Old Dragons whisper

* Chapter 12 *

All the inhabitants of the Hidden School gathered in the arena where that included the Masters!! However, at moment people were still coming with their dragons, the Avatar master and those with him had noticed the abundance of the dragons whom where in the sky, above the buildings and walking around in the ground while they scattering everywhere, and no one seemed to be their guardian and so then, the whispers' master said... « we have a little problem to tell!!!, Eighteen years ago, when the girl was trying to find her dragon in the hatcher, she touched all the eggs without any exception, so as a result... »

* The Avatar master:- « she caused of their hatch!!! »

* the whispers' master:- that's right!!! tho, they are not aggressive or wild, but they had become without a life-guardian as many guardians haven't find their life-dragon yet!!... », the Avatar master started looking around, thinking about any advantage can be taken by them and at the same moment on Cardinia's world, in Hana's small square room that her bed was in the middle of the right south wall where the door was next to it in the left, a big wooden closet opposite the door on the north wall and a desk opposite the bed next to the window that was closed by iron bars as an order from the Avatar master so that Hana's chances to run off become insignificant!!

However, Hana started to wake up and opening her eyes, the headache and pain in her head were terrible when she started looking around trying to focus and to understand where is she and what was she doing?!! When then in an instant, the memories came to her like a tape in front of her eyes to remind her of everything had happened!! Her heart got squeezed with pain when the sight tape of the vision passed where the two men were tortured!!! She made a moaning sound with the pain she felt and raised her head trying to stand up but then, she realized the chains and how thick and difficult to move they were on her hands and feet, her tears started shedding crazily when she sat and looked at her hands!! And at the same moment, one of Mirandos' men (the man of forty) walked into the room and headed to the desk, after he heard the sounds of the moving chains that let him know of her woke up, His name is Caesar from the earth nation, he sat and looked at her sadly!!!, His green eyes and his yellow hair were shining under the sunlight which was hardly got in through the window!! And so, little silent passed after when, Hana said with deep sad voice and while still looking at the lock on her hands!! « Who cuffed me? », at time Caesar saw couple of stones on the ground so he grabbed two small sized of them and looked back to Hana and replied.. « the Avatar master!! », and then, he called Hana's name as he wanted her to look at him! And so Hana did!! she raised her eyes up and looked at him when he showed the stones and in an instant, He stretched out his arm and threw the two stones with all his might toward Hana's face!! What made her to close her eyes in shock and twitching, as she made a panicked sound while waiting the two stones to reach her face and imagined the pain that it will cause!! and because of the panicked sound she made, Emilio hurriedly entered the room and looked around, where a great wonder filled him up, at time then he said: " What's happening?!", Then Hana began slowly on opening her eyes, when she saw the two stones floating in front of her eyes in the air, which amazed her!!! Then each stone started on spinning in the opposite direction of the other, circling around Hana's head In an extremely beautiful form!!! But at some point when the two stones met in front of Hana's eyes, they stopped of moving and fell into her lap Where Hana's eyes didn't leave them at all their way!!! Caesar at their time said: "controlling the gravity!! It's the third level of the earth power!! I can teach it for you in only two weeks!! Start from today if you want!!!", as he was trying to get Hana's attention and to make her to forget as much as she could from the bad memories and the bad ideas she's mighting to do!! But its effect was the opposite of what he wanted! Hana kept looking at the stones and the chains, as it was obvious that the sadness is getting higher every second inside her when the tears began to shed very bad again, and then she said: " i feel tormented by only the presence of these chains around me!!! ...."TEARS".... What might they be doing now? and what were their feelings at all this time?" Her crying was so deep that Emilio ran out of the room in a hurry of crying as how much he tried to not show it, while Caesar kept looking at her crying for awhile then he said: "It's the old woman's act!!", What made Hana's tears to dry from the shock, she looked at him in astonishment and said: "what are you saying?!!!!"

* Caesar:- The Avatar master has confirmed that she has a relevance to what happened, as well as his insistence to beware of all the inhabitants of the king's world!! They are all spies where the malice, hatred and ruthlessness is what they been taught since childhood and especially for those who aren't from their nation!! The Avatar master had warned Adeodatus before, lots of times to not trust her, but he trusted her blindly and thereby, she betrayed him and handed them over!!!"...

One shock after another accompanied by lots of pain what made Hana's feelings got heavier and the malice growing abnormally inside her!!! She wiped her tears and lay on her bed on her right side, where she put her right hand under her head, and her eyes kept looking towards the window where she could peep at the outside!, and minutes later, Caesar left the room so that, Hana can have moments with herself as it may help her to get better!! And back to the old school!! The Avatar master has finally found the best utility that can be taken from both, the dragons and guardians...

* the Avatar master:- for the dragons whom without a life-guardian, I will take them all to the army so that, they will be trained and will be used as should, and for the guardians who haven't found their life-dragon, they will all be taken to the largest hatchery in the world so that they search for their potential life-dragon and so, they be no more alone!! And for those who had already found the second level of their power, they will be taken to the army after finding their egg!!!

