Chapter 12: After 5 years
After 5 years, Zkak, Ldziiel, Zjii, Tzog and Hjjaak had become one family. The Twin had become new children of the Night Furies. Hjjaak now was big and long like a moutain and no cave was fitted for her.. But she didn't mind about this and she always slept outside. The twin was still childish somehow and they still slept with Hjjaak and they usually slept on Hjjaak's back. The Night Fury parents still slept in the cave and usually looked at their children sleeping together with joyful. Hjjaak usually swam to sea to hunt down the giant sea creatures for food to her family. Despite her huge body, many monster didn't dare to come near Hjjaak then she could protect her family. Zkak said they were a odd dragon family with little humor somehow and everybody agreed with him.
One day, a Gronckle flew to their home. He was really tired and he passed out. The Night Fury parents had found him in the forest and bring him to their home. The male Gronckle woke up after 30 minutes and he ate all the fish that the Night Furies brang to him. After finishing the meal, he thanked to the Night Furies for saving his life and food. The Night Furies began to asked the male Gronckle.
- "What happen to you? Why do you come the island? Where are you come from?" – Zkak asked first.
- "This is terrible." – The Gronckle was shaked when he told to the Night Furies. He said: "I don't know how to begin." – He confused.
- "Don't worry, just tell us when you ready." – Ldziiel warmed up him.
The male Gronckle took a deep breath then he began his story. He told he came from a beautiful island. The dragons in the island had the leader are three Elders. Both Zkak and Ldiziiel looked at the male Gronckle with surprised face.
- "We came from the island too! This is our old home!" – Ldziiel told him with completely surprised.
- "You had lived in the island before? Wait a second, you are Zkak and Ldziiel! All of the dragons always talk about you. I had heard you have an adoptive child is a Red Death baby and everybody thought you was death." – The male Gronckle said with surprising about the Night Furies.
- "Yes, we still lived with our children in the beast island. Oh! They here." – Zkak said.
Hjjaak, Zjii and Tzog came home. The Gronckle was terrified when he saw three colossal dragons especially Hjjaak.
- "By the gods! The six eyes monster come to eat us! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" – The male Gronckle screamed like Hel.
- "CALM DOWN! The "six eyes monster" is our daughter and the twin is our children too. Hjjaak may be the Red Death like three old grump dragons said but that not mean she is evil." – Zkak said to the Gronckle with angry face.
- "You …. said … she … is … a … good … dragon?!" – Gronckle speak with fear.
- "That right! If you don't like her then don't try to make our daughter sad because your fear." – Ldziiel said like she would kick his ass.
The Gronckle had a deep thinking then he suddently begged with tears from his eyes: "I beg you! Hjjaak! I know this thing may be too hard for you and I don't have right to beg you! But you must help us to save our island."
Hjjaak with her family looked at the Gronckle with confused face.
- "Why do you need my help?" – Hjjaak asked.
- "One year ago, a Red Death came to our island to conquered the all island. The Elders tried to protect us but they are powerless to the monster dragon. They have no choice then they save many dragons as they can and all of them are hiding at the tunnel which is build by the Whispering Deaths. The unfortunatly dragons don't have any choice to become its slaves or is eaten by the Red Death. Hjjaak, if you are a good Red Death like your parents said so please help us."
Hjjaak looked at the poor Gronckle with the pity. She began to felt shame and hated about herself. She feared just she could become the Evil Red Death like Gronckle said. However, her parents and the twin comfort her and they said they believed her. Hjjaak calm down and said: "All right, I will help you to kill the Evil Red Death. But I can't promise you that I will success the mission." The male Gronckle was happy after hearing her accept and Hjjaak told her family stay at home because if she didn't come back after eight days then they had time to run. However, her parents and her twin brother sister didn't agree about her idea and they came with her.
- "You can't fight alone with the Red Death!" – Zkak protested.
- "But Dad I had killed many monster in the beast island. So I can kill the dragon." – Hjjaak said to her Dad with confident about herself.
- "Not the dragon! You like us really don't know about the power of the Evil Dragon." – Ldziiel protested her daughter.
- "I agree with Dad and Mom." – Tzog agree with her adoptive parents.
- "Hjjaak! I know you are not coward and you are courage girl. But I tell you one thing that we still follow you even you agree or not." – Zjii told Hjjaak clearly.
Hjjaak didn't have any choice to let her family follow her but she felt guilt just she put her family in the dangerous situation.
