The other four saw Nala’s struggle and didn’t go in, they didn’t know if Nala had actually made it through or not.
“AS A LOYAL DRAGON TO MY COMPANION AND BEST FRIEND PRINCESS REYNA MILITIA ESTELLA I HEREBY CALL FORTH TO PRAY TO THE LORD OF THE DEMONIC DRAGONS AND TIME TONI KORTS” They heard nala yell from inside of the temple
Those outside of the temple saw it glow before the glow dimmed. Joel got off of Shadow and bolted inside worried about Nala as Shadow followed in suit.
“NALA!” They shouted concerned and worried
Nala was inside as she had a stare off with the god of time himself. The male had his arms crossed as he looked unamused by the young dragoness. When Joel and Shadow saw the stare off Joel and Shadow sighed in relief. Seeing that she was fine.
“Bless Reyna!” Nala hissed out “Your lover has already made her blessing known! I cannot do my job as her companion without your blessing! Unless you want this world to go to *! All of us dragons won’t be here anymore! There will be no one to pray to you! There will be no need for you or the other gods! Do you want to be the reason for that to happen!”
Toni averted his eyes. “I know what you speak of, if I don’t do as you say- you believe it’ll happen?”
“YES! The Jeckle walkers have already made themselves known. One of the people that are around your temple right now is a forced person of that group that wants out! I WANT TO HELP! So either help her willingly or you can hear an earful from your mother later.”
Toni sighed out and looked at Nala in defeat. “I don’t wish for my people to die, if giving you the power to help her out will do just that then so be it. Give me a moment.”
Toni paused time and he rewound it for himself to be able to see where Reyna ended up going to be ‘safe’. Seeing the place she used as a safe haven and seeing that she was being protected by his brother, he took care of the hooded people by mere touch before looking at William. “Show me Reyna. I wish to bless her and give her the power she needs.”
William gave his younger brother an approval nod before motioning for him to walk through the kingdoms gates with him and the others. When Reyna saw Toni by William she looked at him sadly. “Lord Toni.”
“Hey kiddo, don’t look so down. You’re doing great so far-I have to say you have a spitfire for a dragon.” Toni said as he looked at Nala who was behind Reyna
Reyna giggled a bit. “I knew that, she protects me as my companion and as my best friend.”
“I’m aware of that. Come here child.”
She did without question. Toni placed his hands on her arms. “I, Toni Korts-lord of time and demonic dragons hereby give you Princess Reyna my blessing. With my blessing your companion that is my child will be given the strength she’ll need to protect you. She will have the speed to out fly anyone who dares harm you and her breath will kill anyone in the way of it. She will be your ultimate ace.”
As Toni spoke a dark green aura went around the both of them until it faded. Toni then went up to Nala and gave her a silver necklace with a green orb in the middle of it. “This will give you all of the strength and power you will need. I look forward to seeing what you can do my child.”
Nala’s eyes lit up. “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I won’t let you down!” She said excitedly
Toni’s eyes then went to Ella. “I am aware that you wish to help out Reyna, that you feel useless because you have no true connection to her. I can call forth Sandra, only she can give you the boost that you’ll need to help her out.”
Ella nodded her head. “I would appreciate that sir.”
Toni looked back to his mother. “Is that alright with you mother?”
Ryse smiled at him. “Of course my dear. I’m so happy that you’ve come around and come to help her out on your own. Any help you can do to help Reyna out will do wonders.”
Toni nodded his head and he disappeared for a moment only to come back with a strawberry blond female with orange eyes. The female looked at Ella. “ah, this is why I was called forth. Ella dearie. You are on a good path, I’m glad you aren’t at your home kingdom.”
“I-Is everything okay there?” Ella asked concerned
“Not really, but in time it will work itself out. Your focus should be to keep Reyna alive. Without her alive all of this goes to *.” Sandra said before she looked at Reyna. “Oh you look so much like her-and look at those beautiful markings on you. Such a wonderful child you are.”
Reyna looked at Goddess Sandra bashfully. “U-Um…T-Thank you Goddess Sandra.”
“Now, because you have one of my children with you-I will have her be your anchor. You’ll need it, since you will not fight with the sword of Ryse. She will fight in your stead.” Sandra stated before she cupped Reyna’s face. “Such an adorable young girl you are.I hope for great things with you my dear.”
Reyna looked unsure of what to say as Ella smiled a bit.
“I, Sandra Goddess of Tranquility and of the shape shifters bless thee. With a partner link with my people, anyone who allies themself with you that is part of my children will be given the ability to look and sound like you to keep you from harm. Their strength will be increased as will their speed. As long as you live and breath they will be able to turn into you and be able to protect you as such.”
