Kate

I stared in disbelief.

"You're my GRANDFATHER" I said wiping my nose on the back of my sleeve.

'''"Yes, I am." He responded calmly. I was so amazed. My parents never talked about any living relatives other than my filthy grandmother. I was puzzled. My mother said her father died after I was born. Some sort of disease.'''

"How is this possible? My mother said that her father died when I was born.  Some sort of Heart attack."

'''"Well, I am not related to you by Blood. Though when your mother was little, her father and mother died and she had to go into a foster home.  I took care of and adopted her." ''' I was over Vallalah.

"''I will finally have somebody who loves and actully cares about me! Sombody that doesn't make fun of my family line.  My unable to talk to people acept my mom and dad.  Well exept my dragons of course." '' I stood up and took a step forward, then I did something I thought I didn't have the guts to do. I hugged him. Tears where forming in my eyes as I hugged him tighter, he smelled like fresh wood and fire. Which in my book where good smells. Then out of no  where I started. Crying, He slowly rubbed my back. This felt good, it has been a rough 4 years without my parents,  my grandmother taking my things, people calling me names, people avoiding me, and this man actully cared. It felt great.

I took a step back, still tears in my eyes. I relized that he two had tears in my eyes.

"I know its been rough Kate.  I have heard what you have been through and I am sorry.  I came from deep in this world to help take care of you.  I want to help you grow Kate.  Will you let me?"

I started to cry again "Yes, Please.  You can build a hut like mine, there is another cliff next to mine and we can add a tunnle.  Inside there can be a living room and kitchen and your room. "  I was overjoyed.

"A family, one that cares." I was so happy. After that moment we decided to work on our huts right away. So me and Stomslicer flew to the markets while my Grandfather walked. My grandfather got the tools and I got the furniture. By the time we got back it was almost dusk.

"Sorry kido, too late mabey we can work on it tommorow?"

"Thats fine Grandpa.  OH but wait I think I have the Guardians trial, I don't know for sure but I will check."

"Your IN the Trials? NO way, YOu know when I was a boy I became a Guardian."

"WHAT! You did.  Thats so cool Grandpa." I felt like I had a connection with my Grandpa already. We set down the tools and Grandpa wanted to make Yak stew so he went to the markets to get some supplies for dinner. Stormslicer wanted to fly so I hopped on him. While we where flying about it started to snow harder. I spotted Aiden in front of his house, it looked like he was crying. I told Slicer to land. I hopped off and walked over to him.

"A-A-A-A-Are Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You O-Ok?" I asked. Aiden sniffed

"Yes, I will be fine" He kept looking up. I felt bad. Even though I can't talk to people dosn't mean I am heartless.

"Look, I know you must be going though something rough. I am sorry I have and still going through rough stuff.  I know you and the other kids liked my yak stew.  I am having it again tonight with my grandpa if you would like to join? I am planning to go get the others?"

"Umm, I donno, mabey." He says kinda bleakly.

"Well you can come if you want but I am going to get the others." I say as I hop on my dragon and go to the other houses and all of them agree to come. When I get back to my hut where the fire is undernethe my Grandfather is there mixing the soup.

"HI.  Bring your friends?" He says still stiring

"I never thought as them as friends.  Mabey they are." A smile creeps across my face. "Yea, You don't mind do you?"

"Not at all"  After everybody lands he dishs steaming bowls of Yak stew. My Grandfather started telling silly tales and everybody broke out laughing. Some where even crying. Aiden showed up towards the end. We told a few more stories. It was a good day. The snow was sprinkleing lightly. The stew was steaming and warming my insides. My friends where here and I finally found my family.
