"Who I am is unimportant," he told him looking at the knife for a moment. The one he had was better, sharper, and overall better in craftsmanship than the boy's. "But you are Devon Carter, are you not. You are called many things in the realm of my master. Death's whisper, Demon's glory, Terror's trail, and so many others. I have a proposition for you that, though it dose not involve killing, will put your every skill to it's limits. As reward I have waiting a cave filled with the finest of gold. It all is yours if you carry out this one simple task for me."

Devon lowered his knife, looked up at the guy " yeah what is it and oh yeah what you doing out here little boys are suppose to be home with their mamas" Devon put the knife up to his face.

"I am beyond my age," He told him, "The gods have blessed me with the speed and strength as well as the magic of demons. My mother is dead now and has been for nearly a year. She was shot dead in the streats of England shortly after I found my way here. My father was killed by my cousin and greatest adversary. Now I ask again: do you accept my challenge?"

"She is half the cause of it," He looked to the sleeping queen remembering the song she had tried to hum before sleep took her. He had heard it only a few times, but would remember it for all time. "You carry with you a traitor. She is the cause the throne is no longer mine as it should be simply because she killed my father and allowed my cousin to take the throne. My son, my only son, she has stolen from me and attempts to keep him from me until after he is grown. A child should have his father should he not. And to make matters even worse there have been several times where she has come willingly into my arms, once to the point where she allows me to call her my wife, and then leaves me to die. She'll not hear of this now because it is what she stole that I want."

He followed the boy's gaze to Susan's perfect body. Somehow when she slept he found himself drawn to her more than when she was awake. She was so still, so silent, and so peaceful that when he approached her he did not hear only her screams, insults, and pleas for him to leave him. When she slept he could be near her and sometimes, on the rarest of moments, he could touch her. She had captured him with her endless beauty when he first came to Narnia. It only seemed fair that he capture her as well. He forced himself to look away and fight the urge to go to her. When finally he did he squatted on the sand in front of him, keeping his head higher and his sword out of the sand. "As I said before she has stolen my only son, Galen, and she attempts to pass him off as my cousin's son. I need my son back but, at the moment, I have an army to control and an invasion to plan. Bring me my son alive, leave prince Caspinan to live, and you will have your promised reward. I care not for the lives of any who stand in your way. If you must slay leigons of Narnians then do it. But I think you would like it better to hide in the shadows and steal him under cover of darkness."

Len reached the castle and healed Galen and instructed on of the nurses on how to take care of him. She informed her that she was going on a trip for a week or so if the king were to ask. After words she grabbed just enough things to carry. She changed her clothes to pants and a shirt. Her water skin was at her hip along with a dagger and an antidote. She walked out of the castle and glided on the wind back to the oasis. She reached it to see Susan asleep and the boy talking with Lamont. She walked up to them. "You should leave before Susan learns of your being here. I will not tell unless it suits me" She said in a low voice.

"It suits me to ask where your alleigences lie," he said as she came near. So many battles he fought with her as his enemy and now she comes with him only a few strides from where Susan lay and she sees no reason to speak of it. "I have seen you fight and you do it well. A warrior should have his lines chosed before he draws his sword. Should he change his mind he is a traitor."

Len smiled. "I am a wind demon. We have only one alliance and that is to ourselves. If we chose to follow we will. I have chosen to protect and help Galen who is sick at the moment but getting better. When he grows and I no longer see fit to watch him I will do as I please" She said with pride.

Devon looked at them both, " Ok I don't know what past you two have I don't want to hear it" He took a sip of his water and looked at lamont, " I'll take your challenge but if it destroys the little trust she might have for me i will have your blood on my daggers" Devon walks over and gets his spare daggers he has in his bag.

Lamont nodded and stood looking toward Susan again. "The boy would be with Caspian at his castle in the center of Telmar. If you hope to reach it within the next few days I suggest you leave now." He disregarded what Lennia said about Galen. The boy couldn't be sick, he was strong, like the greatest of warriors. Something as small as sickness would not stop him from reaching the highest of ranks.

"I will take care of her myself." He went to her side and turned her gently onto her back peacefully enough that she would not awaken. He brushed his fingers over the edge of her face glad that she was asleep. "Why must my greatest love be the friend of my greatest enemy."

Len's smiled broaden. Well if it is the child you look fore then you must search very far to find him. He is not at the palace for Caspian can't take care of him" She said with a sly smile. She looked down at Susan wondering where to hid the child. She looked at the others "If you want to learn go on this quest with Susan to Thrash's land"
