Wings of Fire: The Forgotten

Library

The next morning Current asked the others to meet him in the library. He had no idea what they would think of the idea. But it might work.

"So Current, what's this about?" Blizzard asked.

"I'm glad you asked." Current said sounding fairly cheerful. "Really?"

"No, shut up you're ruining the moment." Current gave Blizzard a look that said YES REALLY!

He started to look around the library for the exact scroll. He knew it was there. He just didn't know where to look, or what it looked like.

"Current, seriously what are you looking for?"

"A scroll."

Blizzard drew in a sharp breath, but Current could figure out he was being sarcastic. "A scroll? In a library? No freaking way. Next I bet your going to say there's a tree in a forest, OR rocks in the mountains."

Current glared at Blizzard "When is it ever okay for that joke to fly by as appropriate in a situation like this?"

"Hate to break it to you but you kind of walked into that one."

Current felt around one of the shelves. Is there a lever? Say the magic word? Do I have to sacrifice like... A goat or something? Current thought that last idea was kind of dumb. Where was he going to get a goat?

He found a little something on the side of that shelf, something he would have never noticed before, it had the exact same symbol on it, he touched the symbol and it lit up into a light green color. The shelf started to slowly move sideways. Revealing a scroll mounted on a marble pedestal, the paper looked almost silver, it was studded with emeralds on the side. The scroll seemed to radiate a power. And as soon as Current's talons touched it, the symbol on the scroll started to glow the same color. And once he took it from the pedestal, it stopped glowing and instead started vibrating, as if it was sending off a signal.

He took it back to the table where Terra and Shade showed up. "You found what you're looking for?" Shade asked with a smile on her face.

"Yes actually." He opened up the scroll to find the symbol he's felt like he's seen for the millionth time today as well as an ancient language. He looked up at the rest of the dragons with a look that said can anyone read this? Shade looked at the text inscribed on the silver looking paper. "A taker of lives is branded if their blade has tasted the blood of thy enemies. Kill them with their own weapon? And you're problems go away." Shade looked back up. Only to find The others stating at her with a surprised look on their faces. "How... Did you read that?! That sounded flawless! No one can make that up off the top of their head." Terra said with a surprised voice. She shook her head "I don't know! It just seemed to pass off as our language. In my eyes anyway. I don't know about you guys."

"Another reason to be in love with you." Current said so quietly no one heard him.
