Aidan

The next morning I woke up excited for what was to come. I did the usual morning routine, and went to the main room, where everybody was. After that awkward moment yesterday, I avoided eye contact with Kate, still pretty embarrassed. Everybody was talking about why they are going to kill Mr. Harn, even though only one person could do that.

''"Aidan I think we need to go now if we want to train the Screaming Death." ''Kate then suddenly said. She was right. I got up and hopped on to Shadow Cloud. Kate and I then flew off. The journey was fairly quiet, we were both pretty embarrassed from what happened yesterday. I knew I had to break the silence.

''"Any ideas on what might happen today?" ''I asked her, while rubbing Shadow Cloud's horn.

''"Not really. To be honest I am really scared. I know I am gonna meet my brother in battle today. I kill him or he kills me. It's gonna end either way." ''Kate responded with. Then was that moment of silence, again. I wanted to say something, and to avoid making it awkward, I looked down.

''"Well, I wish you the best of luck Kate. If you need help...... I am here." ''I then said, hoping it wouldn't make it awkward, again.

''"Thanks, Aidan, I can count on you." ''Kate replied. Phew, thank Thor that wasn't awkward. Shadow Cloud and Stormslicer then got closer to each other, which made me and Kate get closer. I knew what Shadow Cloud was doing, she was doing it on purpose. Stormslicer then landed on the ground, in front of a cave. I stayed in the air for a while, to see how big it really was. I guess this is where it could be, so I landed.

''"Goodness, that's scary." ''Kate whispered. It was indeed. We entered the cave, with a little light. The further we went, the darker it got. There was nothing but dirt and scales. The reminds me, the fireproof armour I was going to make. I really need to make a start on that soon. Stormslicer gave us some light, which was really needed.

"He has to be here some-" I was saying, until... I saw it. There it was, on the ground, tied to some ropes. Straight away, Kate ran forward to help free it, but I grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

''"Kate! We don't know this Dragon! And he is a Screaming Death! He could kill you!" ''I explained to her, letting go of her hand.

''"Can't we help him though?! This is our chance." Kate pleaded. ''I guess she was right, so I let her go. Kate placed her hand on the Screaming Death, and I joined her.

''"I have never been this close to a Screaming Death." ''I whispered to Kate. She then took out her sword, and cut all the ropes, which freed the Screaming Death, while I stood back and watched. Then suddenly, the Screaming Death got up and looked down at Kate. Its red eyes were truly terrifying. Kate tried to get it to trust her, and it worked! She then did the classic taming move, which was stretch her hand out while closing her eyes. The Screaming Death moved its head against her hand, meaning it worked! I let out the biggest sigh of relief. As we were about to head off, the Screaming Death let out a call that hurt my ears. Then, like 100 Whispering Deaths came from out of nowhere. None of them looked a threat to us, and they stuck with the Screaming Death. Now we were ready to head off.

We made it closer to the battlefield, where all was breaking loose. The Screaming Death, along all the Whispering Deaths, joined the battle. Kate landed on the ground, and so did I. I jogged up to her and asked whether she was ready. And obviously, she was. I ran off to fight whoever I saw, and so did Kate. The first person I saw was a Harn. I swiped him and ran to find someone else. Then Barny came in the way, he was with Mr. Harn, who's face was burnt.

''"Woah, what happened to your face?" ''I sarcastically asked Mr. Harn. He didn't look like he was in the mood for jokes.

"''The same thing that happened to your parents." ''he replied with.

''"Okay, that's it, you're not getting away with that." ''I said, then knocking him to the ground. Barny looked like he was going to attack.

''"And don't you dare try to get involved, I'm already mad enough at you." ''I said to Barny. Then I turned my focus to Mr. Harn, who was still getting up. I walked around him, with Inferno out, lit up. Shadow Cloud was also walking around him, this was mind games.

"''Should I do what I did to your brother? Is that what you want?" ''I questioned him, while still walking around him.

"''No, but should I do what my brother did to your parents?" ''he responded with, now standing. Though, I knocked him back down.

"My parents died to your stupid little brother. And where's he now? You're lucky you haven't killed someone that I love, or else.." I said back.

"''You're... you're crazy. Soon I'll kill someone you love. Whether it's someone related to you, or your precious Kate." ''He then said.

''"I'm crazy? I'm crazy?! I'm the one being absolutely insulted, Your brother killed both of my parents, and Barny thinks he's fooling everyone with his Stormcutter's name. Like seriously, who names a Dragon 'Cloud Shadow'?! You're not killing anyone, especially not a family member. And me and Kate? Not a thing. That point was invalid, just like your existence. You're messed in the mind, clearly one thrashing wasn't enough. Maybe death will teach you a lesson?" ''I responded with.

''"Not so smart, are you? If I'm dead, how will I learn?" ''He questioned, with a smirk.

