Sharp As A Tiger, Quick as a Dragon [PERMANENTLY UNCOMPLETED]

Chapter Eight: Great-Grandma Alice?!

There standing in front of me was my favorite person in the whole wide world. My Great-Grandma Alice. I stood there frozen in place full of shock. I knew that the tiger was her so why am I shocked. To be honest I still couldn't believe that she was alive. Tears came flooding out of my eyes quietly. I ran to Grandma Alice and hugged her hard. She hugged me back while gently stroking my back.

"I still can't believe that you're alive." I whispered to her still hugging her.

"Oh, but I'm not alive." Great-Grandma Alice told me smiling sadly at me. "I'm a spirit."

"But I can touch you?" I questioned letting go of her but still holding her hands.

"You are a Dite. I was the Dite before you so you can touch me but others cannot." she explained. I nodded though still a little confused. I let go of Great-Grandma Alice's hand and turn to my companies. I saw Yedana gasp.

"Great-Grandma Alice." Yedana whispered shocked. I looked at Tom and noticed that he was looking back and forth from Me, Alice, and Yedana. Yedana ran up to Great-Grandma Alice and tried to hug her. The key word here is tried. Yedana's hands went right through Great-Grandma Alice. Great-Grandma Alice smiled sadly at Yedana.

"Uh, who are you?" I heard Tom ask Great-Grandma Alice. That's when I remembered that Tom was there.

"Tom meet my most favorite person in the whole wide universe, Great-Grandma Alice. Great-Grandma Alice meet one of my best friends, Tom." I introduced. They shook hands.....well tried to shake hands at least. Just like Yedana, Tom's hand went right through Great-Grandma Alice's hand.

"What's my quest?" I asked Great-Grandma Alice. She motioned for us to follow her. She led us to a big cave. When I walked inside the cave I became horrified. Inside the cave was millions and millions of ill and diseased dragons. I walked inside the cave observing all the suffering dragons. I didn't know what disease or illness the dragons had but it seemed lethal. Some dragons' skin came off and the poor creature were shivering cold because they don't have their skin to give them warmth. Others broke out in boils, measles, chicken pox, fevers and so many more illnesses and diseases. I was really upset when I saw these poor creatures. But I got no clue how to cure them. After I have seen all the sick dragons Great-Grandma Alice led us to the center of the cave. There stood a wall with a weird shaped hole in the middle. It was a triangular hole in the middle with an oval-shaped hole carved in the middle of the triangular hole. Then there were spear-shaped holes on all three sides of the triangle hole. Then there was what looked like a hand-shaped holes carved on the three points of the triangle hole. On the very top of the hand that was carved on top of the top of the triangle hole was a slim cylinder-shaped hole. Around all these holes was a big circle-shaped hole that looked like a wheel.

"As you have seen the dragons have attracted some kind of mysterious lethal disease. It has different effects on different dragons." Great-Grandma Alice began to explain "I have been studying this cave and all its ruins. It's written in Moonieta." Great-Grandma Alice motioned to the cave walls around us. I looked at the walls and recognized the all too familiar language of the Ancient Moondras (Moondras are the people who wrote in Moonieta and are also known as Dragon Protectors. They protect and take care of dragons and dragons are also a big part of the Moondras culture.).

"I learned that the Moondras have seen this mysterious illness of that are lethal to the dragons. Apparently they have found the cure." continued Great-Grandma Alice

"You must find the Triangle of the Sun, Eye of the Goddess, The Three Spears of the Sacred Moon, Hands of Evendra, the Wand of Healing, and the Wheel of Justice. Once you find them you must place them carefully into their designated holes." Great-Grandma Alice instructed pointing to each hole.

"But be carefully." warned Great-Grandma Alice "There is a vicious villain called Raider. He is a man of bad intentions. He will go to anything to stop you and even kill you. He was the one that killed me." She whispered the last part softly. But me being the person that's gifted with keen hearing I heard it. I was so mad when I heard it. This Raider guy is now officially ranking number one on my list of people I hate. Whoa! I only heard about him and I already hate his guts!

"Come along now children. Today's been a long day for all of you. I'll show you to your rooms." Great-Grandma chirped. We followed her to our rooms. Luckily we each got our own bedroom. I laid down on the bed and fellow asleep with two thoughts on my mind. One: How am I going to find all these parts! Two: Raider you better watch out! Because Dite Cynthia is out to see ya! And it's not for tea and biscuits!
