Chapter 3: Unsuspected guests

Sleep, sleep is bliss. It's one of the great things about being a dragon incarnate, with A in my mind I could have him using my nature abilities to heal me as I slept. He would use my powers as a medium to heal me. He also used his influence to also block out the dreams, honestly the dreams were the worst part of the job. Sometimes you get great insight I will give you that, but at the same time it can bring a lot of worry and stress with it as well. Which honestly, I didn't need, I already had a crazy man dragon after me I didn't need even more put on me. There is a danger to knowing the future and it is something people should carefully step around.

When morning came I sensed it, the transition from night to day, and immediately woke, as the son of Artemis I could sense the time difference a small perk to the being the son of a goddess I suppose. The first thing I did was texted Ember telling her I was safe, that I had gotten to a hotel with the car I had gotten from the rental place, she definatly didn't need to know about my scaly new friend I had met. Once I got a crazy response back about how worried she was she told me that she was glad I was safe. And lucky when I promised Ember on the river of Styx I never specified specifically when I would contact her, she had me promise to call her at a specific time, but I never repeated the promise when I swore on the Styx all I did was promise I never specified that promise.

When I got out of my bed I popped my back, and narrowed my eyes, as my first instinct was to walk to the window and check if the Dragon from the car rental place was out there, and that's exactly what I did I practically ran to the window and moved the curtains, and luckily the car was still there, and no random dragon to be seen, however I did hear a knock on the door. I walked to the door and looked out the small peep hole. And looking through the whole I saw two people in white and black checkered cloaks.

'Well shit.' I thought to myself. 'Come on can't I catch a break?'

'Kid, when do you ever get a break?' A asked.

'Good point.' I thought back focusing back on the two out of my front door.

'Well if I'm going to go out I'm going out fighting these fuckers.' I thought to myself as, I summoned my orbs.

I quietly walked to the door making sure not to make a single noise, I focused the orbs to surround the top of my head and formed them into daggers. I also clicked my ring and out appeared my sword in my shield. I pulled my sword from my shield and with a finger I flicked the lock to unlock on my door.

As I unlocked the door one of the two opened the door and as soon as they entered I tackled them sword in hand my shield just under my sword. And my orbs floating pointed at the second figure.

"Who the hell are the two of you?!" I asked my voice cold. Still not even looking at the face that was slightly hidden under the cloaked hood.

The person's hands twitched and was about to move, but I stuck the sword closer to their neck threatening to slit their throat should they move again.

"Move one more inch and your head gets removed." I said with no emotion, I hated killing anyone even the dragons, but if it meant survival it had to be done.

"My lord." The other figure, with a masculine voice said. Having not yet moved due to who the black daggers continued moving in a circular motion. "Please we come in peace we were asked by your mother, Jewel."

"The dragon queen is in a coma, now I ask again whom are you both? And what is it you both want? She is not my mother my mother is elsewhere. Now quit playing games." I asked again gripping my sword tighter in my hand.

"My prince, please allow me to remove my hood please I swear on the River of Styx not to cause you any harm." The person under me said, the with a soft and feminine voice. She also gave off a scent of strawberries which was odd for a potential enemy, but then again you never know.

I looked at what I assumed to be a girl and I gave a slight tilt in agreement to let her remove her hood, but I made it known that if she had any intention of something funny I would make her regret it.

Her well-manicured hands slowly went up to remove her hood all the while the person to my left still had yet to even move an inch. When the woman removed her hood, I was met with a woman with pink hair that would at least reach down to her hip, her eyes were an emerald slited reptilian green, and had a small nose, with two pointed ears. She was pretty, but no were near Ember's level, but that was most likely due to the mating mark that had taken place.

I then looked over to the other person, whom I assumed was male, as he was most likely a foot or two taller then the woman, and seemed to be a bigger build as well.

"Remove your hood as well, slowly." I said cautiously.

The man nodded. "As you wish my prince."

The man removed his hood and I was met with a man with silver whitish hair, he had slited reptilian grayish eyes and seemed to have a very calm look, he had slight facial hair and looked to be very intelligent. And with the aura the two were emitting I could sense both very calm, he had a grayish aura while the woman, was giving off a strawberry pink color.

"May we now have a civil conversation my prince. I understand the caution, but we do not have much time as there might be others on their way." The man stated with a slight bow, keeping eyes on the daggers that were around him.

"And how do I know you both aren't here to take me to Ginarth." I asked narrowing my slited sliver blue eyes, the squares around my eyes swirling, Ice coated vines covering the walls, along with blue lines now appearing on my body.

