady walked over to where Rachell was laying and reached out and touched the girls face ... her hand the same creamy smooth complexion as Rachells. The woman sighed as she looked at the sleeping girl and softly whispered " you turned out beautiful" .. as Rachell sighed at the same time in her sleep. The woman turned and smiled at Sam and said " i'm glad you found her again we where worried about you two" and then she was gone.
 
Seeing how that Rachell is not waking up any time soon Tiam got out of bed to start breakfast. Going over to where he put the spoils of his fight with the three men he grabbed the bow and a few arrows along with a pouch for any berries and herbs he may find. He looked at Sam as he walked back through the room and simply looked at Rachell and a silent understanding went through them as he left to go get breakfast. A few minutes passed before he came across a small flock of wild chickens almost the size of turkeys. Thinking it may be a better idea to capture and tame some of the beast so they have a steady supply of eggs he carefully setup of a few traps and left small enchantments that would notify him if anything is caught. Continuing on after that he came across a boar and the big burly thing looked him right in the eye before charging him thrashing its tusk about trying to gore Tiam, but Tiam was to quick and rolled out the way and fired the few arrows he had and the boar fell. Claiming his prize Tiam lifted up the dead pig and began to head back with the spoils of his hunt finding a seeding strawberry bush near the mouth of his cave along with a few vegetables. Not believing his luck he gathered the seeds and food and brought them into the cave.

He organized everything and brought the pig somewhere into the cave a drained the blood into the dirt the began to carve the meat leaving the organs that Rachell couldn’t eat off to the side for Sam.

“Either we have been blessed by someone or I just happen to have amazing luck today.” Tiam said with a small smile and soon started a cook fire in what is now the common room of there den. The cave itself being plenty big enough to house the chickens he planes on capturing and even a place to grow a garden in the same room being there is no ceiling in that part of the cave and there is a small lake near that section of the cave as well with fresh fish coming and going as they please. Tiams smile hasn’t faltered once since waking this morning as he continued to wait for the first signs of Rachell stirring hoping the smell of warm food would wake her.
 
Rachell woke and two things hit her.. food.. and that she was alone in the bed. She sat up .. she was still weak but not nearly as weak as she was yesterday when she woke up.. pulling one of the firs around her she was still cold but not icy cold and her body didn't seem to be fighting the hot and cold at the same time. A few seconds later a huge tongue was licking her face .. she giggled the more she giggled the more Sam licked her face .." awww gawddd Sam, knock that off," she said laughing. Sam had been busy fallowing Tiam around the cave wagging his tail and nudging him every once in awhile looking for pets, but as soon as he heard Rachell string he trodded happily over to her.

"mmm whatcha cooking?" she asked Tiam as she came over to the fire the fir still wrapped around her slender body.
