Old Dragons whisper

* chapter 9 *

After all, Hana decided to not go back until she meets the dragons and to see whether if they were hiding something or not!!! She walked lightly away from Tom and Adeodatus' vision and had hide herself in some corners until when she made sure that the way to the eastern gate was safe! And so fast she managed to reach the gate but once she put her hand on it, she found it was made up by a heavy iron materials that to open it by pushing is very impassible!! And as a result Hana begun to look around as to see whether she can jump from somewhere or any other solutions when she noticed a little girl who was standing at front of a narrow path in the street and waving her hand to Hana, at time Hana felt weird and thought maybe she needs some help and thus, Hana started to walk towards her when the girl ran into the narrow path while stood at its end and looked at Hana again, So Hana completed her walking to her and once she got closer to her, the girl begun to run and entered the left side of the path where there were an old wooden door! She gave Hana a wave and signaled her to come and so then, she entered inside!!

Hana looked around a little worriedly, but then she went to the door, pushed it quietly and looked inside stealthily, It was an old office with a young woman sitting at her desk while jotting some notes in a little notebook when Hana knocked the door and said... « Good evening lady! May i enter? », the woman turned around at Hana as to see her when she replied... « Oh! Yes of course » at time she stood and gestured to Hana to sit on the chair but Hana said directly... « There was a girl who kept pointing at me to follow her!!! »...

# « You where trying to go to the eastern side of the kingdom?!!! », at time Hana looked at the woman in shock and weirdness when she completed and said... « She's my little sister!! I told her to bring whoever wants to go to the eastern side!!! I can help you if you want!!! You just have to prove that you can run!!! It's just to be fast enough!! »

* « why is that!!! »

# « To escape from all the danger that you might face!! »

* « and how would I prove it?!!! » at that moment the woman put the notebook down on the desk and said.. « by only one test!!! And this test is about to begin! come with me!!! », In the office there was a tall old closet, the woman walked towards it and opened it, then she removed its back cover from the inside to reveal a door behind it, she entered it after that, and so does Hana! At time she found out that the place was an average football field medium in length, as it was surrounded by the walls of the surrounding houses from all the sides and only few whose had windows!, and there also were about twenty young men and women standing behind each other in regular line when the woman asked Hana to join them, when later a man came and stood in front of the line and said to the woman... « Their number is done now?!! » at time the woman replied «yes! We can start!!! »

* the man :- Hi everyone!!! Now, your number is completed as the volunteers of this week! Each of you has a reason to join, perhaps for adventure!, searching for money!, or even to look for those who have previously entered and have not returned!!!

Crossing the gate could mean death, or a new life!!, A life of luxury or perhaps torment!!!, And as a result of the danger of crossing the gate, we only set one condition which is the ability of running to each volunteer as the only thing he might need to survive!!! The test is going to be a running competition but not only between each other, but between you and medium sized dragons!!! And so that, whoever reach the winning line before the dragons will be able to go but who reach after won't be able to!! Is it clear?!!! », everyone said in loud.. " yes sir!!! " when later the man ordered them to stand on a line where behind each one of them a dragon! And after everyone had prepared, the man started counting down from three, and as soon as he reached one, everyone started running as fast as they could But Hana's speed wasn't fast enough to get ahead of them! And a a result, she directed her hands slightly towards the ground as then she cast a light wind that made her speed to increase by making her steps lighter and thus, it enabled her to reach before the dragons...

Hana and two other men have succeeded when the man stood and said... " Three have made it, so the rest are kindly requested to leave the place and to try in next week!!!", at time the rest left the place the man, the woman, Hana and the two other volunteers went out to the office, at time when the woman was closing the closet, the man gave the volunteers a paper so they write their names when Hana looked at the paper, she decided to write up her name ( Silva Ernesto, 17 yrs old female ...) and handed the paper over as the two men...

And thereafter, they all headed to the gate but the weird thing Hana noticed was the streets that were empty so Hana asked the woman when she said... " of course it's empty!!! It's Saturday! People are praying!! Why would we open the gate so easily?!!", and so Hana understood that she's about to do what's out of law but tho, nothing will stop her!!!

