Once Upon A Time and Lara
Sam looked back, she could see James on a centaur behind her, but Calla and Danny were giving the centaurs some trouble back at the camp. Hurry up and get on before they change their minds about helping us! Sam thought inwardly. James looked back at Calla, "Come on, just get on." He said, trying to hint that this was not the time to be picky, "I'll see you in a bit."
A she-centaur grinned and pulled Calla swiftly onto her back, "We can not carry two passengers anyways." She said, galloping forwards to catch up with the others.
She should of said no. That she wanted to be with James. The thought made her mad. Was she jealous of a centaur? She snapped out of it. Then she saw their camp fire."Could you go a little bit faster?" She didn't want to ruin anything.Danny saw the fire. He was nervous too."Sam look at the fire." Pointing at the fire trying to make a clear warning sign. He didn't mind riding on the back of the centaur. It was really cool.
Sam and James' centaurs had reached a huge stone wall, with seemingly no doors or cracks in it anywhere. Sam slid off of her centaur and thanked him. He just nodded. James slid of his as well, "Thank you for the ride." He said, "It was really fun."
The female centaur raised a brow, "Fun?" She smiled, "I am glad you enjoyed it. It was once in a lifetime experience." She said, hinting that it would not happen again. She obviously though of humans as lower than herself, as all centaurs did.
The centaur Calla was riding sped up, seemingly flying over the ground as Calla had requested. The fire, and the camp grew further and further into the distance, until it wasn't visible at all any more. They arrived beside the others, and the she-centaur stopped, waiting for Calla to dismount
"Ah thank you." She jumped down. The fire was gone into the distance. That was a close call. She walked over to where Sam and James were. She needed to change clothes but, what. Then she got the most amazing idea. She blinked into a nice neon green shirt with dark jeans and her fuzzy boots. She had her weapons still in her boots. She thought about straightening her hair. "Sam curly or straight.?" Wow. That was so much fun. "Thanks." He jumped off the back. He saw Calla had change her outfits again. "Good morning Sam." He said with a smile.
"I like both." She said answering Calla. Then she turned to Danny, "Good morning." She said, smiling. Then she turned to the wall, running her hands over it. She was searching for something.James watched the centaurs gallop away, and then smiled as he saw Calla's outfit switch. "Well, that was fun." He said, "Sam, what on earth are you looking for." He looked up at the wall, "This is a huge wall, with nothing on it."
"Yeah what are you looking for?" Calla was curious. She wondered what James thought about her outfit. She felt a pang of guilt because she used her parents as an excuse not to die. She walked over by James. "I been meaning to ask what are you?Those centaurs call you um a starlighter or something along that line." What is Sam. Should they be worried?
"You look nice." James added. He watched as Sam searched the wall. Finally she stopped and smiled, pressing her finger against one part in the stone. She whispered something that was not English, before a blue light sprang from her finger and ran along the stone, outlining a large shape. It looked like a door. The light spread, curling and winding in designs and runes on the door, until it stopped. The door creaked and groaned opening up into a magnificent courtyard. Statues of tall, slender beings were here and there, along a path into the side of a mountain. There was another door at the end of the path, seemingly into the side of the mountain face. Sam began walking along the path. As soon as they entered the courtyard, the gate swung shut behind them and the door disappeared. "Yes, I am a starlighter." Sam replied, "Some who spotted us, wrote about us and named us elves. We have the energies of the stars flowing in our veins. So we can shapeshift, giving us any appearance, and power we wish." She tried to explain.
"Well thank you." She blushed."I would say you look nice, but you don't look nice." She was playing that game again. She looked up at the wall the open. It was the most beautiful thing she ever saw."Where are we Sam?" So she isn't a witch. That is good he thought.
"What?" James asks, shoving her playfully. Then Sam walked up to the other door and opened it. He gasped and looked inside."Flahediel." Sam answered. "The home of my people." She smiled as the doors opened, revealing a huge cavern on the inside. The floor was smooth and polished, the roof was rough and cavelike, but beautiful never the less. Huge stone columns made to mimick twisting tree branches were placed here and there. All in all, this place could have fit a large city inside it. And it made Sam feel small. "I haven't been here in forever..." She breathed.
"If you insist you look better than nice." She smiled. She took his hand. "James about last night should we tell them?" She didn't want to hide a secret from them. Will they still accept her? Does James still accept her? Danny's jaw open."Wow this is beautiful. So how old are?" Not exactly sure if she will love forever or not. She wasn't as bad as he thought she was. She turned out to be nice.
"Maybe later." He said. He was focused on the room in front of him. All along the walls were tunnels leading who knows where. "I'm 16." She answered. Wondering why he asked that, she walked down the steps and towards one of the tunnels.
