Old Dragons whisper

* Chapter 10 *

After Hana was untied, she looked at the man of forty in astonishment and asked him.. "Why?!", and so the man replied... " No one is able to have more than one power but the Alpha and his sons!! So if you even are not the Alpha then you are going to be his son! And the last Alpha ever known was my queen!!! The queen of the whole world!! I was her guardian back at their time with my friend!! But he dead in the war, the night before she surrenders herself to the shadow king!!! She couldn't hold his death! So she told me to go to the old school to take cover, and my mission to protect her was done by her order, so I did but my conscience never rested and since the war ended, I started my searches for her!!!

Let me present ourselves to you!! We are a group of warriors who gathered freely to search for the Alpha that disappeared a thousand years ago!! We've searched the world for her but with no avail until we found the king's world who we guess of her presence on!!!" In shock, Hana looked at him and said.. "She's still a life?!!!" , at time the man of forty said sadly " we don't know!! But her disappearance was out of the ordinary as Her body was not found either!!! But tho, who are you?!!!

* « I am Silva Ernesto the upcoming Alpha! Daughter of Cardinia the past Alpha!!! I was found by the Avatar master, Albion!

Me, his son Emilio and my brother Tom found out about the king's world when we felt curios to discover it!!! », The shock that filled his face was more than normal when he fell to the ground and held his heart for a moment as if it had hurt him, then he crawled on his knees towards Hana and hugged her in extremely happiness and unbelievable moments! His tears were falling while hugging her!! When moments later, he stood and walked to the table and said!! « I can't believe! I searched for her in all those places for years, but you appear instead of her!!!! you even came by yourself !!! », Then Hana stood and looked at the maps that was unbelievable!!! He had everything!!!, hidden places and Cardinia's whole world! At time he took out a map and pointed at somewhere and said.. « Here we found the (mysteries of the charms book), We were in the eighteenth at their time! Which Year since our first met! Your mother, me and the guard Joey were walking out at the dawn and most of the times not return until a whole month get pass, we had explored all the corners of the world!! We were so happy with everything we've made!! But the war ended it all!! And until this moment, I could not live my life as I was in her days! I hated the king and his entourage, even after a thousand of years I couldn't kill him yet!!! I watch him every day with his daughter bragging about the number of people they killed And I still believe in her being with him to this day!!!! », Of course Hana's head couldn't comprehend what been said, she looked at him in confusion and said.. "You mean his sons or grandsons! right?!!!!"

* the man of forty :- no one but him!! After killing, deserting, destroying, burning and more as nothing he has done, he still rules his kingdom with arrogance and injustice!!!!

The shock felt Hana, she couldn't focus as the thoughts overlapped each other in her mind «You mean on the first day I really saw the King himself!!!! And that my real mother might be a life and have been imprisoned by him for a thousand years!!!! » she kept looking at the maps in great astonishment as if the world had turned upside down, « everything is moving against its nature! Everything is turning black! What to believe and what should be done next!! », she said in her mind at time someone sat her and gave her some water, she was in a real whirlpool!!! And after few minutes, Hana couldn't stand it and walked out of the mountain from a door that has been craved and sat above the c***k where the second guy where sitting..

Evening passed and night came, but Hana did not understand what was going on in her head, from questions, scattered thoughts and plans on the other sides that she had to organize them!!

At the morning of the next day, the man of forty decided to climb up the mountain, he sat next to Hana where she was leaning on a rock watching the dragons, the tiredness on her face was bad while her eyes were pale and her lips were dry! He gave her his bottle of water when she kept looking at it for awhile then she took it and drank it when the said.. "Your mother was such a great person! she was a sister more than a person who i had to protect !!..

Very smart , intelligent and strong that I've lived with her for only five years, but I've spent a thousand years looking up for her as how much she meant for me!! I don't lie to you but I can't even remember how she was looks like but i remember every details of the five years we spent together, and That's what keeps me going without thinking to stop...

Joey was in love with your mom at that time!!!" He looked at Hana with a smile on his face, trying to get her out of the frame she was in when she said " Could he still be alive?!!",

* the man of forty :- I don't think so!! We left him the last time in the world of Cardinia, when the siege on the kingdom intensified! He wanted me to get your mother out alive, so he sacrificed and distracted a number of soldiers until I was able to get your mother out with a group of people!!! I managed it successfully, but I don't think he did it either!! I haven't seen him since then!!

He was a great man with a great honer! May his soul rest in peace!!!", Hana's eyes began to glaze at time he looked at his hands, and the silence got on whether a bit, when later Hana said... " you said yesterday that only the alpha's sons that could have more than one power!! could they have only one?!!"

* the man of forty :- It does happen but it's rare! Because only the weak Alpha who will have normal sons, and the world law Provides for the placement of the Alpha in the best school of his time and with this law there will be no weak alpha and his sons will have more than one power and at least two!!!

* And my mother was a great warrior?!!

