Gathering the Facts...

With the information that Ffion and Dulbbe had received, everyone realized that it was time to meet and discuss what was to be done.  It was quickly decided to hold the meeting at the Shadows' Realm castle since both Ffion and Dulbbe were already there and it might be helpful for everyone to have the Dragon orb available if any more questions might come up.  Soon the council was all there to include the one whom any decision that came out of this meeting would most affect - Dree, the new Moon Dragon.
Griselda then spoke up saying "We have learned something about our past.  We now are aware who Aralt is and I have told you of my experience with the magical scroll and of the forming of the Wish Dragon clan by Aralt.  It wasn't the family nurturing clan I grew up in that's for sure.  Who knew that the clan originally was created to control the Dragons more than to work with them," the Dowager said shaking her head slightly side to side as she remembered her vision of that council meeting.

"We have also heard from King Dulbbe and Queen Ffion about the potential dangers of a ruling Wish Dragon according to the past stories of the She-Dragon," finished Griselda.  ​
Everyone looked at each other, waiting to see if someone would start the conversation they all knew had to happen.  It was Awena who began.  "We need to create a plan to minimize the chaos of the arrival of the Herald and the Dragon's return.  I have searched the records of the Sleeping Sisters and have found nothing that will aid us in this problem.  The only ancient text or prophesy that was discovered is extremely vague.  The most we can confirm is that all realms are in danger if the Dragon's are no more and the game is lost.  We have not found out what is meant by 'this game of power' nor what would make all of the Dragons disappear," she said and sat down on one of the many chairs in the audience chamber.  
"You have all heard what we have found out about the returning Dragons.  Do you  have any further questions of the Dragon orb?" Griselda asked the others.  "If not - then now is the time we must decide what we can do.  The one major question we cannot answer is does Aralt know we now have a Moon Dragon here in the Realms?"  What do you think of this Dree?" finished Griselda as all turned to look at the young Moon Dragon.
Dree was totally caught off guard.  He had been listening to everyone's discoveries and was picturing in his mind what the other Dragons would look like and how they would act, but he had not been following the Dowager's final comments.  So with a startled look  he realized everyone was staring at him and waiting for his comments.
After a few gulps, he finally started to speak.  "Excuse me for not paying attention at everything that has been said here, but I have been listening and thinking.  I understand both from your discoveries of the Orb and from the reading I have been doing from some books that Granny Flare gave to me what it meant to be a Wish Dragon.  I am just now getting my wings under me in trying to find out what a Moon Dragon may be.  I am hoping this Herald can help me discover what it is that I am supposed to do," he said.  Taking a slow breath Dree continued, "But, I also know that he is a stranger to me while all of you are my family.  I may be a Dragon, and formerly of the Wish Dragon Clan, but you have all raised me and have helped me become what I am now so you are my clan too.  I do not know if there is anything I can do to prepare for the coming of my kin, but I do feel that I should learn all that I can to be prepared for their arrival," Dree told the others.

"Dree, you are part of our family too," answered Efem as she walked over to him and squeezed his hand.  "After talking to the trees in the Sacred Grove, I now have gotten to the root of what they were trying to tell me.  It is this, you can prepare all you want, but when the game of power starts, all you can do is play along and hope you know the rules.  We will help you all that we can, but in the end, it will be your decision as to what will happen.  I am sorry to have to put all of that burden upon you, but I believe that you are up to the task and we will all support you."
Everyone in the room stood and bowed to the young Moon Dragon to show him their support.  It was almost too much for the Dragon, but he finally did look back at them all and said a simple "Thank you."
It was then that the Goodie Sisters and Parsley entered the chamber and announced that the meal they had been preparing was ready... was anyone hungry?  Dree started laughing and said "No, I'm Dree now - but I am still Hungry!"

Young Aralt...

