Dragon of Legend; Light Bk 5

Part 18 An Old Friend

Akria and Savannah decided to stay in the future to keep an eye on Cassandra, and her Night Watcher's.

They were up in the cloud's where they were closest to the sun for the dragon to gain her maturity.

Once Savannah, explained to her, how she was responsible for her having a dragon, it all made perfect sense. But once Akria was able to communicate with her she felt sorrow at letting anyone become her rider.

She was sitting above Academy City, watching thing's going on down below her. She was appalled at the way thing's looked from up here.

They looked worse from above, than they did from below. If that was even possible and then realized it was.

Since she fulfilled the Prophecy she had different power"s, skills or what ever they were. She was sure Redemption, was developing them to.

I knew once we got back together we would grow even stronger. My hearing and eyesight, along with other senses were acting up. Thank the fates I could control them, or else we would be camped out far away from the city.

I was watching the people celebrating my death like it was a holiday. I watched Draven and Tiffany being lead around by rope's. They were placed on exhibit as traitor's. And the worst part about it all was there was nothing I could do about it yet.

I knew they were good people who tried to help me when I was in my worst state of need ever. It was gut wrenching to watch this. I vowed Cassandra, would pay for doing this to my friend's. And that was one promise I planned on keeping. As soon as Ree and I could do what we had to do. We would come back here to save them.

I knew Cassandra, well enough to know she wouldn't kill them. She needed Draven, to time travel and until his dragon appeared she needed Tiffany, to keep him in line. I just feared for Tiffany's life once the hatchling showed up. She would become an expendable object then.

I knew Cassandra, would use her to create her evil rider, by making him kill his own sister. To save the life of his own dragon. This whole situation was heartbreaking to me. What gave one person the power to control everything? Or better yet what made them think they had the right to wield that kind of power over helpless people?

Just hang in there for me you two, I promise I will be back for you as soon as possible. The both of them looked around as if searching for something.

It's not possible I thought to myself, I believe they heard me. Now they probably think my ghost is talking to them.

Watching Cassandra, strut around like a queen made me want to spit. And most of all it made me want to jump from up here and take them all on.

"Akria!" "You know nothing good comes from hasty decision's. There will come a time and a place to right these wrong's. I promise you that you will get your chance. I have been around Cassandra, long enough to know that you would be walking right into a hornets nest. Stay the course little one and you will prevail in the end."

"And when it does come we will take care of them together. Like we have alway's done with every bad thing that has come or way in the past."

"About that I was told only Ree, Seth and I would be involved in ridding the land's of Cassandra. We will see little one, when my children are put in harm's way. I will be the one to decide wether or not I will stay out of the fight or not."

I didn't have any word's to add to her statement. I was not about to disrespect the one who kept me alive. In the time of my life that was a living nightmare.
