Me:Hey everybody I'm back with Chapter 11 of the Amazon Kingdom. sorry for the late update I have been fighting an ear infection, then I got so busy with training. Anyway many of you don't know there will be a sequel to the Amazon Kingdom so subscribe to get author alerts so you can get updates.
"Enough is enough, its been days sense Drake was taken, and we haven't heard anything from him. We should go rescue him." Jaden blurs out during lunch causing everyone to freeze.
Livi was the first to speak, "I agree with Jaden, it not like Drake to be this long. Before we can attempt a rescue, we should we scout out the Amazon's tower."
Axe burst into the room "Lady Rachel, Lady Olivia. The Dragons, they have gone crazy," He move to the window the others fallowed, "They are setting everything a blazed, Outside Blue-eyes and the other dragons are rampaging all over the castle's grounds burning the trees and gardens
Jaden could feel that they were in pain, "Pain, so much pain", he says in a sadden voice. Alexis felt sharp pain pass through her stomach and a sudden dizzy spell
"What!" Rachel asks
"The dragons are in pain, something must have happen to Drake, you can hear their pain in their roar. Jaden and I can feel their pain. It's overwhelming" Jesse explains obvious in discomfort.
The fire still raged on. Livi took Rachel's hand, "Don't worry he will find his way back to you no matter what." she turns to the iron-clad warrior "Have Alpha platoon prepare to mobilize. We are going rescue Drake. Ready the Rhinos and Panzers for recon mission." Livi taking charge.
"Yes milady", he replies, then leaves to do as ordered
Jaden, Jesse, Aster, Hassleberry, Axel, Jim, Syrus Bastion, and Atticus are now in the castle's war room with Livi, Garoozis who is about to kill over, Dianna as well as Drake's two commanders; Darrus (Dark Paladin) and Thane (Dark Flare Knight). Alexis said she wasn't feeling well after seeing the dragons in pain. So Marina and Marisol took back to her room to lay down. Rachel sits in her seat next Drake's empty throne staring into space, the lights are on but nobody's home. Livi puts her on her command headset and hands one to Axel and Hassleberry, then she activates the holographic projectors and the holographic displays on the headsets which show videos from cameras in the marines' helmets.
Livi see Rachel is lost in her fear of what has happens to Drake, "Captain is your recon ready?" she asks through coms in her headset. "Not yet they are getting into position," came the reply. "Have them begin broadcasting when in position", she says then muting her mic, and walks over to Rachel, getting into her lap, Livi pulls her into a caring hug. That's when Rachel finally breaks down and starts to let the tears flow down her cheeks. Livi whispers, "That's it, let it out, just let it out, you don't have to be so strong that you can't cry. And everything is going to be alright."
A smile spreads across Rachel's face as she wipes the tears away and says, "Ha, sometimes I forget you're older than you look" she pulls Livi in for another hug, "Thank you"
Livi nods,"When I miss Drake while he was away on trips. I would sing this song he would sing to me, it made it seem he was still here
"What was the song?" Rachel asks
Livi begins to sing
"Down by the reeds
Down by the reeds
Float the souls left unbroken by White Balverines
Down by the reeds
Night-blooming weeds
Embrace those who go dancing in sad moonlit dreams.
Down by the reeds
A twisted path leads
To Banshees who breathe out a cold winter breeze."
She she get up and walk back to the map table, un-muting her mic. Livi turn back to Rachel and says, "Rachel, you don't have to be here, why dontcha go and check on Alexis and the Twins," Rachel leaves
Syrus looks around, "Where's Chazz?"
"Oh Drake had got word that was needed back home due to some family emergency, a private matter so Drake sent him back home before he left" Livi answers,"Good thing to he was starting to get on my nerves."
Alexis is sleeping, The twins are reading books they got from the château's library when Rachel pokes her head in "hey how is she?" she asks
"She's fine, sleeping now," Marisol says from her seat next to the window.
"She says it is just a headache, but I think it is more than just that", Marina says sitting on the bed next to Alexis' sleeping form, "You don't think she and Jaden…" She ask her sister
"Nah", the twins say together.
Drake's eyes shoot open as he takes in a deep breath. The sun's light shinning through canopy. He grunts and groans as he tries to sit up. Looks around taking his surroundings, then he get to his feet only to grab on to a near by tree for support. He looks around for a landmark to figure where he was but at his dismay he does not recognizes where he was. He notices that his cloths are burned and shredded, and his shoe are gone.
"Drake, please be alive. Please gods help him find his way back to me from whatever dark place he may be." a ghostly mirage of Rachel appear in front of him
"Rachel? Rachel I'm right here," He reaches out to her but she disappear, "I will find my way back to you, my love." he told himself
"Castle command, this is Recon-1 Saber team, we have visual on the Amazon tower" Before them stands a badly damage tower, some fire still raging from Garroff's escape, many amazons are running to and fro in such panic they didn't even notice the marines, "Many are rambling about some demon name Garroff"
"No it can't be, Commander Thane send our medics to help them out, Saber team hold position."
Commander Darrus in shock, "Milady are we really going to send aid to the amazons,"
"Yes Darrus, they were attack by Garroff, and that is a fate worse than death itself, he is an 8ft tall monster of a dragon who leaves fear, madness, and death in his wake." Livi says
"Milady, how do you know this Demon" Thane asks
"It was just after Château Balder was finish and Dragonguard was soon to be as well. Drake, Jorge and I decided to explore what is now known as Dragon Lord cave." Livi explains
"Wait a minute who's Jorge?" Jesse asks causing Livi to become red in the face.
She laughs nervously, "Never mind that, anyway that is where we found the Dragon throne and Zeno, Garroff's right hand man. And This is Garroff," Livi presses a button causing a holo-image of Garroff appear above the map-table; Fiery red-orange eyes, black horns that sweep back and up, Red scales on is back and yellow on his underside, black spikes that go down the back of his neck, a club at the end of his tail made up of two harden scales that make a spear tip and if use right can cut as well as smash, "he gives off this aura that we call his blood rage which leaves the survivors of his attack non compos mentis, basically ripping their minds in two.
"huh? Non compos mentis?" Jaden asks
"latin. It means literally 'not having control of one's mind'." Livi explains, "Survivors usually suffer from frightful vision of what Garroff did to them, you might say it's like what a living hell would be. If he truly has return then we'll need the Draconic Guard," Livi types a code into keypad. When she was done, the sound of ancient gears turning fill the air, a false wall raise up to reveal three massive heavy-armor super soldiers wearing technologically advance combat exoskeleton battle-suits with a network of overlapping layers of armor. Their armor is painted the same colors as Drake's battle stander. Their faces are hidden behind orange-red polarized visored helmets that incase heads like sport motorcycle helmet.
(All in all they are like the spartans-II's from halo which served as inspiration for the Draconic Guard, DG for short. I do not own HALO)
"Only three?" Axel asks
"No these are just all that is left of the original 300 that fought with Drake at the Battle of the Dragon Throne against Garroff and his followers."
"So only four survived the first fight against this Garroff" Hassleberry ask clearly tense from this fact.
"Yeah but now we have 3000 DG's, these are the elites. Ajax, Legion, and Xena is the first female DG."
All three of their helmets are dragon-like but each has a different set of horns. Ajax's curve forward and up, Legion has a pair of ram horns, Xena has two separate clusters of horn-lets on the upper back of her helmet. The three warriors shutter to life and after the retrieve their weapons, they move from the secret room and kneel at Livi's feet "We are yours to command Lady Olivia Balder" Ajax says as they bow their heads.
That when both Jaden and Jesse felt dizzy and fell unconscious into a dark void.
