Enjoy the next chpt.

Time has passed the two souls grow and mature. The hatchling nears her death. While the boy learns the way of prince hood and feels the punctures of grief and pain near his soul. Until the pain facades and the soul dies.

The guards pulled opened the doors and there emerged Xellas carrying her newborn son. The ladies, lords, foreign kings and queens looked at the young boy. Xellas took her place on her throne and smiled at the crowd. The 5 main rulers of Chrona approached with their gifts. There was King Gaav of Tyran and he had gold for the new prince. Queens Dolphin of Lantis she brought fine jewels and silk. King Phibbrizo of Hades he had brought a golden box for only the boy to open. King Dynast of Zanarkand he brought rare weaponry. Finally there was King Philloniel the III of Saillune he had many ancient books and even some about the now extinct race the dragons. Xellas smiled.

"Thank you all for the precious gifts." Xellas smiled. King Philloniel approached the queen and prince and bowed.

"Your welcome, Xellas but it is a shame that your child was born on these dark days." He sighed. Xellas shook her head.

"Yes, the annihilation of the dragon race by some unknown force has brought a damper on our land Chrona. I pray there is no curse placed upon my son." Xellas sighed. King Dynast cleared his throat; everyone turned their attention to him.

"I do hope your son, will be safe. The unknown nemesis of the dragon race is still being investigated. However I have to make my leave now." Dynast stated and gave a small bow and went to the doors to exit. Xellas smiled and clutched onto her son closer. The boy opened his eyes and giggled. Gaav gasped.

"Amethyst!" he yelled. The boy giggled at the adult's reaction and stretched out its arm like trying to reach someone.

The small golden dragon walked around the cave. Sniffing around for more food to eat and maybe a wet spot on the cave wall to quench her thirst. The dragon saw a large rat scuttle by. She opened and clothed her mouth and pounced upon it. She missed and ended crashing her snout into the wall. The dragon sat down and rubbed her snout, still sniffing the area. The cave was big and contained many animals. The dragon sniffed and sniffed until she saw an anthill. The dragon snorted and contemplated the thought of eating insects that didn't smell like a food she should eat. Her stomach growled and she had now choice but to dive on the hill and eat every last bug. The dragon was still hungry when she liked the anthill clean. The dragon growled until she felt a presence or something nice inside like someone reaching towards her. She reached out her claw until from exhaustion and hunger she fainted in the dark.

Two tall figures engulfed in darkness stirred when they felt a tiny yet powerful ripple. "What was that?" he hissed. The figure looked over at him.

"A ripple on the astral plain, yet something more than that. But what?" he asked.

Hanya the prince nanny rushed through the hallway looking for the mischievous boy. "Where could he be?" she whispered. She passed the library and stopped in her tracks and backed up. She pushed open the great doors and to her relief saw her prince sitting in a chair in an indecent position reading a book. The boy looked over to her, even though his eyes were closed.

"Hello, Hanya. Looking for someone?" he asked. She growled and marched up to the prince.

"Were you here reading the whole time I was looking for you?" she questioned. The boy looked up at her and rested his book on his lap.

"Sore Wa Himitsu Desu." He chuckled as he wagged his finger in her face. Hanya shrugged.

"Well come on, your mother would like to speak to you. Are you reading about dragons again?" She asked. Xellos nodded. "Why are you so interested in dragons, especially the Golds. Lakes are my favourite for some reason." She piped. Xellos looked at her his eyes opened.

"To tell you the truth, I have no idea why I'm interested in them so much. They just interest me especially the Golds." He whispered as he opened the book and gazed upon a picture of golden dragon. Xellos eyes didn't leave the picture until he felt a sharp pain in his chest and found it hard to breath. He clutched his chest. Hanya ran up to him.

"My princes are you alright? Shall I call the doctor?" she asked. Xellos ginned at her.

"I'm fine I have a feeling theses pains I've been feeling will soon come to an end." He gasped. "Funny, I feel sad." He whispered.

The dragon stopped and took quick breaths. She had learned to take a different form so she could fit through the some cracks to hunt. She had soon discovered this new form had some old attributes like wings and a tail and her feet and hands were quite similar to her dragon form. Probably she did the transformation wrong. She also learned this body was hard to keep warm and she wrapped a warm material around her. For some strange reason her body had matured at alarming rate, yet soon stopped as her body was getting skinner until you could see bones from her skin. The dragon licked her lips, fantasizing about food and a way out of the darkness. She had eaten every living creature not to long ago. She was tired and she wanted to sleep and dream forever. She found an area big enough for her real form and she reverted back to it. The dragon closed her eyes and yawned until death placed its hand on her throat and took her away.
