The Lost Dragon Eye (Discontinued)

Chapter 3 First Flight

I woke up in a field of daisies, crap I thought not again if my stepmom catches me out here I am a dead man. I got up slowly looking around I didn't see anyone outside, okay I thought I just need to sneak around back and get up to my room before anyone realizes that I am not there. I had made it through the back and up the stairs when I heard my stepmother say," Gage Gaberial Diamond", I froze and turned around "yes Mary"?" Where have you been?", Before I could answer, my father, stepped in and looked at me, "Gage go upstairs and get ready for the day after breakfast meet me in my office", I look at my stepmom she gave me a look that said I was in for it." Yes sir I said" and went up to my room to do as I was told.

I had finished getting ready for the day when there was I knock at my door, "Come in I said" in a quiet voice My little brother Matthew came in, he had blood on his shirt," this your's I asked"him he just nodded his head yes. After I got him cleaned up he said that he was trying to fly off the building, I giggled A little, he explained it was going well until he got stuck in a tree and cut his arm. Then he came to me"Do you want me to teach you how to fly properly I asked"He nodded his head, excited about it."Alright, let's go then."So there we were standing in the same field of daises that I woke up in this morning," right first let's shift then follow my lead, okay," "kay he said". So I shifted into a big powerful griffin I flapped my wings, stretching them in and out, and watched my brother do the same, then I crouched down and leaped into the air flapping my wings and watched my brother do the same, we flew together four an hour before I remembered that I had to meet my father in his office. So when we finished up flying he ran off to tell his friends all about it, I smiled before going back inside and taking a deep breath and walking towards my father's office, I knocked on the door.

"come in" I heard my dad said, I opened the door and saw that it was just us two in the room my stepmom was nowhere to be found, I relaxed as I sat down across from him, "what do you want to talk to me about?" "well, remember when your mom use to tell you that onyx the griffin God had big plans for you?" "Yeah, what about it?" " Well she was right and now is your time" He explained to me the profit and how I am one of the four prodigies sent to save the four kingdoms and my home. when he was done I was about to tell him that he was crazy when I heard a scream. My blood ran cold, as I shot out of my seat, and ran to the sound, when I got there Mattew was laying on the ground crying, holding his arm which looked broken, I looked at Aaron my stepbrother who was my age. "What did you do, I asked in a deadly calm voice", " I didn't touch him" he lied through his teeth, I picked up my baby brother and took him to the infirmary," Yes, it is indeed broken," the doctor said, but we will cast it and it should be heeled in a couple of days he said. " Thank the griffon god for healing powers I said, and everyone laughed, after I was sitting in my room with my brother we were watching a movie on my computer when my dad knocked on the door, "Come in I said," He came in, "Have you given any thought to what we spoked about?" he asked me. "I will only go if Mattew comes with me I said." My dad looked at me and signed "fine he said, but you have to both be on the other side of the gate by nightfall" Then he turned around and left. Before I knew it I and my brother were walking away from our home and towards the forest with only the squeaking of the gates behind us, to remind us of the beginning of this new and strange adventure. I looked towards the sky, well I thought at least my mother witnessed my brother's first flight. I reached into my shirt and felt the emerald pendant she gave me, I put on a brave smile and continued my journey.