''"And who said you're the one to be killed?" ''I answered back, before looking at a Harn who was on the floor, because he had been attacked in the battle. I grabbed the Harn, and neared Inferno to his neck. ''"Time is ticking, Harn." ''I said to Mr. Harn. Mr. Harn then broke to his knees, before sighing.

''"Fine, I'll tell you the truth, boy." ''He then said.

''"Truth? I don't know what truth you're talking about, but okay, go on." ''I responded with, while still grabbing on to the Harn.

''"13 years ago, when my brother killed your father and nearly killed your mother and sister, there was a Harn meeting. We were discussing whether we should kill off the rest of your family or not. We made a plan; we would attack the rest of your family that night. The plan went to procedure, and we attacked your family, excluding you and your aunt, your uncle said he'll deal with you two. I have to admit, the attack was brutal. Nobody died, though we left your family with a lot to rebuild and a lot of food to somehow get. The next day, we found out from your uncle that your aunt had help from someone else, and they successfully defended him off. I don't know, he said something about your Dragon acting weird, which alerted your aunt that something was going to happen." ''Mr. Harn said.

''"Nice to hear Stormy had her senses even back then." ''I interrupted.

''"Anyways, with most of your family defenseless, we, together, decided to attack you, including my brother. Your Dragon's senses or whatever must have gone off again, because when we got there, there was already a defense set up. We broke through, finding you with your Dragon. You had no idea what was going on, you were only 2 years old. Though your Dragon, she knew exactly what was happening, and tried to defend you." ''Mr. Harn continued.

''"But where was my aunt? Wasn't she there with me?" ''I asked him.

"''Boy, if you don't let me finish, I won't tell you. Your aunt was part of the defense line, so she was still battling. Anyways, we were... how do I say this? We were about to kill you..." ''Mr. Harn said, before being interrupted by me, again.

''"What?! Are you insane?! Do you have no soul?!" ''I shouted at him.

''"Chillax, Aidan. I said we were ABOUT to. Until my brother recommended we take you and raise you to be one of our own. We were about to, until some MASSIVE Stormcutter came from nowhere and fired us away. I still don't know where that Stormcutter came from, or why it wanted to save you. Though I will say it looked awfully similar to your Stormcutter. We retreated back to our base, and never dared to attack you or your aunt ever again, though your uncle did." ''Mr. Harn finished.

''"That Stormcutter... how does it know me? And that was some prior knowledge I never had before, though I don't understand how it has some truth behind it..." ''I responded with. Mr. Harn sighed again.

"Your father wasn't there to defend you, was he?" He then suddenly asked me.

''"No, he wasn't there BECAUSE YOUR STUPID BROTHER KILLED HIM!!! Where are you trying to get at?" ''I shouted out in frustration.

"Aidan... I am your f" Mr. Harn was saying, until the Screaming Death came from underneath and nearly swallowed him. This sent him flying and his Rumblehorn caught him.

''"HARNNN!!!! Finish off your sentence!!!" ''I demanded. But Mr. Harn just flew off. What was he going to say? He is my what? I was really eager to know! I let go off the Harn I was grabbing on to, and let out my anger in the battle. I took out a couple of people, until the battle had seemed to be won. The Screaming Death came closer to us, and everybody, but Kate and I, stepped back. The Screaming Death bowed down to us, and Kate allowed it to be free, as it flew away. We flew back to the clubhouse, with Havardr with us, we had captured him.

When we got back, we started to interrogate him. We tied him to a chair, and we sat around a table, ready to ask him questions. For the first few questions, he didn't give us the answers we were hoping for. It came to a stage where it seemed hopeless.

''"I will tell you one thing, the boss will not be happy at all." ''Havardr then suddenly said. We all gasped.

''"So you're not the boss?" ''Isla questioned him.

''"Oh, that's for me to know, and you to find out." ''Havardr answered back. I slammed my fist on the table.

''"Quit it with this game, Havardr. I know what you're doing. Give us the answers we're looking for, and we'll set you free." ''I said to him.

''"If only you stick with your words." ''Havardr said, and then he proceeded to tell us A LOT!

''"Fair enough." ''I said, then began to untie him. The others' gasped and questioned what I was doing. I told them I stick to my words, and then patted Havadr on his shoulder, which he did not like at all. When he ran off, the others', again, questioned my decisions.

''"Aidan, what are you doing?" ''Kate questioned me, as I slumped back on my chair.

''"You guys seriously think I'm a fool to let him run off like that? You see, when I patted him on his shoulder, little did anybody know that I actually stuck a chip on to him. With this chip, we can track down his every step." ''I replied with.

"''I-I never knew we had that kind of techology in the Hidden World..." ''Vix stuttered.

''"Well neither did I. I found it on sale in the markets, it's actually really cheap. Now we can plan our ultimate plan, to end it all. Though I don't want to plan it alone, I want us all, together, to come up with a plan." ''I answered back.

It was getting late in the day, so I headed off to bed. I fell asleep quickly. Then all of a sudden, I was back at the battle. Mr. Harn was there, about to reveal something to me.

