Chapter 21: Untitled

"Hey uncle how you feeling?" I said worriedly. He noticed and looked at me. "I'll be fine. Cough Cough. I'll live for another 10 or 20 years. Haha." "Uncle this is serious no time for joking." "Yeah I know. Glad to see you back young man. How is that son of yours?" "He's fine or will be. They are staying with Kale right now." "Oh I see. He seems like an interesting man." "Haha you have no idea uncle. Who is the doctor that checks on you and where are they?" "Oh its fine. He is at work at the hospital. Eva knows him. Its Dr. Doom." "OK Eva can you stay here and look after Bain I will be right back." "Yeah sure." So I left for the hospital.

"Hello is Dr. Doom Free? I need to talk to him about my uncle." "He's almost done with a patient I'll let him know." Then she called him to let him know. A few minutes later the doctor came out and called me. "Hello Knight. So you want to know Bain's condition right?" "Yes please." "Well its not good I'm afraid. It's a lung disease. There is a surgery that can help but we need to do a biopsy to see how bad it is. He refuses to do either. The only way we can help is if he lets us take a small part of his lung to see how severe it is and help him." "What happens if he doesn't?" "Well lets just say he won't last another full year." "Oh no. Thank you doc. I'll talk to him." Then I left back to my uncles.

"I'm back everyone. Eva can I talk to you please?" "Yeah sure." Then I took her out of Bain's room and told her what the doc said. "How do you persuade a patient to get a biopsy when they are stubborn like Bain?" "Haha Stubborn he is. I know the situation. He told me. Sigh. He said he will wait a week or 2 and see if it gets better. If not he will do it." "But the sooner he gets it done the less it will worsen." "Yeah I told him that to but same answer." "Ok fine at least he wants to do it now. Even if it does worsen."

Then those days finally turned to a week and Bain decided to get the biopsy. We are on our way to take him to get a biopsy. "Hey we are here." "Oh hello Bain. Finally decided to get the biopsy huh?" "Yeah my wife and nephew won't be quiet about it I might as well." So he laid on the bed and they were ready to put him under. Finally after a few seconds he was asleep. We left the room so they could do their job. About 1 hour later the surgery was done. "How was it? How did he do?" "Relax he is fine. Its not as bad as we were thinking it was. At least so far. We will see in a few minutes. Your uncle is still sleeping. He should wake up soon. Go ahead on in if you want." "Thank you doctor." So we went inside uncle's room and waited for him to wake up. A few hours later he woke up. "Hmm. Hey Knight. So what's the verdict? Haha." "Well uncle it doesn't seem as bad as he thought. We got the results back. They are going to give you a trial medicine to see how it works first. Then they will test you again to see if it worked. Yes they will take another piece of your lung." "How long is the trial?" "I don't know talk to the doctor when he gets back."

Finally the doctor got back. "Hello Doc. So I heard about the trial medicine. How long is this trial?" "About 4 months. All we can do is hope for a miracle that it will work." "Yeah. I guess so. So when can I go home?" "You can go home today but you need to rest at home for 2 days just to be safe." "Yes sir." "Oh and don't forget to take your medications." He gave them to Eva since he knew she would make sure he got them.

We got back to Bains house and laid him on his bed. "Ok now behave yourself Uncle." "Yes I know." "OK good. Now excuse me but I have to talk to Eva." So we went out and I said, "So Eva I plan to go back to the dragon village do you mind if I leave you here with uncle for a few days?" "No sure go ahead." "Ok if anything changes send word with your magic ok?" "Yes I know." The I headed back.

