Dragon's curse

chapter fifty three

It has been a few years and I think that I am close to finding Ash. I last heard that she was at a tarot card reading in the north, I can’t help but like she is something or for some reason. 

Three years later, Jaff slowly walked through the dark misty forest as a slight pressure filled the air. For the longest moment, Jaff was uncomfortable, like he was being watched by someone or something as he noticed that there were no birds singing or nacher that surrounded him. It was as if the animals were scared of something, Jaff listened for the slightest sounds that happened around him but there was nothing but silence except for each twig that he stepped on as he walked.

“Man, now I know how Ash felt when she had traveled alone and if she traveled alone at all.” Jaff said to himself aloud. 

Suddenly there was a small sound like someone breathing as low as he could and carefully. Jaff slowly and carefully followed the sound in breathing silently, the wind blew quickly past him for a second as he continued to follow the sounds. Three minutes later, spotted what looked to be two dragons in a small prairie field in the distance. He slowly tiptoed through the woods as he tried to avoid stepping on anything that would make noise until he reached a small tree that sat a few feet from the two dragons and hid behind the tree. Jaff peaked around the tree while staying hidden behind the tree so as to not be seen, he carefully listened to what was going on as he steadied his breath as to not get caught. He quickly noticed that one of the dragons looked a lot like Ash, she laid down onto the ground in pain as the other dragon across from Ash and watched intently as she breathed heavily from the aching feeling that filled her entire body. 

The dragon said without any imoshion, “The pain you feel will pass soon.”

Ash said in pain as she clenched her claws together into what looked like a fist, “Screw… you!”

After a few more minutes, Ash passed out in an instant as her eyes grew heavy to the point where she could no longer keep her eyes open any longer. The dragon smiled as she watched the scales on Ash turn from wite to blood red as the creases in between the scales emanated a bright white light. Suddenly, the dragon caught on fire out of nowhere in an instant, she quickly turned into Ashes. For a second there was silence, Jaff watched as the Ashes floated in the air as they hovered over Ash’s body and slowly landed onto her body. Smoke came out of Ash’s body where the Ashes landed, four minutes later, the smoke slowly dissipated into the sky as the stench of burning skin filled Jaffs nostrils. Jaff quickly curved his nose in disgust as he watched Ash lay silently as if she wasn’t alive any more. Suddenly, there was the sound of birds squealing in fear as they took off from the trees that they were perched on in an instant as Ash slowly opened her eyes. The color in her eyes changed from blue to blood red and Jaff quickly noticed there was the look of hatred in her eyes. The hair on the back of Jaff’s neck stood up as he watched Ash stand up on her feet and instantly flew away into the daylight sky. 

Jaff quickly said in a slightly scared voice, “I have a bad feeling about this but I think there is something hidden in me and that is why I kept blacking out.”

He slowly removed his shirt as he prepared to transform when a voice stopped him in his tracks. Jaff quickly turned around and a surprised look came across his face as a man walked towards him. After the man was only inches from Jaff, he instantly stopped in his tracks. 

Jaff asked in a surprised voice, “Who are you and why did you stop me?”

“Wow, you don’t recognize me? How sad that you forgot your eight hundredth uncle Sam.” Sam said calmly with a smile.

Jaff said in surprise, “Uncle Sam, is that really you?”

Sam nodded his head yes as he said while turning around, “Follow me Jaff.”
