Tolitio looked into the water. "How could he have found out?", he asked his reflection. It contrasted him. White scales and blue eyes stared back at him, "I am not sure.", it seemed to answer. Tolitio hung his head in shame, "It was while I was still young, nobody could possibly know these days without me telling them."

Flame came up behind him. She sat next to him on her haunches and wrapped her tail comfortingly around his like a hug. "They had no right to do that to you...no right at all..." she frowned. She met his eyes and nuzzled him. "It'll be alright though..."

Tolitio nuzzled Flame back. He felt better now that she was there, "He had every right...", he admitted. His reflection nodded.

She frowned. "I'm not going to let anybody treat you that way...They said you're free to return to the meetings, but still...It really irks me!"

"You don't understand... What he said about me was true. I'm a liar, a traitor and an outcast.", he sighed, "I should have told you before, but I never knew how to...", Tolitio lowered his head. His reflection bowed it's head even lower.

Flame shook her head, nuzzling his neck again. "I don't care what you are...or what you say you've done...To me it is and will be lies. You are the dragon I fell in love with despite your past. And nobody can say something against you like that and get away with it without me saying something about it!"

Tolitio tried to smile at her. "They're all dead.", he muttered, "I am the last of my clan. The only survivor.", his snout touched the ground, "I could have done something, should have done something. Instead I was a coward. I hid behind them. The ones which destroyed my family. I had sold them out. Betrayed them for my own benefit... I never thought it would end like that. I don't know what I thought back then.", he sagged in greif, "It's my fault. If I had never spoken to those damned -", he stopped speaking.

Flame sighed. "So you made a mistake, a bad one, but a mistake none-the-less. It can't be repaired or changed, all you can do is learn. Sitting around and feeling bad does nothing. You need to forgive yourself before anybody else does or can. Inner battles have to be fought with one soldier only and no re-enforcements....But no matter that you did, as I have said, you are whom I chose to spend my life with."

Tolitio managed a short smile, "Thanks..", he nuzzled her. Deciding not to tell her about the rest. Love was worth too much.

Flame smiled back. "I still love you, always will." she assured him, nuzzling him back lovingly. "Every single dragon in this place has done something he or she does not feel good about. Some are just more severe cases than others..."

Tolitio looked into her eyes and smiled. He remembered something, "Who's watching the kids?", he asked.

She thought for a moment and hastily stood up. "Of course...One important thing and another important thing and I get all mixed up!" She then sighed. "I guess we'd better hurry up before Ursha tries to burn her sister's tail again..."

Tolitio laughed, "So that's what happened!", he smiled, "I'll catch up with you. Have to get dinner for tonight.", he nuzzled, "I'll try not to roast it for once too.", he winked.

She smiled back. "Alright, I'll see you later then...Good luck with the hunt." Flame then nuzzled him once more before standing up and spreading her wings. She leaped agilely into the air like a cat and soared away, glancing back once just before she was out of sight.

"How long have you been standing there?" "Long enough old scales.", the red dragon from earlier walked from the shadows of the nearby trees, "Didn't you notice me?" "You don't deserve to be noticed... Not in my eyes." "Your eyes have clouded through time wasted. Instead of honing your power, you hid it, just like you hid your past." "The past is behind me. I must see the future." "Is that what She told you, Tolitio? I wouldn't trust the dead.", the dragon circled. Revelling in the sight of Tolitio's guilt and agony. "I don't think her to be dead." "Oh that's right... You still look for her body in your dreams. For proof of what all others have been able to accept. FOOLISH!". Tolitio looked down, trying to contain his angered depression. "How did you get into the Council today? It's not possible, they should have detected that something wasn't quite right about you.", he cracked his long neck. The red dragon paused in step, "Don't ask me, Tolitio. For it was you who invited me in. Can you not face your demons? Can you not face me?" "YOU'RE DEAD, RICORFLUIS!", Tolitio bellowed, "I saw it happen that night! You shouldn't even be capable of walking amongst the living!" "And yet, here I am.", the red dragon smirked devilishly, "It was only a matter of time before I came looking for you and, in the end, you found me.", he emphasized his sentence fluidly, like it was natural in practice. "I don't have to listen to this.", Tolitio made to turn and walk away to hunt. The red dragon cut him off, "I'm afraid you don't have a choice White Wing. Or should I call you Black Soul from now on.", Tolitio's control snapped as he lashed out. Cutting the red dragon's face deeply with sharp talons, "Get your own life and stop trying to ruin mines.", he padded into the trees slightly before the red dragon went to strike back.
Both took swipes at one another, sometimes cutting, others tearing. Fangs bared to deliver a bite whenever a chance came around. It was a vicious and bloody battle, that wouldn't end until one backed down, or somebody died.
