When Durex and his army retreat is was the sad day that Drocan fear it would happen. He walks to his best second commander and his best friends so he carry Shadslayer dead body at his back "Shadslayer Why have to be you" he though to himself after several hours later he calls Emmeline "Emmeline do you know why I call you?"
"Not exactly... I'm guessing you need me to take...Shadeslayers body, or lament over him with someone?" she asked, somewhat hesitantly.
Loria heard her thoughts and chuckled.
"Hm...How long do we know each other?" He looks at Emmeline then turns to looks at the other who have fight against the Dark army and sees a lot have die and injury the Dark army.
"How long have we known each other...Well, I'd...say...Quite a many years." She wonders why he asks.
"Well then I have to tell that you will be my second commander if not just tell me then and you little one I hope you can tell me your name" he looks at Loria while he carry his friends dead body at his back.
"I will be commander." Emmeline said.
"What is my first job?" she really exciting that she become commander.
"Well you first mission go check that people at this village we escort them are safe and please tell me the truth that some one have ride you?" He wants to know that she have some one already.
"Yes...Loria. She has ridden me many times." she said, somewhat guiltily.
"I will go do my job, now." she flew off towards the village.
He looks at Emmeline flies until he can see her "Shadslayer I hope I make the right decision" then he walks to the place where he and shadslayer come. He put the dead body to the floor and looks at the sky then his tears drop a side "I hope you happy here my friends I will revenge for you, until I found the legends of the Dragon knight" so he cast the spell to protect this place and says "Fell well my friend" then he walk back.
He heading to the forest to sees how Emmeline doing "Status report and please bring you friends I like to meet her.
"Come here, Loria" Emmeline thought. Loria was there in a minute.
"Hello, Sir Drocan." she bowed respectfully.
Shymar landed, folding her wings. "Hmm. Aidan isn't here yet?"
"Think again!" Aidan rammed into her leg, and she laughed as he bounced back like a ball. "Don't you ever leave me in a boiling pond again!" Aidan ordered in a good-natured way. Then he hugged her. "Did the fight go ok?"
Shymar shrugged. "I dunno. I wasn't in it."
Drocan bows to her and looks at her "Hmm...Her eyes look familiar" he though to himself then he sense another dragon with some one "I know you there Shymar!!"
Loria didn't flinch at all the dragons. She was used to Emmline.
"You're very pretty dragon." she told Drocan.
He smile what Loria said to him then he sees Shymar and some with her beside.
Shymar dipped her head. "We come to serve, Drocan." She growled softly at Aidan, and he quickly bowed.
"Likewise."
He bows back and looks at both of them "Emmeline show this two to my resting place I will be there".
"Follow me." Emmeline said to the newcomers. Loria hopped on her back.
Roxanne watched Emmiline and stood up.
"Roxanne, do you need a ride?" Emmeline asked. Roxanne sighed then says "I guess so" she said, smiling.
"Hop on." emmeline growled.
Roxanne climbed on carefully and sat down.
He walk pass them to the river when he out of siege he can't hold it no longer he fall down and hit the tree; is fall down to the next tree then he growl with pained from the battle suddenly he unconscious.
He wakes up then he realize that he not at the same place "How do I get here and, where is this place"
Suddenly he sees a mysteries person appears to him and says "Hello Drocan" he cock his head "How do you know me and who are you?"
He smile And says "I will tell you later but first I have to help you" then he raises his hand and touch on top of Drocan head.
Drocan doesn't feel any pain from the battle. "Ok every thing is done, now I have to go but beware you best friends will turn to dark side and kill you..." then he gone.
Emmeline and the other arrive at Drocan resting place several minutes Emmeline wonder why Drocan didn't come yet so she flies to the river. Several minutes alter Emmeline flew high over a river. She suddenly saw the dark scales of Drocan. She gasped and descended.
Then Drocan wakes up at his resting place and looks at his hand "What is this?"
At the castle Durex looks at the tank inside there a dragon resting "You will be out soon and work for me hah hah ha..."
At the cave where Drocan resting place are.