* the man of forty :- yes, she was!! It would be impossible to have a normal son!! But the impossible can often happen!!!", And of course Hana was thinking about Tom as a lot of other questions Which she couldn't arrange yet!!!

the advent of the man of forty was a great thing what made Hana to feel better at that morning!! And in the evening of the same day, Hana could made herself even more better so, she came down from the mountain, and went where she could hear the men's voices, where the seven of them were gathered around the fire, cooking their supper! She sat and looked at the flames were it was stunning, then she looked at the man of forty and said.. " may i ask you to teach me how to heal people up?!!", Her question was a bit strange at time she was supposed to think about her mother and her presence near the king, not to learn a new skill so, the man of forty straightly understood that she put a plan in her head!! he looked at the flames a while then he said.. "You know! i spent a thousand years on putting plans and trying to reach them undercover because i know how dangerous the king is!! i was as careful as i must be, to stay a alive to have more time to try more plans!!! If i only confront the King by any plan then i would get a short answer that then will set me death and this short answer won't reach the rest and so, they will keep trying to reach me and your mom until it will cause of their deaths and the death of more else over the years!! That is why we must not rush to take plans whose opponent is a mighty person with a great army!! And if you insist on to learn it then it will take about a month so you can to!!! Because the ability of healing is the third level of the power of shadows! And so, to learn it you must to learn the first two which you already have the first!! And the second is the explosive smoke which is so sensitive power and must be taught under high advisement and gently!!!"

* is there more levels of the shadows power?!

* the man of forty :- yes! Only one which is the highest one, the scarlet fire!!

The most powerful power I've ever seen!!! A transparent fire that you can't see it but you can feel it! And once you feel it then you are surely dead!!! Since you can't escape from it, as no one can escape from something can't be seen!! However, it is fast that a piece of it has the capability of eliminating an entire village and That's what makes it the most powerful power!!!

It's little weird that the Avatar master haven't teach you or you even haven't seen the powers' levels before!!!

* I've read before about some of them but i didn't see them at the reality! Like the whispers power which the first level allows you to see the past of what you've touched but it takes you exactly to the thing's past where your eyes are going to roll up letting everyone to see and understand what you're doing!! While the second level enables you to see the past in the present! So that you will see it in front of you among those who's around you in the present, and your eyes won't role up! you are going to be between the past and the present!! and thereby no one will be able to know of your reading!!! The third and the last is to read the humans' past...

I read some levels of powers that i previously needed to reach particular goals!

* the man of forty:- Were you able to learn them on your own?

* yes for the whispers but not yet for its last level!! The ‏dominatortion and the vision through powers as well!!

* the man of forty:- wait!!! The dominatortion power!!!!!

* yes!!! I used to control my dragon to follow a crow that i didn't rest for!! And i know how strong the power is! And that it's nation been exiled from their great crimes! But I'm much careful about it!!!

* the man of forty:- You must to be more than much careful of it, because it's not just a power, but rather a disease that affects a person after going deep into it!! Some believes that the highest level of this power is the madness of control, whose its owner does not cease to stop controling, and with which he may have destroyed the world!!! And It's second level is to control a whole army that has billions of soldiers and to control them all as easy as to control one!!!

* i read that before!! And that's why i only use it when i feel the presence of the crow!!! But tho, Are you OK to teach me?!!

# « the smoke man :- sir, allow me to try her in one challenge!! » Then the man of forty looked at Hana as pointing out that it is her decision if she wants to join! And Hana straightly stood up and decided to take up the challenge!!! He took her little further from the rest when he said.. « i want you to open your mind as much as you can and to think that you're able to release what is stronger than what you think you can do!! », at time he bowed to Hana as a greeting to begin the challenge, then he looked at her, smiled and raised his hands to pull out all the fires that were lighting the surrounding around them and put them as a circle of fire around them, as if it was the arena when he said.. « To win, one of us must make a circle around like this and thus, it must not be turned off for certain of time!, and now, if you are ready or not, here i start!!! », Then he extended his hand, pointed at and pulled out all the fire again, making it to be dark..

In an instant after, Hana raised her hand to lit a ball of fire on her hand as to see around her, but once she did, the fire she lit got exploded very bad, a huge explosion that pushed Hana in great force and throw her away back, The astonishment that she felt and the panic of the sudden explosion made her to stand up in shock the moment she reached the ground when she said.. «hell no!!!! Am i allowed to use my other powers?! »

* the smoke man :- Yes! But your weapon remains your enemy!!!

At this moment, Hana threw balls of crystals ice but as well, it had exploded the moment they got thrown out! So, the smoke man said.. " All the powers in all their kinds, at time they be casted out, they emit different amounts of waves, which interact after with this sensitive smoke and so that, it explode! And even one small wave can effect it, if it was available then the explosion is inevitable!!!", And so, Hana stood thinking of that whatever she'll attack him by would hurt her instead as long as he's still casting out that smoke!!

