14 Ch14-A Message

CHAPTER 14 A MESSAGE Petra, why don't you want to come back to Bracken?" Drake asked. "Someday I will," Petra said. "But I miss my home, and Remus is closer to it. Also, I'd like to find out what Zera and Sono can do when they work together."

The two dragons were smiling at each other. "I think that is a splendid idea, Petra," Griffith said. Drake hugged his friend. "I'll miss you! We all will." Petra smiled. "I'll miss you, too," she said. She turned to Griffith. "You are the best teacher. Thank you." "Felix is a good teacher, too," Griffith replied. Felix smiled. "Thank you, Griffith," he said. "I'll enjoy having an extra pupil." "Petra and I will meet up with you after we take this Power Crystal back to Belerion," Tessa told her wizard. She turned to Drake. "I'm glad you all bumped into me and Sono earlier."

"Me, too," Drake said, smiling. "Okay," Tessa said. "We need to go." Petra frowned. "I'm still a little scared to transport with Sono," she said. "But I think I'm ready to try it..." "Come next to us and hold my hand," Tessa said. "We'll be there in a flash!" Tessa, Petra, and their dragons transported to Belerion in a shimmering wave.

Then Worm quickly transported Drake and Griffith to the Training Room in Bracken Castle. Rori, Bo, and Ana rushed to greet them, followed by Eko. "You're back! But where are Petra and Zera?" Rori asked. "Petra wanted to stay and learn from Tessa," Drake said. "She's a really cool Dragon Master."

"What?" Rori cried. Ana frowned. "I will miss her." "So will I, but I'm glad she is happy," Bo said. "Announcing Mina of the Far North and her dragon, Frost!" Simon the guard's voice rang through the Training Room. Mina marched in. Her Ice Dragon, Frost, followed her. "Mina! You're back!" Drake cried. "Are you here for a visit?" "I have a message for Griffith from my wizard, Hulda," Mina replied. "She has found Astrid."

"Oh no!" Griffith said. The Dragon Masters looked at him. "Who is Astrid?" Drake asked. "She is Hulda's sister, and she is the most dangerous wizard I know," he replied. "Even more dangerous than Maldred!"
