Chapter 6: "Captain's" log (Emirella)

I got bored and made a mental "captain's" log.

April 24, Year of blood: After resting for five hours we set for to western sea heading at a speed of 16.8 zots (14/lph) southwest for a little over an hour and than we reached the sea of Walla-Weepu. We stopped for a snack of catoblepas and headed over the sea at a full 17 zots. After two hours we spotted a island and landed. After lighting the fire and eating, a knight named Sigurd told of his epic battle with the voyager of seven planes, his healing by a damsel named Valerina, and Valerina's disappearance.Midway through I got bored and fell asleep.

April 25, Year of blood: I dreamed of a knight in black armor. On his chest was a blinking red eye. His garments were made of midnight. He was floating in the air over a black vortex. A phantom handed him something. Then the dream ended.
After I awake everyone reprimanded me for oversleeping.There was also no breakfast remaining.We than set off at an exhausting pace of 18 zots (15/lph). After three exhausting hours we saw the Kracken. The sea demon had quarter league long tentacles and spit acid. We could not pass it and it could move impossibly fast. It was coming in for a feast. It spew acid and some of it hit me. Oh how it burned. Geraldeier than attacked the beast. It shrieked, shot acid at Geraldeier and wrapped a tentacle around Woort. Geraldeier attacked the tentacle and it let go. More joined the fight and we managed the get it to retreat. We were than forced to land on the next island we saw due to are wounds.It was about a league from the Kracken. . Sigurd was about to continue his tale when Anora interrupted and made up a horrible tale about her nonexistent fight with with the voyager and her getting healed by a nonexistent knight who than disappeared. Sigurd turn red, or at least his eyes did because its hard to tell if red dragons turn red. We than slept

May 1, Year of blood: We had to stay for several days waiting tell we were in flying condition. The flight to the island did not leave us well. All the while we had to listen to boring stories.
After awhile we took flight.Geraldeier made us go at a impossible speed of 21 zots to make up for lost time.After flying for an eternity we stopped to rest then went back to flying. After a second eternity we stopped on a island and stayed there.

May 2, Year of blood, I dreamed of the black knight again.This time he was engaged in battle with a man in gold armor with a sword covered in runes. The black knight yelled "How can you care for savage beasts, Freek-o-Da-lama?" then he let out a laugh the sounded like a cross between a hyena, a cicada, and a banshee."There only purpose is there blood,"he continued. Then Freeko spoke "Voyager, prepare to bleed and die, for this will end in your blood." The voyager of seven planes spoke again "Than prepare to be slaughtered like I slay them!"With one of his blades he held back Da -llamas sword and impaled him with the other. I woke up and screamed. So did everyone else. When they realized there was no danger they began to question the kings decision to let his youngest daughter go to Grendaw.

The rest of the log is to boring or embarrassing to reveal the public. We arrived on May 15.

Chapter 1: The Hunt for the Thousand Tears (Emirella)

My name is Emirella. I one of the daughters of the dragon king Rubiellin. My scales are white and my eyes are green, hence the name.The following tale tells of the hunt for the thousand tears,the befriending of the human Freek-o-Da-Llama, my slaying of the dragon-fiend Cyrus, and much more.


Illeelo the messenger came to my room. Even though he was a pitiful dragon I miss him. He had gray scales and blue eyes.His head was large and his body small.He was a coward but he stood up in the time of greatest need. He told me the my father called for me and I must go to the great hall.

On my way there I noticed several of the knights and my brother Geraldeier were also going to the hall. Geraldeier is a green dragon with gray eyes. He is as brave as two lions, five orks, ten bulls, fifty mice and one hundred Illeelos. The also received a message from Rubiellin.

When we arrived at the great hall we saw that all the children of the king and a great number of knights. Then the king entered. Rubiellin is a massive black dragon with red eyes. His magnificence is to great for words.

" The Thousand Tears has been stolen. I have called all you to form a series of search parties to find it. If any of you feel unworthy to take upon this task then he or she must leave now. It will be a dangerous task .Assemble yourselves into three groups."

The Thousand tears is a multi-colored gem of great power. It got its name from its bloody history that I'd be happy to tell you later. It was in the possession of the dragons but telling who's possession it is in now will spoil the surprise.

Those of us who were not cowards assembled into three groups. In my group was Geesha, Edwin,Geraldeier,Saphiren,Anora,Philburt, Woort, and several Knights who I did not know the names.

"The group on the left goes to Murton, the group in the middle stays is Alswen, and the final group goes to Grendaw."


He than gave us his blessing and we set off for Grendaw.
