A week had past. Rose slept most of the time. While Jake as either napping or hoarding. After some searching Jonathon had found Fu and explained him why Jake had acted in such a way. But as soon as he was back in the cave. Jake chased after him because he had made a witty remark of what a nice omelet the egg would make. Another few days later they had a surprise visit from the councilor Andam.

"They in here." Jonathon said as he led Andam through the cave. Jake lifted his head lazily as he heard someone enter.

"Good morning." He groaned.

Andam chuckled. "It is already darkening outside Jacob."

Jake groaned in response.

"Listen councilor. If this is about my punishment. I will do it as soon as my daughter has hatched."

Andam chuckled again. "Don't worry Jacob. You're community service has been withdrawn. The agreement was if you both would have a child, you would get no punishment and immediate acceptance of your bond."

Jake got up and shook the dust off him.

"Serious?"

Andam nodded. "Well there is one little thing. Councilor Chang insisted that your mate would be punished as I see fit."

Jake frowned. "I'll take her punishment. She couldn't know it was her first dragon bal."

"Very fine. You will not be able to leave this cave for at least the time I am here." Andam smiled.

"uh… That doesn't sound too bad."

Andam leaned sat down on a chair and sighed. "That's right. The thing is. I don't know if you already have noticed. But every member except for Chang. Hates Chichi with a vengeance, me included. That little brat is spoiled and we don't like that. Because her grandmother will resign hopefully soon. She is most likely the only candidate to take her place."

Andam shuddered.

"I don't want that to happen. But so far no one ever stood up against Chang's family and Rose just mopped the floor with her favorite and only granddaughter. When Rose awakes could you pass the message the council sends their blessings and perhaps ask her if she wants to be a candidate for the next councilor. Goodbye Jacob."

With nothing further to say. Andam turned and left.

"Huh? Who was that?" Rose said as she suddenly woke up.

"Just Councilor Andam."

"What did he want?" She asked worried.

"Don't worry, the council gave us their blessings and I had to take your punishment for fighting with Chichi." Jake said with mock sadness.

"Is it bad?"

Jake sat down on her bed and folded his arms around her.

"It's horrible. You're owing me big time." He said with a smile.

"Spit it dragon boy." Rose said a little angry.

"I have to stay in the cave till he leaves." Jake said again with mock sadness.

"He is already gone isn't he?"

Jake laughed. "Exactly."

More weeks had past and Jake had gathered an enormous hoard. His daughter would hatch one of the following days. He was happy and nervous at the same time. Even more now Spud had send them a message that the black dragon in fact Rose's deceased uncle was and controlled by the devil. He now was in a conversation with his father and Andam.

"That dragon makes real dragons look bad." Andam said worried.

"But why? It's not like it will affect us?" Jake scratched his head. "I mean humans know more or less we don't attack villages and such. They will know it is only one dragon gone crazy."

"Jacob, humans see a dragon. they don't pay attention to its color its size or anything else. If they see one bad dragon. They assume all dragons are bad." Jonathon interjected.

"Guess you're right." Jake said defeated.

"Anyhow that dragon must be stopped. Before people will start to search dragons and try to kill them. I hope I can count on you Jacob." Andam smiled.

"Why me? I am sure there are plenty of other dragons around that can handle it. I had to deal with that loser once and I almost lost Rose. I won't be taking any risks. Especially now that my daughter will hatch any day now." Jake fumed

"You don't have a choice that dragon only attacks villages in your territory. So you either have to move and give him this territory or you fight him and force him to leave."

" I won't leave the cave I was hatched in. fine councilor you win. I will keep my eyes open." Jake said defeated.

"Splendid." Andam smiled. "I will leave for Draco isle. There are other matters that need my attention."

Jake grunted a farewell and glared at the councilors back that walked through the portal.

"Why does it always have to be me, dad? Don't they like me or something?"

"I really don't know Jake. It seems that they know something but they don't want to share it. Andam isn't stupid. He knows that dragon doesn't want our territory. I will leave for Draco and talk to Sun she might know something more okay?"

Jake nodded. "Send her my greetings." Jake smiled.

"Will do." Jonathon said as he walked through the portal.

Jake turned and headed for the bedroom to take another nap.

XXX

Not far from the cave two men. An Afro-American knight and a pale bard sat on their horses trying to look epic as they looked over a ledge

"You're really sure the cave is this way?" The white one said.

"Shut it, fool. The map says it is and I pity the fool who doesn't believe the almighty Barlow the eighty-eight can't read a map." The knight said. "When we get there I am going to put some smack down on that dragon and it will be like. Aaaah please almighty knight don't slay me. and I will be like. You listen fool I am going to slay you and sell your hide for profit."

"uhm.. and when you have done that I will make song eighty nine for my repertoire. And they will call me The bard with eighty nine songs." The bard said with a goofy grin.

"That is the most stupid name I have ever heard." The knight said.

"is not."

"It is." Said.

This went on for several times until they both jumped of their horses and started to punch each other.

"Wait what are we doing. We need to save the smack down for the dragon fool." The knight said.

"You started."

"Did not."

Again this went on and on till they again decided it was best if they saved their strength. They both got on their horses and rode towards the cave.

"The name is still stupid." The knight said.

The bard glared. "It's not."

End of chapter

You like. Or is it going to fast? Reason for that I am not sure if I want the daughter to play a role in the story yet. Maybe, maybe not. Maybe there will a sequel…(note the word maybe :3)
