Chapter 6: Heir Of The Dragon’s Blood

I know why Aurora didn't say good bye, I was going to see her later again. That thought was exhilarating. She rarely came over ever since I moved. Even when she did, she never stayed over like she used to. Perhaps it was because we were maturing? That or it was because she knew I was pushing her away. However, now I know how much she still cherished me. I was so excited, I took the train again for the first time in forever. I wanted to get home quickly, I did not want to dawdle.
the sun was still setting. It's orange colour painted the train with a comforting colour. It was empty. I suppose it was later than normal. "6.45pm" it said on my phone. Perhaps I just got lucky and missed the crowd? It didn't matter, I could barely even contain my excitement. I wonder if Aurora is gonna stay over like she used to. I am grinning from ear to ear just at the thought of it.
Out of the blue, I felt a shake when I was still sitting down. I snapped out of my daydream,standing on my feet. I was wide eyed from the shock and fear, I could feel beads of cold sweat rolling down my cheeks. My hands were sweaty. What was that? Turbulence ? On a train?
Suddenly, the shaking happened again, this time much more violent. I nearly lost balance and leaned on a pole nearby to stabilise myself. This had to be some kind of bad dream. The sunset pallet that once gave the train a warm feeling was now eerie and frightful. I need to wake up.
There was one final shake. This one felt like an earthquake. I could not stabilise myself, yelping as I fell on the ground, hitting my back. As I did, the lights were all turned off and only darkness surrounded me. It was pitch black, peering into the veil of nothingness as the abyss stared back at me. Am I dead? I couldn't see anything. It was dark, and am quivering. I have never been so scared in my life.
Wait, I feel something. I could still feel my hand moving. However, the air around me felt like it has changed. It was no longer air conditioned like the train compartment. It felt fresh, and warm. I had to wake up. I stumbled to my feet, feeling slight weakness in my knees. I focused all my energy inwards, gathering it in my core and it my hands. If I was still in the train, maybe a huge jolt of electricity can jump start the lights. My powers are no where near as strong as Aurora, and this might leave me exhausted, but i had to try.

I thrusted my hands outwards as a beam of yellow light flew to the ceiling. To my surprise, the ceiling was 10 feet above me. Now i knew, i was no longer in the train. As it hit the ceiling, the spot I hit became illuminated and that light spread to the rest of the cave in a flash. The effect was blinding as i had to cover my eyes.
I was breathing heavily, preparing for the worst. I had to brave it. There was no other path of escape. I walked. Forward and noticed that I was standing on an isolated platform. The ground beneath my feat was of stone. The light that illuminated the cave now i realise are actually crystals, infused with my electricity from before. It seems that the platform is elevated with no clear entry or exit. The water that surrounded me was crystal clear, pristine, untainted. I was completely dumbfounded. First, I had gotten completely transported to a different place. Not only that, but this place was absolutely beautiful. It looked surreal, too clean.
"Thy who inherits the blood of the dragons. Step forth and claim your rightful place." A voice, soft as a whisper, played in my head. It was firm, yet far away. I looked around, now on edge. Who was that? Soon, a pedestal raised itself from the ground in the centre of the platform. I watched in awe as a small stool like pedestal was being raise, with serpents wrapped around it for ornamental design.
"That which thou seeketh shall now be bestowed unto thee. Heir if the dragon's blood. Progenitor of Dragons. Overlord of the elements. Step forth, and claim your rightful place as king." I was overwhelmed now, with fear and anticipation. But before I stepped forwards, i looked around once more. Was i in a dream? This cannot be real. There was no one around. No one could have said those words. But it also could not have been directed at anyone else.
I mustered every ounce of courage i had left in my body, braving my fears, i stepped forward. As i did, i noticed a light on my chest. With every cautious step i took, the light glowed brighter and brighter. However, i did not stop. I was now in front of the pedestal. The light on my chest was now as bright as the sun, emitting a Low humming noise. However, i was strangely unfazed. On the pedestal, i could now see its contents, was two glove like garments. They were carved into the form of dragons heads. It was made of a golden metallic material which covered the lower forearm segment as well as the palm and most of the fingers. The fingertips, hand and upper forearm were all made of a transparent crystalline material.
These gauntlets, they were mesmerising. They were like diamonds, shining brilliantly in the dark. I felt it calling to me. " Reach out, and realise your destiny." The voice spoke one final time. As it did, my body moved on its own.. There was a red barrier covering the gauntlets made of electrical energy, i knew it would burn my hand off, but my body was moving on its own.