All the masters agreed with the Avatar's decision so then, the Whispers' master said: « on that way you will have around 30 guardian without a dragon and 25 with their dragons, but still to find the level of those little guardians!! », and thereupon, the place became crowded where the people began to check the abilities of their dragons, the dragons of their children and their siblings too, one by one! And once they started, the Avatar master's astonishment was growing with each person passes the examine, that too many guardians were having the required level, and that the section of the new army members got completely filled up by only the half of those in the present!!! And as much amazement of his, the Avatar looked at Mirandus and proudly said: « For millions of decades and generations, this land has always been blessing those who live on it!!!! I guess i understood now, why it's always been the best!! No matter how much old it be and no matter what the situations was around it, this land will always be the safest and a producer for the best!!! »...

The look up has completed and the examinations were finally done, with the sunset where everyone gathered and lined up in equal lines in front of the Avatar and those with him and so, the whispers' master said: « Master!!! They are all ready to your words!!! », then the Avatar stood up and looked at each of them and said... « Ladies and gentlemen, From the youngest to the oldest!! Warm congrats to you all on passing this stage! Some of you may think joining is something inevitable, but of course it is not!! You all are free to join!!! This journey will be a difficult journey and the most difficult at all, not only on your life, but the whole world and history as well!! You will see the death comes more often, but you will see the dead more, perhaps people you once saw! Or those you don't know!! might be your friends! Your colleagues! Or maybe your family!!!, But those who will not join are not exempted from this but tho, who will join are more exposed to it!! The war that destroyed the world before and killed nations, clans, and all the countries, is coming back! And Its owners will seek to destroy every inch of the world and what is hidden!! and accordingly, nothing is going to be safe and nothing will be secured as how much we wanted and tried to!!! so, now the option is yours who wants to join please stay in the line but who don't want then please leave the line and go back to your families proudly!! », Then, everyone stood on where they were without moving, declaring of their full joining so that, the Avatar said: « History will remember your courage and bravery for life!! Now everyone, the camp of Cardinia's army is waiting for you!! please prepare your luggage for departure as fast as possible! »..

A long and hard day for everyone as the army's new soldiers were transported to the camp under the supervision of the daughter of the Avatar, Lara, while the rest returned to the world of Cardinia where the dark was up and midnight got approached, and once the Avatar has done all of his works with Mirandus, He immediately made his way to Hana's room to check on her, and once he reached the corridor that leads to her room he found Emilio sitting on the ground full of exhaustion and worn out, so he laughed at him a little as he smiled then he said while heading to open her room: « i can bet surely that you had never left her!!! How is she?!! », He opened the door and took a quick peek as Hana's tears were dried up on her cheek, in her sleep, then Emilio said: « i can't tell whether she's fine or not!! she spent the whole day crying and refusing to eat!! my heart is broken as her but i must be stronger and that weaks my heart most!! Don't you have anything to tell about Tom?! », at time the Avatar closed her door and looked at Emilio while Hana opened her eyes, listening « there's nothing until now!! Of course I didn't expect you both to accept his disappearance as i wished for!! But you both must to act with caution especially for those things that related to the King!! Because it will become related for the whole world!!! And I'm also proud of you son! you have managed to control yourself well so far! », then the Avatar master had put his hand on Emilio's shoulder and said: « A father will never kill his son!! », and so then, he left out while Emilio sat again and the sadness and the worried were increasing and filling him up badly, and On the other hand, Hana was already enough of everything!! She was tired of waiting, but only waiting for the midnight!! And once she felt of its approaching and the stillness around, she knew that it's the time, she reached out her hand and placed it over the lock and began to heat it up with all her might, until at some point, it finally started to melt, and so, she freed her hands and then, her feet too!! Then she went to the closet and put on her black coat and headed to the window where she opened it and as she did to the lock, she heated the iron bars until the melting and until she could be able to get out of it, and before leaving, the five dragons were in the room where She ordered the four of them to sleep on her bed under her blanket where everything was prepared to look as if it's her and took the last dragon which is from the Fire nation with her! She went directly after, to the stable as she turned her dragon to a big black horse and prepared it to leave and once her feet ride it, Caesar voice appeared from the back saying: « do you want me to join you?! », His voice scared Hana to death, as if her heart had stopped in its place, she opened her eyes forcefully in shock, But she never heed!! Part of her was screaming for her to run off, but another part wanted to hear what he had to say So, Hana grabbed tight of the horse, her eyes were on the path that she's going to take and her ear were to him!!

The silence wasn't silent at all, but loud and long until when Caesar said: « I've been waiting for you here since the sunset! Mirandus' training was very strict that no one of us believed in those locks, it will never stop you!! Of course Mirandus knows this better than I do!!! I came only to clear my conscience!!!, You will die once your feet step onto their lands!!! Or maybe you will be arrested so that they bent the hands of those who oppose them, you will cause the world to lose its life, everyone will die because of one person!! », at time Hana interrupted him and said: « The war won't ever start without me and Tom on your side!!! », she kicked up the horse after that, and sped off away heading to the king's world While Caesar remained in his place, unable to do any act, at time, Hana turned away, and got disappeared from his sight...

