Part 17.

Finding the Shopkeeper was no easy task, but I had managed after some time. Upon entering his establishment, supposed magical and mystical trinkets littered the shelves. Dark magic was something I would never associate with and this place was full of it.

"How may I help you, Dragon Knight?"

A man sat at a table before a fireplace. I approached him cautiously.

"I'm looking for someone, and I was told that you knew things."

"Indeed. Who you seek is the Dragon Speaker, correct?"

How this man knew who I was searching for was beyond my understanding of magic. It was ominous, unnatural. But it confirms what Hernos spoke of him was true. I silently nod.

"She is far from here, quite far."

"Where?"

"A Sage's tower. But she is safe, I assure you of that."

"WHERE?" I repeat.

"Beyond the Broken Peaks. A large valley. You shall need this to find him."

The Shopkeeper held out a strange green gem. I took it from him and examined it. In my eyes it was nothing more than a jewel, but it surely served a greater purpose.

"How much for it?"

"Take it. I would only ask that you return the favor one day..."

I was silent as I turned and left the establishment.

It was silent, deathly silent. Quite concerning. That was until the beautiful singing. Opening my eyes, I quickly saw that I was laying upon rocky ground, staring at the cloudy sky above. That's odd...

I would get onto my feet and survey my surroundings. A steep incline lay before me. I could hear the singing coming from that direction. That is where I must go. Walking up the incline, the singing grew louder. It was beautiful, unlike anything I have ever heard.

Upon reaching the top, I quickly discovered it was the top of a large peak.

"You do not belong here, Human..." a voice spoke.

Looking up, I saw to whom the voice belonged to. A massive white, grey and blue dragon with the body of a serpent stood upon another peak. But he was not alone. There were 7 other peaks each with a different type of Dragon standing atop of it, but one.

A dark blue and black dragon stood on the peak next to me, its eyes a deep ocean blue. Beside them stood a tall bipedal purple dragon with large horns, its glare was something of nightmares. On the opposing side of the serpent stood a white dragon with black thorns, next to them being a glowing white gryffin like dragon, and beside them was a sinister looking dark grey dragon.

"I...do not quite know where 'here' is." I replied.

"You are in the realm of the Thunder, standing atop Slyraks peak."

"The Thunder..? By the Gods, you're the Eldwurms..."

The serpent nodded. I recognized him from the one species wurmling I had seen. He was Indrak, Father of Ionics. The large dark blue dragon was Lirrak, Mother of Oceans. And Aetherak, Father of the Air.

I bowed my head to the Eldwurms out of respect.

"It is an honor to meet you all..."

Indrak would raise a brow.
