Days passed and songs had been sung, great parties had been thrown with
dancing and laughter. Everyone across the land, wealthy rich poor and
middle class celebrated the passing of Dragon Stigmata. Drake and Geoff
however were made more into the legend they had been once before.
The next night, stars fell in silky rains. Near the fortress of the monastery, Mansel stood watching the evening sky while bidding the old priest, Martian Orodruin a safe farewell. Geoff approached Mansel with an added touch to his shoulder," I know who the second person was to be chosen during the passing of this last prophecy". Mansel turned to Geoff and grinned," really, what makes you say that?"". Yes. It was Drake. In order for Grace, the guardian of dragons, to save us all, she needed the heart of a dragon the most powerful live giving force of all. Which was his reassured love". " Exactually!", Mansel laughed giving Geoff a playful shove. " By the way?", Geoff asked," where is Drake?". Mansel looked toward Geoff gave a quoted frown then explained", he's bidding Grace farewell.". " Why!" Geoff asked a confused look overwhelming his boyish looks. Mansel studied the wind caressing small blades off grass near his feet,".Grace had to make a decision Geoff.She doesn't belong here you and I both know that and Drake himself made a solemn vow that he would help her get home". Geoff turned away from Mansel not saying a word but instead sought out Drake or needed time to think.
Somewhere along the coasts of the enchanted ocean, the waves of safire ran pale to the shore. The wind whispered gently carrying the faint echo of a tender melody sung by the voice of an angel filtering the air like a lavender scent moving across miles of waves and stars. Graces bare feet were washed by cool waves and she continued to sing her endless song. Over a short distance the faint shadow of a dragon appeared under the reflective moonlight. Grace turned to see the casted dragon shadow recognizing who it was. She seldomly ran toward it, the satin from her torn faded gown enveloped the breeze behind her and her wings were spanned out fully ready to take flight. Drake dived gently down from the night's sky toward her and as they drew near, Grace leaped from the ground hovering, flocking wings and shedding feathers toward Drake with open arms. Drake embraced her fall and glided down upon the soft tan sands.
The stars danced in Graces eyes as they searched Drakes deeply with soul touching mutiny. With one sweet kiss she touched Drake's cheek leaving a chilled feeling like frozen ice lapping his skin. Drake became shallow reddening the kiss believing that her kiss was a last kiss good-bye.when reopening his eyes he gently smiled toward her and reached his clawed hand forward slowly caressing her hair back away from her face. "I'll never forget you" Grace frowned. Drake could feel his heart breaking, splintering into mass pieces of shattering glass. He brought Grace in close to him, as if in a dream, a soft mist surrounded them. They embraced each other as if it were their last moment together. Drake felt a heavy lump develop deep in his throat, he could feel Grace compressed tightly against him and her arms locked around his neck, he could fell the hot burning tears from her spill onto his skin.
With a gentle shooken voice he whispered", you're in my heart Grace.". Grace gave one last look toward Drake and broke away, tears staining blue on her face as she looked away eyes downcast," and you in mine", she responded in a broken voice. After, she ran away from him never looking back until she was only a small silhouette on the edge of the shoreline. Drake broke into silent spasms watching her but never left the vacant spot he possessed. Grace stood by the cold waters and looked up at the night's sky. From the constellation Draco a shooting star fell, its tail gaped with scattering blue fire. Grace closed her eyes watching the star and made her last wish. When the star passed Drake watched with a heavy heart as the angel he loved was suddenly swarmed in a whirl of feathers and was suspended in midair. And with a flash of eerie coastal light, Grace disappeared with the whirl of feathers and was gone. The light wind carried a single feather sailing toward Drake. Drake captured the feather with one grasp and with a sullen whisper he cried out," farewell my sweet angel.". He then flew off back to the monastery.
The sun beamed down into Graces waking eyes. The essence of the morning mist chilled against her fair skin and she sat up from the lying position she was in, on the same lone hill where she made her first wish. Her head was spinning and throbbing with the worse migraine ever. She glared at the morning sun raising her arm to shield its gaze beaming toward her and looked around her surroundings. Everything seemed to be back to the way it was before. No knights, flying dragons, or magic of any sort. Placing her hand to her forehead, she was in delusional belief that any thing had happened to her at all, like it had only been a dream. However, it made such a dramatic impact on her life.it was then she realized that it was no dream! It was real. Quaintly she had been wearing the white gown she left in. Her face quoted several times, then reached up feeling something itching with in her hair as if caught in several knots.
Slowly she pulled the object that secured itself within all those curls. Holding the object just in front of her a smile graced her features and faded. It had been a white rose secretly placed within her hair when leaving Drake. For a long period of time, she stared at its pedals drooping with memory of joy, pain, sadness, and she missed all that she left behind. The silence and the light wind proved to be the only solitude and comfort but where soon broken off by a voices carried just behind her in the distance. Her friend Christopher came with a rescue team unleashing helicopters and vehicles. When they arrived, Grace was wrapped in blankets as detectives and officers asked questions and snapped pictures.
