Mystic

Chapter 7

  I woke up fairly early to finish decoding the message. I quickly finished decoding the message. It went something like this.

The brave, the smart, the laugh,

join to the bottom of the ocean.

Flight Air Dragon

5 days 10,000 feet

Incognito, European, Wyvern

Save Mystic

Save Dragons

Save Earth

Save Islands.

I ran to Laurence's house and grabbed him by the arm. Then I ran as fast as I could to Sonia's arm. I didn't know what it meant. I didn't know if it was a joke. I didn't know if it was a trap. I didn't know if it was real. I got flooded with a extra push of adrenaline to set me off. Questions swam through my mind.

If it was a trap, Why did it have my name?

How did Lamont know my name?

Why did Lamont know my name?

Am I dreaming?

In books, sometimes a background character is a big part of the story, so who is it?

Will that even happen?

More adrenaline pushed through me as I raced back home. I felt like a insane cat. When I got home I unlocked my library and dragged the two exhausted children into a comfortable chair.

"What are you doing?" Laurence wheezed.

"Why are we he-" As I pulled out the burnt piece of paper they tensed up a little.

"I decoded it" I said At these words Sonia tensed up more and Laurence started to laugh.

"You" , he said, "are the only person ever to have not only found a language from the what 18th century-"

"10th" I interrupted.

"Whatever, and have decoded it and have had enough sleep to run like 30 thousand miles per hour and not be exhausted" he finished.

I showed the translated version to them. Sonia started to shake.

"I know what this means." she said in a quiet voice "my mom knew this. She used to teach it to me like a song". Laurence started to sing in the most annoying voice ever. We laughed. Andromeda heard us and started to climb the stairs. Still laughing, I shoved everything under a blanket and told them to be quiet. Andromeda knocked on the door.

"Hi Sonia. Hi Laurence. Good morning Cassandra, I was about to make some vanilla and mint custard bursts. Would you guys want anything else?'' Andromeda said.

"Do you have any cactleberry juice?" When Laurence said this Andromeda rushed around to get it for him. Sonia hurried around to get her relieving salve for her neck and put it on. I was able to hear her clanging down the stairs. Laurence downed the juice in 1 gulp.

"So", I said. So is a very good conversation starter. It allows the people to discuss safely what they had just learned without getting in trouble.

"Not only have we discovered the only Incognito dragon, but we have also the brave the smart and what seems to be the brave" Laurence said.

"Right, I'm the brave, Cassandra is the smart and you are what seems to be the laugh. However, If this is true what do we do to everything and every one to save them?" Sonia said.

"Even though the prophecy doesn't specify, I can guess that there is something-"

"like another prophecy" Sonia interrupted.

"Right, that will tell us either what to do or where to go next." I said.

"What do we do to prepare?" Laurence asked.

I brought out my notebook and told them that I'll make a list. I also put at the decoded message, my school schedule , the diagram of my family crest and a Dragolic Guide in the notebook. It was like a commonplace book. Sonia said she could make a necklace with potions and balms, and a couple of oxygen bubbles. Laurence said he would help me train my Dragon, which I named Bristlecone. He also said that he would help with the food. I said that I could teach them how to swim and how to learn Draconic. Sonia also promised that she would teach us how to collect herbs. I also promised I would teach them how to control their emotions to use later. Laurence said he would try to shove out information from his dad along with teaching us how to hold his breath. We all promised that today we would pack up enough waterproof information and necessities for 5 months. It took nearly all day, but that did not stop me from going to bed early, we had 5 days and none of them were going to waste.
