The night air was cold and the mist of predawn was growing thick. A man sat by a small campfire while his meal cooked over it. His gaze was set upon a familiar sight, though..since he disappeared almost a full turn of the seasons ago, he'd not once called it what it was...."home". What is it that draws me back to this place? Why does my heart pain me at the sight of it?. The answer was all to clear for him, however much it hurt. He had come back for two reasons, and both would be painful for him. As he ate his breakfast, he watched the sun rise over his homeland.... Avalon.

The arrow missed it mark as her concentration was broken...her heart suddenly felt heavey with regret and longing her hair was being blown about her body in the dawns breeze, she lowered her bow and taking her hand to brush her hair back behind her ear she looked down to her city below the site was as glorious as ever in the dawns light... He has returned... She knew it in her heart she knew it was true... but why did did she fear the thought....it confused her

He packed up his camp and hefted his greatspear onto his back and started across the plains to the main gate of the city, clad in a tattered black cloak that covered his armor. Guards eyed him but paied him no heed. As he wound through the streets he marveled at how the City had grown over the past year. At long last he slowly aproched the the castle. "It's time..." he said to himself as he steped before a guardsman. "Tell her royal majesty there is a man who seek an audience of behalf of the Dragoon of Water, Lucien Raymora."

"I wish I could say the my reasons or good....but as I said, I'm here about Lucien." As he spoke he pulled forth a set of blue gauntlets. "His memory has come back to him and he bade me to return these to the Temple..I can only guess at his reasons but I was not going to deny a friends request." He set them before them and looked to the floor, hoping she wouldn't ask the one question that could brake his composure.

She thought for a moment. "They will be returned." She bit her lower lip thinking. "I am curious. Why is it that you left Avalon in the first place?"

For the first time he looked her square in the eyes. "I...." He stood, weapon in hand and turned away. "I left to sort out my love for a woman I can not have. I'm just a soldier, not a noble, and thus I can not have her. I dont even have the right to wield my spear...not after what I've done. What right do I have to even be near her after seeing the hurt so clear in her eyes?" He looked over his shoulder at her. "Still, I and a citizen of Avalon...and thus bound to the Queen....If you comand me to stay, I will......"

she looked away knowing of who he was speaking of She turned her gazed back to him. "I will not make you stay against your will. But it is nice to see you once more. Give Lucien my regards and tell him to come back and see us.. That goes for you as well.... Avalon is your home and it always will be...never forget that..."

"And who said anything about it being against my will?" He smiled to himself, she was always thoughtful of his feelings. Under his breath, "She's just as I remember her." He started towards the door, hoping she cuaght his meaning.

She grinned "If that is what you think it to be then yes, its an order." She smiled as she looked him in the eye. She wanted him to stay but she would not make him.

"Then by your command majesty, I will resume my post here as a Dragoon of the realm." Whit his words he threw back he cloak to revel his armor with the Lightning God crest on the chest and he kneeled into a bow to his Queen. "I'll send word to Lord Lucien to come home at once. I'm sure Lady Rose misses him dearly."
