Before I can think anything I drifted off to sleep. I found myself in a field. Is this the goddess place again? All I remember is just going to sleep. "H-Hello? Anyone there?" Then I heard a familiar voice that wasn't the Goddess' Voice. I turned around and it was my parents and a man that looked like Arrow. "Mom? Dad?" They both nodded. "You must be Jasper. Arrow's father." "Yes I am." "Are you all here to tell me something?" They looked at me at the same time. "That is the only reason I'm sent somewhere this beautiful." "You got it right on the dot sweetheart." Said mom. "Mom. Dad. Something has happened that Jet and the others won't tell me. I've met Arrow. I knew him when I was younger as Tiger at the fighting arena. He is an interesting fellow. Jasper he took after you. As for what kind of demon he is no one knows." "Honey everything will be ok don't worry. We know you have a bad vibe about what they are hiding but don't worry ok? If something bad does happen your brothers and your dragons will protect you. That is what they are for." Said dad. "OK so what is the thing you want to tell me? Let me guess its about trusting my brothers and my dragons. That is all I am hearing. I just need to hear something else or I will lose it."
"Well we are here to tell you that and something else. The battle is closer now then we thought. So whatever they have to tell you will most likely tell you sooner if you told him that. We don't know when but you will hear from her soon." "Mom I have a question for you. While I am here I want to ask. Why did you leave Arrow when you left? What happened?" "Sigh well Jasper and I were in love at the time. It was a forbidden love. Arrow was an heir that he needed. We agreed for him to stay. I gave him a necklace to remember me by. I'm glad he is doing well. You can tell him if you wish." "Father, did mother tell you this?" "I was fine with it sweetheart." "Mom, Dad, I miss you. I just wish, I wish you were alive. I need you more now than ever." "We know baby girl." Said dad. "We are sorry. If you need us then why don't you have your aunt and uncle stay with you until the battle is over. They can help you." "But Dad. They are king and Queen. They can't come and help me." "Well your brother will be crowned king soon enough." "Yes but father I need my whole family right now. I know I can't just up and leave but I need my birth family right now. I just don't know what to do?" Then went over and hugged me. Since I was in my head they were solid and can hug me. "I'm sure the goddess has something planned don't worry ok?" Once I calmed down I looked at Jasper.
"Sorry Jasper sir. I didn't mean for you to see family drama." "Its ok Princess. I'm sure you have a lot of questions. I came here to tell you something that I want you to tell my son Arrow." "I figured as much. So what is it you wanted to tell me?" "Well first of all I know you heard from Taki that I am famous for the bad things I have done." "Yes. But she also told me you wouldn't do it without a good reason. She said you were a good person but you liked to go overboard. Are you a prince or king? Oh sorry I guess it is was now since your dead no offence." "None taken. As for your question, I was. But then someone forced themselves on the throne and there was nothing we could do. Arrow's stepmother and I had to run and ended up in the village where he grew up. We had to pretend that Arrow was her son. If they found out the truth, he would have killed Arrow and your Mother. So when she found out who I really was we talked about it and decided it was best that she leave. She wanted to keep Arrow but I needed an Heir. So she left with a broken heart."
"Mom I'm so sorry. I didn't know." "You weren't supposed to know sweetheart but I'm glad you do now. What is Arrow like?" "Oh well we were childhood friends. When I was about 7 1/2 I was old enough to go to the kids fighting Arena. That is where I met him. His fighting name was Tiger. I chose Tyra. When I was 10 years old Auntie and uncle had me stop visiting Ezra. So I couldn't go to the Arena anymore. Before I left I told Arrow to meet me at our spot. When I am back I will come find you. So the day of the shift I went to the fighting arena. Ezra surprised me. Then after I asked the announcer if they have seen Tiger. They said not since I stopped. Then after my shift sometime I found him. Since then we have been really close."
"I'm glad honey. I'm sorry that you had to be the next princess. It must be such a burden." "It can be at times. Sigh but its worth it. Like I told Denzel, no one had to be blood to be family. I'm sure you guys know his brother." "Yes he tells us about him a lot." "That's good. Well I guess its time for you all to go?" "For us it is. Jasper has something more to tell you." They came over and hugged me tight. "I miss you all so much." "We miss you too. We are proud of you honey. You look a lot like your mother as well as Arrow. We are also proud of Jet. Let him know that too. That he grew up handsome and he looks just like his father which is true." "Thanks mom and dad. Now be at peace." They disappeared and it was just me and Jasper.
