The Silver Revenge

Chapter 25: Out of Time Part 2

"Okay," Silver still found it confusing, but in a way it made sense, "What are the twenty species of dragons anyway?"

"Well, there are the ones you know. The seven main elements, then electric, ice, acid and so on and so forth. The ones that aren't in your time...." The life dragon thought for a moment, "You have gravity don't you."

Silver nodded.

"Okay, and you have rift as well, that means there is only chaos, crystal, spirit and... weather. Wait, weather dragons did come back, but then went extinct again," the life dragon looked at Silver.

"I didn't know that," The metal dragon titled her head.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that did happen. I remember O'hen being angry about it," Serel chuckled slightly.

"Well done Silver!" the time drake called out as the silver dragoness slowly glided around the cave, only barely beating her wings, "I would say you're nearly ready to head back!"

Silver grinned down at him and beat her wings again in an attempt to fly faster, and only hissed in pain as her still slightly damaged spine protested against activity. Not wanting to experience it again she slowly glided down to the floor and landed as softly as she was able to. With a smile she glanced at the two. She could fly again! It seemed like forever since she was last able to leave the ground.

"Here," Serel poured a small amount of life energy into Silver' back, reducing the dull pain that had begun to throb once again.

"You sure you can't heal it directly from here?" asked the metal dragon.

"I wish I could, but backs are very hard to heal, and I think you may still have a small crack somewhere in there," she sighed, "A more skilled healer probably would be able to, but as I said, I'm not very powerful."

"It's fine. You did your best," Silver said.

"You're healing faster then I expected," O'hen stated, walking over to them, his ominous power washing through the room, "It's good. I'd say that you'd be ready soon."

"Great! This place is getting a bit boring... no offence," she added quickly.

"None taken," he laughed, "Why do you think I leave here so often?"

She nodded and then asked a question that had been on her mind for a while, "Hey, if I can ask you, what happened to my friends after that fight that left me like this? I mean, they were pretty batted and bruised. You said they were fine, but I just want to know."

"I can do better then tell you, I can show you," the time dragon said with a grin, "Watch this."

He turned and walked toward the white spider web energy that represented time. Slowly it began to move, scrolling along the wall. It began to get faster and faster until it came to a sudden stop. The white energy grew, almost, zooming into a specific strand of the web. Images flashed by of different events, to fast for Silver to see them, until it stopped, revealing the inside of a large cave. It was raining on the outside, with thunder and lightning. A waterfall formed by the rain fell over the mouth of the cave in large gullets of water, cascading into the ocean below. Two dragons sat in the cave. Merene, who was glaring in Silver's direction, and Retrix, who was curled up in the corner of the cave with one wing tucked closely to his side and the other limply stretched out.

"Where's Zepos?" asked Silver, not finding the electric dragon anywhere.

"He's there, we are just watching from his point of view. I found his timeline, basically, and this is what happens about a day after your disappearance from his point of view," explained O'hen.
