Chapter 27

"So uh what did you want to speak to me about?" "Oh uh well I met your daughter here and wondered what you guys were doing here and all that." "Oh well when Alairia was a baby her mom died. Then I decided it was best I don't stay there anymore. From then on we have been traveling. We stopped by any place that would take us in. other times we had to sleep in caves or on trees." "I see I'm sorry to hear that. Well if you wont mind a fresh start, since you know my uncle here you can make our town your new home. You would have to meet the king who happens to be my brother. I was supposed to be since he was my half brother but I turned it down he was better suited. I don't like being called prince so just call me knight." "OK sure Knight. Well before we make our decision can we take a walk over there and look around?" "Yeah sure. I'll come get you both at about noon how does that sound?" "Sounds good to me." "OK well see you all later." Then we went back home safely.

"Sorry uncle for dragging you there sleep in if you want." "Oh I'll be fine I only need a couple more hours and I'm good." "Ok well see you later then." I went back home it was already 5:00 in the morning It was already sunrise. 'Oh shit I'm going to get an earful from my wife.' I thought to myself.

I got home and everyone was awake. I was waiting for an earful but nothing came. "Uh is everything ok?" Aria and Knight ran over and gave me a hug. "Woah kids I'm fine. I was with uncle. I'm fine." "Really? You were with Cyan?" "Yeah well at first I wasn't." Then I told her all about what went on. "I lost track of time sorry." "Well since that is what happened I won't give you an earful." Then she went to the living room to sit down. "Sorry honey I didn't mean to worry you and the kids." "Yeah I know." Then she kissed my cheek and dragged me to sit down next to her. We sat quietly with her leaning on my shoulder.

Later that day I went to work. I told my boss I had to leave around noon. He agreed. So I went straight to my work. I knew I wouldn't be able to color it so I just did the drawing part first then the lettering really lightly so I can go over it with oil pastels.

I hurriedly got my uncle and we were off to the elf village. Oh and Aria came too. "Keep up Aria." "I'm trying dad." "Hey uncle you're a dragon right? can't you fly and take Aria up?" "Yeah sure." He stopped a minute then turned to his blue dragon and aria got up and they flew. I knew I shouldn't but I did anyway. "Knight what the hell are you thinking! You know doing that weakens you!" "I have to. I have to keep up with you plus we are late picking them up." "Ok fine but going back we are walking." "Fine." Then we finally made it to the elf village and I turned human and leaned against a tree and collapsed. "Dad!" said Aria running over. Cyan was as well. "Hey you ok Knight?" "Y-Yeah I'll live. Cough Cough." Then blood came out of my mouth. "Oh no. its worse then we thought. We need someone who knows more about dragons." "I'll be fine uncle lets just get business done. I already know who to go to." Then I wiped my mouth with my sleeve. Luckily it was black, then we went further in.

"Hey sorry we're late this is my daughter Aria. She is an elf." "Hello Aria. My name is Alairia. I'm 18 years old." "Nice to meet you. I'm 16 years old. So dad tells me you're a dragon?" "Yes I'm actually a purple and blue dragon. Dad is a green and purple dragon. Would you like to ride me on the way back?" "Yeah sure I'd love to. If its ok with dad." "Yeah just be careful ok?" "Yeah dad I practice on brother all the time. Yeah my brother is a dragon mom is an elf and dad is the dragon. Dad isn't supposed to go into his dragon form it weakens him." "Oh why is that?" "I don't know he never told me. Dad says he knows where to get help if he needed it thought. Just when we got here he was in his dragon form and he coughed up blood. But he seemed to be ok after that and we came to see you and your dad." "Oh I see. I'm sorry to hear that. Well my father and I aren't just any dragon. We can cure about almost any problem a dragon or any creature may have. But before I can do anything, we have to see this person that your father is talking about to get the gist of the problem." "Yeah good idea."

"OK are we ready kids?" Said Miles. We discussed that Cyan was going to guide them where its needed I would stay behind and walk. Aria and Alairia stayed behind with me and she flew slow in case I needed help. Cyan only guided Miles over so they will get there before me.

We got there about 10 or 20 minutes after them. Alaira came up to me. "What can I help you with?" "Oh um my father and I are healers. We can heal about any problem a dragon or any creature may have. Aria told me what she knew about your issue with turning into your dragon form. We might be able to help with that. First we will have to talk to the person you go to for help about this kind of stuff." "Thank you Alairia. Your father already talked to me about that. I will be willing to try anything to be able to transform safely. We have an appointment tonight to meet with the person. You need to come as well. After dinner we will be going." "Ok cool. I just hope we can help." "Yeah me too." Then she rushed back over to Aria and they hung out.

Hours later dinner was done and Miles, Cyan, Alairia, and Aria all came with me. "Hello anybody home?" I rose my voice high enough someone could hear. "Just a minute please." Said a strange voice I don't recognize. "Hello sorry about that. How can I help you??" "Oh you must be night. Magician told me a lot about you." "Oh is that so? Is he here is urgent." "Yeah he's in the back I'll go get him." I saw the young man go in the back and come out with magician. "Oh look who finally decides to grace us with his presence. Miles and Cyan. Good to see you both again." "Nice to see you too. You haven't seemed to change much magician." Said Cyan. "Yeah well it's a spell I had since my teen years. So what brings you here?" Then I told him what was going on. "Oh I see yes of course. Well." Then he went on to explain my situation to see if Miles and his daughter can help. "We haven't dealt with anything like this before but we can give it a try. We will need to combine our powers to do this. we have heard of something similar to this its not only a human problem but a dragon one at that. We will give it a shot. We will take a look inside him first. All I have to do it put my hand on his head and my daughter with put her hand on mine." I nodded. Then they did just that.

