Part five re-written just for my fans
The mountains loomed over the world the Skyripper Mountains so called because the tops dissapeared into the sky. Auron stood at the edge of a cliff near a cave entrance way staring at the mountains. He remembered the last time he was here his mother the great Wolf Beast Haroon made the top of those mountains her home. Where she had two pups but before they were even a year old holy men came and killed her. Auron clenched his fists tightly "Mother.....I know you wish for me to cause no harm to my brother but while he exists in the name of good I can't allow any blood relations with the side of light. Besides you always said I was the stronger one so shouldn't the strong destroy the weak?" Auron felt a cold wind swirl around him then darkness when he could see again his mother stood before him in all her glory a giant white wolf. Her eyes held the sadness of many centuries she spoke her voice soft and soothing. "My son my dear Auron if you fight your brother one of you will die but the other will be tortured by the fact that they killed their double. While you two remain alive you are in harmony with one another Light and Dark Good and Evil. One cannot exist without the other if one of you dies the other will be driven mad by the unbalance and destroy themselves. I can not change your mind for you but maybe Ulrick can. Atleast give him a chance you two used to play together when you were pups no bigger than my paw. Think about what I have said Auron and remember family are always with you." When she finished the darkness returned than reality gave Auron a cold slap to consiousness. He stood before the cliff tears had frozen to his eyes he brushed them away and turned towards the camp in the cave entrance. The girl sat before a fire slowly cooking a piece of venison from a deer Auron had killed he had to admit she had been helpful along the way. The girl looked up at him and smiled as he sat down he gave her a sideways glance "What are you smiling about?" she chuckled and shook her head "Oh nothing here your piece is ready." She picked up the stick the meat was skewered on and her fingers got to close to the flames she pulled her hand away quickly and jammed her fingers in her mouth. Auron laughed for a little bit then walked over "Let me see"he grabbed her hand and looked it over then wet his fingers with his tongue and rubbed them across the burns. "There they should be fine by morning." He picked up his piece and began eating she looked at her hand then at him and crawled over and gave him a small kiss on the cheek and went back to the fire. Auron smirked and stroked his cheek with two fingers "Say girl.....I have been wondering....what do they call you?" She smiled brightly before answering shyly "My names...Sarah." Auron nodded then finished his piece bone and all. Sarah looked at him "So whats the next stop where are we headed?" Auron stared at the fire for a few moments then spoke "We are heading south to a town known as Turinth where someone is waiting for me but first we have to pass through this network of caves in the mountains. Thing is it will be hard to navigate because the paths are always changing and there are ancient terrors hidden in the gloom."Sarah looked a little scared "What...bats?" She shivered at the thought of them Auron smirked "Those and other things stick near me at all times." Auron went to lay down near the entrance of the cave and dreamt of his past. "A grand city of peace,A home, A woman holding an infant waving its small arm at him then screaming and crying as flames swirled devouring everything in an orange glow. The woman reaching for his hand as a figure in a white robe cut her and the baby down his face a mirror of Aurons his eyes a dark blue his hair long and golden "You know what you must do...Brother" Auron woke to the sight of a knife plunging towards his heart. He grabbed the assailants wrist and twisted sharply and pulled them into the light. His eyes widened as he saw that it was Sarah he released her and stared at her quickly rising to anger "Why?.......Why would you do this after I let you live for so long?" Sarah backed away and glared at him angrilly "To get my revenge for you destroying my village ten years ago remember that little girl?" Auron laughed "So you think it was me who set your village aflame? For once I can actually say I had nothing to do with it your home was burning when I arrived." Sarah looked at Auron suspicious "Then who was responsible?" Auron smirked "The very person we are paying a visit to in Turinth." Sarah went down to her knees and bowed before Auron "I am sorry Auron please forgive me and let me join you on your journey."Auron chuckled and waved his hand "Get up your no use squirming on the floor get some sleep we have a long way to go in the morning."
