A sudden attack!!!
The night was cold. The air felt like ice hitting your face. The moon's light shined into a window of a tower. The Window belonged to king Ellie's son, Prince Castiel. It was his room. The Palace was huge, but Castiel always thought that his room was the best place to be alone with his thoughts. A knock on his door made him lose his train of thoughts. The Prince stood
up and walked slowly to the door. He opened the door to find his father's Maid. She had short brown hair to her shoulders and light blue eyes. She wore a white maid's outfit and two white ribbons that looked as if it was hiding something. A
head band made of a snow dragon's scales was holding her bangs from her face. She had a sweet smile and she was holding a tray of food. Her name was Ivy and she was a half dragon. A cross between a human and dragon. "Miss Ivy, What is this for?" He asked.
O
"Your Royal Highness, I have finished my work for tonight and the King paid me extra to bring you a midnight meal." Replied the half dragon. Turns out the white ribbons covered her horns, but her tail was to long to hide, so it only waved back
and forth while she did something. Her horns were white and so was her tail.
O
"Thank you Miss Ivy." He said, taking the tray. Ivy replied by curtsying. "I'll see you in the morning, Miss Ivy." added Castiel before placing the tray on his table. Ivy nodded.
O
"Yes sir." She said before shutting the door behind her. Ivy walked down the stairs of the marble hall way. Sir Leo was standing at the end of the grand stair case of the King's Palace. He was dressed in black armor and a black cloak. On his side was a sword. "Good-night Sir Leo." Ivy added a smile. Sir Leo stopped the half dragon. "What is wrong?" Ivy asked.
O
"Elder Kath would like to speak with you." he said as he pointed to a door on Ivy's right.
O
"Elder Kath once to speak with me, Why?" Ivy asked.
O
"I'm not sure miss." Sir Leo said before opening the door for her and shutting it behind her. It was a stair case that lead deep underground. Elder Keth was the Water dragon and the Guardian of Omen Thorn Palace. As Ivy made her way down, she heard the sound of running water. She entered the room to find that it was flooded up to her knees with water.
O
"Come forth daughter of the Light Dragon." Said a soft voice. Ivy walked further into the water that was now to her hips. O
"Elder Keth, You wished to see me?" Asked Ivy.
O
"Yes, Lady Ivy. I have been watching the Water orb for sometime now, but something is wrong." Ivy looked up to see an old wrinkled, blue dragon. His face was hidden from Ivy by the shadow of the stone ceiling.
O
"What is it?" asked Ivy.
O
"The Orb tells me of a foe more stronger then I and the other Elder Dragons. I'm getting worried. This evil may try to steal the Element Orbs. This force will even kill the Orb's Guardian. I fear that we are doomed if we don't act fast on this." Ivy placed her hands together and put them to her chest.
O
"Is there something I can do?" Ivy asked. Ivy heard a sigh slip the Dragon's lips.
O
"If you can warn all the Elder dragons...Your father too..Then we all can use are powers to find out the sorce of our enemy." The blue elderly dragon said as he saw Ivy's hand twitch.
O
"You know I don't want to see that old bag of bones!" Growled Ivy. Her white scaly tail swished back and forth in annoyance.
O
"You may bring along some friends if you don't want to travel alone. Besides, You shall see Elder Snowy and Elder Lyth first then you shall see Elder Orin. I trust that my number one student wont fail me?" Elder Keth asked as the Water Orb appeared in his blue scaly hand.
O
"I promise Elder Keth. I wont fail you." Ivy promised.
O
"Remember Lady Ivy, the Light dragon is your father and it is your duty not to fail him as well. Your father gave you the power of the healing and Light Barrier." Elder Keth reminded her.
O
"I know and Elder Lyth and Elder Oughiroth thought me the ways to use Wind attacks and fire attacks. I know this Elder Keth and you showed me how to master water attacks." Ivy reminded. Ivy didn't see it because of the shadows hiding his face, he was frowning.
