Chapter 1 The Meeting

After the last dragon had hatched and made its way into the world, Chance called a meeting of all the Ambassadors, the village elders, and some of the other villagers who had high standing in their little village. The meeting was to take place in the Great Hall the next morning to discuss their new found friends, and what CC had said to Nym when she first hatched,

What did CC mean? by her words?

"We are special dragons, and we are here for you and your friends, because you will need us soon"

No one knew what CC meant by this they wondered if it was a warning or just ramblings of new hatchling.

That night While in her cabin with her new Dragon Nym could be found pacing back and forth in her study replaying what CC had said. Soon there was a little tippy tap at the study door, Nym walked over and opened the door to find CC standing there wagging her little tail.

"Yes, CC? Is there something I can help you with? Do you need something?" Nym asked.

"Nym?, Is there a place for me to sleep? I am really sleepy and would like to get some rest before the meeting tomorrow." CC responded.

"O... O.... Of course CC, I am so sorry I just got distracted is all, follow me and I will show you where you will be staying" Said Nym.

As Nym led CC to her new room they walked up a set of stairs and down a long hallway till Nym stopped in front of a door with a little blue and purple dragon carved on it.

"Here we are CC, this will be your room since you are small and can't reach the door the knob I had a little push door installed so you can get in and out"

As Nym opened the door CC flew up and perched onto her Shoulder. When they walked into the room and Nym made the room light up, CC's eyes got really big and she jumped off of Nym's shoulder and started looking around her new room.

"All our Cabins are bigger on the inside."

There was a swing, a little nest bed, trees, and flowers all over the place, a huge skylight that showcased the moon at its highest point in the night sky. And a bowl full of all kinds of candies. The walls were painted blue like the sky with little white puffy clouds on the ceiling, floor was a green shaggy rug to resemble grass. CC flew around her room trying the slide and the bed and jumping from tree to tree. She loved it!! and it made Nym happy to see her new little friend so excited.

"You should get some sleep CC, we have a big day tomorrow, and we need to be at our best, if we want to convince the elders to let you and your clutch mates stay here with us."

" O they'll agree, They won't turn us away your village needs us, and we need you" CC said Confidently

Once again confused by the little dragons words, Nym said good night and left the room closing the door behind her, and as she was getting ready to go to bed herself, there was a knock on her front door.

Nym cautiously opened the door to find a small, mysterious figure standing in the moonlight. The figure handed her a scroll and disappeared into the night. Nym unrolled the scroll and read the message written in elegant script.

What did the message say?

"The time has come for you to fulfill your destiny. Meet us at the Dragon's Peak after the meeting," the message read. Nym's heart raced with excitement and fear. Was this the moment she had been waiting for? There were so many thoughts running through Nym's head she could barely sleep. "What would happen at the meeting tomorrow? Would the elders believe CC's words or would they turn her and her siblings away? who was that mysterious creature who handed her the scroll and disappeared into the night? And what was her destiny?" All these and more questions raced in Nym's head until she finally fell asleep.

In the Morning Nym and CC gathered in the great hall with the rest of the dragons and ambassadors and all the other members of the village who Chance invited. It was time to discuss if the dragons could stay and what CC meant by the village was going to need the little dragons.

"ATTENTION EVERYONE, ATTENTION I'D LIKE TO CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER, EVERYONE PLEASE TAKE YOUR SEATS!!!!" Shouted Chance.

"I called this meeting so we can figure out what we are going to do with our little dragon friends, and why Nym's dragon CC says we are going to need them soon."

Chance Asked, "Nym, did CC say anything else to you last night, as to why we found a clutch of Dragon eggs"

"CANDY DRAGON EGGS" CC interrupted

lightly rolling his eyes "Candy dragon eggs, in a cave 4 days journey from our village?"

"UMMMM......No, none of that...She only said that the elders would let them stay, but never said why. Or any of that other stuff you all want to know." Nym said.

"CC! First why was your clutch in that cave? Dragons haven't been seen here in hundreds of years, and all of a sudden a full clutch of dragon eggs appears in a cave our Service dog happens to be walking passed on her way to another village to negotiate trades, and because she found your clutch pushed our negotiations back by days maybe weeks." Elder Apollo ranted.

"Second, 'Elder Cleopatra continued' What did you mean when you said we would need you? What do you know? What could you possibly know for a baby dragon? Our lands have seen peace for a thousand years, and prosperity for hundreds of years, what could we possibly need help from a bunch of baby dragons for?"