Aralt wasn't in a rush to travel to the Realms in spite of all the hullabaloo.  He decided travelling by Golden Slipper Coach would get him there just as fast and in style for he did love making an entrance.  So as he was comfortably, seated he started to doze as he made up for that noisy chiming alarm that had happened earlier in the morning intruding into his sleep.  
As he dozed his mind wandered to his first Dragon encounter a long time in the past.  It was on a walk through woods like he was traveling through now when it happened and that walk changed everything for him.
Nothing young Aralt liked better than to go exploring out in the trees behind the village where he lived.  Aralt grew up in a small elven community that bordered along a river where huge ancient trees surrounded it.  It was with those trees that Aralt learned many things.
For the trees were his tutors and their grove was his school ground as well as where he played.  One day he came across this little creature.  He looked snake-like but it also had a large head and legs.  His curiosity was stronger than being safe for he bent down and picked up the strange creature and started to stroke it. 
The snake-like creature began to hum and purr for it liked the touch of the elven boy stroking its head.  The music from the Dragon touched something in the elven boy's heart and the pair soon became inseparable even though deep down the elf knew he needed to keep his new friend secret for some reason.
Picture
The spring soon gave way to summer and as fall approached with it's every changing colors, Aralt spent what few free hours he had with the Dragon as his studies with the trees continued.  He was now up to the study of the language of Runes.  As the trees taught him about them they would tell him where to go to see the Runes for each had a purpose for where it was placed.
Picture
One day as Aralt was walking by a stream that emptied out into a large river he discovered a Rune he hadn't seen before.  It was not one of the many that the trees had taught him about, but from what he did understand, it was a signpost of sorts for something to find their way.  
​He decided to follow the dirt path it was near to see what he would discover and maybe learn more about it's meaning.  As he continued down the path, another Rune appeared and then another.  What Aralt did not know at that time was that he had discovered the pathway for Dragonet's to find their way home after being born.  Dragons were like salmon, for after being born each needed to return home to become the Dragon it was meant to be.  Home to a Dragon was returning to a Dragon community, for only there would they learn their part in the magic or they would be destined to become a mere dragon again as before they were changed by the Nyte Shade.
When Aralt realized that the strange creature he had discovered earlier in the year, now his closest friend, was actually a Dragonet and that it wouldn't evolve or change unless it was able to follow this river back to its home he knew what he needed to do.
So it was with a sad heart that the next day he placed his little Dragonet into the stream by the path so it could continue its journey home that had been interrupted when the elven boy discovered and befriended it.  But it wasn't long into the stream when the Dragonet remembered the love the boy had given it which was stronger than the call to return home.  It decided to stay the way it was and remain with the boy, forsaking the calling.  It turned back to the elven boy and they agreed they would stay together.
Little did they know that this one simple act sent a ripple through the Dragon's world.  For no Dragonet had ever not returned since receiving the magic from the Nyte Shade.  This was unacceptable!
One day as Aralt and his friend where playing outside, two golden and very tall Dragons carrying spears in their hands appeared.  They came upon the Dragonet playing with Aralt, picked it up and simply walked away towards the path with the rune never to be seen again by the surprised young elf.
That was the first time Aralt heard a Dragon speak in his mind.  "You will not have him," one of the golden Dragons said as they left with his friend.  It would be many years later before he would meet his friend, the Dragonet, again and things would not be the same.

Magical Beans...

The chimes finally stopped after Aralt crawled grumpily out of bed to do his packing for a trip he still wasn't sure he wanted to go on.  "I need my Brew!" he muttered to himself.

Taking a few minutes to whip it together he then
 took a deep breath, inhaling the sweet smell of his drink made from his magical beans.  Nothing started his day off better than his first mug of his special blend.  
​It was those mornings where he could enjoy his drink in silence that helped focus and energize him.  "I still have those blasted chimes going off in my head,"  grumbled Aralt.  "I just might need a double shot this morning," he thought to himself.
"Dragon's will be the death of me yet," he growled as he continuing drinking.  It wasn't as if Aralt talked to himself more than anyone else.  It was that since he was a herald, he found out long ago that he talked out loud more than others.  "So what if I talk out loud," he told himself, "it's not like I hear strange voices telling me what to do."  The problem was that occasionally he did hear voices in his head.  Dragon voices.  "It's all because of that emerald," he told himself as he was deciding what to wear and what else to pack for the journey.  "I better check to make sure I have packed the emerald dragon heart," he reminded himself.  
"I'll need it for sure if I am going to communicate with the Dragons," he thought.  "Who knew discovering that emerald stone would enhance my ability to 'mind-talk' with Dragons.  Though the first time I went into a Dragon's mind was like talking to a bouncing child who had drank my magical brew.  No direction  and just jumping all over the place," he remembered.
"I'll need it too before facing the Council," Aralt mumbled to himself.  "It always helps in persuading the Council members to see things my way, and seeing my way is the only right way."