''"Aidan... I am your father." ''He finished.

''"No! NOOOOOOO!!!" ''I screamed. Then suddenly I woke up. It must have been a dream. Shadow Cloud was next to my bed, and I hugged her, sitting up.

''"It was just a bad dream, nothing to worry about." ''I calmed her, while sweating. She went back and slept hanging, while I stayed up for a bit, thinking about that dream. Eventually, I got sleep again.

The next morning I woke up early because I had early shift. I did the usual morning routine, and went out on patrol. It was the same old same old. But this time Roel wasn't there, which was relieving. As I entered the clubhouse, I saw Vix.

''“Eew eewww! Sticky! Gross!''” He said, as he got the ball back from his Tide Glider, which made me laugh.

“Don’t like Dragon spit?” I jokingly asked him.'' “So, uh, anyway you and I are gonna go raid another base. It’s one of their older bases, so there may not be many people there. You okay with that?” ''I asked him. This base is one that I caught attention to from Havardr.

“Yeah why not." Vix responded with. I explained the plan to Vix, and he found it easy, which I liked. We took off and landed near the base. Tumble destroyed the gate, as we entered. I had to take out some people outside the base, while Vix took out some that were inside. Vix gave us the call to come in, which we did. Shadow Cloud fired a bigger shot which ultimately destroyed the gate. Vix went his own way, while I went mine. I freed all the Dragons they had. Then that's when I ran across Mr. Harn.

''"I don't want to hurt you. Just... what were you about to say yesterday?" ''I questioned him.

''"I'm your..." ''Mr. Harn said, but didn't finish.

''"It's okay, you can say it, don't be afraid." ''I said, trying to encourage him.

"''I'm your... I'm your father's demise! It wasn't my brother who killed your father, it was me! What'd you think? That I was going to say I am your father? Ha! Nobody wants to be that fool!" ''Mr. Harn spat out. I charged at him, and missed.

''"YOU SON OF A HALF TROLL!!!" ''I yelled at him, then charged at him again. He dodged my charge, again. Mr. Harn then charged at me, and knocked me down. Shadow Cloud was going to attack him, but he fired a Dragon root arrow at her, and it hit her.

''"I'm going to do what I did to your father!" ''Mr. Harn yelled, as he got his sword out and leaned it against my neck. Then suddenly... BANG! Something fired at him, and knocked him back. I looked up as soon as I could, and saw what it was. There, standing there, was a Stormcutter, which looked awfully similar to Shadow Cloud, but this one was MASSIVE. The Stormcutter looked at Shadow Cloud, who was still knocked out on the floor, then looked at me. The Stormcutter let out a monstrous roar at Mr. Harn, and then kept firing at him. Mr. Harn ran way, leaving the Stormcutter, Shadow Cloud and I in the room. I tried to crawl away from the Stormcutter, as I had no idea why it saved me. The Stormcutter got closer, and twisted its head a full 360°, while still looking at me.

''"Err... umm..." ''I managed to get out, as I was still slowly crawling away from it. The Stormcutter didn't look threatening to me, since it looked just like Shadow Cloud. Then it moved its head to me, trying to get me to hug it? I had no idea what was going on. Shadow Cloud then got up, and came to us. The Stormcutter and her showed affection towards each other. I was, still, obviously confused. Then it hit me, it was so obvious now... that Stormcutter was Shadow Cloud's mother! I got up and went up to her. Yep, she was definitely her mother.

''"Shadow Cloud your mother has been our guardian angel this whole time?" ''I jokingly questioned her. I couldn't believe it, Shadow Cloud's mother! She was... MASSIVE!

''"Woah, Stormy, will you grow this massive, too?" ''I questioned. Then that's when I heard someone crying. "Stay here, you two. I'll check on this," I told them, as I went towards the sound of the crying. There I saw Vix, crying. He was with someone, too.

“Who’s this?” I asked gently.

''“GO AWAY!!! I DON’T NEED YOU HERE!!”'' Vix shouted at me. I raised my hands in the air, and left the cell. When I left the cell, I saw Shadow Cloud's mother look menacing, with her teeth showing.

''"No, no, it's okay, he's just a friend. He's going through a hard time right now, nothing to be mad about." ''I calmed her down. I didn't want Vix to be here by himself, so I waited for him. Hours went by, and he was still in the cell. Shadow Cloud's mother showed affection one last time, before flying off somewhere. Shadow Cloud looked like she already missed her.

''"Don't worry, she'll be back, I promise." ''I said in a soothing voice. A few mintues later, Vix finally came out, and he had someone's body in his hand. I put my hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him, but he just turned away and flew off. I was understandably worried, but I didn't know where he flew off to. So I just headed back to the clubhouse, to make a start on this fireproof armour.

Sorry it came out later than expected. Also, I just realized this, but for the last 3 threads, I was the first to post a section. Oof.
