Chapter 32: Training a little dragon.

"Ok Adira. I haven't trained a little dragon for a long time. So if I say or do anything I'm not supposed to, I'm sorry ok?" "Ok Raven." So I tried to think of some of the things I learned on the island. I took a deep breath and let it out. "Ok lets start with turning into your form." She turned into her form and I jumped a little. "Sorry about that. Its been awhile. You have a very beautiful pink and purple color. Do you have any powers yet?" "I don't know." "Oh that's right. You just found out. OK I'm going to turn into my form now ok?" "Ok Raven." I slowly turned so she didn't get scared. I showed here my Blue form first. "I have 3 forms and 2 powers. This is my ice form dragon." Then I turned into my red form. "This form is my fire dragon form. Oh and my last form doesn't have a power. Its just random." So I turned into my mixture dragon form. "Oh cool. I like that one. Will I get more than 1 form?" "I don't know Adira. You still have room to grow." "OK Raven. Now what?" I thought for a moment and said, "I know. Hang on. Let me turn human for a minute." I turned human and opened the door a touch. "Hey Kane. Come in here for a sec." "Sure ok." Then I turned dragon again and whispered in Kane's ear what I was planning. "OK I'm a little nervous but ok." I watched Kane slowly approach Adira. "What is he doing Raven?" "Just relax. You'll be fine." "No! I don't want him near me. I'm turning human." She turned human and ran off to her room. I turned human as well. "Oh dear. I thought this would happen. I guess I have to talk to her." "Let me try." Said Kane. "Ok if you need me I'll be sitting here." "OK Raven thanks."

(Knock Knock) "Go away!" "Its Kane Adira." "What do you want?" He could tell by her voice she has been crying. "Can I come in and talk to you?" "Fine." He walked in and sat next to her. "What's going on Adira? Why were you afraid of me?" "I don't know. Ever since something happened in the village I have been afraid of humans in my dragon form." "Ah so that's what it is. Its not just me. That's good to know." Then he told her what happened to him and how he used to be that way. Then he met a friend who could help. "So Raven would be that helping friend then?" "Who knows. Maybe I could be the helping hand. Haha." "Kane stop joking around." "Hey I have an idea. Raven told me about dragon island. Its where a bunch of young dragons go to get help. Everyone stays in dorms. Its like a summer camp for dragons." "Um I'll think about it. I sort of like it here. I know Raven is trying to help. I want to see what she has to offer too." "OK Adira. Are you ok now. Yes I'm fine." "Wait before you go Adira. You said you were afraid of all humans? You were fine when Raven was human." "I know she's the only one weird." "Ok Lets go back Kane." "Ok lets go Adira."

They got back and Raven was asleep on the chair. "Hehe how cute." "Haha yeah I know right? Should we wake her up Adira?" "I have an idea. I've always wanted to do this if I ever had a sibling." She turned one of her hands into a dragon arm. Then she touched Ravens back and tickled her back with her claws and Raven chuckled. "OK OK I'm up." Adira made her dragon arm normal again. "You tired Raven?" "Oh I'm fine. Maybe just a little bit. Ready to go Adira?" "Yeah lets do this." We went back in just me and her. "Ok turn dragon again. I will stay human. I have an idea." "OK Raven. I hope you know what you are doing." "I hope so too." Adira turned dragon and said, "What now?" "Now I want you to approach me. I will put my hand out and you will come up to me." "O-okay I will try." I put out my hand slowly and she cautiously came over and very slowly took a couple of steps and stopped. Then I let her come to me. "Good. See now I'm petting you. Want to try with Kane?" "Maybe tomorrow. I still feel bad for what happened last time he came in here." "Ok lets keep practicing with me then." After awhile it was time to end the training. "Ok you did very good. Tomorrow we will use Kane. Then we will do boss and I will bring other people here. Oh I forgot to ask. Can you fly?" "I don't know. I never tried." "Ok once we work on the taming of humans, we will test out if you can fly. You can turn human and go to Kane now." "Thank you Raven." "Hehe sure." Once she was out I took a deep breath and exhaled. "Ok now time to talk to boss." I took a step then collapsed. I couldn't get up. I could barely move. Luckily I heard Tony. "Tony!" I said weakly. "Raven?" He opened the door and saw me on the floor. "Raven! Are you ok?!" "I can't move. I can barely talk. I think I'm just tired. I took a nap while Kane talked to Adira." "Hang on Raven let me help you up." Tony lifted me up and I said, "I feel bad for making you do this." "Its fine Raven. Shh just rest your voice ok?" "Mhm. Ha….Ha….Ha…." "Hang on Raven. We are almost there. Here we are." He laid her in the bed and saw she looked a little red and sweating. "Raven are you ok?" "Hmm." Tony felt her head and she had a fever. "Oh dear. She over worked herself again." I better go get the doctor to be sure. Hey boss? Where is the doctor? Raven isn't doing so good." "Not again. OK he is in his office." "Ok thanks."

"Hey doc. Its Raven. She isn't looking so good. She is in her room." "Ok I'm coming." He got his back and they both headed out.

