Chapter 31

"Ah its good to be back home. It was nice seeing everyone again." I said to Eva. "Yeah I bet. Did you go visit your fathers grave?" I sat up and said, "Yeah I did. My sis came with me. she gave me some privacy then her as well I gave her some too. I asked dad and the gods up there to help me in the upcoming battle that might happen." "Oh yeah you probably don't know. Uh how do I tell you. Ok I guess there's no hiding now." Then I told her what is bound to happen if we don't stop it. "I see well it's a good thing the kids are training then right?" "Yeah it is. I just hope they are trained enough to fight. Like I said I only saw both Zee's and Kiran. I didn't see any of the kids killed. Although there were a lot of people who were hopefully they weren't there at the time." "Hmm oh yeah we should go see Magician with Knight. He might find out what this has to do with him." "Yeah lets wait for him to come home first." "I don't think we have to wait long here he is."

"Dad what's wrong? I felt that you were worried about something." "Oh good timing. Where is your sister?" "Oh she is hanging out with friends." "Ok well you me and your mother need to see Magician. Its serious." "Yeah ok sure." So we walked over to his place.

"Hey Magician are you here?!" "Yes just a moment please! Ow." Then after awhile he came over. "Still doing those strange experiments after all these years?" "Hey they are helpful when I get them right. I take it he is here because of the vision you had?" I nodded. "What vision dad?" "He needs to see this Knight." "I know I just didn't want him at this age to see something like this." "OK put your hand on the globe Knight." I did just that and Little Knight watched the Scene play out. "What does this mean? Are both Aunt Zee's going to die? Uncle Kiran too?" "No necessarily. There might be a way to stop it. Before that we need to find out what this has to do with you. It will happen after your 17th birthday which is soon." Said Magician. "Ok how does this involve me then?" said junior. "I will be right back I'll look for a certain book and see if it says anything."

He rummaged through a bunch of books and found it. "Ah ha here it is." Said magician. He walked over to us and plopped the book down with dust coming off. "Sorry sorry. Its been awhile since we had a white dragon. OK so lets see where is that page?" He looked in the table of contents and found the page. "OK here it is. When did he turn dragon for the first time?" "He was 3 years old we had to put a charm on him to control him. Why does that make a difference?" "Well that explains why the battle was a year later than normal. Usually it's the 16 that this usually happens. OK so it definitely has to do with possession for those two. Its also a test for Knight." "What do you mean test? Does the white dragon have some sort of quest or what?" Then we heard my birth father come in.

"Yes they do. I am a white dragon as well. I barely passed my test. I was 16 and almost lost my best friend." "What is the test grandpa?" said Junior. "Well every dragon is different. They have different tests. Is there anything that you think you lack? That is what they are probably testing you for. Also white dragons were born royalty. So maybe the gods are testing your strength. This happened with the primary colored dragons as well. Including your uncle Bain. Yeah I know him before too. I don't know how many are still out there. Only 3 primary colors were there and Bain is one of them. He was the red one that blew fire. The yellow one was my best friend he blew lightning. I don't know where he went. I haven't seen him since I was 20 years old. As for the Blue dragon he is your uncle Ezra. He is my brother. He went missing not long after the battle. We don't know what happened to him. If you see a blue dragon out there that shoots water let me know. Its most likely my brother." I was shocked for a minute because I knew an Ezra when I was a kid. I decided to tell him. "Uh Warren? I used to know an Ezra when I was younger. I think by now he would be close to your age. I don't know if he is your brother or not but he could be. He used to tutor me at uncle Bain's then he stopped because he moved. I think he said he wanted to move to the mountains." "Sigh yes that is definitely my brother. He always liked the mountains. If he is still alive I think I know where he is. As far as the white dragon is concerned when he turns 18 there might be a battle bigger than a one that is coming. I just hope its not as bad as the one that I had to endure. I was thinking maybe I can train him before and after this battle would that be ok?" "Well I think that would be best." I said. Eva agreed. "OK grandpa. When do we train?" "Uh I'll send word later when its time." "OK Grandpa." "OK does that help any of you?" "Yes thanks a lot warren." "Yeah sure no problem." Then we all left back home.

I told Eva wat Warren told me and she was worried about junior. "Do you think Knight will be ok?" "Honey hey will be fine." I hugged her until she was able to calm down. "He is only a teenager. He not an adult yet. He is only 16 he still needs his father and mother at his age to teach him the things he needs in life. I'm just so worried that something might happen to him with the upcoming battles." "I know babe. But its his decision on what he wants to do. He will be fine. Look at me. I survived pretty bad injuries. Heck I've died and came back to life. He has half my genes he is strong. If he's anything like me he will survive." "Ha if he's anything like you we are in trouble." She joked. "Ok now I know your feeling better if you can joke. "I'm serious do you know how much trouble you caused my parents, Bain and Quinn?" "Was I really that bad?" "Uh yeah!" Then we heard the door open.

