It was finally the day before we had to leave. 'I'm going to miss this place.' I thought. I just had my treasures and a couple of changes of clothes just in case. They would already have clothes for me we were told. Also, for the others. I guess if I wanted girl time, I can have it with Jazmin. She would be the only girl with me but I'm sure I'll meet some girls at the palace and befriend them. Who knows what's going to happen.
Once I finished packing my bag, I collapsed on my bed only my feet were dangling. Then I heard a knock on my door. "Come in." I said while still laying on my bed with my feel dangling. "Ha-ha what's up? You, ok?" "Yeah, brother I'm fine." I sat up and said, "Its going to be a lot to deal with back there. Do you think I can be what they want me to be? Can I really help them? I mean I can't solve most of my problems. I usually have you or Hawk to solve them for me and Alana if it's a girl problem." "Ha-ha that's true but this is different sis. I'm sure you can do it. Plus, you will have your guards and Hawk to help you if you need it. If anything goes wrong, they will be at your side. Plus, you have Ezra there too." I blushed. "Yes, I saw the doodles of him before you can't hide them." I hit my brother hard. "Ow that hurt. They're not bad." "You have seen the prince before?" "Yeah, but I don't remember him much because I has 5 years old when Hawk was banished. He was there around that time I think it was because of Hawk." "Hmm I see. If you were there I must have been being treated for my wounds if I didn't see him." "Yeah, you were. I remember hearing that they almost lost you but brought you back." "Was it that serious?" "Yes, you were only 6 years old sis. you were still little it doesn't take much to harm a kid." "Yes well, I'm sure I'll have plenty more later on. Are you going to be ok without me brother?" "Well I won't say I don't miss you cause I miss annoying my big sis. Plus, our best friend will be going with you along with your guards Leo and Jazmin." "Yeah, I guess."
I grabbed my brother and started crying. "I'm going to miss you brother. So much." "Come on now sis. I thought you were stronger than this. Its not goodbye alright? I'll come visit you and you will come visit me, right?" "Yeah, but who knows when we will see each other again. Like you said you could have shorter hair by then and I…. Never mind." "You what? Have a couple kids with Ezra or be married to him?" I smacked him in the shoulder. "No, you idiot. I wasn't thinking that plus its too soon anyway. I need to know more about him first. Anyway I was gonna say I could be a leader of some gang or something maybe even head warrior or queen!" "Ok slow down now sis let's not get ahead of ourselves." "I'm not I'm just saying next time we see each other." "I'll miss you sis you can cry all you want tomorrow, ok? I'm here right now, aren't I?" "Yes, you are. Hey brother can you stay with me tonight since it's the last day I'll see you for a while?" "Yes of course sis. I'll stay on the couch." "No lay with me. I need to snuggle up to my little brother like old times." "Ok sure. Tonight, we will. For now, I have some business with Hawk go get a breather in the garden or something." "Oh, it won't be the garden but I know where I'll go." "Ok have fun."
I left to go where the warriors train. I watched them for awhile and was about to turn away when the head warrior called me. "Zelda! Can you come join us for a last training session?" They all ran up to me. I looked at them with their pleading eyes and I couldn't say no to them. "Oh, I hate it when you guys look at me like that. Why don you guys make that face I can't say not to it. Plus, I have this depression I have to get out of me anyway." "Yes! Ok everyone! Line up!" I changed into the outfit the goddess gave me and left off the cape. "Woah girl You look good." "Yeah, thanks the goddess gave me this one. I guess I'll know what's special about it when the time comes." "Ok who am I fighting?" "Well, I lined everyone up to let you pick which person you think is in better condition. Personally, I think its Zeke. You pick though." I looked around and decided to start off with Zeke. We spared without weapons. Then sparred with swords and other weapons. When we sparred with weapons, I saw my outfit get torn but it went back together. 'Cool I wonder what other things it can do.' I thought. Once I was done with him, I took a breather and sparred with the others one by one luckily there was only six of them I usually spar with.
Finally, training was done. "Thanks Talia I needed that." "Sure, no problem. So, what are you so depressed about? Leaving home?" "Mostly leaving my brother auntie uncle and you guys. Damnit here I go again." Talia is the head warrior. She sat with me and we talked until I finally started breathing normally from training. Then I grabbed by stuff and headed for my tree for the last time for a long time.
"Hello tree. I will be leaving you tomorrow. I don't know when I will be back but I promise I'll visit. You too cave. Forest, I'll miss you all. I climbed the tree for the last time. Waited for it to get dark. Once it was dark, I fell asleep in the tree.
I felt someone shaking me. "Hmm. Who is it?" I said Groggily. "Its me Hawk." "I know. What do you want?" "Are you coming home to go to bed? Your brother is waiting for you." "Oh yeah, I forgot. Can you carry me? I have no energy to walk." "Ha-ha yeah. How about princess style." "Ok but don't throw me into the river, ok?" "Ha-ha it's too cold right now and dark. Of course, I won't unless you deserved it." Then I quieted down and fell back asleep.
When Hawk got back to the palace Jet saw Hawk carrying Zelda. "Is she ok?" "Yeah, she is sleeping. She is going to miss the hideout so she visited it one last time. Here takes your sister." "Thanks Hawk. I'll be staying in sisters' room tonight if you are looking for me." "Ha-ha I figured. Its our last day after all." "Yeah, poor girl." "Anyway goodnight Bro." "Yeah night Hawk." Then he went to his room.
Jet brought his sister back to her room and had a maid change her so he stepped out of the room for a bit so they could and went to his room to change as well. He put on a comfortable shirt and shorts. Then he knocked on the door and a maid opened it. "Ok all good come on in." "Thanks." Then he laid next to his sister and when she felt him, she snuggled up to him and smiled she had a good night sleep that night.
