Chapter 6: The Dragon Kids
For about 100 years, I wandered aimlessly around Lunar in my dragon form. I had no reason to be in my human form. I saw many beautiful landscapes, but it wasn't the same without Alex. I kept my box in my hands the whole time. However, the box was tearing and I needed somewhere to put it, not to mention, somewhere to live. My feathers was ragged from the elements I constantly flew in. I don't remember when Ramus died. I couldn't stand to think about it though. After Alex and Luna died, I couldn't stand to watch another friend die. One day during the winter, while I was flying, I spotted Taben's Grindery. I decided to perch there. My wings were tired from the snow that laid on them. For the first time in 100 years, I turned into my human form. I went inside and looked around. I decided to stay here, even though it was a rusty junk heap. But, I didn't think it deserve the name Taben's "Grindery" since it doesn't grind things. So I asked what the people of Vane called it and they said "Taben's Peak". Only I knew it's true name and what it's true purpose once was. I bought some furniture and went back to fix it up a bit. I made myself a room at the very top floor and put my pictures in frames on the dressers I bought. But, there were so many other rooms, I didn't know what to do with them. That was until one day that spring, while I was flying around to get my mind off of life, I spotted something being attacked by several Mutant Flies. When I swooped down to see what it was, I saw that it was a little girl. She looked about 10 and had long green hair, furry elf ears, and a horn on her forehead. That was a dead give away that she was a beastperson. So, I landed and shot a beam of light at the flies, destroying them immediately. I picked the girl up gently with my mouth, making sure I didn't bite her, and flew back to Taben's Peak. I put her on a bed in my room and turned into my human form so I wouldn't frighten her. I was fixing her some fish when she woke up.
"Where am I?" she mumbled.
I looked over my shoulder at her and smiled. She whimpered and recoiled as I walked over to her.
"Hello," I said sweetly, "you don't have to be afraid."
She watched me suspiciously as I sat the fish infront of her.
"My name's Nall, what's yours?"
"Madaline..." she said quietly, staring at the fish.
"Are you okay? Why were those monsters attacking you?"
Madaline shrugged but then, she blinked and looked at me surprised.
"You saved me?"
"Yep! Where are your parents? I'll take you home," I said cheerfully.
I haven't spoken to a person for a while now. I was happy to be speaking to the girl named Madaline, whether she was happy to be speaking to me or not.
"I...don't have any parents...or a home..." she said, "I've been lively by myself for 3 years now."
I blinked and looked at the girl as she sadly took a bite of food. I sighed sadly, knowing exactly how she felt.
"I know how you feel."
"You do?"
"Yeah...so you know what, you can stay here with me!"
Madaline's eyes lit up with a cheerful light, like I haven't seen since Alex and Luna were young. It made me happy to know that I made someone else happy.
"Really! You'll let me stay with you! I promise I won't be much trouble!"
I laughed. I hadn't laughed or smiled in awhile without getting sad again.
"Don't worry 'bout it! I like trouble!"
Madaline giggled and gave me a hug. A hug was something I haven't felt for hundreds of years.
"You can be like my little sister. I'll always protect you."
"Thanks...Can I call you big brother?"
"Sure! Now you should finish eating. Fish is the best cure for everything!"
So, I took her shopping for decorations and furniture for her room, which was right beside mine. The Grindery can be a scary place at night. Then we brought furniture for the room we were going to use for the kitchen and dining room. As the years went by, while I was flying, keeping lookout instead of trying to keep my mind off of the death of my friends, one out of ten times I found another little orphaned kid. By the time Madaline was 13, Taben's Peak became like an orphanage and we had about 15 kids with us. I considered them my little brothers and sisters whether they thought of me as their big brother or not. Some thought of me as their father, some girls wanted me to marry them when they got older, some saw me as their guardian angel, and others saw me as a master swordsman. Most of the time, I was their big brother though because I let them do whatever they wanted. Also, I didn't turn into a dragon unless I was going flying so I didn't scare the kids. But, one day, Taben's Peak was attacked by all of these monsters. I guess they were the descendants of the ones that used to live her when this was Taben's Grindery and they wanted the territory back. They were about to hurt the kids so I did what I had to do. I turned into a dragon.