"Emmeline are you outside there?" he shouts out if Emmeline can hear him.
"Yeh, I'm here!" she landed beside him. "You need help?"
He grind and lies his head down and says "I not really but how long do I sleep and how is our guest doing"
"Umm, you've been asleep for a bit... She's doing fine..." she replies back
Roxanne stood up and walked out of the cave slowly. She stood outside and then sat down on a rock, staring off into the distance.
"Roxanne where are you I need you help!!" he calls inside her head then he pick the round metal with symbol of human at the right elf on the left and the dragon at the middle "What it mean?" he though to himself
Roxanne jumped and growled. "What do you want?" she muttered.
Drocan show the round metal to Roxanne and says "Do you have ever seen this one before"
Roxanne shook her head. "No idea." she grunted
"So you ever never saw it before then I need you search or find some one who know this symbol and what it mean?" he gives the symbol to Roxanne.
"What are you talking about,Drocan." Loria frowned.
Drocan doesn't know what to tell Loria before he gives it Roxanne the metal spot something behind the metal then he read it
When the dark dragon appears the war began
The Holy shield will appear to protect them
To find the Dragon knight by pure hearth it will lead the way
Dragon knight will appear at front of you at moon rise at the....
"Hm...What did it mean by Dragon knight by pure hearth? And there are missing word" then he looks at Loria and says "Do you know what it mean any chance or any legend?" he looks at Loria.
"I have no idea. But, it must be someone kind and pure to defeat him, right?" she says.
Roxanne shook her head. "I dunno nothing about it." she said. She glanced at Loria.
"You maybe but the third sentence say, to find the Dragon knight by pure hearth it will lead the way?"
"Well, then I suppose we should find the dragon knight,yea?" Emmeline growled.
"I agree with my large friend." Loria said.
Roxanne sat down on the ground and popped her knuckles.
Drocan looks at Roxanne and says "But the problem is there some word missing at the last sentence and I hope your kind may know about this symbol"
Roxanne shrugged. "Never seen it before"
"If none of you know then I have looks by myself" he stand up and walk out then a old lady appears at front of Drocan resting place and says "Hello dear I bring some food, come to thank for helping us and I heard that you want to know the legend of the Dragon Knight"
"Do you know about old lady?" He asks in curios he would like know what the old lady knows about these legends.
"Yes I know about it" Drocan uses the spell to make the earth move up to let the old lady sit. "Thank you, its begin many years were the first evil appear on earth and call himself Manus, every where he pass, there always death and human and elf had try to stop him but never success, until one day human and elf come to ask for help from the god; So god help them sand help it call the Dragon Knight after he kill the evil the Dragon knight give them 5 Items, a round metal that you have it, is one of the 5 but the rest I don't know only this metal will show you only the person with pure hearth like her over there" the old lady point at Loria.
Drocan looks at Loria then he turn to sees that the old lady are gone "Where did she go?"
Roxanne blinked a few times. "That was.....weird." she commented.
"Roxanne you can said that again" Drocan looks around but didn't find so he walk to Loria and put the metal to her hand and see what will happen.
When he metal touch Loria hand is start floating at her hand then a light pointing to north "Roxanne get the map now and fast"
At the castle Durex goes to the underground is then Durex walking the light between the walls. Durex walks deep inside at the end of the castle there a big door made of steel when he arrives he kneel down then the door open.
Inside there were nothing only the black orbs floating around hen the voice appears "You have fail me Durex but I will forgive!!" Durex doesn't answer. "
So how the new commander is he awake?" Durex reply back "Not yet it will take sometime to complete the spell master"
"Ok then you can dismiss now I have other thing to do" Durex walk out of the chamber then the door close.
Loria turns red "Um, am I supposed to, uhh....Do something?" she asked, coughing nervously.
Emmeline laughed "I am not sure, dear."
"C'mon now Rexanne I need that map ASAP right now before it gone!!" he wonder why Roxanne take so long to get the map.
