A War against another Kind

Chapter 36

A/N When I asked Zach to allow me to use his character his one demand was that they end up together like in his story, so while all the fighting and dying is going on I'll have a blossoming relationship going on like in almost any war movie. But anyway I'm going to be focusing on Zach a little more so I can speed things up. Ok whatever let's go.

Chapter 36:

Morning came again Zach never felt better, except for the fact that he had to move back in the temple with his dad and he had to leave his old home cause some flightless dragons were threatening the land. But still nothing could ruin his mood he had met the girl of his dreams and she was just next door, it was like one of those stories you hear when some guy is living next to a hot girl except in this she liked him back!

He hopped out of bed and groomed himself and was about to leave when he heard someone knock on his door. He walked towards the door and opened it to find Frost. "Oh hey Frost why'd you come over"? Zach asked. Glacia said "Well since this is my first day I thought you could show me around the temple a bit". Zach took this chance and said "Ya of course I'll show you around".

For a split second he could swear he could hear squeal but she quickly recovered and walked beside him. As they were walking down the hall they saw Spyro, Cynder, Kirk and Glacia leave their rooms. They all waited for them walk along side them, when they caught up Kirk said "Giving your girlfriend a tour, ehh Zach"? Zach blushed and said "Hey she may be a girl and she may be my friend but she's not my girlfriend…" Then Frost said "Not yet". She had a devilish smile and everyone looked at Zach with the same smile.

Zach blushed again was almost ready to hide behind his wings until Frost wrapped her tail around his to get his attention and said "Don't worry its fine". Zach felt better around Frost, for some reason he just enjoyed her company. They continued down the hall and they found Nick coming out of his room. When they all got acquainted they all went to the caf. On their way Kirk said "Man I hope that they're serving bacon because…" Glacia cut him and said "Cause they're your favorite"? Kirk smiled and said "Ya that's why".

They reached the cafeteria and as Kirk had hoped they were serving bacon, he rushed ahead of everyone and nearly crashed into a few people making his way over to the serving area. Glacia laughed at his love for food and said "I'm still trying to work out that kink".

Eventually everyone got there food and sat at their normal table. While they were eating Glacia asked "Hey Kirk what was it you two did on your patrol". Kirk and Spyro smiled Spyro explained "We were about to come back from our patrol when I decided we should see how high we could fly, when we broke the cloud layer we saw a Draggard blimp…" Kirk said "You mean we flew into it". Spyro rolled his eyes and continued "… Ya we FLEW into the airship and decided to attack it, while I bravely attacked the airship Kirk hid inside and cowardly blew up the airship". Spyro got some evil glares from Kirk and almost jumped over the table to make him pay but Glacia was able to stop him just in time.

When they finished their breakfast they went to go report to the Guardians, when they entered the Guardians quarters they were not surprised to see them practically drowning in papers. Volteer was the first to noticed them and said "Good morning you all of you, I'm terribly sorry for the mess we've been getting reports of the Draggard spreading like locust. But luckily for you today we have enough scouts so you can have the day off". Before Volteer dismissed them Zach asked him if he would say "Hi" to his dad for him and the younger dragons left.

When they left Zach led Frost to show her around the temple and later the city, Nick left to do whatever by himself. Spyro and Cynder invited Kirk and Glacia to travel around the city and they accepted.

Zach and Frost…

Zach led Frost through the corridors telling her about all the areas of the temple, he knew lots of things about the temple you would never had expected like how this temple was the original temple before the new one was created out in the wilderness. Frost actually found the fun facts pretty interesting since some were kinda outrageous like back when the temple was used more often a few rooms were used as darkness training, a Guardian enchanted the rooms so they would always be dark.

When Zach went to go show Frost the rooms she seemed a little anxious to go inside the dark labyrinth, Zach asked her why she didn't want to go and she almost didn't answer then said "I'm… kinda afraid of the dark". Zach offered his paw and said "Just stay with me I know this course inside and out". Frost grabbed his paw and he pushed her inside the darkness without following.

