Old Dragons whisper

* chapter 15 *

His might and strength had turned into weakness, pain and illnesses in seconds. As he slept, His servants started to remove the armour from his body at time Hana looked at the deep scars on his face, at his short gray beard and hair and then at all the scars on his body. And when they finished and put the white robe on him, Hana extended her hand and placed it on his heart to feel its warmth and weakness, at the time Marcel came from in front of her and extended his hand also to feel his heart and his internal organs where nothing was okey on him. That's when they started treating him!

The hours were passing quickly and only a few of his illnesses were cured, which shocked both Hana and Marcel, because the illnesses he had shouldn't take long to recover. And when the night came, the King's condition had improved a little, but Marcel looked at Hana and said: « The tired parts of his body will make his wake up to be like a miracle!! I have to stay here the night and try to treat him and to understand what is the real problem! the problem that prevented him to get cured!! but you can sleep now and to take your turn tomorrow morning! », At that moment, Hana tiredly raised her hand from the king and looked at him for a while and then she said: « I'd rather stay the night and treat him myself!! You know how much I wanted to do that before!! », And then Marcel stood for a while, thinking, then he shook his head in agreement and approached to kiss her forehead then he said, « Then, good night, my dear! ». And after he had left, Hana looked at the King as she began to say sadly and tiredly to him, « So! You're the cause of all the devastation and death! You ruin my mother and the world's life and Now I have to cure you to get back my brother and the man for whom I have so much in my life!!! », she then kept looking at him for awhile, and thereafter she reached out her hand to his head to check his temperature and the health of his top parts of his body on general, she lit the blue fire and just started checking him when she found out that the head was completely worn out!

Shocked by the rickety of the brain, which was the worst and the cause of them all, she continued on searching for the main cause of that wear and tear to be treated in the right way!

And the moment she was still looking, she felt of some flaws in the brain, as when she approached from them, suddenly she found herself looking back at the king's past where he was a baby next to his tired mother! Hana's shock was overwhelming, as she was sitting and seeing his past in front of her in his room.

He was the only child of one of the Shadow Masters, he was a very nice and loved father so, the king was joining him lovingly on his lessons as he was joyfully trying to learn and to do what his father teaching his students, and for this reason, he was one of the best students in the whole school since he was ten. He was kind and loves to help the others. and after he reached sixteen, he heard the arrival of the Alpha Cardinia, the thing that amazed him and felt excited to meet her.

Everything was clear in his memory, as he had forgotten nothing, it was a sunny day, everything was green and flowered with little scattered clouds, she entered through the gate with her father, as it was Hana's first time to see her mother, her heart began to heartbeat hard as her feelings fluctuated, as was the feelings of the king when he saw her! She was looks like Hana, with her long dark-orange hair, green eyes and And a few scattered freckles on her face. And once she and her father got approached from the king and from the Master in charge who was standing next him, the king got very nervous They had greeted each other and entered the meeting room where everyone was waiting there.

Since then they have always been together, as Hana saw everything that went between them, she felt his sadness, his happiness, his excitement and his fear. he wasn't a person hard to understand, he was clear and honest.

And a year after they met, during the annual competitions where everything had started, The king was very excited, as he enjoyed all his competitions with a sporting spirit, until it was his turn to compete with Cardinia. Where before they walked up he came to her and kissed her on her forehead and laughed while saying: « your win is mine, and mine is yours! i didn't see someone challenging himself before but i guess it's going to be full of excitement!! », Both of them were eager and full of love for each other and wanted to quarrel for fun, as neither of them showed a lack of sportsmanship

After that, the two of them climbed into the ring and the fight began, the king was beating the alpha in many stages, but at one point, the king was standing ready looking at Cardinia waiting for her to stand with a nice smile on his face, only to find himself lying on the ground and the profit was announcing for the alpha! It wasn't a quick hit by the alpha or any, but it was a glitch in the king's memory.

Hana looked at what had happened in astonishment, thinking that the king had begun to lose his memory, so he doesn't remember what had really happened, but what she found out next had surprised her even more. After the king was lying on the ground listening to the announcement of the victory of the Alpha, he began to look around him in amazement, he looked at his numb hand and held his head, which seemed to be in pain, as he hit the ground hard, then Cardinia came to him and apologized strongly for what she did when the king replied, saying: « what happened? », Then Cardinia thought it was from the hard hit he has got from her, that he lost a part of his memory, as the healers there time said, and that He will soon going to be recovered.

After that time, the King was normal and didn't seem to be influenced by what happened as Hana had thought and as the Avatar had told her. He was eagerly waiting for his discharge from the hospital to meet Cardinia, and once his health stabilized, he was allowed to leave the hospital, His parents took him to their home, where he then went to school, but a lot of weird things were happening. The school students often looked at him strangely as if something had happened, and even stranger, Cardinia was just like them!