After about 10 minutes they took their hand off. "Ok we see the problem. We were correct it was both a dragon and human problem. First we would have to heal the human part then take a look in the dragon part like we did the human part and heal him separately." "OK do what you can please." I said. "Ok lay down here and relax. Close your eyes. It may be slightly painful as it heals." I nodded. "OK Magician. You and I assume your assistant are strong enough to hold him down if necessary?" "Yes we are." "Ok good. Ready baby girl." "Yeah dad lets do it." They put their hands on Knights chest and stomach and the rest of the healing did itself and went through the body.

A couple of hours later, they came out of the room. The others stayed out so they could have room to do what they needed. "How is he?" said Aria. "He is just fine Aria. He will be a little weak when he wakes up. Other than that he should be fine. We need to rest before we can do the dragon part." Said Miles. "Yes please get some rest. I have an extra room with two beds. Please rest there." "Thank you magician." So Miles and his daughter went to rest. Aria went to her fathers side to wait for him to wake up.

Lunch the next day Knight was starting to wake up. "Hm." He moaned. "Dad? Are you ok?" "Aria where? Oh yeah I'm at magicians place. Do you know if it worked Aria?" "Well Miles said he healed you. Do you feel any better?" "I feel a little weak other than that I feel better than I have felt since I was a teenager." "Haha funny dad. He said you should take it easy. They are resting since It was 2 hours for them to heal you. They even had to have magician and his assistant Tyson hold you down halfway through." "Oh its that bad huh? So how long will I feel weak?" Then Miles came in and said, "You will feel weak til about dinner time after that we can work on your dragon part." "Oh Miles. Thanks for doing this for me." "Sure any friend of my old friends is a friend of mine." "So how did you like the village are you going to stay?" Miles looked at his daughter. Then said, "We would be happy to make this place our new home if you wouldn't mind?" "OK lets wait for another day to do the dragon part we can meet my brother the king. Then in a day or 2 we can work on the dragon form if that's ok with you?" "Yeah sure. Sounds good."

Then dinner finally came and I got my strength back. "Finally. I'm my old self again." "So uh uncle can you lift me in your dragon form?" "Yeah why do you ask?" "Can you give me a ride to the castle to see my brother?" "Yeah whenever we are ready."

So after dinner I had Miles and his daughter get ready. Aria and Knight jr. wanted to come I agreed. Aria would ride on Alairia and Knight Jr. would be in his dragon form. They flew off and Eva waved told us to have fun.

They finally got to the outside of the gate and turned human. "Hello guards. The King is expecting me and company." "Yes enter." They opened the gate ant the others followed me.

"Good evening your majesty." I bowed. The others followed suit and the girls curtsied if they could if not they bowed. "Good evening brother and company. What brings you all here tonight?" "Uh excuse me your majesty can we talk in private with the company." "Yes brother of course."

We went to his office and sat down. We told brother all about what was going on who they were and that they wanted to stay in the village. "Well I'll be damned. Brother I would love to spar with your dragon again if it all works out. Also as for you both I would have to see your dragons before I can let you live here. For safety of others and yourselves." "Yes sir where should we show you?" "Oh excuse me follow me."

"Here we are go out in the field and transform." Once they did the king went up to them. "Alairia right?" The purple and blue dragon nodded. "Then you must be Miles." The dragon nodded. "Ok you can turn back now if you would like." They both turned back. "Ok my Name is Torian. Nice to meet you Miles and Alairia welcome to the dragon Kingdom." "Thank you your majesty." Said Miles and his daughter. "Ok so where will you both be living?" "Oh we don't have a place yet Knight was going to show us some ideas." "Yeah its actually those houses near my work if that's ok?" "Yes of course. Those houses are nice. OK have fun all of you. Good to see you Knight and Aria." "You too uncle Torian." Said Knight.

Then we stopped by my work. I showed them that this is where I work and wanted boss to meet them. "Hello Boss. This is Miles and Alairia. They will be new neighbors. We are going to look at the houses over here for them to stay in." "Oh if its just to two of them I have the perfect house. Give me a minute." He left for a moment then came back. "OK lets go." "Oh you had the big boss watch the place?" "Yeah he wasn't to thrilled but when is he." "Yeah he's a scary looking dude." Then we followed boss to the place.

"Here we are. Yeah I have the keys because I own the place as of right now. I'm renting it out but I'm willing to sell it in the future if you both want it." "We'll look around first" "Yeah sure please." It was a 3 bedrooms house. With 2 bathrooms a living room, dinning room, and kitchen. "The bedroom walls are soundproof for privacy." "It's a nice place dad." "Yeah I agree. How much are you renting for?" "Oh well I'm not worried about it at the moment. Lets get you situated with a job first then talk about rent." "You are to kind sir." "Oh my name is Orion. You can call me that or Boss like Knight does." "Ok well thank you Orion. This place is nice. I will do my best to look for a job as will my daughter." "Well Knight here might be able to help you." "Yeah I can help you with that situation." "Ok well here are the keys you might want to make another set for Alairia." "Yes thank you." Then he left back to work.

"SO since you don't have any luggage with you do you kids and miles want to go to the park for a bit?" "Yeah thanks dad!" SO they headed for a teen park.
