The Returning War (A Songs of War fanfic)

Part 1: Chapter 5

The shadows swirled around Decon as he walked across the gigantic bridge toward the massive tower looming before him, The Vault had the finest weapons in all of Ardonia, although Decon didn't need any more weapons it was always cool to see what the masters were cooking up; and perhaps steal a few blades. Decon gazed at all the weapons that hung on the walls gleaming in the pale moonlight flitting through the open window. A raspy hiss reverberated through the room

"I will have it, and you cannot stop me; if you try I will rip you to pieces!" Hissed a voice toward the top of the room

Decon searched the room and saw two figures perched on a rafter. One in pearly white, and the other in pitch black

"And I have defended it for many years" purred a second voice "and you have attempted to steal it for many years and have always failed"

"But now I have the upper hand, I will rule this time, and no one especially a manipulative scoundrel only out for personal gain such as yourself!"

"Aw thanks"

"Sarcasm does not suit you"

"Why because I am a: sweet, naive, innocent little girl?"

"Sweet? Naive? Innocent? Little? My dear you are many things, but of those four you are not"

The White Figure coked its head then scanned the room with its electric blue/green eyes. It stared down at Decon with unbridled interest "I believe we have an audience"

The Black Figure jumped off the rafter and stood before Decon menacingly 

"A spy?" Hissed The Black Figure "but for who?"

"Hey I'm not a spy" defended Decon

"Then what are you? You don't look like anything I've ever seen"

The White Figure dropped beside its companion "He's an Ardoni you idiot"

"A what?!" 

"An Ardoni"

"Ardoni, that is such an odd name"

Decon glanced slightly worried at the black hooded figure who's red eyes roamed over every inch of his body and was at least two heads taller than him; The hooded white figure although only a head taller than Decon but power seemed to radiate from her making her seem more dangerous than her companion

"What is your name Ardoni?" Hissed The Black Figure

"Decon, what's yours?"

A cruel hissing laugh echoed from The Black Figure "as if I would tell a lowly creature such as you"

"Hey! I'm not a lowly creature!"

"Then what are you? Do you wield some great power?"

"I have a few Songs"

"Songs? What are they?"

"They are Songs, don't you know what Songs are?"

"No, but if you continue to refuse to tell me what they are I will make sure you regret it!"

"Hey cool your heels, Songs ar..."

"Cool your heels, what is that supposed to mean?"

Decon stared at The Black Figure incredulously "Are you kidding me? How do you not know what 'cool your heels' means?"

The Black Figure hissed dangerously "Stop testing my patience! Tell me now!"

The White Figure snickered "He means slow down and stop being so hasty"

"Then why did he not say that?"

"Because he expects everyone to understand modern idioms"

"Why?"

"Because most do"

Decon slowly started backing away but The Black Figure grabbed him by the neck

"Leaving so soon?"

"I need to get home befo..." Began Decon

"No! Since you intruded upon my privet conversation I feel I have the right to take your life"

"What?!"

The Black Figure shoved Decon to the ground and unfurled a whip which glowed with a reddish energy

"If you harm him Reaper" purred The White Figure "I will attack you"

"My dear, you should know this by now; I hold no stock in your threats"

The large wooden box lay in Sparks lap unopened, it was intricately carved with dragons. Ack pecked the box curiously

"Do you think I should open it?" Asked Sparks

Ack laid his head on Sparks leg

"I hope this isn't a trap"

Sparks gingerly lifted the lid, a bundle of black something lay next to a black stone glowing faintly with Endermagic. Ack squaked at the stone and made a sound that sounded remarkably alot like a growl

"What is it Ack?"

Sparks picked up the stone "It's a dragon egg!"

Ack ruffled his feathers and pecked the ground

"But why would Vulcannus give me one?"

Sparks lifted up the bundle of black something, it was a suit of Enderarmor!

"I think it is time for me and him to have a little chat"
