Shortly after arriving at the Chief's house, everyone got to talking right away in a small meeting room.
"How did you meet a mage and fairy brother?" asked Bill while his family sat on one side of a table and Ben sat on the other side with his two friends. Chief Liam took the position at the head of the table between the two groups.
"I had met them long before finding out about this town," said Ben.
"Why did you not say anything two years ago when you first arrived here?" asked a surprised Moll.
"That was because we asked him not to tell others, just to look for more magical creatures like us and to report back once he did," said the fairy.
"Just what is all of this about?" asked Chief Liam.
"I've created a place that is safe for all creatures," said Merlin.
"Humans who hold hatred toward them and the church won't be able to hurt you there and there are already hundreds of magical creatures living there," said Merlin.
"You want us to leave the town?" asked a surprised Mebh.
"Only if you want, we can't force you after all," said the woman.
"Bree's right, but the church is creating an army to hunt any magical creatures and we don't know when they will be on the move," said Ben.
"Meaning you all will all be in danger by staying here," he said.
"I get that you want to help us Ben, but you are a human so you don't have to worry about all of this," said Bill.
"Actually, there was something else I did not tell you all the last time I was here," said Ben as he stood from his seat.
"What do…?" asked Moll before going quiet as Ben suddenly transformed. Scales formed on his arms and around his face while his eyes turned blood red, his fingernails had also turned into razor sharp claws.
"I was turned into a dragon about twenty years ago thanks to an ancient curse," said Ben.
