Chapter 30: Time Doesn't Last
( Armen's P.O.V )
The small dragon yawned.
"It's so adorable!" Mia exclaimed, her eyes brightening.
I smiled.
Grayson and the dragon made eye contact, the dragon's eyes full with curiosity and wonder. Grayson reached his hand out.
The dragon made no sudden movements, and allowed himself to be pet.
Grayson smiled.
"What are you going to name it?" Drake asked.
The dragon turned in Drake's direction, staring at him now.
Drake blinked. The small newborn came over to him and put its snout under his hand.
Drake chuckled and pet him.
"I'm not sure yet." Grayson answered.
"Well, we hatched it. What now?" Luke spoke up.
"We need to protect him." I responded.
"I know that part. Just, what now? What's our goal now?" Luke restated. We looked over at Drake.
"We heal you." Grayson, Mia and I jinxed.
"We don't know how though."
"But, we could always do like Armen said. Put it back on Him." Mia suggested.
"That'd be more of a challenge for us. It's too risky." Drake reasoned.
I looked back at the dragon.
"What if the dragon could do something?" I asked, looking around at everyone.
"It'd have to learn its abilities first Armen." Drake protested.
I groaned.
The dragon tilted his head to the side.
Grayson picked up the dragon with great care, holding him close.
"Maybe we should look around first." He suggested, looking at the hallway behind him. Mia stood up.
"I'll check the one to the right." She announced, petting the baby dragon before proceeding onto the pathway. Grayson stood up aswell, and went the opposite direction.
"I'll get rid of the remaining mercenaries alive." Luke stated, letting go of Drake's arm and going into his bag, pulling rope out.
"I'll go with Grayson. Drake, you go with Mia?" I questioned. He nodded and walked over to the right hallway, limping slightly.
I went over to where Grayson was. The second I entered the room, I stopped, dumbfounded, looking at what he was staring at.
I grasped my head in pain. The dragon and Grayson looked at me.
"Armen..?" He asked with worry written in his voice.
"My head..." Was all I could say, before I met with the ground.
Before I closed my eyes, I heard Mia say frantically,
"Drake?!"

( Drake's P.O.V )
I popped open my eyes, raising my head. I tried to move my limbs, but they were strapped down.
Canceler Chains.
Netherrack covered the room, the same iron door teasing me. It seemed no different then the room where Armen freed me from. The chains held down my legs and arms, holding me up in midair, nagging at my wounds, which began to sting. I heard a groan from behind me. My Ender ear drooped for a moment, and my shoulders perked up ever so slightly. I slowly turned my head, seeing the same jet black hair I always recognized. We were back to back from eachother.
Armen was in the same situation as me, being strapped down.
"Armen!" I called out to him.
"H-Huh? Drake?" He questioned before swaying around to me.
"What happened...?" I asked him. He blinked and looked around, his eyes looking as if they would pop out of his head. I raised an eyebrow.
"This room...I mean, I remember it, you were here not too long ago, but..." He looked back at me, looking over his shoulder.
"Why are we BOTH trapped?" He ended.
"I'm not sure."
"Could we be in another dreamworld?" He inquired to himself.
I jumped when I saw a silhouette quickly zip by the room.
"Armen..."
He looked over his shoulder again.
"What?"
"Did you happen to know that there were shadows here...?"
He raised his eyebrows.
"No..."
We both looked away from eachother and at the room.
A ripped hood the color black zipped around the walls, knocking off a bit of netherrack.
Armen and I jumped. It vanished in thin air.
( Luke's P.O.V )
I set down the last mercenary, tying their hands together tightly. I jumped down back into the room, and was speechless at what I saw.
Drake and Armen were unconscious on the floor and back to back from eachother, their heads resting on the other's shoulder. Mia was frantically searching through her bag, while Grayson was pacing around the room, the baby dragon on his shoulder, watching Drake and Armen in worry.
"W-What happened here?!" I piped up, running over to Drake and Armen.
"We don't know! They both passed out at the same time!" Mia informed me, taking out two bottles of regeneration. She tossed one to me, while popping open the top, giving it to Armen.
I opened the bottle and made Drake drink it.
"When did this happen?!" I inquired, urging for answers as my worry secretly grew.
"They had to do with the objects in the rooms we went in." Grayson spoke up. I stood up and stomped over to the left hallway angrily, bringing out my katana. I stopped.
A diamond floating on a platform made from stone stood.
Half sky blue.
And half blood red.
The red was gradually spreading throughout it.
I heard a clang. I froze and whipped around running back to the main room.
The diamond we found back in the temple was in the same condition. The dragon, now off of Grayson's shoulder, was snarling, its talons drawn out, and green spreading throughout its eyes, showing hatred.
Grayson stood there looking at it, and as was Mia.
Drake and Armen remained unconscious. I grit my teeth.