"James do you still like me?" That was a stupid question. She really wasn't sure of anything. The room was amazing to her. It was so big. This will be her place to rule from. She will stop the dark witches."Ok." So she didn't live that long."So um is this the place you were talking about Calla will be ruling?" This was a very honest question.
"Yes." He said honestly, following Sam into another room. Sam giggled, "Not ruling, ruling from. This place is too powerful to be ruled. If only the other starlighters were here..." She sighed.
"Ok because if your having second thoughts about it all then that is fine." She didn't want him to hate her. He was going to give up everything to be with her. He was her other half. Shouldn't she be happy."Let's say if Callas power start freaking out or her crazy dark aunt tries turning her again what would happen?" If this place had tons of power that Calla could absorb wouldn't that be crazy to put her here.
"I already had second thoughts." He said smiling, "I chose you."Sam shook her head, "Nothing." She smiled, "Like I said, this place is too powerful to just let its power be sucked away by one witch, regardless of how powerful she is. Only starlighters are able to get past the lock, for one, and for two, it usually takes a very experienced starlighter to be able to siphon it out." She smiled, "Come, I want to show you something." She said, walking slowly towards a tunnel.
Her face turned a beat red. He choses her. She wanted to jump and down. She contained herself. She didn't let go of his hand. She didn't want to. "Ok, but still you said she is more powerful now. Do you exactly know how much power it takes?" He was worried. He wasn't trying to sound pushy.
Sam smiled,"Yeah. Lets just say you would have to combine Calla, her aunts, her mom and dad's powers together, and then multiply that by, say, a hundred." She smiled, "I'm joking. Like I said, the seal over the magic isn't of this world. It's unbreakable, and for a reason. Even so. If and only if someone did break the seal, which like I said, is impossible, that someone, would die." She shrugged, "My folks were pretty particular when it came to power and world domination." She laughed, "So are you coming?"James watched Calla blush and he laughed, "So, you wanna explore with me?" He asked, watching as Danny and Sam went off on their own.
"Well yeah." Then she smiled and said,"Can you protect me from ghosts?" She was in a great mood. This place must be a powerful place. She could feel magic coming from everywhere. "Yeah, so what exactly do you want to show me?" He wasn't nervous. He was glad he had sometime with Sam. She was a nice girl to be around once you get to know her.
James nodded, "Ummmm, sure? Why? Are there any ghosts in here?" He asked.Sam smiled, leading them around another corner and into a huge room. Inside, there were many stone carvings all along the walls. Each depicted great battles, some with starlighters, some with centaurs, others depicted dragons and other mythical creatures. The whole floor in this room was covered in stone carvings of eggs. Realistic looking eggs about 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. All of them were pale grey, but some had spots, and others didn't. "This." Sam said, "Is what I wanted to show you." She grinned and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath in, and a deep breath out. "This is the reason I brought us here." She said.
"Yes there is a lot of ghosts here. That is ok because I'm the one who doesn't look afraid." She gave him dead serious look. Her big grin came upon her face.His mouth dropped."Do you think this will help us with the battle?" He hope the answer was yes. He didn't give up everything for a little trip that lead to no where.
James laughed and then looked puzzled, "You're joking, right?" He hoped there weren't any ghosts.Sam giggled. She motioned to all the stone statues, "These are for more than looking at." She grinned, "Guess what we use them for." She said. Raising her eyebrows, she dared him to guess.
"No." She said with a straight face. "My big bad hunter boyfriend isn't afraid of ghosts is he?" She walked ahead and shouted back."Aren't you coming I need someone to protect me." She bit her lips so she wouldn't laugh."I don't know to tell a story?" He had no clue. How was he suppose to know?
"Uh, no, of course not..." He said, his eyes wide with fear. There better not be any ghosts. He jogged to catch up with Calla. He should stick close to her just in case.Sam grinned, "Good guess, but no." She walked up to one of the egg-sculptures and touched it fondly. She moved to another and another, running her hands over them. There were thousands in the room. She brushed her hand over another, and gasped. A spark of light sprang between her finger and the stone. Slowly, the light spread along the egg, the outer stone covering flaking off, revealing a glistening white pearl coloured shell beneath. Sam smiled, pure joy on her features.
"Mmmm." Not believing him one bit. She was going to play a little trick on him."Do you hear that?" She jumped near him. She used her magic to make ghostly sounds. "James I'm afraid." She gave him a little scared girl look."So what exactly is used for then?" What is this place? Why are they here?
