Chapter 8

"Nothing" the second Cub who Flame guessed was the oldest rushed to avoid the topic "We just forgot to tell you our names... yeah thats it haha"

Flame was oblivious of the glowing mark on the back of her neck in the shape of a panther glowing with a bright gold color.

the young cubs knew what it ment but they couldn't say it out loud for it was a forbidden law amongst the People of Shadows.

the first cub stepped foward "my name is Shiona my brother is called Bion and my sister here is Elvena"

"ok and its only fair to tell you my name in return Im Flame, Flame Dragonara" the cubs eyes grew wide with surprise they were taught that name from a young age but they couldn't let her know.

"I'll bring you guys food every day so stay here and keep safe ok" she waved goodbye as she made her way out of the cave.

walking through the woods was much harder at night only glimpses of the moon light crept in through the trees canopy making it hard to see where she was walking she couldnt tell which direction she was walking it was hard to tell as there were no street lights in the distance no sound of cars passing by anywhere just the sound of crickets chirping and the occasional hooting of an owl in the trees and nightly silence.

Out of nowhere she heard a wolfs howl it sounded so sad and yet so beautiful and full of joy almost magical but it wasnt far from where she was. She kept walking hoping she was heading in the direction away from the wolf. wolves were dangerous no matter how magical the howl might sound

It was a dark night with a full moon Fang was walking the woods not as a man but as his true form a Wolf.

he stood at 5 feet tall with muscles strong under his thick coat of his black fur that was soft to the touch he ran through the trees that was his home for thousands of years it was the same forest which that battle raged and his Queen disappeared believed to be killed back then he was in anguish and ran in anger but now he ran to celebrate for he found her his beloved Queen was found and soon when she gets her memory back she will come home and this joyous thought he leapt and bounded like a pup reaching the top of a hill in the forest he let out a happy and joyous howl wanting to let everyone know he found her Queen Flame Dragonara of the Shadows.

But he couldn't let everyone know not yet for the one who raged the war against them was still out their looking as well.

He wanted her powers to both create and destroy life as he saw fit and he wanted Flames crown even though no one has seen it since Flame disappeared for it to held power within it as well. and he needed to talk to the elders to find out why she was alive could she of been reincarnated or reborn or could it be that she never really died to begin with

Fang stopped running and sniffed the air he swore he smelled Flames scent and he did oh how he missed her scent he thought to himself while breathing in her scent it was the scent of cinnamon spice mixed with the scent of a fire as it burned wood.

'why is she out here alone and this late at night?'

he followed her scent and found her laying at the roots of an ancient tree it was the tree they planted together as kids he looked up near the top and saw the red silk ribbon they tied to it and enchanted to never decay with time and their it was still as clean as the day they tied it on.

He went up next to her and saw her shiver. he wasnt used to seeing her shivering for her dragons blood always kept her warm but he had to remember her dragon blood and for were sealed within her so she was like an average human now.

so he layed beside her to keep her warm.