The woman after that stood in front of the door when she grabbed her hands and cast a fire when little later the fire turned to a dragon whose directly and very fast headed to the gate lock while the fire was getting hugger and brighter than each second before it Until the lock made a loud popping sound, which means it has finally been unlocked! the man then started to push it, and as soon as it opened, the woman said... « I will stand every night at the gate so when you finish whatever you went for! then, you must to wait until the night and to make owls' sounds, i will directly open the gate!... », When she got finished, the man got out the three of them and immediately closed the gate!!

It was a rocky desert that the sun was so blazing and they could hardly see the high rocks clear from the High Heat Ripples!! At that time one of the two men looked at Hana and the other one and said... « If you want to follow me to take you from the safest paths to the most precious monuments, then that's fine!! My name is Milo and I'm coming here every week since a month!! », at time the other man extent his hand to greet him back when he said... « My name is Samuel, and it's nice to meet you!!! » and thereafter, Hana present herself too when she said while was looking for something around her.. « Milo! Can you please tell me where surly i can find the earth pleasant dragons?! »

*Milo :- « they are in everywhere!!! You will think for once that what you are seeing is a big rock but in a second it will turns out to be that dragon! So be careful!!! », at that moment, Hana looked at a point when she pointed at it and said.. « So! If i goes there i will fond them?!!! », in very weird expression he replied « yes!!!!!! »

* « then i guess i found my way!!!! Anyone wants to join me?!!! You will have such a great adventure!! », of course, the two men looked at each other in weirdness when Milo said... « And!!! What are you going to do?!!! »

* « play with them!!! Explore their burrow!!! »

*Milo :- You must be kidding me!!!!

*Samuel :- I can understand that you have read some books about these pleasant dragons!! That they are cute, sociable and very kind to everyone!! But these are not!!! they're wild and will never be as what the books said!!!!

* Believe me!!! They are all my friends and won't ever hurt me!!! So!, if you want to join me you both will be safe!!

And as expected! The two men refused to join Hana, as they looked at her with a weird expression, expressing her stupidity and madness that would lead to her death, and accordingly, Hana set out to complete her journey alone as she began to take an open road under the sun, which soon made her to feel very tired and from that, she could not distinguish between the rocks and whether they were dragons!! But nevertheless she noticed one of the rocks that was shaking more heavily than the others, and as much as she was tired, Hana stood looking at the rocks and begun to compare them to each other when she heard Milo and Samuel screaming loudly to her to run and only after that, she could focus and realize that a raging dragon was running brutality towards her!! At that time Hana stood for a while, looking at the dragon to see whether would he realize that she's the alpha, but he never did, His body was making loud noises with his enormous size and his madness made Hana to be prompted to run in great fear into the two men where they were under one of the rock's hollow!!! And as soon as she reached them, the three of them jumped on the ground and began to push the sand over them so that the dragon would not see them!!!

Time passed while the three of them continued on the ground as the dragon was circling the place searching again and again and once they felt of his left, they sat and looked at each other in shock when Samuel said in trauma.. " he was more wild than what i expected!!!", at time Milo said.. " i thought he will never leave us!!!" But Hana's shock was different, she stood up while her mind was blowed up of thinking of why didn't the dragon realize her when she said.. " There's something wrong with these dragons!!!!", what made Milo to be really mad and said.. " Do you know what's the really wrong in here?!! It's your brain health!!! If we could manage to get out of here alive, Then i will make sure to take you to my brother, he's a healer and i will make sure personally that your brain is getting checked well!!!!!"

* I'm not crazy and I'm not joking!!!!

* « Milo :- neither I !!!!!! », he kept looking at Hana while his finger was pointed at her as if he swearing to let her die and won't ever help her again when he took his deep breath and completed... «Look! Each of us came here for a reason and wants to get out in full health and has achieved what he came for, so just stay with me and don't do stupid things that might end us all or else I won't be able to help you!!!! », at time Samuel said as to help Milo.. « I will trust you to go back fine to my family!! », Hana then shook her head, but her expression was completely unsatisfied and angry but thereafter, they started their journey again by walking under anything covered as to be much safe of the dragons while heading towards a place that has a lot of antiques objects that they can pick up and sell afterwards in the Kingdom at high prices...