O
"You've forgotten about Elder Snowy too. She helped you with your Ice powers am I right?" Elder Keth asked. Ivy nodded. The only two Elder Dragons that Ivy hated were Elder Snowy and Elder Orin. Elder Orin was her father, but she still hated him.
O
"I will go tomorrow. I'm too tired to travel." Ivy said as she turned away.
O
"Wait Lady Ivy." Elder Keth called down to her. She turned back and a Orb formed in front of her. It was the Water Orb that was in Elder Keth's hand, but no longer.
O
"Take this. It will help you find Elder Snowy. After you find her the Orb will disappear, bring it back to me. I'm sure the snow and ice dragon will allow you to use her ice Orb to find Elder Lyth." He said as the Orb made it's way to her forehead. The head band made of a Snow dragon's scale took in the Orb. Ivy didn't know her head band did that. She knew it kept creatures from reading her mind, but that's all she knew about it.
O
"Thank you Elder Keth." She said before making her way back up the stairs. She opened the door to find that no one was in the entry room of the Palace.
O
"Ivy." Ivy's heart raced as she heard the Prince's voice. The blonde haired and blue eyed young man made his way down the Grand stair case.
O
"Yes your highness?" Ivy asked, forgetting that her Maid outfit was soaked to her hips. The Prince was wearing his night clothes witch was a robe made of white silk and silver around the collar. Unlike the others, Prince Castiel didn't wear slippers. He went bare foot when he left his chambers at night. The King and Queen didn't seem to care, but Castiel's little sister, Sara did.
O
"I wanted to give you a gift for working so hard for my father for all these years." Ivy was shocked as he stopped in front of here and puled out a little kitten out of his robe.
O
"Meow." Said the cat to the Prince's ears, but Ivy was half dragon and heard every word of it. He said 'Hello.' Prince handed it to Ivy.
O
"Hello to you too." The Prince raised an eyebrow at her.
O
"He said hello?" He asked. Ivy nodded. "Oh yeah! I'm sorry I keep forgetting your part dragon. Your so much more like a human despite your tail and hidden horns." He said. Prince Castiel always loved Fairy tale Creatures like Dragons and fairies and other kinds. Queen Live and King Ellie thought it was romantic that a dragon like Orin would fall for a witch such as RT, witch was a nickname the people called Ivy and her brother's mother. Her real name was Rose Thorn. RT was an evil witch before meeting Elder Orin. RT died giving birth to Ash nine mouths after giving birth to a half dragon. Ivy's brother Ash was only able to use fire attacks and that was it. Ivy could master all the Dragon Elements if she wanted to. Water, light, fire, wind, and Ice was all she knew at the moment. She still had Darkness to handle, but she never tried learning it because it was some kind of poison berry made of dark magic that made her fourteen year old brother sick.
O
"I know you don't like dark magic, but you see Craft is a powerful creature. He can use Witchcraft because of the markings on his body." Prince Castiel placed his pointer finger on Craft's back.
O
"Magical." Said the kitty named Craft.
O
"Your too cute to be evil." Ivy said as she started to pet the Black kitten with the purple markings on his back. The cat purred and replied.
O
"I'm still Magical." Ivy smiled over at Prince Castiel.
O
"Thank you." She thanked the Prince as her hand brushed over his finger. "I'm sorry." She replied as she stopped pet the cat and removed her hand from him.
O
"It's okay Miss Ivy. Good-night and walk home safely." Ivy waved to him as he waved back. She rushed out of the Palace and into the front garden of the palace. Her face was red from blushing and Craft was tucked in her arms.
O
"Ivy!" A girl called out to Ivy which made her stop. She turned to see a girl flying over to her. She wore a grass skirt and a top that was made of many different flowers and plants. Her hair was long and straight. The color was bleach blonde. Her eyes were bright blue. "Aw, when did you get a kitty?" The girl asked. When she spoke her wing fluttered and fairy dust and glitter fell from her wings, but disappeared before hitting the ground.
O
"Just now. Prince Castiel gave him to me." said Ivy as she held Craft out to the Fairy that was around Ash's age.
O
"He's cute and sweet." The Fairy said as Craft started to purr in her arms. "His purple markings and eyes are cool-looking." She added.
