Bear's point of view

I hold Dylan in my arms to stop him from falling to the floor as I sign for Doogie to come over. Doogie is one of our medics, and I give him the all-clear to take over as I gently lay the young Dragon on the ground.

Doogie looks at me as he says

"Are you sure you want to do this, Bear? He's not going to be happy when he wakes up."

I nod my head as I reply.

"Yes, we have no choice. Ash would be devastated if anything happened to him, and if Dylan is half the man that Ash is, then there is no way he would not want to go searching for his brother. I promised Ash if anything were to happen to him, I would take care of Dylan, and I don't see any other way; as soon as our backs are turned, the kid will be gone, and then the Rogues have two Dragons in their grip. I can't take that chance."

Doogie nods his head before he pulls out a needle from his kitbag and stabs Dylan's leg with it.

"That should keep him out for a few hours."

He says. I grab a drink of water as we pack

    Bear's point of viewAs I head down the hallway to Ash's room, I hear the commotion and our young Dragons angry shouts…yes, he's not a happy dragon.We I open the door, there's at least six men trying to hold him down and if I weren't so worried for myself right now, I would probably laugh as these six big military guys try and hold down one twelve-year-old boy, but I think I've said this rather a lot lately. Dylan is no twelve-year-old boy.When he sees it's me who's entered the room, he lifts his head up as he looks at me and roars"You promised me I could stay behind."And then he launches himself at me.Shit, here we go!He hits me shoulder first before I've had a chance to step through the door, and we both tumble backwards, landing in a jeep in the corridor as the rest of the guy's scramble through the door to try and help.I swear I'm getting too old for this shit!"You said I could stay and wait for Ash."He roars as his first connects with my face…, and my god, the boy has s

    Ash's point of view.I can hear the panic in Bear's voice as he tries to call me back. I know I'm not being fair to him, but here I am with the Dragon Heart Gem within my sights. How can I walk away and leave it here? What if these rouges get word of the war that we are planning, and they go into hiding taking the Dragon's heart with them? I may never see the precious stone again.No, I cannot take that risk, not when I have to think of Anna and the baby. I cannot walk out of here without the Dragon Heart in my hands.I know we are not ready for this war today, and I know this is not what we came to do, but I also know this is what I have to do.It's the stone that's calling me, it's in my head, but for some reason, it's telling me I must not leave it. It somehow needs me to harvest its true powers and the longer I am here with the stone then the more powerful it will become, and I know in my heart we need those powers to win this war maybe not so much for these rouges these are just

    Bear's point of view.So, we're sitting in the meeting room with a few thousand men crammed into the space, plus the various screens scattered around the room making up the different teams from across the world discussing the fight ahead and how we are going to rescue Ash.Doogie jumps in as he says,"I think we need to move out as soon as possible, Bear. We know we can take down the rogues, we have more than enough men ready here, and we need to get Ash out of there before anything happens to him. What if they're torturing him, draining his Dragon power to make the Dragon heart gem stronger somehow."I nod my head as I reply,"Yes, I think you're right Doogie; I don't like the thought of leaving Ash on his own with these rogues god only knows what they're doing to him. I say we move out tonight, we can meet the delta team along the way and join forces if we hit quickly the rogues won't stand a chance against us."Everyone around the room starts agreeing with me when Dylan lets out a

    Dylan's point of viewThe meeting room begins to empty as everyone piles out ready to get on with their tasks as they prepare for this war. Bear pats me on the back before he leaves me alone in the room. The screens all turn dark as the overseas teams log out no doubt to get on with their own planning and when I'm left on my own, I close my eyes and let my mind wander to Ash.I can see him.He's grinning as he sits in a cage high above a large cavern, the dragon stone sits directly in his sight. I swear I can feel the power radiating off the stone through him and my body begins to tingle.What the hell is that?I shrug it off as I concentrate on Ash and say.*I'm glad you're okay Ash, I've been so worried about you. I didn't want to leave you behind. I wanted to come for you, but Bear wouldn't let me*He chuckles as he replies*I know brother I I told Bear to use whatever means he could to keep you safe and get you back to the bunker. You have to understand should anything happen to m

    Dylan's point of view So that's how my life goes for the next three days. I spend every spare minute on a mind link with Ash, where we connect to the dragon heart stone, regaining our lost powers. I cannot describe how powerful I am feeling right now, and although I still haven't changed into a dragon, I can feel its power running through me.The scales are showing themselves more and more each day, much to the amusement of Bear and the rest of the guys at the bunker. Still, I've got to say they've stuck by me through this, and although I cannot wait to see this dragon of mine, I'm still scared; what if something happens during this so-called shift? What if I can never be me again? That's what happened to Anna, and it scares the hell out of me.Ash tries to reassure me every day. He says he has seen the visions of us both shifting and that we are mighty dragons who will one day rule the lands again. He also assures me he has had visions of us turning back into ourselves.

