text: You run up the stairs and see some man holding Kai by the arm. "So you found your dragon, but that was not my true intention. Getting the princess was." That voice was very familiar. Then it came to you.
  
  "It's been along time Quon."
  
  "You remember me. How sweet."
  
  "Let her go."
  
  "I'd like to see you make me."
  
  "Okay." You swing your sword at his head and he ducks letting go of Kai. She grabs her fallen blade and goes on the offense. Swing after swing she goes at Quon with. He blocks or dodges every blow she tries. You go at him with your blade and he cuts your thigh. You fall holding it. Then he swings and nails the hilt of his blade into Kai's temple. She collapses to the ground. "You've failed Zaron. Your quest was successful, but your mission was in vain." A black shape came from above. It was Calivir. The blood surrounding you makes your vision blurry and you black out.
  
  You wake up to see Redscale hovering over you. "You have waken. Where is your friend?"
  
  You look at your leg. It has clotted up and stopped bleeding. "I'm such a fool. Why has that thought not occurred to me?"
  
  "Not everyone can predict what will happen."
  
  He comes over and breathes on your leg. It starts to heal to a scar and finally to nothing. That get's you shocked.
  
  "When did you learn to do that?"
  
  "People don't know everything about dragons. Many known facts on dragons are complete lies."
  
  You look at the sky. "Where do we go from here?"
  
  "We go back to Aravon or go for the rescue."
  
  > rescue Kai
  "She helped me rescue you, so it's time to return the favor."
  
  You get on Redscale's back. It felt prickly under you. You hold on to a spike that bunches ran down his back. "Run toward the horses." He flaps his giant wings and is up several thousand feet in a matter of minutes. You aren't afraid because you became used to it from a very young age. He heads in the direction your horses are. They were grazing and drinking from a stream. They scuttle away from Redscale as he lands. " So I fly above and scout the area."
  
  "Tomorrow. We are gonna need rest and night is almost upon us. Plus we are gonna need to talk."
  
  He gets into a comfortable resting position. "Okay. What's on your mind?"
  
  "Does the name Calivir sound familiar."
  
  "Yes, that's my father's name."
  
  "He's working with Quon."
  
  "That's impossible!"
  
  "I saw him!"
  
  "What color are his scales?"
  
  "Black."
  
  He looks down. "Only someone can remember a dragon's scale color once if he's seen it."
  
  "So you believe me?"
  
  "Yes." You two rest for the night. You know where to look first: Quon's old training grounds.
  
  > Quon's Old Training Place
  You woke early in the morning to see Redscale looking at the sunrise. "Beautiful. Isn't it?"
  
  You look to see swirling colors of yellow, orange and a light red color of the rising sun. "Might be the most beautiful sunrise I've ever seen."
  
  "Where we going today?"
  
  "Quon's training grounds."
  
  "We're rescuing the girl?"
  
  "Yes. Either we'll save her or die trying."
  
  "Why are we going there?"
  
  "Its the only lead we've got. Do you know where Igor's Tower is?"
  
  "No..."
  
  "Then that's where we check first. Fly above and keep watch for any guards, students, or demons of his."
  
  "What of father."
  
  "I couldn't beat him, but if you see Calivir you land at once! We need each other to finish this once and for all!!"
  
  "Understood." He takes off and soars above to keep watch over the land.
  
  You arrive there in two days ride on your horses. It was once a plush place filled with flowers and life of all kinds. Now the place was a dead forest. No plants grew there and as your eyes could see there's no animal life. Redscale lands next to you. There stood the castle of Quon. Once a mighty place was now a former look of its former appearance. A destroyed castle. "Let's go."
  
  You ride to the former castle. You look around for any sign of Quon. No luck. Redscale sniffs the air around here. "They were hear alright. Maybe four hours at best."
  
  "Good going. Any sign of Kai?"
  
  "She's here."
  
  "Now?"
  
  "Yes."
  
  "Anyone else?"
  
  He had a sad face. "Father's here too. Demons of all kinds too."
  
