One year for" DragonHeart " soon !!! ( August 13th UwU)

---------------

The volcano stood in front of her, hiding between the roots of the black trees and covered with ashes, the tiny LightFury had eyes wide, frightened.

- I should never have come here ... She whispered

But she had no choice, it was the only place where the power of the Galgis would be ineffective. This other trollagon had assured her during her escape; Here, she could not forget her friend.

"Oh Blue, I miss you so much ... what's going to happen now?" She thought, shaking as ever as a disturbing sound caught her attention.

*

Branch awoke with a gasp.

It took him a moment to realize he was on hispillows on the ground ​​in his bunker. Letting a sigh of relief escape from his mouth, this nightmare of volcano still haunted him except he saw Claws attack his village and devour trolls and dragons ... he stretched like a cat before leaving for the kitchen on all fours. If Kitten had seen him, he would surely have laughed at this bad habit.

The gray troll was not very hungry, he grabbed an apple before going outside, taking his scarf. He opened the door and the cold wind of January woke him up completely.

Branch was thinking a green ball of fur was going to jump on him, but surprisingly Kitten was not there. He shrugged and headed for the big oak clearing. Normally, he would have smiled at the thought of knowing he was going to find there, but the recent discovery of the meaning of his nightmare prevented him from feeling safe.

Claws was still there, and he wanted to attack the Troll Forest ...

'' How to prevent them? '' Branch was asking '' If I tell them, my secret will not be one for a long time ... ''

Then he had to find another possible solution: Hairless had to warn Poppy.

But he had try, he could not make her understand. He had even tried to draw what he wanted to tell her, and she had thought it was the game that had united them.

- I must not give up ... I must warn them of the danger ...

Soon, he saw the oak, Poppy was sitting in the snow, her back against the tree and drawing in the snow: she was drawing much better than her dragon, it was a fact.

- Hey, Princess, he greeted her.

Since time, the discomfort was passing. Branch had met her in the village with the SnackPack and they had asked if they still had defense classes together. What Branch said was "Uhhh ...." before Poppy, not wanting to talk about what was happening on, said, "Branch is a great teacher and friend! "She had said with a smile embarrassing him, it had broken his heart, but he had not let it appear. On the other hand, what he didn't know was that Poppy had said friend because she thought it was what Branch wanted, that this simple kiss had been an accident: she didn't know he was crazy in love with her.

- Hey, Branch! She greeted him back, what are you showing me today? She asked, getting up.

She was still wearing his scarf, which made Branch lightly blush in addition to the little jewelry she had made: she had put Hairless' crystal gift on her HugTime bracelet, next to the pink flower, it was really beautiful. The trollagon took out two wooden swords from his hair:

- Sword fighting, what do you think about that?

Normally, the Poppy he knew would jump in joy knowing that she was going to learn something new, but she frowned:

- I don't want to attack you, she says sincerely while he gave her the sword.

- Come on, I know how to defend myself, he reassured her.

He put his sword on the ground and leaned against the oak, arms crossed. Poppy still didn't move.

- Attack me.

- I'd not attack you, she said simply, she rubbed her cheek nervously and look at the ground, the scar of the night of their meeting as Branch was a NightFury was hidden behind her hair. (Yes, when Creek attacked Hairless, do you remember? Hairless hurts her on her face unwittingly)

Branch can't help but find her cute somehow, she did not want to hurt anyone, not even the grumpy gray troll in front of her or the dragons. He had understood it well: she didn't imagine that she was attacking Hairless with the sword and it was making her nervous.

- Come on, I just want to teach you some techniques ... everything will be okay, he smiles sweetly

This smile was magical, so beautiful and rare ... it calmed her immediately and after a moment of hesitation, she raised her sword to try to trap him against the trunk of the tree. But without understanding what was happening, Branch slipped on the side, grabbed the wooden sword and pinned the princess against the tree like this Halloween night, his strong arms keeping her agaisnt the tree:

- First lesson, dodge, he says with a teasing smile.

- Do you mean like that? She asked with a laugh

- Like this? repeated Branch, yet you're still trappi ...

But before he can finish, Poppy used her sword, pushing him away effortlessly and holding her sword against his own. Branch had teeth clenched so much he was concentrating as their swords caught each other and hit each other. Then, without understanding what was happening, Branch blocked a last attack with his hair before bringing her back against his chest, the two swords against her belly. Poppy blushed, her reminded him of that winter beautiful night ...

- You got me, she laughed as the warm breath of Branch hit her neck, made her blush.

- Okay, I'll show you how to escape from this posi .... Did you hear that?

She turned her face to him, frowning: Branch's unhurt ear was straightening, even though he was almost deaf of one ear, his hearing was still sensitive.

- What? She then asked that Branch leave the two swords so she could "escape"

Branch motioned her to be quiet, Poppy looked at him as his unhurt ear turned in all directions, trying to locate the sound he had heard. The pink troll had to start worrying slightly, what could it be?

- Come ! He suddenly exclaimed and ran off to the right.

- Branch, wait for me!

But he had disappeared, she followed the way he had taken, fortunately, his footprints in the snow allowed her not to lose him in the vegetation, there were even marks of his hands, but she didn't think that Branch might have gone on all fours.

She suddenly heard what had made Branch so nervous, it looked like children laughing ... in a strange way, then suddenly a cry of pain:

- Oh no ! Poppy exclaimed, speeding up.

Then she saw Branch, he seemed to be frozen by something he had seen. Poppy turned her gaze to what he was looking at, she put her hands on her mouth:

- Kweird ! Kweird ! Kweird ! Cliff exclaimed laughing, two other little young trolls laughed behind him, they had not yet noticed Branch and Poppy.

The poor blind little troll could no longer understand where he was, he had lost his bearings. He was trying to escape, but he stumbled on a root and fell into the snow. Branch felt a strange feeling come in him: he had to protect this little one.

- Hey! He screamed, Cliff and the other two children noticed them and shouted in surprise at the gray troll

the troop froze for a moment, Branch looked at them angrily.

- Leave him alone ! He growled.

Poppy could not see his face, his power was unleashed to his advantage without him being able to control it, his dragon eyes appeared as if to urge them to leave, the little red troll uttered a cry of terror:

- Run for your life ! Exclaims Cliff, running away.

The other two followed quickly, the gray troll immediately rushed towards Keith, Poppy followed him. The child was so reassured that he was saved that he threw himself into Branch's arms crying, which surprised Poppy; everyone knew Branch was not a fan of cuddles, but Keith seemed don't care like her.

- He took me here ... and he told me that if I was blind, it was not to see how ugly I was! And how I was a monster! He sobbed, tightening his embrace around Branch's chest.

Poppy felt her heart break when she heard this, she swore she would force Cliff to wash Oxy's mess for a whole month after what she had just seen. She was surprised when Branch wrapped his arms around the little troll and rock him gently against him. We can thought to see two brothers:

- It's okay, it's over ... He will not hurt you anymore, never again, I promise you!

Keith's tears finally stop, to Poppy's surprise, the gray troll whistled a lullaby. Of course, it was not singing but it was surprising come from him. If he would have been Hairless, he would surely use his thorns but here he couldn't.

Then, feeling completely safe, Keith fell asleep in Branch's arms, his cheeks were stained with tears but he was not crying anymore.

- Let's get him back to the village, Poppy murmured so as not to wake him.

As he walked towards the village, Branch watched Keith sleep in his arms.

He understood how this little one felt, he felt close to him because he knew what he was going through: he too had been often rejected by his family, and he always was just because his wings was deffirentes...

But have deffirentes wings doesn't mean you can't fly.