Sandra then looked to Ella and gave her a ring. “This ring will help you turn into her, keep it on your person at all times.”
Ella happily nodded her head. “Yes goddess! I will I promise!” She said happily
Sandra looked at William and scowled at him. “You should have been the one to get me not your damn brother! He told me that you had already blessed Reyna! You should have gotten me the moment you had! I would have done the same!”
William shrunk a bit. “I-I apologize love, I didn’t mean to do such a thing to you.”
She scoffed and flicked his nose. “You will be sir! Once you are done here we will talk!” She hissed out before she looked at Reyna with a smile. “Best of luck dearie. I look forward to seeing you coming back to the kingdom of Shifters where I will personally welcome you back.”
Reyna nodded her head before she bowed respectfully to her. “I will in due time goddess.”
“Oh you are such a little lady! If only most of my kids were like you!” Sandra gushed before she disappeared
Toni then looked at Reyna. “I will now go back, but before I do I have a message to tell you.”
Reyna raised an eyebrow at him. “Yes Lord Toni?”
“When you rest later-I want for you to keep your mind clear of any thoughts. While you rest I will tell you only something you must hear.”
“Yes sir. I can do that.”
“Good.” He said before he looked at Nala. “You will Meet up with a male by the name of Damien soon with Ella. When you do, you will need to find his dragon. Shyla of the Ice dragons is his dragon. Find Prince Joel who has rebelled against Lord Zavier and the lot of you come to my temple. We will power up that necklace there.”
Nala nodded her head. “Yes sir! I can do that!”
Toni looked at his mother with a sad smile. “I’ve done this willingly because I want to see my people thrive. Nala is a very passionate and smart woman, she will be a big asset in making sure that happens. I know you may have to drill into the others-but I will not go against what you wish mother.”
Ryse went up to Toni and cupped his face. “I am proud of you son, you have made me very happy. Thank you for what you’ve done.”
He nodded his head before he shut his eyes. “I must leave.”
“Go child. I look forward to seeing you once this is all done for.” Ryse said before she kissed his forehead softly
Toni opened his eyes before he disappeared, time went back to how it was and he looked directly at Nala who had the necklace he had placed upon her. He smiled at her. “There it is done. Look down.”
Nala jumped a bit as she began to have memories of what he had done. “Holy * you work quick!”
Toni chuckled a bit. “Come close child.”
She did and he placed his hands upon the orb within the necklace. “From god to pupil I give you the power to protect. You will protect and serve your companion as long as she lives.”
The orb glowed for a moment of time before it faded. Toni then patted the top of her head. “There you go, now go forth and give those *s hell.”
Nala chuckled a bit. “I can do that!”
Toni then looked at shadow. “Shadow, you will be leaving with your younger sister yes?”
Shadow nodded his head. “Yes sir.”
“Come here.”
He did without a word before he was given the same type of necklace and blessing. “Joel will need your help to protect Reyna and Nala. Do what you must as her brother.”
Shadow bowed his head. “Of course.”
Toni then looked at Joel. “Tyche is proud of you by the way, you’re doing just as you’re supposed to.”
“Really? She isn’t ashamed of me?” Joel asked unsure
Tyche made herself known beside Toni and she smiled at him. “Joel, you’re doing just as I need you to do. Protect your cousin. Reyna needs family back up more than ever. Show her that not all of those in her family hate her.”
Joel bowed his head respectfully. “Yes Goddess.”
She went up to him and kissed the top of her head softly. “You were raised well by your mother before her death, you’ve done well to do what you needed to do. Now I will give you the blessing you need to protect your cousin. Make me and this lovely kingdom proud. I assure you when you come back Lord Zavier will not be the one in charge.”
Joel smiled at her. “Yes Goddess.”
Once Tyche blessed him she looked towards the entrance. “Shyla and Damien are out there still aren’t they?”
“Yes Goddess, they are.” Joel stated
“I will get them.” Nala said happily
“Please Nala dear?” Tyche said with a smile
Nala was quick to pull the duo into the temple before Damien saw the goddess Tyche before him. “G-Goddess.” He said stunned before he bowed down to her
Tyche chuckled a bit. “Oh you poor thing, you’ve been raised to despise your own kind and even me. But you aren’t like that at all, you are a loving male who I am well aware of your fated path. I will say your first words to Reyna…they could have been better.”
Damien looked down ashamed. “I am aware of that. I wish to make it up to her.”