  "We're going in. I know how hard it is to fight someone you love. I felt like Quon is my father, but now I lost that love. I feel as if something is not right in there." You walk in on Redscale's back. You see demons, but all they do is sneer and jeer at you. "They don't stop us. Why?"
  
  "They want us to see what's in here. Let's go to the throne room." Redscale responds.
  
  We go to the court room and there you beheld a sight you may never forget. Kai and Calivir was there.
  
  "About time you got here. I see you rescued Redscale." Calivir sighs.
  
  "What's the meaning of this father?"
  
  "I work with Quon."
  
  "WHY!!!" Redscale roars.
  
  "To save you from this human who calls you his "brother"." Calivir says calmly. Kai comes at you blade drawn. You get off his back with your sword drawn.
  
  "She's being controlled."
  
  Redscale looks at me then snaps his head back. "I'll never forgive you!"
  
  "I'm trying to save YOU!" he shouts angrily shaking the room.
  
  "I'm not asking to be saved. I DO think of him as my brother. We know how the other feels and thinks. We came for the girl. Give her to us."
  
  "I'm afraid I can't do that."
  
  "Why?"
  
  "She is under Quon's control. The only known way to break it is death."
  
  "Zaron, take on Kai. I'll deal with Calivir." That's the first time you heard him say him by name.
  
  "Kai, I'll make sure you won't die. Redscale, take on Calivir."
  
  "Got it." His let's an inferno of flame at Calivir. The fight is on.
  
  > Two Allies Fight
  Forgive me Kai. I'll break this spell without killing you, you think as you go in. She cuts and hacks at you without stopping . Each cut is blocked though you must get on the offense. But how, you say to yourself deflecting a thrust. You could block or go on the offensive on your next move, but what would be the consquenses.
  
  > Offensive
  You go on the offensive. You can't stay on defensive forever, so after her last blow you attack. Blow after blow you drive her back. Redscale battles his father and by the looks of it is winning. You let your guard down for a moment to get a cut in the arm. Damn, you say to yourself. You then recall leaving your shield with Amin. you block another one and respond with an overhand cut. She deflects it. You see an opening and leap on her . Both of you hit the ground with a THUD. Both of your swords slid on the ground beyond reach. She keeps on hitting you and you refuse to fight.
  
  "Fight me." she says punching you in the face.
  
  "N-n-n-no..." you say as you fall to your side.
  
  "WHY?!?" she screams.
  
  "Your my f-f-friend..."
  
  "Even friends fight."
  
  You stand up to see her in a fighting stance. "Not like this... friends fight... but not like this."
  
  You shook your head. "Kai, are you happy? Do your parents condone this. Strike me down. If it makes you happy, then I'm happy." You smile.
  
  Something is different now. An opening has been made. You take a chance and throw her on the ground. You reach for your blade with her coming at you. You trip her and keep her grounded by your knees pinning her to it. I hope this works. You grab the hilt and put the jewel to her forehead.
  
  > break the spell
  The sword and jewel light up. She stops struggling and looks at you. "Why am I on the ground?" she asks. You lift her up and don't answer. All you do is hug her.
  
  "I'm glad you're back."
  
  "Where was I?"
  
  "Gone. But I found you again." She hugs you back and you feel that she's smiling. You know you will win this fight now.
  
  You turn to see Redscale losing the fight. Claws and fangs were attacking him from each side. You turn to Kai. "Let's help him."
  
  "Come on." And you charge together.
  
  > Battle Calivir
  You get in between the recovering Redscale and the towering Calivir. "This ends here." Calivir merely laughs. He swings a claw at you and you roll out of its path. Redscale trys to stand but falls down.
  
  "You are no match for me. You know of my kingship." You don't answer and aim for one of his legs. He flaps his wings and goes airborne. Kai goes and tends to Redscale. Calivir looks at her and aims a jet of fire at her. Redscale attempts to rise his head to shoot fire back but his head falls back down. "KAI!" you yell. Your sword all of a sudden blazes up with fire along the blade. You don't stare at it for long and aim it at the fire shooting at your friends. It goes and the fires collide. You move in the direction that Calivir's fire is. You align yourself with Calivir and wait.
  
