Chapter 2:

The long a winding hallways of Nestor's castle became more, and more warm as the days passed. It felt more and more like home.

Which left a bittersweet feeling in me. While I was beginning to grow more comfortable with my surroundings, and the people of both the Dragon Realms, and Avalar I still had to get home. I've been gone for nearly a month now, and my family must be worried sick!

Surely there's another way home! Those books couldn't have been my only chance, right?

The most I can do is keep trying.

I entered the dining room, or perhaps I should say my dining room. When I arrived it became very apparent most the furniture and buildings were built to fit dragons. So to make me feel a little more at home Netor hade to build new furniture just so I could be comfortable. The dining room was just a smaller room that branches off of the official castel dining room. I still needed to find a way to show Nestor I was grateful for his work.

Originally the room was more of a storage area, but with new furniture and a bit of dusting it looked very nice!

I yawn and rub my eyes as I push the wooden door to the room open. Only stopping in the doorway when I realized we had guest.

"Good morning Fayra!" Elora said with a gentle smile. Elora, Hunter, and Bianca all sat around the wooden table.

Binaca perked up, "Well it's about time you got outta bed lazy bones!" She laughed. I smiled and blushed a little as I played with one of my pigtail braids.

I'll admit I feel a little underdress, While everyone was dressed and cleaned and ready to take on the day I was still in my pale pink nightgown that I made myself, and my hair was tied up into two braids that fell to my hips.

"It's my day off. I can sleep as long as I wish." I replied jokingly as I sat down at the table. Sitting across from Spyro and Sparks, and next to Elora and Hunter.

"She says, acting like you ever get a day off from the hatchlings…" Spyro said slyly as he took another bite of his meal.

Though I hate to admit it, he is right. After the incident at the Sorceress castle I decided I'd try to be a little helpful around the castle. Aside form forging and blacksmithing, I on occasion would help with the hatchlings in the nursery. I did enjoy the job, but that didn't mean it wasn't a time heavy task.

I merely rolled my eyes at the dragon before looking out at the food displayed before me. All sorts of odd neon colored fruit lay in different bowls, each going by names I was familiar with such as bananas and apples and grapes, but they looked nothing like they did at home.

Mix that with a grilled lamb bacon, and scrambled eggs and you got yourself a wonderful meal fit for a king. I could feel my mouth watering as I gathered what I wanted. Taking a bite into the wonderfully, almost candy sweet fruit.

"So how did you all sleep last night?" I asked. Everyone seemed to merely reply with a "alright," or "good," or even a shrug.

Except for Hunter, who smiled this huge smile, and everyone already knew where this was going. "Dude I had the craziest dream last night!"

"Aaaaand here we go again.." Bianca said tiredly under her breath.

"Ok, so last night, I had a dream where I was in the desert collecting monkeys, but they were blue monkeys. So anyways I'm collecting them, when suddenly these three monkeys riding on the back of a camel just came and stole my birthday cake!.. Oh I was also holding a birthday cake!" He said with a rather large grin.

"And I'm chasing after them to get the cake back, and then I fall down, and when I get back up I notice I forgot to put pants on this morning! But then I remember that I didn't remember getting up this morning, and then I woke up."

"That.. Was a very nice story Hunter." Elora said.

"You know I had a weird dream last night too." Spyro cut in.

"Really? What was it about?" Bianca asked.

"It.. Was weird. I was in this really dark cave." I looked up at him. Cave?

"And I just kept walking deeper and deeper into it, and I was following this weird light that just kept staying ahead of me." Did he… Did he really?

"And then the light just disappeared and…"

"I voice spoke to you from the darkness?" I asked. Everyone at the table suddenly turned their attention towards me, and Spyro seemed to go a bit pale.

"How'd you know?" He asked. I sighed as I ran my hand through my hair.

" I-I uhm.." I wanted to tell him but my voice caught in my throat. I felt panicked. mY heart began to race like I was confessing I broke a law to a guard. "Just curious." I finally say. " My brother always believed that dreams meant something, but I uhh, I always thought it was stupid."

Everyone seemed to stare at me for a overly long minute, before finally turning back to themselves and talking. I kind of just melted into my seat. Only focusing on finishing my meal.

(Helloooooo my friends! Yes I am back, and alive. Shocker I know. Life has been a bit crazy, but I'd like to let you know that I'm back! I don't know how often I can upload but I can tell you that I will also be going back to my first story to fix a few grammar and spelling issues, as well as add a few more chapter or make some chapter longer! Also I plan on making this into a comic series soon so keep an eye out for that!)
