“Here he comes,” shouted Prince Adam.
All stood as the King approached. In his hand
he was carrying a scepter of white gold made from the chain of the golden
necklace. King Omni had placed the ruby Dragon Eye stone in the scepter. He had
built the scepter with his own hands, just as he had formed his children with
his own hands. The King walked down past the little dragons to the shore. There
he bent down and dipped the scepter in the Golden Sea, the water’s new name.
The sea and the scepter shone bright, and a rainbow filled the sky from the scepter
across to the opposite seashore. The King smiled as he stood upright and looked
at the dragons.
“Touch
the scepter, my children, and bathe in the Golden Sea water, for the scepter
has made it pure and healing,” King Omni said.
The dragons on shore rejoiced and
started to form a line. The first dragon was Prince Adam. He touched the
scepter and looked back at the King sheepishly.
“Go ahead,” said the King laughing.
Prince Adam slowly walked into the
water, dipped down to his shoulder, and walked back out. He was a prince again.
Princess Eva was close behind as always and did the same, coming out of the
water as the princess she once had been.
Each dragon touched the scepter and swam in
the Golden Sea, and as each dragon came out of the sea, they turned back into a
royal child.
“What
about the others, father?” Asked Prince Adam with conviction in his voice, “They
ran far and wide. How will we get the rest of our royal family back?”
The King
put his hand on Prince Adam’s shoulder but addressed all the young royals. He
looked into each face as he said
“You must help me get our family back, my
children. We
shall search far and wide to bring our royal family back together. You shall
bring them to me, and I will offer them the royal scepter and ask them to bathe
in the sea. Some will take a long time to believe they can be changed. To make
matters worse, the dragon has many generations of eggs hatching into baby
dragons. These dragons have never been royal children. It will be much harder
to get them to realize they are from our Kingdom and not from Luca’s. We must
convince them and bring them home. Your studies will change. Not only will you
study diplomacy, but you will also need to learn to make shields and armor to
protect yourselves from the dragon and those who don’t understand who they are.
From now on, we quest to unite our family.”
