What creatures live in a world where there was no love? She looked up to Caspian for a moment as she thought. They loved eachother more than anyone in the world could imagine. He was her reason for survival, why she even lived to see her son's birth and death. Without his love her life was a hopeless void of pain and sorrow that she could not bear to live in and her life would be taken within the hour. She probably wouldn't even have come back to Narnia to begin with. her grip on him tightened as her thoughts swarmed into emotions, good emotions for once, of love and protection for him. She would not lose her Caspian, not like she lost her son. She would die long before that day comes. She may say to him that if the choice were between the two of them then she would run, but then when the time came she would stay. If she died she could not be punished for it later and, if anything, he would rejoin her in a few years time. "Dose Caspian have any of the shapeshifting power as well?" she asked at last trying to change the thoughts in her mind.

"I might." Caspian said slyly, not wanting to hear Cotnar's answer. But Caspian had never tried it before, shapeshifting. He surely wasn't going to try it now, in front of his enemies. But perhaps when he was alone, he would attempt it. He squeezed Susan's hand, letting her know that he understood what she was thinking. He couldn't even dream of life without her. She was the force that kept the tip of his sword in the blood of his enemies rather than in his throat. "She can't possibly like her role, can she?" Caspian asked. He remembered how much pain Susan had been in when she had given birth to Galen. Caspian wondered how a demon, who without love for her mate or children, could want to do nothing but have little ones for the rest of her life. Caspian couldn't understand it all. Why would she choose to be evil, too? Not even shape-shifters would live forever. You were supposed to live life happily and the way that you wanted, not to spread darkness into the next of generations.

"Whether he has power or not I know and care not." He snorted smoke again, "But if you do, do not think you can use it against me. I am far more expeireced in the magic than you could ever become." He growled as the threat passed him and he flexed his tallons leaving gashes in the stone of the floor. "As for her opinion, it means nothing. Her fate is not hers to control, but for me to deside. I took her as my mate and therefore she will do as I say. You humans do not understand this life we live and I can understand for you are much more primitive and less intellegent. But in our relam this is the way of life. In our world your Susan would bend to your every will without thought or debate simply because to resist was to tempt fate. No one knows whether she enjoys her duty as child-bearer of the master, but then, no one cares."

Susan struggled in Caspian's arms in a futile effort to escape. Anger burned inside her again threatening to destory her free will and lead her into a hopeless battle with the demon. How could he treat her that way? She may not have been the kindest of mother's, but she still deserved to be able to speak. She should be allowed the option of freedom. And who knows, should it be given she may even accept and join her half-blooded son in the fight against her old master. Somehow there could be a way to reach her, and then maybe a way to convince her to join them. Then they would have a better chance. Even if she wasn't as good of a fighter as Cotnar she was still a changeling and so much could be learned about them from her. "Where is she now?"

Caspian knelt his head close to hers. "No, Susan." he said. "She killed my brother. She left my father. She's Lady of the demons. We can't go to her." he said softly to his lover. "This is beyond out control." Caspian held her close as she tried to escape, and listened for Cotnar's answer to Susan's question. He would have assumed that his mother was in the land of the demons, but Caspian had been wrong before.

"There's still a chance." She whispered to him hoping he understood. She may have done plenty of horrible things before, but one thing remained true about her past no mater how it was interpreted: She had left Cotnar for a human. Whether it was by will or force she did not know, but maybe there was a chance. They could find her and see if her loyalty might lie with Caspian's true father. It would win them an ally they could not afford to lose. "We have to try."

"Susan..." Caspian said impatiently. "She is a demon. She wants to kill us. She hates people." The King said. "She does not even have the ability to love. She'll have no affection for me or any of my siblings." The man pulled his arm closer to her, hugging her with the one arm that held her back from attacking anybody. It was a shame that demons couldn't love one another. Caspian couldn't imagine life without the ability to love. It would be life without a life, an unexistance within existance.

"but she apparently loved your father enough to have his child. You're proof of it. There may still be some chance and if there is we have to take it." She didn't like having to do this, she was supposed to agree on everything with her husband. But it never turned out that way. On so many things she fought and argued with him from what to do to whether or not to leave her to die. Maybe on this matter she should just stop and agree, even if there was a possible loss on their part. Even without love it would do them some good to take one of the shapeshifters and uns them for their side.

"You fools know I can still hear you." He growled digging his claws into stone and blowing smoke again. A small ember caught on some cloth, perhaps a fallen bandage, but extinguished itself as it ran out of material to burn. "Firemane won't come with you. Your nothing more than a human, no matter what time she has spent with you." But his mind went back to just after he had retrieved his mate. The plan had gone well, a half-blooded demon now awaited the throne that they would one day take, but she had changed. She was less fierce, taking much more time to ponder before striking her enemies. She was isolated, unwilling to speak with anyone except for Ciski, the human among her offspring. If anything, her moments of isolation made no since to him. It took many moons for the stage to pass.

Caspian poked her side, but no one else saw him. It wasn't to hurt her, but just to tell her not to make so many plans infront of their enemies. If Cotnar and Lamont knew that they would meet with his mother, surely they would be ambushed. The poke was also a silent message, telling her that if seeking out the demon was what Susan truely wanted, then they would do it. Caspian would do anything for his wife. But right now, he had to speak his mind, his disagreement, for two purposes. One, it was what he truely felt. He thought it was suicide. And Two, they couldn't let the Devil and his master know of their plans. "To go to my mother is to die in her claws." Caspian said. "They said it themselves, those who show up without appointment will die, and she's out to kill us anyway. If we go to her, we're only making her job easier."

Susan felt her face grow hot as she realized what she had done. She hid her face behind her hair and Caspian's clothes hoping it would hide her embarrasment in the prosess. She posked Caspian to make it seem as though his own was simply play between two lovers. She wouldn't look at her enemies or her lover's face. Only if they were lucky could they be able to get into the demon's land and be able to get Firemane to freedom of Narnina. She couldn't imagine that, after being given freedom, that she would turn back to a life of slavery to Cotnar. She had given herself to Lamont, a fate she could hardly stand, much less Aslan's greatest enemy.

"It makes no difference." He said, "By all means, come to our world, see what you can accomplish. I would enjoy the show of seeing you try. She will probably be waiting for you with your sisters." He stopped for a moment and looked at the sun. The instant he saw it he changed his shape becoming the sharp-eared bat before returning to the long dragon's form. "Strange, thought I would hear her at least. The star's shake when she screams at times like this."

"Why does she scream?" Caspian asked, holding Susan in his arms. He rubbed her back comfortingly. Aparently, it didn't matter if their enemies knew their plans now. They had been invited to come into the demon lands. "Does she fear the sun?"

If They were being invited there was probably a trap being laid out in front of them. If they went death was likely to be waiting for them. Maybe he wanted them to come. He dosen't want you dead But it didn't make since to do anything but kill them. What esle could he want? "I don't think something that can turn into a bird that bursts into flames can be scared of the sun."

'Why would she fear the sun more than I do. We prefer darkness but we can handle it." He stopped his clawing and listened for a moment, "She screams for the same reason your Susan dose."