Hana looked around as she could see nothing but the darkness at time she thought of her dragon, to use it to see through his eyes! and Once the dragon stood on her head, Hana looked at the smoke man!! He was standing in his place without any movement, as he was using his sense of hearing whereas shooting a lot of smoke randomly around! but He never knew that he had just give Hana a great opportunity to begin on her plan!! She straightly started on forming a large ball of ice around him to cover him up which was taking a long time as she was trying not to make strong waves that would make the smoke around them to sense it and explode!! And after she finished forming the ball, she made sure that it was solid and that it's not leaking his smoke, then she began to push the smoke around her with light winds until it completely disappeared! And once it did, she straightly caste the fire in circle around them as he did, to announce her victory and to shock him up!!

Once the fire lit the surroundings, the smoke man opened his eyes forcefully in shock, he looked around him as he could see nothing but the smoke what made him to realize the danger she put him in, his smoke had filled the ball up until the compression, which made his face expression in huge astonishment, as he begun quickly to reduce the smoke before it explode!! Hana laughed at him because of the shock he felt, and said.. " Now your power is latterly your enemy!!!", And after a while, Hana dissolved the ball and set him free, and once he got out, everyone sat by the fire laughing at what happened when the smoke man said while the shock was still on his face... «I didn't expect that at all!!!»..

* Does that mean that I can join you in your missions?!!!

* the man of forty:- No it's not!!! You're not ready enough!! And as i can see, you could manage a plane! Can you share it with us?

* it's not ready yet and lots of missing points that i couldn't solve! But I'm sure that healing is going to have a big part in it!! So if we can start tomorrow morning maybe!!!!, shall we?!!!!", ‎‏And this is what really happened!!!, the next morning Hana was woken up by the smoke man, who then took her to a place that almost too far away from the mountain, to where the abandoned old houses and said.. "If we dead here from our smokes then i guess no one ever would find our burned bodies!!!", he laughed and so Hana did when afterwards they begun on their training, which was at the beginning difficult until she could understand that it's all about her self-confidence and that she can do whatever she sees, then learning became easier and so, she was able to control the power better...

The days started passing as training went on, and the day of Hana's birthday came, she stood next to the flames while the dinner was being prepared and said... ""I am so happy to be here between you at this special day as I inaugurate a new age of my lifetime! i've finally become a grown-up person who can make his decisions by himself!!"", Everyone was happy and congratulated when the man of forty said.. " The announcement that the alpha herself has reached 18 is a big announcement and is supposed to be celebrated globally for this day!!! I don't expecting that the avatar is calm with your presence here and not next to him!!!""

* he does!! I saw the men he sent first day! I left my brother so they take him, but i won't ever go back until i do what i came for!!! To complete what my mother left for me to finish!!!

* the man of forty:- You think it's easy?!! Your mother was a thousand times better than you, she was a warrior feared by everyone in all the world, not just her world! And tho...

* she got disappeared!!!

* the man of forty:- yes!!! I hope you to understand that you're not yet ready to join us!!! Even though you could manage to win a fight that it stills a fight who its opponent was only standing!!! Don't think that they are going to stand as him and to wait for you to make your decision!!! they will t*****e you after the arresting then they will heal you up so they complete torturing you in a non-timed place where you will be forever under their arrest!!! It's awful!!!!" Hana looked sadly at the flames while thinking what might be the solution, and thereafter, she went to her room thinking and fell into a sleep...

And after an entire month of being with the men, Hana woke up that morning in awe at a vision she had, Sweat filled her up and the shock as well!!! She headed directly to the man of forty and said!!.. "I had a vision! It was so awful that my heart went to get out of my chest!!!, it was a dark basement with little light from couple fire sticks that were hanged on the walls , the filthy smells and dirt were horrible, where it seemed as a prison that the entrance was closed by iron bars and many locks!!

My eyes were swollen and sores me that blocked the clear vision!, My body was marginalized, I couldn't even move my heavy head off of the ground! but, i could sight that crucified man in front of me, who was wailing from the t*****e whom two men were doing to him while interrogating him about stuffs that none of it he answered!!! And whiles after, the two men had enough of him so, they headed out and closed the iron bars by its locks then they ride the stairs and sounds of opening another iron bars that then they had closed its locks as well!! Then somehow my body began to move, i stood up and leaned against the wall and looked at the number of corpses lying on the ground and how much bad they were!! I headed after that towards the crucified man very weakly as i was swaying left and right!!! And after suffering, I was able to reach the cross, where I clung to it tightly and heavily i raised my head to look at the crucified man, but everything began to twist and blur that prevented me to identify who could he be!! But once I looked at him, he raised his head and started coughing so hard when then he said... " HANA!!! They are coming!! Tell everyone fast!!!", Then he started coughing again as his head started to weigh on his chest, then he raised it a little and said.. "They are so prepared with huge numbers, you must to tell the Avatar master!!!! THEY ARE MYCH WORST!!!", He coughed, then his head fell on his chest when i started coughing too, and the blood started coming out of my mouth and nose that i couldn't hold the pain so, i fell on the ground bad...

I woke up after that with terrible pain as if it was a side effects of the vision!!!"...

** hope you like it **
