Chapter 7: The Dragon's Nest

"Yawn...Shana; did we really have to get up THAT early?" Dart complained, looking at her.

Turning Shana glared at Dart. "You should be happy! I mean, what happens if we don't catch up with Lavitz, Anya and Naomi?" she said practically screaming.

Rose stared at the two bickering and began walking into the entrance of the forest. 'Don't they learn?' she thought. "If you two want to find your friends and beat the Dragon, I suggest you hurry up!" she shouted behind her at the two.

Dart and Shana ran to catch up with Rose as they entered the Dragon's Nest.



"Lavitz, you can put me down now..." Anya whispered into his ear. She landed softly onto the soil and moved beside him, walking at the same speed. He glanced at her with a slightly worried look. "I'm fine...they just scared me till I'm in shock..." she smiled at him.

Blushing he turned his head to the front of him. "Sorry..." he mumbled.

Setria and Lodis stared at the two in amusement, laughing lightly Lodis put a hand to his head. "That guy does not know how to express his feelings to that girl!" he whispered to his traveling companion.

Setria shoved Lodis's shoulder, sending him tripping over a root in the ground. "Shut-up! Knights are kinda slow at love! Just leave em' alone!" she stated walking in front of him to talk to Naomi.

"Girls..." Lodis mumbled out of earshot.



Dart, Shana and Rose had finally made inside the Nest. The stream flowing beside them, smelt like rotten fish and the air toxic and Shana did not like it.

"Eww...its smells..." she mumbled as she plugged her nose. Getting a bit dizzy Shana knelt on the ground.

"Are you ok?" Dart asked worried.

"Yeah! I'm fine! I just need to rest!" with that said Shana ran off over to the top left path. Dart and Rose followed straight after her.



Naomi smelt the air as they walked into the entrance of the Nest. "Argh! What's that smell! It's disgusting!" she whined covering her mouth and nose with a hand.

Setria walked to the stream and examined it. "This stream is poisoned...this is the Dragon's doing..." she stated.

Lowering his gaze, Lavitz closed his eyes. "I...I don't know if I should go in..." he finally said opening his eyes. Anya cast a sad glance at him and then looked to Lodis and Setria, who were very confused.

"Okay, it's like this...we got attacked by a serpent dragon...i hit him in the head and it was about to hurt me until Lavitz got in the way...The dragon cast a curse that was meant for me...but Lavitz has this curse instead." She took a deep breath.

"When in contact with a dragon or dragoon, the burn with grow bigger...then kill the person infected. That's why he's kinda hesitant to go in..." she said staring at Naomi then at the jewel around her neck.

Naomi held the stone in her hand and showed it to Lodis and Setria. "This is the dragon spirit of that Serpent Dragon. It chose me...because it wants to see Lavitz die."

Lodis and Setria exchanged glances and then looked back to the three. "I think we should still go in! I mean, who knows what this Dragon can do!" Lodis proclaimed raising his arms.

"I think I have to agree with him guys...we have to destroy it no matter what the causes, I mean it's only one dragon...right?" Setria said.

Looking at the two new travelers, Lavitz nodded his head in agreement. He walked up to the stream and looked into the water. "Their right...we have to take care of the dragon first..." he murmured to himself.

Seeing how Lavitz was thinking things over, Anya walked to the top left path to see what was there, Lodis followed while Naomi and Setria waited with Lavitz. She walked to the tree in front of her and put a hand on it.

"It's dying..." she mumbled.

"I'm okay now Dart!" a voice giggled.

Anya's eyes widened as she looked to where the voice came from. 'It can't be? Is that Shana!' she thought as she ran to where they were. Lodis followed trying to keep up.

"Shana!" Anya exclaimed hugging the girl with brown hair. "I can't believe we actually found you!" she giggled.

Shana's eyes widened as she looked at Anya. "You're here!! Where are Naomi and Lavitz! Are they here too!" she asked holding the happy girl's shoulders.

"Of course! OH! And Dart, we have more company!" Anya giggled running back, passing Lodis on the way.

"Anya! What the heck are you doing! Man, she's hyper all of a sudden!" he exclaimed, but looked to the group behind him and ran a way.

