-The Dragons curse-

†chapter three†

Aris ears were ringing. Her face was throbbing. Her entire body hurt. She fell to the ground. "What..what have I done?" she mumbled to herself. She didn't understand. Ari didn't understand anything. What happened? Why did that have to happen when it did? "Adriana..." she could almost her her parents mumble her name. As their bodies went limp and fell to the floor, she finally realized what had happened, she came to her final conclusion; she had killed her parents. It was her fault. 'this...can't be real...this has to be a dream!' those thoughts ran through her head as she screamed, cried, begged for her parents to  come back, but nothing. Just, silence. "We..we need to get moving." Phe, or Phoenix, got up with Zach hunched over and unconscious, hanging over his shoulder. "We need to go now Aridana!" Ari just sat there. 'I killed my parents. It's my fault.' "Get up! Do you really think your parents would want you mourning their death?! You need to go on!  You are the descendent of Xander goldenclaw! You don't have time to be doing this, get up, now!" Phe struck a fire in Aris heart. She got up, tears in her eyes. "Let's..go.." Ari took Phe's shoulder, and they both disappeared.

The dragon tamers hall.

When they arrived, the wide room filled with three 10 foot tables, 15 candles on each side of the wall already set on fire, and chandler's handing from the ceiling, 20 candles on each, yet the room was empty. "This way" Phe led Ari down a hallway, up some stairs, down another hallway, then finnally into a room; it was an infirmary. 5 beds on each wall, 2 docters and 7 nurses. Ari had looked over and saw a nurse that looked kind of like her mom 'I killed her...it was me, I killed he..' everything had become dark, and Ari could already feel herself passing out. A nurse, thankfully, rushed over before she hit her head on the supernaturally shinning marble floor
The headmasters quarters

"ғoolιѕн gιrl. looĸ wнaт yoυ've dιd, ĸιlled yoυr own мoтнer and ғaтнer. yoυ'll never!  gaιn тнe powerѕ oғ хander! мy qυeen wιll rιѕe, wнιle yoυ and yoυr dragonѕ wιll ғall! нaιl-" the voice died out, but Adriana couldnt tell if she was dreaming of that voice, or it was real. It couldn't be real, it sounded way to...snake like. It's voice cackled, but it sounded like slithers; a snake getting ready to swallow whole it's  next in paralyzed prey. Ari appeared in a...place. She was standing on...clouds? They seemed to be rain clouds while the ones above her were pure white and fluffy "Where am I..?" she studied her surroundings. The air smelled like roses, but had a bad after smell, almost like licorice. "ᵂᴴᴵᶜᴴ ᴾᴬᵀᴴ ᵂᴵᴸᴸ ᵞᴼᵁ ᵀᴬᴷᴱ? ᵀᴴᴱ ᴰᴿᴬᴳᴼᴺ, ᴼᴿ ᵀᴴᴱ ᴾᴴᴼᴱᴺᴵˣ?" the voice was coming from all directions, but it wasn't the same one from before. "Who's there?!" her eyes seemed to glow, changing to yellow from their purple-pink mix. "ᴰᴼᴱˢ ᵀᴴᴬᵀ ᴿᴱᴬᴸᴸᵞ ᴹᴬᵀᵀᴱᴿ? ᴹᴬᵞᴮᴱ, ᵞᴼᵁ ˢᴴᴼᵁᴸᴰ ᶠᴵᴺᴰ ᴼᵁᵀ ᵂᴴᴼ ᵞᴼᵁ ᴿᴱᴬᴸᴸᵞ ᴬᴿᴱ ᶠᴵᴿˢᵀ. ᴬ ᴰᴿᴬᴳᴼᴺ, ᴼᴿ ᴬ  ᴾᴴᴼᴱᴺᴵˣ." The voice was soft, yet had a serious tone. "ᵞᴼᵁ ᴺᴱᴱᴰ ᵀᴼ ᵂᴬᴷᴱ ᵁᴾ ᴬᴺᴰ ᴿᴱᴬᴸᴵᶻᴱ ᵀᴴᴱ ᵂᴼᴿᴸᴰ ᴵˢᴺ'ᵀ ᵂᴴᴬᵀ ᵞᴼᵁ ᵀᴴᴼᵁᴳᴴᵀ ᴵᵀ ᵂᴬˢ. ᵂᴬᴷᴱ ᵁᴾ. ᵂᴬᴷᴱ ᵁᴾ!" The voice faded out, then back in, it changing from its soft yet serious sound to a familiar voice, Phoenix's voice. "Wake up! Wake up dammit!" Ari awoke with a jolt. She was sweating profusely, her heart rate was faster than it should have been, and her eyes were....they hurt, alot. "Adriana, calm down. Your eyes, their.." Phe looked scared, along with the rest of the nurses in the room. All the eyes on her..they were annoying, she wasn't used to attention, she hated it. Ari heard whispers from the docters as they looked at her with sickening cold eyes. "W-where am I?" she was disgusted at her own cracking voice. How could she show fear in this moment? "Your in the-" Phe was cut off by a kid running into the room. The boy looked around her age, with stupid curly black hair. He had a little scar on his cheek and cuts, scarps, and dirt on his hand "Hey-so-Larence kinda wants to see the one girl" what was that kid wearing? Black jeans, black sneakers, a black long sleeve with a breastplate covering his chest- an actual piece of armor covering his chest, along with most of his arms and legs. "What- alright. Do me a favor Aleio and take her to him."
As Adriana and Aleio entered the room, Ari was instantly taken back by the how white it was. Everything in the room was white, and she hated it. "What the-" Ari said, but almost like Aleio could read minds; he said "Laurence really likes the color white. Call me Alei. What's you name?" Alei was looking straight ahead, but was talking like he was looking at her. "Ari..call me Ari.." she didn't want to tell him her real name. "Ari? Alright. Wait here. Laurence will be with you in a second." As Aleio walked out, he seemed to mumble something that she couldn't here. It was quiet. Eerily quiet. "yoυ really тнιnĸ тнaт yoυ can тrυѕт тнeѕe dragonѕ?! тнeιr noтнιng вυт decepтιve noвodιeѕ. coмe тo мy ѕιde, don'т yoυ wanт тo ѕee yoυr parenтѕ agaιn?" that snakey voice was back, and it sounded closer than before. "My parents are dead! Now leave!" their was another voice, deep, dark, and serious. It was coming for the other room!
"leт'ѕ вe parтnerѕ agaιn! we were laѕт тιмe~ ғor old тιмeѕ тaĸe, we coυld rυle тнe enтιre мagιc world!" The snake voice cackled and slithered. As quietly as she could, she got up and walked to the door the voices were coming from, but as she did, she hesitated, shouldn't she go find someone else and have them investigate? She didn't know what to do..
