The Forgotten Ones

Part 3

Tyson's point of view: 

I jumped out of the way of Ms. O' Leary trying to jump on me and laughed. Ella, flying above us, laughed as well, holding a large ball in one of her claws. 

"Get the ball Mrs. O' Leary!" She said, throwing the ball away from us. 

Mrs. O' Leary barked happily and went to fetch the ball as Ella landed next to me, looking as if she was starting to get worn out from playing for a few hours. 

The dinner call rang and Ella squawked happily. 

"That means Ella and Tyson gets food!" Ella exclaimed happily. 

I smiled down at her, and said, "Yes, but first we check on Paleus. Remember?" 

"Oh yeah," She ruffled her feathers, "He still sick." 

I nodded and grinned as Mrs. O' Leary came over with the ball. 

"No more playing for right now," I said, taking the ball and putting it on the ground to tell her no more. 

Mrs. O' Leary understood this and sat down, chewing happily on her ball. 

"I hope Peleus is getting better," I said sadly as we walked out. 

Ella frowned again, something I didn't like to see, and she said, "It's okay. Ella is sure he's getting better." 

Ella flew up and perched on my shoulder, causing me to turn slightly pink as we walked past some campers walking to the Mess Hall. 

"When you blush the lining of your stomach also turns red," Ella squawked, saying a random bit of information like she was known for doing. 

"That's weird," I said back, walking up the hill to Thalia's tree, and Peleus. 

"Uh, oh," Ella muttered flying off my shoulder as we got to the dragon. 

Peleus's normally copper scales were a light grey, and he wasn't curled around Thalia's tree like he normally was. Instead was sprawled out, his eyes closed and breathing shallowly. 

"Ella doesn't think this is good," Ella said quietly, petting his head softly. 

I shook my head, "No, this isn't good."
