Original X-roads-2003

Meanwhile…
 
    Jamie walked from the shore to the field where he watched Sertoff slashing at Jonothan who stood watching him. Time and time again Sertoff slashed his light sword through Jonothans torso. Jonothan stood unmoved watching in a slightly bored manner. Hmm, he thought, I know they’re fightin about Jas but where is she? He turned in time to see Daemon emerge from a building and pull his sword as he approached the scene.
    “What’s going on?” Daemon stood behind Sertoff.
    “I got Jas now an he don like it.” Jonothan smiled.
    Daemon removed his pendant, “If you let her think for herself she wouldn’t feel that way and you know it Wizard.”
    Jonothan smiled and answered him back in Rhismian, “Either you want to break my concentration or you don’t want Sertoff to hear.”
    “Release her wizard!” Daemon said in almost disbelief. “What do you want with her? She has nothing for you. She can not add to your life, only subtract. You see the darkness inside her, you know that leads to trouble.”
    “Maybe I see more than you do then.” Jonothan hissed. “Do you really think she is going to show you anything but her dark side? She has no feelings for you, so why bother to show them at all? We see different sides, you and I.”
    “That should tell you something right there.” Daemon sheathed his sword.
    “It tells me that she cares for me, she doesn’t wish to hurt me. Like she wants to hurt you.” Jonothan smiled again.
    As Jamie watched he thought, it’s strange that I can understand. What’s stranger still is Sertoff is still slashing.
    “What do you want with her?” Daemon urged.
    “Do you think I’m not capable of love?” Jonothan said sarcastically.
    “No.” Daemons voice was firm. “What do you want with her?” he repeated.
