"Aithusa do you know where Merlin,Meredith and Lexia are?" I say as I climb onto the dragon who is just big enough to have me ride on him. "They were heading west, I saw them as I was flying over to help you." The dragon says in a calm soft voice making me feel oddly nervous but powerful. "You ready?" I ask and the dragon nods his head. "Then let's go save my friends!" I yell and Aithusa takes flight, it takes a moment for me to get used to it but I soon am able to sit stably on the dragon. "I just hope Merlin was able to keep the Earth stone and everyone else safe." I whisper but try to shake the thought.

"This must be their camp." I whisper to Aithusa and the dragon lands in a clearing not to far away from the camp. "Alright you stay here and I'll call you if I need help." I say a Aithusa nods his head and I brush my hand across his back and swear I see him become a little less crippled but I ignore knowing I need to get to my friends. I walk through some trees and see a small fire burning as dusk is quickly approaching. "You can do this."I whisper  do myself then I place my hands on the ground and breath out calmly and suddenly the ground begins to shake but I keep myself still. I walk into the camp and see all the soldiers trying to get there balance back on the shaking ground. "Who are you?" A large man who looks to be the leader of the group asks and I stare directly at him and begin to walk in his direction. I stand only inches from his face then I whisper, "Someone you don't want to get in the way of." I then knock all of them to the ground where they all fall unconscious. I walk into the leaders tent and find Meredith sitting there along with four or five other people trying to stop herself from shaking. I place one hand on the ground and inhale. Meredith stares in disbelief as the earthquake ceases to exist. "H-How?" She says in a shaky voice but I shake my head. "I'll tell you later but I need to know where Lexia and Merlin are so we can leave before the slave traders wake up." I say and she nods. "They're over here." She says then leaves the tent and I follow her. I hear running footsteps and see all the people from the tents running into the woods,hugging each other or staring in disbelief at the slave traders laying knocked out  on the ground. I look and see Merlin and Lexia walking out of a tent on the far side of the camp trying to figure out what's happening, when they see Meredith and me they run over. Lexia hugs me as soon as she teaches us and Merlin just stands a couple feet from us and smiles obviously surprised that I was able to get everyone out. "That surprise earthquake must have helped." Merlin says and I laugh. "Yes, the surprise earthquake." I say then I call Aithusa and Merlin just stares at me like he can't believe what I'm doing. "How do you know-" he begins to say but is cut off by Aithusa landing right I front of us. "Thanks for helping me get here." I say and I see Merlin staring confused as he try's to figure out what's happening while Lexia and Meredith stand frozen and scared. "It's alright climb on." I say as I climb onto the dragons back. Merlin does the same and so do Meredith and Lexia, very slowly. "Where does Lamar live?" I ask Merlin and he just stares for a moment but soon answers. "At the base of the dark mountain ." He says and I try to keep the smile on my face. "Then to the dark mountain we go!" I yell ad Aithusa slowly flaps his wings and heads towards the dark mountain.
