The Healing. 25

After leaving Winterhaven, Rage winged his way toward the Golden Cliffs. Jandar rode on his back. Gabriel flew next to him, his magical glow was very powerful. Rage could never have found a better person to merge with his egg. He could tell this boy was brave. Gabriel wouldn't have chosen him if he wasn't. On the other side of him flew the twins carrying Dreik and Sarah. Rage knew Jandar was in a hurry to get to Ono in the cave. They would he promised go there next. But he had to talk to these men. Something had to be done about Polan. Here was where plans could be made.
The sun was just beginning to rise as the cliffs came into view. Rage begin to drop down and the rest followed. Shine sat clutching the edge waiting for them. He roared a welcome as they came in.

Gabriel being the smallest landed first. He folded his wings and walked in, then shifted to human form. Gabriel was dressed in gray leather and boots. Rage followed him in to land then all the others
"We have visitors I hear." Rage said as he and Jandar walked toward Jayce." "Introduce us, please."
" Denner Rolson and Corrin Ajakk, this is Rage, King of the Keanna Dragon Clan and Prince Jandar Tyr of the Dark Wolf Clan."
Both Jandar and Rage held out there hands for the two solders to shake. They both stepped up and bowed to them.
" We are honored to meet you and beg for your help."
A look of pain was on both there faces as they bowed.
" How can we help you?" Rage asked them.
" Our country has been invaded by a dark evil man. He killed our royal family, taken out people and infected them with his sickness. There's hardly food in Maveta now. Our children are kept strong enough to work to raise food for his army. The men were all sent to fight for him. This sickness makes us do what he commands. If he were near, I couldn't make this request of you.
" We will do what we can for you." Rage said. " You said something about your prince?"
" Yes Prince Shayn." Denner continued. " He's somewhere in Winterhaven. He was in school. Now he's being hunted by others in black armor. We have to get him out and make sure he's safe."
" Denner." Rage said. " I want to introduce you to someone. Gabriel, please come over here."
A young boy dressed in gray looked up. He had been talking to Shine. Showing him finger movements for magic use.
" Coming." He called. He ran over and stopped in front of them.
" These men are looking for there Prince." Jandar smiled." You might know them."
" DENNER, CORRIN!!!! He jumped into there arms. " I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BOTH!!" "PRINCE SHAYN?"
Together they hugged, all three of them. Tears rolled down his young face as he held his friends. At that moment Shayn felt the sickness in them. It was a black horrid pain that ran all through their bodies.
" Your both sick!" He said. " What happened? No I know. It's Polan. I can feel it just like the others."
" Yes, He did this to us." Corrin said. " And everybody else at home."
" I can heal this." Shayn said." I can make you both better."
" How?" Denner asked.
" I'm one of them now." He told his friends. "A dragon. Let me heal you."
Shayn loved them both. They had protected him and his family all his life. There was nothing he wouldn't do to help them. Shayn took a deep breath, then sent it at their faces. Both men inhaled his breath. There eyes rolled back and there knees buckled and they fell to the ground. Jayce ran to the two men worried.
" Are they alright?"
" There going to be fine. I cured them." Shayn said. " The poison won't ever hurt them again."
Then something caught his attention. A smell.
" What is that I smell? He said. He looked around. There was a man on the ground.
" What?" Jandar asked.
" Him." Shayn pointed.
" Pelic?" Rage said. " I knew he would try something." Rage fumed.
He had tied to grab Jayce. He would roast him. He grabbed him and lifted him with one arm.
" He burns now!!" Rage inhaled.
" NOO!! Shayn said. " He's been poisoned to. He's not responsible he's being controlled. I can help him. Lower him."
Rage did as Shayn asked. He held Pelic out for Shayn. He breathed in his face. Pelic coughed and fell asleep as Rage dropped him.
" Rage." Jandar said. He took his hand. " I have to take him to Ono now."
" I know love. I'll call Gird. He can lead you to the cave." Rage kissed him. " Hurry back."
Rage called out to Gird and he came immediately. Rage told him to take them to the cave.
" Of course," Gird bowed." Shayn take our hands."
He held out his hand for him. All three linked hands.

