Chapter 3
A loud knock happened during midnight, Feather woke up and walked towards the door. She open the door and asked three guards, " What is it?" " We understand your fostering a hatchling, is that correct?" said a mare guard. Feather cleared her throat, then nodded saying, "Yes, his name's Ja'Fang, why?" "Madam we just needed to know this, and sorry for waking you up so late," Said the guard on the left of the mare. The guards left a few breaths later.
Feather went back to her bed and fell asleep, unaware Ja'Fang was still up. He, got to his hooves and looked out side at the stars, he was befounded from the beauty of the night. He was dumbstrucken when he saw an owl fly over the garden, that fed him and his parents. He looked around his white, clean room. He looked back at the stars saying, "If you can hear me up their, I want to meet you."
Daylight shinned into the room and woke Ja'Fang up, he could feel a mark on his head, for he had slept on his window shill. He shook his head and started to head to the door when he heard loud metal hoof steps coming to his room, he ran and hid under his bed. The door squeaked open and three pairs of hooves steped inside his room. The hooves belonged to the three guards, one of them started to speak "I think Ja'Fang's with his parents today, we better go and wait till they return." "Yes, Gust Wind!" one of the stallions said as he followed them out of teh room.
The front door shut behind them as they left the house. Ja'Fang got out of his hiding place when they had left. He walked into the living room and saw a strange knife, he walked up to it and saw it was as black as coal, but as hard as diamond. He could see engraved words in it but it was scratched away. He put it back where he had found it. The front door opened and Feather walked in with Jake. carrying alot of food, Feather stopped and sat beside Ja'Fang and said, "Your wondering what that knife is, and why it's here, right?" Ja'Fang nodded. She continued "it use to be my fathers, it's a La'Grace Ja'Fay, it means, Graceful Knife, it was made from a dragon scale, and Black Steal."
Jake walked in carrying a small box, he put them down, it was full of cards. Jake walked over to the table, in the living room and put the box to the side. "Ja'Fang, come here, I have some thing we can do!" Jake, slightly teased. Ja'Fang trotted over to the table and sat down next to Jake. He pulled out one card, it had a princess on it, but the princess was a changeling, but had some dragon features as well as changeling features. Jake spoke as he layed it infront of Ja'Fang saying, "Theses cards, were my prized procession when I was your age, and they've been getting dusty, why don't we clean them off and check them out OK?" "OK!," Ja'Fang said happily, he always wondered what his dad knew and what he did.