  "So you learn some new tricks. Big deal." He looks at you. "You're more powerful, but it won't save you," Redscale recovers and is behind you within a second. Kai follows shortly.
  
  "You're right. It won't. But I've got friends to help me. We become strong if we're willing to save each other in our darkest moments. I now realize it. But we will finish it now." You smile at them. Kai returns it but Redscale doesn't. He looks at you.
  
  Can you hear me. That's Redscale's voice in your head.
  
  Redscale, you think.
  
  Yes. You can hear my thoughts and I yours. You have awakened your true power. Now let's use it.
  
  How? you ask.
  
  By protecting those you care for.
  
  I must protect them. This isn't our battle anymore: it will determine the fate of Varon. We must win!
  
  You focus all your energy to fighting Calivir. Your attacks become lightning fast. Calivir has no time to block them and soon falls from the small wounds you gave him. Not enough to kill but make him unable to fight.
  
  "So this is how it ends, huh."
  
  "Redscale, you decide your father's fate." Redscale comes over and you see his wounds were all gone.
  
  "I've decided to spare you. Though if you intervene again I'll have no choice but to end you."
  
  "Why?"
  
  "You are my father, but tell me why you joined Quon."
  
  Calivir has the pain in his eyes like in the cave. "I was a fool. He promised me I'd win my son's heart over Zaron. I bought into his lies and lost what I wanted most; your love."
  
  "I always have loved you."
  
  "Then why did you never visit me? I'd lost hope and my heart became bitter. I'd lost the wisdom that dragons poccess. All to that I'd thought you've forgot me, but my guess is you never had."
  
  "Dragons never forget their relatives."
  
  "Well since I'm not making it back you have a job." Redscale looked confused. "Since I'm no longer able to be King of Dragons it is now your job. Rule over us with pride son. And may I speak with you Zaron." You walk up to him and kneel by his head. "Forgive me for my blindness. I never saw what Redscale meant until now. Take care of Redscale. For... without him... you'll find out life is... hardly work living... at all."
  
  Redscale comes over and says to Kai and you, "He may not have been perfect but nor is anyone else. He was a confused and saddened dragon. But in the end he was a hero. As the new king I must go announce my father's death and claim my right as king. Are you two coming?"
  
  "I am." you announce.
  
  He looks at Kai. She sighs and says, "I'm coming. Though know now that I am the princess of Varon and the dragons have never been fond of us. Since the war five hundred years ago we've managed to get along, though never really made up for it."
  
  Redscale says, "I forgive your people for your past deeds. What happened then can be fixed by YOU. Zaron and Kai; you are now official representatives of the human race. Do you accept?"
  
  You answer for you two, "We do. But what of our horses?"
  
  "You must sell them. Grab your shields and some food."
  
  You nod and grab the shields and food. You then sell your horses to a traveling trader and go to the dragon's cave.
  
  > go to the Dragon's Cave
  With Calivir left in the castle you head out. Redscale gets down on his chest and you climb to grab a spike on his back to hold on to. You help Kai up and put her in front of you. "Grab a spike and hold on."
  
  Redscale gets up and asks, "Are you ready back there."
  
  We are. You decide to answer through this new telepathic communication you two share. He goes up and you head in the direction of his clan's cave.
  
  After a few hours riding on his back a new mountain range comes into view. You and Kai look down to see wildlife of all kind. Flashes of animals you see are wolves, deer, moose, birds and fish. Plants can be seen as far as the eye can see. Do you like it? Redscale asked.
  
  Its great. It looks as if no human has been here forever, you respond.
  
  No human ever has because of the dragons that live here, he says.
  
  He turns right and heads to a small cliff on one of the mountains. A big cave stood there.
  
  I can see a dragon living here.
  
  Pretty much anyone could see that. The clan would attack any human that came here without a dragon. They already saw us. So let me talk to them. Are you alright with that?
  
