Dawn of the Wolf Dragons: Book one; A Dark Beginning (unedited version)

Chapter 20

We gathered in the study room with the big map. 

"OK everyone. I want you to put a pin where you want to distribute posters!" Lumist instructed, Holding up a basket of sharp pieces of metal.

I placed one in the center of Red's territory. If It went on the underground tree, everyone in her small pack would see it. I placed one in every Wolf Dragon village in the Lunae silvam, twenty in the Dragon kingdom (They need to know that we are going to win the war) and some around the open forest and jungle. I noticed Quinn putting them in some obscure locations.

"Why are you putting them there?" I asked.

"We don't fully know what's out there. If there are intelligent creatures, They should be warned too." He answered.

Red Put them by Rivers and lakes near her territory. She probably knew others out there who would benefit from the advice.

Cymry was putting them in forest locations that I had no idea were important and Lumist was placing them very thoughtfully across the map.

Saber and Simba were placing them in the locations of the shops in their village.

Skye even participated by putting them up in the plains by the mountains where big and mini pegasi graze.

When we were done (which took about thirty minutes) We had successfully distributed a thousand markers. One for each poster.

Lumist stood back and gazed at the map. He grabbed a sheet of paper and cast a spell without speaking on it. It made an exact replica of the map except in the spots where the markers were, there were small red dots. He rolled it up and handed it to me to put in my side bag.

"Well, that was tough!" Quinn noted.

We murmured an agreement.

"I am starving! " Red said. "Imma go get something to eat."

"Me too" Cymry and Quinn said. they proceeded to leave

"Well then, I suppose we should continue on with our lesson." Lumist said.

growwllll. My stomach. Oops.

"Here" Lumist twirled his claw and a rabbit came flying into the cave.

Once I had eaten, Lumist began. 

"The Void element is the most mysterious, dangerous and tricky."

"Then why are you teaching me it?" I asked dryly. 

"Because, as I told you already, I sense power in you."

How?  I thought, but did not say it out loud.

"Because I am also  powerful"

I opened my mouth to demand how he ready my mind but he silenced me.

"The void will open up pure space and spinning matter. no one really knows what it does. Dragons can do it. And I know the King can, he just pretends he can't." He signalled. "Open up a void."

I copied his motion. Nothing happened.

Lumist did it. He pushed his paws against the ground and then a spinning shape of dark black , purple and blue opened up. But then he yelled a counter and it vanished as quick as it appeared. 

I copied. Then I was swallowed into an immense mass of spinning rapid pattern. Stop! I thought.  I felt like I was falling then, I did fall. Onto the floor of the cave. It had cleared up.

"Did I tell you the counter?" He asked.

I shook my head. "I wanted it to stop."

"We will stop the Dark magic. I think you will hurt yourself." Just as he was going to speak again, a misty image appeared out of thin air. Dragons Pouring into Wolf Dragon Villages, Claws raking each other, spilling, and Dragons and wolves dying. Then, It was gone, quick as a flash.

"W-what was that?" I stuttered.

"I think The Dragons are now beginning their attack. You need to leave soon. To stop them, end this." He said in horror. he turned. "Open eternal void Elisimo shambur drason" He yelled, pointing at my bag. "You will be able to fit anything, anything  in there. Take this," He handed me several very large spellbooks. " This," labeled potions, and ingredients and glass jars. 

"Thank you but-" I started.

"No time for buts! Press this three times if you need me. Tap twice for speech." He looked me in the eye. "Buffet room, now Go!"

I fizzed and spun and- was in the room with my friends. "We've gotta go!" I yelled. Lumist appeared beside me. "Everyone, In the bag!"

"Good thinking!" Lumist said.

"The dragons are coming! We need to warn the village. Get IN!" I roared. Everyone stepped into my side bag.

Simba hugged Lumist. "Thank you for everything, I want to stay but..." He looked over.

"As much as we hate you, We need you!" Saber hissed. "Now get in, you old hag!"

"Who you callin' old?" Simba shouted. He hopped in after her.

"Where should I go?" I asked Lumist.

"Your village. Warn your family. The attack will move there shortly. Protect everyone."

I nodded. I closed my eyes. I fizzed  and-spun.