No one felt of Hana's disappearance until the dawn, when Emilio felt to check on her, and once his feet stepped in her room, he noticed some strange things around, as the iron bars of the window were melted, and some burn marks around the bed and on the floor, Which freaked him to death, what made him to run to lift the bed's blanket, when then he saw ‏four grown-up wolves sleeping instead of Hana!! The shock he've got on their time made him to turn as fast as he could to run to the outside, trying to search for her, and so did those who he found on his way!! But it was too late!!, at there time, Hana was already in the king's land, She had already arrived a little after the midnight when she then went to the old woman's house, and first thing she did was burn her whole house down with the Scarlet fire which was her first time to cast!!! As being alone in strangers land or the land of murderers is something that hardens the heart and turns it into rubble without feelings while trying to act strong, Especially that Hana is aware of their having her brother and maybe her missing mother too!! So using the scarlet fire was the hardest thing the one would ever do, that no one is able to see this fire unless he feels it! And once he do, then he's definitely over! ( How can they escape from something they don't see?!, While they felt it, which means that it has already surrounded them!!), And that is what Hana hoped for, a lifeless body that was stuck among the rubble of an invisible transparent fire in the middle of the night!...

Meanwhile, after sunrise in the world of Cardinia, the whole kingdom was in chaos, after everyone tried to find and catch Hana but with no avail! No one could ever find her!, However, everyone was seated after, in the Avatar's office where it was so noisy inside, and at some point, Caesar interrupted them and said: « I guess Hana by now has arrived into the kingdom's land!! », at time the Avatar master was so desperate and tired of thinking, but once he heard Caesar's talk, he looked at him in shock that was mixed with anger when he said: « You saw her leaving?!!!! »

* Caesar:- yes, at the midnight!!! I tried to stop her but she was already gone!! And by now, she's surely crossing the gate of the kingdom!!! », And that was right!! Hana was crossing the kingdom gate where she was heading to the hospital, but not any hospital! The Hospital where the king himself goes to, every week to treat his illness!! Her plan was standing on to be his own healer, as she will try to become the best of those among her, then to win his trust and finally, to search on Tom and Adeodatus, and maybe little further!! A search trip for her mother!!!

However, she arrived finally to the hospital of the healers, where at first, she saw a huge garden where the patients were walking, and its building was more than fancy with its ancient marble decorations, that shows up its greatness past and doesn't seems to be old as the rest of the city!! And so then, When Hana arrived at the entrance door, she found it too crowded, that made her to be a little confused and nervous, but immediately after a man that was dressed like the hospitals' uniform passed by, she stopped him and asked him about what should be submited or to do to apply to join the healers, so the man pointed by his hand at the people around and said: « as you can see, lady!!! You must wait your turn with the rest!! You can get a number from there!! », when he pointed at a woman who's sitting in the reception table but Hana wondered a thing so she asked him: « a number for what?! »..

*The man:- To test the level of your healing ability!! as its will determine your position and what's allowed for you to work at!! », So, Hana went and got a number like the rest where she then sat and waited!! And at that time, she looked around as she noticed three rooms located in the center of the reception area at the entrance where those who wants to join were entering, as many of them have completed their exam, but they left whereas only some whose were holding papers, Which might indicate their acceptance and the places where they're allowed to work at...

However, finally after whiles, they called Hana's name to enter the room which in the middle, where she found two men healers inside it, while one of them was sitting and writing something, there was also a patient who was laying on the bed on the middle of the room as Hana stood next to him!!! When then the healer who's sitting said: « So Hana, please give me the full informations about you!! »

* I'm Hana Hadrian! 18 years old!! I leant healing by my grandpa, he was sick so i had to learn it to help him!!

* the healer:- So you haven't go to the authority of healers?!

* No, It was all by my own!!

* the second healer :- then, Can you tell exactly what problems this patient has and whether if it was serious problems or not?», Then, Hana looked at the patient as she extended her hand and started examining him when after little whiles she said: « His problems are not serious yet, but they will get worse if he does not treat them within a week!! he also lacks a lot of water!! There are also some other little problems around, but they can be treated in one therapy session as they are not dangerous!! », Then, Hana raised her hand and took a step back and looked at the healers as one of them approached and looked at the body and said: « Good! You didn't heal him mistakenly either! », at time the first healer said: « Did you find it difficult to know what the patient is carrying? »

* Actually no!, my grandpa had what is more complex and different and what even harder to be treated too!! », After that, the test was over, and Hana walked out of the room with the acceptance paper in hand, where she was placed among the high-ranking healers, but under the studying note, And accordingly, she will have to work in a team until the day she completes her studies! so that, He will be responsible for writing the reports but they both gonna share on the treatment of patients!!
