And no one had ever stayed at Ten's' before, not even Maria. At the thought of her he went into the Master bedroom, sat at the back desk an opened the pouch. “Maria? Are you still upset with me, I brought her to my place. You said somewhere safe. Will you please talk to me again?" When she refused to answer he sighed and placed the stone back in the pouch. Tying onto his belt. After a week. He tried again. Still nothing. How long would it before she spoke to him again? It became agonizing. He tended to the girls basic needs: cleaning her, changing her bedding, though there wasn't much to clean up as she did not soil the sheets other than sweating.
One evening he went to the study and watched her sleep, as he did so his heart felt like it was going to burst from beating faster. He reached out to touch her, she smiled at his touch. Maybe, just maybe….No! But maybe Maria was right, they needed to move on. He didn't want it to be so. Three weeks later the white one arrived at the Temple for meditation and study. “So where is she? Have you sent her away finely?" She said fiercely. “No, Luna. She is at Ten's'. So she may finish growing properly and to heal." Eka stated. “Why is she at Ten’’s? Why is she even still here?" Luna said heatedly. “Go, gather all your friends have them meet at Ten's early in the morning, then proceed to the village." Eka requested. “Why? There's no one there anymore, Luna said abruptly. She destroyed them!" “No, Luna she saved them, she saved them all. You will see what she has done for this world and the price it cost her." Eka instructed.
Briefly, she told Luna about the girl’s metamorphosis, and the fact she could die as could they all; if things weren't changed. By the look on Luna s' face Eka new she understood it to be serious. Now all that was left was to wait till tomorrow and see their reactions at what came to pass. The next morning all were gathered at Ten’’s place. All were nervous some were mad. The pink female warrior said “Tell me why we should came here again? She is a killer and a menace!" She stated. “You’re just pissed that someone stopped your hammer!" the one with spiked gauntlets chuckled. Luna told them all. "Just shut your mouths. I am merely following Kea’s orders, you want to tell her it was your fault this wasn't done?" Luna rang the doorbell. Everyone was quiet, shifting nervously.
“Who is it? “Ten' bellowed," What do you freakin’ need this early in the morning?" “We were told by Eka to come and get you and head for the village." “Why?" He asked exasperated. “That is what Eka ordered, so here we are." Luna sternly told him. “Okay, okay! But she is still down for the count, “Ten' wearily responded" she has not awakened in three weeks." “Eka said nothing about her, leave her with a guard spell. We need to go, now, “Luna spouted. After setting the spell Ten' stepped out. “Okay are we all ready now?" Luna asked briskly. “We’d best head for the village or Eka will have my head." By the time they got to the bottom of the mountain path they noticed it, sounds that should not have been there. Jett looked around at them. He raced up ahead then zipped back all aghast.
“THE VILLAGERS ARE BACK AND ACTING AS IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED!" Jett said, amazed. Everyone looked at each other with shock. All ran towards town with wonderment. By the time the group arrived at the Temple they were all excited and mystified. Eka greeted them. They all tried to speak at once telling her about the villagers. She raised her hand for silence. After they quieted she spoke space." I knew what was happening as it was happening, the only thing I was unsure of was how the flame would affect you. I am thankful it was a good outcome."
“She is a Dragasi-Hedrian. A Genasi that entered into exogamy with a Takhisis which is a five headed Dragon, each head being the color of one of the evil dragons (red, blue, green, black, and white). The result of that coupling is a Tiefling or Dragasi. It paired with a race mixed of Hedgehog and Seedrian a Hedrian. She is the end result, a Dragasi-Hedrian.” She proceeded to inform them of the history of the Dragasi-Hedrian of which she had already informed ten’. Eka finished with “before her parents could finish implanting the information into her memory cell into the living container, they were attacked and killed. The killer is familiar to at least one of you, Ten' and you others fought his soldiers.
“How do I know him? “Ten' queried of Eka. Turning solemnly to ten’, "He was the one who killed Maria, and now he is after her." Eka said talking of the girl." WHAT? WHY? “Ten' bellowed.” It's because of all the power lying dormant within her." Eka replied to him. Well normally her position and title would have been 'Stormlizard of the Bloodlust Clan.' All born into the Bloodlust clan are protectors, and given the title Stormlizard for Stormlizards are elite soldiers and protectors of the King and Queen. But because there was a different and new DNA added into her structure she is rare. She is one of only four born in her lineage. Every 4000 years one has born of a unique configuration. Her race is only 14,000 years old.
“Everyone and everything that comes into their life imparts information in one fashion or another. Information that will be stored in the memory banks dormant in the back part of the mind, to be passed on to the children that follow. Everyone was amazed, even Ten'. “How can we protect her?" They asked. Smiling Eka replied. "You won't be able to protect her alone, SHE will rescue this place from Cyeir." Eka informs them the girl will need their help. “How will a little one like her be our protector" Gizzmo asks. “That is a story for another day Gizzmo" said Eka.
After they left the Temple he went home and continued to care for the girl. Maria still hadn't talked to him. It been a long time. Trying again he called out to Maria, saying" I have been taking good care of the girl. She is doing well, unless you count the fact she hasn't woke up in five 1/2 months. I have to admit I have grown fond of her……" He trailed off. “MARIA, please I need to talk to you!" Still no response. Day after day he took care of the beautiful stranger. Ten' however was not taking care of himself. He was not eating properly nor sleeping well and it was only three weeks till the full Moon. The time for which he would need his full strength.
