Chapter 25

After all, Hana decided to not go back until she meets the dragons and to see whether if they were hiding something or not!!! She walked lightly away from Tom and Adeodatus' vision and had hide herself in some corners until when she made sure that the way to the eastern gate was safe! And so fast she managed to reach the gate but once she put her hand on it, she found it was made up by a heavy iron materials that to open it by pushing is very impassible!! And as a result Hana begun to look around as to see whether she can jump from somewhere or any other solutions when she noticed a little girl who was standing at front of a narrow path in the street and waving her hand to Hana, at time Hana felt weird and thought maybe she needs some help and thus, Hana started to walk towards her when the girl ran into the narrow path while stood at its end and looked at Hana again, So Hana completed her walking to her and once she got closer to her, the girl begun to run and entered the left side of the path where there were an old wooden door! She gave Hana a wave and signaled her to come and so then, she entered inside!!

Hana looked around a little worriedly, but then she went to the door, pushed it quietly and looked inside stealthily, It was an old office with a young woman sitting at her desk while jotting some notes in a little notebook when Hana knocked the door and said... « Good evening lady! May i enter? », the woman turned around at Hana as to see her when she replied... « Oh! Yes of course » at time she stood and gestured to Hana to sit on the chair but Hana said directly... « There was a girl who kept pointing at me to follow her!!! »...

# « You where trying to go to the eastern side of the kingdom?!!! », at time Hana looked at the woman in shock and weirdness when she completed and said... « She's my little sister!! I told her to bring whoever wants to go to the eastern side!!! I can help you if you want!!! You just have to prove that you can run!!! It's just to be fast enough!! »

* « why is that!!! »

# « To escape from all the danger that you might face!! »

* « and how would I prove it?!!! » at that moment the woman put the notebook down on the desk and said.. « by only one test!!! And this test is about to begin! come with me!!! », In the office there was a tall old closet, the woman walked towards it and opened it, then she removed its back cover from the inside to reveal a door behind it, she entered it after that, and so does Hana! At time she found out that the place was an average football field medium in length, as it was surrounded by the walls of the surrounding houses from all the sides and only few whose had windows!, and there also were about twenty young men and women standing behind each other in regular line when the woman asked Hana to join them, when later a man came and stood in front of the line and said to the woman... « Their number is done now?!! » at time the woman replied «yes! We can start!!! »

* the man :- Hi everyone!!! Now, your number is completed as the volunteers of this week! Each of you has a reason to join, perhaps for adventure!, searching for money!, or even to look for those who have previously entered and have not returned!!!

Crossing the gate could mean death, or a new life!!, A life of luxury or perhaps torment!!!, And as a result of the danger of crossing the gate, we only set one condition which is the ability of running to each volunteer as the only thing he might need to survive!!! The test is going to be a running competition but not only between each other, but between you and medium sized dragons!!! And so that, whoever reach the winning line before the dragons will be able to go but who reach after won't be able to!! Is it clear?!!! », everyone said in loud.. " yes sir!!! " when later the man ordered them to stand on a line where behind each one of them a dragon! And after everyone had prepared, the man started counting down from three, and as soon as he reached one, everyone started running as fast as they could But Hana's speed wasn't fast enough to get ahead of them! And a a result, she directed her hands slightly towards the ground as then she cast a light wind that made her speed to increase by making her steps lighter and thus, it enabled her to reach before the dragons...

Hana and two other men have succeeded when the man stood and said... " Three have made it, so the rest are kindly requested to leave the place and to try in next week!!!", at time the rest left the place the man, the woman, Hana and the two other volunteers went out to the office, at time when the woman was closing the closet, the man gave the volunteers a paper so they write their names when Hana looked at the paper, she decided to write up her name ( Silva Ernesto, 17 yrs old female ...) and handed the paper over as the two men...

And thereafter, they all headed to the gate but the weird thing Hana noticed was the streets that were empty so Hana asked the woman when she said... " of course it's empty!!! It's Saturday! People are praying!! Why would we open the gate so easily?!!", and so Hana understood that she's about to do what's out of law but tho, nothing will stop her!!!

The woman after that stood in front of the door when she grabbed her hands and cast a fire when little later the fire turned to a dragon whose directly and very fast headed to the gate lock while the fire was getting hugger and brighter than each second before it Until the lock made a loud popping sound, which means it has finally been unlocked! the man then started to push it, and as soon as it opened, the woman said... « I will stand every night at the gate so when you finish whatever you went for! then, you must to wait until the night and to make owls' sounds, i will directly open the gate!... », When she got finished, the man got out the three of them and immediately closed the gate!!

It was a rocky desert that the sun was so blazing and they could hardly see the high rocks clear from the High Heat Ripples!! At that time one of the two men looked at Hana and the other one and said... « If you want to follow me to take you from the safest paths to the most precious monuments, then that's fine!! My name is Milo and I'm coming here every week since a month!! », at time the other man extent his hand to greet him back when he said... « My name is Samuel, and it's nice to meet you!!! » and thereafter, Hana present herself too when she said while was looking for something around her.. « Milo! Can you please tell me where surly i can find the earth pleasant dragons?! »

*Milo :- « they are in everywhere!!! You will think for once that what you are seeing is a big rock but in a second it will turns out to be that dragon! So be careful!!! », at that moment, Hana looked at a point when she pointed at it and said.. « So! If i goes there i will fond them?!!! », in very weird expression he replied « yes!!!!!! »

* « then i guess i found my way!!!! Anyone wants to join me?!!! You will have such a great adventure!! », of course, the two men looked at each other in weirdness when Milo said... « And!!! What are you going to do?!!! »

* « play with them!!! Explore their burrow!!! »

*Milo :- You must be kidding me!!!!

*Samuel :- I can understand that you have read some books about these pleasant dragons!! That they are cute, sociable and very kind to everyone!! But these are not!!! they're wild and will never be as what the books said!!!!

* Believe me!!! They are all my friends and won't ever hurt me!!! So!, if you want to join me you both will be safe!!
