Chapter 1: Memories of a Broken-hearted Girl
"You're putting too much energy into the cut, sis. You'll be worn out by the third strike." Zaorix warned Dragea.As he had said that, Dragea felt herself starting to sweat and panting slightly.
"Sorry, Zaorix. Is this any better?" She asked, slashing again with more speed and a little less effort.
"Yeah, a little, but I'd work on it more."
The memories of before flashed in Dragea's thoughts as she walked through the many streets Tortuga had to offer. Times had changed and nothing was the same as then.In a matter of an hour, Zaorix had gone from a close brother to her greatest enemy and destroyer of her home and family.He had become cold-hearted.
Her hair was swaying in the wind, annoying her slightly. Pushing it back again, she knew half of the people would recognize her through her clothes or hair. 'Who knew blue hair was such a pain?' she joked in her head.
Her blue hair was the least of her worries when it came to being recognized, however.Out of everything, she'd probably be recognized through one glimpse of either the mark on her forehead or the amulet around her neck.
"Dracora's amulet." That's what it was called and it's ruined her life ever since she'd gotten it.It held unique abilities and was pretty valuable. Everyone was always in pursuit of it, including Zaorix.Ever since that day, she'd regretted ever accepting the responsibility.
They say "Dracora's Amulet" bears its wearer wings. Sometimes it was a dragon's and sometimes an angel's, but it depended on the wearer. Dragea's wings were that of a water dragon, though she wasn't sure what that meant of her.Also, when she's angered, the amulet will change her eyes to the shape of a flame.
Though she left the amulet visibly around her neck, the Draconis mark on her forehead was even more noticeable.She usually kept it hidden by her hair, but the wind was blowing it away from her face.The mark, given to her by Zaorix, was basically a mark of death.She remembered quite vividly how she'd received both.
"You two never stop training, do you?" Their last brother teased.He was leaning against a tree, watching them. Dragea stopped for a second only to turn to Reozix and smile.
"Watch it, Forestfire.You might burn it down again." She giggled to show she was only teasing.They both smiled back and Reozix gave a mock insulted look.
"Hey! that only happened once and it was a bush, not a tree."He replied, getting the expected chuckle from Dragea.
"Dragea! Reozix! Zaorix!" Their mother called. "Your father would like to speak to you three!"
They were all pretty shocked by it, knowing it had to be about the amulet.They shouldn't have all been called, though. Especially not Dragea, but they knew not to question. Despite this, Zaorix's rage led to questioning.
"What do you mean Dragea's going to inherit before me?" Zaorix asked, glaring in her direction.Even Dragea had been upset about it.
"Dad, there's no way! I can't be the one to protect it. I can't even beat Zaorix.He deserves it more than I do." She said, hoping he'd reconsider.
"I've made my decision. Dragea will inherit!" Their father stated angrily as Zaorix stormed to the room he and Reozix shared. Dragea, feeling horrible, went over to his room and knocked on the door.
"Get out, Dragea!" Zaorix yelled through gritted teeth. Ignoring it, she entered and sat on Reozix's bed.
"Look, I'm really sorry.You know how stubborn dad can be sometimes." she told him, not knowing that her trying to calm him down would ultimately destroy their relationship. Zaorix, glaring at her with his pure black eyes, turned to look at her.He walked over to her and stood an arm's width away from her.
As he started to move the hair away from her forehead, she stiffened a little, knowing that whatever he was doing couldn't be good.She eventually was completely stiff and her back was to the wall.She had started to even tremble when he put his hand on her forehead.
"I don't care how or when, but I will kill you for what you've done." Zaorix threatened, glaring far worse than he had before. Dragea's eyes widened in fear as he removed his hand.In place of it was the mark, a "Z" with a line going through it and three snake fangs at each end.
The mark not only marked death, but also the beginning of his exile. Dragea prayed that, while he was gone, he wouldn't hold a grudge, but all the while he was planning revenge. About a month later, Dragea woke up only to find everything being burned to the ground.
Outside, the entire town was under attack. Canons were firing and blades were crossing. Dragea heard it all as she rushed out to help in any way possible.As she left her room, though, she was brought away from the scene to a corridor in the wall.They had it for an escape route in case there was no other way of survival.The look on her mom's face terrified Dragea and the fact that she had the amulet instead of her father didn't help any.