"Oh Aria good to see you home. We have something to tell you." I said. "If its about the battle I already know. Knight told me." "Are you worried Aria?" "Is brother going to be ok? Mom I'm scared for Knight." "I said the same thing baby but dad said he is strong he's survived some pretty strong injuries he's even died and came back to life." "Really?" "Yeah with some help of course. I can still feel the pain from it too." I rubbed my chest. "Mom in the next 2 years I will be 16 years old and Knight will most likely live at grandpa's for time being. I will be living with the elves earlier than we said but I am staying with grandma so it should be ok. Will you both be ok alone without us I'm worried for you both." "Haha we'll be ok Aria trust us." "Ok mom and dad. I'm going to my room if you need me." "Ok Aria." I said.

"Knight what do you think of having another little one in 1 year or two?" "Well our kids are already teenagers are you sure you want another one honey? Its just another kid we have to worry about." "Oh its fine. Heck it would be better if they were twins." "Oh don't start honey taking care of these two are already a handful." "Yeah but they won't be living here much longer. They will have their own life. Plus I'm sure Aria would want a little brother or sister to care for. I'm sure she will look after the little one or ones if anything happened to us." "Honey nothing is going to happen to us we will be fine." "I know but just in cast." "Sigh well hopefully she will already be in her 20's by then. I know Knight will be." "Well then he can help take care of the kiddo's then." "Well lets let nature take its course if you do so be it. I just hope nothings happens until after this war though." "yeah me too." she said while leaning on me. I wrapped my arm around her waist hugging her back.

Aria walked out of her room and we saw her holding some things. "Oh what have you made Aria?" Eva said. "I wanted to show you these. I made them while I was in my room. My teachers showed me how to make weapons out of nature." She showed us how she made the bows and arrows, spears, and a sword. "Woah how did you make the sword?" "Oh my teachers taught me how to mine for metals and how to make swords in the forest." "Pretty cool Aria. You will be a good warrior." I said. "Thanks dad." Knight came back home because it was time. "Hey Knight how was class today?" "Ok I guess." "Did you tell your friends you will be leaving?" "Yeah I did Uh the girl I like said she would be moving over where grandpa is soon with her family so we can see each other once in awhile." "Oh so are you friends then?" "Yeah she said to wait until after graduation then we can start dating." "Yay brother will have a girlfriend soon." Ok enough you will be 16 by then too. Some guy will come up to ask you out too so be careful ok? I won't be there to protect you." "Brother I am a warrior now I'm sure I will be fine." "I'm not talking about that but your heart breaking. Be careful." "Yeah yeah." Then the kids went out to hang out.

It had already been a week now. In another week it would be Knights birthday. It was two days later that he came and got Knight to train him. Aria is still with us. She will be moving in with the elves after the battle and things calm down a bit.

I also train when I can since I could already turn dragon. By the time the battle starts I should be able to fly again. I can't wait. As for Eva she has been training with the elves since she found out about the battle as well. Well she has been training since she moved here. I actually train when I could between jobs. I already gave the pictures to Miles and Ria. They loved them of course. They have been getting stronger as well with the help of Magician to train for fighting off possessions. I of course was training with warren and my son. Aria with the elves and Zee said she will with the guardians. Everyone was training in their own way to help with the battle. Magician said "The future is never written in stone. It depends on the choices you make that will determine your outcome." I agreed with him. So now when I have a vision I know I can change it. It doesn't mean I won't worry. I can worry a little less. Right now I'm taking a break from training. Our bodies need to rest too or the outcome will be worse.

After training was done for the day I asked Knight what he wanted most for his birthday. I already knew what is was I hope its what I was thinking too. "Dad I want that sword. I know its real. The one you drew when you drew your dragon for the first time. I've read about it and grandpa said you have it." I cleared my throat. "Yes I do. Let me talk to your mother and grandpa then I will let you know if I can do that ok?" "Thank you! Thank You you're the best dad!" "Don't get your hopes up son." "I know dad if not I know you will give it to me on my 18th birthday." "Sure thing Knight."

I went to find warren and Eva was talking to him. I butted in. "Oh perfect I need to talk to you both." "What is it knight? Everything ok?" Said Eva. "Yeah its fine I need to talk to you both about something. Warren lets go into your office. You too Eva." "Oh ok sure."