They went in the room and the doctor saw Raven. "Your right. She doesn't look good at all. Let me check her out." "OK I will wait outside." "OK then." He checked her vitals, looked at her eyes, mouth and ears. "Ok well Raven. Looks like you really did over work yourself again." "Hmm. Ha…Ha….Ha…." "OK Raven if you can here me I'm going to give you the shot for the pain and fever." He gave her the shot and waited to see what it would do. "Oh good its working. OK I did what I could." He went out to tell Tony the info. "OK doc thanks." He went in and continued putting the rag on her head. "Raven you need to stop overworking yourself. Not only for yourself. For your kids and husband."

"Hmm I wonder where Raven is?" Said Kane. Tony was just out getting water and saw Kane. "Oh Hey Kane what's up?" "Where is Raven?" "Oh she overworked herself. I'm changing the water for her fever." "Oh no. I knew we should have stopped. I saw how tired she looked and I ignored it." "Its not your fault Adira. She has overworked herself for years. It's a normal thing for her." "Ok I feel better now." Then tony went back to dump the old water and get clean.

As Tony was getting water, he saw something. "Huh? What is that?" He finished filling the water and went inside in a hurry. "Hey Boss! Emergency! Something strange is outside!" Boss went out the door and looked. "Oh I see what it is. Its fine not to worry Tony. Its just a few dragons passing by." "Oh ok then." So he went back in to Raven.

The next morning Raven woke up. "Hmm. Tony? Are you there?" "Relax Raven I'm here. How are you feeling?" "Much better. What happened?" "You called my name and I found you on the ground unable to move and brought you here. The doctor said you over worked yourself again. He had to give you a shot for your pain and fever." "Oh that's not surprising." I tried to sit up but it hurt a little. "Argh." "Take it easy Raven. Your still not full health." "What about Adira's training?" "Hmm good question. I'll talk to the boss about it." "Ok then." "Oh and I will bring your porridge in too for your breakfast." "OK thanks Tony."

"Hey boss. What are we going to do about Adira's training?" "Oh that. I have someone in mind that may be able to help her. I just have to call him." "Ok I will get Raven's food and let her know."

"Hey Raven. You awake?" "Hmm. Zzz….Zzz." "I guess she's asleep. I'll put her food here for when she's wakes up. Poor girl." He rubbed her head like a brother would. He was about to leave when Raven woke up. "Hmm. Tony?" "Yes Raven. I just brought you your food." "I can eat it." "OK then." He watched her eat and when she was done he took her plate to the sink.

I got out of bed and stood up to stretch. "Ahh that sleep was really good. I'm ready to take on the world now." I went out to get some air. "Ahh the air feels nice." "Oh hello Raven. I see your feeling well?" "Oh hello Boss yeah a little bit. I heard you found someone to train Adira today?" "Yes I did. I wanted to talk to you about something." "Sure what is it?" "I was going to ask Adira how the training would be after the guy I have trains her. If it were me I'd let you go back home and have this trainer continue or go to the island." "Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I don't have much experience. Its been awhile." "Yeah I figured." "Who is this man who would be training her?" "Oh you will see when he gets here tomorrow." "Ok when he gets here tomorrow let me know ok? Its already a few days before the new week. I am busy then." "Alright then. You should lay back down. You feel like you have a slight fever." "Thanks boss I will soon. I'm just enjoying the air." The boss left and went inside.

I turned around and decided to go inside when I felt a sharp pain. I saw a sword pierce my side. I turned around and was shocked. It looked just like Zoro. "Zoro? Is that you?" I coughed up blood.

I just barely made it inside. "Tony! Kane! Somebody!" I couldn't talk anymore I was in so much pain. I coughed up blood again. The boss was heading out and saw me. "Raven! Oh my god what happened!" "Zoro. It looked like Zoro. I think he was….possessed or something else was going on. He wasn't….himself." "Hang on Raven! Don't die on me!" "Tony! Kane!" Kane and Adira came by and saw Raven. "Kane get a doctor Now!" "Yes sir!" "Hang on Raven your going to be ok. I promise." I smiled then closed my eyes.

"Shit she's getting cold. Hurry up Kane." Then Tony showed up. "Raven! What happened?!" "She said someone who looked like Zoro stabbed her. He looked like he could have been possessed or something else is wrong with him. Kane is getting the doctor." "I don't know if we can wait. Hold on let me see what I can do." He put his hand on Ravens wound. Then he tried healing her. "NO! Come on! Heal! Raven hang on. Your going to be ok." Said Tony.

Finally the doctor got there. "Doctor. My healing won't work. I can't stop the bleeding." "I see the wound it wouldn't work." "What is it?" "Hang on. Let me give her this shot. I have dealt with this type of wound before." "OK now try." Tony tried again and this time he was able to stop the bleeding." "Oh thank god." "She has lost a lot of blood. Lets get her fixed up and put her in the special room. We need to find out something else about her."

"Hmm. Argh." "Hang on Raven. You're going to be ok." Said Tony. They finally got her to the room and laid her down. "Argh mm." "Hang on Raven. Doc what is wrong with her?" "We did what we could for her in this situation, but I have some things to test. You 3 should wait outside." "Ok doc." They went outside and the doctor did some x-rays and some other tests. "Hmm. Just as I thought. I have to get this piece of the sword taken out or it could be fatal. Sorry Raven this is going to hurt." "he took the gauze off and went inside to get the sword piece. "Argh!" "Hang on Raven almost there. Got it. OK Raven lets stitch you up and wrap you oK?" He wrapped her up and let her rest.