Dart, Shana and Rose followed the boy back to the entrance.



'LAVITZ! LAVITZ!!!" Anya shouted jumping on him and hugging him from behind. "Their here! We found them!" she giggled.

"What? Who's here? Dart?" he asked.

"DUH! See!" she said as she pointed to Drat and co. Lavitz looked to the other group and smiled slightly, he had still punched Dart...lets hope he had forgiven Lavitz.

"Lavitz..." Dart whispered.

Naomi saw Dart and hid behind Lodis and Anya. "HIDE ME!!" she shouted, getting a small glance from Dart.

"Uh...Dart, what I did back in Hoax...I'm..." Lavitz started, but Dart cut him off. "Lavitz, you don't need to apologize...it's my fault, I stopped you from trying to bring them back...sorry."

Lavitz smiled again clapped Dart over the back. "That okay, man I missed ya. Being around two girls isn't fun."

"WHAT!!!!!" Naomi screamed running up to him and poking his nose. "You mean, you had no fun at all!!! You turkey!" she screamed again and flicked him in the face. "Don't forget, I have that spirit who wants you dead, remember..." she gave him a sly look.

Lavitz's eyes widened as he gave her a worried look. "You wouldn't..."he said glaring at her playfully.

"Who said I won't...? I just might...Power of the Serpent Dragoon!" she shouted.

"ACK! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!!!" he yelled covering her mouth, trying to stop her from transforming into a dragoon.

'Mehehe...I'm evil.' She looked at him and smiled. "I didn't change though...you're mean!!" she giggled running off behind Lodis again.

"Mean my foot! You...don't ever do that again!" he huffed glaring at Naomi's happy form.

Dart looked at Lavitz and noticed a burn mark on the back of his green tunic. "Uhhh, Lavitz? Did you fry in the Villude or something?" he asked pointing to Lavitz's back.

Looking at Dart, then at the ground. "Uh...no, we had a little problem on the way here...Anya can you explain?" he asked.

Walking up to the three she explained what had happened as they left Hoax, about how they found a Serpent Dragon, and how Lavitz got cursed. And also meeting Lodis and Setria.

Dart looked at Lavitz as Anya finished. "You okay? I mean...you haven't seen any dragon's since then, right?" he asked worried.

He nodded. "Let's go...we have to destroy it..." he walked off in the direction of the smell.

Rose stared at him and then followed, Shana and Dart got acquainted to Lodis and Setria, and Dart forgave Naomi...finally...and the group was off...again.



The new group of 8 people set off in search of the dragon. Each passing of the trees and stream, the stench got worse and that meant they were getting closer to the dragon.

"Hey, think we can cross this Dart?" Naomi asked pointing to the webbed floor, concealing a hole.

"Maybe...who wants to try?" he offered.

"ME! ME!!" Setria announced, throwing her hand up into the air. "I will!" she ran to the web and walked onto it, making it break and let her drop. "WHEE!!" she giggled, her voice becoming an echo.

Lodis slapped his forehead, and sighed. "She meant to do that..." he mumbled jumping down the rocky edge.

Noticing a slippery path beside the spot where Lodis had jumped, Anya walked toward it and sat down on her behind. "Who wants to come with me?" she asked the others, smiling.

Everyone shook their heads. "Awww...Lavitz? Please?" she begged batting her eyes at him.

Rolling his eyes he sat down beside her and glance at Dart, who was snickering a bit until Shana shut him up. Anya saw this as her chance to hop onto his lap and pushed her hands on the ground to make them move. Lavitz was too late to stop her.

"WAHOO!!!" she shouted lifting her hands into the air and giggling like a four year old. Lavitz on the other hand was yelling his heart out in a freaked out version. "AHHHHHHH!!!!"

Shana looked at Dart and smiled a devilish smile. "Please Dart?" she asked trying the same move Anya did.

Backing up Dart put his hands up. "Nuh-uh! I think I'll jump instead!" she grinned scared as he jumped into the blackness.

"Phooey...Naomi?" she asked glancing at the other one left. "You wanna try?" "DUH!!" she giggled sitting down beside Shana and both girls took off at the same time. "WEEE!!!!" they both screamed all the way down.