"Take it." She said in a deathly calm tone.The only result was that her father must have been killed.
"No." Dragea said, mostly to herself.She looked at it and took it after about a minute.She knew she wasn't ready for it, but there wasn't time to argue. Someone was coming and she felt herself being pushed in the corridor, hidden from view. Although she was hidden and knew well enough that she had to leave immediately, she couldn't help, but look through the crack between the door.She bit her lip to keep from yelling out at what she saw.
"What do you want?" Her mother asked coldly, blade at her neck.
"I think you know what I want." The pirate holding the blade said in reply to her question.The owner of the blade was Captain Barbossa.
"Yeah, but you're not going to find it." She said, smirking a little coldly, knowing he was going to kill her, anyways.On top of her fear of death, a figure emerged from the shadows, making things a heck of a lot worse.
"Where's Dragea?" Zaorix asked her with a threatening tone. Without realizing it, Dragea had let out a gasp and Zaorix gave a cold smirk."Kill her.She's useless."
Dragea, horrified, left instantly because she knew Zaorix had heard her.As she ran, she put the amulet on so she could fly away from there.Se knew that flying was faster than running and they wouldn't be able to get to her in the air.She could hear Zaorix behind her, chuckling because he could hear her starting to cry.She was a 12-year-old girl who was running from the world with nowhere to turn.

Chapter 2: Three duels in one day((Points if you get this...and, maybe gold for naming the movie...))
That was three years ago, though, and traveling alone had changed her plenty.Even a Draconis would barely recognize her if their paths crossed.Her face remained emotionless as she walked through the streets, even though the memories brought more pain than most could handle.
Before Dragea could really feel any sadness, she heard something that caught her attention.She smirked very slightly at over-hearing their plans.The best part was that they had no idea that she'd heard it.
"If we could ambush her, she'd never see it coming.You can tell she's a female by her carelessness.She's just asking for someone to stea-" A bandit, hidden in the crowd, had said just before blinking.As he blinked, Dragea already held her blade to his neck.
"Chances are I won't kill you, but I might come very close." Dragea threatened, eyes closed to hide her flaming eyes.She never needed her eyes open to know what was going on around her.She could hear a flea about a mile away with her hearing. Hearing was always her strong point against Zaorix, but he had speed over her. Needless to say, he usually won all their fights and she'd have to resort to retreating.She hated it and it really scared her because she knew that if he ever really wanted to, he could easily kill her.
The bandit only glared at her, which was expected.She knew there would be more, following behind him and he'd fight back.This was all very obvious, but she wanted the others to back him up, so she could find the one who was leading the group.The lack of experience showed that he probably wasn't and if he was than this group had no chance against her.
The one that had insulted her already held a dagger in his hand, probably waiting for the back-up to create an opening.She knew he must have been furious that she had caught him so quickly and easily. A female, at that.
One of the other bandits, hidden in a tree above her, came down behind her, but she'd known ahead of time that he was there. Kicking him into the tree, she waited for the other to lunge at her from the side before taking the wrist that held the dagger and breaking it. All of this done, without hesitation or fear.Afterwards, they must have known they couldn't win because they had taken off.
Without her realizing, her over-confidence would get her into trouble because there was a second group of bandits in hiding. This group, however, had known more about her.She just barely heard them coming down on her, trying to surround her.Catching her by surprise, even for a second, was deadly for her since she'd been surrounded.
The entire group had started to smirk as one of them held a sword to the exact spot on her back, between her wings. It was her weak spot and just touching it made her wince slightly from the pain, but her wincing was unnoticeable. Their smirking only made her glare at them. It was impossible for her to escape with the amulet, but she wasn't stupid enough to be that unprepared.
"Do whatever you want, but don't dig it in too deeply... yet..." The leader of the group, directly in front of her, had said. She had kept a direct glare, looking straight at him, which just made him smirk more.About a second later, she had dropped to her knees from the intense pain that came from the man behind her digging his sword into her back.The result of it was laughter towards her, which resulted in her looking at the one in front of her with a fiery glare. Her glare only worsened with them laughing as he dug the sword in deeper.
She'd bit her lip to keep from yelling out. She had held in the pain this time and didn't lower herself any more than she already had, even if it meant taking the worst pain she'd ever feel in her entire life. By now, the sword had almost pierced straight through, just below her throat.