Then and since that time the king often finds himself in different places than he was in seconds before, What aroused his anger and made him lose his temper whenever someone came to him and told him about things he did but the king was really not who did it!

And one day, Cardinia came to meet the king in his house, where they both went out and sat in a forest where the view of the moon was wonderful.

The king told Cardinia that strange things were happening to him after the computation and that his nervousness was a reaction because of it, as Cardinia understood what he's going through, and made their talk at last to turn to a cordiality and lovingly talk after her upset and therefore the king approached to kiss her, He slowly moved towards her lips, when he reached out his hand to her hair, he lifted it behind her ear, then placed his hand on her cheek and gently touched her lips by his thump, then kissed her when suddenly another glitch has happened at the moment he kissed her where he found himself at an end of a big argument with Cardinia that she ended it up by saying: ( we're done! ), then she left, leaving the king sitting trying to understand what was happening..

He felt a really bad tightness in his chest, as his psychological state has been completely destroyed and since then, he had left people and everyone around him, he became always alone and hated to communicate. His parents had always tried to understand what was happening with him and tried to get him out of what he was in, but to no avail.

One day, the king found himself standing in the middle of his room and next to him was a young man with blond hair, good-looking, and apparently from a wealthy and prestigious family. The man was looking at his watch at time he said, « It's time to leave! Your task today is to introduce me to Cardinia! » Then he laughed and started walking headed to the door when then another glitch occurred to king's memory. To find himself lying on his bed with great fatigue and a violated body, where next to him were his parents, his mother's crying and very sad father, trying to bring down his body temperature. And the next glitch! The king then found himself standing beside a tree far from a place of a wedding, that was the wedding of that young man, standing smiling looking at the king like telling him of his win, at time then he looked back at his bride who had stood in front of him, Which turned out to be Cardinia.

Hana's shock at that moment was considerable, if that is Cardinia's wedding and to this man, then it means that he's her father, Ernesto!! Her thoughts overlapped, thinking of how, who and why did all of this happen to the king? could that be just an amnesia? or something bigger is going on?

However, she looked back at his memory to complete watching, when then, he found himself in a forest next to that young man and other two men when that young man looked at the king after he was thinking deeply and said: « I'm sorry for that! but they are such a big obstacle! », Then another glitch occurred, and the king found himself in front of his burning house, where his father was looking at him with fear in his eyes from the window that he could not open, and his mother, who was coughing badly and who had started to lose consciousness from the large amount of smoke and lack of oxygen, were screaming for help, and banging on the window hard to the king the moment he realized what was happening, and as soon as he moved towards the window, running to help them, another glitch just happened, to find himself standing at a top of a tower, looking at a huge army in front of him, thousands of soldiers and dragons were filling the ground, who they all were looking at him, when a man next to him said: « With a word from you, my king, the war will begin immediately! ».

Then, the rest of the king's memories were blurry, everything was intertwined with each other, especially the colors, Until Cardinia appeared again!

The king was looking at the ceiling of his room when he felt of a hand touching his left cheek, and when he looked left, he found Cardinia crying, holding his hand and looking into his eyes, with tears covering her face, while she was only saying: ( I'm really sorry! ), at time the king lost consciousness.

After that, the king began to regain consciousness when he opened his eyes and found Cardinia treating him, the blue fire on her hands was so warm, comfortable and beautiful, as the king seemed healthier. And when he woke up, he tried to sit down, but Cardinia prevented him from doing so, saying: « i will free you up soon! just wait! », at time he asked her tiredly: « what was happening to me? », so Cardinia looked at his hand sadly and replied: « i don't really know yet! But who i had trusted turned out to be the bad one!! ». Then she asked him to rest a bit so that she could complete his treatment, And from that time on, the king was clearly on the mend. He began to move, speak fluently, and perceive his surroundings. He was then close to Cardinia again, their relationship seemed stronger when they slowly started to kiss each other in very deep love, and by the days they slept and made love.

And as how much danger those days were, as much happiness moments they were, but soon the pregnancy began to appear on Cardinia! And after her belly grew very big, she came to the king and said: « this week i will give birth. me and Joey had arranged for an escaping plan so that the three of us and the woman who's helping us will run off! we must be ready!! ».

At time Hana stopped for a moment of shock, saying: (Isn't Joey the second guard for Cardinia who was with the man of forty, Mirandus? He didn't die at the war but he got arrested!! )..

Then, she completed watching as the king sat in shock, saying: « And how are we going to do that? », when then she start telling: « woman's name Isabella, had a dragon, she said that this dragon can carry two people on his back, he will fly us from the window of our rooms to a certain point next to the gate at night! And at there time, we will have to run to the out world then to a hidden hole next to a river! It has a hidden world inside it, my vision told me about it! We can stay there and mislead the guards Until the situations calms down!! ».

