Chapter 12: United Once More

Cole's POV

I didn't know what to expect when we saw Kai and Nya again. This place so far had been real awkward since we had first arrived, and I had taken responsibility for doing the talking for my brothers. Ever since we had first arrived things seemed out of place. I didn't know what the story was with Kai and the strange dragons and men, but I was going to find out.

Adalia pushed open the large stone doors and we stepped inside. The room was smaller than the main hall, but it was decorated well. Stained glass windows lined the walls, and a beautiful chandelier hung from the ceiling. A large platform sat in the back of the room, and a pair of giant thrones-too large for a man to sit in- sat on top of it. In front of the thrones stood Kai, Nya besides him.

I looked Kai straight in the eye, but he seemed to be staring me down. His blood red eyes seemed to stare into mine, seeing straight through to my soul. I froze in confusion, and fear. We stood in silence, no one daring to make a sound. Even Jay resented from running over to Nya, whose eyes had also become a faint red color. She looked at Kai, but her eyes were soft and seemed to be full of worry.

Removing my gaze from Kai's painful eyes, I looked at his armor instead. It was black, with a long cape attached to it. Kai looked like an evil warlord, and I didn't like it.

Kai' POV

Some say that the eyes are windows to the soul. As I stared into Cole's dark brown eyes, I felt his fears. I felt his pain. I heard his thoughts. It was the oddest yet the most incredible sensation I've ever experienced. His eyes drew me towards them, and I found myself pained to look away. I struggled to pull my gaze away, but my eyes locked onto his.

I squeezed my eyes tightly and I fell to my knees.

"K-Kai?" I heard a voice ask. I lifted my head to see Lloyd stepping forwards, his voice shaking.

I stood and looked up at him. "Lloyd, … I'm sorry if I scared you."

I walked towards them, but it felt wrong. I sensed that they were scared. As I neared them, Lloyd came closer to me.

"Kai, what happened to you?" He said, looking up at me. I averted my gaze down towards the floor, carefully avoiding his eyes. I felt so alone, so completely and utterly confused, I didn't know what to do.

I wanted to scream, but I felt happy.

"Guys I-I'm so happy that you're here I …" I didn't know what to say. That's all I could get out.

Lloyd's POV

The atmosphere of the room seemed out of place, and the tension in the room seemed wrong. We were brothers, weren't we?

I had missed Kai so much while he was gone, wanted so badly to see him again, but now that I finally found him again, I wanted to run away. His eyes, they seemed to burn into my skin, yet I couldn't tell if it was a curse or a blessing. While my mind wandered, I seemed to zone out on what was going on in front of me. But I ignored it and walked up to him.

"Kai, I missed you." I said, and I gave him a hug, which surprised me as much as it did him, but we both got over it and we were just happy to see each other.

Jay's POV

I found myself staring at Nya's beauty, her hair, her dress, everything about her seemed ten times better than before. Not to say she wasn't bad before but … wow. Her dress was red like before, but it was fringed on the bottom and it had a swirl –like design on the front. Her hair was slightly longer than before, and a silver tiara was on her head. It was encrusted with red jewels that I couldn't name. I was speechless.

The next thing I knew, Kai and Lloyd were hugging. Finally I couldn't take it any longer. I walked over to Nya, who immediately came towards me.

Nya's POV

I saw Jay coming up to me, so I walked up to him.

"Nya I'm so happy to see you." He said, inching closer to me.

"I missed you Jay." I told him, and he wrapped his arms around me, and our lips intersected, warmth filling my veins.

When we finally broke apart Kai was still talking to the others, and so we joined them.

Kai's POV

After we all reunited, Zane, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke.

"Kai, please explain how you have gotten here, and why they call you "prince"?"

I sighed. "I'll explain everything, but it will take a while. So for now, follow me."

Zane nodded, and I led them higher up in the castle, into a large room with couches and a large fireplace, a dangerously large fire burning brightly inside. I motioned to one of the couches and they sat down, and I sat in front of them.

"Ok so, after I jumped off the Bounty ….."

I told them my whole story, the island, the reflection, the temple, the room, saving Nya..

"Wait wait wait. You can turn into a dragon?!" Jay asked looking at me shocked.

"Yeah. I'll show you later." I said with a smirk. And I continued on.

The temple, the statues, the army, and then a little bit about them showing us the castle, and finally, I explained why I fell to the floor and why I wouldn't look any of them in the eye.

I finally finished with a sigh. "Did I miss anything Nya?"

"I don't think so." She replied, but she sounded slightly unsure.

I nodded and then turned to Jay. "I think I have something to show you."

Yeah so This chapter had a lot of POVs but the next one will be about everybody! Also try to be prepared for a sad chapter :(

Until next time :) SO go have an awesome day/night whatever it is for ya :3