"The only way you're going to live is if you hand it over." The leader had said, starting to hold his own blade to her neck. She only made a low growl to show her anger at his offer. "Would you rather die?" He asked, cruelly.
"Yes."she muttered under her breath, but not loud enough for anyone to hear. Instead, she turned away slightly and looked at the ground in a show of defeat, but only glared worse.
"Smart girl." He said, cutting the amulet free from her neck. She made another low growl as he did this, though. She had her eyes closed and bit her lip again, but this time, to calm herself down. By the time she had calmed down, they'd already left.
At least, until they tried to sell it or something, she could relax a little. She wasn't stupid enough to keep the real thing out in the open like that. The one they took was a purely fake copy that could do absolutely nothing and was worth very little. She smirked slightly at the fact that she'd tricked them, but it didn't last because she was in so much pain and also very tired. She let herself drop onto her stomach and didn't move, aside from breathing.
After about five minutes, she sighed and forced herself to get up. If she didn't find a way to stop the bleeding, she'd probably pass out from blood loss. She remembered a trick that Reozix had taught her once, but it only stopped the bleeding for about an hour at a time.
"Reozix." She sighed. A part of her was saying he was alive, but logic was saying otherwise. She didn't believe logic, though, and she would look until she found him. Until she did, she'd have to use the trick. She took about three deep breaths before she concentrated on the wound. A little while after, she felt the wound stop bleeding. "Thank god for the healer." she whispered to no one in particular.
She took her right arm and lifted it up straight until it was at her shoulder. Concentrating on the amulet's design, when she flicked her wrist backwards, it appeared in her hand. She had made another exact copy that could do absolutely nothing and put it openly around her neck.
You could just tell she was in Tortuga with how natural frequently occuring fights were. People weren't even bothered by the threats to kill her or the deep cut. Not that she'd allow anyone to help her, anyways. No one had even noticed her make a copy of the amulet appear out of nowhere.
Sighing, Dragea felt a bit exhausted from the pain she had just been put through. Taking another deep breath, she tried to think of a safe place to hide where she could put her abilities to full use. Before she had any chance to, though, she heard a very high-pitched whistling noise that was very similar to the noise fireworks make.
Within seconds, Dragea had jumped aside with her dual reverse blades in her hands, heart beating a mile a minute. Just as she'd thought, Zaorix emerged from the shadows in mid-slash. About mid-slash, he had let the dagger go. It cut right into her shoulder and she bit her lip to keep from screaming.

Chapter Three: Beginning of an uncommon relationship
Dragea's heart was beating faster with every passing second. 'Why won't you just kill me already?' She'd spoken in his thoughts. She didn't hide it because she knew he'd hear her thoughts, anyways. If he'd wanted to, he could have easily killed her then and there.
"Don't rush it.You'll die soon enough." Zaorix told her, smiling really coldly. His cold smile became even worse upon hearing how fast her heart was beating from fear. Then, her fear turned into rage from everything he'd put her through. Wasn't he satisfied enough with her suffering?
Dragea had turned around swiftly, hearing another whistling sound, but this one had a lower pitch and was a little different. Dragea wasn't really thinking and didn't notice the difference.She just thought it was Zaorix trying to get behind her, but as she felt his gunblade at her back, she realized it wasn't him.
"You are too predictable. How can you even call yourself a Draconis?" He mocked. Dragea bit her lip to keep from growling and closed her eyes before making her comeback.
"I could ask you that." She muttered as the figure finally emerged from the shadows. She was growling as she saw who it was. Zaorix must have given his mother's murderer the power over shadow manipulation. It made Dragea furious as Barbossa came up in front of her and put a sword to her neck. His face was inches away from her own and she just glared.
'Traitor. Oh, wait, it's you I'm talking about.' Dragea thought to Zaorix, figuring he wouldn't strike. Zaorix was so annoying with how calm and uncaring he could be and it frustrated the heck out of Dragea. What surprised her was that Barbossa had removed the sword from her neck.
Zaorix was planning something. There was no doubt in her mind, but what he was planning was what she didn't know. As soon as the sword was moved, Zaorix had elbowed the back of her neck. It hadn't hurt much, but she felt her entire body go numb. She tried to open her mouth to speak, but words wouldn't come out.