It had been several days after Grace left. Geoff sat with Drake on the very same lone hill. A long silence had been drawn between them. " I can't believe she's gone," Geoff said breaking the silence. Drake slowly closed his eyes shutting out the world around him. " It almost feels amiss with out her, she made a big impact when she was here and now that she's gone nothing will be quite the same anymore", Geoff continued. With a heavy sigh Drake turned to his friend," Geoff I really miss her.". " I miss her too Drake", Geoff frowned, his voice becoming silent," I miss her too.".
That night Grace sat near a small table looking over a lap top computer screen, checking her email. Her friend Christopher had been watching all her conscience movements and it was beginning to annoy her. He had been watching her ever since she returned. She was no longer Dressed in the white gown she arrived back home in but back in plain ordinary every day blue jeans and a black spaghetti strap top. However, she kept receiving very sharp pains with in her shoulders and lower back. Her wings wouldn't be able to hide for much longer and the pain was unbearable. Christopher peered ignorantly over her shoulder", Om.Grace? I'm really worried about you". " What's there to be worried about?" Grace asked mumbling. " Well all this is just to strange." Christopher explained", what I really mean to say is what happened to you Grace? According to my knowledge, you disappeared 10 months ago at the very same location you were found. You were dressed in well medieval get up and well its like you came from another world!".
" And you point being?" Grace asked slightly annoyed. " I'm just concerned about you Grace, you haven't been the same since you've returned and I'm just curious if every things alright?". Grace stopped typing her last message on the email and closed her eyes painfully receiving visions of Drake. " No!" Grace hollered and stood up from the table", every things not all right Chris". Grace pierced a pleading gaze into her friends eyes", I'm sorry Chris! But I miss him so much!". " Who?" Christopher asked quizzically. " I can't stay here! " Grace hollered moving away from the laptop computer," I have to see him again!". After she shoved Christopher out of the way and ran out of the hotel. Christopher tried to stop her but his efforts in doing so failed. It took Grace awhile to cross over the highways and hills of fields and forest to the clearing of the lone hill. When she got there, she climbed the hill her limbs burned and ached. Her throat and lungs were like fire and her breath sobbed clawing for a new surface to give her solitude and freedom. As she reached the top of the hill, she watched one last dieing star shoot across the sky and screeched out her final last wish.
Geoff and Drake were about to leave for the castle when they noticed a strange glow of light protruding from a thicket of bushes and vegetation at the bottom of the hill. They glared at it for a moment trying to decipher its being. A whirl of feathers fell about and finally the light at the bottom of the hill faded until there was only a small-silhouetted figure heading towards Geoff and Drake. Grace came exhausted and out of breath up the slope of the hill calling out", Geoff! Drake! Wait!". Both Geoff and Drakes eyes lit up as they peered towards Grace running towards them. While Grace proceeded towards them, she let her wings be hidden no more and sprouted them out fully from her shoulders. Cascades of feathers fell like the snow of winter's season caressing Geoff and Drake with their softness.
As she drew near she took one leap into the air spanning her wings out and glided falling into Geoff's catching arms and gave him a tight hug and was picked up whirled around and set back on the soft blades of summer grass. After she ran towards Drake who was fanning his wings out to greet her welcome. She placed her arms around his neck as far as they would stretch. Geoff Smiled shouting", Glad to have you back Grace!". Grace turned toward him flocking her feathery wings back and smiled sweetly at him, " Geoff you were always a white knight in shinning armor". Geoff smiled at the compliment then asked", Grace what made you change your mind about coming back?".
" I could never stand to be with out you two", Grace explained," I missed you so much that I had to come back". This is where I belong with you guys I made my choice and I chose to stay here!". Geoff smiled walking up to her and knelt down on one knee respectfully taking her hand and placed a kiss one the back of it. After he rose and respectively bowed to her and rose again with a joyful smile on his face", it's really good to have you back Grace". Grace responded with a similar smile towards Geoff and looked towards Drake briefly. Geoff winked at her, giving both her and Drake a moment.
With loneliness in Graces eyes, she shot a delicate glance over Drake. He smiled gently pacing to her and after rested himself in a sitting position on the soft earth. " There's one thing you told me Drake." Grace frowned," it was the only reason I came back.", the iris in her eyes faded into the deepest blue and like an orb faded again to sea green. " What is it Grace?" Drake spoke gently reaching towards her and very lightly caressed his clawed hand through all those bouncy curls. Grace grabbed his hand with both of hers holding it to her face and placed a tentative kiss on the back of it with her eyes mournfully closed her eyes. "," I love you Drake .I love you now and I'll love you forever and I always will .there's no goodbye.there's only love". After Grace leant towards Drake and bend forward and placed a soft kiss just above Drakes adoring nose. A Deepness of love shimmered in Drakes eyes and he placed them deep with in the eyes of his angel. With one wing, he brought her in close and gently kissed her forehead never letting go of her deep within his heart.
In the end, both had someone to be there for in joy, the pain, and sorrow. Forever there had always been an angel watching over Dragons. In addition, for Drake he always had an angel to kiss away the pain. Drake, Geoff, and Grace were known as much as a legend as time would slip away into the future.
However, in an endless distance in a history undefined a phenomenon so real brought two worlds together where one could only resemble the other. Two souls star crossed in love would always hold blessed light in and keep evil out from a million infestations of thousands of darkened hearts. Nothing could destroy their world and the only importance of life was proven that only in the end love was stronger than death.
The End.
