The Lost Dragon Eye (Discontinued)

Chapter 5 The Forest

It had been a few days since I left home and I missed it there was nothing more than I missed but I know I had to do it for them and for future  generations of all the kingdoms. I was walking through the forest, hearing the birds sing and feeling the sunshine on the back of my neck made me feel good and happy although I was homesick, just maybe this adventure would bring me the excitement I sought. 

I was interrupted by my thought when I heard the snap of a twig I smiled "Luke I know your there you can come out now" I heard him chuckle, "How did you know it was me?" he  asked, " because we have been raised together since we where hatchlings did you really think you could follow me and not have me notice?" I questioned him "No I was just curious how long it would take you to notice that's all" " Well I noticed you following me about an hour after I left" I said. " That sounds about right" after that we walked together enjoying the sunshine on are skin and the sights of the forest. Pointing out the different creatures that lived with in the forest some we recognized and others we didn't. "So did dad send you out here to watch over me?" I asked, he looked shocked at the question and took his time answering it. 

" Well yes and no I was supposed to follow you for a little than report back to him sometime tomorrow afternoon but you found me first."  " Well you where not hiding very well I bet every creature in a 5-mile radius could here you."  I joked and we laughed it was good to have some company even if it was unplanned, I just whish he would tell me the truth on why he was actually here. I decided that he would tell me when he was ready, whatever it was I hope he knows that I am here for him no matter what.

 "Abby", "Abby" he said pulling me out of my thoughts, "Huh?" "Do you here that?" He asked. I closed my mouth and opened my ears I could here the roaring of a water fall. "Last one there is a rotten egg" I yelled as I ran towards the noise. When I got there it was like nothing I have never seen, the fall was a beautiful brilliant blue the water sparkled as the sunlight Danced  off of it, I closed my eyes and soaked it all up it was one of the most amazing thing I had every experienced and I would treasure it in my heart forever. 

I was about to jump into it when I heard familiar foot steps and heavy breathing when I turned to my right there stood Luke, panting and sweating, "Are you okay Luke?" I asked " Yeah just need some time to catch my breath" he said  almost out of breath. "Out of shape there Luke?"  I asked as he was trying to find a good spot to sit down in the shade." No your just fast that's all" He said, I chuckled under my breath. What ever helps you sleep at night I thought to myself, I was going to ask him if he was ready to take a dive when we heard a howl in the distance we looked at each other. " Where Wolf" we said in unison.
