Chapter 77: The Return

"I am detective Camille Stanza." Camille replied to the small queen. "Who are you? Where am I? Why are there skeletons all over the floor?"

"Why do you have that stone!?" Rose demanded.

"This is evidence." Camille replied. "Now please explain to me what is happening."

"I used a magical spell to summon my brother here." Rose explained. "He is the owner of that stone, why did he give it to you?! He should have it!"

"This has been in storage for over fifteen years!" Camille retorted. "I was just going through my mother's old case files since I recently became a detective. She found this stone during a serial killer investigation."

"No. No! No!!!" Rose yelled. "That man back then! The one who killed me! That was fucking Zell?!"

"What do you mean?" Camille asked.

"Look, you are obviously from Earth." Rose replied. "That would mean that my brother is my killer! I don't know how he did it, but he somehow traveled through time and universes to kill me!"

"You look alive to me?" Camille asked while putting her hand on her gun.

"This is my second life!" Rose answered. "Try to keep up! I am Rose Neuval, queen of the kingdom of Neuval. I apologize for summoning you here against your will, allow me to make it up to you. I will grant you land in my kingdom, and you may live a fulfilling life that is worry free."

"Can't you send me back?" Camille asked. "I have a boyfriend and a life back on Earth. I don't want to be wherever this is."

Rose walked towards Camille slowly reaching her hand out to comfort Camille. She placed her hand on Camille's shoulder and smiled wickedly. "I have you!" She rejoiced.

"What do you mean?" Camille asked.

"You can still talk of your own free will?!" Rose yelled, surprised. "Shit!" She yelled and snatched the stone from Camille and activated it. Teleporting herself back to her kingdom.

Camille just stood there bewildered. "The hell was that?" She said to herself as she examined the jade chamber. The freezing air started to chill her body. "More importantly, how do I get out of here…"

She found herself drawn to one of the arcane circles on the wall. It appeared as if it were glowing. She could not help herself but to draw closer to it and investigate. She reached out and rubbed her fingers across the runes. As she did, they changed to a brighter illuminance. After she traced the entire pattern, the circle became a white void.

A hand wearing a plate armor gauntlet that was raven black appeared grabbing the side of the circle. Another hand grabbed the other side and a man dressed in polished black armor emerged. He was tall with long black hair and pale skill. He had two twisted horns atop his head and eyes as red as blood. His pupils were like that of a snake, and he had a short goatee. His armor covered every inch of him except for his head and he was adorned with a long silken cape that matched his eyes.

"Human, I thank you for freeing me." He said, his voice as deep and smooth as a river. "It has been eons since I became trapped in this hellish trap. Tell me what do you know about the outside world?"

"Look man." Camille said. "I don't know what the hell is going on! I am starting to think I got a contact high or something from the evidence locker and this is all in my head. Because this is all too trippy to be real!"

"I see." He replied. "It seems circumstances around the outside remain a mystery to us both. As for who I am, you may address me as Sid. I am the Elder Black Dragon; I am he who stole eternal life from the gods."

Camille pinched herself on her cheek as hard as she could. "Ouch!" She screamed out. "Come on Camille wake up this is all a dream, someone just spiked you with drugs as a prank. Yeah, this is all a prank!"

"Do all humans talk to themselves now?" Sid asked, looking concerned.

"Oh shit." Camille fell to her knees. "This is all real. Like one of the damned anime my boyfriend watches."

"I don't know what this anime you speak of is." Sid said. "I can assure you this is all very much real. Now human I assume that you are cold and would like to leave this place. Am I correct?"

"Yes." Camille said, starting to shiver.

"As a thank you for freeing me from my prison, I shall take you to my isle." He explained. "I have a grand estate there that you will be welcomed to stay at until you figure things out. I have much I need to discuss with my kind so please make your decision quickly."

"The alternative is freezing to death so please take me with you." Camille replied.

"Excellent." He said. "If you would please follow me then. The exit to this labyrinth of a cave should be this way."

The two of them walked with purpose and exited the cave to find a land of snow and ice all around them. "So cold!" Camille yelled, now fidgeting in place to stay warm.

"Stand back." Sid said as he began to transform into a massive dragon. His plate armor morphed into scales and his silken cape became his crimson webbing for his wings.

"Oh shit!" Camille yelled. "When you said dragon, you meant a dragon!"

"Of course, human." He said, his voice now reverberating through the tundra. "Now climb onto my back and hold on. I will have us to my home in no time.

Camille did as instructed and climbed atop the dragon's back. After she was settled and holding on tightly, the old dragon began to flap his wings. The force from the wind cleared the snow around them forming a massive snow drift in the shape of a crater.

Sid took to the sky and flew towards the isle of dragons.