    Dylan's point of viewWe wait for the stroke of midnight on the outskirts of the Rouge's territory. My heart feels as though it is going to beat out of my chest as I look around at Bear, Cookie, and the rest of the guys.How are they so calm…I guess when you do this for a living, it becomes a little easier.I have a few minutes spare as I link up with Ash.*I'm scared, Ash* I say as he replies.*Don't be little brother, everything's fine. The guys will have your back. They won't let anything happen to you. **I know…. I just don't want to let you down*He sighs,*Dylan, you could never let me down; you are an amazing young man even after everything life has thrown your way, you are kind and compassionate but also brave and strong. You are willing to fight for what you believe in…you'll be okay kiddo* *Thank you, Ash, * I whisper.*Please be safe*He smiles before he replies, don’t worry about me. I was born with a thousand lives. Just get that gem for me so I can deal with the Rogues

    Ash's point of viewI sit and wait in my little cage high in the cavern, feeling surprisingly calm, but I think that's the effect the dragon heart gem has on me. I've never felt so powerful before; the scales keep appearing and then disappearing again, but the power stays with me.I feel as though I could take on the world.But the gem tells me it's not time, and for some reason, we must wait for the full moon.When the full moon hits, I watch in awe as the teams storm the cage; Picket is the first one to reach me, and I grin as he makes quick work of releasing me.I jump out, grabbing hold of the ropes as I abseil to the cavern's floor. I catch a glimpse of Dylan surrounded by a team as they haul him up to the Dragon heart; I know they will keep him safe.Rouge, and after Rouge comes after me, I get the feeling they don't want to let me go. They must actually think they are strong enough to capture me; that makes me chuckle as I only stayed to be with the stone. My time here has been

    Ash's point of viewI lean over and kiss my sleeping beauty. If only this were a fairytale and one kiss would awaken her. If only life was that easy.Ophelia smiles as she says,"We shall have to wait for the next full moon before we can consult the moon goddess."I check my watch; the next full moon is a whole six hours away, six hours until I know if the dragon heart can really cure my beautiful Queen.Six hours too long!I kiss her lips again before I whisper,"I need you both back, baby' Don't forget your promise to me, Anna, your promise to find your way back to me."One last kiss on the lips before I reluctantly head back outside; I need to catch up on my team and my little brother. Who is not so little anymore as he towers over everyone around him.*Can't you shift yet?*I ask as he replies, *I don't know how, Ash, what if I'm like this forever*I chuckle as I reply, *Don't worry Dylan you won't be I've seen the visions of you changing back**Please ask the high witch if she k

    Anna’s point of view.And that is how I became the Queen Dragon, and although the day has been perfect, and we are married under the Moon Goddess, I know it’s not the kind of wedding Ash really wanted, but thanks to Cookie and Stans's wife Linda, I have my own surprise for him when we get back to the bunker.We say our goodbye to the moon goddess after she whispers to me,“The Queen stone must be carried with you at all times; as soon as it sees the light, it will expose your Dragon powers, but the stone can also be used to call me to you; if ever you need my help Anna, you can call me through the stone.”Thank you, Moon Goddess, I whisper, before she disappears back into the night sky. Ophelie looks at me as she says, “We have prepared a feast for our King and Queen.”We follow the witches back to their lair as the wolves part, leaving an aisle for us to walk through. Ash squeezes my hand as he whispers, “I know it’s not the kind of wedding you wanted, baby, but I am so happy to hav

    Anna’s point of viewSo, it is the following morning, and we are oft to Eden Forest once more, only this time for the first time. It is for a joyous occasion because today is the day I get to become Ash’s wife, Mrs Ash Willaims, Queen of the Dragons.Who would have thought it possible all those weeks ago when all I ever wanted was to be a normal person, and now all I ever need to be my King’s side, The Dragon King, the true king of the people, the man who will end this war and set humanity free.You couldn't write this shit, could you!I smile as we pull into the outskirts of the forest. The forest is decorated in green ribbons, and when Darius and his pack come to find us, they each wear a green, collar the colour every one associates with The Dragon King—Emerald green, just like his beautiful scales.I hold Ash’s hand as the wolves guide us to the witch's lair. Ophelia is the first to greet us with a warm hug, as do the other three witches.Darius leads Ash away as Ophelia ushers me

