From the day I put the necklace on I have been having many, many dreams. The first dreams were the battle, Then I keep seeing a man, women, and child run into a wooded area. Then I see The man and women die. Then I see a young girl growing up. The dreams keep changing, and they are driving me crazy. Finally I decide to go talk to my mom about everything.
"Mom do you really believe in that past life stuff, because I think I have one. And it is making me crazy." " Yes, you know I believe in past lives, Tell me about yours. Maybe I can help you sort it out. Maybe we can fix it, just tell me about it." " Well mom you know I have been having dreams for the last six month or so. Well since I got the necklace the dreams are changing and it's freaking me out." "Why do you say that? What's changing about them?" " Well you know about the battle right. You said it sounded like the dragon war from last year. well all the dreams are, The first dreams were the battle, Then I keep seeing a man, women, and child run into a wooded area. Then I see The man and women die. Or at least I think they die. Then I see a young girl growing up. And the man and women are not with her. The dreams keep changing, and they are driving me crazy. Mom I think these dreams are telling me to find that girl. what do you think mom?" " From the way it sounds I think you might be right. I think maybe this weekend we need to go to the dragon lands and see what we can learn."
"What should we take if anything? What should we expect to see? It has been over a year since the war. Do you think they at least cleaned up after the slaughter. Or do you think all of those poor people are still where they fell?"
" I don't know honey, we will find out when we go there. Are you sure your up to it though? After all these dreams I'm not sure what to expect."
" I don't know either mom, but I feel like I have to go. There is something pulling me there. I can't explain better than that."
"Okay so tomorrow we get everything we need for the journey together and we leave the day after that. So today we need to get our choirs done so we can be ready to leave."
For the rest of the day we cleaned the house, put things we had in a pile to get ready for the trip, and made lists of what we still needed to get for the trip. The next day we got everything we didn't have and packed it up. Then we went to bed early that night.
We left at five a.m.. We caught the tram to the bus station, then from there the tour bus took us to the outskirts of the dragon lands. We had to walk from there because the buses didn't go any further. By about ten a.m. we made it to the gates of the Royal Palace. I started getting a headache so I took soon of my powders. mom thought it would be best I bring them and I guess she was right.
As we walked past the gate that was being held on by one hinge something strange started to happen. I grabbed mom's hand as we walked further because I started seeing the strange flashes. When we came to the first pile of bones I bent down to touch them with trembling fingers. I looked up at mom and said," Mom I know who these people were. I can see them whole. It was three men and a women. This one fell first, and the other three closed ranks on him to try to protect him. But the five vampires took them down like they were nothing. Mom what does this mean. Who am I?"
"Keep going honey, we will find out before the day is done. Then maybe you can rest."
We continued walking until we came to the first row of houses. I couldn't help it, I had to look inside. I saw the bones of women and children huddled together in the corner.
" Why didn't they go to the safe room? They would have had a better chance there."
"What safe room? What are you talking about? Show me, we need to know."
I look at mom and then start walking again. We go strait to the castle at the top of the hill. I go to the basement and pull a candlestick to the side. The room is full of bones. These people were slaughtered. You could see many with their throats ripped out. others had their heads cut off. The women who were pregnant had stab wounds in their chest and stomach. I couldn't help it I started crying then. Mom helps me leave the room.
" Can you go on? We have to finish this. I'm not sure who you were yet, but it's obvious you were dragon. you know to much about the castle. We have to find what your looking for."
"I'm sorry, but this means you true daughter passed on. Why are you helping me if you know I'm not really her?"
"Because honey, if you are here than that means she thinks you need my help. And to be honest I think you do. We both knew she wasn't very strong and would leave early but she was spiritually strong and I believe she felt your pain so she let go so I could help you. And don't worry, first we need to figure out what one of the great people you were so we can finish the rest of the puzzle. So if your ready let's move on."
"Thank you mom, but I'm not sure where to go from here. This room is the most important thing to remember so far. But maybe we should follow the battle more."
"That's a good idea let's go. I say we need to head around the castle, that seams to be where the battle was going."
Once we got outside I turned to the left. Not only were there trees on this side of the castle but there were more body's over here. We got to the back of the castle and there was a body near a door. I bent down to touch the chain mail armor. Then all the sudden the field changed, I was standing in the middle of the middle of the battle. The person closed the door as she watched three people run into the forest. Good bye my love I pray I see you again. Then a sword is thrust through my back and I fall to the ground clutching the necklace. I die right there. The field goes white and I fight not to move on. The field turns blue like the sky and I see the king and queen of the dragon's.
I see you found your way back my daughter. And thank you for bringing her here. We still have work for you both. I shall ask you elf if you are willing to help our daughter get revenge for her people and save the princess before the council finds her."
"It would be my honor oh great dragon king. I will do what I can to help her find her daughter. I was never okay with what the council did and I believe they need to pay."
"Thank you elf, your daughter said you would help but we wanted to ask first. This will be hard, but we will tell you what we know. First of all the prophecy the council wanted stopped will happen. The child who they wanted destroyed is still alive. They got the year wrong. She was three years old already when this tragedy happened, but her aunt and uncle saved her. We have watched over her as much as we could. She is in the human realm, and that is where you both must go. The time goes by differently there so here you will be gone a few weeks, but there it will be years. You must both teach her her powers as well as learn your new powers my daughter. Both you and your daughter will destroy not only the council but the vampires that destroyed you. You should also know there are twenty other dragons who escaped to the human realm. The Necklace you wear will let you know when they are near. Bring them home to rebuild your race. We Will open the portal to your daughter, go my daughter and good luck."
" I'm sorry, just one question. How do we get back?"
"After you have found the missing twenty dragons and your daughter. you will need to train for a bit. learn your powers. Then five years from today come back to these woods and we will bring you home."
"Thank you father dragon, we shall return soon."
" Sire may I ask a question? If we are gone five years won't we be missed here? Won't they know something is going on?"
"No my child five years in the human realm is a week on this side. The elves and the council members won't even know your gone. We have taken precautions to protect you both. You will be safe, and come home stronger than when you left. You should also know there are elves in the human realm who want to get rid of the council as well. This pendant will let you know when you come close to them. It's up to you what you do next."
"Thank you Sire, I will do my best to help destroy them any way I can. Is my daughter in a better place now? She was in so much pain before?"
"Yes your daughter is happy and healthy, but does not want to see you for many more years yet. She wants you to live a long healthy life."
"Thank you Sire, I am ready to go now. And I promise to do my best for you and her."
"Then enter the forest and go through the light. We will see you in five human years."
With that we enter the forest and walk into the light. When we come out on the other side I step right in front of her.