"Don't you touch these kids!!" I roared.
I unleashed a massive blast of energy on the monsters, destroying them all in one blast. I changed back and looked at the kids. They were staring at me. I coughed.
"Okay...I'm a dragon...but that doesn't mean I'm dangerous! Okay?"
They remained quiet, their mouths still open in surprise. I sighed.
'Great, now they're gonna be afraid of me.' I thought.
"That is SO cool!!" Paul said.
Everyone began to crowd around me, asking me questions. I let out a breath of relief and started answering them. I told them about how I was the dragon that helped Dragonmaster Alex, Kyle of Nanza, Althena's priestess-in-training Jessica, Mia Leader of Vane, and Junior Premier Nash save Althena from the corrupted and confused Magic Emperor Ghaleon and how they were my bestest friends. I told them about how I've been alive for hundreds of years and that just sprung up more questions. It was fun. They suggested that they called themselves the Dragon Kids since I was a dragon and the one that found them. I had to tell them to keep my dragon form a secret from any new members so it could be something special that the original ten members and I could have. I missed the vivacious energy of children around me and it felt good to be with them. With the kids, I planted trees all around the outside of Taben's Peak so it looked more like a tree house than an evil castle. We played around, planted booby-traps at the bottom of our home so we didn't get any unwanted visitors, mugged passerbyers, and spied on the people of Vane and Meribia. But, when they had gotten old enough to leave, I had to let them go. The first one to go, was Madaline. She was 20 years old, and started to look older than me. So I brought her into my room to talk to her.
"Listen Madaline...you have to go," I said.
"What? Why Big Bro?"
"You have to go live your life. But don't worry! You can visit us any time and if anything should happen to you, I'll gladly take care of your children."
She nodded and turned to leave. But then, she ran over to me and kissed me on my cheek.
"Thank you for everything...Nall."
She blushed as she looked at me for a while, then slowly made her way out. I scratched my head, bewildered, and just watched her leave. I sighed and smiled. It was easier to watch someone walk out, knowing they are going to live a happy life than it was to watch someone die, I can tell you that right now! Everyday, for hundreds of years, I patrolled the world of Lunar, looking for orphaned little boys and girls so I could help them not be lonely like I was. I've watched all of the Dragon Kids grow up, leave, and bring in their children when they wanted me to watch them or when something was about to happen to them. Over the years, I became more and more playful and mischievous like I used to be. At first, I was burying my emotions with happiness and a smile 'cause I had people to worry about me. Infront of the kids, I was a joyful, rougish boy that happily took them on adventures, raiding the neighboring towns (especially Meribia, it had more things to take), and scaring people. But when I was alone, I was a deeply depressed and jaded old man, trying to remember the days when I was truely young. However, the longer I hung with the Dragon Kids, the more didn't miss Alex, Luna, Ramus, Kyle, Jessica, Nash, and Mia as much as I used to. I gave a lot of my pictures away to the children when they left, especially when they had admired one of them like Alex or Luna. Of course, I kept some of them, but they got buried away and I couldn't find them. But then again, I didn't really need them anymore because if I was trying to forget them, I couldn't possibly have the pictures everywhere. Soon, I completely forgot about them and my life was completely dedicated to the Dragon Kids.
To Be Continued in "Thoughts"...
Note: Yes...this was Nall's memories...the sequel to it, "Thoughts" will be his thoughts during Lunar 2: Eternal Blue. 'Kay? Now, I would like to give a special thanks to all of my reviewers (except that Lucky Stripe...) for sticking with my story. Now you witness the first story I have ever finished! Thank You So VERY MUCH!! *bows*