All she could do was glare harder as Zaorix kicked her into a near-by tree. She would have growled, but all she could do was breathe, think, and use telepathy. She struggled to move, but she was, frustratingly and annoyingly, helpless. She hated feeling like a helpless female who couldn't do anything by herself. She wanted to growl just at the thought of it.
To her annoyance, Will Turner was a witness to what was going on and wasn't very happy with it. She had heard him run somewhere and was relieved it wasn't anywhere near her. From the sounds of it, he was running to get someone else.
"Someone needs help. She's trying to fight alone against Barbossa and Zaorix." He said to someone.
"So?" The other had asked.
"If she isn't helped, they'll kill her, Jack." He said, slamming down on the table.
"Oi, and what do you want me to do about it?" The one called Jack replied around the same time she accidently thought to him 'I wish.'
"Help her.What do you mean 'I wish'?" He asked, not distinguishing that only he'd heard that.
"How do you know she wants the help?" Jack had said, not sure what to think. Will looked at him, wondering why she wouldn't want help. He eventually persuaded him enough to help out.
'Don't you even dare.' Dragea thought to them as they got closer. It made them stop where they were for a second, looking at each other.
"Dare what?" They had said at the same exact time. Zaorix faintly heard them coming up behind them and he smirked.
'Idiots. And, don't you realize it's a girl talking?' She thought to them while rolling her eyes, which made them look at her, but this time, weren't happy. She hadn't cared because she was glaring at Zaorix. Had he been planning this the whole time?
"Exactly how do you plan on making us leave? From what I see, you're helpless, you're a woman and you really need us." Jack had said, making Dragea so angry that, when she glared, all you could see was flames. He wasn't even paying attention to her at the moment, though, but Will had seen and was kind of shocked. Jack had taken his sword and pointed it towards Zaorix, who only smirked. Will did the same, but his pointed towards Barbossa.
'Get out of here. I'll be fine.' Dragea reassured them, knowing if they stayed, they would eventually be killed. Just like she would and she knew it. They just ignored her.
"I don't like the odds of two against one." Will had said, mostly to Dragea. It just made her bite her lip in concern. The one thing she hated was when people got hurt because of her.
'Cowards.' She thought to those who were around her. Will and Jack didn't turn or look away, but wondered what she meant. To them, nothing was happening, but Dragea and Zaorix could hear the whistling noise that shadow teleportation made. Within a minute, they were pretty far away.
Dragea closed her eyes and sighed. 'At least it's over.' She said, only to herself. 'Now, will you leave?' She thought, but this time to Will and Jack.
"What is it with you and us leaving?" Will had said, putting his sword away. Dragea hadn't had time to answer because Jack had already put his own away and was right beside her.
Dragea bit her lip and closed her eyes to keep herself calm as he'd picked her up.
'What are you doing?' She asked with an angered and annoyed tone in her thoughts. If there was anything she hated more than others getting hurt on her account, it was when people touched her.
"Whether you like it or not, you can't stay out in the open, savvy?" He replied. Dragea really wished she could move, but oddly didn't mind it as much as if it were anybody else.
'Why can't I be?' She asked, starting to get very annoyed with him now.
"Well, unless you want to get yourself killed..." He'd started to say, pausing only to hold the amulet."...or lose this." He had told her, receiving a growl in reply.That was the most she could do was growl.She knew he was right.
'Zaorix won't kill me. Not yet. He's not about to let someone else kill me, either.' She said, herself unsure of whether he really would or not.All of a sudden, she felt a blade at her neck.
"Are you sure about that?" He'd asked, a bit cruelly, his blade was the one at her neck. She growled a bit, but knew he wouldn't harm her.
'You wouldn't really be that stupid, would you?' She asked him. To her surprise, he slid it across slightly. There was a small and not very deep cut, but it was still a cut. 'You would.' She said, making him smirk a bit.
"I don't think your brother is coming, mate." He said, angering her to the point where her eyes started flaming.
'He is NOT my brother.' Dragea told him, refusing to beleive that the one who betrayed her parents could really be related to her.She kept her face unemotional as she looked away from them.She sighed deeply, wishing she could change things.
He had removed his sword by now and was walking to wherever he was taking her.She just growled at herself to the fact that she had to be carried.Dragea jumped a bit in shock when Jack had put pressure on the weak spot she had, that was located between her neck and shoulder.It knocked her unconscious for about an hour or so.

