10-Our home
Grace saw her uncle and Damon giving her weird stares.
She looked at the fireball she summoned with a surprised look.
"Uncle! Damon! Look! I can make it! I can save you guys! Grace will now be able to protect all of you."said Grace with a bright smile
Ron and Damon were both shocked that Grace was not afraid of that huge fireball that she had just casted.
"Grace, I think it's better if you cast your magic away. You can just imagine it disappearing."said Ron
Grace imagine that the fireball disappeared.
The fireball in her hand slowly vanished.
"Grace, you are truly a genius, the girl with unlimited amount of mana, the girl who has affinity to all of the elements and the girl who casted magic with just a single try. I, your uncle am so proud of having this talented beauty as my sweet adorable niece."said Ron as he hugged her tightly
Grace looked at her uncle and also hugged him tightly.
Grace saw that the sun has already began to shine brightly.
She remembers that Damon and her uncle haven't rested at all. So she tells them to rest.
"It's okay, Grace. I think it's better to return to our home. This place is actually near our home. This is the Flame mountain. This mountain is known as the flame mountain because this mountain is filled with strong fire elements creatures.
There is a legend about this mountain. Once upon a time, before the great war with the demon world. This place was the home of flame dragons. The flame dragons were the Goddess Gaia beloved messengers. The guardian of our family is related to the flame dragon. The story is about Arusha and
Blaze the great dragon.
Arusha's parents died while they were going through this mountain. The little girl was just a newborn baby. The flame dragon noticed a small baby girl crying. When the dragon approach her, the baby girl stopped crying. Her emerald eyes shone brightly and she smiled.
The flame dragon found her to be cute. It was curious and decided to keep her because of her eyes that reminded him of emerald gems. As he started to take care of her, he got attached to her. It decided to protect her from any harm. The flame dragon blessed the little baby girl. Her black hair turned red. The baby girl called him her father.
The baby girl, whose name is Arusha is our ancestors. it's because of her that we are blessed by the flame dragon's protection. The prove of her existence is our red hair. The daughter or son of the Hayes family will have red hair. The heir's children will definitely be born with red hair. Your mom and me are the prime examples. If I get married my children will also inherit red hair but because your mom married outside, so you wouldn't inherit red hair, but you will still receive the blessings of the flame dragon."said Ron
"So uncle what happened to our ancestor?"asked Grace with curiosity
Ron smiled and explained"Our ancestor fell in love with a knight. The knight was the Duke of South. His and Arusha's story is well known throughout the kingdom. I will inform you about this story some other day. For now, let's go home."
Grace eyes became teary.
"Home..."mumbled Grace
Damon went towards her and hugged her.
Ron also hugged them both.
"Grace, your grandmother and grandfather will be delighted to see you. They will love and care for you. Let's go home."said Ron with a gentle tone.
Ron carried Grace and told Damon to follow him.
Within 3 hours, they began to see a city gate.
"You highness, you are back."said a handsome man with brown hair and eyes
The handsome man with brown hair and eyes had a glimpse at the little girl and the wolf like creature.
"Robert, go quickly and make arrangements for a little girl."ordered Ron
Robert bowed before him and said"Yes, your highness. I will make arrangements asap." Then he went to the guards and ordered"Open the gates! Our Duke has returned!"
Robert quickly arranged a carriage for Ron. He also quickly arranged clothes for the little girl.
Grace was a bit scared so she hid behind Ron.
Before they knew it, they had already arrived in the castle.
The castle was huge, rustic and beautiful. It felt like a castle from a story book came to live.
Damon found the castle to be okay. He believed that his castle was better.
There was a couple standing in front of the gate, the man had red hair and emerald eyes. The woman had black hair and eyes. The couple were both very attractive, they looked to be middle aged.
"Ron, my son, you are back. Is there any news about her?"asked the beautiful woman
Ron shook his head and said"Although mom, I couldn't find her but I did found a clue. I'm sure even mom will be surprised to know about it."
Ron took Grace hands and introduce her to his parents.
"Mother, Father, she is Grace, our princess's daughter. Grace, these are your grandparents. This will be your new home in the future."said Ron with a huge smile
The parents looked shocked by what Ron had just said.
They look at Grace and they both began to cry.
They hugged Grace tightly and said"My baby, we are so happy to know about you. Thank you for existing. We are so happy to be able to know you. My dear granddaughter. Welcome home."
Grace looked dumbfounded for awhile until she heard the words home.
"I'm home."she said as her tears began to fall.
Damon and Ron looked at the reunion between the granddaughter and her grandparents. They were both touched by this reunion.
Damon looked at the scene longingly.
He misses his past when his family were together.
