Dragons Blood.

A travel of patience.

The carriage vigorously shakes over the rocks on the path. The wheels bounce over each rock with a thud causing James's head to bounce off the carriage walls. james wakes with a jolt from the thud.

"Ouch", james yells out with an irritated tone.

"Where the hell am I and what the hell did you do to me?".

"Oh now now boy, its not that bad" . Kimnoth proclaims to James with a grunt.

"Not that bad?" , james questions Kimnoth with a angry irritated tone to his voice.

"I merely put you in a sleep spell cause you were giving me a headache with your whining. Kimnoth says as he rolls his eyes.

"Whinning I don't whine", James says as he crosses his arms and sits back in the cart as it rocks vigorously across the rocks and forces james's body to sway savagely side to side.

"do you think you could not find every rock on the path?".

"Boy you could always get out and walk" , kimnoth says with a sly grin on his face.

"Nope your not getting it that easy I have no idea why your even forcing me to go with you" james states with a stubborn tone.

Kimnoth lets out a huff and holts the carriage with a sudden jolt just as james was about to fix his seat up as he was in a crouching position forcing him to lose his balance and fall out the carriage.

Kimnoth turns around to face james just as he watches james tumble out of the carriage and into a muddy puddle of water. The wizard bursts into a whole hearted laughter as he observes james pop up covered in mud with a very dissatisfied look written all over his face.

"So what am I to you a peace offering to a dragon so it can eat me"? . James queries as Kimnoth bursts into laughter once again to the boys absurd remark.

James tries to flick the mud off his face with his hands . as he mumbles something incoherent under his breath.

"Boy first of all, Dragons don't eat humans well Ventor doesn't anyway!", Kimnoth explains as he turns to James and places the cart down on the ground. "They eat wildlife especially fish and funnily enough and I don't know why but they also love chilli peppers. Secondly You must come with me because you are special and I must take you too Ventor". The Wizard explains with a grin as he shakes his head in amusement.

"What do you mean I am special Dude your so vague?" , James bursts out as he jumps out in front of Kimnoth demanding to know more.

"So so many questions boy! Why?" The wizard let's out a deep sigh. "Boy you give me headache". Kimnoth shakes his head in frustration to the chatter. A life of isolation from people has meant many years of absolute silence except for the times he spoke out loud in thought.

James crosses his arms and stands in front of kimnoth and refuses to move.

"We are not going any further old man until you tell me Everything I need to know, If I am the reason we are going to Kondor,Where ever the hell that is? then I think I have the right to know!". James demands.

"Ok boy! But I can not go into great detail here the forest is not safe. Kimnoth explains as he steps towards the boy and whispers, The forest has ears, so listen very carefully boy I will only say this once here. 147 years ago I was told that I will find a boy who will save our world from an evil growing within the lands. He will possess the ability to absorb a witches curse of death and survive.

The scriptures of Kondor States he will be so powerful he can enter both the dragon world and human world. He will be able summon dragons from the dragon world and they will be at his command and they will worship him".

James stands wide mouthed . "Your 147 years old!" , James notes in shock. "Your not just old your ancient".

Kimnoth shakes his head and laughs. "Your not shocked by the fact that you could very well be some kind of supreme being, No no no your shocked by my age". Kimnoth stands with his hands on his hips. "But no I am not 147 years old I am 180 odd just so you know". Kimnoth corrects James with a smile and an amused look.

"But you don't look 180 odd years old ". James states as he scratches his head trying his best to understand how he could be so old yet look like a 40 something year old man.

"Again with the age, Do you not fathom anything else I told you?". Kimnoth says in frustration.

"Yeah you said something about the scriptures of Kondor and dragons and what not ". James states vaguely realising he didn't pay that much attention. he was too shocked by the age thing .

"So in other words you heard blah blah blah blah 147 years", Kimnoth shakes his head in disbelief.

"Um Yeah maybe" , James confesses to his own ignorance.

Kimnoth grabs the handles of the cart and starts walking and shakes his head. "Boy if I actually had the ability to die you certainly would be the death of me".

"But I need to know more, please tell me?" James requests.

"Boy Not here" , Kimnoth states sternly. "plus you must be willing to listen carefully, and not get distracted by some facts that aren't important like my age for example".

James is about to speak once more but kimnoth draws out his wand and says "Jimnox". As he points his wand to James's throat and casts a silence spell on james giving him the inability to speak.

"Ah finally some peace and quite" Kimnoth says in a playful tone and a smile of satisfaction.

Kimnoth and James travel through the forest in silence to the much dissatisfaction of james. As they continue on their travels along the narrow rocky road a great Evil beast lays in wait for their arrival, a beast with the intent to not allow the scriptures of Kondor to be fullfilled.
