Month of March, 2012 -Secret Diary #3
Months passed and it was now March. My belly was big, and because of it, I haven't been able to help Goliath or his clan whenever there is trouble in the city much to my frustration, but I knew it was for the safety of my baby, and Goliath has also been over protective of me which is sweet.
Also one month ago, we found out the gender of our baby. It's a boy, and we had a big baby shower in the tower. We had brought a crib for the egg, and it would rest there until it hatched. We also got lot a lot of plushies and toys, along with some clothes, thanks to our friends and family.
Also, I have been worried as 5 weeks ago, I got a call from my uncle telling me that my mom has disappeared. The last time she was seen, she was entering her house, and then after that, she was gone. I hope we can find her.
Also, Goliath and I had already decided the name of our baby, and we had chosen to call him Dagian which means dawn. Anyway, I was in the clock tower, watching tv. I constantly rubbed my belly as I knew I would lay my egg anytime soon. I then saw Goliath and the others enter the clock tower.
"Goliath.", I said with a smile as I stood up from the couch. "Sally.", Goliath said warmly with a purr, and he then kissed me.
"How is our little one doing?", Goliath asked with a smile. "He is doing fine.", I said with a soft chuckle. He then walked over to the couch, and I followed him. I laid my head on his lap as Goliath then started caressing my hair gently.
"Aren't you coming, Goliath?", Brooklyn asked quietly and curiously. "No. I've been looking forward to finishing this book for nights, and I would like to spend time with my mate." Goliath said with a slight shake of his head, and a warm glance at me as I purred lightly.
The others then took off, and Bronx came inside, looking sad. Morgan wasn't with us today as she had gone on a trip with a few of her friends. "Come here, Bronx.", I said with a smile. He came over, and I petted his head lovingly.
"Everything's okay.", I said, reassuring him. Bronx nuzzled against the couch with a happy look on his face. I then laid my head on Goliath's lap as he was reading, and he was also caressing my hair at the same time that he was reading.
Elisa then came inside the tower, and she had a worried look on her face. "What's wrong, Elisa?", Goliath asked in concern after we looked up. Elisa then told us about someone called the Guardian, and he was searching for Goliath.
"And he asked for you by name.", Elisa said with a pensive look. "I know of no "guardian.", Goliath said, blinking in surprise.
"Well, he seems to know you. We've got to find out what else he knows.", Elisa said with a nod. "Agreed.", Goliath said with a soft growl.
"But we cannot bring him here.", I said quietly in worry. "I can't bring you to him, so I'll just have to get him out of that cell. How about Belvedere Castle in an hour?" Elisa said with another nod.
"I'll be there.", Goliath said stoically as he stood up. Bronx barked, then whimpered as he stroked Goliath's leg. "Yes, this time, you can come.", Goliath said to Bronx, smiling with a pat on his head.
"I'll go with you too.", I said as I got up from the couch. "No, Sally, you can't.", Goliath said, looking worried and protective at the same time with a shake of his head.
"Goliath, I'm tired of being here, caged like if I was a prisoner! I want to help you, and don't worry, I will use my magic if anything bad happens.", I said with a growl and a raised eyebrow. "Alright, fine, you can come, but stay close to me.", Goliath said with a sigh, giving in. I then hugged him happily with a grateful kiss.
1 hour and we were already at the spot where we would meet this Guardian, and Goliath had his wings wrapped around me to protect me and our baby if anything bad happens.
"Goliath, I cannot believe it is you. Finally, here in the flesh. You know, the last time I saw you was the worst night of my life.", The Guardian said with a joyful smile. Bronx then walked forward, and started whimpering.
"Ah, good boy there.", The Guardian said warmly, smiling brightly as he's petting Bronx. "I do not know you.", Goliath said warily as he slightly narrowed his eyes.
"But I know you. I also know of Princess Katharine, the Magus and the gargoyle eggs." The Guardian said with a nod and a smile. I then felt Draven. He is honest. He's telling the truth. And he's good at heart. Draven mused thoughtfully with a bit of surprise.
"And who is this, Goliath?", The guardian asked with a smile and a bow before me. "This is my mate, Sally.", Goliath replied softly as he realized that the Guardian isn't doing harm.
"A pleasure to meet you.", The guardian said with a nod and a smile. I nodded back, smiling lightly. "Who are you?", Goliath asked in curiosity.
"Why, it's me, Tom. I was but a lad at Castle Wyvern the night that the Vikings destroyed your clan. But there's no time to explain now. We must go. The eggs are in danger." Tom said hastily, and our eyes widened in shock. Is he saying that the Wyvern clan's eggs survived?
"The eggs? You mean the gargoyle eggs?", Goliath asked in shock and amazement. "Of course. But come, we must get back before sunrise.", Tom said quickly as he placed his helmet back on, and he started to leave.
