Chapter 2
Quest for Dragon Chow
I rode the boat to Sunbreeze Grove. I got out, and thanked the man. He tipped his hat at me and put up his feet on the boat, then went to sleep. I walked to the grove and saw Elysia and Lady Celestia, they were talking about something.
"Hey Elysia, Lady C" They saw me and stopped their conversation to greet me.
"What were you guys talking about?" Lady Celestia waved her hand, dismissing the topic.
"Nothing important, what can we do for you, Intex?"
"I'm here to buy food for, Hell"
"Oh, here you go Intex" Elysia handed me a bag of chow.
"Thanks, Elysia"
"How is Hellebore doing, Intex?"
"He's doing well"
"I assume then, that he's not up to any mischief?"
"Nope, he's been good"
"That's good, and training?"
I grinned, they didn't notice my fib. I didn't know why I always cover for him. This was the last time I vowed, like I did thousands of times before.
"Good, he learned all of his skills and listens to me now" I said proudly.
"That reminds me, how long does it take for a dragon to grow?"
"A dragon takes centuries to grow"
"Oh" I said sadly, it would have been nice to ride him, and fly in the skies.
"There is a way for him to take on his adult form… a dragon amulet"
"A dragon amulet…"
Lady Celestia took out an amulet from her pocket, and held it out to me. I didn't know that dress even had a pocket.
"This is a dragon amulet, it does as I mentioned before and acts as a summon"
"Here take it, think of it as a gift from me"
"Thank you, Lady Celestia" The amulet glowed faintly, when I held it in my hand.
"I know the perfect place to put this"
I took out the chain that hanged on my neck, and slid the amulet on it and put it on.
"Pretty" Elysia commented.
"Yes, it does make a rather beautiful necklace" Lady Celestia agreed.
"Thanks, well I will take my leave now"
"I wish you safe travels" She said with a smile.
"Take care, Intex" Elysia said kindly.
"You too" I turned and left the grove.
I got on the boat and the man woke up with a start, he looked at me once and rowed the boat, toward Oaklore.
