Chapter 41: The Truth Revealed

I slowly woke up, and I felt very sick. I groaned and felt a strange taste fill the back of my throat.

'Derrick,' said Reflamen, 'Are you alright?'

I rolled over on what I now recognised as a bed. I managed to push myself up onto my feet, then immediatly sat back down, dizziness washing over me.

'What's going on?' I thought.

I heard movement outside, and Derrick came through the flap in what I now saw was a tent.

"Hey! Derrick!" he said, "You're awake."

I smiled grimly at him, then dry renched renched at the floor. 

"Hey are you alright?" he said, coming over to me and putting his arm over my shoulder.

"Yeah," I replied, "Just feeling a bit off."

Derrick nodded his head, "Yeah..."

He sat down next to me and waited for me to stop renching. Eventually I stopped, and sat up a bit straighter, feeling a lot better.

"Well thank goodness thats over," I said to Derrick with a smile, "I don't know what that was, but it has never happened before."

I stood up, Derrick next to me, making sure I didn't start yacking again. 

"Yeah, your right," said Derrick, "Maybe these battles are really getting to you. You were really restless during the last few hours of unconsciousness."

I stopped there, suddenly remembering what had happened during those last few hours. I started to panic slightly. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.

"Hey, is everything alright?" said Derrick for the second time.

I nodded again, "I need to talk to Rogan about something."

"Okay," said Derrick, "But don't you want to see your dragon?"

'Yeah, what about me!" said Reflamen, jokingly.

'Reflamen, now is not the time,' I said. 

I walked out of the tent, and started to walk towards where I knew Rogan's place was. It was a large tent, because his palace was still being built. He was still busy making plans about the outer villages and other cities in the country. 

I walked right up to the tent, Derrick trying to stop me. 

'Hey Reflamen,' I said, 'Think you could get here, I might need you with this.'

'Hey, I would,' he said, 'But I got the slight problem of a few broken bones, and a broken wing, so not much of a chance.'

'Thought so,' I said.

I closed my eyes and imagined Reflamen, sitting in the healers spot. I imagined a white light to suddenly surround him, then all his broken, fractured and dislocated bones healed, all at the same time.

'How about now?' I said.

I felt Reflamen's releaf. He stretched then yawned.

'Yeah,' he said, 'But straight afterwoulds me and you are going for a flight. We haven't done that for ages.'

I smiled, knowing how hard it is for a dragon to stay grounded for more then a few hours, 'Alright then, but we still need to get ready for the king.'

'Yep,' replied Reflamen, he suddenly laughed.

'What?' I said.

'You should see the look on the doctor's face!' said Reflamen, he sent me an image.

It was a human, dressed in leather clothes. He had a belt around his waist and a strange jar, filled with some sought of paste. He also had a very surprised look on his face, his mouth was open and the glasses he was wearing were hanging from one ear.

'Ha!' I said.

'Okay then, I'll be there in a few seconds,' said Reflamen.

He took off. I stood there, waiting for him to land. He swooped down and landed near us. Derrick looked at him in surprise.

"How...?" he said.

"It'll all be explained soon," I said, walking up to the guards.

The guards had been watching me for some time now

"What do you want?" One of them said.

"I want to see Rogan, I need to talk to him," I said, 'Call Lilly, Charole and Leivite will you, and also maybe Leo and his dragon as well.'

Reflamen nodded at my request.

"You mean you want to see the king?" said the guard, "No one calls him by his real name unless they know him personaly."

"I do know him personaly," I said, "I fought the king with him, the other king. I'm Derrick, rider of Reflamen."

"Derrick!" said the guard, "So your the kid who helped defeat the king, even managing to wound him."

I narrowed my eyes, "Don't call me kid, and yes, I did wound the king, and if he didn't have that shadow blade, I would have killed him."

The guards looked at me with surprise.

"Now, I need to see Rogan!" I said.

The guard nodded and opened the flap to Rogan's chamber, "You magesty! Derrick, rider of Reflamen, is here to see you!"

"Send him in!" yelled a voice. 

"You may see him now," said the guard. 

I nodded my thanks, then walked into the tent, after telling Derrick to stay outside to wait for the people Reflamen had called.

Rogan was sitting at a large table, with a whole bunch of other people around it. I assumed it was a meeting of some sought between all the other Resistance leaders and the leaders of other cities, besides Taknor. 

"Hello Derrick," said Rogan, smiling at me.

He looked a lot different now. He had a long purple cape on and a purple shirt, with red leggings. He also had a bandage over his head, with a crown resting on top of it. He had his sword by his waist and a tired look on his face.

"Hello Rogan," I said smiling, "Nice to see you up and about. How's Sophire doing?"

Rogan smiled back, "She's going fine, thank you. She woke from her coma this morning, and is now hunting. I haven't seen you in a while."

"Yeah," I said, "I know, but Rogan, before we get into this friendly chat, I need to tell you something."

"Hey kid!" said one of the leaders, "Why are you distracting the king? We are having a private convisation here. Now of you go. No offence your majesty but this is now time to catch up with nephews."

He directed the last part at Rogan. I narrowed my eyes at the person, he was staring at me with a sense of authority. I waved my hand it him and, with my imagination, incinerated his chair, making him fall to the ground, landing on his bottom in a pile of ashes.

"Don't, and I repeat, Don't, call me kid," I said.