James looked around the dark hallway, his skin crawling. He shuddered once and then tried to hide it by coughing, "Uh-uh-um, it'll b-b-be ok." He said, pulling out his sword, he waved it around, pointing it in the direction of each noise. Sam smiled, "Watch." The egg began to shudder and roll back and forth. A crack split across its surface, and then another, and another. Then the top popped off and a mass of wet, slimy looking flesh fell out. What ever it was tore at the membrane encasing itself and shrugged out of the egg. Shaking itself a little, it opened two enormous blue eyes and stared at Sam. It peeped and waddled over to her. Sam stroked its forehead and it closed it's eyes in contentment, a weird rumbling purr emitting from it's throat. Then it looked up and shook itself, unfurling two large, wet, leathery wings. It stretched its neck and tail, shaking a bit before settling back down again. It was now at least eight feet in length, from nose to tail tip. And when unfurled, it had a wingspan of ten feet. As it's scales dried, the small white dragon shone like it was covered in gems. It walked over to Sam and nuzzled her hand with it's nose. "Now you know why this place was made so large." Sam said, smiling down at her new dragon. "My folk lived in peace with dragons for years." She gestured to the eggs. "Each of these are protected by magic, and will only hatch for the person they were meant to spend their lives with." She smiled, "Go-on, find yours."
She smiled at reaction she was getting out of him. Then she made a ghostly white figure appear in front them. This was so hilarious. Too add effect she made it speak. "Who goes there?" His mouth flew open. He gets pet dragon. This was dream come true. Hah in his parents face saying there is no such thing."I get a dragon." His face was a bright red. "I wanted one for so long." He looked over at Sam.
"Ahhh!" James sqeaked, "I mean. Hiii!" He laughed nervously, and then ducked behind Calla, "Kill it!" He said to her. Sam grinned, her white dragon unfurled a wing and hooked the thumb-claw on it over her shoulder. She shrugged it off, laughing, "Yup. You better believe it. I wasn't of age last time I was here, so I haven't been allowed to get one until now." She turned to her dragon, looking it in the eyes, "I will name you Arae, wich means 'light'." The dragon opened its mouth and let out a satisfied roar. I high pitched roar. Sam giggled "That'll get better with time." She reassured it.
Calla fell on the tunnel floor laughing her but off. The ghost disappeared."Not afraid of ghost huh?" This was so funny. "We gotta to find Sam and Danny , to let them know of the big bad ghosts." She got up. "Awesome." That is all he could think of to say."How do I know which one is mine?" This was a really good question since he didn't deal with magic.
"Hey." James said, "That was not nice." He grinned, "Of course I'm not scared." He laughed, "Not any more at least."Sam smiled, "You'll feel a spark, or a prick, when you touch it." She replied.
"Sure whatever you say." They soon came to a room. Two people were in the middle of it."Found them." She said smiling. She ran to meet Sam."Hi you guys." She saw the cutest little dragon she ever saw."Awe Sam it soooo cute. Look James isn't it soooo cute." "It is about time you guys came." He said. He went back to finding his dragon. He found this small egg. He touched it nothing happen."How long does it take to find one?"
Arae curled her neck back and hummed happily. "Yes." Sam added, "She is the cutest. Her name is Arae." She turned to Danny, "It will take you until you find the right one. That may be as long as it takes for you to touch every single egg.James stared opened mouthed, dragons? He didn't think they existed. And what was this talk about finding them? They already found it, it was sitting right in front of Sam.
"Are we going to get one too?" She asked. She wanted one since her moms."I love dragons the last one I saw was my moms. " She looked over and seem a big chamber."Sam is there one in the big chamber over there.""Yeah what is in there." He got frustrated with trying to find one. He sighed. "Isn't this cool James. I get a pet dragon."
Sam smiled, "We all get one. There is a dragon for every soul. But if you never find it, the dragon stays as an egg forever." She looked out the door, "No, all the eggs are in here. The chamber is just for teaching them to fly. Here they are protected by a deep magic."James smiled, "Yeah. It is so cool." He leaned on one egg and stumbled as it rolled over. The stone flaked off, revealing a black shell. The dragon hatched and a scaly black head popped out. It peeped at James and waddled over, shaking out two large black wings. James grinned, "Would you look at that. The first one I touched too." He said, rubbing the little dragon's head. It was smaller than Sam's, only by a little, but it was more streamlined, chiseled for flying. It would grow up to be fast. "I'll name you.... Charcoal." The dragon snorted, "Ok, then no. How about Dusk?" The dragon rumbled happily, and then wandered over to Arae to say hi. They sniffed noses and began playing together. Arae was already getting faster, and more agile. Dusk was still wet, and his wings clung to his sides, so he was more clumsy.