"Because my lord if we wanted we would've taken you last night as you were healing." The woman said still seemingly calm as I pushed the blade slightly closer almost piercing the skin. "We understand your frustration my lord, but please you can trust us. If you could please allow me to reach into my pocket I can prove we are here to help." The woman said.

I narrowed my eyes down at her. "Hmmm, very well, but anything funny your dead." I said seriously my eyes growing cold and ice on the vines starting to get even cooler started.

"That is fair my lord." She said in a kind voice.

She then slowly reached in her pocket, and what she pulled out was not even close to what I was expecting in fact when I first saw it my eyes gained a slight watery glint. It the item was something my adoptive father had given to my adoptive mother mother apparently on their wedding night, it was a locket, it was amazing, as if hand crafted by the god Hephaestus himself, it was a locket the outside a magnificent emerald owl, the inside was an image of myself as a kid with my family in a portrait with all of us.

I immediately dug the sword into her a bit, but she didn't flinch as if expecting the reaction. Drawing some blood.

"Where is my mother?" I asked dangerously the blades that were around the man also going in closer, but he barley even reacted to the movement.

"My lord she is fine in fact she is anxious for you. Please let us take you to her." The woman said gently her eyes softening.

I loosened my grip and my orbs wobbling slightly. The woman slowly reached up my tears slightly blocking my view making it hard for me to keep focus. But my focused started to break when her hands started to caress my cheeks.

"Shhh,"she whispered. "We can't imagine what you have been through, but you have nothing to worry now we are here to return you to your family. I promise. Please allow us to take you home."

Home, home was a warm place next to a fire with a hot cup of chocolate, and a slice of my mother's home-made apple pie, a conversation with my dad. Ember wrapped up in my arms, and Percy and his mother coming and visiting for their annual visiting. That, that was home. I haven't known home since my mother's and father's supposed death. Since their happening I had felt empty, Ember, Percy, Annabeth, Grover and all my other friends at Camp had helped me in some way fill it but it had never fully filled. But seeing the genuine care and carefulness from this woman I believed, no I knew she could bring it back. Home.

I dropped my sword and shield, and my three orbs fell returning to orbs and returning to my pocket. The ice turning to mist on the vines which retracted back into the ground.

"A Thirteen-year-old Lawrence, he shouldn't be going through all of this." The woman said as she held tightly onto me.

The man named Lawrence nodded, not really showing much emotion, but I could tell the man was sorry for me. I hated it. I hated the feeling of helplessness and looking weak.

Wiping my tears standing and facing away from her I laughed. I pointed my thumb up.

"I may be thirteen, but I can handle it. I'm strong. Just like my mother, my adoptive father, and my adoptive mother, not to mention the fact I have a dragon's soul. I can do this." I said turning back towards the woman a smile now on my face.

She smiled gently the wound on her neck sealing shut as if it were never there in the first place. "I suppose so my young prince."

She turned toward Lawrence, and he nodded to her.

"My prince, if we may, lady Akasha and I were tasked to lead you to the Hazelphron Inn." Lawrence said.

I nodded my head. "I will have to warn you both though, some dragon was after me yesterday. He was some fire dragon, nothing like a lava dragon, something more dangerous."

"If that is true my young prince, then it is best we do take off quickly then." Lawrence said looking behind him scouting outside. "Yes, we must be off quickly. You have only five minutes go grab a snack from down stairs and pack. I believe you arrived in the silver Charger correct?"

"Yes." I said as I handed him the keys.

He nodded his head. "Lady Akasha, I expect you to help him get ready I need to check the Charger." He said swiftly walking quickly to the car.

She sighed," That man has no sense of nurture."

I chuckled. "Its fine can you help me pack?" I asked as I put my sword in the back of my shield and pressed a button on it reverting it back into a ring.

She let out a melodic giggle. "Oh, I suppose so."

After a couple of minutes of packing a bit of ruined clothes I had changed out of the night before, we heard a yell.

"Lady Akasha quickly grab the prince and get down here! Now!" Lawrence shouted in alarm.

Akasha with amazing strength and within a second, we were at the car. She shoved me in and Lawrence and her both took the front seats and we were off in a second.

"What's wrong?" Akasha and I both asked in alarm.

Lawrence looked at Akasha and as if some message passed between the two and she nodded her head, shock written on her face.

"Blake that dragon you mention about yesterday is a special dragon, a bounty hunter of sorts, trained in the ways of hunting and tracking their targets, very good at their jobs." Akasha said seriously, her nurturing nature replaced by a very serious person which just seemed really foreign for her.

The image of the guy from yesterday entered my mind. The man looked nothing like a tracking type of person, maybe the best beer drinker, but nothing like that.