CC Leapt off Nyms back and stood in front of all the Elders. "Well if you let me speak, instead of bombarding me with a bunch of questions and no space in between for me to answer, I will explain what you want to know." CC Huffed.

"First I do not know why we were in the Cave of Light, your guess is as good as mine I just hatched there." She shrugged and Start to pace around the hall.

CC dropped a bombshell when she mentioned that the village was going to need the little dragons. What does that even mean? Are these little dragons the key to saving the day? It's like a dragon-sized mystery waiting to be solved!

"Secondly, The only reason dragons appear in a realm such as this is when there is a big bad coming. I know this because it is ingrained in our DNA. It's the reason we are Laid and hatched. Before you ask, because i can see it on your faces, No.... I do not know what the big bad is, and Neither do my brothers or sisters. We are here to help you find the big bad that is going to threaten your way of life, and to help you get rid of it by any means necessary. I also do not know when or where the big bad will appear."

Surprised, Elder Harry asked "Soooooo...... You don't know how you got in the cave? You say a big bad is coming, but you don't know what, who, when , or where any of this will happen? Why should we believe you? Technically you are a baby a week old baby, anything you say could just be taken as baby talk, the babblings of an Infant!"

Stepping forward Nym starts to speak " Elders!! CC Speaks the truth!! Last night I couldn't sleep and late into the night there was a knock on my door, there was a small creature standing outside when i opened my door, they handed me a scroll and took off into the night and disappeared." Nym pulled the scroll out and held it out in front of her. "See here is the scroll, whoever sent it wants us to meet them at Dragons peak, which according to maps I have in my library is the mountain that the cave of light is in. They want us to go back to where we found the dragons." she's pacing now in front of the elders. "I believe that whoever sent this scroll can tell us more about the big bad that CC and the other dragons are talking about. This! 'She holds up the scroll' This! is the key to it all! So..... I want to...."

"STOP! do not say another word! The answer is NO!" Yelled Elder Harry. "I know you what you want to ask and NO, you can not take your team to the Dragons peak. The seasons are changing and it is becoming too dangerous to travel the forests."

Frustrated Nym and CC glared at the Elders, was this it? was this where they turn the baby dragons away in hopes it will avoid the big bad? or because they are too stubborn to listen to reason and the truth? All the other dragons and Ambassadors looked defeated, like this was the end of their journeys together. Until, J.R Flew off of Chance's Shoulder and stood with CC & Nym.

"Please Listen to us! We wouldn't be here if we weren't needed! But it is not just a one way relationship here, We need you too! Your ambassadors are the chosen ones, we need them to help us grow and develop our special abilities! Now I know you want to know what those are, well we do to, 'he smirked'. We don't know what our abilities will be until we get a little older, and these abilities will help you fight off the big bad. But if you send us away we can develop our abilities and when it comes time to get rid of the big bad, you and thiiiiiiiiiiisssss whhhhhoooooooolllllllleeeeee VILLAGE, we be on your own!!!!! and let me tell you; you won't win.

 How do i know?? I just do. Because if the big ad wasn't the big bad we wouldn't be here arguing over why we are here and how we got here? Why do these things matter, when we should be preparing for the inevitable???? J.R ran on to say. Looking at all the elders expectantly.

With all the dragons and ambassadors in one place, it's decision time. Will the dragons be allowed to stay in the village? Will the little dragons play a crucial role in the village's future? The suspense is killing us!

"ENOUGH!!! Elder Apollo exclaimed. "J.R is it? " 'J.R nods' "J.R you make a compelling argument, we will convene for a short break to discuss, and we will come back to all of you with our answer whether or not you can stay and if we allow you all to go on this journey Nym and CC are determined to go on."

All the Elders including Chance left the main hall and went into a room to discuss the little dragons fate in village. While they discussed, the ambassadors made they way around the great hall talking to the other villagers, while their dragons played with the few children that were in attendance. It seemed like it took hours for the elders to come out of their little room, but they finally emerged. Some didn't look too happy and others had on their poker faces. But all reentered the hall with purpose.

As the elders sat down, the dragons flew to their ambassadors and perched on their shoulders. Everyone waited quietly for the elders decision. "EH-HEM! 'Elder Harry cleared his throat' We have come to a decision. CC you should be thankful for your brother, he had a compelling argument." ' CC rolled her eyes' " You and your siblings are allowed to stay in our village, and you are allowed to go on this journey and discover the answers we need."

Stay tuned for the next chapter in the dragon village saga. Who knew dragons could cause so much drama? It's like a fantasy soap opera unfolding right before our eyes!
