Sorry the last chapter was so short... it was more like a filler.
"Princess Dora wanted me to ask you if you wanted to start training in the ways of the Dragon? We are in the Realm of Dragons after all." The ghostly maid continued.
"I'm not sure... I'll think about it though." I told her, clearly suprised at the idea of me... being able to turn into a DRAGON. I'd be more powerful, and I could still be Ghost AND Human! I'd have protection against Vlad! It's an offer I will take... after dinner!
We came into a huge room, with a feast on a large table. Everyone immeadiatly sat down, and we began to eat. The castle life, is good.
SUPER AWESOME LINE BREAK OF TERROR
After we finished eating, Dora dismissed the servants so just me and her sat at the long table. I was at the side opposite to her royal seat, and I knew what she was going to ask me. It seemed like eternity before she asked me the question I was dying to hear. "Would you like to train as a Dragon? It's been a while, and it would help protect you against your... attacker... as Sir Phantom put it." The princess spoke in a casual tone, which reminded me a lot like Sam.
"Yes... it would." I answered, as my anger against Vlad grew at the mention of her saying 'attacker'. It would. I could beat his fruitloop-self into next Tuesday when he tried to mess with me again! And to think, I once thought of him as my father. 'But now... is a time to be serious.' I told myself. "I would like to." I answered confidently, and the princess smiled at this.
"Then Lady Danielle, should we begin your training tomorrow? It's been a while since I had an apprentice..." She said excitedly, and I looked at her knowing she never had one before. "Well... my first apprentice anyways." She said truthfully, and I smiled back. It hasn't even been a day, and Dora seemed like... an older sister to me, who always had my back.
TIME SKIP OF DOOM! BEWARE!
After the... interesting... dinner I had gone upstairs and watched some video. Danny was having some family drama (AN: See my other story when its posted) and it seemed like watching a TV show. Well, it WAS on a television screen. But that's besides the point.
After seeing Danny's situation, I went to bed into a land of somewhat pleasant but still bad, dreams...
I was in the throne room, standing next to a sinister-looking man, and I was... smiling? I was also wearing a strange necklace... It took a moment for the information to soak in, but he was sitting on DORA'S throne, and I had a smaller one. "So Princess Danielle," He said, and I felt shocked but it was like my body was being controlled. I couldn't SHOW that I was shocked. "We've done some fine work here. And I hear my sister..." He spat out the word sister, "Has started to train you as a dragon." The prince finished, and I nodded without actually wanting to. Was this... a projection of the future? I thought, as he continued. "You do not know how to really be a dragon though. I will finish your training." The prince said.
"As you wish Dad." I answered... uh... DREAM me answered. I knew this guy was evil! Then... why did Dream Me call him Dad? My thoughts were interupted as I came back into conciousness.
I woke up from that dream, and thought about it. Was it something that would happen in the future? Even though I knew the figure was evil, there was something that had me calmed down from him. Then, I heard a voice in my head. 'That was a possibility. You CAN change your fate Danielle. Danny chose good, but what will you choose?' What the heck was that supposed to mean! Was it a future, but not my set one? I could choose the possibilities? This information came and startled me... Then I heard a knocking at the door.
"Lady Danielle," I heard the familiar voice of the Princess say. "It's time to start. In human terms, it is 11:00 AM as you put it." She said, and I noted that this part of the Ghost Zone was beguinning to develop better technology. Then I gasped. It was 11? I immediatly got out of bed, and opened the door. Then, I showed my eagerness to train.
"Where do we go?" I say excitedly, as she just smiles. She made a 'follow me' motion, and floated to a training room I seen earlier. Taking the motion, I followed her.
The room was large enough for a few dragon's and there were targets all over the place. "I'll show you a simple obstacle course to take. Just back up a little." I followed her orders, as the Princess grew larger and became more lizard-like. Soon, I seen the wings and she was a dragon. I was amazed as she flew up and hit a few targets with fire.
She then landed, and spoke again. "To create the fire, you basically use an ecto-blast through your mouth. It's the same type of energy, but it comes out as a fire." She went back to normal, and went over to a table.
I followed her, and seen an amulet similar to the one that she was wearing. What is that? It looks like the necklace I wore in that dream... I thought to myself. "Lady Danielle, this necklace allows you to become a dragon on free will. I made it special colors so it would match your forms." My necklace was black, with a white gem in the center. "And its yours." She said, handing me the necklace.
I felt overjoyed... Dora really was like an older sister figure to me... maybe a bit of a mother figure too. I took the necklace and put it on, before pulling her into a hug. She was suprised at first, and hugged me back. "Thank you!" I told her, and she smiled.
Then her face became more serious. "This is a very dangerous weapon. You have to take care of it well." I nodded, and we went back to the course. "Now, try it."
I didn't know what to do. "But... how do I do it? I don't know how to transform into a dragon." I asked, cluelessly.
"You have to think about it. Think about the freedom of the wings, the power of fire, and how you can defeat your enemies." She instructed.
I thought for a little bit. The freedom will give me better flight techniques... I will be powerful with fire in my control, and best of all: I can DEFEAT Vlad on my own. I smiled, as I grew. It felt great! Dora smiled, and showed me a mirror. I looked like she did in dragon form, except the amulet color and the fact that I was mostly white, with black where she was green.
I flew into the air like I normally would, but I was a lot faster. "This is awesome!" I exclaimed as I did some loops.
"Try the obstacle course Lady Danielle!" Dora called from below, as I stared at it, grinning happily. I flew to the right place, and shot a fireball through my nose. It startled myself. "Focus on your mouth." She said, playfully.
I tried again, and a small fire came out of my mouth and headed towards a target. It didn't hit a bullseye, but it was on the edge of the board. I tried again, and hit it closer to the center, then proceeded to complete the next ones. When I finished, Dora looked quite suprised.
"We have a prodigy in our hands." She muttered happily, before turning to me. "Great job Lady Danielle! You did excellent." I smiled.
LINE BREAK
A ghost man sat in a dark room, where you could only see his outline in the shadows. There was a single crystal ball in the middle of the room, which he was staring at. "This girl," He said as it zoomed in on Danielle who was now back to ghost form, "could be very useful. If I can gain her trust that is... I can finally get back at my sister and PHANTOM, and the best way to do it: have his cousin do it for me." The ghost cackled, as his eyes glowed enough for someone to be able to see him if someone was in the room. It was... Prince Aragon.
A small Cliffy won't hurt anyone, would it? Alright, take a guess at what Aragon will be planning. The first reviewer that's correct gets an OC in this fic.
