Chapter 4 ISLE OF WYRM
Sera landed at the entrance of the great Cathedral on the Isle of Wyrm. She slowly made her way into the large opening where there were a couple of Dragons in conversation. One of the Dragons was Phoebe. Sera walked over to her sister and nodded to the other Dragon, Murdock. Phoebe looked at Sera for a moment and hesitated, “Sera?” Sera changed her form back to human. “Yes Phoebe, it is I. I am here because something horrible has happened.” Phoebe looked at Murdock then back at Sera. “Horrible?, What could be more horrible than my cookies being gone!? This big lummox here has stolen all my cookies and I fear he has eaten every last one of them!” “Phoebe, we have more to worry about than mere cookies! What has happened to you? Is this all you do and just hang out here and eat cookies and argue with other Dragons?” Have you forgotten what you are and where you come from?” Sera stopped short before she said another word. Of course she had forgotten, or if she hasn’t, she was very close to it. “Sera, yes, there is more I do than just sit around here. I did recently go to the local pub and just for a moment, I remembered what it is like to be in human form. There was a nice gentleman that was so very handsome, and I wanted a kiss. It was so wonderful! I had forgotten how wonderful feeling for a man can be! I didn’t stay in human form very long. I ran away and became Dragon again.” Sera looked up at her sister with her crystal blue sad eyes. “ My dear sister, you have no idea what you have done do you? I guess you have forgotten the ‘agreement’ along with your other memories. That is something we did not think of happening! You do know you are required to stay in Dragon form, you just don’t remember why. “No, Sera, I do not remember. All I know is that I am suppose to be a Dragon, but I didn’t think a short moment of being in human form would hurt.” Phoebe looked down at her sister with sad innocent eyes. Sera looked deep into Phoebe’s big green eyes and saw her soul and felt her sorrow. “Phoebe, I know it must be hard, and I will try to refresh your memory as best as I can. You gave me your memories to keep safe so they would not be forever lost. And so I remind you from time to time so this will not happen again. Sera went on to tell Phoebe of all that has come to pass and Phoebe hung her head low to her sister as she listened to all. “I am so very sorry Sera, yes, I do remember now why I am Dragon and should remain so. What I have done is signed the death warrant for our people. I have done a horrible thing. We must think of what we can do to fix this.” Murdock was close by listening to all that was said. He felt bad about the situation and slowly offered Phoebe some cookies with a loud belch. “Dig, I will do what ever I can do to help you and your people. Us Dragons have to stick together!” Phoebe bowed her head to Murdock. “I know Mur, you are a dear friend.” Sera looked around sensing something. “Aleck is coming. I had called out to him on my way here and he is close.” All three looked at the entrance of the Cathedral and in strolled the blue eyed handsome man. “Sera, you have been keeping secrets from me. Who is this handsome gentleman?” Phoebe shuffled closer to Aleck. “Down Girl, he is taken, or I should say his heart is spoken for. Aleck, this is my sister I told you of, Phoebe, and that is her friend Murdock. Phoebe and Mur, this is Aleck, my land partner and friend.” Aleck bowed to the pair of Dragons. “I am glad to finally meet you Phoebe, and you Murdock. Sera has told me much about you. It is my honor.” Phoebe snorted and said, “Not if you knew what I have done. That will certainly change your tune when you get a load of this my dear Aleck handsome man!” Phoebe started munching one of the cookies Murdock had given back to her. “Quiet Phoebe, I will tell Aleck what happened and it is not your fault, it is all part of that blasted curse!” Aleck looked blankly at Sera and thought for a moment, “I think I have a pretty good idea of what has happened here. You told me of the curse and I do not know why this has not happened already. Phoebe has really held on and done well so very long. It is our fault that we have not kept the memory fresh for her. Sure, you have her memories, but, it was a sure thing that she would eventually forget the reason she was to stay Dragon forever. The Darkness was counting on that, and we just let time slip to long without reminding Phoebe. At any rate, We cannot dwell on what has come to pass. We must rebuild and we must do something to lift this damn curse. There is no reason we should expect Phoebe to remain Dragon forever. Even though she does enjoy being the Dragon, she also enjoys the vampire feelings and experiences as well. We will find a way to kill the Dark presence. We MUST find a way! Phoebe offered Aleck a cookie and batted her eyes at him and licked him lightly. “Phoebe!, Stop flirting!” Sera rolled her eyes. “I cant help it Sera!, he is cute!” Aleck busted out laughing loudly and the rest joined in. The Cathedral at the Isle of Wyrm shook and it was not from an earthquake, it was from laughter. This work is the copyright of the author.
