.A Spark From Before.

"You are so good to me my king." I grinned softly, he was sitting in front of the mirror and I combed my fingers through his long hair, humans are one of the only races that tend to think it ridicule for men to wear their hair long.

"Please called me Sawyer, you are not lower then me." I braided the back of it.

"Alright Sawyer." I leaned down, head at the same height as his with a grin, winking through the mirror with a smile... How cute that pink face.

I leaned up a bit, elbow on his shoulder and head in my hand.

Like this if he was not careful he'd have a look straight down the col of my shirt, I am the one in control stupid boy.

"So what about my request?" I asked, lifting my head so I could rub my fingers down his cheek. "I don't want to use up my one in a lifetime chance to summon them to just see them."

"As you mentioned part of them are indeed with the Gatekeeper."

"Yes I figured, it would be a danger to house all dragons in one place, if elves fall and these dragon's die those other ones would survive."

"Yes, you are so intelligent."

"Oh don't flatter me, tonight I'll train Skarla, please do protect us."

"I'll do as you say."

I grinned.

"Perfect."

"So what are we doing here?

"This place has one entrance and not everyone knows this exists." Seva told me.

"I made sure of it." The elvish king said, the three of us in the underground mostly metal chamber again.

Jalousie was nipping at my side at how he was seeking her attention and she was giving into him.

"Thank you, I greatly appreciate it." She pat his head and cupped his face. "Now leave, I need to be alone with her."

I watched him leave with a glare. It felt like he was stealing her away from me.

I crossed my arms, watching as he disappeared up the staircase.

"What troubles you so?" I jumped out of my thoughts and spun, Seva right behind me, that mesmerizing grin. "This will just be us two, no one else." Gods her voice.

"I... Am I too slow at learning?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"You spend a lot of time with the elvish king, he'd be a better ally I feel." I rubbed my arm, feeling stupid.

"Skarla nothing is better then you." She forced me to look at her by grabbing my chin and turning it to her face.

"You are saying this just because I am an elemental." I didn't see her tightly pulled lips before I looked back and she was grinning.

"And what about being an elemental? If you were a wild mage you'd matter just as much as you do to me now. I knew that our fates were tied together the day we met so if nothing else that makes you special."

I blushed the hundreds of hues of red all at once.

"Lets train already!" I said, shaking my head.

"Alright, sit down."

I did so, crisscrossed.

I saw her walk around me.

I was grabbed and pulled back, I found myself staring at the ceiling, her hands on each side of my face, my head probably on her legs as it felt soft.... I BLUSHED!

"S-Seva?!"

"Relax, this might be a little hard for you, you trust me don't you?"

"Of course."

"Perfect.... Now close your eyes, you need to let go of every earthly attachment as you are technically letting your soul wander into the immaterial world, the spirit plains, spirit realm or whatever people might call it now, your mind needs to let go of its body. You will probably be unable to find your way back to your body alone but I am here for that, I know what to do."

"I trust you."

It was a hard exercise, nothing happened for a long, long while.

But her caressing my hair was pulling me asleep.

As I fell asleep I felt that sudden feeling of falling people sometimes get but as I jerked up I wasn't seeing a metal ceiling but a red and black sky spiraling and intertwining without mixing.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!!" I yelled, falling for real.