And there was the second shock to Hana! As she was always asking herself, "Why did the vision take me to that hole?", and now she clearly knew the answer..

At there time Cardinia completed her talk, saying: « I am allowed to visit you very often to heal you, as Isabella who's a worker here. She's responsible for me and Joe, and on that, she's going to tell what each of us wants to tell the other! », at time the king felt weird like, why would she help us, so he said: « What makes you so confident about her? », And thus, Cardinia confidently answered: « Our help will be the only way to ensure the survival of her son. she's pregnant, and the father is a man who's not from the shadow nation. And on that she's afraid that her son will be killed for being like his father!! », With that, the King was relieved of the plan, agreed for it and prepared himself for what would happen next.

The days passed after that until one night, Isabella came to the king, but surrounded by soldiers, at time she said: « Today you will be at your best, my king. », and from this, the king understood her intent, and shook his head at her and looked at the window with great fear and overthinking, and once everyone left, he stood and opened the window waiting for the dragon when after very long time the dragon suddenly came with Cardinia and two babies. At that time, Cardinia nervously and shivering said: « Maurice quickly, ride!!! They're on their way to here!! », Thus, the king began to climb the window very quickly while trembling, but soon the door opened with force when a ball of fire was thrown towards Cardinia which is towards him too, at that time he avoided it, and it hit the window and then a glitch in his memory occurred..

Once he opened his eyes, he found himself in a basement, hands and feet cuffed while sitting on a wooden chair, In front of him were two men, when the third entered, ( Ernesto ), He was angry and full of hatred and malice, and at that moment he furiously pushed the king's chair on the pillar of the building behind him and said: « Where did she go!! », And accordingly, the king answered him with confidence: « who are you talking about? »

* Ernesto:- « no one else! Don't fool around!!! Her adjunct was killed, she is now alone with two babies and will not be able to protect them and herself in the out world with that much of soldiers around, if you tell me where they are, I promise not to kill them, specially your daughter. and reverse to the reverse!! », And so, the king replied with a smile, « I have no idea what you are talking about. », the thing that made Ernesto to get more angry, but he furiously left the place..

The king was then taken back to his room, but completely cuffed on the bed with the presence of many soldiers inside, the days were passing and passing after that, as the iron locks were hurting him till the bleeding. and after many days, Ernesto came again to the king as he looked sharply at him, bearing a lot of anger, when he smiled madly while saying: « You both succeeded after all! She came to the out world and ended their torment by erasing its memory, With this, there are no more soldiers scattered around, it's safer now for everyone, as I don't have the numbers to send to regain my control!!! I admit it!! How smart is that!! And now her guard ran away easily too, and no one could find him!! », Then Ernesto extended his hand and began to strangle the king forcefully, saying: « i will never let you escape or even to die! you will live very long with pain! i promise you », Then he pushed him hard against the wall to hit the king's head and then he left out..

And since then, and for a thousand years, All what the king has seen is the walls of his room, and also the appearance of a little girl and seeing her growing over the years in front of him. As Hana said on her mind ( she must be my sister! His daughter! Is that mean.. they found her?!! ), Thus, Hana had finished reading the king's past, but the past remained a mystery that she couldn't understand. at there time, she looked at the window and decided to see what does it carry, hoping to find what solves that mystery of what really happened after the last glitch at the window and hoping to understand the reason of it!! and so, she stood off of her chair and headed to the window and removed the curtain of it, but then she got surprised by the dawn, the sun is about to shine up which means there is no more time left and she must to heal the king as fast as possible!! And accordingly, Hana ran back to her chair and begun to heal the king's problems, but the time was never enough!

Marcel came after that, as Hana showed him the real cause of his illness and then they both began again to heal him up, when the two men who have always been from hundreds of years next to the king entered the room and had looked sharply at Hana and Marcel, She stood up and grabbed her hands together anxiously as looked down sadly, saying: "unfortunately, i was hoping to not need to say this but!! his woke up will be a...", at that time Hana saw a strong waves coming out of one of the men. waves were like the heated air, swimming on the surroundings, At time Hana looked at it strangely, and followed it in great astonishment, asking herself ( what are these waves? ), where it was swimming towards the king and once it reached him, it surrounded his head completely and directly then, he had opened his eyes forcefully with energy and vigor and with same sharp eyes of the man..

The shock on Hana and Marcel's face was indescribable when they both looked at each other and then looked back at the king who had pushed the blanket off him and stood and shouted hard at the servants: « Why is my armor not ready yet?!!!! », When all the servants started running to put the armor on him and to prepare him to leave the room. At time Hana and Marcel were still standing looking at everyone on shock, asking themselves, ( how could this damaged head manage to be that strong and energetic?!!), as they remained in the anxiety, Waiting for his nervous system to collapse in first place pretty after his woke, but he walked out of the room, as if he's someone not injured with that deep serious danger..
