Chapter 32 - Spell
The dragon's eyes turned red and its heart started beating violently, it was experiencing horrible pain and the last thread of willpower was exhausted causing it to growl loudly.
The dragon growl startled the siblings and before they reacted it started flying aimlessly by shaking its body violently.
Ronald who was startled regain his sense and shouted "Ivy, hold tight"
The growls of the dragon become louder and louder attracting the others. Cayden, Simon and Bratton sensed the danger and became alert and reached near it. Doctor Adam remained in Drayce Mountains as he needed to look after the patient.
'Sh*t, What is happening?' Cayden cursed himself and went towards them with full speed.
"Ronald, try to land the dragon," Simon shouted while revolving around the dragon to make it stop.
"I am trying dad. It is not listening" Ronald shouted back.
Ronald held its spikes and tried to make it slow down but whenever he touched the dragon to stop it by pressing the acupoint it became aggressive and roared.
If the dragon slows down and if it is a few feet away from the ground they can make it unconscious but they are so many feet away from land. If they do that both of them will die and the dragon will be injured heavily.
Ivy who was happy till the last second suddenly shuddered by the turn of events. Her brain stopped working and her body became rigid.
She felt like her head was spinning, but Ronald's shout brought her senses back. She observed her surroundings and understood something was happening with the dragon. She felt the pain in its growls.
Ivy immediately lied on her stomach and started listening to its pulse. Her head is spinning due to its mindless fly but she concentrates hard and clasps tightly around its body and tries to soothe it.
"Shh.. It will be alright. Don't worry. The pain will go away eventually." Ivy started patting its body with her both hands soothing it's heart. Ivy felt the pulse of it, it is abnormal and its skin colour is also becoming dark.
'Someone poisoned it' Ivy came to a realisation.
But suddenly it started roaring again, causing ivy to break out from her thoughts. Ivy understood it was in pain. She tried to comfort her but she saw Ronald trying to take control of it which resulted in intensifying the pain of the dragon. It is the method they were trained to slow down the dragon, he has to press some acupoints to make it slow.
"Brother. Don't try to control it." Ivy shouted.
"Ivy, we need to control it. Then only it will slow down" Ronald said and his voice is trembling not because something happened to him but to Ivy.
"No, it is poisoned. If you try to press its acupoints the poison will reach its heart. It will be dangerous." Ivy explained and caressed the dragon to soothe its pain.
"What?" Ronald's eyes widened with shock.
"Yes, Brother. Trust ME'' Ivy eyes are blazing with fire to save the dragon.
One side of his heart is telling him to trust his sister but another saying is giving warning to him that she is not aware of the dragons and it will only result in disaster. But seeing the fire in her eyes Ronald eventually gave in and started mimicking her actions to soothe the pain of the dragon.
"It's alright. Slow down. I will save you." Ivy is repeatedly saying the words like a spell on the dragon and eventually its eyes become normal.
When Ivy thought that it had become slow but before she breathed a sigh of relief it's poison again kicked in causing it to roar in agony.
In a blink of an eye, it flipped in the air causing Ronald and Ivy to lose their control on the dragon and both of them started falling down from the dragon.
"IVY"
"DRAYCE AGOTH"
Ivy heard the two sounds before she saw the dragon stop in the mid-air. She feels like she is falling from the sky in slow motion but her last days she spent with her family are played like a slideshow.
'It is said that before we breathe our last breath our life will reveal itself in front of our eyes. I don't want to end like this. Please save me' Ivy prayed and a tear rolled from her eye.
Simon's heart started racing widely when he heard the roar of the dragon, when he went near them and the three of them started revolving around it to make it stop but it was not working.
He shouted at Ronald to land it but he was not able to do it. He loved his children dearly and he saw so many incidents like this but this time his heart didn't take it when he saw his own children were in danger.
His thoughts were broken when he heard the Cayden voice. His voice was also trembling and his gaze never left the dragon.
"Uncle, Dad. Listen. It seems Ronald is not able to control it. We don't have any option but to stop it by using our spell" Cayden shouted.
Even though they are revolving around the dragon his voice is reachable to them and they all have keen listening.
"But, it's dangerous," Bratton shouted.
"We don't have an option dad. If it flipped, uncle Simon and I would catch both of them. So don't worry. Please go and do it. The dragon is becoming vulnerable. Here is the chance" Cayden shouted back.
Simon didn't say a word as his eyes were filled with tears but he didn't want to break down in this situation. His children need his help.
"DO it Bratton. We will handle rest" Simon shouted.
Bratton thought for a second and nodded his head to do his work. Whereas Simon and Cayden lowered down to catch them. They have a hunch that it will flip but if it stops naturally then they will ask them to jump from there so they can handle the rest by giving anaesthesia.
Even though it will be wounded severely they don't have any choice left. With this in mind they are in their positions.
But before Bratton chanted the spell the dragon flipped causing their heart to drop to their stomach. They saw Ronald and Ivy falling down.
"IVY" Simon and Cayden shouted. At the same time Bratton chanted the spell.
"DRAYCE AGOTH"
