[dragon] The Traitor

[Kyn1000 at aol.com]

Here is my second chapter.  There will be at least two more chapters.  What 
did you think of my first one?  Since this chapter was so short, you might 
get chapter three by Wednesday.  Tell me what you think.  Enjoy!

The Traitor

	Daini stands with his back to the forest, watching as the Naga storm 
Kyuden Kitsuki.  "Why, Hitomi?  Why?"
	The leaves rustle in a cold breeze.
	"Because she knows what she is doing is right."
	Daini whirls around, sword drawn.  "Who are you?  How did you get 
here without my hearing you."
	"I am Kyn of the family Kitsuki."
	"How did you get here?  Do not make me cut the words from you."
	"I bear a message: Hitomi lets you follow your destiny, let her 
follow her own."
	"How did you get here?  Answer me!!" Daini says, barely containing 
his rage.
	"You may kill me now."
	Daini just stares at him puzzled.
	"I order you to kill me.  KILL ME!"
	The Daini continues to stare at him.  Finally he laughs and says: "I 
cannot kill you.  You are just a boy.  Run along and play."
	"I am still more a man than you, you traitorous cur.  KILL ME! KILL 
ME!  I want to die!"
	Daini doesn't have a chance to grant his wish.  A pair of hands reach 
out from Kyn's shadow, grab his ankles and pulls him into the ground.  Kyn 
tries to scream, he doesn't have the chance.  He sinks into the ground and 
sees only the darkness and hears the shadow laugh.
	A crystal-tipped arrow hits the tree that Kyn stood in front of.  An 
Isha emerges from the forest and retrieves his arrow.
	"He wanted me to kill him."
	"You sshould have," the Isha hissed.  "He wasss a pawn of the Foul.  
You are fortunate that I drove him off.  They are dangerousss."
	Daini does not reply.  Instead, he sheaths his sword and resumes his 
contemplation of the Naga invasion.
