What's this? A double update! The fourth chapter is up. Will the dragons survive the previous attack? If they do will they ever find the oracle? Probably, but let's find out.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the oc's and the creatures in the desert (They're coming to get you).

Chapter 4: The Oracle

Terror was doing his rounds around the city of Wastenia, a town of dragons that had survived the war and rebuilt in the Wasteland. Terror flew around the border making sure no weird monsters from the desert got in. Terror was a fear dragon, but he had a strange ability. He could heal dragons just by placing his paw onto their forehead. Suddenly he heard a loud roar to his left. He flew in that direction and saw a Basalt falling down onto a smaller object. Terror flew off to fight the Basalt and as he got closer he saw a young dragon being crushed by the monster. It would have been funny if this wasn't about life and death. Terror charged up a fear beam and shot it at the monster. The air rumbled as the Basalt was hit and fell off the young dragon. With the beast out of the way, Terror could see another dragon lying unconscious on the ground by a rock. Terror carefully picked them up and carried them back towards the city.

Frost woke up and quickly realised he was lying in a bed. This confused him as he thought he was in a desert. He tried to move but screamed in pain as his muscles and bones in his chest and abdominals burned in protest to the movement. His scream must have alerted some of the other dragons, because a fear dragon walked into the room.

"Be still young dragon, the fear dragon said. "I am Terror and I am the city's physician. You have a few broken ribs." Frost groaned as he realised that he would not be able to move for a long time.

"Now normally it would take you two months to walk around without being in pain, and then a further two months before you would be fully healed but I can heal you in a matter of hours," said Terror.

"H-h-how?" Frost asked, barely getting the word out.

"I have a unique ability to speed up the body's recovery system, sort of like a supercharged red crystal," Terror responded. "Now be still otherwise it won't work to it' fullest extent." Terror placed his hand on Frost's forehead and Frost immediately felt some of the pain easing away. He didn't know how it was happening but he didn't care. He heard a groan next to him as he realised his brother was in a bed beside him. Terror immediately hushed the fire dragon as he explained that Blaze had a broken front leg and a broken back leg, presumably from where he fell after hitting the rock. Terror placed his spare hand on Blaze's forehead and Blaze looked like he settled as much as Frost did. The three dragons were like that for the entire day. When the sun began sinking beneath the horizon a young wind dragon walked into the room.

"Daddy, it's time to go home," The dragon said.

"Alright, Aira I'll be out soon," Terror told his daughter. Terror stood up and began to talk to the twins. "Alright you should both be just about right but I want you to sleep here for the night. I may pop over in a few hours to check how you're doing, and don't be surprised if my daughter comes in, she likes to talk to my patients."

"Thank you very much Terror," Frost said.

"Yeah thanks to you we can complete our mission," Blaze said. Frost looked at him and his eyes stared Blaze into submission.

"He's just a little confused, he doesn't know what his saying," Frost said. Terror looked sceptical but he believed the young ice dragon. Terror left, leaving the twins by themselves. Frost immediately turned to Blaze and said;

"Why would you say that?"

"A little slip of the tongue," Blaze responded.

"A little slip of the tongue MY AS-" Frost said before he was cut off by Blaze's stomach rumbling. The two twins laughed as Frost lay down in his bed and Blaze contemplated what he was going to do with his empty stomach. Blaze lay down as well and tried to go to sleep. Frost soon dozed off and didn't notice that Aira had walked back in about an hour after she left. Blaze had a very interesting conversation that ended with a peck on the cheek when Terror took her home. Blaze blushed as he and soon fell asleep.

The sun was nearly directly overhead when Blaze woke up. When he realized where the sun was he yelled and ran around the room. This woke Frost up and he blew a cold wind at Blaze. It was not powerful but it made Blaze shiver and he calmed down. Blaze's stomach growled and both dragons realised they hadn't eaten for a few days. They looked around for their back packs and could not find them. The twins walked out of the room and Terror spotted them, holding their back packs.

"Ah the sleeping beauties have woken," Terror said laughing at his wit and handing them the back packs.

