Who's Zhoron?

Frevanth woke feeling hazy. "What happened?" he mumbles to himself when he notices a gigantic shadow bellowing over him. "Who's there?" he snapped in a demanding tone. "I am not joking! Tell me who you are!" he snarled.

However, there was no reply, just someone moving towards Frevanth at an alarming rate. "Get back!" he yelled as his voice trembled. "I have a weapon!" was all that he could squeak out. If you remember, Y'dil gives him his strength and power. Since she was nowhere to be found, Frevanth was hopeless. He could hear the words ringing in his ear, 'Failure!".

Frevanth's father has been hard on him since his brother died. He constantly yells "Failure" at Frevanth and reminds him that he should have died instead of his brother Zhoron.

Zhoron was the first elf to be born into the royal family of la Cour de la Lune. However, when Frevanth's father found Zhoron, he spent all his time with him teaching the elfling how to become a Dragonlord. This led to a lot of jealousy between Frevanth and Zhoron. Frevanth always felt like he was cased out once Zhoron was found. As a result, Frevanth grew up watching the ancient history of being a Dragonlord and the spells he needed to learn off in the distance.

When Frevanth was old enough to be a Dragonlord, his father disowned him, not seeing the burning rage in Frevanth's eyes. Frevanth moved away for nearly two hundred years until he received a letter from his father that Zhoron was due to marry and take the throne. It was Frevanth's duty to escort his brother to his wedding. This wedding was prearranged before Zhoron was ushered into the family nearly one hundred years after his arrival.

Frevanth never met up with his brother like he was supposed to because they got into a fight about who Zhoron was set to wed because neither man knew who he was supposed to marry until after Zhoron's death. At Zhoron's funeral, Frevanth met who he believed to be his true love...Athelayna. However, their love was forbidden. The council informed Athelayna's father that Athelayna was not grieving her fiance.

Athelanya loved Frevanth from the moment they laid eyes on each other. However, shortly after meeting Frevanth, Athelayna was kidnapped by the council. Frevanth blamed Athelayna for her disappearance and held a grudge against her, and she believed that Frevanth did not save her because he no longer loved her.

While laying there, Frevanth dazes out and replays every moment in his life as anger and guilt fill his heart, completely forgetting about the shadowy figure approaching him. "Hey! Don't ignore me." the shadow demands.

"It cant be!" Frevanth snaps. "You're..." he says before the shadowy figure cuts him off. "Dead?" replied Zhoron with a massive grin. Frevanth sits there as pale as a ghost staring at his dead brother. "This can't be!" he mumbles under his breath.

Frevanth did not know that he's losing his powers would bring his brother back from the dead. "Must feel pretty powerless big brother." Zhoron snickered. To add salt to Frevanth's pain Zhoron begins to call Y'dil. "Oh did I mention your pet is my prisoner?" Y'dil approached with a gigantic metal collar around her neck. Frevanth did not know what this was. All he knew was that it was the work of the humans.

He had seen this kind of evil before, but he was not aware of the pain she would feel due to his actions. "Get up brother. I want you to meet my bride." Zhoron grinned with confidence. "No!" Frevanth growled. "I knew you would behave this way. That is why I brought back up."

At a push of a button, Y'dil drops to the group and lets out the most heartbreaking noise as the electricity courses through her veins. "Oh how I enjoy that sound!" Zhoron cackled. "Please. Stop. I will go with you." Frevanth pleads, "Just please dont do it again."

"This is too easy big brother." Zhoron grins, "Wait until you see my bride! I hope your heart breaks and turns to coal like my mother's did when our father chose your mother over mine.".

At that moment, Frevanth understood why his father acted the way he had when he was a young boy. However, now he has more questions than answers.

"Who was Zhoron's mother? How can I save Y'dil? Is his bride to be Athelayna? Is this why she can't love me? Or won't?" Frevanth let out a small whimper, "Does she love Zhoron? Did she lure me in to get him back?".

Frevanth realized he was in more trouble than he anticipated.