However, after they had walked a long way, they started hearing the noises of a dragon's movements when they lay down on the ground and looked at each other waiting him to go away, but another dragons came too with great numbers and begun to surround where the three of them were!

The more time passes, the more dragons around them increases that their bodies began to shrivel while even talking was dangerous!! And when it become to be about an hour without moving, Hana got inpatient and decided to stand and to hind herself while sitting so that she can be more comfortable and so she carefully stood as fast as she managed to stand and hide in a corner inside the hollow rock!!! And at time milo saw Hana he closed his eyes from the panic he felt of, thought of his end when he started to push the sand over him more and more, and so did Samuel...

Hana laughed quietly on them as they were so funny to her when she noticed an eyes staring at her! And once she looked at the left side she saw a small earth pleasant dragon's eye watching her what made her heart to come out of her chest in panic but in an instant the dragon made a sad sound as if he were asking her gently to go out when he started to get in his hand as to reach her, what made Hana to understand that she is finally recognized by the dragons and she's safe to go!!! At that time she walked to the dragon and touched him whereas he was as happy as Hana! And only then she could feel safe to go out but first, she looked at the two men and said... «guys! I'm finally able to go with the dragons so see you soon!!! », They were both under the sand and made no sound and without even moving, then Hana went out to the dragons and looked at them with joy, as they all felt her presence and that's why they had gathered around her and so, one of them bent over for her so she rides him and indeed Hana climbed on and then they started to move heading for somewhere which Hana guessed to be their burrow...

Every step was taken by the dragon that Hana was riding was gathering a great number of dragons that all were like the herd and Hana was in their middle!! And at some point Hana was able to tell where they were heading!!

A large mountain from afar, with a c***k that is large from the bottom and gets smaller until it disappears from the top Which looks like an entrance to a hollowed mountain!!! However, After a few minutes, Hana noticed that the annoying noises the dragons was making that it's because of the dryness of their tough skin! and at time she was thinking finally they arrived at the mountain where she got off of the dragon, and looked happily at its entrance! It was clearly dark inside so Hana cast a fire and kept it on her hand while lowered her head and so, she took her first steps into it But suddenly something happened that she never expected it!!!!

# stop at where you are!!!!

A weird voice came from behind her that made her head to blow up! How could he manage to come here or who could he be!!!!, and Of that she put out the fire and took two steps back so that she could raise her head again, then she carefully turned back to find out a man wearing a sleeveless shirt and covering his head with a hoodie, where his body showed signs of burns, scars and a lot of t*****e marks!! And at some point he started to cast a black smoke from his hands!!!

((( note:- the smoke is the second level of the shadow's power!!)))

However, in an instant he said.. « Who are you and how did you manage to get here?!!! », and so Hana replied in concern after lots of thinking «I'm just a volunteer! looking for some antiques objects to sell!!!! »

# « Just a volunteer can't reach here! », at that time the smoke increased, his legs took the position to attack and so, he clenched his fist!, Hana's tongue clenched and she didn't know what to do when he completed.. " Let me show you a danger you may not be aware of! This smoke will explode when you release any kind of powers because it is so sensitive to the slightest movement, and if I did cover you with it, it may explode before you even blink!! Which mean your death!!! So, why are you really here for?!! my patient started to ran out!!!" And accordingly, Hana got much worried of his smoke so she got impatient and so nerves, so she cast a strong amount of wind that hit him very bad and pushed him away from her place, and as soon as he was erased away, Hana pushed the smoke away by little winds when another man's voice appeared from above.. '' oooh!!!! I didn't expect that!!!!"

Another thing just happened that Hana wasn't prepared for which is the presence of another man! He was sitting above the c***k of the mountain that was not in anyone's field of vision and Seeing Hana using the earth power shocked him and so, he jumped off and said in trauma.. " Did you just use the earth power?!!!!!" At time the first man started moving to stand while he was in pain from the severity of Hana's blow when he said... « That's impossible!! She was casting a fire when i stopped her!!! », The sharp facial expression with the scars were frightening when the second man looked at Hana with great astonishment, he supported his friend to stand up and then both looking at Hana when the second man said.. « I'm sure of seeing her pushing your smoke by the air!!! »

# So you mean!!!! "With confusion"

## Shadow power and earth power!!!!! "In shock"

### And the Walzoos power too!!! "with confidence"

The third man appeared behind Hana which on that way they become three that made Hana to think about how many more there might be!?! And once she tried to peek at him, he said.. « her dragon is standing at her neck!!! It looks so unique one!!!!», Hana looked at him from the corner of her eyes when she said... « I got it from the old school! It was given to me by the seven masters!! »

### did the seven masters tell you to come here?!!

* No, I found the map by my own!!! And so i came!!!

