Chapter 23- Orion

Chapter 23- Orion

Owen spilled everything as soon as the weird butler appeared at our room door. A small knock banged on our door as we we're getting ready for the day.

Owen was making his bed when he said, "Zilla, can you get the door?"

Zilla nodded and walked over to the door. She opened it to find a rather unique man standing at there. There was no sound, but Zilla seemed to understand the man.

"Owen, theres some guy here who's name is Lunar. He wants to see you."

Owen made a choking noise and fell of his bunk.

I frowned and helped him up. "You okay?"

Owen didn't say anything. He scrambled over to the door and walked into the hallway with the man leaving all of us in silence.

"Wonder what that was about?" Charlie finally said. I shrugged and flopped on my bed.

The door opened and Owen came walking in with a shocked look on his face. A man followed him inside the room. He looked rich to me.

Choppy, white hair that was tied back in a pony tail, a blue shirt with dark jeans and a pale, but pimple free face. He had to be in his early twenties.

Owen sat down at our desk and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Um, Owen, whats with the guy?" I asked.

Owen sighed and looked up.

"I might as well tell them." The man nodded. "Orion, Zilla, Charlie this is Lunar. He... is a dragon."

We all gave Owen blank looks. He groaned and said, "I know he doesn't look like a dragon, but he is. Apparently he waits till now to tell me he has a human form." Lunar smiled and rubbed the back of his head.

"Um, and he's here because?" I asked.

Owen rolled up his shirt sleeve revealing the strange tattoos he mysteriously got. "He gave me the tattoos."

Now I was interested in this guy.

"What! Why?" I said standing up. Lunar opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. Owen frowned and looked at the ground.

"He can't speak any human language. But he can write it" Owen explained.

Zilla stepped forward and said, "so thats why he showed me that note at the door."

Lunar nodded. Owen stood up and began to paced around.

"Mr. Bridges told me a story about this rare dragon that is able to grant a gift. Well I went searching for it and..." He turned towards Lunar.

Charlie's mouth dropped.

"You found that dragon! Thats who Lunar is!"

Owen nodded.

"And I got this special gift. Thats what the tattoos represent. I am able to speak to Lunar and other creatures."

Charlie looked at Owen then at Thorny.

"So you can understand Thorny?"

Owen nodded. Charlie scrambled over to Thorny's cage and took his out then held him in Owens face. "Whats he saying right now?"

"Ow. You pinched my tail. I'm hungry. Do you have any food for me?"

Owen said using one tone in his voice. Charlie gasped and pushed Thorny's in his own face.

"Did you really say that?"

The dragon nodded his head. Charlie started to spin around the room. "Wow! Thats amazing!"
