Dragon's Heart

Chapter 7

Omg im soo sorry for being MIA! I literally have been sooooo busy but im back and here to stay and update regu
Vulpines p.o.v

     Leila was sitting on the plush pillow and she looked uneasy. Her red hair was tied up in a ponytail and her sapphire eyes were shifting side to side and scanning the whole room. I was laying on a purple plushed pillow next to her. Feeling her unease, I pulled my head up and rested it on her leg and saw her smile a little and relax. Kyron was sitting in the corner asleep. What an oaf.

  The door quickly opened and the eldest tree burst into the room. He made his way over to the table and sat across from us. I sat up in alert as he scanned the both of us.  He then bowed his head.

  "It is an honor to finally meet you, young dragon"  he said in a raspy voice. "Not everyone gets a chance to meet an important dragon like you in their life time"

"How am I an important dragon?  And what did you mean by dragons heart earlier?" Leila asked as she leaned forward a bit. I looked between the both of them and waited for a reply.

The tree snapped his fingers and a book appeared on the table which caused us both jump a bit but also stare in awe.

Leilas p.o.v

  Thr book looked ancient,  like if I touched it, it would just melt away and turn to dust. As if on cue of my thoughts, the book started openeing and instead of having pictures , a bright light shone out of it and illuminated the room. Scenes of history were flashing before my eyes quickly but i was able to process it all, then it all slowed down and a giant purple dragon swooped through the images. It landed on a giant rock and was looking out over the land.

  "Baltizar, the original dragon king" the tree whispered,  "he was the greatest dragon of all"

  Baltizar seemed to have been looking at us and grinned. He laid down but had his head held high. And then he spoke.

  "I am Baltizar, king of dragons and the ship that holds the dragon heart. I am not dead nor am I alive. I live through those who are destined for great things, those who inherit the dragon heart" Baltizar closed his eyes for a moment then opened them up " Leila, I have seen your heart and I have made it my own, theres has been a war and endless killing of dragons and you are the only one who can stop it. You will find your peace but bring it aswell and take your rightful place as Queen."

  Holy moly how did he know my name, can he see me?

  "I can see you for I am you and you are me, you carry my heart, therefore you aee destined to fix this, we are all depending on you." He finished. And at that, the light disappeared and so did he, I glanced at Vulpine who had been staring at me for i dont know how long.

  " Well this should be fun" I tried smiling at her. She just laughed and then turned her attention to the tree.

" As you can see, you play an important role in history,  you are to be the savior that rescues your kind from those who wish to wipe you all out" He reached into the leaves at his head and pulled out a locket. Handing it over to me I took it hesitantly.  I traced my fingers over the dragon which was engraved into the front and popped it open. Inside was 4 pictures, one of a woman with dark brown hair and sapphire eyes next to a dragon with her same eyes and dark scales that were lined with purple. On the other side was a man with firey red hair and green eyes,  his dragon was red with black wings. Both were smiling back at me.

  "Your parents" whispered the tree. My heart dropped instantly and I couldn't seem to pull my eyes away from them. I had longed for my whole life to be able to get a visual of my parents. "They are alive, but there is something you should know." He said glumly, "your mother is held captive by the villainous dragon king" he reached his twiggt finger over and placed it over my dad, " and you are destined to bring him down."

With those words, I felt as if my heart dropped down to the pit of my stomach and was burning up in their. I remember the prophecy, and it makes accepting this even harder. The man I never met but was supposed to love me from the day I was born, I am supposed to kill him. I blinked to keep the burning tears from escaping.

"Talk about family problems" I whisper to myself. My gaze shifts to my mom, I now know I really have to find her.