We went to his office and I started. "Well as you know Knights birthday is coming up. I asked him what he wanted for his birthday. Do you know what he said?" "Sigh I can guess." Said Eva. "He wanted the sword didn't he?" "Yeah He did. I wanted to know what you both thought. Should we wait Until he is 18 or give it to him now?" I was quiet for awhile then warren said. "When did your father give you the sword?" "Well I was like Knight and wanted it for my 16th birthday but they waited for my 18th there was no battles on my birthday like there is for Knight now. I'm not a white dragon. I'm a blue." "I see. Hmm. Ok here is what I think. Bring the sword to the battle and when the situation gets dire then throw him the sword and after the battle I would take it back and wait for the battle until his 18th Birthday." I leaned back into my chair and said, "Yeah that seems like a good idea." I said. "What do you think Eva?" "Yeah I agree with that. Sigh I just hope he doesn't get hurt in the battle." "He will be fine Eva. He is strong."

After awhile we left and went back home. Luckily Bain was visiting at the time and was there for the kids. Knight was already waiting for us. "So dad? What's the verdict?" "Well your mom and I went to talk to your grandpa. We agreed that I would take the sword to the battle after your birthday. When the situation gets dire I would throw you the sword. After that I would hang on to it until your 18 birthday." "Sigh I knew it. Well at least I might be able to use it in battle. That's a plus." "Ok so what is the second thing you wanted for your birthday?" "Well….OK I haven't told you this and it probably won't be possible but, I've always wanted a griffon for a pet." "I see well we will see wait until your birthday ok?" "Thanks dad. Don't worry I won't get my hopes up. After that just surprise me." "Ok son thank you. Now go play with your friends."

"OK see you dad." "Sigh. Bain what was the other thing I asked for on my 16th birthday other than a sword?" "Haha you really want to know huh? I knew you would ask. Well they are very rare but you asked for some colored pencils that make the pictures come alive. I mean they come off the picture and only show up for like 30 seconds to a minute depending on how big the picture was it stayed shorter. The smaller the longer it stayed out of the picture." "Oh Uh." I scratched the back of my head nervously. "Did I get them? If so what did I draw?" "Haha well you liked to draw mythical things. Well thinks you thought were anyway. You drew dragons, Elves, Wizards etc." It only comes out once. I actually kept one of those drawings you made for me. Here. I always keep it with me." He took it out of his pocket and showed me. "Wait I drew this when I was 16?" "Yeah why is it important?" "Very. Uncle can I borrow this?" "Yeah sure." "I'll give it back. I need to go somewhere." SO I ran off with the picture.

I ran to magician's place and banged on his door. Magician answered. "Woah what's with the banging Knight?" "Its urgent." "Ok OK come in already." So I went in and showed him the picture. "Look at this? I drew this when I was 16. I didn't know them Until recently. Why did I draw them before I even met them? Did I have visions at 16 and now know it?" "There are cases when that does happen. I didn't think it would happen to you. Lets take a closer look at it." We went to another room and he used some tools to take a close look. "Hmm. Oh what is this?" "What is it Magician?" "Take a look for yourself." So I went to take a look and saw something strange. "What? No way I haven't seen this stuff since…" Then I shut my mouth. Magician said, "Since what?" Then I cleared my throat. "Magician do you believe in being reborn?" "Well I believe anything is possible. Are you saying you were?" "Yeah um the sickness my dad had….I had the same sickness. I died before I was 20 years old. When I woke up Eva was calling me. She was rushing for work. Baby Knight was in his bassinette. It was so confusing. I was also having some dizzy spells and not knowing why until later on I found out I was turning into a dragon. But this material….I haven't seen since the last time I went to my art studio. I didn't think I would see it in this time. Wait this time." I had a thinking face on. "What's up Knight?" "Oh nothing. I was just thinking about before I was reborn. If I had met Ria and Miles yet." "Have you?" "I Can't remember. Hey Magician? Is there a way that you can do some sort of hypnosis to make me remember my past life?" "Sigh. Yes but its dangerous. Last time I did this I almost killed the last Patient." "Its ok I will be fine." "OK don't say I didn't warn you. OK lay down here." I did as I was told and laid down on a bed of pillows. "OK now close your eyes. When I count backwards to ten you will be in a deep sleep." I closed my eyes and he started counting. "10…9….8 3….2…..1 OK now you are in a deep sleep. Now listen to my voice. Lets go slow lets go back to the time when you were 16. What happened then?"
