Tyfanie,
"So are you going to show me what you can do, as I heard that tartilians are almost as powerful as the deragons." Reipreyl said.
"Well you heard wrong, we tartilians are not nearly as powerful as deragons. You yourself are way more powerful than I could ever be" I said to him.
"Let's find out, shall we" he said. He moved back keeping a thirty feet distance between us, then breathed fire at me.
Acting on instinct, I raised a palm, then lifted two of my fingers, raising him and stopping his fire in midair. I then put up my other palm and closed it, extinguishing the fire. Reipreyl was still in the air, I brought him in close then threw him, dropping him exactly where he was standing.
He looked shocked at what had just happened, he lay there on the floor, not attempting to get up.
I myself was just as shocked, I never knew that I had the power to do that. I ran towards Reipreyl, wondering why he had not gotten up. I got to him and knelt beside him.
" I didn't think you could do that" he said, trying to get up.
" I'm so sorry, I didn't know I could do that either. I hope I didn't hurt you" I said.
" No, you didn't, I"ll be fine. How is it possible that you did not know you could do that?" he asked, standing to his full height, " haven't you ever used your powers?"
" No I have not. I have never needed to, but you provoked me with that little stunt you pulled."
"Well I am sorry, I knew you had it in you, if you didn't react I would have put it out."
" I'm sorry I threw you so hard" I apologized again.
I told you already, it's fine, I'm fine" he said.
"If you say so."
" I don't want you to feel like I'm kicking you out, but you have to go, I'm sorry. There are some things I need to sort out" he said.
"Oh, okay, there is no need to be sorry, I get it, you've got what you need to do, it's fine. I was just about to leave anyway. Goodbye then." I said as I walked out of the room.
"Tyfanie wait" he called out, running after me.
*************************************
I walked through the courtyards of dragon's fate, heading for the gate. I passed Naena watering the plants in the garden, she asked why I was leaving so soon.
"Hey, leaving already?" she asked.
"Yeah, your brother has stuff to do and so do I. I don't want my father thinking I'm lost again."
"Oh, alright, but promise you'll visit again, if not because of my brother, then for me."
"Okay, I promise."
With that I set off again, towards the gate, wanting to make it home before lunch. I stepped out of the gate, about to start my walk out of the forest. I heard footsteps behind me and turned, only to see Reipreyl running towards me.
"Tyfanie, wait up" he shouted. As he neared me he fell to his knees. "Your throw is still taking its toll on me" he said weakly.
"I'm sorry, but I thought you had things to do?" I asked him.
"You're offended aren't you?" he asked "because I asked you to leave."
"No I'm not, I understand, you have what you need to do and I need to head home anyways."
"Well I can't do much of anything in this condition, I won't be able to get anything done if I'm going to fall every few minutes" he said.
"When are you going to be okay?" I asked.
"The effect of your throw should wear off in about ten minutes, after that I'll be fine."
"Okay, well I have to go now."
"I hope you're not still angry?"
"I was not angry with you to begin with" I said.
"Okay then, you should start going, we don't want your family getting worried, do we?" he asked.
"No we don't" I said.
" Why did you come out on your own anyway, after everything that has happened you should have at least one guard with you whenever you have to go out and you shouldn't have come out today, you should be at home, resting after all you've been through. Why did your family let you leave? " he reprimanded me.
"I know, I know. In answer to your question, I snuck out, they didn't see me leave, my father left early for the knight training grounds, my mother was visiting one of her many friends and my sister was cooped up in the library, reading about your family lineage. So it was pretty easy to leave. I didn't want any guards coming with me to find you" I explained.
"You take a lot of risks you know, okay, you should leave now before they notice your absence, maybe I'll see you in town" he said.
" Yeah, goodbye"
"Keep safe"
"I will, promise" I said.
With that I turn around and start my journey home.

Reipreyl,
As soon as Tyfanie left I made my way to the lounging grounds where my parents would most likely be.
( IN THE LOUNGING GROUNDS )
I arrived at the lounging grounds to overhear my parents talking about me.
"Sooner or later, he is going to find that train and go to buttville land. I've seen his research on where to find the train" said my mother.
"He may never return if he goes, so what do you suggest we do?" asked my father. "because we need to make a decision quickly inorder to be able to stop him from leaving. He has a very determined spirit and would not listen to us without good reason."
"So what do you suggest we do?"
"Well, I don't know what to do about him now. He has become his own man, we can't just tell him not to go and expect him to listen. If he goes up there, we may never see our eldest son, ever again."
"I propose that we still try to talk to him, maybe if we sat him down and explained to him the danger he'll be putting himself into if he does go up there, then maybe he'll understand why we don't want him to go up there and stop his search for that stupid train" said my mother.
"We could give it a try, but if he doesn't listen to us even after that, then what? What would we do then?" my father asked.
" I don't know, but we still have to try."
As they stood up to leave I walked in.
"You told me last night that you wanted to see when I was free, I'm free now, so why did you want to see me?" I asked, pretending I didn't just overhear their discussion.
"My son, please take a seat, what we have to discuss with you is very important" said my mother, Fieralanda Deragon.
"I sat then said, "I know what you want to say. It is about buttville isn't it?"
"Yes my son, your father and I really don't want you to go up there. My boy, we know that you must be thinking that your parents are terrible and you must hate us for not supporting you in this, but please try and hear us out."
"Your mother is right son, please rethink your decision. Going up to that land is a suicide mission son, whatever is up there is very dangerous, we don't want you searching anymore son, forget that place, stop looking for the train, leave things as they are, please son" begged my father.
"You two just don't get it. I have to go, there is something up there, you know that as much as I do, so I need to go up there and get rid of whatever danger is lurking up there, if I don't go, that is when we'll all be in danger. I came to tell you that I'll be leaving for buttville in a week. I have found the location of the train. I have to go now, I just want you to know this, mom, dad, I love you two, but I need to do this, for the safety of all of us." With that said I got up and left the room.
.................................
Once I left the lounging grounds I went straight to my room to rest, I hadn't lay down since Tyfanie threw me across the room. Immediately I got to my room, I flopped on my bed and instantly fell asleep.
SIX HOURS LATER................
I woke up hours later, just in time for dinner. I couldn't believe I had slept for six hours straight. I went down for dinner and met my family already seated.
"I am so sorry I kept you waiting" I apologized.
" It's fine, sit down let's eat" said my mother.
We ate in silence, all of us focusing on finishing our meal. The silence was broken during dessert when my father asked "Naena has your brother informed you of his decision to leave for buttville in a week?"
Naena looked at me and answered my dad " No father, he didn't tell me anything."
"I was going to tell you Naena, right after dinner."
"Why are you even going up there Rei, you know that it's dangerous, so why do you have to go?" she asked.
"It's important that I do sis, it's for the safety of us all. We'll be in danger if I don't go" I explained.
"You promise you'll come back home" she said.
"I promise I'll do my best to come back home" I said.
After I had comforted my sister, I got up from my seat at the dining table "goodnight family, I'm going to bed" I said.
"Okay, good night sweetie" said my mom.
"Sleep tight son" said my dad.
"Goodnight Rei" Naena said.
With that I left the dining room and went to my room.