### "The only map exists with a man whose in a place where you can't ever find!!!", and in an instant the man looked at the two others and said.. "tied her up and cover her eyes!! she can't be ordinary person!!!", And accordingly, the first man let out a lot of smoke that obscured the view of the place, the moment Hana looked around to try to escape, the second man suddenly caught her and tied her completely!! After that, both of the first men began on searching for the dragon under her hair, on her neck, and until her back, but as how much they looked for it they couldn't find when the third man came and extended his hand right at the place of the dragon and got him out, so simply!!!

The dragon was a small lizard that was easy to be carried and to be put in the palm of the hand!! However, The two men picked up Hana and took her to a place where she couldn't recognize anything except that it wasn't in the outside!!! The third man sat her down, and kept her handcuffed and feet bound as he gave her her dragon back while saying... "You won't get any use out of it anyway!!!" Then the sounds of his feet began to move away until the quiet!!

For a while Hana sat there to make sure that the place was safe, and as soon as she sensed that the right opportunity had come, she used the vision through power That made her to see everything around her! She was sitting alone in a little cramped room inside the hollow mountain, which had been poorly carved on the inside!! And after she was assured of the place, she controlled the dragon's body and started moving around!!! And thereby, she found the entrance that has a table next to it with a lot of papers scattered all over it, but tho, there was no one there as well, the thing that made Hana to get encouraged to try to untie herself! so that she can have a look on what's on the table, But to untie her hands, feet, and eyes was an impossible thing to do, So she crawled herself into the entrance room and continued on watching around by her dragon, but as soon as she arrived, she heard a loud shout from the outside that said.. « they are here!!! they arrived », Then a man in his forties with a white beard and a healthy body entered and looked at Hana in confusion when four men entered that each two of them were carrying a wounded man which mean there were two really bad wounded men!!

And soon the two been laid on the ground when the man of forty came and covered all of his hands like the cloves with a blue fire and began to burn the first wounded man's wounds what made him cry out in pain That Hana couldn't sit still while hearing him dying from the pain! and therefore, she started yelling at him to stop but, he never listen and kept burning and burning!!! After that, she tried to get up and to push him away of him but she was tied up and so they caught her and sat her easily...

Hana kept watching from her dragon's eyes while her tears were shedding from sadness but at some point she noticed that the man's wounds were starting to disappear!!! And in seconds, he was completely healed, the man of forty begins to burn the wounds of the other man and he also began to heal up what blow Hana's mind and in shock she said.. " DID YOU JUST HEAL HIM UP?!!!! ", The seven men in the room all looked at her in astonishment, while the man of forty brushed his hands while his eyebrows were stuck together in confusion at time he took few steps towards her and said.. " HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT I JUST PATCHED HIM?!!" Only then Hana could remember where she was looking from when she turned back to her eyes and looked at what she had just put herself at when the man repeated his question very seriously with taking few more steps ahead .. " HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS HEALING HIM?!!!!" So Hana answered in fear.. " my dragon just told me!!!", Then he got down on his knees in front of Hana and removed the cover of her eyes and said... " Dragons can't notice such a thing!!!" And at the same time the first man said.. "you shouldn't remove the cover!!!!"

* the man of forty :- she's already watching us!!! "In confidence"

At time the silence felt the place when the man of forty said.. " Who brought her ?!!!" So the first man said.. "She came by her own and i caught her up!!! We noticed that she was casting more than a power what blow our minds!!!!", The man was shocked at what he heard and looked at Hana in great astonishment when he said.. " who is your mother?!!!! Who are you?!!!!", but though, Hana didn't answer and kept looking at him sharply when he looked at the third man when he started to untie her up...
