A Dragon's Crimson Cry

A/n This is just a short little filler to show how Trixie and Spud find out what Al is and Al's reaction. I don't know but Al may seem a little ooc.
Ch 74 Elf Trust
Friday rolled around, Trixie got away with breaking her mom's crystal vase after replacing it with the one Jake bought. School was out for a teacher in service day and Al returned from Japan. But Al's return was met with suspicion instead of joy.
"Who wants video games" Al said with excitement as he slid into Jake's room.
Jake, Trixie and Spud had got together on their Friday off. The three were currently watching a DVD in Jake's room.
Al had a grin on holding two video games in each hand but his grin slipped a little with the look Trixie and Spud were giving him.
"Now what" Al asked.
"And what are you suppose to be, a pixie, werewolf…" Trixie was saying.
"O a vampire, they are so in right now" Spud interrupted.
"What am I missing here" Al asked.
"Short story time" Jake said taking Al by the shoulder.
Jake had told Al the whole story about what had happened. Al wasn't as cool as Jake was about letting humans know of the magical world's existence.
"How could you get so carless and you being a dragon would put you in more danger then the others" Al yelled.
"What's the deal" Trixie asked not understanding Al reaction.
"There's a reason the magical world has kept it's self hidden from the humans for" Al began to explain. "Humans and the beings of the magical world could stand living side by side till Rome fell and the human world was sent into a stage of paranoia and fear aka the dark ages. Humans without reason tried to end us, many races dropped to dangerously low numbers and the entire magical community proclaimed we could not longer trust the humans and we went into hiding building our own secret communities were human eyes couldn't see. We've been hiding for centuries and now Jake has messed up."
"You really think we would tell anyone else" Trixie accused.
"I have nothing against you two but things happen and it was proven in the dark ages that humans and magic can't live together" Al said the only two magical beings finally taking the two humans out of conversation. "The dragon council wouldn't nor any other magical council allow this you should have given them the memory potion the first chance you got."
"I trust Trixie and Spud" Jake said.
"I trust them but it's the rest of the world I don't trust namely Rotwood" Al explained. "He may not be the brightest crayon in the box but you don't think he'll put two and two together?"
"Come on this is Rotwood we're talking about" Jake said.
"Watch you're back all three of you even trusted humans can be followed and we know were that may lead" Al said crossing his arms.
"We promise to keep our lips sealed and not be followed" Trixie said.
"But who exactly is following us" Spud asked.
"That's the thing, we don't know any one could" Al answered.
A moment of silence pasted.
"And you are…" Spud said breaking it.
"I'm an elemental elf" Al said removing his concealment bracelet.
Al didn't look much different except for his ears becoming longer with pointed ends.
"What like Santa's elves" Spud asked with excitement.
"No Santa's elves are a whole different breed, a whole different shorter breed" Al went on to say. "Elemental elves are the only elves that are the same height as humans."
"So what exactly is an elemental elf" Trixie asked.
"The tallest breed of elves that can control one element" Al answered.
"What element" Spud asked.
"You know fire, wind…" Those kind of elements" Al said.
"What element are you and how do you control an element" Trixie asked.
"Like this" Al said making some movements causing the water from a glass on the dresser to float out of it as a ball. Then with some more movement Al had the water form into a thin strand and zip around the three before calling it to his hands then freezing it into a sword shape and gripping it with his right hand.
"That is so cool" Spud said.
"I got daddy's power" Al said.
"What's your mom" Trixie asked.
"A fire element" Al simply answered.
"So shouldn't you have fire and water control" Spud asked.
"It doesn't work like that besides water and fire don't get along much like my parents" Al said striking his internal turmoil of his life and family. "My parents married for political reasons as a contract to end the battles between the fire and water clan of the area. I'm the half-breed that's the signing of it" Al explained. "I'm the bad boy trying to get my parents attention while trying to get through the ridicule from the magical world."
"I don't care what breed you are that was cool" Spud said.
"See that's why I go to a human school nobody can figure it out because nobody knows" Al said. "Now as I was saying who wants video games" Al said holding up the games again.
