Chapter 5
Never Trust an Owl

We traveled on for about... for about a week more before we entered into another forest, this forest was pretty dense, it had a lot of undergrowth and the trees where close together. We passed through a small clearing, I looked around as the horses walked through, again we where sitting on them. I spotted an owl sitting among the branches, he started us down, only one eye was a deep red the other a milky white. It stared me down for some reason, Kiya had almost left the clearing before the owl said something. “I guess you don't want to know what happened to Natalie.” I instantly launched off of Kiya and stood in front of the owl. The owl flew down to me, he was a light drown with a white belly, white spots littered his head and white stripes cris crossed on his wings.
“What about Natalie?” I asked seeing the huge metal talons he had.
“So you do want to know? Well I'll tell you this, information comes with a price,” he sneered.
“Quint? Quint leave that damn owl alone and come!” I hear Akita yell from the forest, my mind was set on the owl though. He carefully walked around me before flying up into the air.
“So you'll pay the price?” the owl asked again, his milky white eye seeming to hypnotize me.
“Yes! Yes please! Anything to know what is happening with Natalie!” The owl chuckled.
“Quint you dunderhead come here!” I heard Akita yell again, more worry in her voice this time, it seemed so distant now though. The owl soon swooped down talons outstretched towards my face, I leaped out of the way, the owl chuckled darkly before flying off. I rolled my eyes, Akita was right about the owl, I should have left it. I took a step towards where the group had gone off to, the instant I placed my paw down the world went black, jumping back all I saw was black.
I frantically looked around me, when I stopped I saw the owl again in front of me. “What did you do!? Where's Camber, and Akita and the other ones!?” The owl only laughed.
“Crestle, nice to meet you Quint, this is the price of information,” Crestle spread his old wings out and flapped into the darkness, he started chanting things.

“When the dragon's fury comes the sky will turn red,
Red from the blood of those lost,
Red from the anger of those lost.
The rain will be red of those sacrificed,
Stain the ground red,
Make those sacrificed rain onto the world.
When the dragon's fury comes,
The rain will run red,
Staining the ground redder,
And tell the world that it is dead.
The dragon's fury will come,
It will kill,
It will stain,
It will sacrifice.”

I tilted my hear as Crestle chanted the same thing over and over again, I looked around a little, my gaze stopped on something white, it looked like Natalie, only it was chained to the floor, it had a long reptile like tail and the same fur like scales Kiya had. I walked over to it, it lifted it's head and looked at me, those red eyes where clouded with pain and misery. It looked so much like Natalie, my ears pricked hearing Crestle chant something new.

“Love will die,
Friends will die,
All you had will decay away.
Natalie is moments from leasing out,
Leasing out the dragon's fury.
She won't hesitate,
She won't even think,
She won't even think about her best friend.
All will die,
Decay away,
All will be stained with the dark red rain.
You're loved ones will perish,
The first ones to die.
All will be for nothing,
As the dragon's fury rages,
Tearing up the land and the animals within it.”

I glanced up at Crestle, my heart was beginning to pound louder as fear filled every inch of my body. I looked back over at Natalie, she had bared her teeth, a low growl emitted from her. I back away, I was stopped bumping into something, I instantly snapped around, what I saw was a gray creature, it's wings sagged to the ground, spit was dripping from it's mouth, it's eyes dark, soulless pits. I screamed before racing off, I glanced back and saw a huge white beast racing after me, it only made me run faster. My paw slipped as I was plunged into the icy darkness, I couldn't see a thing, lasing out I let out torrents of fire out and slashed around.
“Quint!” The voice... a voice... it... was it Akita? No! “Quint!” There it was again, it sounded more demonic this time, my body froze, I couldn't move, I was there in the quite darkness. I could see again, I saw my paws and snout, then... then... the white beast... I saw it charging at me. I desperately fought to regain control of my body, the beast had it's mouth open, it was ready to devour me! Gettign a leg free I lashed out, it hit something as I saw red blood droplets fly past my claws, but... I hadn't hit the white beast. A flash of light sent me into panic mode, my heart beat so fast... I couldn't draw a breath... I blacked out.

I cracked my eyes open and lifted my head, “Stay down!” I felt a paw slam my head down again only causing a headache. My vision was blurry but from what I could make out I saw Camber helping Akita. I saw red drip from Akita's face, seeing that I jumped up.
“Akita!” I yowled, my vision grew sharp, I looked around and saw Raph who looked at me with relief. Blinking I saw Cassie and Kiya off to the side, I started to walk over to Akita, Camber saw me coming and cowered away. I had no idea what was happening, my ears flopped back seeing Akita's face, there was a long claw mark over her face, it started by her cheek bone and went up to her snout. She growled at me, stomping over to me I readied myself to get hit with a blast of anger from Akita.
“You idiot! I told you to stay away from that stupid owl and you didn't even listen to me!” she snapped, blood dripping from her face. Once Akita was done yelling at me she stood there, the blood had stained the left side of her face already, a few tense moments passed. Once those where gone Akita rushed to me and hugged me, her one paw was on my shoulder while her head wrapped around my neck, she took raspy breaths, all uneven. I lifted my paw and wrapped it around Akita to comfort her, I could feel the warm blood drip onto my fur but something else was cold, it felt watery against my skin... was it tears?
We hugged for each other for a couple of moments, before Akita let go and backed away, she looked away before padding back over to Camber. I blinked and turned over to Raph, he shrugged. Walking over to him I asked what had happened to me in reality.
“You where hallucinating, Akita slapped you and you did nothing except stand there, then you started screaming and running in circles. After that you almost set the forest on fire! Not to mention you where trying to hit us so Akita used her element and made you freeze, you struggled and she was really close to you and then BAM! You hit her and there was blood everywhere!” Raph explained, Cassie sighed.
“There wasn't that much blood, it wasn't that bad of an injury actually.” Raphael jumped up and hissed at Cassie, they started a fight while Kiya tried to make them stop. I sighed, I didn't know if what that owl told me was right or not... it seemed to real... shaking my head to clear the thoughts I took a deep breath.
“Guys... we need to go back to the RDO.” Everyone stopped what they where doing and looked at me with pure surprise written all over their faces.
“Why?” Cassie asked calmly.
“I-I have a bad feeling that their trying to make a dragon there... and... that might cause the demise of the world.”