"I am quite pretty," said Blaze, which made Frost slap his forehead.

"I'd imagine your starving, if you go down the hall, turn right at the first door," Terror told them.

"Thanks," Frost said as he started to walk but Terror had one more thing to say to Blaze.

"I warn you kid, Aira is way out of your league," Terror told him.

"I don't think so," Blaze said as he followed Frost chuckling. They heard Terror also laugh a little.

"What was that about?" Frost asked his brother.

"Oh just something that happened with Aira last night while you were asleep," Blaze said. Frost smiled and just walked into the door Terror had pointed out. There was a counter which had various meats, fruits and berries available to them. Frost picked up a few pieces of fruit while Blaze picked up a huge chunk of meat.

"Where do they even get fruit in this desert?" Frost asked his brother.

"Where so they get this meat?" Blaze asked as he started to rapidly shove the food into his waiting mouth. Soon the boys had finished the food and found their outside of the building.

"Where do you think the oracle is?" Blaze asked.

"Maybe over there, under the sign that says; Oracle's Tent," Frost said.

"Oh," was all Blaze could say, feeling pretty stupid. The boys walked towards the sign and walked into the tent. There was a rather big fire dragon blocking their way.

"Do you have an oracle pass?" The dragon said.

"No," Frost told the guard.

"Then you must take the long route," The guard said as he ushered them into a building at the side of the tent. Frost found a sign that read; Answer the question correctly and the door to the oracle will open. The boys walked towards a door. A control panel was on the side of the door. Blaze looked at it and read the question to Frost.

"I follow you wherever you go, but the more of me you take, the more you leave behind. Press the not incorrect button to advance. Is it A: Time, B: Your Shadow, C: Footsteps or D: A Giant Lizard."

"Well it says, not incorrect, which really means the right answer," Frost said.

"Foolish attempt to confuse us," Blaze said.

"D makes no sense," Frost said.

"A is constant so it can't be that," Blaze reasoned.

"I think its C," Frost exclaimed.

"I do too," Blaze said as he pushed C. The door flung open and revealed an old dragon. This dragon was a shiny golden colour and she seemed to be a never ending pool of knowledge. The twins walked up to the dragon.

"Greetings younglings, how may I help you?" The oracle asked the twins.

"Do you know about that black light in the sky?" asked Blaze.

"Yes," The Oracle answered.

"We need to defeat it, can you tell us how?" Frost asked.

"No, only the chosen can hear how to defeat the Dark Lord Ship. All other dragons are irrelevant to the fate of this world," The Oracle said.

"Well who are the chosen ones?" Frost said.

"The chosen have to have already completed a task," The oracle said. "The end for this world is rapidly approaching and the chosen one has not arrived yet."

"How do you know who the chosen one is," Blaze asked.

"Something reacts to this artefact," The Oracle said as she pulled out a sphere shaped object. Suddenly Frost's own sphere flew out of his back pack. Three small spheres shot out form the main one and started orbiting it. It floated around the sphere the Oracle held.

"Ah, the Ancestor sphere, you are the chosen ones," The Oracle said.

"I think you owe us an apology," Blaze said. Frost jabbed him in the side.

"Okay now, if you two return to Warfang and find a book titled 'The mysteries of ancestor magic', and turn to chapter twelve, you will find where you need to go next. Take this Oracle pass and this Commorb. The oracle pass will allow you quick entry of this tent and the Commorb will flash bright orange if I need to talk to you."

"Thanks," said Frost.

"Now stay still you two," The oracle said. The two boys were surrounded by a bright white light. It blocked their view of everything and after a few seconds it died down. To the boys surprise they were outside Warfang's gates. The Oracle must have teleported them. The twins walked into Warfang and prepared for the welcome they were no doubt going to get.

Yay. The Twins survived and now they know what to do next. For those of you wondering about the question, I got it from Spyro; Year of the Dragon. Thanks to all those people who have read this far and reviews are still much appreciated. Reviews do wonders to peoples self-esteem you know.
