I changed I the last part of the previous chapter. (after they return from the flight.) mainly because my fear that the development between Rose and Jacob goes to fast has been confirmed in the review of Fu dogg.
On to the chapter…
Somewhere in the depths of Hell….
Thrishale strolled through a hallway. The hallway was littered with damned souls who all had fallen for the deal of the devil. Even her soul was owned by the devil. The only reason she wasn't circling between them was that she was the one who helped the devil get these souls.
She entered a massive room with a throne at the other end. There were shade demons circling the floor and as she entered they started to circle her.
"I presume he did not take the offer?" a voice boomed through the room.
"No, not even when I threw in my irresistible self." She said to the voice.
"you are too full of yourself. Don not forget who gave you your beauty and your gift."
A huge figure resembling a dragon out of fire slithered over towards Thrishale shrinking the closer he got.
As he reached her he was a mere 13 feet high and circled her. His head coming close to her ear.
"I gave it to you and can take it away anytime." He said as he moved a claw over her arm.
As he did this the arm changed into rotten flesh. He moved his hand over it again to change it back.
Thrishale shivered at this.
"Do not forget your duty. Bring me the soul of that dragon."
"But why does it have to be him, you could choose another." Thrishale whined.
"No, it has to be him. He has something that I need for my plan to work."
"And what is that?" she asked hands on her hips.
"that is for me to know and for you to wonder. Now go there are souls waiting."
The figure slithered around her once more and went back to his Throne.
"Do not fail me Thrishale."
"I will not fail you master." Thrishale said as she bowed.
She turned and left.

Rose awoke as she heard a man groan. It took her a moment to realize it was Spud.
She got out the bed and moved next to his. Jacob walked up behind her.
"is he awake?" he asked.
"Who Rose I had such a strange dream." He said. "first we were fighting some bad guys the next I know I wake up and see a…" he rubbed his eyes and opened them. "Dragon!"
The shock causing him to fall of the bed head first.
"Spud?" Rose said. "Are you okay."
"I think so. For a minute I thought I saw a…" his sentence cut short by a girly scream he let out.
"we already past the 'aahh a dragon' part." Jacob said amusement clearly hearable.
"ow.. okay?" Spud replied.
"Who is that." Spud mouthed to Rose.
"Jacob, Spud, Spud, Jacob." She introduced the two beings.
"A pleasure to eat. I mean meet you." Jacob said as he bowed.
"Likewise, I guess." Spud said and rubbed his head. "My head is killing me."
"Here is your bag. We did not know which one was the healing potion."
"This one." He said as he pulled out a vial filled with a blue liquid.
He gulped down the whole bottle.
"Aahhh. That tastes good." He said.
"You can use magic. Am I right?" Jacob asked Spud.
"Well I can use it a bit. I am not the best wizard… Yet."
"So you use the Draconic spells Or the Latin rhyme spells?"
"Well depends, most of the time draconic I guess." Spud said.
"nothing above the original." Jacob proudly said.
"Original?" Rose asked her eyebrow risen.
"We dragons are the source of magic. Our blood contains elements which make humans able to use magic. One of Spud's ancestors must have been a very good friend of a dragon being able to get it."
"What makes you think he got it from the dragon and didn't take it." Spud asked.
"If you take the blood from a dragon by force. It will be useless. It is a safety measure so evil persons cannot get their hands on magic. Unfortunately even dragons can be misguided by some people."
"I feel dirty." Spud suddenly said.
Jacob blinked a few times. "I beg your pardon?"
"Do you have a place around here where I can wash. I do not like the blood which crusted up in my hair."
"In the back of the cave. Is a small lake with a waterfall. You can use that. I suppose. And I think you would like to clean yourself as well." He said as he turned to Rose.
Rose looked down her clothes. They weren't very clean. And she could use a wash.
"That would be nice. Yes." She said.
"could I bring you something else." Jacob asked the two humans.
"well I could use some clothes these are.." he smelled his robe and continued with a hoarse voice. "a bit dirty."
Jacob thought for a moment. "I think I have something wait here."
He opened his wings and flew deeper into the cave. After a while he returned with a dress and some clothes for Spud.
"here you go."
As he handed Spud the clothes ,Spud stormed off shouting. "First."
Jacob and Rose shook their heads in amusement.
"here" he softly said as he handed her the dress. "be careful it was my mother's."
This confused Rose. "Did you just say it belonged to your mother? How would she be able to fit in this one. She was a dragon right?"
"Yes she was." Jacob chuckled. "there is a part of us you do not know. We can change into…"
Fire engulfed his body and shrunk into a human height. As the fire disappeared a boy Rose's age his hair black with green tips in it. A well toned body. A handsome face and green eyes from which the pupils almost looked like the ones he had in dragon form stood there smiling at Rose.
"Humans."
