Chapter 7 - Chapter 7:Untitled

The teacher put her hand on Zelda's head and found out what exactly it was. She tried to communicate with it to try to get her energy back. But it kept telling her it was for her safety. Her powers are coming quicker than they should and that it had to suppress quite a bit of energy to hold it back. Since it was the first time of course she would pass out. In times she will get used to it and she will be fine. Until then she needed rest. Then she let go of Zelda's head.

"Well, it looks like we can't do much other than teach you what you have to do. Someone is holding back her powers. They had to use a lot of her energy to hold them back. They are coming in too quickly. In time it will feel normal. Until then she will need to rest. So, what you need to do Elektra. Did you see what I did? I put my hand on Zelda's head and concentrated. See if you can communicate with what is holding it back." "Yes ma'am." She did as se was told and concentrated. "Hello Elektra." It said. Then she let go. "I saw it. Does she really have that inside of her? No wonder it will take two of us. It might even take more!" "Relax child. In time you won't need more. You two will be strong enough to help her. As for Nova. There could be a time where she would need your help. This is the time where you would need to combine your fire and ice to make a new weapon. That weapon can save her life. As for helping her in this situation you will be giving her your strength. All you would have to do is hold her wrist. Both of you can actually give her strength to help her. Let's try it now." They both held her wrist. "Ok now concentrate. Think about giving her your energy."

"Ok good. You're doing it. Nova, you need to stop. You look like your ready to pass out." He stopped and waited for Elektra. She at least knew when to stop. "Ok now let's wait a few moments to see if she will wake.

About 20 minutes later she woke up. "Hmm. Where am I? What happened to me. I feel so weak." "Its ok Zelda. I am sorry for what happened. The creature inside of you had to take some energy. Your powers are coming quicker than we thought. She has to use your energy to keep them at bay and only let them out a little at a time." "Hmm I see. Thank you, Elektra and Nova. For giving me some energy to wake up." "Oh, pardon me. I didn't introduce myself if this commotion. My name is Rena. I am your magic teacher. Now Let's get Zelda back to the castle to rest." "Yes Ma'am." Said Elektra.

Nova carried me princess style. It was a bit embarrassing. But I had to deal with it. We got closer to the castle and Ezra saw Nova carrying me. "What happened to her." "She will be fine in a few days." Said Elektra. "We will explain once we get her to her room." "Here I will take her." Said Ezra. "Yes, your highness." Then He took her and the assistants followed us into the room. "So, what happened?" asked Ezra. Then they told him all about what happened and that a creature that is part of her was holding back her powers. "I see and what sort of creature is it?" "No one really knows. Once it comes out, we will know for sure." "Oh, is that how it works? Interesting. Well thank you for taking care of her." "Its our job your highness." Said Elektra. "You know Electra, you don't have to be serious all the time. Take your brother for example he is serious when it comes to helping her but can be playful too. Maybe you can learn a few tips from him." "I do know how to be playful. I just choose not to at the moment. I only do it when it calls for it." "Hmm. Ok then. Suit yourself. So how long does she have to rest?" "Hang on let me check." She put her hand on my head and closed her eyes. I felt the strange animal inside of me communicating with her. "OK done. He said about 2 or 3 days she should be fine. Even after that she shouldn't use to much power. Little at a time would be good." "I know that much." I said. "I wouldn't use a lot at once anyway. At least to test it." "Ok get some rest now. I'll have Hawk stop by later." said Ezra. "Wait Hawk it back?" said Elektra surprised. "Yes, he is. Do you need to see him?" "Yes please. I have some business with him. Come brother." "Yes sis." see you later Zelda." Said Nova. I chuckled. "See you later Nova." Then when they were gone, I closed my eyes. I felt like my energy just got Zapped from me.

A few hours later, I heard my door open but I couldn't move. I couldn't even open my eyes I was too drained. I felt someone touch my head. I recognized it. Its Hawk. I groaned and scrunched my eyes. Something didn't feel right in my body. Hawk new something wasn't right so he called Elektra and Nova. They rushed over and saw the condition she was in. Elektra put her hand on my head and concentrated. I felt them communicating again. I kept trying to fight whatever the hell it is making me feel this way but its not helping. Then finally Elektra took her hand off of my head and said something. "The creature inside of her is saying he can't hold the powers back much longer. Something is pushing them to come faster. WE don't' know what." Said Elektra. "We need to get our teacher Rena here and fast." "Oh, she isn't far. She had a feeling something like this would happen. I will go get her." Said Hawk. He ran to go get her and tell her what is going on.