When she turned around to run back at him she didn't see any light, she turned around and started to walk very slowly and said "Zach this isn't funny, please show a way out of here". She whimpered. When no one answered she continued to walk through the darkness one paw at a time, until she couldn't go any farther.

She stopped and sat on her haunches and curled her tail around herself in a subconscious attempt to protect herself like a hatchling. Zach had watched the whole scene because he had trained his eyes to adapt to the dark much faster than normal. His original plan was to get her over her fear but he knew it wasn't working.

He walked up to her and said "Frost… follow me I'll get you out for real this time". Frost hesitantly grabbed his tail and he led her to the exit, when they finally got out Zach turned to face her to receive the inevitable slap to the face, he was hit in the face then he felt her hug.

Now he was confused "Umm why are you hugging me I just scared the crap out of you"? Frost let go and said "Ya you did… but you did get me out so were even". Zach knew he had found his dream girl for sure now she just forgave him for something any other girl would've instantly leave after, probably meant she liked him a lot too. Zach continued with his tour and fun facts, he came to one that looked like a lab.

When this temple was used the school was also here too, so when Malefor was here before he became full evil he experimented with stuff during the night in there". Frost wondered how Zach could remember all these little facts and asked "How do you even remember all this stuff"? Zach shrugged and said "I don't know I've always been able to just useless annoying crap that no one cares about. They continued with his tour.

Eventually Zach ran out of things to talk about and decided to stop at a balcony looking over the city, the time was around 11 o'clock and they sun was nearly at its peak. "I don't care what everyone says when the sun is the highest and the sunlight gleams off the roofs just right, it's the most beautiful thing I've seen. You probably don't care, not many people think it's an important thing to think about". He laid his head against the balconies railing just waiting for Frost to say he was dumb like everyone had but instead she said "I agree… with the first part I mean".

He lifted his head and looked at her, when he turned his head he nearly hit the side of her head with his snout, he really hadn't noticed that she was right beside him. That's when he felt pressure on his tail, he looked back and saw that Frost had coiled her tail with his and also was leaning against him now.

He lifted his head put it over hers so her head was against his neck. They watched the scene for a few minute until Frost said "Thanks for the tour, but if you don't mind I'm getting kinda hungry". Zach nodded they took off and headed for a place he liked when he lived here.

Zach and Frost landed in front of a building that said "The hungry Drake". They entered and were about to take a seat when they heard a familiar voice. "Hey you two what's going on"? They both turned around to see Spyro, Cynder, Kirk and Glacia all getting in a booth. They invited them over and squeezed in with barely now room left to sit.

Zach asked "So what have you guys been up to"? Kirk replied first "Well we've been checking out the restoration of Warfang, seeing how the cities been recovering". That's when Frost slapped her head and said I just remembered that my parents live in Warfang, at those words Zach tensed up and thought "Oh man now I have to meet her parents".

He forgot about it and they all ordered some lunch, the food was delicious and everyone was full except for Glacia said "No don't worry it's just a little". They paid for the meals and left the building, Zach and Frost went their own way while the other four continued on their way.

Frost said "Man I haven't seen my parent for about a year now but I don't know if they survived the attack or not. Zach said "Well unless you really don't want to learn the answer, I still need to meet them". Frost thought about it for a minute and said "Ya might as well find out".

Zach followed Frost to her parents house, when they reached a small street and they saw that most of the houses we either unscathed or under slight repair. "Frost said "Oh thank the ancestors". She walked up to a small two story house that only had a burn marks on it. She smiled at Zach and said I hope they like you". Then she knocked on the door.

They waited a moment and the door opened for them to see a light blue adult dragoness who instantly said "Frost! You're home, and who is this"? Frost looked at him and said "He's my boyfriend, Zach". Frost mother said "Nice to meet you I'm Snow, oh forgive me come in".

She allowed them in another voice came booming from inside the house "Who was that Snow"? A dark blue dragon came towards them and Zach thought "Oh man this will be the hard part". Frost yelled "Hi Dad"! Her dad said "Frost your home, it's so good to see you. Have you been staying out of trouble since you left you little prankster". Frost smiled and said "Maybe".

