Summary: The firt meeting of Raistlin and Dalamar
A/N: This series of ficlets is something I wrote several years ago, back when Dragons of Summer Flame was the latest Dragonlance novel. Therefore, it does not take into account any of the books which have recently been published and shed more light on both Raistlin's and Dalamar's past.

************************
"Enough of this quarrelling!" With an imperious wave of his hand, Raistlin stopped the mages' dispute. "I have not come here because of your petty fears!" Leaning upon his staff, which was adorned by a ball held by a dragon's claw that started to glow softly at his words, he turned around. His gaze fell on a woman clad in the same black robes that enfolded his fragile body.
"Ladonna..." A smile lightened his face, yet still his eyes lost none of their sharpness. And the woman realised that, as she could not suppress the clenching of her hands. The young wizard continued to smile warmly as if he had not seen anything, yet there was a touch of triumph in his voice when he addressed her. "I have come here because of your letter. I hope that the cause of all this is still present?" When Ladonna simply nodded, he laughed softly.
"Would you be so kind then as to at least tell me his name?" he asked with biting sarcasm, but then all of a sudden a fit of coughing seized his body. With the last of his energy he managed to fend off the help of a hastily approaching white robe, only to stare at the mages while he was still trembling and clutching his staff.
Nobody dared to speak, until Ladonna finally sighed and reluctantly admitted, "His name is Dalamar, the dark elf." She nodded to a young black mage who went to the door, all the while watching Raistlin fearfully. Inside came another black robe, his face hidden by his hood. Slowly he approached Ladonna and Raistlin, then bowed first before the head of the black robes, then before the sickly young mage. With a final graceful movement, delicate white hands brushed back the hood to reveal an elven face with features that were just as delicate, framed by long black hair. The noble lineaments - together with the perfect white skin, the long black lashes and the rosy lips - clearly showed his heritage.
"A Silvanesti?" Raistlin smiled again. "How fitting..."
Dalamar shook his head slightly. "No, Master, no longer..." he objected softly, although his voice was full of respect. "I am a dark elf, banned from the light and without a home." For a moment, there was uncontrollable rage burning in the slightly slanted eyes, immediately destroying the impression of gentleness that the delicate figure might give to an observer.
Raistlin approached him. With one hand resting on the elf's shoulder, he pulled him closer to look into his eyes. Dalamar shuddered when he found the brightly golden gaze studying him. Only now did he realise the cause of the fear the mage's regard awoke in him: pupils formed like hourglasses held him immobile, pervading his thoughts, his mysteries, until there seemed to be nothing left of him but the certainty that he knew, that he had to know...
"Very well... apprentice!" Raistlin whispered in amusement. Dalamar was still shivering, and the grip of the black mage hardened for a moment. "Never forget with whom your loyalties now lie," he warned, while his all-knowing eyes once again held those of the elf.
"Only with you, Shalafi... with you and the magic!" Dalamar answered in rapture. His heart was beating hard in his breast, pumping his blood faster and faster through his body until he felt a slight dizziness at the thought of being allowed to study with the greatest mage of his time, the most powerful of all.
Raistlin nodded, and then he was suddenly coughing again, this time so hard it shook his body. Forcing himself to breathe painfully, he straightened after several moments and took out a piece of cloth to dab at the blood on his lips.
"I'll await you in two days," he whispered hoarsely, then he gripped Dalamar's chin with one hand and pulled the elf's face down to him. Slowly, his lips moved over the forehead of his new apprentice, soundlessly whispering words that burned like fire on the skin of the elf. Dalamar stood still with fear and let the mage do whatever it was he wanted.
Finally, the man looked at him again and murmured, "This will enable you to walk through the forest of Shoikan... if you are determined enough." Then he leaned forward again, and Dalamar's eyes widened when Raistlin's lips gently touched his. They were warm and soft, the dark elf could feel the amused smile on them. The grip on his chin softened, was almost tender now, and then suddenly the lips of the mage vanished. Dalamar almost regretted losing the warmth, but the soft voice whispering in his ear distracted him. "So that the guardians of the tower know that you are mine... They don't harm my property."
Raistlin, Master of the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas and Master of Past and Present, turned around and left the conclave of the mages without another word, his eyes gleaming in amusement. Immediately the voices of the other mages began to rise in confusion and anger, only Dalamar stood motionless, and touched his lips in wonder, feeling some of the blood of the black mage on them.