Rena got there in no time. "Something is pushing the powers back further huh?" "Yes, what sort of things can do that? Maybe we can figure out?" "She isn't looking so good. Uh there are some things. Having so many things to think about and not concentrating on something else, another power pushing it forward, forcing them out, many things. That's all I can think of though." Said Rena. "That explains a lot then." Said Hawk. She said she had a lot to think about. She has her parents' death on her mind. She is trying to figure out how they died and why. Then she was told she had an arranged marriage with prince Ezra. Those would most likely be strong enough to force powers don't you think?" said Hawk. "Sigh. Is she still on about that? Geez. Why does she have to know so bad? I was there the day they were killed. I was late meeting them so I didn't see what happened just that they were close to death. I'll tell her what I know when she wakes up. Maybe it will give them some clue what happened." Said Rena. "You were there?" said Hawk. "I was there for their last moments. Did her brother survive as well?" "Yes he did. He is the crowned Prince. Their aunt and uncle raised them on their mothers' side." "I see. That's good then. Well, they had a message for both of them. Once she wakes up, I will give her the message from them. Elektra. Try to see if you can get ahold of that creature again." "Yes ma'am." She put her hand on Zelda's forehead and tried again. "Ok I'm in contact." Then Rena put her hand on Elektra's shoulder and communicated with the creature. "Hello again. Is there a way you can communicate with Zelda? I have some news about her parents. We are thinking that is what is causing them to come so fast. Maybe it will help calm things down." "Sigh. I can try. I don't know how much help I can be." Then they let go to give him a minute to try.

"Zelda. Zelda. I am the creature inside of you. Your teacher Rena has some news for you about your parents. So, calm down the strength of the feeling of finding out about your parents. It's what is causing this commotion with your powers." "I'll try." I said in my head. Then I tried willing myself to calm down a bit. "Good. Very good. Now it's not forcing through anymore. You should wake up soon." Not long after she talked to me, I started waking up. "Hmm. Pant, pant." I slowly opened my eyes and the light was bright. Hawk saw me and noticed. He went to my curtains closed then to help dim the light.

"How are you feeling?" Said Rena. "Weak. What about my parents? Do you know what happened?" "I don't know what happened. But I can tell you I was there for their last breath. They gave me a message from them to tell you." "Yes, what is it?" "Ok I will tell you. Do you want to sit up first?" "Here I'll help her." Hawk and Ezra helped me sit up. "Thanks guys. "Ok now what did they say?" "Well first I need to tell you that I was supposed to meet them somewhere. I was supposed to meet them at a place near the dragon kingdom. It was near a special tree in the forest. When I found them, they weren't even in that part of the forest yet. They just barely left their place when I found them. Their condition." "What about their condition? What did the wound look like?" I said. "It was, claw marks Zelda. But it wasn't a dragon or a wolf. That's when I ran to them to find out happened. Now this is the part you won't like. People were saying that what killed your parents was a beast. At least according to the papers. It might have been your beast." "What I killed my own parents? NO. I couldn't." "We don't know for sure. But I remember what they looked like so if I saw them again, I would know. Now as for what your parents said, they left of message for both of you. When your brother comes to visit, I will tell him their message for him. As for you, they said,

(Mothers POV) "I didn't let them have her. They were after her. That is why they attacked us. Let her know its not her fault. We love her very much. They will come after her again. Please protect her. Let her know not to worry about us so much. It will cause her powers to come through to quick. I have something to give her once she accepts being the Dragon Princess. I can't hold on much longer. I wish I could have raised her. Send her to my brother's place along with her brother. I love them so much and thank you for everything Rena. I'm sorry." Then she died on the spot.

(Fathers POV) "Just like her talkative mother said, Don't let her blame herself. We love her very much. If her powers get to much or the beast inside her is causing problems, Cough, Cough. Please seal her. Don't let her drag on so much about how we died. I know she will want to know how we died and nothing can stop her. Don't let her drag on about it. It can cause her to get sick. Like her mother said. I also have something to give her when she Accepts herself. Its in the same place as where her mother's is. Its in the tree where her mother's is. I too thank you for everything Rena. Tell her and my son, I love them very much. Their mother loves them too. I too am sorry." Then he died.

