The Lost Dragon Eye (Discontinued)

Chapter 2 Wolf's Bane

I was sitting in my bedroom by myself smoking some wolf's bane and getting higher the clouds when there was a knock at the door. I get up and hide my stash just as my father walks in, I could tell he knew what I had been doing by the disapproving look he gave me.

"James he said after breakfast meet me in my office" and then he left me there by myself. "Good morning to you too I said under my breath" as I joined the rest of the pack downstairs in the cafeteria.

Nervous about why my dad wanted me to come to his office after breakfast to talk to him. I tried not to think about it as I sat down next to my little sister Lily.

"What does dad want to talk to you about?" She asked. " "You heard about that huh?" I said, "Yes, and about almost everyone else in the pack she said."

I look around the cafeteria to see everyone looking at me and whispering about me. Huh, I thought so everyone knew about it, I wonder what else they knew about and if they tell on me to my father. After breakfast, walk to my father's office and knock on the door after standing there for five minutes. 

"Come in James he said." here goes nothing I thought as I opened the door. "Take a seat he said". pointing to the chair in front of him. I sit down in front of him, I look around the office, I have been here a million times yet I am always nervous no matter what. He knew I was nervous by the way my body language is. 

"Relax James he said." 

" You're not in trouble." 

" Okay, so what is this about then?" " Do you remember when you were little and I use to tell you about four prodigies coming together to find four items to stop a war from happening?"

 "yes, I said, the four items were. the lost dragon eye, the ancient wolf fang, the sharpest griffin talon, and the magical pegasus feathers right? Yes, that's correct he said I smiled, and then it hit me, didn't you tell me that I was one of those prodigies? Yes and that is what I want to talk to you about. What do you mean? Well, it is your time to shine son." 

 I look at him confused. "you're not asking what I think your asking, are you?" " Yes, James, I am you must venture beyond our gate and territory to find the others and the four sacred objects for the kingdom's future is in your and your companies hands he said." " Okay, where do I find them?"  " I don't know he said that is for you to figure out on your own. " Great I thought another thing I get to do on my own yay. "Okay, I said looking him straight in the eye, now what do we do? We get you ready for your adventure, so go pack up you're leaving before dawn he said. I got up and walked to the door," " And James I look back at him yeah? Quit smoking wolf's bane it's disgusting he said", I just nodded and left. 

That evening right before dawn I waited as the guards opened the gate, I heard it groan in protest and understood it, I didn't want to go either, but I had no other choice, I was about to step out when I heard my sister's voice " Wait, James you're forgetting something" I look up just as she's caught up to me " what did I forget?" "this, she said" and hands me my hunting dagger    " Oh, right thank you"  "anytime she said" and gave me a hug and wished me good luck before I stepped out of the gate, and watched it close behind me, I faced the forest hear we go I thought as I took my first step.