I got back home and collapsed on the couch out of tiredness. Ha I said tiredness I must really be tired. OK now I heard the door open and I heard my son and daughters voice. "In here kids." I said. "Oh hey dad. How is uncle Bain?" "We are giving him medicine to try. Hopefully it will help him. So how are you kids doing?" "We are fine dad as you can see. My age group for training I am the top of my class. A girl is second. She is usually my sparing partner she is 14 years old." "Oh does someone have a crush?" "Clearing throat. Anyway we are doing fine and Aria has something to tell you. Go ahead Aria. Tell dad." "Sigh fine. Its not for sure but I have been having signs of a wind and water Elf." "What? Wait 2 Elements? How can that be?" "Yeah I know right? That is what they said. So yeah they say as I get older we will know for sure." "What if you do have both? Is it bad?" "No its just rare I would be working with wind and water elves." "That's pretty cool Aria. I wish dad could see this. I wish you could have met him Aria. I think of him a lot. Especially these times when Bain is sick and when you guys have achieved a lot." "Are you ok dad?" Said Knight. "Yeah sorry. Clearing throat. Your mom will be staying with uncle for a few days while I rest at home. If you guys need anything you can come home." "Yes dad try to get some rest your not looking your best either." "Thanks son. Sigh." Then my kids left and I closed my eyes.

A couple of hours later when I woke up I realized I was sweating. "What the heck. Ha..ha..Why am I sweating and panting? Ha.. Ha.. OK I have to calm down then I am going to get help to find out what is going on with me." I finally calmed down after awhile and was about to head out when I saw Kale. "Oh hey Kale what's up?" "Good. You don't look so good." "Sorry I just woke up not that long ago in sweat and I started panting. I was about to go get help to see what could be causing it. Want to go with me?" "Yeah sure man." "Thanks." Kale help my back just to make sure I was ok getting there.

"Hello Magician? Are you here?" "Just one moment please. Ah ha. Found you little devil." Then he put what it is he found in a bottle for position or whatever he was making. "Hello Knight. Oh and Kale its rare to see you here too. What seems to be the problem?" "Hello sir. I was the one asking for help. I have been having trouble sleeping and Just a few minutes ago I woke up sweaty and panting and can't remember why." "I see. So you don't remember if you were dreaming or something else happened. Hmm. Let me think. Oh I know I think I have a book on this sort of thing." So he went to his crazy library and looked around and finally found what he needed. "Lets see what page are you. Ah ha found you little devil." So he started looking at the book to see if he could help Knight. "Hmm hmm. OK then." Then he threw the book and went over to knight. "OK So I am going to do something ok? I am going to put you into a deep sleep and find out the last thing that happened before you woke up ok? I will need Quiet. Kale can you go out for a bit?" "Yes sir." "Thank you. Ok lay down here Knight." There was a bunch of pillows on the ground. Then he waved his hand and Knight went to his deep sleep. "Lets see what is going on here." He said. He waved his hand above Knights head to see the last thing he saw. It looked normal at first then suddenly something happened. It even made him cringe. That's when he knew why Knight wasn't sleeping. Then he hurriedly made it disappear and waited for Knight to wake up.

"You can come in now Kale. I'm just waiting for him to wake up." Then Kale went in and saw Knights peaceful face. "He looks so peaceful." "For now anyway. When he wakes up I have to tell him some depressing news." "Is it why he can't sleep?" "Yeah Sigh. I've heard of something like this but never saw it. I don't know if there is anything that can help him. He will have to talk to the seer to find out. He knows all apparently." "Haha yeah that wierdo. I hope we can find something that can cure him so he can sleep. Again."

It was the next day when Knight woke up. "Hmm. Wow that is the best nights sleep I had in ages. So what is it? Do you know what's wrong?" "Yes. I do. Would you like me to show you?" "Yes please." "Ok be prepared. Just Know this doesn't mean anything now but might in the future. After seeing this you might want to talk to the seer." "Yes sir." Then he replayed it for Knight.

Once I was done watching I was pretty scared. Magician noticed. "Are you ok Knight?" Magician gave me some water and patted my back. "I-I will be. Ha… Ha.. So was that really me? That dragon?" "I'm afraid so. Remember I told you right now I could mean nothing. I suggest you go to the old man seer to see what the dream meant" "Yes sir. Thank you. What shall I do in the mean time for sleep?" "When do you go back to the human world?" "In a few days." "OK I will give you enough for a week. I have to make it though. Come back sometime tonight it should be ready." "OK sure." Then I got up and Kale took me to the seer.

