" Drake I know this myself", Osric explained," she told me of her plans about killing you". Drake got infuriated and suddenly turned to Grace", is this true!". Grace shook her head tears welling up, her eyes like large pools of weeping sadness and her voice sinked drowning. " Why didn't you tell me you where an angel? And after all that's happened here", Drakes voice raised;" I thought I could trust you!". A hardened feeling pierced through Graces heart, enveloping it like a fist of ice. Geoff moved Drake aside looking Grace into the eyes for a moment then turned away whispering something to Drake that stood there betrayed and bewildered.



Geoff and Drake with many other people had seen Grace break into tears, then watched as she ran out of the court. Geoff and Drake watched Grace dash out of the castle shedding tears all over. Osric let out a bellowing laugh breaking the silence of the room. Then the spell he had cast over the entire land and people previously when he first arrived had worn off. Everyone now remembered who he was and remembered what happened the night of the two-tailed comet prophecy. They all new the truth and started throwing a panic once they realized Griffin was back. Drake suddenly glared at Osric with his teeth baring", now I know! You tried to deceive us all with your lies. Grace isn't the demon you are!" Drake prepared for a lethal attack. Then suddenly a frigid inferno fifty times colder than dry ice expelled toward Osric. Osric reacted quickly and ducked out of the way. The crowd had been thrown into great chaos as shrieking running and cries had been heard, breaking out in an entire panic. It was not long when people had fled from the castle. Truly, the night was ruined completely and as the hour struck midnight a heavy storm rolled in, flickering heavy bolts of lightening.



Later that night the rains continued to fall, like tears from heaven. At the monastery, Geoff and Drake sat by a warm fire in the old dungeon saying nothing to each other. They watched the flames slowly dance on hot coals that would crackle and pop flickering ashes from the spewing teeth of fire.









After a while of watching the flames, Drake set aside a book he was reading. " Geoff " he asked. " What is it Drake", Geoff answered frowning at the fire. " Do you believe that Grace could be the chosen one? Or might be what Griffin proclaimed her to be?". Geoff slowly met Drakes eyes", truly I am not sure. After all that has happened, anything is possible. Griffin came back from the dead that we do know. He put some kind of spell on us making us all forget about who he was and the last event that occurred with the last prophecy". Geoff sighed", If Grace was really out to hurt us she would have done so already, I know she was telling the truth Drake I could see it in her eyes tonight.before she disappeared.".



" Its fascinating to know that she's an angel but why did she hide her secret from us?" Geoff questioned chills running up and down his spine. Drake slowly shook his head but knew the answer completely. " I know why Geoff." Drake trailed off in a soft voice. Geoff gave Drake a look of puzzlement. " For a time she had been hiding her life secret she isn't from this era". " No?" Geoff asked. " Awhile back she told me that she was from the 21st century but somehow made it into the past, she clings to this past that doesn't chose. And when Osric revealed who and what she really was she felt isolated and insecure that's why she fled to get away from it all" Geoff sighed," it must be hard for her trying to blend in especially when she's so much different from what we are". Geoff and Drake became silent again staring into the fire.



Out of nowhere, Martian Orodruin appeared into the old dungeon. He broke the silence that Geoff and Drake held between them," I've heard the news about what happened tonight and you must understand that this angel is very important and she is very much like Drake". Geoff looked away from the fire shaking his head", we know all that but what do you mean Grace is so much like Drake?". Orodruin slowly proceeded to an old pile of steps and rested himself down on them. " You know nothing but the prophecy.what I'm about to tell you must not be spoken to any other". Drake and Geoff nodded. " Just as Drake is the last of his kind so is Grace, but she is no ordinary angel. She is what you would call a draconian angel. Her name in the tongue of dragons is pronounced Dekerada meaning guardian of all dragons. Thousands of years ago, there was a terrible evil before the birth of Christ. Many dragons had befriended man according to the old story that Draco told happened to be true. But when evil came, a terrible evil that could destroy life four ancient dragons of orient appeared".



Orodruin paused running his fingers through his long white beard," They created Dekerada from their tears and breathed life into her using half of their hearts, thus she was called the guardian of their race. After they plunged all their strengths into her by creating her, their bodies changed reshaping themselves and having their souls trapped in four gems. The Dragon-Stigmata prophecy had been predicted by the Chinese but until now no one has ever found the gems or spoke of the prophecy". The look on Geoff's face became pale", so, what happened?". " She's been asleep for a very long time but she was the one chosen to save the land". " Who is he other that is chosen?" Geoff asked. Orodruin soon left without saying a word. Mansel arrived standing their blankly looking at both Geoff and Drake. Geoff shook his head in disbelief as he paced in circles thinking about what Orodruin had just said.



Drake stood with an expression of worry on his face," Geoff we need to find Grace". " How she's nowhere to be found and who knows what's out there" Geoff said. Mansel spoke up", Geoff's right Drake the storm has gotten worse and who knows how dangerous it can be". " I don't care", Drake rasped", I need to find Grace no matter how great the danger is".









Geoff grew annoyed," why does it always have to be Grace!" he yelled startling Mansel. " She's been nothing but a pest ever since she came here! I mean sure she can save us all!" Geoff quoted rolling his eyes", but the world does not evolve around her. She's taken you away from me Drake and now it's beginning to ruin our friendship". Angered Drake rose his voice", the world doesn't evolve around Grace neither does it you Geoff or anyone else and she hasn't ruined our friendship your just to blind to see that". Speechless Geoff stood there as Drake passed him. " Then what is it Drake?" His voice in frustrated pain. " What is it huh? Why do you care so much about her!". Geoff swallowed the lump in his throat feeling Drake's heartache along with his own. Drake turned toward Geoff stared at him for a moment then left to find Grace.