  Will they attack us, you ask.
  
  They may. But they usually would question a dragon. Here comes one now, he says.
  
  A big silver dragon comes out and stands between you and the entrance. You stand there unconcerned by this dragon. It looks at you and simply nods as if he approves of you. But when he turns to Kai there is a different reaction. It is of confusion and anger. It finally speaks, "Welcome to the Draco clan. Dragon, why are these humans here?" The voice of it is female. Comparing the size to Redscale its at least a few centuries old.
  
  "These are the human representatives. I'm Redscale and these are my traveling companions: my brother Zaron and Princess of Varon Kai." Redscale replies.
  
  "Your brother? This human."
  
  "Yes."
  
  "You're Calivir's son. Is Calivir among us anymore?"
  
  "Unsure. He might have passed out in our fight. He's been working with the wizard Quon."
  
  "Come." She heads in and you follow close behind Redscale.
  
  > follow the dragon.
  You head in and for about a hundred meters you can't see a thing. Kai puts her hand on yours making sure you weren't seperated from one another. You finally see a light up ahead and are amazed by what you see.
  
  There was a large hole at the top of the mountain, letting the sunlight through. Grass and flowers made the ground glow like a rainbow. Looking above, you see hundreds of caves varying in size and shape. Then dragons come of the caves and look down at the passing figures. Some gave looks of surprise, others hate, and others of happiness. You were led down another passage way to a fire lit room. Three large dragons and a small one the size of Redscale sat there. One was gold, one deep blue, another was red like Redscale, and forest green. Whoever these guys were they were expecting you.
  
  "May I introduce the three elders of the Draco clan. The gold one is Haru, the green one Mia, the red one Scaro, and the young blue one Sea. And I'm Moon," the silver dragon says. "Is there anything else you need elders?" They shake their heads and Moon leaves.
  
  Haru moves in your direction. Haru looks at Redscale and nods. "You'll be a fine dragon one day." Its voice is female. Haru then sets her eyes on Kai and you. "You two are the first humans to ever set foot in our clan's caves. We knew Redscale had a human companion, but the princess of Varon is another story. We don't have any affection for your family girl."
  
  "Do you still have a grudge against us?"
  
  The red dragon Scaro speaks up, "May we speak of the matter of why they're here Haru? I have no affection for her either, but let's hear what young Redscale has to say."
  
  Redscale goes by us and says loudly, "Dragon Circle, I bring grave news of Calivir and a request."
  
  The green dragon Mia finally speaks, "We will grant your request if its within our power, but what of Calivir?"
  
  "Calivir as you all know is king of the clan. Recently, he has been working in league with the wizard Quon. He and his demons captured me and brought me to a prison in Oscro. My companions rescued me for us turning to rescue Kai. We went to Quon's former castle to see Calivir waiting for us. He brainwashed Kai into fighting Zaron there, but he managed to break his control over her. We managed to overpower Calivir and after the battle, he named me king. I have no idea if he's still alive, but we need your help. We then had no idea for the location of Igor's Tower. We have roamed far and wide for if you don't know then no one knows." He finished the tale of your quest.
  
  Haru looks mad at Kai and says, "We can't help."
  
  That gets you mad, but your teachings taught you to be calm at all times.
  
  > Mad
  "What do you mean you can't!" you yell. Haru was surprised by your outburst.
  
  "We know the location, but won't reveal it." That get's you even angrier.
  
  Calm down, Redscale says in your mind.
  
  She is just annoying.
  
  Let me handle handle it.
  
  Fine, you grumble. You start to calm down and eventually regain your senses.
  
  > Calm
  "Dragon Circle", Redscale roars, "My father has named me the new clan king. So as the new king I order you to tell me the location of Igor's Tower."
  
  Haru sighs. "Fine. Young Sea here will take you." She motions for the young blue dragon to come over next to her. "She will take you to Igor's tower and help you end this darkness over the land. She's one of our greatest fighters and will fight to her last breath."
  
  You calmly wait for Redscale to respond. Finally he says, "What of my kingship?"
  
