Chapter 1.2

“Really dad, the stuff that is in all the children books, about dragons, and wizards.” I said not really believing my dad. “Yea that’s it. There are supposed to be dragons around this entire world, the wizards aren’t real however, well I haven’t seen a person use magic.” He said. I wasn’t really sure if I should say anything or not. It’s like you want to ask someone something, but can’t get the courage to do so. “Well, we should keep walking; we don’t want anyone to see the trees in this condition.”

“So… is the center of the forest magic, or is all of it magic?” I asked my dad. “Why would I know? The only people that would know that are the people that have actually been to the forest, I’m just going on rumors now son.”

“Oh…okay, I was just wondering that’s all.” I explained, not trying to poke and prod at his emotions. “Hey dad, I was wondering if you knew Blaze when…”

“No I do not know Blaze!” I just kind of stared at him not wanting or daring enough to ask another question. So we just started walking again.

“Hey dad, look a village.” Sweet maybe now I can actually get some sleep and not have to worry about getting attacked. Ever since we were attacked by Blaze, it seems that neither me nor dad could really get any sleep. We rested, but never really got any sleep. “We can’t stay unfortunately son. We have got to keep moving at all times.” He really didn’t sound too sad that we weren’t stopping. “What?! Why not, we both need it, and we need food too.

“No.” He had no emotion in his voice, and that really scared me. My dad was a guy that was always caring, or really emotional. But this tone had no emotion in it, like I said it scared me. “Dad…” I was so scared it came out as a plea and less of a question. Really there were no birds chirping, or even wind blowing. It was completely,

Silent....

“Dad, can we please move. This place is really starting to freak me out.” Then my dad just fell down. I don’t know if he was dead or not, but he wasn’t breathing, or even blinking. Then I saw a small round hole in the back of his head. Suddenly there were more in the surrounding trees and grass. I ran as fast as I could, just wanting to get out of there, right now.

I didn’t care where I was going; I just needed to get there. As I ran there were these colors that surrounded me, I was like being in a kaleidoscope. When I stopped, I had no idea where I was. There was water around me, and I was standing on solid ground, but the grass was red, and the sky was a deep purple. I had to look away; it was so hypnotizing, that I felt that I would get sucked into it if I wasn’t holding on to something. As I sat down, I started to feel really strange, really dizzy.

“Oh… where am I?”

“Tvg, lfg, lx, nb, slfhc!”

“Huh?”

“MLD!” There was this really round lady pointing at the door and being very loud. Then she picked me up, with absolutely no effort and threw me out the door, followed two seconds later by my sword, and bow. Then a young woman ran out of the door with a worried look in her eyes, and as I stood up, she dragged me to the forest.

“Hliib zylfg nb nlgsvi” She looked embarrassed for some reason “Huh?” What is with these people? I don’t know their language and I don’t recognize it either. “Sorry, I didn’t understand a word you said” I held up my hands, like I didn’t understand “Dszg wlm’g blf fnwvihgzmw?” She said with a weird look in her eyes. “Ls blf wlm’g fnwvihgzmw lfi ozmtfzte!” She seemed very happy for some reason.

Then fear came over her eyes, and she, like my father, fell down. I looked in the same place, and there was also a hole in the back of her head, and again, there were more holes in the ground. So I ran more. As I ran, I felt as if I was falling down and down. Then someone punched me. I went flying through the air and collided with a huge rock “Come on Max, you have got to stop doing that.”

“Yea, hey wait, that’s the first time that’s ever happened.”

“Yea, so what’s your point?”

“Good question.” Then I blacked out.

“Wow he looks so much like you.” Said a woman’s voice “Yea he does, he really does Malon” Said the man from earlier. “Why didn’t you heal him from that blow that you inflicted?” So he did hit me. That explains why my body feels like it’s inside out. “Because he needs to stay here and live for a little longer. I’ll be downstairs” What does he mean by live a little longer? “OK. Well if he won’t heal you then I’ll try.” Ah thank you person.

“Don’t do it Malon.” WHAT!? “Oh come-on, why not, I won’t do anything but heal the minor stuff.” Fine just the minor stuff, not my broken arm or fractured skull. “Fine, minor stuff only. Nothing more. If you do I will find out.” He said very seriously. “Yea I know. Man sometimes him being omniscient gets really annoying. Well lets get you all tidied up.”

“Ummm. Why are you not allowed putting my arm in a splint?”

“Huh, oh sorry, he doesn’t trust me with that kind of stuff. I only know how to do the little stuff like scratches and bruises. ”She stated quite happily. “Well why don’t you learn how to heal arms and other broken things?” I asked really for the first time wondering and not knowing the answer. “I’m really squeamish; I can’t handle the whole blood idea.” “Is he going to go into my actual arm and replace the bones?” I asked really worried. Come-on, a doctor I don’t know going into my arm and messing with the other stuff. “Yep, he’ll probably do that exactly.” And with that I fainted.

“There we go, all done.”
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!” I yelled not wanting him to take the bones out of my arm. “What!?”

“Don’t take the bones out of my arm!” I said “Why would I do a thing like that?” He asked very confused. “She said that you were going to take the bones out of my arm and replace them with alien pieces and sell me!” I squeaked. “I didn’t say that. Sure I exaggerated a little, but that was only to get you to go back to bed. Trust me; Max is not that kind of guy. Yea he’s a big strong guy, but he’s really just a big teddy bear.” Malon said while looking right at Max. Wait a minute, that guy’s name is also Max? Weird... Well now that I look at him, he’s an older looking version than me, not by much though... “Oh come on Malon, he’s not that big of a teddy bear. At least it doesn’t look that way to me.”
“Oh Thorn, your just jealous of my good looks.” Max said while he smoothed back his hair. “Right, what ever. So who’s the little guy?” Said the man known as Thorn. “Well we think…” Oh no, not again. All around me was a spiral of colors and shapes. Oh geeze I’m going to faint again.

Where am I...? I remember going through a spiral of colors, and then I fainted. Wait, I’m back where that woman was, with the weird language. Oh no more spirals, more shapes, and more colors. As I shut my eyes to try and not get sick to my stomach, I notice that I am again on solid ground. “Wow I’m back. I’m back home.”
“Max come on, we’re leaving!!” My dad said sounding really urgent. “Wait dad, you’re alive?” I breathed, relieved that my dad was not dead. “Yea, but we’ve got to run, now!!” So here we were, again running for our lives. I’m not really sure why, but I knew that this had already happened. “Set the pace son.”

“Get ready dad, were moving fast.” So here we our running at a speed that I knew was not humanly possible, but I didn’t care. My dad was here running with me, that was all that mattered. “Hey Max look up.” My dad stated very calmly. As I looked up, I saw this huge flying thing right above our heads. “Max, that is a dragon. Be happy son, their peaceful creatures unless you get on their bad side.” Wow, a real dragon. The dragon was huge, easily the size of a small hill. It was a deep blue that shined in the sunlight.
