The Legend of Mordecai: The Wolgon Prophecy (1)

Chapter 6: The voice

      Kai and the others look at him puzzled after what he told them. "Mordecai, what do you mean you have the power now to turn into a dragon?" Kai asks. Mordecai nods his head then does his transformation in front of them. "SEE I AM DRAGON" he roars then gives a toothy grin. Zip and Zoom run out of the den screaming their heads off, while their big brother just stands there and says "Wow." Kai sighs at Dash and turns to Mordecai. Mordecai looks down at her and shakes his head in embarrassment. "Mordecai, just turn back to normal...okay?" Kai asks him. Mordecai transforms back in a flash then looks down at his paws. "I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare anyone" he apologizes.
      Ti sits there quietly humming and looking at the sky. He seemed like the only one that took no notice.
      Just then something hit Mordecai's mind. "Kai, do you hear that?" Kai stares at him for a moment then replies, "No, should I?" Suddenly Mordecai passes out on the ground. He awakes up, but not there with Kai and the others. He finds himself in some dream. Mordecai's ears perk up to a voice. It starts speaking to him.

      "Mordecai, welcome to the Inner Realm." A strange disembodied voice greets.

      He jumps, startled by the voice that spoke to him. "Inner Realm, what's that?" He asks. The voice speaks again,

      "The Inner Realm is a place where creatures like you, come in contact with the unthinkable and can discover what you wouldn't believe. There is more, but that is all I can tell you. It's up to you to figure the rest out "

      Mordecai tilts his head in confusion but says nothing. Then everything goes white.
       Mordecai wakes up, with his heart beating rapidly. His movements were wobbly and his head felt as if it were empty. A few minutes later his vision recovered from the faint cloudy vision he saw. With a mumble he turns around.
      "Mordecai, are you alright?" Kai asks, staring at him in concern.
He doesn't hear her at first and starts walking away, trying to calm the dizziness.
      "Mordecai...I said are you alright?" she repeats. He regains his senses and looks back at her. He finally speaks, "Y-yes I'm fine." He replies in a weak tone. "Something weird just happened to me...that's all. Might be dehydrated." He turns and faces Dash, who is staring at him. "Mordy, you okay?" Dash asks.
      Zip and Zoom come running out of nowhere and they both were out of breath. "Mordecai, Kai, Ti's gone!" Zip gasps, breathing heavily. Mordecai rolls his eyes and sighs, "That explains why he wasn't here when I woke up." Zoom's ears perk up from the sound of a new voice. "Hey guys, do you here that?" Mordecai's ears twitch a bit then he hears the voice speaking louder. Yeah, that sounds like that voice that was in my weird dream vision thing. Then they all turn around to face Ti and an unusual face.
      Ti was looking at them with a nervous expression on his face. "U-uh hi, everyone sorry about earlier, this is Princess Aura" he introduces the unfamiliar face that stood next to him.
      Princess Aura is a larger wolf compared to everyone else. The blood that flows through her is still a mystery to some. It is rumored that her kind can not transform. No one has ever seen a transformation into a dragon from her or anyone else.
      Her feathered wings are a light gray and her fur is white as snow (like a typical description). Her eyes are a deep crystal blue. However, behind those eyes are a force not to be wrecked with.
Nobody says anything except for Mordecai. "Hello there. Where are you from?" He asks while bowing his head down to her. The others quickly follow his lead.
      Mordecai was just surprised to see another wolf with wings. It wasn't that common for him to see one especially a wolf in royalty.

      "Why thank you, Prince Mordecai" She thanks him, giving a smile.

      Mordecai tilts his head "W- what are you talking about? Prince?" He questions. The Princess stretches out her wings and sits down, looking at him with mild concern. She then shakes her head slowly, "Y-you don't remember, do you?"
       "Why ask that?" Mordecai replies, looking at her with confusion on his face. He had no clue why she was giving him that title let alone think that he remembered. Remember what?
      Aura gets up and looks at Ti. Ti shakes nervously, while putting his paw on his tail, "Uh, M-Mordecai, she has a lot to tell you so...please follow her" he stutters. Why did she call me that? I know I'm a wolf thing. What is a Moonlight wolf?! Now I'm...a prince? Mordecai trails off in his thoughts. He was still a little irritated with the whole Moonlight wolf thing. No one told him what it was.
      He stops and snaps back into reality as soon as Aura stops approaching and looks at him. "Mordecai, let me take you and your friends to my kingdom so you all can rest" She offers. Mordecai silently nods, "Oh, okay, but what kingdom?" He then asks, while tilting his head. Kingdoms? Anzellix has kingdoms? Swift and Speed never told me that!
      She gazes at him then replies, "The Lightfeather Kingdom."
       Mordecai stares at her but, he did not question her anymore then he did. "Alright, I'll go tell the others."
      She turns to him and smiles, "You go do that then."
      As Mordecai runs back to the others he ponders. Why now? He wonders. So many things were on his mind. Why did the princess of this so called 'Lightfeather Kingdom' come here? Why did she talk to him in his weird dream? Was it a dream? All of this going through his mind made his head spin. He dashes through the forest and doesn't look back. His head was pounding but his mind was running wild.

      Arkoh sits there staring at the Vision Gem confusion, "Why is Princess Aura there?" He asks out loud in utter shock. Why was the ruler of another kingdom with them? Why now or ever?
      He turns away and leaves his den without hesitation. Meeting up with Grounder was what he had on mind.
      He rushes towards Grounder's house. He stops to let out a a few pants. Arkoh looks up to successfully spot a brown cobble stone house close by. Arkoh walks up to the house and raises a paw to the door. In a sudden turn of events, Grounder opens the door with an annoyed expression on his face.
       "Well...hello, Arkoh, what brings you here?" Grounder asks, standing near his door.
      Arkoh takes a few steps back and rolls his eyes. "Always a step ahead of me hm? Anyways, I need you to do me a favor" he asks, looking around in suspicion. Grounder gives him a heavy sigh in response. He then narrows his eyes at Arkoh "Well...what is it?"