“I know. I am the goddess of fate my dear. Now dear because of your ever faith in me even with all the hate around you-you shall be blessed as well. You wish to protect who others wish in death.”
Damien's blue eyes widen in shock. “R-Really?! I-I’m honored goddess.” He said stunned
Tyche kissed the top of his head and smiled. “You shall protect Reyna just like Joel does. I wish the best to the both of you.”
“Cousin! Joel! You here?!” A female voice said unsure
“S-Stella!?” Joel said stunned before he went to the hall of the temple. “What are you doing here?”
“My parents and I left the castle, Uncle Zavier is being an *.” Stella said sadly
“Ah! Little Stella! Come here child.” Tyche said happily “And where are your parents?”
“Um Outside the temple…should I get them?” Stella asked
“Yes dearie it’s important.”
Stella did what she was told before the trio came into the temple. Lucian and Andrea were shocked to see the Goddess in her whole form. They both bowed the the goddess.
“Goddess.” They said in unison
“You wish to no longer be around your * elder brother yes?” Tyche asked
“Yeah, he’s gone too far with what he’s done to his poor child.” Andrea said sadly
“Well she is about to hit the worst road block in her life. She needs help. Would you two be willing to help your niece out?” Tyche asked
Lucian and Andrea looked at one another before they looked at Tyche. “Yes of course.” Lucian said with a nod of his head
“Good glad to hear it. Lucian-Andrea you two already have your dragons. I know that much. But Little Stella needs to find hers. Then the lot of you will be going with Nala and her small group to where they will be fighting off those who work for Amara.”
Hearing Amara’s name both of them looked *ed. “That * STILL wants Reyna dead?!” Andrea said angered
Tyche sighed out. “Yes sadly.”
“Oh he’s going to get it now! Anyone siding with that piece of * is going down!” Lucian said seriously
Tyche gave both of them a kiss on the top of the head. “Go get your dragons dearies come back here.”
“Yes goddess.” They said in unison
Tyche then looked at Stella. “I cannot give you a blessing without your dragon.”
Shadow went up to Stella and sniffed her. “Toro.” he said looking at Tyche.
“Your youngest brother and Nala’s twin?”
He nodded his head. “I’m certain.”
“Go get him Shadow dear please?”
“With pleasure.”
Nala was doing a happy dance in place, she was excited she was going to be able to work side by side with her brothers. When Shadow came back he had Toro in tow, he called out for Stella who came towards him and smiled at Toro. “Hiya Toro.” Stella said with a smile
“Hiya Stella, boop me?” He said with a toothy grin
She giggled and gave him a boop making him turn human. He was just like his elder brother-black short hair and dark green eyes. Stella hugged Toro tightly “We’re gonna have so much fun together Toro!”
Toro grinned and hugged her back. “Mhm, I will always have your back.”
Shadow smiled a bit and sighed. “C’mon you two back into the temple.”
They did, Tino and Tyche gave them both the blessings they needed to help Reyna out. When Andrea and Lucian came back with the elder of the fire dragons-Kalo and Myra Lin Toni gave the two dragons the blessing they needed. The elders then looked at Nala.
“Nala, we trust you for information. What the * is going on with Reyna right now?” Lucian asked
“Oh boy…um…let me see if I can comprehend everything on my own right now. Uh…okay…So there are people called ‘Jeckle walkers’ they are people who work with Amara. They want Rey dead. Avery and Zeph managed to get into that place and now they want to destroy it inside out.” Nala stated “Damien here was once part of their ranks but isn’t anymore. He is going to show us where to go and help us deal with that group so Rey doesn’t have to.”
Lucian looked at Damien. “I don’t trust you right now, but let’s see what the future holds.”
Damien nodded his head. “That is fair. Now can we move? The longer we wait the more ready they’ll be.”
Andrea nodded her head. ”Sure thing. But you’re going ahead of us. We’ll be flank.”
Damien looked at Shyla. “Let’s go. We’re going out after Nala who will lead us back.”
“Okies.” Shyla said with a nod of her head
When they all left the temple the dragons all transformed and Nala flew up first. “I’ll try to be slow but I don’t know if I’ll be able to.” Nala commented
“If you do go too quick I’ll shout.” Damien stated
“Okie dokie!” Nala said with a grin before the other dragons with their companions flew up to meet up with her.
They all left and they all were able to keep up with Nala as they made it back to the human kingdom where Avery, Zeph, Hyun and Ella were waiting for them. Ella and Zeph were stunned to see the fact that Nala came back with more than just Damien and his dragon. When she landed and transformed she looked overly excited.
