Rosalina nodded and sighed. "Darius, They are going to punish you aren't they?" she asked not having Gareth and Daniel. "I won't let them."

Darius sighed softly as he held Rosalina close. She truly was the best woman that he could have asked her. "Do not fret over it. I can take it," he told her softly. "Maybe I deserve it after everything," he added quietly. "I practically drove the mage's woman to madness. And then I nearly killed her. He won't forgive or forget that. And as much as I don't like Gareth, I cannot fault him for it. If the roles were reversed, I would seek punishment as well."
------------------------------------------------------------
"If we are to punish him, we must do it quickly," Daniel whispered in Gareth's ear. Nodding at the old man, Gareth leaned forward and gave Calista one last kiss on the lips before turning to look at Darius.
"Come with me," Gareth told him sternly.
Nodding, Darius gave Rosalina a gentle kiss on the lips before rising to follow Gareth and Daniel.

"Darius . . . " Rosalina reached out but heard the door close. Worry filled her, what would they do, he never meant to wound the woman, he was protecting her.

Once the threesome were outside, Gareth punch Darius in the jaw. "You fool!" Gareth yelled. "I told you I had the situation handled! Calista nearly died because of your stupidity! Do you even care that you nearly murdered an innocent woman?!" he thundered.
"I could forgive what Daniel did to Rosalina," Darius remarked softly.
"So you injure my daughter who never bore you ill will?" Daniel growled.
"I never meant to harm her," Darius replied quietly.
------------------------------------------------------------
After a few moments later, a soft moan escaped from Calista's lips as she started to come too. Turning her head from side to side, her lashes slowly began to flutter as she murmured incoherently. "Gareth...." she whispered weakly, calling out for the mage who was her main source of comfort and strength.

Rosalina saw Calista move before hearing her speak. Carefully she went to her. "Calista, Gareth and your father are outside . . . With Darius. . . . Darius never meant to hurt you."

"Yet you did," Gareth growled, this time hitting Darius with lightning, causing him to cry out in pain.
"And have been hurting her ever since you've arrived. First you blamed her for Rosalina taking the herb. Then only heaven knows how you badgered her while I was out looking for the herb to bring down your lady's fever, even though you knew she was emotionally fragile. Was it too much to ask for you to treat my lady decently? I tried being patient, but this...this I cannot forgive. You nearly killed her! And I have yet to see a measure of true remorse from you!!!" the mage snarled as he shocked Darius with lightning again, causing the man to sink to his knees.
------------------------------------------------------------
Groaning as she opened her eyes, Calista just stared blankly at Rosalina for a moment as if trying to comprehend her words and remember what happened. A flash of pain hit her as she tried to sit up and she fell back on the bed, a hiss of pain escaping her lips. It was then that everything came back to her in a rush. She heard Darius yell, saw him turn into some sort of creature and lunge at Gareth and her father. After that everything became a blur. She remembered darting forward to protect her father and Gareth and then a sharp claw tearing through her flesh before she muttered something to her father and everything went black. Trembling at the memory, Calista squeezed her eyes shut as if to block out the images that filled her mind. "What is he?" she murmured, even more terrified of him than she was before.

Rosalina sighed. "I do not know the official name for what he is. You saw his true form, a mix of a lion and dragon. I realised that when I felt him." She looked a head. "He rarely uses that form unless we travel by flying, or if I am in danger. Otherwise he is a normal lion, but he has seemed to prefer his human form." Rosalina explained. "He saved me when I was a very young child, and has been at my side since."