"So, my parents died trying to protect me. They told me not to blame myself. So, are they telling me that I was the beast that killed them? Is that why they told them to suppress the beast inside?" "I don't know. I just know what they said. They didn't mention anything about who or what killed them?" "No, I'm afraid not." "My old place where was it?" "Don't tell me you are planning to go back there." "No way. Are you crazy?! I wouldn't go out and kill myself with no back up. So, what is it that they had for me?" "When you are better though I will take you to the tree. I put a spell on the tree so that only you can touch it after I found out." "Ok I will do my best to get better. Thank you, Rena. Don't worry I don't blame you. I just wish someone was there to save them." "Yeah, me too." Then I closed my eyes in tears. Everyone watched her with pity.

"Ok all of you out. I'll stay with her in case something happens." So, everyone listened and slowly walked out.

I was trying to have a conversation with my beast, but she wasn't listening. Maybe she was and ignored me because she really was the one who killed them. Then I heard my beast speak. "Woah now. Don't get ahead of yourself. If I really did kill them, I wasn't conscious either. Let's just see what they say. Let's find out what the pictures looked like. Then I can tell you if it was me or someone like me. that much I can tell you." "Ok when I get my strength back, I will go find out after I get what it is they left me." "Get some sleep. You should be fine in the morning with some of my strength." "OK. Uh whatever you name is. Thank you for being there for me." "You're welcome. Oh, and I will tell you, my name. Its Toki. Now go to sleep. You'll be fine in the morning." Then I relaxed. In no time I was in a deep sleep.

The next morning, I slowly opened my eyes. "Ah." I hurt slightly but I'm good. Rena heard me and came over. "Are you ok? I heard you hiss." "Yeah, I'm fine now. My beast gave me her name. Its Toki. She said that night if it was her, she wasn't conscious either because she doesn't remember. It could also be someone like her she said. She wants to know if there are pictures of the wounds on mom and dad. "Yes, I have a way to show you than look for the pictures. Now when I show you don't be too shocked ok?" "I'll try not to." "Ready Zelda?" "I am." Then I talked to Taki. "Yes always." "Ok we are both ready." Then she held my hand and showed me what she remembered. I closed my eyes too to focus.

After I saw the wounds long enough, I quickly took them away. "Those wounds. I've seen them before." I said. "Last year there was a man with the same wounds. My aunt told me to stay out of the room. When they left, I snuck out. The man was already dead and had a sheet over his head. I snuck in and took the blanket off of him. Then I saw the wounds." I told Rena. "Does Taki remember last year?" "Yes, and it wasn't me. That I know for sure. Looks like they tried to make it look like my kind did it. So, it might not have been me that killed them. They did say someone attacked them, right?" 'Yes.' I said in my head. "What did Taki say?" Then I told her. "Hmm that is possible. They did say they were attacked but not by who or what." 'Taki. Do you know what could make it look like your kind did it?' "Yeah, either they killed my kind and used its claw or that had a weapon of some sort that made it look like that." 'Ok thanks. Rest now.' I told Rena what she said. "Ok that makes since. I'll go tell the King." "Wait I'll go with you. I'm sure Ezra is there. I need to tell him something. Let me get cleaned up first and changed." She left the room to give me privacy.

About 20 minutes later I was ready. "Sorry I took so long. Lets go." "Ok." We walked over to a butler and asked him where the king was. He said last time he saw him he was in his office. I thanked him and we headed there.

We got to the office and the guards announced us. They let us in. "Hello your majesty." I said. "Hello Zelda. Good to see you feeling better." "Yes, thank you. We have some things to tell you." Ezra was there and we told him to stay he needed to hear this too. We left out about the part of their last words to me and my brother. "I see. That helps a lot. I'll have my people look more into it." Ezra, I need to talk to you in private. At our special place if you don't mind your highness?" "NO go ahead. I won't tell your assistants don't worry." Then we hurried over to the forest.

"Ezra I'm thinking of doing something really stupid. I even told my beast Taki. She thinks it's stupid too but she will protect me. She finally remembers where I lived. I am going there to see if anyone knows anything." "Don't' worry I'll have my two dragons with me. Who knows I might gain another one or 2 over there. I can't promise I won't get hurt but I promise I won't' die." "Your right it is stupid. Its suicide!" I know. I'm going to have Blizzard and Levi with me. My assistants and guards as well. Elektra's power won't work on me. so, she can't do anything. I'm too strong." "Sigh. Fine. I can't stop you, can I?" "Nope. I Know I'm stubborn. I get my stubbornness from my father." "Ok let's go and tell the others. Tell the King that we are going out on Dragon princess business. He will understand." "Good idea.
