Chapter 8 – Fate
The group stepped outside the castle to look at the light that would soon engulf the entire city. A stream of light then appeared in front of them; the group stepped into the centre of the light and then realized that they were floating upwards. They eventually found themselves standing on a cloud that was happily holding their weight. There were many faeries fluttering around them observing there visitors. A tiny pink faerie then approached the group and said something in another language. No one understood what the little faerie had said, except for Jaelie who happily replied:
"Thank you"
The faerie then spoke again. Jaelie turned to look at her friends and realized that they had not understood a word the faerie had spoken, so she translated for them
"The faeries want to take us into the temple to meet their leader the faerie queen, do not worry it is perfectly safe"
They were now in the cloud temple awaiting the arrival of the faerie queen. The walls of the temple were lined with golden edging and had colorful gems all threw them. Many corridors leading to other rooms surrounded them. In front of them was a golden thrown fit for any queen, the throne too had gems threw it.
"Welcome my friends" said a voice.
The companions looked at the throne, the faerie queen was now sitting there, it was like she appeared out of thin air.
"I've been expecting you" said the faerie queen
"How did you know we were coming?" inquisited Neraka
"I have been watching you since you came to Sirrion" explained the faerie queen "We faeries can see everything from up here, now please, come this way"
The faerie queen directed them down one of the many corridors in the temple, this one however led to a tower that faced a gigantic cloud.
"Whoa! That cloud is huge!" exclaimed Neraka
"Is that the resting place of Fate the dragon of light?" inquired Ewan
"Indeed it is, go ahead princess Jaelie, wake your dragon as he is awaiting your call"
Jaelie stepped forward and the gem in her tiara began to glow. There was a slight ruffle in the huge cloud.
"Fate!" shouted Jaelie "I call you forth!"
A pair of giant silver wings erupted from the cloud and before they knew it, a shining dragon was circling the skies of Sirrion. The dragon flew over to the tower and hovered in front of it.
"I am Fate, guardian of Sirrion, dragon of light, why hast thou summoned me?"
"I am Jaelie, princess of Sirrion, the time has come to reclaim our city and help reclaim the rest of Avalonia."
"I sense your power in me princess, the city of Sirrion has been restored to its original state and its people freed from their labor" said Fate
"Jaelie" interrupted Kiara "Would he be able to take us to Kalamon?"
"I can only take you as far as the border of Sirrion goes" explained Fate
"Why can't you take us the full distance?" asked Toran
"My fellow dragons and I swore and oath never to cross into another dragons territory, and besides this is the Kalamon dragon we are talking about, he is well known for his surly attitude" said Fate
"Sounds just like Neraka" teased Siera
"We must make haste, jump onto my back, I will take you as far as I can" said Fate.
