Dare To Love A Dragon - Chapter 120

Avan opened his eyes gasping for breath, He sat up on the bed, looking around he tried to figure out where he was.

“You are awake, good,” Ander said pulling him off the bed. He held him by his waist and turned his head to Amaru.

“Let’s get out of here,” he told to him. Amaru brought a triangular metal before them.

Avan frowned not understanding what was going on. Before he could ask what was happening Ander forced his hand to hold one corner of the triangle. The two of them grabbed his of the other ends of the triangle.

The triangle started moving, a clock appeared drawn underneath their feet. Avan gazed at the drawing in wonder, his mind was black to tell him what on earth was going on.

The hand of the clock started moving around, at first it was moving slowly but it started increasing the pace. Just then the door opened revealing the fire maiden by the door.

She had her eyes wide open, Ella ran to them in haste and grabbed hold of Avan in hopes to get him away from Ander and save everyone with her plan. Just as she grabbed hold of Avan and stepped into the drawing of the clock. The world around them started changing.

The hand of the clock was moving forward fast. Ella closed her eyes as tears flowed down her face. It seemed that she and Ander had the same plan with the only difference being that Ander is taking them to the future and not the past. The clock spell was in motion and there was nothing she could do.

She could only hold on to Avan as hard as she could. Letting go would mean being stuck in a time limbo which was not an option with the world depending on her.

In no time at all, they found themselves in the forest. The clock stopped and vanished, the triangle metal disappeared from their hands.

“I have to ask,” Avan started. “What is going on?” he asked looking at each one of them.

Ella was lost for words. How is she supposed to tell her best friend that Arimelari as they knew it was gone and that they had traveled to the future to avoid the curse that Ander had sent into the world?

Ander and Amaru held their hands together and stretched them and looked up. Avan and Ella looked up wondering what they were waiting for. It looked like they were getting ready to hold something.

The sky opened up right above them and a scream of a woman was heard as they saw a body fall from the sky. The woman kept falling until she landed in Amaru and Ander’s hands.

“Hello mother,” Ander greeted setting her down.

She stood at her feet trying to understand what was happening. She was about to ask him when Amaru pulled her to him and jumped out of the way in time for Malcolm to hit the ground where she stood.

“How long until they are all here?” Ander questioned Amaru.

Ella’s jaw dropped, she blinked her eyes in shock. What was happening before her eyes were not how she expected the whole thing to turn out.

“About an hour to get them all,” Amaru answered handing Sofia to her husband and asking them to stand back. The sky started raining one by one the family members.

“Be alert to catch my aunt. She is pregnant and we can’t let anything happen to her child,” he said to him.

Ella joined their side, she went to hit Ander on the shoulder but the man dodged by bending his body backward.

“Seriously?” Amaru questioned. He stood beside Ander and when he dodged the punch it landed on him. “Are you courting death, I haven’t eaten a human in a while but I might give it a…”

“Aunt,” Ander screamed getting the both of them to look up. They let their hands on the air and used a spell to hold her and stop her from falling to the ground.

Mordecai, queen grandmother, Annak, Silvia, Olivia, Francis, and Alexander fell from the sky soon after. No one bothered to catch them except for grandmother, the woman’s bones were aged falling from such high ground would have killed her.

Alexander landed on his feet and caught Francis while Annak stabilized herself from hitting the ground. Mordecai was unlucky and he hit the ground hard.

“What is going on?” Alexander asked holding on to his injured stomach.

“The last thing I remember was being consumed by the curse and then I am falling from the cloud,” Francis let out confused.

“I would explain but I don’t care,” Ander said moving away and making his way towards the east of where they were.

He had Avan in his arms as they walked. Amaru and Ella followed behind, the rest of the family was lost and confused but seeing as they were not dead and in the only people with answers walking away they had no choice but to follow behind.

“Do you know where we are headed?” Amaru questioned him.

“Anywhere is better than Arimelari. I can’t stand that place,” Ander replied.” Hopefully this place won’t be too bad. Magic and demons better be history,” he added.

They kept walking, soon they found a clear path. It looked like they were getting closer. Following the path they came to a road, they got out of the forest and entered the road.

“This is nothing like the roads back in Arimelari,” Malia stated. The others nodded in agreement with her.

“This is not Arimelari. We are somewhere,” Annak informed, she was reading her spellbook to find out where she was but the stupid book had no answer for her.

As they walked they heard a screeching sound, it was loud and disturbing and from the sound of it. It was headed right for them, wondering what the sound was they stopped to listen.

Looking ahead they saw a metallic-looking box heading for them at high speed.

BEEP! BEEP!

The horns sounded. “What in the world is that?” Alexander asked standing in front of his family to protect them.

“It seems like it’s challenging us. Why else would he blow war horns repeatedly at us,” Mordecai stated?

“Yes, he might be calling us cowards. Why else will the horn be going on for so long? And it isn’t slowing down so it’s a challenge,” the queen grandmother added.

“Let’s show this thing what we are made of then,” Alexander said.

Malcolm took out his sword forged by dragon breath and held it high ready for battle. Annak, Ander, Amaru, Ella, and Francis raised their hands with a spell in hand, the king and his brother raised their swords.

Sofia, Silvia, and Malia stood back with Silvia taking Avan from Ander and holding him in her hands.

They waited, the speeding metallic box came for them. “Attack,” Alex ordered.

Just as they were about to attack the thing was ripped to pieces. It blew up right before their eyes and later turned to ashes.

“Okay,” Alex let out disappointed that he didn’t get a chance to teach the challenger a lesson before the witches and wizards took care of him. “You could have let us have a chance too,” Malcolm complained.

“We didn’t do that,” Annak confessed.

“If not you then who?”

“We did,” three voices said in unison and made themselves known. “Thank you for not forgetting us,” they said sarcastically to Francis and hugged Ander. “We love you,” they added.

“Nayla, I never thought I would see you again,” Alex said.

A quick family reunion was had with everyone expressing their love for each other and hugging it out. Everyone except for Ander and Amaru joined the family moment.

“Do you regret saving them?”

“Yes, yes I do,” Ander answered the make me irritated by all the love in the room.

“Forgetting someone?” Natalia asked coming from the place where the triplets appeared from.

“This is my daughter Natalia,” Nayla announced to them.

“Great, she is here too. Next, you’ll say Onilen is joining us too,” Amaru and Ander said in unison.

“Good, we all know each other and missed each but can we keep moving. It will night soon, we have no food or a roof above our head so if you don’t mind,” Ander shook his head annoyed.

“It is safe if we keep moving, being in the open might give our enemies a chance to attack us again,” Malcolm advised.

They continued to move. They arrived at a town, their jaws dropped seeing more of the metallic thing that attacked them on the road.

The houses were build-up with a different architecture than the one they were used and there were poles with wires tied to them running around the town.

“Where in the name of Arimelari are we?” Sofia questioned.

They saw a few people walking around the town. The way they dressed shocked the life out of them.

“A woman in pants, what sorcery is this?” The Queen grandmother inquired as they watched two women in pants and crop tops pass them by.

“You see the pants but what the hell is that on top. That is nothing appropriate to wear,” Malia added.