O
"Hey, Cloe?" Ivy called to the Fairy named Cloe.
O
"Yes, Ivy?" Asked Cloe before she handed Craft back to Ivy. Ivy took him back and stared up at the Fairy as she landed on the ground.
O
"Ash...He's gotten worse. I was hoping that maybe if we both used our Healing powers that it might help him a bit." Ivy said, sadly.
O
"You know that I'd do anything to save Ash. Remember, He saved me from Were-wolves and I promised to repay him for that. I wont brake my promise to him." Promised Cloe.
O
"Thank you cloe. Do you know if the King will let you leave with me tonight?" Ivy asked.
O
"I'm not being held here against my will. He said I may leave as I please as long as I come back. If I don't then they'll fire me and hire a new gardener." Cloe said with a smile which puzzled Ivy. (Why is she smiling about that?) Ivy asked herself. "Let's go. I want to see my Ashy." She said as she flew past her.
O
"Your Ashy?" Ivy asked, but Cloe was to far ahead to hear.
O
"I'll grow big." Said Craft before jumping from Ivy's arms. As he jumped his tiny body turned huge. He jumped as a kitten and landed as a full grown tiger with the same purple markings and eyes.
O
"Wow." Was what Ivy replied.
O
"Hop on." He said. Ivy nodded and cliamed on Craft as if he were a horse. Craft took off running before waiting for Ivy to get settled on his back.
O

O
Craft and Ivy found Cloe waiting on the steps of an old, tiny, broken down house. Cloe never seemed to mind it. All she cared about was seeing Ash. Which she would often call her hero. When Ivy jumped off Craft's back, he turned little again and followed the half Dragon girl.
O
"There you are!" Cheered Cloe as she jumped into the air.
O
"Thank you for waiting for us." Ivy said as she made her way up the steps. She moved the long ragged cloth that she used as a door. Craft and Cloe followed her inside. The room was small, but perfect for two. There was one bed were Ash slept and on the floor was a blanket and pillow which was Ivy's bed. cloe flew over to the bed and sat down on it. She Chris-crossed her legs and stared over at the boy laying in the bed with his eyes closed. She brushed the dark brown hair from his face to uncover what Cloe called the face of her Guardian Angel. Ivy only laughed at that, but she felt that way with Prince Castiel. As she did that Ash's eyes opened. They were blue like Ivy's.
O
"Hello, cloe." He greeted with a sad, yet happy smile.
O
"Hi Ash!" She greeted back as she quickly removed her hand from his hair. Ivy walked over to Cloe and her little brother. O
"Cloe and I are going to use are healing power to see if we can help you." Ivy said, adding a cheerful smile.
O
"Thank you...Both of you." His smile disappeared as he placed his hand over his mouth and coughed.
O
"He's really sick." Craft said as he leaped onto the bed. Ash reached out and petted the kitten. Only Cloe and Ivy heard what Craft had said to Ash. Ash only heard three meows since he was human.
O
"When did we get a cat?" Ash asked.
O
"He was a gift from the Prince." Said Ivy. Ash only frowned.
O
"Prince Castiel seems to give a lot of gifts to you. He gave you that head band." Ash was right, The Prince did given her the head band as a gift.
O
"That's just his way of saying thank you." Ivy protested while blushing. Ash only sighed.
O
"Um...Shall we begin?" cloe asked.
O
"Huh? Oh yeah I almost forgot!" She and Cloe placed their hands over Ash, but didn't touch him. They both closed their eyes, so that they could only focus on Ash and nothing else. As they did so Ash closed his eyes and his whole body turned into a bright shiny yellow color.
O

O
After Cloe and Ivy were done, Ash was turned back into his former color.
O
"I think he's okay for now." Replied Cloe as she and Ivy started to pant.
O
"Yeah." Ivy agreed.
O
"Healing Class?" Craft guessed.
O
"Cloe and I are both a class of healing, but I'm also a Mage." Said Ivy.
O
"I like Mages! They're magical too" Craft cheered.
