The dragon within

17

               ~Leon~

   I'm done working today and I'm getting ready to meet old man Otis who's been helping me train my dragon. It's crazy but since we've been training i have actually almost doubled in bulk. Before I was tall and on the skinnier side but now I have to torn sideways to get through my mothers door to the house. Otis says it's due to Castille  getting the training he needs. I haven't actually let him out because we know I couldn't control him right now and he will go to Joslin and if I kill in anger I was told I will turn dark and we don't know if I would come back or not.  I'm Southbridge there in my meditation because in order to train Castille it's not the physical strength he needs but the mental strength. We've been meeting on my mind for now and we always meet in a field next to a lake. It's so peaceful. We're trying to form a plan when Joslin comes through in mind link telling us Gage is there. 

   I immediately get thrown back into reality and realize I'm about 30 minutes away even with Lex running full force. I tell her to keep him talking I'll be there as soon as I can. I gather my things when Otis and my mother walk in smiling when they notice me in a panic.

   "Where are you going dear you haven't finished your training for today." Mom said holding a cup of tea. 

   "Gage is down there with Joslin" mom grabs my arm trying to get me to slow down and reminds me "love she had been enduring this long before now... what had changed?"

   I look at her and feel tears pouring from my eyes and I tell them both "she's carrying our child" I say as I'm walking out the door leaving mom and Otis both in shock. 

   "I'll start assembling the fighters i have a feeling it's time" Otis said and I nod my head. 

   "I'll give the signal but it ends tonight." I say and start to run in that direction. I howl as I'm running letting all the ones know to be prepared for when I signal. The signal I am supposed to give a war howl and I feel my adrenaline pumping through my veins just thinking about it. Half way there I hear her mind link again telling me Stephen is there. 

   "It would be faster if we flew" Castille says and I wish I could but I promised I would keep him Bay for now. "Not yet Castille I can't risk hurting anyone in town I promised Joslin"

   "Ok but if they hurt her I will no longer obey your orders" Castille says and I agree with him. If they hurt her I will gladly let him take over. 

   We finally reach the dungeons and I smell blood as soon as I open the door but quickly realize it's not Joslin. So I go down the stairs and I was going to talk them into coming up to spar but what I saw froze me in my tracks. I tightened my hands into fists next to my side and felt my has tighten as I was finding my teeth. When I walked in I saw Stephen leaned against the cell door blocking my view of Joslin but I could tell something was wrong the way her hand was dangling off the bed. Gage was on top of her naked body pumping himself into her moaning as he released himself. Stephen stepped to the side when he noticed me and tries to act friendly when I seen her temple bleeding it set us over the edge. 

   My head twisted at an ungodly angle and I felt my own neck snap. Stephen looked at me confused as my right arm flies back as you hear another pop. I throw my head back and let out a beastly roar. Stephen and Gage pale in fear as the walls began to shake from the sound of my roar. The rest of it went quick and I literally grew and was looking down at the cowards. I took a back seat to see what Castille had in store for them. 

   He stomped his foot down on the dungeon gate and opened it with ease. Like opening a soda. The vision of a dragon is so much more intense. With a wolf we can see better than humans like in the dark or what ever but this... I could see sounds. For instance I could see the beating of a Florida wings and there were so many more colors than normal. I could see the battle starting to make way through the stone as I heard the yelling outside. And when I turned to look at Gage and Stephen I could not only smell the fear and hear their heartbeats going at an irregular speed but I could see the palpitations through their chest. Castille then stick his head in the dungeon and seen Joslin still out and turned to look at stephen and Gage and roared again letting them know how angry he really was. They were blubbering and crying saying they were sorry but the most amazing thing was... you can even see the truth if they are lying or not... and these two were definitely lying. Castille then bites down on Stephen's right leg and drags him out of the dungeon. He's screams are music to my ears and Castille wants to wait for Gage so he can see what his fate will be. Stephen is trying to hold on to anything he can grab yelling for Gage to help but he's froze against the window. He finally gets Stephen out and in the middle of the foyer and wastes no time in eating Stephen whole. 

   "Dude that's disgusting we don't even know where he's been" I tell Castille 

   "Yes but look at the fear on him." Castille says proud of himself and I must say that is a beautiful sight. He's hunkered down in a corner with his head between his knees when we see Joslin move it distracts us and he puts his head against her body. She settled back down and I turn back to give my undivided attention back to Gage who's running out the dungeons entrance like the coward he is and begins to run. Castille smiles enjoying a good game of cat and mouse.  

   "Let the games begin" he yells and placed a smile on his face. Gage looks back down at Castille fumbling to get up the stairs and out the door. Gage even locked it trying to but himself more time and starts to run through the battle trying to get away. 

   "Looks like you put the fear of the Goddess in him" I laugh "we did you can see it" says Castille "too bad he's still going to meet his maker"
