Chapter four..
Looking For This…
The Drew took a shirt from Zareks belongings and sniffed it he coughed.
The others laughed.
Inhaling deeply he sniffed the air, and focused with all his mind on Zareks scent.
"This way." He moved according to the direction he pointed the others followed, unaware of the spies the King had put in place within the forest.
After a long walk they finally found him meditating in a corner. The Drew stopped his brothers from going closer.
"The dragon says he is the chosen one and we must not harm him." The other two nodded, asking the dragon why did they not think of that.
Zarek was trying to connect to his step sister he was really worried about he had learnt to be in two places at once what was the worst thing that could happen.
"Where is it?." Zarek watched his step sister look frantically for her key.
"Looking for this?." Nyraxa heard a stranger spoke she grabbed her sword before turning back.
" Who are you?." Nyraxa tried to act bravely.
"I am the shadow of your past and the light of your future, the guide of your present."
Zarek replied her, he was enjoying the confusion that glared all over Nyraxas face.
"If you are not here to tell me how to unlock my magic then I suggest for your own sake you better leave."
Zarek stepped closer, strangely he admired her beauty but shook his head trying to snap out of it.
"You are more than this, more than father's puppet. You need to stop letting him use you."
Nyraxa knew she had heard those words before, but had forgotten where. Her father wiped every memory she had of her brother unknown to her.
" You stood there and watched your own mother's death, did you not feel even the slightest pain, provocation." Zarek asked.
He tried his best to input emotions in her hardened heart, but Nyraxa threw her sword at him.
The sword went right through him.
"Go away." Nyraxa ran out of her room. Zarek vanished also. In the forest where his body sat his spirit returned and he opened his eyes.
Zarek stood up seeing the Drew's but saying nothing.
" The dragon told me that you are it's master." McIntyre the eldest Drew tried to make him speak.
No one understood the burden in Zareks heart, he had to find a way to bring the people together but his own father stood in the way.
"Tell me, why did my father banish the witches. Did he have a good reason or was it just him." Zarek asked.
The Drew's looked at one another silently, only the dragon could answer they were just children.
They led Zarek to the hut, he felt it again, the fire in his bones, past memories flooding his mind.
The dragon flew upward slowly, the injury on his wings still showing its effect.
" Where have you being all these time healer?." The dragon questioned Zarek.
The spies had seen enough, they would report what they witnessed to King Voss.
As they tried to escaped Dourins ear caught the tiny steps they made on the forest floor.
" Someone is here." He whispered to McIntyre.
Kragnir tried to see through the forest and but something covered them something like a fog.
The royal sorceress stood in the air and covered the spies as they tried to escape. The dragon went back into the hut.
McIntyre held his brother and together they traced the spies.
"Run.." The leader of the spies ordered and the men ran for there lives but only one was able to leave the forest, the others were murdered.
The spy returned to the forest panting.
"Out with it ." The King ordered.
" I have seen it with my eyes sire, the dragon and his healer."
The King tapped his fingers on the throne and sent the spy away.
" I have always wanted to be the most powerful man, the dragon Lord but someone stood in my way.
You escaped once but I will not let you escape again, I am sure you will return in disguise and that will be your last day in this world."
The King spoke to himself.
Nyraxas bedroom..
Nyraxa sat on her bed, her mine troubled her with the strangers words.
How could she just sit there and watch her mother die, had she really become vain?.
Looking at the mirror she hated her self every second, and she hardened her heart even more.
She would avenge her mother, and she would be even more powerful than her father.
Nyraxa called her maid..
"Did you see anyone leave my bedroom earlier today?." She asked her voice sweet and innocent.
"No my lady." Her maid asked fearfully.
Nyraxa had always felt extremely lonely in the palace, she quickly dismissed her maid.
Something felt missing in her heart, something she desperately wanted.
'Affection, Attention.'
Nyraxa had felt a bit of it when her father placed his fingers inside her. Nyraxa wanted to feel that way again.
To her it did not matter if it unlocked magic or not, she wanted to feel loved by the man who she so desperately tried to please.
Nyraxa called for her maid once again..
"You sent for my lady."
Nyraxa nodded.
"Today you will bath me, but this time not like every other day. You will dip your fingers in me."
The maid never expected such a forbidden request, she tried to refuse..
"There are other maids my lady.."
Nyraxa stopped her, her hand high up in the air.
" You should feel proud that I have called you and if you dare refuse me, I will cut off your fingers.."
Nyraxa walked away humming , searched her wardrobe choosing what gown would make her shine..
The maid walked out of the room to prepare the princess for her shower with a frown on her face.
She was too angry to look ahead, she bumped into a knight before her.