O
"Thank you." Ivy Thanked Craft for his compliment. "Can you watch Ash while I go change?" Ivy asked Cloe.
O
"Yes." Replied Cloe before Ivy disappeared behind another ragged cloth. She came back out in a white tank top and Yellow short shorts. She didn't have her sandals on. She was bare foot. Her white tail was swishing back and forth and her horns were still hidden by the ribbons, but she was now wearing yellow ones. She also still had the head band on. The only other thing that was different about her was her white wings. They weren't as big because Ivy was still growing. Her wings were the length of an Eagle's wings. Ivy didn't want to ruin her maid's uniform, so she always kept her wings pressed to her back while wearing it.
O
"Did his mood change?" Ivy asked.
O
"Nope not a bit." Cloe said while frowning. Before Ivy replied She, craft, and cloe felt the house shake.
O
"I don't like the Mage's house though." Said Craft.
O
"I promise you that this is the first time I felt the house shake." Ivy said. (It really was.) Ivy said to herself. Cloe shrugged. The house shook again. This time they heard a cracking sound.
O
"uh-oh." said Craft before turning into his tiger form. "Hop on." He added. Ivy shook her head.
O
"I'm sure it's nothing." She said as the ceiling started to crack. "...Or maybe not." Ivy added as she jumped on Craft's back. She could have flown out, but she used all her energy on Ash. Craft turned to the Fairy.
O
"Cloe and Ash too." Cloe nodded and grabbed Ash, but it wasn't easy for her to get him on Craft's back because of how heavy he was. Cloe was able to get him up on his back somehow and cloe got on as well because she was out of energy too and couldn't fly either. Craft was about to leap out the front door when the ceiling fell through and blocked the door then sending fire into Craft's face. Lucky for him Ivy acted fast and used a light barrier. It blocked the flames while Craft found a new way out and that was the new hole in the ceiling. Ivy stopped using the barrier after she thought everyone was safe. The huge tiger jumped out of the hole and onto the roof. Ash and Cloe started to choke and cough because of the smoke. It didn't bother Ivy because of her being half dragon. Ivy put the barrier up again as Craft jumped off the roof and onto the ground. craft took off far enough away from the now burning house. Ivy fell forward and rested her head on the back of craft's neck. (Why my house?) She begged for the answer, but it didn't come. Cloe helped Ash off Craft's back and onto the ground. Ash was wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. No shoes. He was awake now, but sweating from the fire.
O
"Your not hurt are you?" Asked cloe as she removed the hair from his face.
O
"No...I'm...Fine." He struggled to say.
O
"Who did this!" Screamed Ivy as she leaped off Craft's back. He stayed in his tiger form and sat down, adding a sigh.
Ivy kicked a stone. It hurt, but at the moment Ivy didn't care. Someone or something had burned the only home she and Ash had down to crisp. "I worked so hard to get this house! why!" Ivy started to cry. Tears ran down her face. Her wings laid flat on her back. Every one heard a slivering sound. It came from a red lava serpent.
O
"Holy bananahs..." Ash looked up at Cloe weird as she said it.
O
"What?" She asked.
O
"Never mind you'll get the hang of it soon." Said Ash with a smile on his face. Cloe turned away as her skin turned a bright pink color.
O
"You monster!" Fire formed in both Ivy's hands as she held them out to her sides.
O
"Fire wont work Half Breed!" hissed the Serpent as it slivered over to Ivy.
O
"Back off snake!" Growled Craft as he ran to Ivy's side.
O
"I prefer to be called a Serpent!" hissed the Lava serpent.
O
"Like I Care!" Craft hissed back. The fire went away as Ivy flew into the air. Little water Orbs formed in her hands one after another as she launched them at the Serpent, but the Serpent moved just in time as at least ten little water orbs headed it's way. "Witchcraft!" Craft hissed as his Witchcraft markings started to glow a bright purple. A glowing purple circle formed around him and shot up into the air and hit Ivy. As it hit Ivy it felt like being hit my a train, but it didn't kill her, it made her stronger. Cloe and Ash watched the battle from afar.