"Hey, get back here!", Elisa shouted in dismay, and then we followed him. We then saw him by a boat. "Where did that boat come from?", I asked in surprise.
"Please.", Tom said, gesturing to the boat with his hand, bowing slightly. "Who is this guy?", Elisa asked warily as she looked at Goliath.
"Tom was a friend to my clan, when friends were all too few. If this is actually Tom.", Goliath said with a thoughtful look. "Bronx seems to like him.", Elisa said with a curious look.
"Come, or the Archmage will destroy the eggs.", Tom said with a anxious frown. "The Archmage? But how? Very well, then. I will go with you.", Goliath said with a nod.
"Go where? The other side of the lake?", Elisa said as she rolled her eyes, then sighed lightly as she looked at me. I snorted, raised an eyebrow in retort. "Wait for us.", I called out as I and Elisa went to sit inside the boat.
"Sally, you can't come, our child!", Goliath said in worry, acting protective. "Child?", Tom asked in surprise and curiosity.
"I'm pregnant with Goliath's child, and one of these days, I'm going to lay the egg.", I said with a determined smile. "If she is pregnant, then she will have to stay inside the castle for her safety.", Tom said with a nod.
"The castle?", Goliath asked in surprise, and I then laid my head against him. Tom then started chanting a spell, and for some reason, I felt sleepy. I tried to keep my eyes open, but I couldn't.
I then closed my eyes, and then I found myself in a strange place. I saw people around me, placing their stuff in wagons, but when I took a closer look at the place, I realized that I was in Castle Wyvern!
Draven, what's happening here? I asked in surprise and worry. You are experiencing a flashback memory of the night Castle Wyvern was attacked. Draven replied in amazement.
I then saw who I assume is Princess Katharine, and also what looks like a young Tom, and to my shock, I saw a Gargoyle! He was helping the Princess place the Gargoyle eggs in the wagon.
Who is he? I asked as I took a long look at the Gargoyle. He has grey skin, and his loincloth is black while his hair is black. That's...Blaze's older brother. Draven said in awe, and I gasped in shock. Blaze's brother! So he did survive the massacre.
"Thanks, Colin.", Princess Katharine said with a grateful smile. "No problem, your majesty." Colin said with a nod as he placed another egg in the wagon.
"Are there any more?", Katherine asked, calling out loudly. "Your highness, this egg...it's going to hatch now.", I saw who I presume is the Magus holding an egg, and it's Blaze's adopted brother's egg!
"What?", Colin asked in surprise. "Place it on the wagon.", Katherine said hastily. Colin made some room for the egg as the Magus placed it there. Soon the egg hatched, and I could see a little green Gargoyle crying.
"Oh, my.", Katherine said in awe, then gasped as she saw that the little one is shivering. "Get a blanket!", Katherine said quickly. I saw Colin grab a blanket, and place it around the green Gargoyle.
"Shhhh, it's okay, I'm here, little one.", Colin cooed quietly, and then the green Gargoyle stopped crying. "It's cute.", Tom said with a look of amazement and curiosity.
"Magus, are there any more eggs left?", Katherine asked softly. "No. The egg that hatched, it was the last one.", The Magus said as he went over to pick up his book.
"The clan's eggs did survive.", I said in awe, smiling in relief. Goliath would be so happy to hear this. With bad, there is always good to balance it back to normal. Draven replied, sounding wisely happy.
"How many were there, Tom?", I saw a lady ask the little Tom. "36, plus the one that hatched, Mother.", Tom said with a grin.
"I wonder how many of them will survive the journey to your Uncle Kenneth's kingdom.", Tom's mother said, looking concerned. "All of them, Mary. I'll see to that." Katherine said, looking determined.
"Aye! We'll fight off any who would threaten these eggs.", Tom said with a firm nod and a fist in the air. "Come here, Tom. Kneel before me and swear. Do you solemnly swear on your life and your honor to protect these gargoyle eggs and the beings within them as long as you live?", Katherine said clearly and loudly.
"I swear.", Tom said with a solemn nod and a smile. "Arise, Tom, Guardian of the Eggs.", Katherine said, smiling warmly. "Come then, Guardian, our journey is a long one.", Mary said warmly to her son, and Tom then sat on the back of the wagon.
"Princess, can you hold my brother for a bit? I need to do something real quick.", Colin said quickly as he handed his little brother to Katherine, and I saw Colin fly up to where Goliath and his clan were posed and cursed until that fateful day I met them.
"Goodbye Uncle, I know we will see each other again.", Colin said with a smile and a nod, and I then saw the statue of Blaze next to Goliath. "And goodbye, Little Shadow as I will miss you dearly.", Colin said softly. A few tears fell down his face as he hugged the statue of his little brother, and he then flew down.
"Let's go.", Colin said with a nod. Katherine then handed him his little brother, and he sat in the back with Tom. And then everyone started leaving as my vision went black.
