Elements: A world away

The dragons of Legend

Chapter 3

There was silence in the car no one was speaking the only sound was the low hum of the city noise as they left into the forest just outside. “What the hell is Jack talking about I’m not a saviour. The only thing that I am is a school kid the only thing that is different about me is that I live in an rich adopted family and I don’t know who my parents” Max was think about what Jack was talking about when he felt the movement of the car slow and then stop completely.

“What the hell is going on and why did you take me out here of all places?” Max had got his composer back and wanted to know what was happening.

“Ok here is the short version you are the so called saviour and our people are depending on you to save them and their families. Get it?” Holly had spun round trying to see if it was a waste of time or if Max was really going to help and if he is she wanted to get moving. Max on the other hand was even more confused now more than ever.

“And you would be?” Max asked ready to jump out the car and run for it if he needed to because he had only just noticed that she was the one who through the can that burst and exposed the black smoke in the class room.

“I am the Royal Ambassador Holly and by the Queen request I’m taking you to ‘the school’ and train you in combat and spells”

“Wait what school and spells as in magic and stuff” Max still confused as ever was now relaxing but still kept his guard up.

“It’s not a school it’s ‘the school’. For the powers they are more or less magic. Anymore questions?”

“One last question for now, out of all the people why am I the so called ‘Saviour’. Would it not be less time consuming and more logical getting someone who actually had combat abilities or even better one of your own people?” as soon as he had finished his question both Holly and Jack looked at him in disbelief the going dead silent once again.

“You mean you can remember any of your past?” Jack asked still in a state of disbelief.

“Well no I can’t remember anything before my first year in the orphanage. Why?”

“The thing is….. Well……” Jack stumbled not knowing what to say looking at Holly for support.

“What the idiot is trying to say is that the reason you were chosen to save our people and the reason the you have such a strong aura level is because” Holly stumbled of a split second and while not looking into Max’s eyes she whispered so softly that Max could hardly hear it but when it did he didn’t believe what had come out

“It’s because you are the dead Queens long lost son, Prince Maximus of our glorious kingdom above the clouds.”

Max was bewildered by this comment “how the hell could I be a prince let alone a saviour”

“No that can’t be true please tell me that this is all a joke, Jack you planed this didn’t you?” Max was starting to get a head ach and a burning feeling in his chest.

“I’m sorry but she is telling the truth. I thought that you knew about that and you powers but just kept that side of you a secret from everyone.” Max could see that he was telling the truth and this wasn’t a joke but that more that Jack spoke the fiercer the burning feeling became.

“No stop please. STOP TALKING” Max screamed his head ach now unbearable as images flashed into his mind. What the hell am I? What is happening to me? The images kept flashing before his eye, then he became one of the people in the image it was himself but when he was 5 or 6 maybe and he felt overjoyed as a tall man came up to him. Max could not see his face but he knew this man from somewhere. Then there was an explosion and very thing went blank and he was back in the car with both Holly and Jack looking at him he still had a head ach and the burning feeling that reminded him of one of the recurring dreams he was having.

“Max, are you ok?” Holly looked directly into his eyes and the worry and concern was as clear as day when you looked at her. Max then through the car door open and tumbled out of it run into the middle of a field that Holly had parked next to and collapsed on to his knees screaming in pain. Jack and Holly both followed his standing away from Max as a blinding white light erupted from with in him.

“STOP THE PAIN”

Max screamed over and over again as the light that was coming from inside him got brighter and expanded.

“Holy crap what is happening to him?!?” Jack shouted trying to get to Holly over the agonising screams coming from within the sphere of white light. Holly looked over at Jack petrified at what was happening to Max.

“I…I don’t… I don’t know” Holly yelled. Then the screaming stoped yet the light only increased

“Oh… my… god… This power it’s too overwhelming. How can he have this much power inside him and not know about it?” Jack then fell to the floor shaking violently as did Holly. They both sat there not knowing what was happening to Max. Not even knowing what to do to help save him from the tornado of extraordinary light. Just as the sphere was about to engulf the two it stop increasing its size and started to form something thinning out enough for Jack and Holly to see Max hovering two meters off the ground. Then the light formed a long snack shaped thing the amazing light transfixing Jack and Holly in their places.

This is incredible the amount of power that is being used. Oh my god it’s not a snack it’s a dragon. Holly was in thought and so was Jack but he was not gazing at the power and beauty but what it actually was. That can’t be. I don’t believe it but it is right in fount of me how can I not. It’s…It’s the legendary light dragon of the five powers! Jack thought was cut off by the dragon flying in a circle around Max getting smaller and smaller until it circled Max’s upper am and implanting itself on his arm. With that Max plummeted towards the ground Jack got up and sprinted headed for Max to catch him but he was falling to quickly Jack would never get there in time but he kept going. Just as Max was about to hit the ground when he just stopped and was slowly put down. Holly then appeared beside Jack and they both knelt down beside the now past out Max.

“Jack I have never seen or felt anything so powerful. How the hell can he have that much power and not realise that it was there?” She turned to Jack with pure fear in her eyes

“It’s because it was from one of the powers” Jack shadowed his eyes when saying this

“What are you talking about? Toughs are only ledge. Aren’t they?”

“No Holly they aren’t I am 100% sure that that was the legendary dragon ‘The Guardian of the light’. Look at his arm that is the mark of one who has been bound with them and the other four will show themselves soon enough”

“So what you are saying is that he the prince who is meant to be the saviour who also has been bound to lost power of the five? What a rough path he has headed for him.” Holly said in a tone of sadness for Max noticing what Jack was talking about the bound mark. It looked as if the dragon that had just been flying around had shrunk and attached its self into Max’s arm the details were incredible leaning closer to see the finer details the dragon started to move Holly screamed and scrambled back  behind Jack.

“What? What happened?” Jack’s guard was now up and he was looking for the danger

“It…It moved” Holly said pointing at the white dragon the was on Max’s arm

“That’s because it’s still alive gist inside his body…” Jack trailed off as Max started to stir.

“Max you’re awake, are you alright?” Holly rushed to his side

“Yay you gave us a real fright” Jack sat next to Holly pulling Max up into a sitting position

“I have been better what…” Max’s sentence was cut short as he winced and grabbed his arm where the dragon was.

“Max! Max are you ok?”

“I think so…W...What the… what is on my arm?” He looked up at Holly and Jack with panic and pain written all over his face.

“Well the Five powers of ledge thought that you had the purest of hearts. That which is one of a true hero.” Jack said making Max’s fear turn to confusion

“Great time isn’t” Holly sight while helping Max up “let’s go otherwise you are going to be even later than you already are for you first day school.
