I Am Part Ice And Light

8. Possible Redemption

3rd Person's POV:

Charlie stepped down the stone staircase and shook his head in disappointment towards Taylor, he only talked to her because he felt like the only way to get to the royal family was through her, the other sister never came near the dragons, so he was left hopeless for getting out anytime soon and led down to the voice that called him. His daughter, Pacifica. He finally made it to the end of the seemingly endless stairway and saw his 15 year old daughter smiling at him like it's Christmas. She was tall with a similar body shape to her mother's but slimmer with long black hair with a long oval face like her father's along with his other features but with her mother's dark brown eyes.

 "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Oh my gosh you're never going to believe what I discovered today." "Oh yeah. What is that?" Pacifica held her hands together and pulled them towards her chest and closed her eyes and felt tingles down her back and her heartbeat and she exhaled and opened her palms to reveal little outlines of animals made out of fire pop out of her palms and into the air creating like a little light show. First a little lion, then an elephant then an entire outline of the castle with people around it and everything. Charlie just smiled quietly at his innocent daughter. Oh how he wished the world was like how she saw it.

 Everytime he looked at her, she reminded him of her mother, whether good or bad. He walked over to their little army green colored tent with two small mattresses with iron frames that were the same weird green color. The tent had pots, pans, blankets and weapons kept in store. Of course that was Charlie's idea to keep weapons around, not because of the dragons if anything the dragons were more trustworthy than humans. He sat down on his bed and waited for Pacifica but she stopped in her footsteps and looked out one of the small windows that serves as a rain passageway from the city's streets into the dungeons that lead down another drain to the ocean.

 Pacifica looked out watching all the people walking around in the markets, even staring at a few boys. But that was short lived when she heard her father call her name that snapped her out of her daze. He smiled and pulled out a small, old, and ugly yarn bag but Pacifica gasped with excitement and ran over to her father. "How did you get these? How did they let you out this time?" "I just told them it's getting cold down here and we needed more food and I snuck into the kitchen and found these '' and he started laughing. 

He pulled out two big white squishy marshmallows then grabbed two untwisted iron hanging rods and he handed one to Pacifica. She closes her eyes and feels an adrenaline go through her hand and it creates a little fire in her palm. Charlie pulls over a small basket made out of stone with two wooden logs in it. As Pacifica is about to put a little fire in there's a huge deep roar that fans out Pacifica's flame a little bit. This huge big black scaled dragon raises his ginormous head above them and angles his mouth towards it then deeply breathes in and gently blows into the basket lighting the bonfire.

 Pacifica started to laugh, she handed her stick to her father and ran over to the dragon while he rested his head and neck around them at the bonfire. The dragon's head was three times the size of Charlie's entire body, but he rested his neck and head around the little family. Pacifica ran to the dragon and looked into his big blue eyes and she tightly hugged his neck "Oh, Albert I love you so much" and he just deeply exhaled while relaxing. Pacifica could hear another sound of metal clinking together and small pants . Pacifica walked around Albert's head and saw a little compared to Albert dog, he has white fur with small shades of gold, with a short thick muzzle and deep blackish brown eyes that would melt into your soul.

 "Oh my gosh! Philly! You're okay, thank God you're okay, I've been so worried about you, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!" Philly whined for one second then bowed his head to the ground and dropped one of the draft scrolls for her then let out a deep, loud, happy bark. The Philly pointed his nose to a hallway that would lead out into the town but only he could fit in there and he'd usually bring back news from the castle that landed on the ground. Philly looked at Albert while panting and slowly troddled towards him and laid next to his resting head around the side of his face while cuddling around the fireplace. "Dad! Look, they're making everyone come to the castle to look for Jack!" "What the fuck is Angelina doing now." He mutters to himself. "What do you mean, why would she bring everyone here now? Why won't she let mom come back?"
