Back to Kumandra

Part 13

"T-This is really bad...Are you SURE it is the Druun?" asked Jagan frantically.

"We are 100% positive that it is." replied Namaari

"I'll go and get the other dragons. Stay here." Jagan flew to get his siblings and in just about a minute and few seconds, they arrived. Raya and Namaari bowed and Pengu said in a worried tone, "Are you girls sure about this?"

"Yes Pengu. We both saw it. But it was small and it is in Heart as well." explained Raya

"Hmm... I know what to do. I'll summon the other dragons to go off in teams and patrol the other lands aerially. If they're in the forest, we'll find them." Said Pranee.

"Great idea. Go." approved Pengu.

"I think I know who can help us. Supira. The wise dragon. Remember that before the Druun came, she warned us. And she is a Historian as well." Suggested Sisu.

"That's right." recalled Pengu.

"Raya, Namaari, hold on tight." Said Sisu as she held them. The dragons flew far away to a cave that was disguised as a thicket of plants. 

"Wow...I never knew this was here." expressed Raya.

"Of course you didn't. You're not a dragon." teased Sisu.

They all slowly entered and Pengu said, "Supira, are you here?"

"Pengu." Supira expressed. "It's great to see you. Why are humans here with you?"

"The Druun is back." said Pengu.

"Was there any prophecy of this Supira?" asked Raya.

"I knew something was off in the atmosphere...but they must have been summoned and not returned on their own." explained Supira.

"How is that even possible?" asked Namaari.

"We live in a world of good and evil. And there is a secondary dimension with every villain that have been casted from Kumandra but they can be summoned."

"Would it work like how I summoned Sisu from her sleep after she defeated the Druun?" asked Raya.

"Yes. The thing is, I don't know who could have known about those ancient spells and curses. Or where the summoning would have been performed. Where was the first Druun sighting?"

"In my homeland, Heart. A servant last night was terrified and explained that she saw flowers and some small animals turn to stone but she hasn't seem the actual entity." explained Raya.

"Then, we'll go to Heart at once. We need to put an end to this at once. After the years and pain and terror, this CANNOT return again." Said Pengu.

They all left for Heart. Raya wasn't feeling too well but she didn't say anything. There was a very persistent pain in her lower stomach. Her facial expressions of being in pain didn't go unnoticed though. Namaari knew her too well and knew something was wrong. After landing, she went over to her and said, "You okay dep la?"

"Y-Yeah..." Said Raya

"I'm watching you. I know something's up."  thought Namaari.

"Druun turns whatever they touch to stone. So look for stoned plants or animals and we'll be able to possibly train where it has first come from." said Supira.

While searching, the pain Raya felt worsened and it was getting impossible to ignore. She stopped at a big oak tree and leaned against it, slightly groaning in pain. Namaari was on the lookout for her and when she wasn't in sight she said, "Hey where's Raya?" 

The dragons diverted their attention to locating Raya. Namaari found her and helped her as she struggled to stand upright. "What's wrong dep la?" she asked gently.

"I...I don't feel good."

Namaari lifted her and said, "I'll take her to her room. It's a good thing we're at her home."

"Be careful." said Pengu.

Namaari carried her with ease and when the servants and her father saw that she was not okay, they rushed to assist her. After taking her to her room, the medical team entered alongside her Ba. "What happened Namaari?" asked Benja.

"I'm not sure what's wrong. She looked so weak while traveling but told me she's fine then while looking for the creatures, we found her against a tree, breathing heavily and very weak." explained Namaari.

"Thank you for looking after her princess." expressed Benja.

"That's my duty, Chief."

Raya was conscious and her Ba knelt next to her on her bed and said, "What's wrong dew drop?"

"Ba...I...I'm in pain..." 

"Where?"

"She rubbed her lower tummy to show where was aching."