"Do you think it was cruel to do what we did?" "No I don't. You did it to protect mom and my older brother. Thank you for that. I'm sure once he knows what really happened he would think the same thing. What did you want me to tell Arrow?" "Tell him I'm proud of him. As for where he got to be the demon he is, I couldn't say while my father was alive now I can. He got the demon from his grandfather. My father. He is the same demon just a different color. His is a reverse color of what he is. Red demon with green. Just tell my son I am sorry for lying to him. I was just trying to protect him. To hold that necklace he wears close to him. I gave the necklace to your mother when we started dating. Then when she left she gave it to him. I am so proud of the man he is. I love that man from the bottom of my heart I used to have." "I will tell him. Also if you don't mind me asking sir." "Oh just call me Jasper I am dead now remember?" "Yes fine. Jasper. Who was the one that stole the throne? Please tell me it wasn't my family or Ezra's." "No so don't worry. Also we don't have to worry about problems anymore so I'm not worried. I guess that he did us a favor. I got to spend time with my family and be a blacksmith for awhile before I died. As for who stole the throne if you really want to know it was Leon. The man who killed your parents. Also is about to start a war. So what happens when he leaves the throne?" "Well I guess they will either find a new family or abandon the castle. No one really knows. Now as the thing I was supposed to tell you. I will tell you the same thing that your parents told you. Trust in your friends and family. They will protect you. I can assure you." "Sigh I know. Thank you. Well I guess that means that you have to leave now and I have to go back?" "Yes looks like it. Thank you for being there when you could for my son. He was a wreck when you left. Tell him his mother and I are always watching. So is your parents. Oh tell Denzel his brother is as well. Although I'm sure his brother will visit him shortly." "Thank you for everything. The time I spent with you and for bringing arrow into this world. Without him I don't know where I would be." "Haha I should be saying that. Thank you and please continue being his family." "I will you don't have to worry." Then I closed my eyes and woke up.
I found myself in my bed which was strange because I remember being in the tree in our spot. Probably a long time again. It must have been late afternoon. I got up and took a shower and changed into my fighting clothes. I got downstairs and I was surrounded by all of my dragons and siblings. "Woah everyone. Easy now. What happened? Last thing I remember I was in a tree then I woke up here." "little sis that was a week ago. When you were gone for a full day we got worried. Ezra, jet and I went into the forest and found you on the ground. You must have fallen out of the tree." "Haha funny. I've never fallen out of a tree in my sleep." Then I saw everyone's worried face. "Really? You found me on the ground? How the hell did that happen?" "We don't know. All we remember is when we found you, you were whimpering in your sleep calling for mom and dad." "Oh crap please tell me that is all I said." "You told them not to go. That Is all we heard so don't worry. You didn't say anything else." "Oh thank god. Arrow and Jet. I need to see you two alone please."
So I took them into the forest and told them what our parents said to them. "I see so my father really did protect me. This necklace really was from my mother. No wonder I have such an attachment to it. As for grandfather I never met him and I don't know much about him. I can't wait for this battle. If I don't cut him to shreds I hope someone else does." "Easy now Arrow Take a deep breath." I said. "I'm glad father is proud of me. I might need to take a trip back home for awhile. Is that ok?" "Yes take as much time as you need." "Thank you." Then he left and it was Jet and I. "Jet there is something else mom and dad told me. No matter who I talk to they say to trust you and Arrow. Also the dragons that are with me since they are sworn to protect me. Trust my family and friends they said. Then they told me the battle is nearer than they thought it was going to be. So before long I will get work from the goddess and that you will have to tell me what is up sooner than you thought. That you all would never hurt me. I know none of you would do anything to hurt me. I love you all." "Yes we do Zelda. You don't know how much we love and need you. I have to talk to the others and tell them the news. Expect to hear from us tomorrow what you wanted to know ok?" "Yes thank you brother." He nodded then left. It was just me now. 'Hey I am here too you know.' "Yeah sorry Taki. Well what should we do now?" "Well the only thing we can do before a battle. Beat the crap out of people." "Lets do it girl." "Yeah." So I jogged back to the others
"Ok are we training today then?" "Yes but before that please come here Zelda." Said Zoe. I brisk walked over. "What? Is everything ok?" "Yeah its fine. Is it true what Jet told me about the battle coming soon?" Then my face changed to a serious one. "Yes it is. When I saw my parents they said I should be hearing from her sooner than she had hoped." "I see thank you." "Sure uh where is Denzel?" "Oh he is at the training grounds talking with Jay." "Ok thanks." So I jogged over there. I waited until they were done talking then I saw Jay walk away. "Oh princess what a pleasant surprise how are you feeling?" "Fine. Anyway have you been supervising Denzel? How is his slacking?" "Much better he very rarely does it now. OK good. Oh and go to the training grounds Zoe and I will have some news." "OK cool." Then I went to Denzel.
