Chapter Sixteen

“HAYDEN!” A shout rang out. Hayden was still in the tent looking over the maps and charts when he heard his name screamed.

He wasn’t sure how much time had passed since the others had left. He didn’t know who was yelling at him or what was wrong.

He didn’t need to know any of that as he tore out of the tent, his hand on his sword hilt. The sun was starting to set, and Draek was the only dragon still outside of the tent.

Draek! Get ready. Hayden shouted as he ran and jumped onto Draek’s front leg, vaulting into the saddle as quickly as he could. The wind wasn’t blowing, the world seemed to be standing still as Hayden tried to understand what was going on.

“HAYDEN!” The shout came again. It was coming from the ridge that was between the tent he had been in and the rest of their camp. Hayden watched as a lone rider on a horse came thundering down the path.

Let the leader’s dragons know something is going on, and they need to be ready. Hayden said.

Draek did not respond, but Hayden knew that he was relaying the message. The rider stopped a ways before Draek, the horse refused to get any closer to the dragon.

“What is it?” Hayden shouted to the rider.

“The Metallic Pyramid, it's moving.” The rider shouted back. Hayden and Draek did not have to ask what that meant.

Draek jumped into the air before the rider could say anything else, there wasn’t time for that anymore. The sudden movement sent the horse in a frenzy, and Hayden saw the rider get bucked from the saddle.

Dragons. Hayden said as Draek climbed higher. They could see the Metallic Pyramid, it loomed over everything, but they couldn’t see anything moving.

They assumed that they meant the doors were opening up which could only mean that they were releasing their dragons.

Tell the leaders to get their dragons in the air and meet with us. Hayden said. He refused to take his eyes off the Metallic Pyramid. He squinted and strained as he tried to see if one of the large doors had in fact opened.

Draek roared as he leveled out and began a wide circle around Celestial City. From their current angle, they could only see one full side of the pyramid at a time.

Within a few seconds, there were five other dragons in the air flying behind Draek. Even Kirin and Nignra were keeping pace with Draek.

They want to know what is going on. Draek said once they were all together.

Tell them what the rider said and what we are looking for. Hayden instructed. He could feel his heart beating so fast he thought he was going to throw up. His right leg was shaking against the saddle uncontrollably, and he felt like his skin was crawling.

Even the air seemed colder than usual, and his body kept wanting to shake. Hayden was nervous, and he was losing control of his body.

Tell them to spread the word to the other dragons to prepare to take off and have the ground troops assemble.