    Anna’s point of view.After the breakfast of Dragons, we head outside again, only this time we have Bear and Cookie with us; it’s time to learn the art of fire breathing.I watch as Ash and Dylan each take the gem that turns them into their Dragons, and yes, they are still as magnificent as they were this morning; I have to laugh as when Cookie see the size of Ash’s Dragon, I swear his eyes popped out from his head.Yes, Cookie, he is impressive! Both in Human form and in Dragon form.I somehow end up being the mediator between the two Dragons and their two best friends; Bear raises an eyebrow at this, and I shrug my shoulders and smile. How can I explain something that I do not understand myself? After a couple of hours, Ash lets out a long sigh * I can’t do it; it’s not working**It will, Ash; we must keep trying* I reply, trying to sound confident for his sake when, really, I have no idea if this is ever going to work. All I know is that for the Army to penetrate the underworld, t

    Anna's point of view.After many hours of talks with the high witch of Eden forest, it would seem that the only way to open up the underworld is by fire, and it just so happens that we have two huge Dragons on our side, Two huge inexperienced Dragons who must both learn how to fly and breath fire, Dylan is quite happy for once that he has a little more experience than Ash. and I smile as I watch the pair of them together,We are standing above the waterfall today, out in the open. Yes, it may be dangerous, but Ash hopes that no one knows of this place, and when a dragon needs to learn how to fly, then it would be dangerous to be seen.So here we are…Dylan stands above the waterfall, and I must admit I feel a bit anxious as I watch him. Ash unwraps the Dragon Heart Gem, and within minutes, two magnificent Dragons stand before me, Dragons whose scales shimmer in the early morning light. They really are a beautiful sight to see.Dylan looks to Ash as he says, *Just let your wings unfold

    Anna’s point of viewWe stay locked in each other’s grasp until I shiver in his arms; Ash gently places me down as he whispers.“Let’s get you out of here before you catch a cold baby,” I have to giggle as he passes me a towel hidden in some nook in the cave, and I whisper, “You think of everything Ash”“Everything except spare clothes, I must remember that for next time,” he chuckles. as he hands me his boxer shorts and t-shirt. Once I'm dry, I slip into his t-shirt, which drops to my knees, before pulling his boxers on; he looks at me as he says,“I like you in my clothes; everyone knows that you are mine.”Which makes me giggle as I say, “I think they all know I’m yours by now, Ash.” He smiles.“You were always meant to be mine, Anna,” he says before taking my hand as he leads me back along the narrow ledge to the balcony, which is thankfully still empty, and we step back through the gate unnoticed. We're not so lucky when we get inside, though as all heads turn to look at us, I c

    The Hidden King and IChapter 80Anna's point of viewAsh and the rest of the guys keep their promise and enjoy the whole weekend off. It is a weekend of fun and friendship, relaxation and happiness. It's good to see the atmosphere like this. It would seem they all needed this, but when Monday morning comes around, it's all back to business and back to planning the next step of this war with the Demons.Ash is up at the crack of dawn as usual, and after a quick shower, I join them in the kitchen as I help prepare the breakfasts for the troops; it's not an easy task when you have a few hundred mouths to feed,I join Bear at the stove, and Dylan and Cookie lend a hand, too; Cookie seems to be a good influence on him. He is not your typical moody twelve-year-old anymore; he is mature for his age and fits in here with all of the other guys. I have heard him talking of his girlfriend, though I do think he's missing her.I know that Ash and Dylan, being the powerful Dragons they are, will b

    The Hidden King and IChapter 79Anna's point of viewI wake up in the morning still wrapped in Ash's strong arms. I let out a sigh of contentment as I watch him sleep; he looks so peaceful when he sleeps, I giggle as I try to slide out of his arms; he lets out a groan but doesn't wake up, After using the toilet, I'm tempted to slide back into the bed beside him, but when I get a whiff of the bacon cooking, there's no way I can; it has been weeks since I've been able to eat properly my stomach grumbles as I follow the smell to the kitchen where I find Bear at the stove, I immediately grab some food as I help him to cook breakfast for the troops, it feels like I've never been away from the place, Bear grins as he says,"Boy, is it good to have you back, little lady?"I smile as I reply; it's good to be back, even though I feel as though I've never been away.He laughs, "Yeah, it must seem a little strange." "More than a little strange," I say with a giggle,"First, I find out that m

I do not remember being here, and I don't know why we are here. And I listen quietly as Ash tells me everything.I'm carrying the Dragon heir….Ash chuckles as he says,"I know it's a lot to take in. God, I wish you could have seen everything that happened today; I wish you could have seen our baby the way I did; it was beautiful."Bear's deep voice calls from the doorway."About that" He hands me his phone before pressing play; it feels unreal as I look at the screen and watch myself. I'm lying on Eden Rock. I remember it from last time, and I watch as the witches chant and the wolves howl; the most beautiful white lady appears above