  Scaro replies, "You are a young king, so we will advise you until you're old enough to make your own decisions."
  
  Mai says, "You must return once you finish. Return them to the Varon capital and we will announce your new rule."
  
  "And as for you Kai." Haru swipes a claw at her. You react and block it with your shield. You draw your sword and its blade gleams with glee. Mia and Scaro moved quickly for their age between you and her. Scaro screams, "Haru! Return to your cave at once!"
  
  She prowls out with anger. You bow to the dragons. They incline your bow with a nod.
  
  Sea speaks to you three, "Let's spend the night here."
  
  > Rest.
  Both dragons fly up to Sea's cave. It was like a regular cave. Everything made of stone. The two dragons retire as Kai and you head out and sit on the edge of the cliff. Kai finally says, "Why'd you come and rescue me from Quon?"
  
  "Well I could not leave you. Why'd you not leave yet?"
  
  "I don't know why."
  
  "This place is pretty."
  
  She seems sad. You can tell by this next response, "Sure. Its really pretty..."
  
  You now are concerned about her. What could be bothering her? "What's wrong?"
  
  "When this is all over I'm gonna have to marry that creep Warren. He's three times my my age."
  
  "Do you have a choice?"
  
  "Why? They arranged this years ago."
  
  "You have a choice."
  
  "What?"
  
  "To marry someone YOU love. Not some guy they tell you to."
  
  She smiles and leans close to you. "You're right." She kisses you. You're shocked yet somehow pleased. You are close together until Redscale comes out. You both don't see him until he says, "Having fun?"
  
  Kai pulls back almost immediately. She gives you a hug and goes in the cave. "Why'd you have to ruin the moment?"
  
  "For rest."
  
  Kai is in a corner. You look in a bag you brought and hand a blanket to her. "Time to sleep." You turn and she grabs your wrist.
  
  "You are sleeping by me tonight." You nod. You fall asleep in each others arms smiling. You dream of a wonderful future you will have with her. For once in your life you feel true love.
  
  > Shocking News
  Last night is a night you'll never forget, but that's the past. Kai and you wake up early. Not that you wanted to but of the dragons making loud noises. You grab an apple from your bag and eat it. "Let's head out," you say.
  
  Mia and Scaro meet you outside of Sea's cave. Scaro whispers something to Mia and flys off. "I've got grave news my friends. Scaro was flying toward Igor's Tower to see Quon's armies marchng toward Varon. Even having the second largest army in the world Varon would be wiped out. Unless..."
  
  Kai stepped foward with determination on her face. "Unless what?"
  
  "Unless the dragons weren't mobilizing to help. We've been stuck in petty hate for years and are ready to reestablish our friendship with the Varonians. Will you help us Kai?"
  
  Kai smiled. "I will help. And when I take my father's throne you will become honored counsel members."
  
  "Thank you. Now you must go warn your father and have him mobilize your army. We will come when we are ready."
  
  Redscale comes and asks Mia, "Have you told them of the Circle's choice?"
  
  "I have."
  
  "Then go prepare. We will go visit the king." She flys off and Redscale says to you, "We are gonna need a whole lot of luck to win this."
  
  Kai laughs. "Don't worry. We have a great army in store for this. We faced threats like this before."
  
  You step in. "Come on you two. We have a job to do." Sea comes from another cave further down and comes to you.
  
  "I'm coming to." There was not any disagreements on it and Kai gets on Sea's back while you Redscale's. You head in the direction of the Varon capital Yeli.
  
  > To Warn a King
  You fly in the direction of Yeli. Yeli is the most populated city in Varon. The first wall was in your eyesight and guards see you, yet don't stop you. You head over the city and people look up. The color drains from their faces and the run in the nearest building. The castle loomed in the distance and had a second wall protecting it. "Land in by the entrance," you tell Redscale.
  
  The two dragons land by the two large doors that go into the castle. Further down guards came and surrounded you in a circle. A man in the group comes foward. He studies you and Redscale. Then looks at Sea and sees Kai on her back. That shocks him. He stammers, "W-w-what are y-y-you doing on a d-dragon?"
  