"But how do you know that?" I asked.

"Because there is only one dragon that matches that description and it is one of Ginarth's greatest hunters. The unnatural strength of his flames, his ability of hiding his presence, it all points to that very same one. Ginarth has sent out his best of the best to find you my young prince. The man's name is Abigor, a very strong sun dragon, he pulls power from the sun much like your Sun god Apollo." Lawrence said looking in the rearview mirror, as he drove at breakneck speeds.

Wow I hadn't read about any sun dragons yet. Thinking of which I hadn't even asked what type of dragons these two were.

"Um Lawrence, Akasha, may I ask what type of dragons are the two of you?" I asked.

They both looked at each other, then Lawrence nodded.

Akasha smiled and looked at me from the front seat. "Well you see Blake the two of us are royal guards sent by your mother of course, I am a blood dragon. And Lawrence here is a Wisdom dragon, and pretty boring to boot."

"And this very boring dragon has saved your life numerous times to boot." Lawrence said looking at Akasha with a somewhat amused looked in his eyes.

Akasha pouted and stuck out her tongue. "Whatever details."

I laughed at the two bickering. "Wow that's really cool. I can understand what a wisdom dragon is I mean it's quite self-explanatory, but what is a blood dragon?" I asked curiously.

Akasha giggled while Lawrence grumbled slightly.

"I am sure your book can explain, way better than I ever could my young prince." Akasha said still in a giggling fit.

"The two of you keep mentioning my mother has sent the two of you, but I know of only two. My adoptive mother which is completely mortal, and my immortal mother Artemis. So I am confused. I have no other mother." I said looking at the two confused.

"We mentioned earlier that we were sent by your mother Jewel." Lawrence said with a raised eyebrow.

I shook my head. "I know you said that but she isn't my mother, I may be her son's reincarnation, but I myself am not her son. The only parents I have ever known were my adoptive father, mother, and my biological mother. Other then that I don't have any other parents." I said looking at the two seriously.

"Dragons," Akasha started. "Such as myself and Lawrence here, our culture doesn't believe in the difference between blood and soul relations. For example, in your case you may not be biologically our queen's son. But that matters little to nothing, as the Soul is what truly makes us who we are. And those of the royal line or those with nature abilities, and spirit dragons, can see into the soul. You are technically our prince whether you believe so or not. And she sees you as her son no matter what anyone thinks as all dragons do it's the reason we dragons also seek out those with a strong draconic presence and bring them back as in most cases they come up with special abilities. A mortal can be a reincarnation of a dragon and gain special abilities. Your abilities being the reincarnation of Ashura ensured you would have the abilities of all dragons, however due to you being a son of a goddess, it seems to have mutated to fit your demigod abilities as well. Hence why due to our sources, have informed us that your able to actually turn into dragons, which is quite a feat for one so young." Akasha finished.

"This also makes you a large anomaly in Ginarth' s plans and which is why he is going to such lengths to find you." Lawrence said. "Ginarth was most likely expecting a mortal reincarnation not a child of the gods. As it is very, very rare as there are at least 100 to one mortals to every demigod. So, the odds of this specifically happening is very rare."

"Wow," I muttered shocked. "But how am I supposed to react? I mean I'm not really used to a dragon's way of life. I mean I have only known what its like being a human."

"And that's okay. Akasha said gently. "We do not expect you to just get it right away. Remember we have dealt with others such as yourself in the past. Maybe not to your extent because of your circumstances, but we know how to handle such situations. You just have to be patient and not overwhelm yourself with all these new things, and since you are our only prince you are look to as our future king. Things will transition as they should, but first let us focus on getting you safe. And hopefully to a place like most of us dragons have called home for Eons."

I nodded my head, I wasn't going to pretend that this was all not confusing. Or that I would get it all right away, but I was defiantly willing to learn, and it's something I would just have to go along with for now till I reached my adoptive mother, which I still had no clue as to why she was with the queen of all dragons, and honestly part of me was worried. But as long as she was safe that was all that mattered to me.

Silence then filtered into the car, no one saying anything, just a comfortable silence. I closed my eyes to get some sleep. Hoping that by time I opened my eyes the next time we would reach our destination, but of course my luck decided to prove me wrong, as I heard gun shots from behind the car. Looking over my shoulder I was met with yellowish orange glowing eyes and a sinister grin of one of the most deadliest dragons ever known.

Okay so I have finished the chapter. Hope you all enjoy it. Not my longest chapter and I wanted to lengthen it, but anything I would put would have been pointless. Sooooo, hope you like this. I am happy how it ended up turning out and while not the most action packed it did have a lot of information.
