THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FALL
They all sat back and watched as Reipreyl proceeded further and further to the heart of Socratinus. Now he stood tall in the midst of all the people. He raised his palms to the sky and called on nature, all the plants and flowers suddenly sprung up and began to swirl in the air like a tornado, they then formed a shield that covered the whole of Socratinus, blocking the flakes from landing on the people.
He released ice arrows to the flakes which shattered them to pieces, but more kept on coming. He freed all the people held captive with just a wave of his hand. He brought them all together under the shield of flowers. He then used the lava that the people were put above, to fight the flakes. Many were destroyed, but more kept coming. He had to find a permanent solution to the flakes. He stopped for a moment, thinking, then he knew what to do. Reipreyl summoned all the power within him and called upon his dragon's breadth. He transformed from a young boy, to a terrifying dragon in the blink of an eye. Now, he used all his power to push the flakes back to the dragons realm, to machva, the place where the fall originated. He put them in as he transported his mind there. As he did that, he let out a blood curling roar. Then he sent all his power there to seal it, then he melted it. Now the realms won't be able to release their fear on each other ever again, since the home of their fear has now been destroyed.

Tyfanie,
We all watched as Reipreyl transformed back to his human body and fell to the ground. All of us immediately rushed to him, Ashprok taking the lead. When I got to him, I touched him, he was hot, extremely hot, he looked charred, as though he had been through a fire. We needed to cool him down. Ashprok summoned ice and put it over Reipreyl. Now two opposing forces were at work, ice trying to cool down the heat in his body, while the heat was absorbing the cold from the ice, melting it. When all the ice had melted, he was warm, but he still looked charred. Jaunte, his father, said we'll have to leave him in a cooling bubble for him to cool down. When his body is back to it's regular temperature, it should only be a matter of time before he woke up. We all hoped he'll be up soon, This journey will not be the same without him.
2 WEEKS LATER..........
Reipreyl was still unconscious and it had been two weeks. His body was getting cooler by the day. His mother had wanted to get him out of the bubble, but Jaunte told us that he has to wake up before we can bring him out. He said that the cold should wake him
"We are Deragons after all, so we already have a lot of heat and he summoned some more heat. So it'll take some time for him to completely cool off" he had said.
Now it had been two whole weeks and he was still unconscious.
2 MONTHS LATER.........
It had been two months and Reipreyl had still not woken up. He looked more dead than alive as his face was ghostly white, as well as his skin.
We had found the location of the evils in Socratinus. We teleported all the people Reipreyl freed to the dragons realm. We were able to block our whereabouts and our presence from the evils. We contacted the dragons realm and told the head Deragon: Paurei De-ragon, what we had discovered. He said he will send in two more dragons to help. They were supposed to come in today.
Time in Buttville moves a lot faster than time in the real world. In the real world only a week would have gone by, but up here, this is our second month.
We were awaiting the dragons that Paurei was sending, wait, it looks like they are here. As soon as the first person landed, Naena shouted "Rea" as she went to hug her. "Roretrente" shouted Ashprok when the second person landed. Apparently, the siblings knew them, I was told later on that they were all friends in the realm.
----------------------------------------------------------
Ashprok,
With Reipreyl outcold, the whole place just felt strange to me. It might be because we are twins or just because he is my brother.
When we spoke to Paurei, he said he'll send in two more dragons to help. Who knew those two dragons would be Rea and Roretrente. We needed to move to be able to desrtou the evils once and for all, but with Reipreyl's current condition, we couldn't do that.
Rea and Roretrente had been our friends since we were little. They were the only ones who were able to break down our walls and befriend us. We were known as the untouchables back in the realm. Not everyone was able to talk to us, even meeting with us was hard, so whoever did was privileged. As we were discussing the latest happenings in the realm, we heard a groan come from behind us. When I turned around, I realised it was Reipreyl that groaned, I immediately stood up and went to him.
He was awake, he was finally awake. I bursted the bubble and helped my brother sit up, before I gave him a hug. "I missed you bro" I said to him, he just groaned in response. I smiled, I was so happy he was awake.
After that, everyone hugged him one after the other. He locked eyes with Rea, but didn't smile at her, she herself did not have enough courage to approach him. He gave Roretrente a hug though.
Tyfanie had been standing at the edge of the mountain for some time, as though she was considering jumping off. She hadn't realised what was going on. She had been the most worried out of all of us, apart from mother. I made a move in her direction, when Reipreyl saw where I was headed he stopped me.
"I'll go" he said
"No way Rei, you just woke up from what could be considered a coma, you should rest, let me go get her."
"I'm fine Ash, I mean it, I've been resting for months, I need to stretch my legs anyway."
"Alright, if you insist"
He got up and walked towards her, when he got to her, he said something to her. She then turned around and hugged him. One could tell she was crying now. It was obvious that she cared about my brother, a whole lot too. Reipreyl had always been the distant one among the three of us, but it seems like those walls had been broken, again.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Reipreyl,
When I regained consciousness, I could tell everyone was pleasantly surprised. Ashprok was the first to come to me, he helped me sit up, then hugged me. "I missed you bro" he said. I missed everyone to be honest, while I was unconscious, I could hear everything around me, but I just couldn't open my eyes or will my body to move. I couldn't respond to Ashprok, my mouth refused to form words yet, so I groaned, to let him know I heard what he said. After Ashprok, I received a round of hugs. I noticed that Rea and Roretrente had come from the realm. I hugged Roretrente, but not her. I knew he understood why I didn't, why I couldn't bring myself to. It's been a long time since she did what she did, I had forgiven her a long time ago, but that didn't mean we could still be friends. Rea was one of my close friends, but she betrayed me.
( FLASHBACK )
We had been preparing for this ambush for five months and the time had finally come to attack. As we got to the enemy camp, I saw a familiar face talking to their leader, Osmothe. She was obviously flirting with him. He pulled her close to him and kissed her, before leading her to his tent. As he turned her around to kiss her at the mouth of the tent, I saw her face, it was: Rea. I never thought she'd do this to me, do this to all of us. She had obviously sold us out, when I took a closer look at our surroundings I could see all of Osmothe's men hiding in the shadows, waiting for us to make the first move.
We had to retreat, I could not risk the lives of my men. As they saw us retreating, they made their way back to their tents. I stayed back with Roretrente. We both wanted to confirm what we saw. So we walked to Osmothe's tent, not making a sound. As we were getting closer, we began to hear disturbing noises. Roretrente opened the the tent flap and what we saw scarred us for life.
On top of Osmothe was a naked Rea, obviously enjoying what was happening between the two of them. I cleared my throat and they immediately looked at us. I locked eyes with Rea. I was so disgusted and thoroughly disappointed. I knew she could see the disappointment and anger swimming in my eyes. I can't even begin to imagine what Roretrente was feeling.
" This is the worst disgrace I have ever had to bear in my life" I said. I looked over at Roretrente who was looking at their position. She quickly picked up her dress, got off Osmothe and covered herself.
Osmothe who was clearly uncomfortable with the whole situation, started stuttering
"I- I- I didn't k- kn- kn" but we cut him off " Don't bother telling lies Osmothe, if you don't want trouble from the realm, you and your men, leave this place at once and never come back." As I said that, he quickly got his things and scurried out of the tent. We turned around to leave, but we both stopped and looked at Rea and I said "I am ashamed to have had you as a friend" at the same time Roretrente said "I am ashamed to call you my sister." "The dragons council will hear of this" I said. With that, we left Rea in the tent where she officially ended our friendship.
( FLASHBACK OVER )
