“There weren’t always dragons in this valley, it’s said that there was a Goddess many years ago who fell “madly” in love and during a battle the love of her life tried to kill her. She was angered and killed him; dragons grew here from her blood fueled with everlasting burning pain” The flowers thin golden stem a foot and a half, with two petals half a foot Purple closer to the stem and Golden.” the Flowers looks like the land was burning from fire” the man said to the woman as they sat in the field enjoying lunch admiring the Dragon flowers from afar with their town about two miles way.

“No one understood how this thin stem stand straight yet bending with the wind and is rooted so well that they stand any weather. the name came from people in amazement of this magical plant and the only thing that can light the land on fire with such beauty must be a Dragon.” the man finished. the woman Chuckled Kaleb you come up with the wildest stories at times.

Kaleb stood up and grabbed her hand and swing around. While swinging Kaleb spotted onlookers. He stopped and asked. “Julie, do you know those men watching us”

she looked over his shoulder and replied “I see a man and I don’t know him where is the other. Kaleb turned and looked over his shoulder and seen the man approaching

“Humm, I thought I seen… no matter I wonder who is he and what do he want “Kaleb said softly to Julie.

As the stranger gets closer, he greets the couple “I didn’t mean to startle you I was simple passing by and head your speaking about these beautiful flowers and could help but to ease drop, my name is Xavier”

“Hello, my name is Julie, and this is Kaleb”

“I heard you say that his story was wild. What made it wild if I may ask”

Kaleb smiled and Julie and she rolled her eyes and replied “It sounds made up”

Xavier took a few steps and plucked a flower from the ground and looks at Kaleb “see these flowers was indeed placed here by a Goddess who indeed was betrayed” he handed the flower to Julie and continued these are not any regular flower this is a spell a enchantment that was placed here for a specific reason to find the reincarnation of her love of her life. And when he is reincarnated, he will be here on this day”

Julie and Kaleb looked around and looked back at the man Kaleb looked him up and down and noticed his beat-up shoes. Dirty pant and fingernails. He smiled and said “okay go finds your friend that you was over there with and go on about your way, we don’t carry any valuables with us. And I only have 5 bucks in cash and if you go away ill give it to you just let us enjoy our day in peace”

Julie looked at Kaleb Confused Xavier looked at Julie and asked you seen another person with me also. She looked at him then and Kaleb.

Xavier took the flower out of Julie hand and asked “you mistake me for a thief, a homeless man but you have not asked how I know this info”

“Okay… how do you know this?” Kaleb asked.

“The person that you seen me with was you, only the eyes of the body that belongs to that spirt can see that spirt., that’s why I say you seen yourself. Think where did you get the story of these flowers from? It’s all inside you blocked but that will be made right.”

He handed the flower to Kaleb who stared at the flower for 5 seconds before extending his hand out to take the flower from his hands the flower turned into ash. Kaleb looked at Julie and then back to Xavier, who signaled them both to look around. The Dragon flowers all started turning to ash. Kaleb pushed Xavier. “What did you do? who are you? What are you?” he asked.

“I am nothing more than your humble servant, here to make sure that all your plans are achieved” Xavier replied

Julie grabbed Kaleb’s hand “let’s go” she said.

“I am deeply sorry my love, but the Marlock is now in his vessel” Xavier said to Julie. Julie looked at Kaleb and noticed that his eyes where no longer blue but Purple. The sun started to disappear behind the swirling storm clouds. Marlock raised his finger and fog arose. He looked at Julie who release his hand and he smiled. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and it began to rain. Xavier smiling looking around at all the magic that was flowing, He as well as a very select few with a long bloodline with magic was able to see the flow of magic casting. When the clouds came in sparks shaped like lightening flew from his lips, yet no one seen them move. His fingers looked like colorful spider webs flowing from them, when he made it rain it was like a blue cloud of smoke released from his hand.

“Spell casting is an art” Xavier said to Julie. Her eyes still locked on Marlock; Xavier smiled “people who has magic in their bloodline can see the colors that comes with casting” he said.

Marlock snapped his fingers, and the rain froze still. Julie replied to Xavier “like witches and warlocks.

Xavier giggled “in black and white yes” he replied.

“Xavier let’s get a move on it. We don’t have much time” says Marlock. “I have not recovered all my energy and I need to start preparing”

“Preparing for what? and what happen to Kaleb?”. Asked Julie.

“There is a war coming and this war will be a amazing one. Oh, and Kaleb he is ummm…. Dead.” Xavier replied to Julie as he walked past her with a smirk on his face.

She turned and ran towards Marlock. Banging his chest “bring him back, bring him back.” She yelled.

Marlock looked down at Julie with his bright purple eyes and up at the sky he grabbed her hands and pulled her closer to him looks back at her and said “Kaleb had a purpose since he was born and that was for this day to come true. Be happy that he was able to achieve greatness…. Now I am an understanding man and ill grant you one desire”

Julie looked up at him and pushed away “ I only want to be with Kaleb” as tears rolled down her check.

Marlock wiped the tears from her eyes turned around to walk away “as you want” and snapped his fingers.

Julie dropped to the floor instantly “let us be on our way, hopefully my wife is still waiting for me” Marlock said to Xavier.

Xavier stepping over Julie lifeless body and replied “well… it has been many years since you were locked away don’t get your hopes up Marlock”

Marlock throw his hand over Xavier shoulders “for the hope of everyone else she did move on without me, me and Tonya was always no good together”.