"Hello Seer? You there?" "Just a moment please." He said. Then a few minutes later he came out. "Hello Knight. I know why you have come here. I can tell you what your dream meant. First of all what you saw was not a dream it was premonition. It very rarely happens to dragons so they are off and on." "OK please tell me." "Well by the looks of that dream you had it should be sometime in the winter or when your son is with you. You will loose control at some point in the winter or when your son is nearby. It looked like some sort of festival was taking place at the time. It looked pretty colorful maybe it's the festival of dragons." "That's like a year away now. We just had it not that long ago." "Well now you know. In the mean time is Magician giving you a potion?" "Yeah he said come back tonight and get it." "Ok good. Also….wait right here. I have something for you." He gave me the same necklace I gave my son only it was the color of my dragon. All necklaces are in the same color of their dragons once they get them. "Will I need this?" "Yes you will for the time being." "Ok thanks seer." "No problem. Oh and be careful when that happens ok? I will most likely be there to try to help you calm down as well." "Yes sir. I will do my best."

That night I went over to see Magician to pick up the medication and told him what the seer told me. "Ah that explains why you can't sleep. Premonitions are a pain. Sometimes they could give you a headache or like when you woke up sweats. Its different for everyone. Here is the potion. All you need is a drop. Any more than that depending on how much you drink you will be sleeping for a week." "Thank you sir." "Ok go on now and get some sleep." I nodded and Kale took me home.

It was a year later. Uncle ended up just fine with the medicine. Sigh we are still staying in the dragon villiage for now. My son is already 14 and daughter is 11. In the next couple of months would be the dragon festival. I am really nervous. I cold still talk to my dragon but we won't be able to turn for the time being. "Hey honey should we unpack all these boxes?" "No lets leave them and use them when we need them. Just in case we do have to move or decide to." "Ok awesome." I was sleeping pretty good with that potion. Magican gives me a month's worth every time. He said I would need my energy if I was to loose control. "Eva. I'm a little scared. I don't know how or why I will be loosing control during the festival. I don't want to hurt anyone." Eva came over to me and hugged me. "Its ok honey. Even if you do hurt them they know it wasn't on purpose. You aren't yourself." "What if I kill someone by accident?" "Well I don't think you will but if you do we will get through it I promise ok?" "Thanks Eva. I love you." "I love you too." Then we hugged and Kissed. "Don't you have work today Eva?" "No Not unless its an emergency." Then not long after all this happened my kids came in. "Oh hi mom and dad." Said Knight. "Hey son. Hey Aria. How is everything?" "Good." Said Knight. "Hey dad and mom guess what?" Said Aria. "I'm having more and more reaction to the wind and water! I will be both wind and water Elf. Its exciting!" "Haha is that so?" said Eva. "Yeah I'm excited." "Well I have a special daughter don't I Aria?" "Yeah that's what the teacher said." "What about you Knight? Did anything happen while training?" "No not really just that I am stronger and still the top of my class." "What about the girl who is your sparing partner?" I said to joke around. "Enough dad she is just a sparing partner and friend ok? Nothing more. If she was a girlfriend I wouldn't even tell you. You would make a big deal out of it and so would mom. I would be embarrassing. Plus I am only 14 not even 15 or 16 when people usually date." "haha we have a smart kid on our hands." I sad to Eva. "Yeah we sure do have smart kids." "Mom there is a cute boy I saw in class." "Oh no don't even think about it young lady. You have at least 4 or 5 more years to date." "I'm not dating him I just said he was cute. Its ok to have a crush right?" "Yes but nothing more and only at school can you hang out ok?" "Yes mom." "I just came to see how you all were doing. I'm going to stay with my buddies tonight." "Ok have fun. What about you Aria?" "I'm staying with my friend too." "Ok then well see you both tomorrow ok?" said mom. "Yes mom and dad." Said both the kids. Then they left.
