The Edelin Chronicles: The Search for Cindias

Chapter 10: When a Council Talks About a Dragon

I didn't know what else to think, I have been dreaming about the Alpha of fire for more than a month. Well, who can I talk to about this? Mother and Alador? No, they might freak out. Ninari? Most likely not, I don't even know where she is right now. I guess that leaves two people, I hear Domiens speak in my head. I turn to face him as he lays his head on my leg.

"You think that I could talk to them about it?" I ask, he purrs and makes a motion, as if nodding his head. I stand up and grab the two books and head to the room of the Soliaccus twins.

I stand in front of the door, five names carved onto the handle, none of them are mine, sadly. I raise my hand to the door and knock three times. A few minutes pass until I hear a scuffle from inside and some things clattering to the floor. Before Raina opens the door.

"Dawn? What are you doing here?" she asks, clear that she was about ready to go to bed.

"I need to talk, to both of you," she nods, as I hear a scuffle from behind the door

"Who is it?" Roman asks from the unseen bathroom.

"It's Dawn, she wants to talk to us," she yells back, before permitting me to enter.

"Roman, are you decent?" she asks Roman on the other side of a light brown door. And sure enough, he walks out, dressed in a loose-fitting tank top and shorts.

"Greetings Dawn, I apologize for not getting the door, it's just that someone had to push me into the bathroom before I could open the door," Roman glares at Raina, which she returns even harder.

"Well, maybe you should have at least finished getting dressed, I didn't want you answering the door in your underwear," she huffs in annoyance, but Roman smirks.

"Who says I was wearing underwear?" Raina buries her head in her hands, as I blush at the thought. Domiens growls in annoyance, attracting the attention of two other beings in the room. A fox jumps up from Raina's bed, followed by a lion approaching from Roman's.

"Anyways, what were you going to talk to us about?" she asks, Domiens nudges my arm as I shakily pull out my sketchbook and the history book.

"If you want us to marvel at your art, this could have been done at any time," Roman replies, but seeing the look on my face, he immediately goes more serious. I start to flip through the page of my sketchbook until I got to the last page. I turn it around and show the twins. The color drains from their faces as Raina takes the sketchbook from me.

"How did you-?" she asks as I start to flip through the history book.

"I have been having dreams for about a month, the last of which landed me in the healing room," I explain as Roman takes the sketchbook from Raina.

"All the dreams the same, all about him, I never realized that I managed to draw him, but that is what helped me make a connection to the fire alpha," they both sit in shock, looking at the drawing and the book.

"How were you able to contact him?" Roman asks I look at him in confusion, as he continues to examine the drawing.

"This has been the first sign of him in years," ok, now I'm more confused.

"What do you mean?" I ask him, but Raina answers.

"Did you read the rest of this section?" I shake my head, as she composes herself to continue.

"After the war, Cindias returned to the fire country, but after a few months... he disappeared and hasn't been seen until now," she explains, I sit there in shock when I first had these dreams, I didn't know what to think. But now, I know that I was having dreams about the missing alpha of fire? Roman abruptly stands up.