Waiting at the bottom was Setria, Anya, Lavitz, Lodis, Dart and Rose who had jumped as well. Shana and Naomi came into view as they skidded to a stop right in front of Dart. "Hi!" they said in unison.

"You're both insane..." he said.

Lavitz smiled at the three arguing and looked at the long path. "Great...more obstacles." Anya giggled at his low slow voice and skipped to a mushroom looking thingy.

Poking it, she jumped back surprised. "WHA! Hey, I found a way guys!" she shouted.

Naomi and Setria walked over and began poking all the others. "Now, I think we can make it to the Dragon!" Naomi announced.

They headed in the direction, Rose had pointed too. "This way, I can smell it."



They ran into a small crystallized clearing, where they were looking at a shilotte in the light. Dart squinted his eyes at the person on top a rock. 'Who's he...?' he thought.

"Who's there?" the voice said booming.

Lavitz's face paled as the voice reached his ears, his eyes widened as well. 'It's can't be...' he thought as he ran forward, not knowing what he was doing.

"Lavitz! Wait up!" Naomi hollered running after him. The others followed suit.

"Lavitz? Is it really you boy?" the vice mocked as Lavitz came into view of the person in the shadows.

Lavitz gritted his teeth in anger while staring heatedly at the man in front of him. "GREHAM!" he shouted, sending a echo threw the cave.

Showing an evil grin Greham landed on the ground just feet away from Lavitz, the son of him. "You've grown up boy...since I last saw you." He looked Lavitz over and smiled. "Just like Servi..."he mumbled.

Lavitz had enough at staring at this man and charged at him, but missed. "DON"T EVER speak my father's name again!" he yelled angrily. Anya saw the man Lavitz had tried attacking and looked to the shadows behind him noticing a piercing red gleam of eyes.

"Lavitz move away from there!" she shouted pulling on his arm and back to the others. "The dragon...it's over there! You need to stay hidden..." she said tears welling up in her eyes.

Lavitz looked at her then at the others then back at her again. "I can't...i can't run from a man who betrayed and killed my father...who cares about that curse!" he exclaimed, his eyes showing sad emotion from the past.

"Lavitz..." Anya looked to the ground and clenched her fists. "I won't allow you to fight this man, not even for family revenge!" she looked at him with a glow in her eyes.

"What? Anya?" he stared at her in shock as she moved forward to touch him. "You alright? What's the matter with you?" he backed towards the others, who were staring at her as well.

Greham watched the scene with the possessed girl advancing on Lavitz and grinned. "You want a fight? Come out, Power of the Jade Dragoon!" he hollered a green light emerging from his body.

Anya snapped back into reality and turned around. "NO! Lavitz get away!" she cried, but too late. Lavitz was already holding the sides of his arms in pain as the burn grew. Naomi ran over and pulled him behind the wall, so he was no where to be seen by Greham or the Dragon.

"Ahhh..." he clenched his teeth to stop the pain, but no use it just kept coming like massive sharp needles down his spine. Naomi held up her dragoon spirit which was glowing brightly, and stared in awe.

"Please Serpent dragon...please don't hurt him any longer!" she cried as Anya ran over with Shana behind her. Rose, Dart and Lodis were fighting Greham and his dragon...Freybrand.

"Lavitz! Come on, you can fight it!" Anya pleaded. Shana knelt down beside him and touched his arm. A surge of energy left him and shocked Shana lightly. "Ah!" she cried holding her hand.

"Lavitz...I'm sorry..." Naomi said getting up and trading places with Lodis. Anya looked at her in disbelief; she was going to turn Dragoon. "Naomi! YOU CAN'T!" she cried.

Too late. A powerful tsunami twirled around her creating light and magic combined. She emerged with an Armor made of Blue Sapphire, her arms had swirling straps running all the ways up, and her dress flowed like water as she landed. She stared at Greham and attacked quickly sending him flying into the wall, as for the Dragon she used her magic. Spreading her arms apart and closing her eyes, a tsunami emerged from the rock creating a tornado.

"Devastation!" she cried destroying the Dragon.
