Chapter Ten

Colin was asleep and in a dream-like state. His dream was broken off when he heard three words in his mind, "I miss you" he heard the voice say. There was no doubt that it was Fira's voice that said it. He was then woken by his brother Darren, who was also waking from his sleep. "Are you ready for today Darren?"

"Yeah, I guess so. So, who am I training with first?" asked Darren while stretching.

"Umm… I think you are with Volteer first" Colin answered.

"Sweet! Electricity sounds awesome!" Darren said with excitement. Colin just shook his head "What?"

"Yeah, electricity is fun but…"

"But what?"

"Let's just say that you are going to have a headache after"

"Why is that?"

"To put it simply, Volteer has a bit of a motor mouth. Just try to keep up. I will meet you after class for our training ok?"

"Sure-" Darren was cut off by his stomach "But first, let's go and get something to eat!"

"Good idea" Colin said as he winced in pain when he moved his wing "Damn it!"

"Still can't stretch it?" Darren said with a smile.

"I can stretch it. It only hurt because I was trying to flap it. A few more days and we will be able to make the trip to the fortress, but I should be able to start doing short flights by tomorrow" Colin said, still mad that he couldn't fly yet. The two brothers walked down the hall to the dining area. Colin ordered some fruit and a small boar, while Darren got a serving of deer. Darren had a single thought bugging him "So let me get this straight. We are the last of the silver dragons?" he asked.

"Yes Darren. As far as we know, we are the last ones" answered Colin.

"But there can still be others right?"

"I guess so, but most of us have been slaughtered by Stef's forces. It would be nice to know if there were more because I really do not like the sound of 'The last of our kind' very much"

"Yeah, it is a sad feeling when you think about it. Know about that kind of stuff"

"Well don't let it bring you down. It is time to go to meet Volteer now. Hurry up!" Colin finished the conversation while he started to stand up again. Darren followed quietly as they walked to the training room. They were met by the electric guardian, Volteer, who was in the middle of the room.

"Ah, welcome to my training establishment, young Darren!" said Volteer in his usual excited voice. Darren returned the welcome with a smile, and then looked up to Colin with a look that could only be described as "Help me!" Colin then gave Darren a comforting smile before saying "Don't worry Darren, I will come and get you in a couple of hours. Just do what you are told" he said as he left the room. Darren walked over to Volteer and they began your lesson.

Colin was walking around the temple, bored out of his mind. "Now, what can I do for the next couple hours?" Colin asked himself. He decided to head into Warfang and look around. Colin walked to the front door and decided to try the stages for flying again. First, he stretched his wings and felt no pain. Next, he trying slowly flapping it. He felt a small pain, but it was not enough to be unbearable. He then flapped harder and took off with a smile on his face. It felt good to be airborne again, after not being able to fly for a while. While on his way to Warfang, Colin spotted an ideal clearing that he would bring Darren to so that they could train. After about ten minutes, Colin saw the walls of Warfang and headed for the front gate. Everyone was out today and it was very crowded. Colin made his way to the market and started to see what was for sale. Colin soon had something catch his eye. There were two sets of dragon armor that would fit him and his brother. They were silver with gold engraved designs. There were three parts. The helmet, leg braces and a tail base plate. Colin walked up to the store, his eyes still on the armor. "Excuse me, how much would it be for those two sets of armor?"

"3000 gold pieces each" replied a mole.

"Ill take them" Colin handed the mole the gold pieces and stuck the armor in his side bag. Colin continued his walk and spotted an advertisement for a house in the south end of the city. He took the flyer and also put it in his side bag. Colin looked up at the sun and decided that he should head back to the temple to pick up Darren. After about ten minutes, Colin landed in front of the temple and was met by Cyril, who did not look too pleased. "What do you think you are doing, young dragon? You know that you are not supposed to be flying yet!" yelled Cyril. Colin lowered his head knowing that Cyril was right. His wing was throbbing but he just ignored it." I know Mater Cyril, but it does not hurt to move it anymore" Colin answered. Cyril was not convinced.

"Oh really?" Cyril said as he walked up to Colin. He put his paw on the spot where the wing attached to Colin's body and pushed down. Colin drew in a sharp breath to try and hide the pain he was in. "Just as I thought. Now go inside, Darren is waiting" finished Cyril before taking flight towards the city. Colin then noticed there was a numbing sensation at the base of his wing. He was surprised to find that it was frozen in ice. Colin quickly used his fire element to melt it before going to find Darren. Colin walked around for about five minutes before finding Darren in their room.

"You ready" he asked, startling Darren, who was on the balcony.

"Yes, I'm ready and you're late!"

"I know, sorry. I had to run a few errands. Follow me" Darren went to walk out the door, but was stopped by Colin grabbing his tail. "What?"

"Where are you going?" Colin asked raising an eyebrow.

"To the training room"

"No, we are not using the training room. This way" Colin answered as he took off from the balcony. Darren then took off after him.

"You're not supposed to be flying yet!" Darren yelled from behind.

"I know, but it would take to long to get where we are going!"

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see"