"Kill him," Daniel hissed to Gareth.
"I cannot," Gareth remarked.
"Why? He nearly killed Calista!"
"Because he has a love of his own. I cannot inflict that pain upon Rosalina," Gareth remarked. Turning to Darius then, he glared at the man before a faint purple glow surrounded his body and he began to chant in a strange tongue. A beam of blue light descended from the heavens and enveloped Darius with a strange energy. As the light encircled him, his hands and legs began to change into claws and he was left in his lion dragon form. Horrified, Darius tried to morph back into his human form but found that he could not. "What have you done?" he asked as he tried to rise, but his body was in too much pain from the lightning attacks.
"This will be your punishment," Gareth remarked sternly. "I have cast a spell where you will be remained trapped within the form you are in now until Calista no longer fears you and can trust you. If you can win that, your ability to morph will be restored unto you, but this will not come to pass a moment sooner," Gareth remarked before turning on his heel and walking away with Daniel.
------------------------------------------------------------
"I see," Calista remarked, still not any more at ease. "I just want him to stay away from me," she whispered as she trembled slightly. She had tried to befriend the man, but he seemed to take a strange delight in pushing her around that every time he entered the room, she wanted to run or ended up clinging to Gareth out of fear.

Rosalina bit her lip. "Calista, he was just scared for me. I almost died once as a child under his watch. Something he still blames him self for. I am sure that had the roles been reversed, Gareth, the way he cares for you would have done the same thing."

Sighing softly, Calista just looked away, not really knowing what to say. She knew that Rosalina was correct. If Darius and Gareth's places had been switched, Gareth would have sent her attacker into the arms of death. "I am sorry, Rosalina," she whispered. "I know he cares for you, but he still frightens me," she added.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Walking into the room, Gareth smiled as he saw Calista awake.
"Beloved," he whispered. "How are you feeling?" he asked softly before leaning over to kiss her lips lightly.
"Weak...and sore..." Calista whispered softly after she returned his kiss. "But better," she added with a small smile as the mage sat at the edge of the bed.
"Daughter!" Daniel exclaimed as he hobbled into the room. "So glad am I to see you awake!" he exclaimed.
"Where's Darius?" Calista asked them quietly.
"Outside," Gareth remarked impassively, knowing he had left the dragon-lion struggling to get to his feet.

Rosalina frowned. 'Why did you leave him outside?" she asked before standing, and reached out her arms to find her way to the doors and out. Once she felt the sun and wind on her face she called out for the one she loved, wobbling as to not put weight on her bad ankle.

Hearing Rosalina call his name, Darius forced himself to his paws and hobbled over. "Ro..." he said softly as he approached her.
------------------------------------------------------------
"What happened, love?" Calista asked weakly as her eyes fluttered close for a brief moment before she managed to open them again. "Is he alive?" she asked. She was relieved to see that Gareth and her father were all right, but she was a bit curious at what happened to Darius.
"Unfortunately yes," Daniel remarked. "Gareth refused to slay him for Rosalina's sake," her father remarked.
"I am glad of it," Calista whispered. "She has suffered enough pain. She does not need to suffer any more," she said softly, pausing a bit to regain her breath, the effort to speak was slowly taxing her.
"Gareth shocked him with lightning and-" Daniel began.
"And I cast a spell upon him," the mage finished. "He will be trapped in his dragon-lion form until he earns your trust and you no longer fear him."

Rosalina frowned, She heard paws, and Darius's voice was rougher then it was in his human form. "Darius, what happened?" she aske reaching out until she felt him. "Why are you in this form?"

"I'm trapped in this form Ro. Until Calista no longer fears me and can trust me," Darius remarked quietly. "This is the penance Gareth enacted upon me," he whispered.
------------------------------------------------------------
Calista remained silent for some long moments and just blinked as she stared up at Gareth. "Undo your spell," she commanded though she looked up at him in entreaty.
"I cannot," Gareth told her softly.
"Cannot or won't?" Calista wailed. "I don't want to be a part of whatever lesson you are trying to teach him!" she yelled, through her voice was weak.
"Love---it is already done. There is no magic that will unmake it."
"Why?" Calista whimpered. "Why did you cast that spell? Rosalina---or at the very least Darius---will want me to fix it and I can't be in the same room with him...I just can't!" she cried out, tears forming in her eyes. "Please...I beg you...undo it."
"I am sorry love, but that cannot be done," Gareth whispered as he gently caressed her cheek and Calista squeezed her eyes shut, trying not to cry.

"What!?" Rosalina couldn't believe what she heard. "How could he . . . How dare he . . . ? Does he know what he had done?" Rosalina became angry, which was rare for her. Her hands that were on Darius tightened into fists.
