.Dragon's Legacy.

"Hey spirit, where are we going?" I asked, standing up, hand gripping the fur around its fins near his head.

"This time it isn't us spirits that beg for help but someone from your world."

"Really? Why would they be here then?"

"As you know only highly spiritual beings end up in the spirit plains when they die which is why you were able to meet Seraphim and Leo but not Merlin, sometimes really spiritual people can find their way in here but be unable to find the exit."

"So we are looking for one of those?"

"Yes."

"Who are you talking too?" I looked behind me at Kela with furred brows.

"The spirit, don't you hear him?"

"No."

"Only you can hear me Lin, no one else."

"Right, at least I can understand you.... What's your name anyway? I can't keep calling you the spirit can I?"

"Trah'kata." 

"I... Will call you Tra." I muttered, the way he pronounced his name was complicated. "I don't think I can pronounce the whole thing."

"Do as you wish young human."

-------------------------------------------

Tra flew through the ever changing realm before landing on a stalactite and dug his claws in it leaving us to stare up at a whole town built upside down and snow rising from the endless fog under us to fall up on this weird town. 

"I guess we are getting off here."

"Lin wait!" But I had hopped off, standing on the underside of a balcony.

"Come on Kela, someone here needs help."

"How do you know that?" I grabbed her arm as she jumped over to steady her.

"Tra said so."

"The spirit?"

"Yeah him, now follow me."

Moving around the upside down town wasn't as hard as if I had no magic to help me, creating ice bridges between the buildings, searching for something.

"Kela!" I yelled as she slipped and grabbed her arm, slipping off the bridge too.

I froze my gloved hand to the ice already there before kicking my legs out and yanking them under me, slowly starting to create enough momentum to swing both of us.

"Don't you dare!" But at a peek of a swing, I threw her.

I saw her crash threw a window but yell in surprise as I heard her voice fall.

I didn't wait much, blasting myself after her.

I was free falling through a seemingly endless building now, doors upon doors rushing by me.

I flipped myself so my hands were facing downwards and flexed them, the wooden structures of the doors reaching out in a spiderweb.

I flipped myself so my leg took the harsh shock instead of my face as I made this to catch Kela with a minimum of an impact but she was much lower then I had been.

A sharp pain raised up my left foot to my knee and hip making me grunt softly but I wouldn't retain any injuries once out of the spirit realm as I am sure we are actually asleep in our world, just like the first time this happened to me.

"You alright down there?" I asked, climbing down to her only to be slapped on the head.

"Don't go throwing people around if you don't know what might happen." She sighed. "Anyhow are you alright? The smack you made against the wood was loud."

"Yeah no worries, my feet sting that's all."

"Great so now were?" She set her hand on her hip and twirled her hair around her fingers with the other.

"Well." I looked down and then up. "Lets go downwards."

-------------------------------------------

We inched our way downwards with the help of platforms formed from the wood of the doors, the walls made of something that wouldn't react to my magic nor Kela's.

"There is actually a bottom." Kela said. "Look." but I saw nothing.

"You are sure?" I asked skeptically. "I see nothing." It was as if a fog rested at the edge of where I was 'allowed' to see.

"You and your human eyes." She rolled her eyes and sure enough, it also came into view for me.

I dropped through the opening and into the water bellow.

"This is cold." I muttered, pulling myself onto a sheet of ice floating nearby, Kela landing on it right away.

"I am glad I am not a spirit and need to live in this environment." She said as she helped me to my feet.

"I can't help but agree, come on, lets get to shore it is a jump away." But I ended up slipping on landing, falling hard on my behind as my back slashed back in the icy cold water.

I sat up and glared at her as she was laughing at my misery, it was a really nice laugh but I am chilled to the bones here.

I grabbed her pants and yanked her in the water, falling through it like I did with the snow.

"I don't like free falling!" I yelled a bit pissed before I smacked face first into the ground and Kela landed on me. "Thanks." I said sarcastically, to the spirit plains and glared at the air.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah yeah, you aren't that heavy."

"Such a compliment."

"I didn't mean it like that!" I almost paled at my mess up but her chuckle was relieving to hear.

"It is fine, where are we now?"

Looking around and lighting the small fire I could make in my hand showed us it was a squared stone room... Well not stone since my magic still had no grasp on it. In the middle towered a huge chunk of ice trapping he shape of a woman in it.

"Wow you see that?" I pointed at it.

"Yeah a piece of ice I have eyes Lin."

"No no I mean what is in the ice."

"Are you sure you are alright? Maybe you hit your head going down? Because there is nothing in there."

I looked at it, I knew it was a woman but the more detailed features were melting almost, I couldn't tell who she was, her age or anything that had to do with more then her overall appearance and body shape.

I struck the ice with my fist to test its strength, leaving only a shallow crack in it, magic didn't affect this room so brute force it is.

"What ar--" "Ssssshhhh!" I shushed Kela and she looked surprised but didn't try to stop me as I struck the transparent surface again and again.

When the crack was big enough I fit my fingers in and tried pulling it apart which yielded more progress then my fists did until now, the crack racing through the ice.

It was ridiculously easy to shatter after the struggle it caused before.

The figure was covered in golden glow in the blink of an eyes and two silvery blue glow appeared as they opened their eyes before exploding into a myriad of golden butterflies which made my cover my face.

When I opened them again with were standing in plains of snow again, no trace of the upside down city.

I smiled knowing I helped whoever had been trapped back there.