"Denzel are you ok?" "Yeah I'm fine." "You don't look ok what's up?" "I had a dream about my brother. He came to me in a dream. He told me what you said he would think." I saw the guy tear up. I went over to him and rubbed his back. "You were right Zelda. He said he is proud of his little brother. That he will always be watching me. That I have friends around here that is more like family. To protect them and have them protect me in return. He says he talks to your parents about me all the time." "Yes I talked to them as well. I woke up and I was in my bed. I remember being in a tree then Arrow told me about it. Listen Denzel. I don't know what its like to loose a brother. I just know what it is to loose a loved one. After I got old enough I longed for my mother and father. Even though I can't see them anymore I know they are watching me. I had a dream about them too. I also saw Arrow's father. So if you ever need to talk come to me or Jet. We will be there for you ok?" Then he calmed down. "Thanks Zelda. I'll be down there soon. Just a few minutes." "Don't take long there is going to be two announcements ok?" "Yeah ok." Then I left him alone.
He looked up and said, "Brother. Zelda is a nice person. I would be proud to protect her. If I should die in battle at least it was an honorable one. I would also be able to see you again. I promise I will try to live my life the way you wanted though. Thank you, brother. I love you too." Then he went over to join the others.
I saw Denzel finally walking down. I told Zoe that Denzel is back. "Ok stand next to me." "OK! There is a reason all of you are here! There are two announcements that are to be made! Zelda is going to announce them!" "OK. As the head warrior has said, I have two announcements to make! I guess I should start off with the most important one! The battle we are training for is coming sooner than we thought! So I can't have anyone Slacking off! We need to train our butts off as much as we can! I won't be able to train with you all since I will be training with the were wolves for awhile! The rest of you need to train here! Now as for the second part of the announcement! I will be accepting Denzel and his dragon in as well! I'm sure he will be fine and won't slack off anymore right! "No ma'am!" He shouted. "Good now lets do that right now! Denzel! Come here please! Others please give room for his dragon! As soon as I am done accepting him! I want you all to shift into your dragons so they can see my free spirit! That way they know I am on their side! Now Denzel I need you to shift." Then everyone cleared the way and he shifted. He was a reverse dragon of Sitka's instead of red being the red color it was yellow. The red was the extra color. "What is your name dragon?" "My name is Flame your Highness. I shoot poison at my enemies." I saw him bow. "Oh please don't. I don't like formalities. Only when we are introduced to other royals from different palaces. So what do you think about becoming my last dragon?" "Well I will try not to let him slack off as best as I can. That boy hasn't been the same since his brother died." "I understand. Thank you flame." "I swear we will protect you with our lives. I talked with Denzel about it he agreed." "Ok then. Dragon Flame. I Accept you and your human as my next dragon!" Then power shot out of both of us and my head went up along with Flames. Some of my power was transferred to him. "Finally over." I leaned against a tree because I was a little lightheaded. "I'm ok guys. This happened every time I had accepted every one of you. I'll be ok." "Well you don't have a fever." Said Rena. "I'm fine everyone really. I just need a minute." I closed my eyes for a few minutes. "Ok I'm good now. Lets go train for a bit. When do you leave for the wolves?" "In two days." "I will have my assistants with me don't worry." I told Rena. "Sigh ok then. Be careful when training ok?" "Rena I am a grown teenager. I am almost 17 years old. I am practically an adult." "Yes I know." I patted her shoulder and ran over.
"Ok so lets start off with the ones that aren't my dragons. Lets start off with the easiest team. I want to tell them what they need to work on. Lets start off with the strongest one first." Then he came up and Zoe and got in position then she said Go and he started charging at me. We were fighting for a good long while then about halfway through I pinned him down. "Good fight. What's your name?" "The names Jaz. So what do I have to work on if I may ask." "Yes, you may. You need to work on paying attention to the speed of the person's attack and work on speeding up yourself. The other stuff is all good." "Thank you, Zelda. Oh and who would you suggest for that?" "I would suggest my brother Arrow and you both need to learn the same thing. Maybe Nakita can show you. Nakita! Come here for a second!" She came over and said, "What's up Zelda?" "Your boyfriends and this man Jaz could use your area of expertise. They need to speed up along with watching the speed of a person's movement." "Ok cool. I've already been training with Arrow and he is not my boyfriend at least not yet. I have my standards. Sure I can train him as well. Come on Jaz lets go." Then I trained with the other lower team then paired them up with one of my dragons that know how to do what they need to work on well. Then I was beat. I sat down and leaned against a tree for a bit.
After awhile I was about to get up when I saw steel and my assistants. "Oh hey what's up you guys?" "Not much came to check on how you were doing. We thought maybe you would be beat awhile ago." Said Elektra. "Yeah I was but I rested and was about to get up." Nova helped me up. "Thanks man." I did a big sigh and drank some water. I chilled against a tree for a little longer then Ezra came by and I got off the tree. "Hey Ezra what's up?" "Not much. I'm free for now. I heard about the battle. Also that your brother is going to tell you what you have been wanting to know." "Yeah. Finally. I just wish this battle would hurry up and things can get to peace." "Yeah we all do Zelda. It just takes time." He hugged me for a bit. I hugged him back. "Sorry I got you all sweaty." "Its all good. Trust me I've had worse."