"I remember a story my mom use to tell me about this one dragon who was the first dragon. It never was tamed by no body, but one person. When the person died the dragon didn't die it grew old and grumpy."She smiled."It was suppose to be located somewhere in these mountains. That is why I recognized them." This was just a story right?"That is just silly story Calla." He shook his head. He sat down on a rock. He noticed something wedge in between the rock. He picked it up and it started it hatch. "Look I found it. I'm going to name you Spot." He shook it is head in agreement."Go ahead little guy." He wouldn't move.
"Awe look guys Spot seemed to inherit Danny's stubbornness." She laughed.
Sam laughed as the newly hatched dragon stared defiantly at Danny. Then she turned to Sam, "No, it is not a myth. That dragon was a good friend of my father's when he lived." She sighed, "But he retreated to the stars when the last of my people left the planet. It is said that he will only return in a time of great need." She nodded to the eggs, "So, are you going to find your's Calla?" She asked.James stared at the three dragons, a black one, a white one, and a... "What color would you call Spot, Danny?" James asked.
"I know this might sound super crazy, but I don't feel my dragon here. I think I know where my dragon is, but I don't know if it is possible to get it." Her dragon is the one in the legend. She has this gut feeling. "I have no clue. It looks like a color." He heard Callas remark."Your not thinking what I think your thinking." His dragon stared up at like he was confused but what he said."Don't give that look."
"Yes I am Danny."
Sam shook her head, "No, I believe it. But the great dragon will not belong to anyone any longer. He may obey you when the time comes, but I would still try and find another one for the time being." She smiled, "it is really up to you though. If you would rather take your chances on your own until the old one comes, that is fine as well.""Wow." James said, "A colour. Ok, then. Do you think he is more red? Or orange?" Dusk crawled over to James, nudging his hand and rumbling sadly, "You hungry?" He asked it.
"You said it yourself one dragon per soul that is my dragon I know it. Another story my mom used to say that one day that the dragon will claim his new master because the first one wasn't meant to be. The dragon waited, but it never came." She used to love the dragon stories the most at bed time. "I don't know it looks like red and orange puked on him." His dragon didn't move."Why won't my dragon move?" He asked.
Sam nodded, "Ok. I guess I wouldn't know. You would have to feel it yourself." She said honestly. James smiled, "I don't know. Maybe it's because he takes after you." He looked over at the red dragon, "Spot, come here." He cooed.
"Yeah, so do you know how to get this dragon to come?" She turned her head and laughed."Danny I guess we see who your dragon likes."He sat on the ground pouting."How come it listens to you, but not me?" This wasn't cool. He got his dream pet and it didn't like him.
Sam shook her head, "There, I honestly have no idea." She said sadly. "If I had known, he could have helped save my parents lives." She looked down, determined not to cry. James smiled, "Because I asked it nicely." He said, "Hey, this dragon may be good for you. It will teach you how to respond nicely." He grinned, "And maybe even learn to love something." James stroked Spot's head, "See? He just wants you to show him some love."
"I'm sorry about your parents I know how it feels to lose someone you love." She missed her parents. Then she froze. Her eyes went a bright light color.I'm here. Follow the fire and you will find be. She gasped for air."Hey are you informing me that I'm incapable of liking something." He smiled. "Come here Spot." It didn't come. This wasn't funny.
"Well...." James said, laughing. "Try again, but be nicer." He laughed. Danny really needed to loose that hard shell of his if he was going to win over his dragon's heart."You ok?" Sam asked Calla.
"Yeah, is there any place where a dragon could be hidden at here?" "I am being nice." He gave up."I will mess around with it later." He was angry. This is so not fair. He can't have one thing that likes him.
"So you're just going to give up?" James asked, "Wow, such a quitter. Try again. But don't order it, ask it nicely. Using please, and thankyou, and a softer voice." He suggested, smiling.Sam sighed, "Pretty much everywhere. This whole place was built to house dragons. There is not one room a dragon could not fit into. And there are many rooms in here."
"Is there a hall with fire or any type of light?" This has to narrow down her search right?"I will give up for now. Only because I'm hungry." He is not a quiter.
Sam thought hard, "Yes actually. The training room, where we teach dragons how to breathe fire." She said. "Excuses excuses." James said, "You're dragon is probably hungry too. Why don't you ask him? Then we can all go eat together."
"Can you take me there?" This is where her dragon is."Those aren't excuses they are facts." He looked at his dragon."Are you hungry?" It didn't even do anything. Having a dragon was stupid.
"Sure." Sam said, leading the way out of the chamber. Arae, who had grown surprisingly fast, and was now shoulder height, followed the two girls."Riiight." James said, "Well, lets go to the kitchen I guess." He said. When he began walking, Dusk followed him at his heal.
"So you want to ride with James." That what she was hinting at. She could come out and say that. Was she jealous?