It was the following morning around 9:30am maybe 10:00am, I was making sure I had everything. Since my brother was with me, he helped. "Ok well looks like you have everything." "Oh, the warriors are supposed to see us off. Plus a few villagers I want them to see Blizzard." "Ok sis. I want to see him too and tell him to take care of you."
I called Blizzard and he came down. I warned the others before hand that they need some space for him to land. The others crowded him and he didn't mind since I told him ahead of time. "You ok there Blizzard?" "Yeah, all good." He didn't mind them touching his scales. He said it felt nice. "Ok everyone I will miss you all." I saw my brother come up to me. "Brother. I will miss you." "I know sis. Here I want you to have these." "But these are…." "I know. These are what aunt and uncle gave me from mom and dad. I want you to have them. Think of me and them, ok?" He helped me put on the necklace and I put the bracelet on. Then I gave him a hug and squeezed him tight. "Its ok sis. I'll be ok and so will you. I love you sis." I love you to little brother." When he was hugging me, I heard him say, "Take care of her Blizzard." He nodded. Then I went to hug auntie and uncle and hopped on to Blizzard. I waved to everyone and when we were in the air, I watched them until they were out of sight. I decided to wear my outfit that the goddess gave me. I wore the cape and got the bow and arrow the whole set. The necklace and bracelet that my brother Jet gave me were cord chains but they had a dragon on them. Dad always liked dragons. It was a silver dragon holding a turquoise stone. It was the same on my necklace, except the stone was on a sword.
I was quiet until we were halfway there, then Hawk spoke up. "Zelda?" I took a deep breath. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just thinking of everyone back home that I'll miss." "Well instead of that why don't you think about the new people you will meet and make friends with." "I can try I guess." Then I leaned back on him and chilled until we got the rest of the way.
When we got to the kingdom everyone was shocked to see people on prince Ezra. They all knew who he was. Then not long after we made it to the palace field and landed. I saw the King, Queen and 3 other boys with them I assumed were Ezra's brothers. I saw Ezra turn back. I bowed to the king queen and the princes. "Greetings. Your majesties and highnesses." "Please rise. There would be no bowing to us here. We should be bowing to you. We hope you will be our salvation." Then they all bowed to me. "Oh, please don't. I'm not used to all this formality stuff." Then they all rose. "Good to see you back in human form Ezra. By the way beautiful dragon." "Yeah thanks. The dragons name themselves before they go to their human to be born. Just like werewolves." "Interesting." "Ok everyone let's get these 4 inside. They have had a long journey. Are you tired Ezra?" the queen said. "Slightly but I'll be fine." "Well why don't you get some rest too." "Let me show them to their rooms first." "Ok sure. Boys you are to leave your brother and the others alone until they are done resting got it?" "Yes mother." I laughed then followed Ezra to the rooms. "Ok this one is Zelda's room. Hawk yours is right next door on the right and Jazmin yours is on the left, Leo yours is right next to Jazmin. My room is right next to Hawks room. Ok does everyone remember?" "Yes, thank you." Then we went to our rooms and put our stuff down.
I sat in my new bed which wasn't different than my bed at home. "Hmm I wonder if I can contact Blizzard right now?" I concentrated and spoke. "Blizzard, can you hear me?" "Yeah, is everything ok?" "Yeah sorry to interrupt your resting time but do you have a forest like the one I have at home. A forest I can check out?" "Yeah, maybe later I'll have Ezra take you to it. See you later." "Yeah thanks." "Oh, and you can interrupt our resting time anytime just to talk." "Ha-ha ok thanks." Then I cut off the link.
Zelda fell asleep right after linking with Blizzard. It had actually been quite a few hours and people were starting to worry about Zelda. Jazmin knocked on the door but no answer. She opened the door and Zelda was fast asleep in her bed. Jazmin smiled. She put her hand on Zelda's forehead and had a frown. She went out and told someone to get a doctor Zelda had a fever. Someone heard that and ran like the wind.
Zelda was moaning in pain like she was in a nightmare. She was sweating big time. Then finally the doctor came in and saw how sweaty she was. Luckily the doc was a woman. OK all the boys out. I have to change her clothes and bedding." Then all the boys left and it was just Jazmin and the doctor. Jazmin held Zelda princess style while the doctor put clean sheets on and sponge bathed Zelda. Then they changed her clothes and laid her back on the bed. The doc did a check up on her eyes mouth muscles blood pressure and temperature. "Ok I will give her a shot to bring down her fever. Hopefully it will help her sleep better too. Looks like she was over tired." "Thanks doc." "If anything changes let me know. The boys can come in now if they want to." Then the doctor left and let the boys know it was ok to go inside. So, they did.
"How is she?" asked Hawk. "Well looks like she was over tired. Is what the doc said." Said Jazmin. "Yeah, she does like to over do it. This isn't the first time." "Yeah, we know. Poor girl."
It was late that night that Zelda was starting to wake up. It was around 10:00pm. "Hmm. Argh. Hawk are you there? Someone please. I need you." Ezra came running to her room. Since Blizzard felt her. "Hey its ok Zelda. Ezra is here. Blizzard is too." "Ezra. Thank you." Then she fell right back asleep. Ezra stayed with her the whole night and laid his head on her bed holding her hand.
The next morning. Zelda woke up a little weak. She looked down and saw Ezra. She thought it was a dream. "Ezra?" I said weakly. Ezra woke up. "Yeah, I'm here are you ok?" "I feel a little weak. Where are the others?" I don't know I was here all night. "Oh sorry. I didn't mean for you too." "Its fine. I wanted too. want me to get Hawk?" "Yeah thanks." Then he left and I tried to sit up but didn't have the strength.
