Chapter 9 Moving On Part I

The three walked away from the guild under the gates passing students in the fields growing plants and other things with nature magic. Nova was beaming with pride and was egger to show of her magic and her true self in her new form personalized Dragon form. "Shall we." said Necro as they left the last arch. Nova was unsure by his offer to take off at first, but was also egger to see her new form, so she leaped forward and as she became a dragon, but she was shocked to see she was still white like her father. Turning back to face Necro and Lady she shrunk back down, confused and worried about her own powers. "What s going on?" she asked. "I don t know, my form was black form the start, it reflects my necromancy." said Necro. "I don t know why yours hasn t kicked in." "What can we do, we don t now any one?" worried Lady. "I can call on my father for help." said Nova. "It s worth a try." said Necro. Nova closed her eyes and called to her father. "Father can you here me." "I here you Nova." he replied. She was now able to see him as if he stood before her. "Your magic has grown and so has your power." he said looking down at her. "Yes, but my form has not yet changed and I don t now why." "It may stem from your inner conflicts." "Like what." "Your family, they where trying to hurt you, its holding you back. You must resolve this to take of your true form as only then can yo be free. " Nova opened her eyes and was back in the now, after something blocked her off. In the castle the queen was brooding on the throne. "She s coming." she said recovering from entering the mental link "Get the mean at the ready Nova s coming back." The guards all nodded and raced off. Tom was escorted over in chains. "Why have your brought this traitor before me." she scolded. "Please stop going after Nova, she s only a child."he pleaded. "She s half Dragon." "There any many creatures in this world that we live in harmony with, so why are you prosecuting her." "She s half dragon, the same one that forced my family grief for years, she will pay for her fathers crimes." "You can t do this." The queen pulled her new blade from her side and walked towards her former king, and drove the sword right though his stomach. "The crimes of the father become the crimes of the daughter." she whispered in his ear, before pulling her sword out. "If anyone else has problem with this, then can answer to the sword." As she returned her sword soaked in the blood, it s blade dark and made of dragon scale, know to burn dragons flesh. The guards where quick to ensure the king was fine and would not be killed by the now deranged queen. Back across the vast land scape Necro and Nova where flaying will Lady was forced to ride on Necro s back but it was a great experience non the less. "You never told us about your mother." said Necro. "It s hard when the person who looked after you turns around and try to kill you." said Nova. Necro let a silent tear go. "But she looked after you and cared you, sorely." said Lady. "When I was younger." thought Nova. "Young you are young." smirked Necro. "Well, she was motherly, but there where times where I was like a stranger, and did I mention she tried to kill me." Nova, sighed. "That s worse then what happened to me, they just disowned me." said Necro. "What do you think your father meant?" asked Lady. "I need to confront her, as I truly am." said Nova being brave. "We ll be with you." said Necro. "No, I have to do this alone." insisted Nova. "You can t stop me from coming along." Necro insisted. "But we won t intervene." added Lady. "Thank you, for understanding." smiled Nova. "It takes a lot to fight for someone, but it takes more to let them fight for them self." said Necro. "Wise words." said Lady. "When you deal with death, you learn wisdom comes not with age but with experience." sighed Necro as he thought back. They carried on over the valley s and hills towards the castle. The flight was long but they arrived out side at the castle still flying just out of sight, with the help of some magic. "How do you want to handle this?" asked Necro. "I, I don t know." said Nova. "Well, I guess I ll deal with it." he said as he dropped to the floor and became human, Lady hopped of his back. Nova came down and joined them. "Nova stay behind me." he said. Nova ducked behind him and Lady hung her head as she stood by his side. "What are we doing?" asked Nova. "This gets us in any where." smiled Necro. They walked up to the portcullis and up to the guard. "I m here to see the queen." he said as dark clouds loomed over him. The guard backed up and raced the portcullis to let them though. "If we keep this up, we ll be in the throne room in no time." smiled Necro as they walked in to the city. In the throne room the queen was in a set of white amour sitting in the throne leaning on her sword, as the doors burst out as Nova entered as her Human Dragon form, with Necro and Lady standing by the door. The guards got ready to face the attacker, but the queen stood up and drew her sword as she stepped forward. "I have come to face you." called Nova. "You will not live to see the