Chapter 11: A New Hero (part 1)
When Mark woke up he found himself inside his room, he looked around and saw Yulie sleeping at the edge of his bed. She must've been taking care of me during my sleep he thought to himself looking at her. He reached out his left arm and placed it on her head, her hair felt like silk in his hand. He stroked her hair and noticed Kuzo standing on his perch sleeping. Then Yulie was waking up and he quickly pulled his arm away from her, as she was waking up she saw mark sitting up in his bed looking at her and smiling.
"Glad to see you woke up" he said. Se looked at him, and then in a quick move she threw her arms around him and hugged him. "Your awake, your finally up, we thought we lost you" she said. Mark was surprised by this, but he didn't care, he wrapped his arms around her "Don't worry, I'm back" he said. He felt something wet on his back and realized she was crying "Please, don't cry for me" he said. She wiped the tears from her eyes saying "Sorry". Letting go of their arms they stood looking at each other for a few seconds "We should probably check on the others" mark said finally. "Yeah" she said getting up from his bed. Mark got up but with a little difficulty, he managed to grab a cane sitting beside his bed, he looked at it "When did this get here?" he asked. "The others thought you might need this" she said helping mark up. "Thanks, come lets see to the others" he said as kuzo flew from his perch and landed on his shoulder.
They reached the vision pool room and found the others in conversation. Ansem saw the two coming and said happily "Mark, you finally up!" The other saw them and said the same thing, they asked if he was alright and he told him he was, a little tired but alright. "How long was I out?" he asked. "About a week, we thought you where dead for a time, but it seems the ancestors won't let that happen" Ignitus said. They then told Mark about what happened during his week long sleep, it seems that Elva, a dragon who mastered the holy element and Leon, a dragon who knows the cosmic element decided to help them in Mark's training. Also the Dark Master hasn't been seen for a while since he retreated "No doubt he is preparing for a battle." The chronicler said nervously.
"We have to hurry in you training mark that is why Elva and Leon where called here to help, you'll need to master the rest of the elements" Ignitus explained. "I knew you'd say that, don't worry I know how to use the Dragon's arm" he said. "You do?" they asked. He explained about his training with Sedro and showed them the techniques he learned. "Well that helps us greatly, looks like Sedro has faith in you" terrador said. Just then the door opened and two dragons appeared, one was a white dragoness, tall and lean, the other was a gold dragon about mark's height in his dragon form. "Mark this is Elva and Leon" Ignitus explained pointing to the two dragons standing in front of them. "So you're the dragon prince we've heard so much about, you're much younger than we thought." Elva said with a smile. "Hey glad to meet you" Leon said shaking hands with mark.
"Now let's get to training" they said. The next few hours where mark training with Volteer training with electricity, when he unleashed his fury a lighting bolt came down and struck mark, the resulting explosion sent dummies flying, when mark landed his body was covered with random bolts of lightning surrounding him. After a break he learned earth, though tired as he was he still managed to use a fury which shot boulders from the sky and summoned tornados near him, the middle soon became a hurricane that engulfed all the dummies and held them at his mercy. When it was over his blade was covered by rock and his hand also.
"That's enough for today, we'll continue tomorrow" Terrador said after the fury was over. They walked into the vision pool room where everyone gathered, "We just got word that the dark master's man, Grabacr was it? Can't fight anymore, he defected from the dark master." Ignitus explained. There was cheer all around after hearing this. "Also, our fears are correct, he is massing an army, and Revan and Cyrix and going to be in it." There was silence in the room. "When will they be here?" Cyril asked. "A month" he said. "Looks like he's serious, but what about us?" Siegfried asked. "We'll call everyone from around the realms to help us in our time of need, and we'll have to accelerate you training Mark" he said to him. "Why did I know you would say that?" he whined
Meanwhile in the Dark Master's castle, he along with Cyrix and Revan both outfitted in black armor stood before them. "I can't believe Grabacr betrayed us" Cyrix said, when grabacr defected everyone was afraid, one was dead and the other left them, now only two are left. "Enough!" the dark master said, the room went silent. "It appears The Dragon Prince is more powerful than I thought, therefore I'm sending you two to go and kill him." He commanded. "Kā¦Kill him?" Cyrix asked. "Yes, he must die" he said darkly. "I have a better idea my lord." Revan said
"Go on." He said. "I noticed that the girl with them, yulie I think, has some feeling for him, how about we capture her as a hostage and he'll have to come here to get her, then he's ours" Revan said. He thought about it for a moment and said "Excellent, we'll go with that plan." He said darkly. They two bowed and left to see an army of two hundred apes ready to fight to the death. "Now it ends" he thought laughing evilly.