  "Captain!"
  
  "Yes."
  
  " Fetch my father. We have a horrible situation coming our way. And hurry!"
  
  "Yes mistress." And goes to get the king.
  
  The king sends you to his chambers to talk to him. He was a large man. He wore the traditional robes of the royal family. Its color was a deep saphire and gold. He looks with interest as Kai and you enter his private study. He finally talks, "You have put me in a deep issue here. Kai... you are supposed to be at Lord Warren's palace by now. He sent message that you never came."
  
  "I was ambushed and fled while my escort held this large group of bandits off. This is a discussion another time. You have a larger threat in the making."
  
  He walks around the room pondering that thought. "I see no threat large enough to be of concern."
  
  You shake your head. The king sees and asks, "Who may you be?"
  
  You respond, "The one who saved your daughter."
  
  "Why didn't my daughter return here then?"
  
  "She offered to come along in my quest to save my dragon."
  
  "I'm afraid you can't do that."
  
  "It was already done."
  
  "I thank you for saving her, but why are you still here then?"
  
  "To stop my old master Quon."
  
  "What do you mean?"
  
  Kai interrupts, "He turned evil long ago. He took control of my mind and Zaron here saved me. He made an army large enough to destroy Varon. They are coming here as we speak."
  
  "Then there's no hope."
  
  You say, "There still maybe is."
  
  "Where?"
  
  "The dragons have overcome the hate of Varon and are mobilizing to help."
  
  "Only the king can be giving that order and Calivir would never do that."
  
  You can feel the pain in his voice. "Calivir is no longer among us as we know, but his son is my brother and he issued the help of the Draco clan."
  
  "May I speak with him?" the king asks.
  
  "Follow me." All three of you head out to Redscale and Sea.
  
  > King to King
  The dragons were lying down in the courtyard where you last saw them. The king had a worried look on his face. They got up and look down on Kai's father. "You are the king I presume", Redscale asks.
  
  The king gets over his nervousness and responded, "Welcome to Yeli. What makes you come to Yeli?"
  
  "The threat of a madman's demons. We have come to aid you and the dragons will join later."
  
  "We must first come to the issue with you three now. Our army will prepare for this at once. First I've got to start with Zaron." He looks at you. "I don't agree with what daughter and you did, but it may have saved us. I will have to have a fully detailed report on what happened between the rescue of your dragon to your arrival here. Please don't lie on anything. Come to my private chambers tonight. And Kai too. Dragon, may I speak with you alone?" Redscale nods and they walk off in another direction.
  
  Kai and you walk towards her father's private chambers. You come to a door with an eagle symbol on it. You knock and a male voice answers, "Come in." You go inside the room.The king sat on his bed. It was large and had the most exspensive bedwear out in the kingdom. His look was of pain and sorrow. "Sit there", he said pointing to a pair of wooden chairs. He gets up and walks back and forth between Kai and you. "I've recieved a message from Warren asking why Kai isn't there. I responded to him of what happened to the escort and what transpired between you. He is to arrive at morning tomorrow, but what I called you here for is something to do with the marriage between Warren and you Kai."
  
  You speak up, "Why am I here sir?"
  
  "Call me Ponis. And because I have a suspicion something may have happened between you two. I'm not angry, but there may be some issue with it."
  
  Kai's body froze up. You had a similar feeling in your body. Kai recovered and was the one who spoke up for the two of you, "I'm going to have to say a kiss and a bit more. I don't think the marriage with Warren is what I want. I don't love him."
  
  "I do understand. I fell in love with someone of nonroyalty. It was your mom Kai. If you do love him I will support you."
  
  "I do."
  
  He smiled. "Then may the gods look over you two. You may go. We will talk of this tomorrow with Lord Warren." Both of you go to your bedrooms for the night.
  
  > Redscale explains
  Before you went to bed you went talk to Redscale. This power thing between Redscale and you has been something the occasion to talk of never offered till now. You went to the courtyard since there was nowhere in the palace big enough for him, so you walk up and sit next to him. Is there a problem?
  
