"Speaking"

'Speaking to dragons'

————————————————————————

Aura's POV

As I was getting ready to read more of the book about the royal family, I felt a faint push through my mind. Usually, the only people who would mind link me are my cousins and my dragon, but this one felt unfamiliar.

"Ow." My head started pounding when the person kept pushing, trying to get through my mental wall. I tried building a higher wall, but the pushing was too much.

'Wait, this couldn't be...' I thought to myself. I pushed out of the chair, heading towards the library doors. As I went through, an unbearable pain went through me, leading me to fall a little.

"Miss! Are yo.. ight.. s..." I heard the guards trying to speak to me. The person who was pushing, was finally able to get through.

'Well, well, well. Looks like I found the right person. Guess I know who I'm going after. First, I'm going to give you a little gift.' The person left right after saying that. Not without leaving me in terrible pain.

'Ge-t-t o-ou-out aur-aura,' I heard Aqua say. 'G-get ou-out of-f th-th-the pal-a-ace.' She said. I opened my eyes to see Poseidon in front of me, with Kai and Kano behind him.

"O-Out." Was all I could manage to say before Poseidon picked me up, while we were heading to the back exit Poseidon told one of his Guards to bring back Scar, also to tell Ace to come back soon. We went through the back exit, outside of the city, and into open waters.

I pushed away from them, heading farther away from them. I started screaming from how much pain my head was giving me before I blanked.

Poseidon's POV

I had an idea as to what was happening with Aura, but I didn't know how severe the pain was until she started screaming. When I was alerted by one of the guards, while I was with Kai and Kano. He said Aura had fallen down, she wasn't passed out, but no one could get to her.

When I heard her whisper out, I knew what that meant. But I had no clue what was going through her. What I did know, we had to somehow get Scar and Ace to us. Scar to see if he knew how to calm down her dragon.

Her dragon roared at us. I noted that her dragon's eyes had turned red.

"Guards, make sure not to harm her and protect me." Kai and Kano instantly knew what I was about to do. They made sure to be in front of me along with the guards.

'Ace, can you hear me?' I talked through the mindlink. 'Yes, I can.' A small burst pushed me back a bit. I looked over to see her dragon was hesitating a lot when attacking. 'Aura transferred into her dragon, but her dragon eyes are red. The Queen and King's dragons don't turn red, they turn into the element they are. I think someone controlled her. Keep an eye on the palace, make sure the guards are ready for anything. Also do you know where Scar is right now?' I asked Ace.

'I was told by one of the guards they are getting him now, he went with one of the maids, so we are seeing if the maids can get back, while some guards go around town to look for him.' Ace said. 'See if whenever you get him, ask how to calm down Aura's dragon. Don't let him come over quite yet, but if it requires for him to come tell me.'

'Heard.' Ace said to me before I felt the mindlink stop, I looked around to see Kai and Kano closer to her, while the guards were still making sure to guard me, but also blocking any attack that'll happen.

"Kai, Kano, has she been attacking us?" I asked them. They glanced over for a second. "No, but it looks like whatever took over, is trying to get complete control. We see her eyes flickering a lot."

Aqua's POV

Aura got pushed back into the darker of her mind, while there was a dark weight setting in front of me.

"Who's there!" I yelled out. All I heard was cackling, before a voice came out. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Aqua, I was upset that we had to leave you three down there." I knew that voice. "I was hoping by the time we came back you would be there. But the stupid Light Kingdom came first! Don't try to fight for control, it would be a lot easier getting full control."

"NO! You won't be getting control! I won't allow it!" The voice of the dragon was the dark dragon, Blake. Blake was the guardian dragon of the dark side. He was also HIS dragon, they were the reason we were locked in there.

"Well, I will because I can't have you ruin our plans." He said before trying to shut me out. I fought a lot with him trying to get out, I could feel the same people out there. There is one way for him to get out, but that one way is in the castle. "Wait, what is the plan you have?"

I felt the dark dragon pause for a second, but that second was all I needed to get him out of our head. It took a few minutes for me to open my eyes, but when I did I saw Poseidon, Kai, and Kano, plus a few guards. As I looked at them, I could tell something might happen in a few seconds. I tried to link to either one of the guards or Kai and Kano. None of them would answer, or didn't feel it. Instead I looked at Poseidon and tried to get into a mindlink with him.

'Hello?' I heard Poseidon talk. 'Poseidon, my name is Aqua. There is something you need to know, I believe the palace is about to get attacked. Whoever was trying to take over my mind, might've made me a distraction.' I told him.

In the distance, we heard an explosion happen around the palace. "Thank you Aqua, please help us defeat them."

I will have a filler story published for one of the two posts for next month. On April 11th, it will be published.

I do recommend looking at the filler story, it is up to you if you don't want to go look at it. I don't have a limit on how many words are put there, so they are short.