Chapter 4: Never underestimate a woman's wrath
When she woke up, she noticed that she wasn't numb anymore.She was very thankful for that, but was surprised to find that both the real and fake amulets were safe where they were."You didn't take it." She asked, using her real voice and not telepathy.
She sat up straight from where she was lying down and tilted her head a little in confusion. If it had been anyone else, they definately would have, so why hadn't he?
"I don't need wings or anything to kill who I want. Don't you realize I'm Captain Jack Sparrow?" He said, boastingly right in front of Will, who just ignored it. Dragea, however, had to bite her lip to keep from smiling.
"Yeah, I kind of realized that and I take it you already know mine." She said, receiving nodding heads from them both.Then, she felt a hand at her shoulder and growled as part of a warning.
"I couldn't get your name earlier, but unless you want your hand cut off, I suggest you take it off of me." She stated, threateningly and through gritted teeth, almost in a growling tone.He removed it instantly, but calmly, only slightly angered by her threat.
"I understand, and the name's Will Turner." He said, surprising her slightly.He was being too nice to her for comfort and she was used to always being alone.Feeling a little uncomfortable, she decided she needed to get going and got up off the floor.As soon as she did, Jack put a sword to her neck.
"You don't seriously want to go blade on blade." Dragea warned, knowing he would comment on that.
"What blade? Your unarmed, Dollie." He replied, not realizing how big of a mistake that was.For a second, she did nothing, but stand there with her eyes closed, trying to gather up her anger.Within a split second later, she had both kicked him to the ground and held her left dual reverse blade, which had literally come out of nowhere, to his neck
"Never call me that again.Got it?" Dragea warned.For some reason, she could bring herself to threaten becuase she knew it would turn out to be a bluff and she found a bluff to be fancy lie.She had never lied unless there was a really good reason for it.
Figuring he'd gotten the message, Dragea put the blade away.She turned to walk towards the door, making a vital mistake.By doing so, she left herself vulnerable and he'd gotten to his feet.He put his sword to her back, with Dragea unnoticably stiffening up a little.She growled somewhat, but that only showed how little she could do and he smirked.
"So, everything they'd said about you is true, aye?" He said, keeping his sword where it was. "Don't you think owe us?"
"I owe no one.I didn't ask for help.I even told you to leave me." She said, slowly and calmly up until the point where he dug it in slightly, but not enough to break the skin.At this point, she bit her lip in pain and sighed."What do you want?"
Knowing he'd won, he smirked."I'll think of something.Till then, you'll stay here." He said, making her growl.She turned away in annoyance.
"...And what if I don't?" She asked, grumbling about have to stay where she was."And, if you were smart, you wouldn't make me..."
"You will..." He said, digging the sword in, so she wouldn't move for a little while.Kicking her aside, he ripped the actually amulet from her leg, where she'd kept it."...Unless you want me to keep this."
Dragea was angered so much that if she still had the amulet, her arms would have been flaming instead of her eyes."Give it back." She said, more calmly than she felt as she got up, readying herself to fight for it back, if necessary.His sword was back out as to accept her "Challenge." She charged at him while slashing, but held back a little, making her movements swifter.He blocked almost every shot, but she wasn't after cutting him up to get it.She was going completely around him, in a sort acrobatic way and, without him realizing it, had gotten his pistol away from him.As soon as she was set there, she went full force, taking a few of his shots.However, he took almost double the damage.Realizing how badly he was losing, he reached for it, making her smirk.
"Looking for this?" She asked, holding it up with one finger.He had a look of shock on his face."I'm not an idiot, you know...Now, give me it." She demanded, holding her hand out.What she hadn't expected was that someone snuck up behind her and used her weakness to knock her out.She snapped up about an hour later, feeling dizzy and drained of energy.She snapped up, feeling even more dizzy and felt her back.The cut was reopened and bleeding fast.She tried to cancentrate, but her was pounding from the dizziness.

Chapter 5: Me Against the World((Points and Gold for naming the Band Name))
"You're bleeding." She heard Will say from behind her and jumped a little in surprise."Sorry, hadn't meant to startle you."
"Oh, uh, it's fine?" Dragea replied, still feeling uncomfortable with his kindness."Is he always so aggrevating?"
"You've no idea." He said, showing unamusement.Basically, telling her yes, he was.She sighed."Guess I better get used to it...." She said, annoyed.
