26 Drayce Mountains
In the palace, a large and extravagant room, the king is seated in the comfortable bed leisurely smoking and drinking his favourite wine.
"Your Majesty, Gavon is in the capital city and he didn't pay a visit till now. Do you want me to send someone to invite him?" Calvin politely informed Gabriel.
Gabriel sipped his wine and asked "Calvin, how many years have you been working for me as my personal advisor?"
Calvin perplexed by his sudden question but informed "It's been more than 30 years, Your Majesty"
Gabriel nodded his head and inquired again "From how many years have you been looking at Gavon?"
"From 21 years, Your Majesty," Calvin answered.
Gabriel inhaled the smoke and released it to form circles in the air before replying "So, you are observing him from his childhood. Still you didn't understand him?"
Calvin dropped his head down without saying anything.
Gabriel stood up and walked towards Calvin and said "He will come. If not, there will be punishment and he knows it well. Unless.."
Gabriel raised Calvin's head by his chin and said "Unless you want to save him and protect him from punishment. Are you planning that?"
Calvin's eyes trembled with fear and immediately shook his head before replying "No, Your Majesty. I never do that. I am loyal to you only."
Gabriel's eyes shone and nodded his head "Good. Unless you don't want your head to roll down."
Gabriel released his chin and wiped his hands with cloth as he touched something filthy. Calvin's eyes didn't show any emotion as he is accustomed to this kind of treatment.
"Where is Aaron and Andrea?" Gabriel inquired about his children.
"Your Majesty, Prince and Princess went to visit Drayce Mountains," Calvin reported.
Drayce Mountains is the Dragons residence, the place is maintained by Dragon Keepers and Dragon Controllers. Keepers are in charge of their protection whereas Controllers are responsible to train them and make them useful for rides without any harm to riders.
"Okay. Keep an eye on them to not make anything stupid and cause troubles to the Controllers and Keepers" Gabriel gave his command.
"Sure, Your Majesty" Clavin said and left the room along with Gabriel to attend the Court.
Drayce Mountains are one of the most magical places in the Krayton Kingdom. There is a huge lake in between surrounded by tall mountains, the magical part of the place is the four different mountains surrounding the Drayo lake. Snow, Rock, Green and Dome Mountains.
The people in the kingdom used to say that this place consists of four seasons. Green Mountains represent the rainy season, Snow Mountains symbolize the Winter season, Rock Mountain defines the Autumn season and Dome mountain illustrates the Summer season.
It is a wonder till now how those different looking and different temperature mountains are in one place. But the people strongly believe that Dragon God created those for Dragons, hence that place is solely dedicated for Dragons.
Two mighty White Dragons landed in the middle of the mountains near the Drayo lake. White Dragon's are facing the Green Mountain, and behind it there is a Snow Mountain. To its left there is a rock mountain and to it's right it is Dome mountain.
A person who is wearing White Shirt designed with golden buttons gets down from the dragon. The sword is tied to his waist and his Amber eyes are scrutinizing the surroundings. While he was observing the area a girl came and stood beside him.
"Brother Aaron, Why is there no one present here? Are they not aware of our arrival?" a coquettish voice inquired.
"It seems these people are not afraid of their Prince, Andrea" Aaron's mesmerizing yet cold voice stated.
Andrea is wearing a lavish pink gown and her hair tied in a neat bun gives her a fresh and harmless look. Her amber eyes clearly showed the displeasure for not getting any attention.
Before they moved a group of people came towards them hurriedly and kneeled before greeting "Greetings to the Prince and Princess of the Great Krayton Kingdom"
"I thought your respect for us is a bit late. Isn't it?" Aaron's cold voice inquired.
"Apologize to Your Royal Highness. We didn't get any information of your visit and also we are in the middle of taming the dragon" Glen the head of the soldiers informed.
"Tsk. Reasons." Aaron scoffed.
"Brother, let it pass. It is not their fault as we came uninvited." Andrea tugged her brother's sleeve and after that looked at the soldiers who were in a kneeling position.
"You all, Rise" Andrea sweet and melodious voice ordered and the soldiers all sighed with relief.
They all looked at Andrea as their life saviour.
"I am letting it pass as my sister requested. Don't repeat it next time." Aaron chided.
"Thank you, Your Grace, Your Royal Highness. We will be careful" Glen said politely.
"Where is the dragon? Take me there" Aaron ordered.
Glen looked at him with a troubled face and his face filled with fear, "Your Highness, It is not safe for you to come there. It is really not in good mind and we sent a message to General Bratton."
Aaron scoffed and his voice filled with rage "What do you mean? Do you know who I am? I am a Drackston and yet you are doubting my ability?"
Glen shivered and hurriedly explained " Apologize to Your Royal Highness, my intention is not that. We don't want any harm near you. That is my top most priority and we are here to take care of these small matters."
Andrea who is silently watching beside now entered to save the poor soldier from her brother wrath. She has a habit of getting praise from others and she wants everyone's eyes on her.
"Why don't you just let us near the dragon. We will give it a try as you said you are there to protect us right. Then there is nothing to fear. Lead the way" Andrea said with a smile. If anyone who listens to her for the first time will become fools and fall into her sweet trap.
Glen looked at the princess and scoffed in his mind 'What wrong with these people? Even if they are descendants of Drackston's doesn't mean they can control it and tame it. They have an ability to just summon the dragons. And what is this brainless princess talking about, if they are in danger we need to sacrifice our lives'
"Brother what do you say?" Andrea asked sweetly.
"Yes do that, '' Aaron stated firmly.
"Please follow me, Your Royal Highness" Glen left with no choice but to take them into the cave where they place the dragons.
