More story

I have another part of my story done, for those who have been reading it. I finally have had time to write it up. Enjoy!



Part 3

We decided that flying would be better than walking though the woods, but Griffen, Mathyus, Kalob didn’t know how to fly. So instead of leaving the village right away, Jess and I gave them lesson. So as we started the lessons, Horitori said goodbye and left for his empire.
Jess had the guys in the field. I saw Horitori saddled up onto his horse. I parted from my friends to say goodbye.
“Horitori....., wait,” I called. He looked down from his horse. I rose up slightly so that I could look at his face. “Thank you,” I said giving him a hug. He smiled as I let go. He turned his head and squeezed his horse’s flanks. He disapeard into the woods.
It didn’t take long to teach them how to fly. And in no time we were ready. At midday we took flight.
I was so excited to be going home. I knew that my mother was alive, and if there was any way to find her, it was to go back home. I felt a piece of her alive in myself. If she was gone, than that part would have withered away. But as we got closer to my home, my heart didn’t want to face what I would see. I knew the house wasn’t going to be the same as when I left.
The house was in shambles, the door pushed in. Landing in a heap, I lept up and ran towards the house but stopped at the door frame. Chairs were turned about, the table laid askew with a leg broken. Cubboards were open and the dishes were pulled out broken on the floor. Glass littered the floor. Picking my way through the mess, I made it to my mother’s room. She told me that if anything happened to her, to look under the chinese dragon. Her room was like the rest of the house; sheets and blankets pulled dresser drawers tipped over and clothes pulled out.
“Kel?” said Jess as he and the rest of the guys entered the house.
“Find a chinese dragon,” I said as I began to search frantically.
“A chinese dragon?” asked Kalob.
“My mother said that if something happened to her, that I was to look under the chinese dragon,” My hair flew as I bent up and down trying to search through the items scattered on the floor.
A golden glint caught my eye. In the corner of the room was a golden figureen. It was under a tipped drawer.
“Someone help me lift this up,” I said. “ I see something,” Griffen, Kalob and Jess pulled the drawer up.
Then reaching back, I pulled out a golden chinese dragon. It was a ring my mother wore on a chain. Turning it over I inspected its inside. An engraving said To a love so spirited. The rest was rubbed to much to read except for four letters igBr
“To a love so spirited igBr,” said Mathyus.
“What’s inBr?” asked Jess who I had handed to ring to.
“If we can figure out what letters are missing than I think I will be able to understand what it means,” I said.
“Cleanasio,” I whisperd. The room put itself back together. I continued with the rest of the house until it was all back in order.
I left the guys in the house and went into the barn. The barn was all together. All the animals were gone, but at least the building was still entact.
“Mew, mew,”
“Strawberry?” Strawberry came out of the straw. “My baby. You’re safe now. Hey what do you have in your mouth?” It was a picture of my mother with my grandfather on their mountain home. “That’s it,” Scooping Strawberry up, and putting the picture in my pocket, I ran back to the house.
“I lnow what the ring says,” I said excitedly. “ To a love so spirited is my mother being compared to her mountain home. Grandpa used to tell me about how my mother was as spirited as the mountaind. The lettering spells Big Bear. That’s what she called him when she was little. My mother is telling me to go to my grandfather in the mountains,” They all stared at me.
“You figured this out how?” Griffen asked.
“ This,” I took the picture out from my pocket showing it to him. “Stawberry had it in her mouth. Stawberry gave a mew.
“But where is this place? asked Mathyus.
“Mother said she lived in a velley between two peaks. a pair of eagles she said staring and standing guard at the velley’s mouth,”
Not much of a clue,” said Kalob.
“She never told me any more in case someone else should come to know,” I said.
“Then I guess that we should find out more about the mountains that look like a pair of eagles staring and standing guard,” Jess said.
