Sonnis turned

Sonnis and Rissa followed Neron toward the castle. Quietly Rissa leaned over to Sonnis and whispered, "I don't like this, something is wrong here."

She listened, and then said, "so Neron, why are we coming here."

"My father wishes to see you," he explained.

Sonnis lowered her voice, "Rissa please relax."

Rissa shuddered again. But went more silent.

That's when Xeo sidled up to them.

"Hey brother," he said casually, "so this is the girlfriend you've been telling me about? She's a pretty one huh?"

Neron glared at him, "knock it off Xeo."

"How about her little friend here, what's your name sweetheart?" He asked Rissa.

Sonnis expected her to bite his head off, but she did something unexpected. "Rissa," she said in a light manner.

"A pretty name for a prettier girl." Xeo answered, he offered a hand, "care to join me, I bet your tired of being the third wheel with these two." He motioned at Sonnis and Neron.

Rissa cast Sonnis a look of urgency. She mouthed, 'I don't trust this'.

Sonnis shook her head slightly. Neron drew her onward though before she could get much of a complaint in.

"That was my brother Xeo, he has a terrible manner. As I'm sure you could tell."

"Rissa will handle him," Sonnis said, "if anyone can."

They were at the huge castle gates now.

"Wow, this place is beautiful." Sonnis told him, "is this really where you live?"

"It is indeed, allow me to show you inside," Neron said, Sonnis noticed though that he was nervous. She didn't know why.

Neron lead her through the castle and to the great hall. "My family has one like this too." She told him conversationally.

He looked gravely serious suddenly, "I would suggest you are careful Sonnis." He said suddenly.

"Why?" She returned.

Neron shook his head and showed her inside.

Their was several things in the room, a few thrones and huge pillars, in the centre of the room was a dragon curled up around a throne where a fiery girl sat. Sonnis could not recognize her as her cousin.

"Is that you Neron?" The dragon crooned.

"Hello father." He said, "this is Sonnis."

The dragon raised it's head and studied Sonnis.

"Welcome Sonnis, I have heard much about you."

Sonnis blicked in confusion.

So the dragon continued, "I am Craftus, and I have heard much of your talent and skills. It is an honour to have you here with us."

Sonnis wasn't quite sure what to say. 

The dragon studied her with slightly sad eyes. "I have heard your story. Your banishment was most unfair, and only for the aid of a family member it is a pity. Don't you think? To see that talent thrown away so willingly?"

"How did you hear of that?" Sonnis at least said.

"I have heard of many things," the dragon answered. "I have wanted to talk to you for awhile. I am in need of help from you."

"Help from me?"

Sonnis glanced at Neron in confusion.

"Yes, I need help from you Sonnis, the greatest user of magic in all of the dimensions."

Sonnis blushed slightly, "you flatter me. What is it you need and why?"

"Sharp as well I see," the dragon noted. "Long ago a betrayal left me damaged, you would know about betrayal I gather and how terrible it is."

Sonnis nodded slightly.

"That damage is of great pain to me, I am unable to use my powers or leave here." 

Sonnis felt that as well, having been trapped in her own life. "You wish for me to heal you?" She asked, "but why else."

She was remembering what Rissa said.

"I will not lie to you Sonnis, I have old enemies I wish to even myself with. You are not unfamiliar with this, no?"

Sonnis nodded slightly.

"With my powers I would be able to restore some of the order our world has fallen from, with certain leadership."

"You mean you are going to overthrow Onicent?" Sonnis asked him.

The dragon stayed still and looked to her. "Do you care for Onicent?"

"He is my uncle," Sonnis said.

"That is true, however I implore you to see your family is what you make of it. Balyn come forward."

"Balyn?" Sonnis said surprised.

Balyn stepped down and looked at Sonnis.

"They treated me unfairly," Balyn told her, "so I turned my back on them, join us Sonnis." She said in a careful voice.

"There my family!" Sonnis said, "what about my brothers and sister and parents!"

The dragon shook his head slightly, "I would happily leave your family in tact, I have no issue with your young brother or mother."

Sonnis stood there, "your only after Onicent?"

"And those who are foolish enough to stand with him."

"And your evening the betrayal?"

"Indeed and you would be evening yours as well."

Sonnis stood there feeling incredibly lost.

"There is one more thing to tell you Sonnis."

Sonnis stepped close to him, "Onicent is keeping your son hostage."

"My son!" she asked.

"When Onicent threw you in the water, a boy sprung forth whom has your powers, yet Onicent has taken him for himself. His name is Dio. With my help we can save him. Join us Sonnis, heal me and we will take down the one who wronged you." 

As Craftus spoke he breathed some of his breath onto her, she was slightly enchanted by it, for she could see his world. No more banishment, a son to love and revenge.

When Balyn offered her hand, Sonnis took it.
