Chapter two
"Master I found out one of their weaknesses." Icebreath said excitedly.
"Oh really, tell me." Zorzon said absentmindedly.
"The green dragon Felix has a deep wound on his back leg. He is super sensitive and grunts if you just touch it."
"Great."
Icebreath looked deflated at the lack of enthusiasm his master was showing. He buzzed off and disappeared.
"Zap!" Zorzon called.
A big blue dragon landed on the balcony just outside the door. It stuck its head into the throne room.
"Zap, we need to go the Hole of Holem." Zorzon said.
He pulled himself up unto the dragons back and it took off. They flew through the mass of towers and soon came to a deserted place. In the middle was a hole. The hole went through the ice and down into the deep, murky waters below.
Zorzon hopped off of Zap, grunting as he landed. He ran to the hole.
"Holem!" He shouted.
Down from the hole came the sound of water moving. A Minotaur made of water came out of the opening.

Klike and Felix walked slowly down the street. They passed the giant oak where the fairies had little apartments. They also passed the market and the chiefs hut. Ahead of them was a mountain. There was a dark cave which would lead them to an underground cavern. Klike entered with Felix right behind him. They wandered down the dark tunnel passing secret chambers in the wall made for storing food during famine or war. The tunnel sloped downwards and soon opened up into a deep cavern.
The cavern was full of giant blue crystals that reached from bottom to top. On the blue crystals were smaller blue diamonds. The diamonds were full of ice power and had been discovered by the chief long ago. The diamonds swirled light blue and dark blue making strange shadows on the wall from the light within them. Sitting on a crystal was a small man.
He had small charms on his arms and was holding a long stick with runes scratched on the sides.
"Excuse me?" Klike said.
"Yes what is it." He replied in a grumpy tone.
"I heard you were a healer so I came to ask you if you could heal this wound on my dragon."
The man slowly moved forwards. He peeled off the bandage and inspected the scar.
"This wound is deep and may be infected, but fear not I think I have something I can give you." He said.
The man took a bag off his belt and rummaged through it. He pulled out a small bottle filled with a clear liquid. He pulled off the cork and poured a drop on the wound. It sizzled and burned for a minuet before sinking down.
"Put one drop on every morning."
"Yes sir."
Klike turned around and went back up the tunnel. He blinked as he came into the light. Loud shouting reached his ears. A angry mob was headed up the street. Klike heard shouts of.
"TRAITOR!"
"Put him in jail!"
"AWAY WITH HIM!"
He ran to a man.
"Whats wrong?" He asked.
"We found the traitor." The man answered before running away.
Klike and Felix flew above the crowd. They looked in the middle. There was the traitor.
It was Gwayn!

The Minotaur rose until it was twice the size of Zorzon. Zorzon looked into his eyes. He was the ocean king and Zorzon and him shared a special relationship.
"Zorzon." He cried happily.
"Good to see you to, Gelbator."
"What brings you out here? I haven't seen you in ages."
"I came to ask you a favor."
"Oh?"
"Could you help us attack the woodland region?"
"Oh." Gelbator scratched his chin. That was a tough one. "I don't know." He mumbled.
"Oh, come on, help a friend out."
"I normally would but a war isn't just a favor. Its asking me to sacrifice my men for you to get more power."
"You can pick a small place for yourself."
"Fine, I choose the bay and the river that leads into the forest. That means I get all the pools and rivers there."
"Agreed."
Gelbator sank back down into the water. A spray shot twenty feet into the air as he submerged. Zorzon stepped back as the water splashed around him. Zap waited while he climbed unto her back.
"To the arena." He commanded.
"Ok." She replied.
Zorzon shivered while she spoke. Ice dragons had a way of speaking that caused you to shiver. They flew towards the arena. It looked like a Colosseum with different levels for fighting. It was where all the warriors practiced all the movements. They landed in the center of the top floor.
The warriors all stopped and bowed. He nodded and they continued to fight. He watched as they practiced. There was no doubt that they were all in good shape. The battle might turn out well after all.

Klike stared in surprise. Gwayn was the messenger and he got all the secret news. It was easy for him to learn things that no one else knew. He was the perfect spy.
The crowd shouted insults at him as two guardians led him away. Klike went over to the overwhelmed chief. He stood there with a dangerous look in his eyes.
"I trusted him with all the tribe secrets."
"I know."
The chief didn't answer. He turned and walked towards the prison. Klike followed the chief. The chief gripped the bars of the prison so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He stared with hate at Gwayn. Gwayn looked ashamed.
The chief stood still for a moment before marching away. Klike followed him for a moment before grabbing his finger in shock. Ice formed around his thumb, Klike looked around a streak of blue zipped into the forest. Klike knew it was a ice enemy. They knew that their spy was captured. They would attack.
Klike ran to find the chief. First he looked in the chiefs hut but it was empty. He ran through the town searching for him. Finally he went to the library. A man was sitting behind a pile of books.
"Excuse me?" Klike said quietly.
The man looked up. It was the chief.
"Chief,I need to talk with you. A ice dragon was watching while we put the guy in prison."
"I thought so."
"They might attack and-"
"Klike." The chief interrupted.
"Yes?"
"I looked through the complete history of our tribe. I found something that may help us."
"What is it?"
"My father made a peace treaty with the fire tribes chief. They agreed to help each other in times of need."
"And?
"I need you to go and talk to the fire chief and tell him we need his help."
"When?"
"Now."
"Ok."