"Not necessarily." He said, making her look at him wierdly.He threw something to her."Why?" she asked, confused at his giving her back the amulet.
"No one should be forced to do something." He said, simply.She looked away and bit her lip.It made her feeling kind of guilty.
"Well, I'm probably going to.I hate pirates and all, but this might be my only chance to find... Never mind." She said, looking away.She started feeling dizzy and even passed out from blood loss.She heard Will call someone for something, probably about her losing too much blood.As she soon came to, she felt herself being held down."Let go of me." She said, annoyed.
"You're moving around is making you lose even more blood.Do you want to die from it?" She was asked by someone she didn't know.It was a female voice, which surprised her.
"And how do you know I wouldn't?" She said, a little uncaringly and coldly.
"That would make you a fool, then." The girl said, receiving a growl from it.
"Whatever." Dragea said, hatred of everyone of them.She hated the whole thing and all because she couldn't move earlier.She would so hurt Zaorix for this.It had to have been planned, it was Zaorix they were talking about."He'd better stay far away from me." she grumbled, thinking aloud.She knew they must been wondering what she was talking about, but she could care less whether they were or not."Where's the healer when you needed him..."
"Healer?" Half of them said at once.Dragea just ignored it.Then she heard someone ask something., but it wasn't really important so she ignored that, too.She still felt dizzy, but it was more that she didn't feel right than dizzyness."If you let me go, I can take care of myself."
"How is that? You'll just pass out again..." the girl asked. Dragea just chuckled and told her one thing."You don't know a lot about me, do you?" She said, feeling herself being let go.She sighed in releif and got up."Thank you!" She said, in a sarcastic and exasperated voice.She calmed herself for concentration.She'd have to use the trick again, but if she kept it up, it wouldn't be very effective.Still, she didn't have much of a choice, so she just concentrated and sealed it up.She could tell most of them had no idea what happened.
Dragea felt her skin and noticed it was a little dry.The last time she was submerged by water had to have been at least a week ago."Look, I promise I'll come back, but if don't mind, I'd like to leave for an hour or so." She told Jack, receiving a wierd look."I will need my amulet back, too.Otherwise, I won't be able to get back." She told him, still getting the look.She didn't care, but she was given it anyway.As soon as he'd given it to her, she went direct to the water and dove.The people who were there thought she was crazy, but, once again, she didn't care.
She let her float to the water's surface and just lay there, motionless.She flipped over and went down to the floor of the ocean.It felt relaxing for some reason.She figured having the amulet for so long not only gave her the wings, but its behavior and instincts as well, but that was only theory.
After she felt satisfied, she had her wings spread as far out as they could possibly go and surfaced.She could hear that Jack wasn't very happy, but whatever to her.She flew back up and landed about a foot away."You can calm down, I'm over here..." Dragea said, sighing.As if he didn't trust her.Shouldn't it be the other way around? "What can you possibly do for an hour?" He'd asked, annoying her."Calm down, I said I'd come back and that it would taken about hour.Unlike half the people here, I don't lie." Dragea told him, turning from him, but into about a dozen swords.It was expected after what she'd said, but she only pushed them aside, while cutting herself somewhat, and walking away.
"Who does she think she is?" She could hear one person say.For others, it was more of a threat.Like, "She shouldn't say things like that, someone might find her neck detached from throat..." She just laughed loud enough for people to know she heard it.
“Ha! I’d love to see you even get a foot away from me without my knowing.” Dragea laughed.Even during the night, she could hear very far away because she would never go into a deep sleep.She heard someone coming up to say something, she could it was the one from before that had knocked her unconscious earlier during their fight. “Before you say anything, yes, you did manage it and to be honest, I don’t know what happened, but wouldn’t happened twice in one week.”

Chapter 6: The Family Reunion
“What happened was you aren’t used to cheating.” She heard Jack come up behind her. What annoyed her was that he put his arm on head. He was right, though.
“Get off me…” Dragea growled. He only laughed, making her push his arm off her. “You know, you’re very annoying.”
“What did you expect of him?” Will said, making her almost laugh. She hadn’t, though, she didn’t even smile.
“I guess that’s true.” Dragea teased, hoping to annoy him somewhat, though she wasn’t sure if it worked. “Even still, though. It wasn’t even that. Whatever…” She said, but then turned to see something that shocked her.
