The Dragon Prince - THE LONG LOST SON OF AARAVOS - Book 1

The Horrible Truth

Rayla watched Callum all night. Callum was under a lot of stress and it was like he was losing himself from the mirror.

She blamed Aaravos, of course she couldn't blame her own boyfriend for how he is reacting to Aaravos possessing him back at the storm spire.

At the thought of how much stress and issues he's been under, she wanted to help him through it. She wants to be there for him.

Hours past and Rayla was half asleep cuddling Callum, not wanting to let him go.

The sun was shining through the plum red curtains. Rayla could hear the birds singing there songs.

The sun shined on the bed. She noticed that Callum moved his head a little bit. He was probably starting to wake up.

"Callum," Rayla said softly rubbing is cheek with her fingers.

Callum groaned. Then he slightly opened his eyes turning his head towards Rayla to see her happy sleepy face. He smiled slightly.

"Hey," Callum said groaning, trying to wake up.

"Hey!," Rayla said cuddling in his arm.

Callum lifted his head to rub his eyes with his fingers.

"Are you feelin' ok?," Rayla said putting her hand on his forhead to check if he was hot or not.

"I think so... Did I... Pass out again?," Callum said pausing confused.

"Yeah you did... Rayla said.

She could see that Callum is tired of passing out.

Callum turned his head to look at Rayla.
She was glad that he was awake and feeling OK.

"I'm sorry that this is happening," Callum said looking at Rayla looking like he was confused and tired.

"Callum there is no need to apologize, you did nothing wrong," Rayla said hugging him for comfort.

Callum sighed in relief.

Callum later waked through the halls of the castle to the area where he could get fresh air.

As Callum was walking  he heard mysterious whistling in his ears.

As the whistling continued, he walked into a room that's usually empty for storage.

As he walked in, the whistling turned into a deep voice.

"Take the cover off," he heard the voice as walked towards what was the mirror... he now knew who was in his ear.

It was Aaravos. But he was curious what was coming in his ear.

He took the blanket and tore it down to reveal the shattered mirror underneath.

The mirror revealed the prison, Callum was shocked. Then he saw a mysterious hooded figure.

The hooded figure turned its head and walked right to the mirror.

The hooded figure smiled at Callum. Then he took of his cloak to show that it was Aaravos.

"Don't be afraid Callum... I need to tell you... a truth," Aaravos said looking as evil as always.

"Why would I trust you... After what you did to me," Callum said bitterly.

"What I want to tell you is... You... Are... My Son," Aaravos said looking right at Callum.

"Your mother... Sarai... told you your birth father was dead because... she didn't know when... I would get out of here!," Aaravos said trying to get callum to believe him.

Callum backed up in shock. Was he really the blood son of this... this deceiver? This ancient being that would do anything to get his way in anything?

After all these years his mother never told him who his real father was. And he had to hear it from this malicious deceiver.

Then he had the idea to leave to clear his head.