light of day." she warned. Nova just let a breath of fire loose, towards the queen. She just raced forward though them amour searing hot, swinging her blade at Nova she was forced to jump up to avoid the hit. But as she fell down the queen flung her blade up but Nova who jumped back but not enough and the tip of the blade cut across her chest leaving a gaping blistering scar up her body. The Queen smirked but Nova just let the pain become anger and breathed hard down on the amour and sword forcing it to melt to the floor, but the sword just staid in her hand. The Queen swung her blade and Nova caught it in her hand the seizing pain came of as steam she then took it from her hand forcing the queen to to floor before dropping and putting her foot up on the queens back as she tried to stand up. This forced on on to her hands and knees. "Take her to the dungeon for treason." said Nova. The guards nodded and dragged her away. Nova walked to the throne and thought about sitting down on it. "What next?" asked Nerco "Will you sit the thrown." "No, I leave that to my brothers." said Nova "I m no queen." She turned around left the throne behind as she did her body began to shine and change. It was soon covered in bright light, her talons transferred from grey to silver and gold, her body slowly turned red and wiped away her scars, her wings became stripped gold and silver. At the head her eyes became yellow with black slit pupil, a purple, yellow purple stride came off past her head at her neck, with orange points strips coming off it, her tail was silver with a gold tip. She had taken on her own form at last, and it was unlike any other as it was unique in it self. Necro stepped forward. "It seems your goals are finished what will you do know?" "I will see my father." said Nova as she walked towards them. "And I guess this is where we have to part ways." said Lady. "But you know where we live, so if you ever want to, you can come see us." said Necro. "I will." said Nova. She flapped her wings and flew though the castle. Necro and Lady walked back after her tacking the time to stroll home. At the Enchanted forest Nova stopped to see the beauty in it, she had so many times before passed it by, seeing no more then the harsh land she ounce thought or looked though glasses to see it, now as she looked upon it with her own eyes. She saw the beauty at last and as she walked though it she felt her powers grow as she let her body pass though the nature as all things do when they walk in a unspoiled landscape. As she entered the cave she saw her father looking at her he was unsure on who had come in. "What can I do for you young Dragon." he asked. Nova smiled and turned back to her human form "Nothing." The Dragon was taken back by what he had seen. "You have done it, you are your own dragon." he said bowing is head. "What do I do know." "As a free Dragon you are able to claim any unclaimed land as your own and protect its as I have done here." "Of course, but in the future I saw the land was spoiled." "Nova, Dragons don t live for ever, when my times comes no longer will this place be free from humans, but that is how things work as land moves and changes so will the those who guard it." "I know where I will choose." "Good, then you must use your fire to singe the ground as a marker." Nova bowed her head and turned to leave "Before you go, your powers are great but not as great as others of your kind." he said "Other Dragon-Borns can match or even rival your power, it s wise to make allies, something I did not do and it forced to hide, and not be free as you know are." Nova nodded and flew out of the cave. The Dragon laid down to sleep has he had done for so long her knew little else. On the walk home Necro and Lady where wondering about their options about moving on. "I d rather stay, the rock has been my home for so long, I can t leave it." he said. "But we can t just live like hermits, although we could live for ever, you are a Necromancer." "True, I could live to the end of time, but I won t." "So does that mean we will move?" "No, it means I will find a way to live a new life on the road and travel if I can make enough potions to keep the place going in my absence." The two pulled in closer as they walked on, then a shadow flew over head and Nova landed in front of them and turned human. "Nova." gasped Lady, as she moved in to hug her. Necro smiled as he came in to join the clan. The three broke off to arms length. "Why are you here?" asked Necro. "I m free and I want to spend it with you, and keep the peace on the mountain for years and years." "I guess that means we can live as long as you want us to as we like, seeing as serving a Dragon is a great honour." Lady just hugged them all again. They carried on to see someone in a shoddy cloak waving in the wind standing before the rock, as the three came closer the figure looked back, their long black wavy hair and wooden staff cared from a tree made them look out of place as a Necromancer. "What are you doing her?" asked Necro. "I ve come for my title." he said turning to face them. "As what?" asked Lady. "As Necromancer of the Tomb.