Everyone gasped, except Rogan, who just shook his head and sighed, trying to keep himself from laughing. The leader, that I had used my magic on, looked at me with complete surprise. He nodded his head slowly.

"Good," I said, "Now that that's settled, everyone, get out of here, I need to talk with... his majesty, alone."

I smiled at Rogan. He smiled back.

No one argued and they all walked quitly out.

"Thank goodness your here," said Rogan, "I was begining to think I would never get out of there."

I laughed.

"Now, what do you want to talk about," said Rogan, leaning on the desk, "It better be important, becasue those leaders won't be very pleased with me if it isn't."

I nodded, all serious again, 'Reflamen, tell the others they can come in now.'

'Yep,' replied Reflamen.

"It is imortant," I said, "It involves Oreman, the evil king that Derrick killed."

"So that was his name," said Rogan, "I was wondering what it was, and I'm not even going to ask how you know that."

"Don't worry," I replied, "You'll soon find out."

The others walked into the room, Derrick, Charole, Leivite and Leo. 

"Can we get our dragons in here?" I said.

Rogan nodded and cast a spell at the roof, opening it. Derrick and Leo moved the table out of the way, making a room big enough for about three dragons. Reflamen, Lilly and Leo's dragon, Galactor, made there way into the room. We all crowded at the front to make room for the three dragons. 

"Okay Derrick," said Rogan, now that everyone was there, "What do you want to talk to us about?"

I looked around at the many people around me. Leivite raised his eyebrow and looked at me. I knew what he was asking and I slightly nodded my head.

"The king has returned," I said. 

Everyone looked at me in surprise, and Lilly growled in surprise.

"What?" said Rogan, "Where?"

I smiled at there reactions, imagining what they would be like when I told them exactly where the king was.

"But he didn't return to this world," I said, "He returned to mine."

Lilly growled in surprise again, and Leivite raised his eyebrow even higher.

"What do you mean?" said Derrick.

"I mean, I'm from a different world all together," I said, "Whenever I faint, I go back to that world for three days, then come back here."

Rogan stared at me, then burst out laughing, "Derrick, that is a really good joke."

When he stopped he looked back at me and saw that I was deadly serious.

"No Rogan," I said, "This is not a joke, and three people in this room know it."

"Really?" said Rogan, "Who?"

"Lilly, Leivite, and of course, Reflamen," I said.

Rogan looked over to the two dragons and Leivite, they all nodded there heads.

"Now, for how I got into this world," I said, "You all know that I have a wild Imagination, sometimes I even use it to cast spells. The first time I used it was when I was writing a... story, on a thing we have in my world called a laptop. A lighting strike hit the car, knocking me unconscious. At the same time a lightning bolt hit the carrage Derrick had been traveling in, blasting him off the road, but that same lighting bolt made me come here."

Derrick, Leo and Rogan nodded, trying to follow me. Galactor was on a total loss.

"Okay, now your going to find this hard to believe," I said.

"It isn't as though we are already finding it hard to believe," said Charole.

"The story I was writing," I said, "Was called 'The Forbidden Blade' and the main character was, Derrick."

I looked over at Derrick, waiting for his reaction. He looked at me, still absorbing the infomation.

"What?" he said.

"What I'm saying is, the book I was writing had all you characters in it," I said, "I knew the story line, the ending, the plot. I knew who were the bad guys and the good guys, I knew all the characters secrets, because I had basically made them up."

"Wait a minute," said Derrick, "You're saying that we are all just... characters in a book."

"Not anymore," I said, "I believe that I created this world, all the people, and the future, past and present. If you need proof I can give it to you."

I closed my eyes and imaginered my laptop to my hand. I opened it and tiped in my password, then opened up the word document I had used to tipe the story. Everyone was staring at the strange devise.

"Is that a... latop," said Leo.

"Laptop," I said, "And yes it is."

I face the screen towards them, "Read this."

They did. Charole looked at me in surprise, Derrick looked slightly nervous, Rogan was wide eyed, and Leo just gaped.

"So that's what happened," said Rogan, looking at Derrick, "I didn't know that was were you found the Forbidden Blade."

Derrick smiled, scratching his head, "Yeah."

Rogan turned back to me, "So that's how you knew all about us."

I smiled, "Yeah."

"I still find it hard to believe," said Rogan, sitting back in his chair.

"I can prove it," I said, "I can use my imagination to build your castle, or imaginere you a castle, as I like to call it."

"Okay then," said Rogan, "Show us."

I nodded and smiled, "Okay everyone, follow me."

We all walked outside. Rogan cleared all the workers from the building sight, then signalled me to go on. I nodded and closed my eyes, and started to imagine. I imagined the building sight, all the workers wondering what was happening, all the leaders standing with each other, talking, and glancing over to me. I then imagined a castle suddenly appearing out of no where. I didn't make it the same as the kings castle, rather it was more like one of thos medieval castles, except a lot more graceful.

The walls were made out of limestone, and reanforced with magic. Turrets were able to pop out of no where and fire at opponents, there were four towers and a large garden with magnificent trees.

I opened my eyes and looked towards Rogan. He was gaping at the castle, as if he had never seen anything like it before. He opened and closed his mouth, like a fish. He looked over to me, still gaping.

"How.." he said, "I didn't even feel a small release of energy."

"Because I didn't use any," I said, walking over to him, "All I did was imagine."