“R- Reozix!” She called out in concern. She flew over to a forest that overlooked the water. There was a man about the age of seventeen. His face was charred and his clothes were burnt. He was tangled up in branches and, though breathing, was in a coma-like state. Dragea started crying at the site. This wasn’t Zaorix’s doing, yet the braches were unnaturally tangled up.
“Thought you could fool us?” Dragea heard someone behind her say. It was the man from a while ago. The one she had tricked into taking a fake amulet. She got up as quickly as possible, braches came around her and entangled her similar to how Reozix was. She was completely trapped and couldn’t move at all.
“Just give it to us and we’ll let you both go…” He had told her, making her hesitate. She looked over in Reozix’s direction and turned away. ‘What should I do…’ she asked herself, coming unto a decision. “Let me go and I’ll hand it to you personally.” She said, making him let her go.
He knew she didn’t lie, but he hadn’t planned on her stretching the truth.Though, she did hand it to him, as soon as Reozix was free, she immediately took her hand and jab it in his stomach and as she did, there was a blade in her hand. The look in her eyes were a mix of guilt and sorrow. She took the amulet back off of him, knowing he could no longer go back on the deal either.She felt guilty about doing it that way, but she'd had very little choice.
Someone was coming up behind her, before she could think, she spun around, leaving her blade at the neck of Will.She blinked at the sight of him, but pulled back immediately."Um, sorry." She said, not realizing that he wasn't even looking at Dragea, but more at the guy she'd just killed and then to Reozix.
"Do you know him?" He'd asked, a little bit out of Surprise.She just looked at Reozix, a little in concern and a little out of wonder at which person he'd been talking about.She went over and tried to pick him up, but he was heavily.Still, she'd managed it.
"Yeah, he's my brother." She told him, trying to get him somewhere out of the open.If Zaorix found him, who knew what would happen."I have to get him as far away from Zaorix as possible." She said, wings spread as far out as possible and flapped to get altitude.She sent a sort of mental map to where she was going to go to both him and Jack."If you want to know where I am, that's where I'll be following that exact route, but I don't too many getting within the 5 miles of walking.If possible, I'd rather it just be you two that know about it." She told him, sort of threateningly and he shook his head in acknowledgement.
Dragea flew off into the distance, leaving them behind.She was going to a very secret training area that the three of them always were it.Despite it all, it was a sort of private religious sanctuary, meaning not many knew about it and she planned on keeping it that way, even Zaorix was strict about keeping it that way, which surprised her a little.The only one that lived there was a guardian dragon, which obeyed Dragea.She was releived to see it up in the distance.
"Jarava!" She called out and heard it roar in excitement as it flew over."Oh, man, Jarava.I missed you so much."
'What's happened to Master Reozix? What's been going on that you haven't come for three years?' Jarava asked, giving the question Dragea dreaded to answer the most. She looked away knowing she couldn't explain.It only sighed as it carried her brother off to a special room that sped up self-regeneration."Oh and I'm expecting a couple of people to be coming and I don't want you to let Zaorix in, do I make that clear?"
Jarava stopped where it was and looked in surprise at Dragea."Refuse to let a master in? Why?" He asked, not even thinking about what she said before that.Dragea growled at him."Just do what I ask, ok? Jarava!"
Shadows came up all around both her and Jarava.She hadn't heard them coming at all.She screamed as they trapped her in a way so that she couldn't move.Jarava was only caught by the feet, causing him to drop Reozix."Reozix!"
All of a sudden, she heard cruel laughter coming from beside her.Zaorix appeared from silent shadows.Her eyes widened in fear and then wanted to hit her head out of idiocy. 'Baka! Baka! BAKA!' She yelled at herself through her thoughts.She'd forgotten how deadly silent he could be over here. Her thoughts only made him smirk.
"Your stupidity is going to cost you. Both his and your lives." He said, in a very cold tone.She only bowed her head in anger towards herself, with her eyes closed.A tear ran down her eyes, knowing there wasn't anything she could do.

What had she just done? She'd sealed their fates through the stupid mistake of bring them to his territory.'BAKA!' She screamed at herself once more.She looked up only to see Zaorix was now right next to Reozix, gunblade ready to kill."Wait! Please... Don't do this!!!" She called to him.
