Chapter 7: taking a trip
i would like to thank the reviewer who said I need to keep my story straight I get ahead of myself sometimes so bear with me please and without further ado here is chapter 7
I wake up around nine to my phone playing sonic boom (awesome freaking ring-tone right?) which is my default ringer, I answer it groggily wondering who would be calling me this early. "hey drake its tales I have some awesome news" he said excitedly "oh yeah (yawn) what kinda news" I ask the seemingly exited fox, "well I just got off the phone with the man who has been studying the dragon culture, he said he was looking for an assistant and I agreed, he even said I could bring someone along and I thought maybe you would like to go, plus it gives you an opportunity to learn more about them". I'm listening more since im now wide awake and absorb what he said "well sure Ill go with you, sounds like a lot of fun" I reply sounding a little exited myself, "well he said the plane leaves at four, I guess ill see you at the airport" said tails, I told him I would see him there and hang up the phone.
Six hours later I have everything I need packed walking out of the door and towards the airport, as im walking I call Sonia to tell her the good news, she wished me luck and made me swear that I would be back in time for our date. It was a thirty minute walk to the airport and when I got to the doors I saw tails waiting for me "was up tails am I late?" I say with a toothy smile (did I mention I have sharp teeth), "no your right on schedule" he said giving me a smile back, I look around hoping to catch a glimpse of the guy who we were supposed to meet. We waited for about twenty minutes and I was bored until I saw someone coming toward us, she stopped and looked at tails and me and I instantly recognized her she was the one I saved yesterday from those thugs, I smiled as she greeted us "hello you must be tails, my name is Tracy fox it is a pleasure to meet you"
she put a hand out to shake ours "the pleasures all mine Mrs. fox this is my friend drake" said tails as she turned to me I smiled and shook her hand saying "i trust you haven't gotten into any trouble lately right?" she chuckled at me and said "no I haven't but you have my thanks for saving me".
"Hey it was no problem" I said shaking her hand she said "now shall we board the plane?" tails and I both nodded and walked to our plane. About two hours later we land and depart heading for the hotel we are going to be staying in, we set our bags on the floor and I sit on the bed tired but ready to go, Tracy on the other hand looked a little pissed about something so I asked what the problem was she said "apparently we wont be getting a chopper to take us to the village which means we will have to go by foot" I sat there thinking when it hit me "tails and i can fly so I will just carry the stuff you need and tails can carry you so we can get there in time" i said she thought about it and agreed that I t would be better than walking so we got tails and we flew out over the forest heading in the direction Tracy was pointing us in.
when we got there we landed outside of a giant wall "wow" it was all I could say at how big the wall was walking forward we went through a gate into the village, I looked around and saw that the dragons were looking at me with curiosity as we head for the center of the village, suddenly I get a massive headache and I fall to the ground screaming in pain while Tracy and tails are next to me wondering what was wrong, before they can say anything the chief walks over and puts two fingers on my forehead knocking me out almost instantly.
XXXXXXXXXX
as I wake up I groan as the pain in my head comes back but not as bad, I look around and see that i am in some sort of hut but I don't get to think long as I see tails walk in followed by what I suppose is the chief, he looks at me and says "it seems you are awake tell me how are you feeling today" his voice is deep and demanding "i am fine but my head still hurts a little the real question is what happened" I said still groaning from the head pressure, "what happened was your inner power unlocking itself, everyone has had this happen before in this village but yours is a power that very few if any have ever had and that is the power of the elements" as he finished I thought 'power of the elements sound fucking awesome' then I said "what does that mean exactly" his eyes soften a little as he says "what it means is that you were born to do great things in this world and to save us from doom in the years to come, when you are feeling better I have some of my men waiting to train you in the use of the elements for the rest of your stay" he started to leave but I said "OK but I have another question, how long was I out" he smiled and said "at least two days" after that he walked out leaving tails and I alone.
I sat there in deep thought when tails said "well looks like you have your work cut out for you with all the training you'll be doing while your here" i could tell he was happy for me and yet a little jealous so I looked over and said "hey nothings cooler than the tech you make" he seemed to brighten at that as he said he had to tell Tracy that I was doing better. As he left I got up out of the bed and walked outside, the sun was bright as I walked down the street asking people on the way where the training grounds were, when I finally got there I saw five figures standing out in the open apparently waiting for me, as I walked forward one of them said "we are the masters of our respected elements we shall be teaching you the basics first then we will be moving on to the more difficult training" when he finished I stood there thinking 'well its now or never' as I said "alright then I am ready for the training" and boy was I in for some pain.
