guards secure that area of the keep. Aiden was to secure the outer grounds. Lugos' instructions had been given in secrecy. Myrdinn had spoken something quietly into Lugos' ear before he too left the room.
After the three had left Davin noticed something faintly lingering in the room. It was that same smell. He hadn't noticed it when they first came to Myrdinn's chamber, but now it was again recognizable. It was the smell of rotten eggs.
Myrdinn continued watching over Halo who slowly had seemed to be improving. Davin and Chloe sat on the couch that was placed in the library, not saying much of anything until Davin finally decided to break the silence.
" Myrdinn. Why did they take Halo's blood? What would somebody possibly want with it?" Davin stood up and walked over to Halo who had fully regained consciousness. He softly stroked the weak dragon's head.
" Remember that book I gave you Davin? That book contained what I had thought to be nothing but old myths and superstitions. It appears that somebody is attempting what was described in it. Is there any detail that you may have left out? Is there anything at all?" Myrdinn had become almost frantic in his questioning.
" It's just like I told you." Davin replied. "I was knocked out and when I came to, My head was covered for some time. I only saw the imp I told you about. Just before I passed out again though, I saw a dark figure. I could not see who it was, only their eyes. There was something oddly frightening about them. It was like a bad nightmare. They were as red as blood and were glowing just like a bonder's."
" Red eyes! Are you sure?" Myrdinn shot in cutting Davin off.
" Yes I am very sure!" I could never forget them."
" I have only seen eyes like the ones you have described but one time. It is something that happens when a bonder is bitten by a creature that is so foul and evil. It is the bite of a Flesh Demon that does this. They are a creature that feeds off of the blood of other creatures. They are normally so ferociously determined to get every drop, that there is rarely much left. I only know of one person that was attacked by one and survived. This was the same man with eyes that had turned from green to red. It was a bonder that had been bitten. They say that once bitten there is a sudden lust for blood. The red eyes show that they have just fed. The initial feeding can be from anything living. Their first victim determines their everlasting craving. A man bitten that first feeds on another man will only crave the blood of men. This man I speak of died shortly after being turned. His first victim had been a child. He was confined and when he didn't feed he became weak and was eventually beheaded. It seems that we are dealing with a turned bonder. Their first victim may have been a dragon and is why they took Halo's blood. But Halo's blood is special for other reasons. The reasons that are written in the book you read. What did it say about the man that drinks the blood of the Ancient one?"
Davin thought for a moment. "It said something strange. It said that the man would be the dragon. It showed a picture of half of a man and half of a dragon as a whole. But that makes no sense. What does it mean?"
Myrdinn looked down at Davin seriously. "It means exactly what it says. The man will become a dragon...and a man. It describes how the man can take the form of a dragon."
" Then why Halo?" Davin asked.
" Have you not yet figured it out Davin. Your dragon's eyes. They are blue. Your eyes are blue. Bright, glowing blue. The blue eyes of the Ancient one. Somehow Halo is a direct descendant from her."
Goban had returned. "We were unable to find anything. No body, no blood, nothing. The mine is a large labyrinth of tunnels. It will take weeks to search them all."
After talking to Myrdinn some more about the vicious Flesh Demon and what happened to it's prey if they survived, Myrdinn instructed Goban to escort Davin, Chloe and Derrick back to their respective
