Chapter 18

Cassy sat mesmerized by the tale of how her great-grandmother Abigail came to be the Champion. She looked over at Roupert and could see the sadness in his eyes as he spoke of Abigail, and wondered if she had returned his feelings.

“I don’t understand something. If Frier knew of his father and mother while he was still in the egg, why doesn’t he know any of that now?”

“You see, when Queen Privlana cast her protection spell over the Dragon clan, she also cast a spell that would prevent Frier from remembering once he came forth from the egg.”

Cassy’s eyes lit up with excitement. “You were forbidden to tell him, weren’t you?”

“Yes, I was forbidden to tell him the truth, and all memory of his true identity was stricken from the minds of the subjects of the Kingdom until Alona’s curse is lifted.” Roupert looked at her with sadness clearly showing on his face.

Cassy shook her head, amazed at how everything fell into place. “So tell me, what happened? Why wasn’t Abigail able to lift the curse and restore the Kingdom?”

Roupert hung his head, as tears filled his eyes. “We were able to get Abigail into the dungeon and were about to reunite the sacred Breast Plate with Queen Privlana, but something happened that none of us expected,” his voice cracked as his emotions overwhelmed him.

Cassy held her breath, waiting for him to continue.

“I don’t know how it happened, but Alona had somehow set a trap for us. Once Abigail was only mere feet away from Queen Privlana and powerful force wrapped around Abigail and held her in place. I tried to free her, but I was unsuccessful. I could see the fear in Abigail’s eyes as the force darkened and began to crush her.”

Cassy’s eyes were wide with fear, as Roupert told the tale, and she wondered if she would meet the same fate.

“Abigail cried out for me to save her, but I couldn’t move; for my feet were held fast to the floor by some magical power. Alona laughed a wicked laugh and slowly walked toward Abigail with her hands outstretched. It was then when Queen Privlana cried out for the power of the Blood Key to save Abigail. Just as Alona was about to rip the Blood Key from the Breast Plate on Abigail’s chest; she vanished, and then I awoke in my hut.”

Cassy leaned back, holding her hand over the Blood Key. “Wow; that was too close.”

Roupert nodded his head then wiped the tears from his eyes. “I had promised to protect Abigail, but I failed.”

“You can’t blame yourself for what happened. Someone must have alerted Alona, giving her the opportunity to set a trap. You were lucky, as it could have ended much worse for the two of you.”

Roupert looked up at Cassy, and again saw Abigail in her eyes. “May I ask you a question?”

“Certainly, anything,” Cassy reached over and gently touched his hand.

Roupert swallowed then lifted his eyes, meeting hers. “Has she lived a happy life?”

Cassy saw the sadness in his eyes then it came to her.