“We’re going to burn those *s to a crisp!!!! My bros are with us and even two fire dragos too! And they’re badass ones too!” Nala said excitedly
“Can we trust those on the dragons?” Ella asked
“Uh-huh! On the fire dragos are Rey’s aunt and uncle Andrea and Lucian. They are the other two people out of her family of adults that Hate Amara for their own reasons. Stella and Joel are Rey’s cousins. They dun like her father and will protect her too. All of us dragos got a blessing from Lord Toni and Tyche is a bad ass goddess and blessed the demons. So we're good!”
“Alright then, Damien what do you think our best plan of action is to do?” Zeph asked Damien
Damien leaned against Shyla and sighed out. “All out surprise attack. Have all the dragons stay in the air and work together to isolate the building so no one leaves it. Then all of us who aren’t dragons go in and destroy the *s who want to kill Reyna.”
Andrea laughed a bit. “Oh I’m starting to like you! I like that idea a lot. I gotta ask, who are the leaders of that * place?”
“They are two people who say they are tree people but I doubt that. Their names are Nelson Eyler and Wayne Myra. Nelson has purple hair and brown eyes while Wayne has White hair and dark green eyes.” Damien explained looking at the elder woman.
“Are there any objections to Lucian and I taking those two *s on?” Andrea asked
“Nah, take care of them. We’ll get the others and you can join the fun when you’re done.” Avery said with a grin
“Whoo! Alright then. Damien, you take the lead now kid. Let’s bash these *ers heads in!” Andrea said excitedly
Nala turned back into her dragon form and looked at Avery and Ella. “Go onto my back. Hyun can take care of Zeph.”
Avery got on first before he helped Ella on placing her in front of him. Hyun then changed into his dragon form and let Zeph go on top of him. Damien then showed them all where they needed to go. All of the dragons landed in a circle around the building. Andrea and Lucian noticed that all of the windows were boarded up. They looked at Damien. “That’s sketchy.”
“Well they are in that building illegally did you really think they’d do something legally? They want to kill an innocent woman.” Damien said shaking his head
Lucian scoffed. “You have a point there. Never mind.”
Zeph walked around the building before he hummed out in thought. “I’m not going in right away.”
“Huh? Why not?” Avery asked
“I have an idea to wash them out.”
Joel raised an eyebrow at him. “Is that supposed to be a pun or joke?”
“I’m a water elemental prince-what the * do you think?” Zeph said with a hand on his hip
“Okay punny joke it is. So how do we go about this? I’ve never done something like this before?” Joel asked
Andrea and Lucian grinned at one another. “Kiddies behind us.” Andrea said with an amused chuckle
All of them did as the dragons flew up without their companions. Andrea kicked the door down and she threw gas flasks as she entered the building as Lucian casted a visibility spell for those in the group so they wouldn’t be blinded by the gas. Damien pointed out the two leaders to the elders and they parted from the group as Joel, Stella, Zeph and Avery began their work. Outside of the building Zeph was sitting on the ground as he had his hands focused on the water around the building. He then made all of the water around the building burst all of the pipes inside and near the building.
He then controlled the water that poured out gathering it all around him before he took a deep breath and opened his eyes. He directed the water into the building and searched for the fire elemental who was causing Stella trouble. The elemental turned to dust within the water as the water healed Stella’s wounds. Zeph then went to find the others to heal them of any wounds they would get and help them get an advantage if he could. He then let the water disperse from the building before he looked up at Hyun. “I need to rest…my magic is almost gone.”
Hyun went to pick him up before he looked back at Zeph. “What the hell did you do?”
“There was a fire elemental in there, he was dangerous and could cause a lot of harm. Being that I am of water my magic kills his kind. My magic can also heal people-so…with the rest of my magic…that’s what I did. I’m *ing tired as hell right now.” He said tiredly as he lied against the dragon chest first
Hyun faced forward. “You did good, I know the others would have appreciated what you’ve done.”
“I hope so…while I was doing that…I felt as if Lord William was giving me a power boost or something.”
“Well he has blessed Reyna, no doubt it has to deal with that.”
“Mhm…probably”
Nala over heard all of them and shook her head. “What you had happen to you Zeph was a different blessing that Lord William did for you.”
Zeph sat up and looked at Nala. “Seriously?”
“Mhm. Seriously. Tina did the same for Avery too.”
“Well *.” Zeph said stunned
Hyun felt a bit left out. “Yet Lord Andre didn’t do the same for me.”
“From what I’m gathering-he isn’t the most reliable god out there right now. Don’t feel too bad.” Nala said sadly