OFF WE GO TO MY BROTHER ONO WITH HASTE.
WITH NO TIME TO LINGER OR WASTE

They vanished and reappeared in the cave next to Ono. There he slept all red faced. His breathing was labored. Jandar knelt down and wiped his face.
" Polan did this." He said. " Can you help him?"
" Yes I can." Shayn said. " Hold him up."
Jandar took his brother in his arms and held him.
" I can heal most with my breath." Shayn said. " But he needs more. I can feel how sick he is. I'm going to give him my blood."
He put his finger in his mouth and bit himself until he began to bleed.
" Open his mouth." Shayn held out his finger. Jandar opened his mouth and Shayn dropped a few drops in his mouth. Ono's face lost the red color and his breathing cleared almost instantly. Ono let out a sigh. The fever was gone. Jandar knew at that moment that he would be fine. He hugged him and rocked back and forth.
" Jandar." Shayn said. "There's dragon in him now. Open your mouth."
" What?" Jandar asked.
" Rage wants me to do this for you and Jayce too." Shayn said.
" It will make you immune to Polan's poison, for one thing."
Without another word Jandar opened his mouth and Shayn dropped the blood into his mouth. A warm feeling began to spread through him. Jandar began to feel stronger. He looked down as Ono's eyes opened.
" Anything to eat?" He said looking around and saw Jandar then the handsome blond boy in grey leather. " I'm hungry. Jandar? Who's he? He's cute."
Jandar laughed and Shayn joined in.
" What's so funny?" Ono asked sitting up.
" Nothing. We're just glad your OK." Jandar told his brother. "This is Shayn, one of our new Dagons."
"Aiya Shayn."
"Shayn, My brother Onacio."
"Ono please." Ono gave Jandar thast look as he ad Shayn shook hands. "I hate that name."
" Wow this place is amazing." Shayn said. " Look at all the dragons!!!"
" Uncles and aunts." Jandar told him.
" This isn't Polan's work. At least I don't sense his poison." Shayn held out his hand to feel the magic in the room. He didn't feel Polan anywhere. But he did feel something. All the dragons were missing something that was vital to there survival."
" Its the Dragon Spirit. And it is Polan's work. Just not his hand." Gird said. " We stole it. That's what started this whole thing. That's why I'm here protecting this place. My brother and I were selfish, looking to get rich. Now hes dead, the dragons cant wake up and Polan is free and destroying everything he touches."
" It seems like a lonely place." Shayn said.
" It is." Gird looked down. " Its my prison."
" Maybe we can help." Jandar said.
" How?" Gird asked.
" Well I can't wake there bodies, but maybe I can wake there minds so your not alone." Jandar summoned his staff and settled down next to Ono.
" I would be so grateful for the company." Gird smiled. Jandar rose up off te ground and held one his staff. The level of magic in the room began to rise. Gold began to float around the room. Deep in concentration Jandar formulated his spell.

SLEEPING DRAGONS I CALL OUT TO YOU
BRING YOUR MINDS AWAKE FOR ALL OF YOU
WHEN YOUR KIN WILL CALL DONT LET HIM FALL
HONOR HIS CALL AS HE PROTECTS YOU ALL
GIVE HIM YOUR COUNCIL TILL YOU HEAR RAGES CALL.

All around him Gird began to feel minds stir and waken. One by one they began to greet him. Gird smiled and thanked them telling each of them how glad he was to make their acquaintance.
[WE WAKE FOR YOU LITTLE BROTHER]
" I hear them!!!" Gird said. " Thank you so much. i will always be in your debt."
" Thank you for caring for my brother." He said." Come you two. We have to get back to Rage."
" Good bye, Gird." Shayn said." Thank you."
Ono shook his hand then walked over to join Jandar.
" Call if you need me." Gird said.
With a sweeping of his staff they were gone.
