Chapter 51-A Dragon's Mourning

Tamli staggers along Twilight Forest, his thoughts going back to the aftermath of his duel with Finca.


Now I take my prize! Finca growls as she drags her left fang across his back in the same spot where the Leviathan had once scared him.

Tamli screams as he fully feels the pain and the warm, sticky liquid that pours down his back.

Finca stop this please! He shouts before he loses consciousness.


Finca's mind is being controlled, I just know it! Tamli thinks to himself as he stops and closes his eyes, tears beginning to stream down his face.

Finca had taken Geer and fled after he had fallen unconscious.

I will find my former Guardian and save her and Geer, Tamli whispers to the rustling wind around him.

A sudden gust of wind startles him and Tamli open his eyes and draws his sword, Nigar, from its sheath at his waist. A white dragon lands and turns its yellow eyes to Tamli.

Have you seen Tronay, Tamli? She questions.

"I haven't and who are you?" Tamli asks.

Arasies and the reason that I asked is because she was been missing for quite sometime now, the white female answers.

Arasies? Tamli thinks. Haven't I heard that name before?

You don't remember me, do you? Arasies asks.

Tamli shakes his head 'no' and Arasies sighs.

I shall show you then, maybe that will bring back your memory of me, Arasies growls as her white scales light up like thousands of diamonds.

With a roar that seems to echo to the heavens above, Arasies bellows and her scales shoot out a massive torrent of closes his eyes, this reminds him too much of Finca. Arasies stops when she sees that Tamli has closed his eyes and sunken to the ground.

What's wrong? She questions Tamli.

A single tear spills out of his eye and rolls down his cheek. Arasies recoils as she realizes what might be going on.

She couldn't have! Finca, my older sister and twin to Felicia, couldn't have died! Arasies cries in alarm.

"It's true," Tamli mutters, his voice barely a whisper. "She is dead."

Arasies stares at Tamli in horror.

How did this happen? She asks.

"The wound she had . . . the strength she gave to Geer . . . her final promise to me," Tamli stammers as more tears flow down his face.

Arasies lifts her head and mourns her sister's death with a long and yet low melody. Tamli opens his eyes at her tune.

"How do you know that?" He asks.

Mother, Silver I mean, she taught it to us for in case one of us died. Felicia and Finca learned it back in Atlantis and now Silver has taught me, Arasies says quickly and then resumes her mournful tune.

Tamli stares at the white female.

Tronay has had three dragons: Uria, Jamie, and now Arasies. When will she stop and when will I regain mine? He thinks as he listens to Arasies' melody.
