"Earth King, Storm King we have been expecting you. Follow us" Flying armoured individuals who Cole noticed wore guards armour flew towards what looked like a palace in the sky. Cole pulled Zane closer when they came into a landing.
"Where are we?" Zane asked, blinking to avoid the light from assaulting his eyes.
"I don't know…"
"You are in the forgotten realm, the one in between life and death" An individual spoke up beside them, Zane visibly jumped while Cole gave the guard a bored look.
"Why are we here?" Cole asked.
"You are here because it was requested by the Storm King"
Cole turned to look at Zane who shrugged not fully understanding what was going on.
"Oh, no, not the present one. No, both the past Storm and Earth Kings have summoned you both" the guard said as they landed. Coles' dragon made a noise to alert them to get off and once the two slipped off, the dragon shrunk down to a hatchling size curling around Coles neck. Zane only smiled thinking back to his own hatchling whom he had left back in the Storm Realm with its own kind before the incident.
"This way"
Cole and Zane shared a look but decided against questions as they were led into a palace of somesort. People walked past smiling with happiness while the skies above were so blue it was crazy. Not a cloud was in the sky.
The guard leading them banged on the door in front of them only to receive an "ENTER!". Zane flinched at the noise which Cole only held his hand tighter as the two were directed into the room which revealed itself as a throne room.
As soon as they stepped into the room, their own clothes changed. There ninja gi's appeared but this time golden chain headpieces. Coles was gold while Zane's were silver.
Two thrones sat at the top of a set of stairs. Cole wrapped an arm around Zane feeling his partner shiver. The two walked until they were just below.
"Kings Aspen and Lucas. We are thankful you have come in dire times but we must ask, you stand apart for the next part" A guard said kneeling in front of the two thrones. Cole and Zane shared a look and with a nod they separated. As soon as they did the two individuals on the thrones took a step down coming into the light revealing two older individuals.
Cole was in shock seeing the similarities between himself and the Earth King. It was like looking in a mirror at an older one but it made him smile. The older man was dressed in a mix of grey and orange to show he had passed on.
Zane on the other hand remained silent thinking it was a king, his great grandfather only to learn it was a young woman with a crown atop her head. Zane watched with curious eyes, he blinked when she suddenly appeared beside him. Holding still, her cold hands ran across his shoulders while she checked out his powers. When she found none, she turned to the earth king.
"Release your wings" her calm tone had Cole's attention turned towards his partner. He noticed how uncomfortable Zane looked.
"Why?" Cole asked, stepping away from his own grandfather who frowned but watched his grandson make his way over to Zane.
"I must assess him and you. To make sure you are who you say you are'' she said with a smile. Zane shivered, making the older earth king step forward. Cole pressed into Zane's side, "Shh, you're safe. They are here to help" Cole whispered, pressing a kiss to Zane's cheek.
Zane took a minute to compose himself and once Cole let go. He allowed his broken wings out, he bit his lip avoiding the pained yelp trying to escape his vocal cords. His wings once held beauty now they showed his survival.