Emmeline growled, picked the map with her teeth and handed it to Drocan
"Thank you Emmeline, now lets see" he open the map at his claw looks for several minutes "Ok Loria you can put that Metal down now I know there place now" then he looks at the shelf where the book are "Hmm... it must be around here....Ah ha here it is The Argondia forest"
Loria started laughing. "It feels funnay!!" Drocan looks at her wonder why she laugh and says "What is so funny about?" she replies "It's so weird......." she didn't exactly know why she was laughing. He stills wonders why she laughing.
He looks at the book and read it "Ok The Argondia forest lets see its said it enchanted for many years by a great wizard name Kroties, before he dead he says when the darkness appears only human can pass through but only with Yorgone shield"
"Well, I don't see a human in this group."
"Yeah I think so but lets me read again maybe I miss something" Drocan read the book for few second then he knew it "That would be no problem, Loria are you half human?" he asks her. Then she says "Aye, so is Roxanne and Aidan."
"Because that thing on you hand only work with human blood and pure hearth" He looks at her and Roxanne "I don't if I would lets them go alone there last page is missing" he though to himself then says "Ok you two must go there to retrieve it next day in the morning and some one will come with you Three" He turn to sees that is almost sunset "Ok every one this conversation is over better to sleep now, you guys need because you are going early in the morning" Drocan walk inside and sleep at the corner alone.
Loria laid back against Emeline and was soon asleep. Emmeline drifted off as well.
Roxxane sleep as well like the other but she think about the Argondia forest until she fell a sleep.
Early in the morning Drocan wakes up before sun rise he looks at the other were still sleeping "I better do before they wakes up" Drocan walks directly but slow so would not wake the other up; out of siege he prepare the spell "I hope it will work if not they will have to face something that I scare; "Tery's Tare'u Maghunestorus!!"
He waits if the spell work suddenly his spell work then something appears in the middle of the circle spell. "Hmm...is almost done I better get in there so I can turn to human" then he walk in the circle after sun appears over the mountain when the light of the sun touched him the spell work the skin whelping around Drocan after several minutes is complete. He kneel down in pain of the spell transform and looks at himself "Phew this will the first time and the last time I will do it, ok I need some dress to wear" Drocan walk to the resting place and that no had awake. He gets the cloth and the armor and wears it then he get out of the cave.
Loria woke up. She think she saw Drocan walk in. "Hello,Drocan.."
Drocan looks at Loria who said to him "I think you dreaming ma'am I'm not Drocan my name Fang I'm here to travel with you and your company with you ma'am"
"Uhh, what? Drocan...just went out...And did a spell, then...You came in...and oh my gosh! You're human!" She says in surprise.
"Ma'am I had told you I'm not Drocan my name is Fang and my lord when out to do something he will gone for couple weak ma'am"
Loria sat down and says "Ok, One: do NOT call me Ma'am, and two: I'm confused..." she huffed.
"Well, allow me to introduce myself. I am Loria. Not miss, not Ma'am, Not Miss Loria, nor Ma'am Loria, Just Loria, and this is my dragon, Emmeline. She's still sleeping. And thats Roxanne."
He bows to Loria "Yes ma'am ops I mean Loria every thing are prepare now I will be waiting over that tree" he point at old tree and bow again to her and walk to the tree.
"Hey, aren't you hungry?" she called. Then he replies back "I already ate something already Loria I will be waiting" then he gone to the tree "Phew...that was close".
She took a brush out of her bag and combed her hair. Then she poured some water from her canteen and washed her face, and then she gargle water to make her teeth feel cleaner. Once she was done grooming she took out venison and ate breakfast.
Drocan sitting under the shadow tree and looks at his human form "I hope this spell wouldn't wear off soon"
At the castle Thonis run to the chamber hall where Durex are. He open the door and says "My lord we have a problem Drocan and his companion have the Yorgone shield and they know where the second piece sir"
"I know that already Thonis" he says then he turn to looks at Thonis in anger.
"What we gonna do lord Durex" He asks to Durex.
"Call Shadow now" then someone appears with the shadow and says "Do you call me my lord"
"Yes I call you I need you stop them before they get the second piece!!" She bow before she says "Yes my lord" then she disappears with the shadow.