Her dad finally noticed Zach and said "And who are you"? Zach cleared his throat and said "My name's Zach it's a pleasure to meet you". Azuron looked at him skeptically already knowing why he was here. Frost let go of Azuron and said "He's my boyfriend". And Zach thought "Oh man now I'm gonna get it".

Azuron looked at him with a devilish smile and said "Oh is he; well I'll be the judge of that". Zach and Frost both gulped while her dad started to "inspect" Zach. After a minute of walking around him and staring at him Azuron said "I'd like to speak with Zach alone". Zach went wide eyed and followed him to a room they could speak in private. "Great I'm gonna get killed by my girlfriend's dad; I knew this was too good to be true. If I'm in a dream please WAKE UP"!

Azuron walked into a room that looked like a study and closed the door. "So you like my Frost"? Zach gulped and said "Yes sir, she's great and…" Azuron said "Well ok then, just make sure you don't do anything until my little girl is ready. Got it"? Zach didn't even think he just nodded his head in fear.

They left the room and he saw Frost a few feet from the door and at the sight of him she visibly sighed asked "So how did it go"? Zach looked a little pale and said "I'm alive aren't I"? She just responded with "Good then".

An hour later…

The last hour was spent getting to know Frost parents, and her parent getting to know him. Her parents were particularly curious about how he saved their daughters life only yesterday. They thanked him and then Snow said "Well you two probably have a lot to do so we'll let you go". Zach thanked her for her hospitality and just as he was about to leave Azuron pointed towards his eyes then back at him and Zach left the house shivering in fear.

As they were leaving the street Zach said "Your mom's really nice but your dad on the other wants to kill me the first chance he gets". Frost laughed and said "Well he's a dad that's his job". Zach rolled his eyes and made their way back to the temple.

When they came back they headed back to their rooms and Frost said "I had a good time today, so I think you deserve this". She then kissed him, Zach was caught off guard and for a second didn't realize where he was then began to kiss her back, they held the kiss until they were out of air. The broke apart and Zach was a little wobbly from all the new sensations but recovered and said "I'll see you later, next time we have some free time you wanna go on another date"? Frost said "Yes and went in her room without saying another word but he could swear he heard her say "Yesss"! From the other side of the door. It suddenly occurred to him it wasn't even close to sun down so he decided to go tinker with his little gem compass trying to get it to work.

It was around an hour before someone knocked on his door; he answered it and saw Nick standing at the door. "Hey Nick, why did you stop by"? Nick just looked over towards Frost door and said "Well I just wanted to know how it went, I saw you two all over the place with her… alone". Zach caught his drift and said "Come on in ad I'll talk".

Nick came in and Zach said "Man today was great, I toured her around the temple then we got something to eat and that was all great but then I had to meet her parents, man I seriously think her dad is just waiting for the right moment so he can kill me". Nick chuckled and said "Well you got to get past the locked door to reach the gold". "Ya but this door is like triple locked". Zach complained and Nick responded "Well then that just means there's diamonds behind the door".

Zach rolled his eyes and turned towards Nick who was gone, "Why does he do that"? Then he heard a knock on the door again, he growled and thought who it could be now. He opened the door and saw Frost at the door. "Oh hey Frost I thought you were done for the night"? She looked at him a little embarrassed and said "Well you know about how I feel about the dark and I thought maybe I could sleep with you tonight… wait! Not like that I'm mean sleep over for the night"?

Zach was about to answer when he heard someone snickering to his left, he saw Nick hiding in the shadows next to the door just barely holding back laughter, he quickly winked at him and disappeared for good. Zach then said "Ya sure, of course you can stay over".

He opened the door completely and they both went to bed in each other's warmth.

K I know a little sappy and predictable but I tried my best, I'm kinda using Zach and Frost as a second chance for practice on developing romances. Alright as I said before I'm trying to get as many chapters in before the forth so if they are coming out really fast that's the reason.
