Chapter three: Nice…. To meet you?

Nate raises his head opening his eyes and turns to look to the blonde boy just as the blonde boy turns to him with wide eyes.

The blonde jumps to his feet turning his body so he is facing Nate as he closes the book.

Nate gets up as the blonde starts backing away towards the door clutching the closed book to his chest. He starts to follow the other as the blonde continues to back away.

The blonde trips over a rock after a few steps outside as he falls onto his butt. He drops the book that lands beside him.

Nate exits the storage house and looks at the blonde who stares back in fear and a little wonder. He glances only to notice the book that had fallen open to the page about wizards. He perks up when he sees this as he gets an idea since the book is with the blonde then maybe the blonde is a young wizard who can help him.

The blonde turns to scramble to his feet to get away so his back is to Nate when Nate suddenly grabs the back of his long sleeved black shirt picking him up.

Nate gets the blonde to his feet then lets go of the shirt.

The blonde grabs a stick that has about two leaves on it only to slightly turn to Nate so his side is facing Nate.

Nate gently grabs the blonde's arm that's holding the stick since he knows he has to be mindful of his sharp teeth. He tugs the blonde closer so the end of the stick hits the brooch's center.

The brooch shimmers for a moment and the two watch, Nate hopeful with the blonde surprised, the stick gain some magical sparkles around it only for the sparkles to vanish with the leaves crumbling to ash.

Nate's face falls in disappointment and turns away to now face the storage building as he sits down with a dragon sigh.

The blonde blinks and glances to the book seeing what page it's on then he looks back to the dragon lowering the stick. He's a farm boy and not a magician but he can see that the dragon needs help with something. He turns grabbing the book and begins flipping through it looking something he sure he spotted when he first flipped through it. He stops at the page and blinks quickly scanning the information.

Spiral mountain a place that holds a powerful magic crystal but is protected by a crowd of so far unbeatable dragons.

He perks up and lowers the book to look to Nate, though to him Nate is just a dragon right now, so he goes over to the other tapping on the top of his tail.

Nate turns to look to the blonde who raises the book showing the mountain. He perks up and turns more to read it. He smiles at this and the blonde smiles more seeing this. He nods letting the blonde know yes.

The blonde lowers the book when he sees this. "The names Mihael." He says.

Nate tries to tell the other his name but it comes out a slight dragon roar.

"You really can't talk." Mihael says to himself as this is his first time meeting a real dragon and he knows you can't always trust what you read.

But with the spiral mountain thing he knows that right now they need to trust the book.

Nate gets up scooping Mihael onto his back.

"Wait!"

Nate pauses and looks to Mihael as best he can.

"Let me get a bag first. So we can carry the stick and book just in case." Mihael climbs down. "I'll be right back." He puts the book along with the stick on a rock then hurries back to grab a bag from his home.

Nate sits down again and watches the book waiting for Mihael to return.

…..

Lauran growls seeing that Nate is getting help so gently swipes the crystal to search to see if someone was sent out after Nate.

What she sees is…..

A person is in full armor and is right now walking to the edge of the hill looking out trying to see if he can spot the dragon that every human doesn't know the true identity of which is Nate. The person turns just in time to see Nate take to the sky, though at this distance the person can't see Mihael, heading away from him. The person's hands clench in anger and the person turns quickly dashing to the horse that was brought on this journey to chase after Nate.

Lauran continues to watch this all happen as she switches back to Nate and Mihael.

…..

Nate is flying still a little clumsy at flying but he has a better grasp at it then the first time he did it.

Mihael has his arms around Nate's neck as they fly. He has never been this high up before….. And in truth…. It's actually kind of scary….. He holds a little tighter to Nate now glad that he snuck out with a bag for this adventure as he could have easily lost the book at this point without the bag.

Nate flickers his eyes back to Mihael and takes pity swooping downwards landing on the ground doing better than last time.

Mihael had closed his eyes when Nate swooped down but once they have landed he opens one eye hesitantly. He opens the other and sits up only keeping one hand on Nate's neck to keep himself stable.

Nate turns his head to look to Mihael in worry.

"Thanks for letting us rest a moment." Mihael says climbing down.

The two move to a large rock by a river and Mihael sits down on the rock.

Nate stays standing behind Mihael watching the other.

Mihael takes the bag off of his bag and he takes out the book flipping to the page that they need. He looks at it as he tries to figure out how far they are from spiral mountain. "Ok. According to this book we just need to keep going in that direction and we should find it." He points in the direction they were going.

Nate nods and moves to beside the rock lowering himself to let Mihael on.

Mihael looks uncertain. "Um. A few more moments?"

Nate raises his head and nods in understanding.

Mihael decides to try something and takes out the stick he decided to keep with him to try make sure the dragon trusts him in trying to help.

Nate watches Mihael wondering what he is doing.

Mihael spins the stick in his hand as he whispers to himself. "I'm not a magician but it sparkled after tapping that jewel. What if that means that it can now preform magic?"

Nate heard him just enough, since it was a whisper, to understand what the other is saying.

Mihael may not be a wizard but Nate knows that right now Mihael is the only one that can help him to get back to normal. He looks up from the stick glancing around wondering what he can test it out on deciding to find something before checking the book for anything that he can try.
