Ebony Black
13 years later...Lina is at the monument dedicated to Dyne she is sitting on a rock singing(well wadya know) Jewel is picking flowers and placing them by dynes grave. Chris is down at Alex and Luna's house " have you seen Lina? I can't find her anywhere...(mumbles) we were supposed to go explore that new opening in the white dragon cave...no doubt she got impatient and left without me..." "No Chris, I'm sorry she's not here, why don't you try dynes monument...she did mention that she needed to clear her head so she's probably singing, why don't you go see" "Of course ^-^ ; boy do I feel stupid, I should have known" Chris walks up the hill to Dynes "resting" place. Lina turns around "oh...hi Chris, where have you been? I've been waiting patiently for some time now(yeah like five minutes will kill you) are we going exploring or what?" "Wha...you...I was looking all around Burg for you...I was starting to think that you left without me!!!!!!" "Well I was thinking about that...but then I realized it just wouldn't be the same without you trying to be the hero and get us out of the messes that you get us into..." sulks "Gee thanks...hey wadya mean TRY to be the hero!?" Luna looks out the window at her daughter "(sighs) everyday she gets to be more and more like her father...now it seems the only real way she's like me is when she sings...sometimes I worry about what happens in that cave when she explores..." A/N: Um......Okay that sorta didn't come out right...heh heh...Lina, Chris and Jewel head towards the white dragon cave "Okay Jewel, where did you say that opening was?" "Ummmmm...right there..." "Jewel! We can't fit through there!" "...you can't?" "No!!!! do I look like a baby dragon to you?" "Ummmm..." "Don't answer that...what are we gonna do?" "...um" "don't answer that...wait a brilliant idea!" "Yes..." "That's what we need, a brilliant idea..." "^-^; I have an idea..." "I said don't answer that!!!!!" "Calm down Lina...Alex gave me this ring...it creates fire soooo why don't I just melt the ice and make the opening bigger" A/N: eh heh..."melt the ice" didn't come out right either...sorry "...why didn't you tell me you had that earlier?" "I guess I sorta forgot heh heh heh" steam comes out of Lina's ears "(fuming) YOU FORGOT!? HOW COULD YOU FORGET!?" "Wow Chris! Have you ever seen Lina do that? Cause I sure haven't!!!!" Lina glares at Jewel "...^-^ ; okay, okay, okay, sheesh...don't have a cow...unless you want it well done...haaa get it cause ya know the steam on your head a-and your lookin pretty mad so I'll shut up now." "Shhhhh...I hear something" Lina and the others follow the sound deep into the cave and finally reach a clearing "hey what do you suppose that is?" " I-I think it's a dragon...like me..." Chris runs over to the winged black catlike creature "hey there little guy..." Looks up "...HI!!!!!! Oh finally someone has found me!!!!!!! I'm soooo happy!!!!!!!! do you have any idea how long I have been waiting for..." spots Jewel "wow...I've never seen another dragon in a long time but...you don't look like Ruby, Nall, or Teal...who are you?" "My name is Jewel...I part water dragon part star dragon, who are you..." "I'm Ebony...the black earth dragon..." the ground starts to shake... "we have got to get out of here!!!!" "Lina use the white dragon wings!" "I can't!!! they won't work!" "Here, let me try...(white dragon wings start to shine but nothing else really happens)...your gonna have to use the transportation spell!!!" Lina starts to sing and everyone is brought back to burg... "whew! That was close, I didn't think we would make it, what happened?" "I'm not sure, but I'm real glad my singing worked, I wasn't sure it would...is everyone okay?" "Yeah...I have this strange feeling that(gets cut off)" Jewel hugs Lina and kisses her feet "Lina!!!! you saved us!!!! thank you!" "Um sure anytime...what were you saying Chris?" "I think Ebony knows what happened back there and why..." "Not really, all I know is that I shouldn't have even been in the white dragon cave...I appeared there around thirteen or fourteen years ago..." "Hey Chris, isn't that...well when did you leave vane?" "About the same time...why?" "I have a feeling that if we asked her to, Royce might just consult her crystal ball..." (Incase you were wondering, Althena revived Royce and Phacia and now they're good people ^-^) "Are you crazy!? Lina, first off, after what just happened, why would your parents let us go all the way to Meribia...second, we'd have to go all the way to Meribia...third, if we use the white dragon wings, well...we already know they won't work!"