  There is Redscale. Its the entire power that we share. One is how my sword changed its appearance and has different abilities. Also how we can talk through thinking? How is this even possible?
  
  Redscale laughs. He responds, Many people over the ages in different places had bonds like ours. We are known as Entrin by the dragons. Or in your language known as Dragon Rider. We share feelings, thoughts, and are even considered realatives by some. The bond gets so strong by a human and dragon at times that supernatural things may happen. Just like your sword for example. There are none known aside from you and me since the war between our races.
  
  Why was there a war?
  
  He looks to the night sky. You look at them with them and see thousands of little dots up there. Redscale answers, Its like those stars. Two worlds collide with different beliefs and traditions than the other. The stars represent the lives of humans and dragons. I can't say who's fault it is who started the war, but can say it killed it millions. People in and out of the war. So its just as bad. Though good came from it.
  
  What?
  
  The bonds that came between our races. It became the strongest link to connect humans and dragons, but evey person with a bond with a dragon took it very seriously. Now go rest . For you will need it for Lord Warren's arrival tomorrow. You leave Redscale and go to your room for the night.
  
  > Lord Warren's arrival
  You are dreaming of a bright future with Kai and Redscale. You are the king of Varon and are sitting at a large round table. There are knights all around it. You seee them arguing about something. A pounding starts and you jump up. "What's that?" Your knights look at you with a worried glance. One of them gets up and looks at you. The pounding resumes until everything goes dark.
  
  You launch up in your bed. You look at the door and the pounding was something from there. A voice said, "Get dressed and to the court yard." Someone left you a new outfit: a expensive silk shirt with a detailed drawing of a red dragon on it with a jacket to put over it. A pair of pants with a belt so you could have your sword with you. Finally with a pair of boots.
  
  "Nice clothing." You get dressed and strap your sword on. You head to the courtyard to await the arrival of Warren.
  
  It turns out you didn't have to wait. Ponis, Kai, and a man of sixty stood there. He had snow with hair and had a scar below his left eye. You walk up to hear him say in a raspy voice, "... but the marriage was made years ago!"
  
  Ponis repiles, "I'm sorry old friend, but she already loves a man."
  
  The man says angrily, "Who may this coward be?"
  
  This man is getting on your nerves, but you announce your presence to them, "Fair day to you three I suppose?"
  
  The man turns to you. "Who may you be?"
  
  "Zaron."
  
  He nods. "So your this Zaron character I've heard about. You love Kai I suspect?"
  
  "I do."
  
  "And you know of..."
  
  "The marriage. We talked about it."
  
  "Then you must know the rules of that interference? You know peasants can't marry a royal family member?"
  
  "I'm familiar with them, but there is a way they can."
  
  "And that is?"
  
  "Is that if the courter is beaten in single combat that he drops any rights to the member of the royal family. If my assumption is correct Ponis?" He nods.
  
  "You think you can beat me boy?"
  
  "I know I can!"
  
  "I have won some of the greatest single combats in history, You scared?"
  
  You look at Kai and smile. Then return to his glance and frown. "I've beaten stronger people than you."
  
  "Then I Warren accept your challenge." He draws his sword and prepares to fight.
  
  You go for your sword until Kai says, "Wait." She walks up to you and gives you a long kiss that makes your mind feel like its melting. She steps back and whispers, "Please defeat him."
  
  You give her a kiss on the forehead. "I'll win. Just like the battle with Quon." You draw your blade. Its red blade flashes with glee.
  
  > Attack
  You attack him with swordcuts from all angles. He is forced to block them. You manage to get a cut on his left arm. He jumps back and preapres to attack.
  
  > attack again
  You attack again to keep the momentum up. You continue the attack and push him back. He tries to attack and he gets cut in several different places. Its tiring you out.
  
  > attack again
  Your fatigue sets in and you fall to your knees, so you don't see his blade come toward your head. The ground is the last thing you ever see.
