Elements: A world away

Calling a Dragon

Chapter 4

In the back of the red Ferrari Max and Jack sat in the back as Holly was speeding through the countryside. “We have been on the road for six hours now. No one has spoken and I need to know what this dragon is doing on my arm” Max was thinking to himself and as if Jack was reading his mind he opened his mouth as if to talk but no sound came out. He did this a few times before Max started for him.

“Stop doing that you look like a fish. Can you please start by telling me where we are going? Possibly more detailed than ‘the school’” Max said while death staring at the back of Holly’s head as she continued driving.

“Ok you are going to ‘the school’ it is not just any school it’s a special school, one of a kind. It floats above the clouds away from the humans, it is a school where you go to went you are gifted with powers like the ones that you have but one fifth of that power. I mean it not even the last queen or even the last saviour had even half of that amount of power, you just need to learn how to control it and you will be unstoppable.”

“So Jack do you go to this school? Or will I be attending it all on my own?” Max said kind of nervous

“Well since you are the heir to the now empty throne you will need to be guarded by people you trust and we want as little people to know who you truly are so Holly and I are going to go to school with you. How does that sound?”

“Well I did trust you until now, but I don’t trust her” Max whispered with thought in his words

“We are all you have and I’m really sorry but everything that I told you is true, please forgive me” Jack said with regret and sorrow in his voice as he slightly bowed his head

“It’s ok in fact we can start again. Anyway are we nearly there?” Max said trying to change the subject

“Great timing we are rounding the entrance now” Holly cut in before Jack could say anything. Max looked around but all he could see were fields then something court his eye as they stopped next to grass that looked the same but there were some blood red flowers in a perfect circle.

“Now what?” Max asked filled with curiosity

“I will give an example of what to do. Both Jack and I have done this before so we have dragons but you have never done this so you need to bond with a wild dragon. But we will get to that later on” Holly stepped into the middle of the flowers and whispered something that I couldn’t quite hear then she stood up straight and waited just as Max was about to say something a ground shaking roar came from above them. Max and Jack looked up to see a green dragon coming towards them casting a gigantic shadow over them, the dragons long and thin membrane wings were flapping creating a gust of wind blowing Jack over but Max and Holly seemed unaffected by the wind. The beautiful dragon landed next to Holly and greeted her with large emerald eyes; the dragon then turned and saw Max helping Jack to his feet.

“Max this is Leafa she is my dragon, Leafa this is Max and you know Jack” Holly said introducing everyone

“Ok now it’s my turn” Jack said with a little sadness in his voice

Again Jack stood there and closed his eyes whispering something then opened his eyes staring off into the distance. After four minutes a purple dragon swooped down and picked Jack up off the ground and tumbled to a halt, this dragon was a little smaller than Ricochet but still very large.

“Yes, Yes it has been a long time….. Ok now let go” Jack got up and slowly walked toward us

“Yay sorry about that Max this is Ricochet he is kind of….energetic” Jack said with a happier tone in his voice