As Aralt turned to check that the emerald Dragon Heart stone was indeed packed in his travel bag, he took one last look around the room.  There on top of his dresser was his gift from the ruling she-Wish Dragon.  The corolla had come directly from the Wish Dragon's personal horde.  
​While she had been trying to buy Aralt's favor, she didn't realize she had actually given him the perfect portal for controlling her Dragons.  "If that cantankerous old she-demon of a Wish Dragon only knew what her bribe did," smiled Aralt.  For every Dragon had their pile of gold to sleep on knowing that gold was a perfect conduit for magical energy to pass through.  It was this extra power that also increased Aralt's mind-talking ability to her dominions giving him the ability to persuade them.
"I am the only thing that keeps these Dragons from creating total chaos and havoc in the Realms," he told himself each time he used the corolla and the Dragon Heart stone together.  "And I am the only one who knows what's best for them too," he said as he took one last took in his room and started out the door with his packed bags.

The Orb's Answers...

Dulbbe needed to act quickly before Ffion started yelling at the orb again about it not answering her questions and before he lost his train of thought.  Adjusting his glasses so he could look deeper into the orb he asked,  "Orb, tell us about the Herald and Dragons returning,"
Ffion gave him a quick glare and then realized that the orb did not immediately go into its standard response of "Your question is incomplete..."  Returning her gaze back to the orb, it stopped flashing and began to speak.
"The Herald, Aralt, is preparing his travels now and will return to this Realm before the Dragons arrive.  Once he has returned the Dragons will be able to follow his path." 
"How long will that take?" asked Ffion to the orb. 

​"The Herald will arrive soon.  How long after that for the Dragons to arrive will depend on what the Herald does to summon them," the orb answered.
"And then you said the Shadows' King will return?" asked Dulbbe.

​"Yes," was the short response returned by the orb.
Turning to the Queen, Dulbbe smiled. "See, the Shadows' King is safe and he is returning.  Now we need to find out as much as we can about the Dragons' return to help the others.  Don't you agree?"
Picture
He could see the consternation on Ffion's face, but she was her father's daughter and he had taught her well about being a ruler.  The people of her realm must come first.
"You are right," she answered.  "I am sorry... but I worry so about my father and I miss him so!" she said with a tear at the corner of one eye.  It was at that moment that Dulbbe wanted to take her in his arms and comfort her but still he hesitated.  "I still am just a bookkeeper," he thought to himself.  "I will one day be worthy."
Turning to the orb, Dulbbe asked his next question.  "Tell us what you can about this Herald."
"The Herald is the one assigned by the Great Council of the Realms.  He will be wearing a dragon insignia since he is in communication with the Dragons, especially the Wish Dragons.  By doing so this keeps the dragons from creating havoc and chaos in all of the Realms.  The first and only Herald is Aralt as no others have ever held the office.  He helped form the Dragon Clan system and works with the ruling Wish Dragon.  The current Wish Dragon is a female who rules over all other Dragons," said the orb.
Picture
Ffion and Dulbbe looked a little confused at each other as neither had ever heard about this Herald before.  They were both surprised also to hear that a Wish Dragon was the ruler of Dragons.  Before Dulbbe asked his next question, Ffion asked hers.  "I thought Dragons did not have a ruler per se.  How did a Wish Dragon become their ruler?"
"The Wish Dragon is the most powerful Dragon until a Moon Dragon is born.  No Moon Dragons exist," the orb answered.  Startled by this information, Dulbbe and Ffion both looked at each other thinking the same thought.  Dree, who was a Wish Dragon before his recent transformation, was now a Moon Dragon. 

As the orb continued, both listened intently on what it was telling them.  "The Herald helps the ruling Wish Dragon in keeping the continuity of the magic the Dragons use so as not to disrupt the harmony of all.  In the beginning when dragons first received their magical powers and became mystical Dragons, they did not control what magics they did.  Many mundane and magicals were hurt and destroyed.  The Wish Dragons were among the mightiest of all magic welders!  They could grant wishes that could change anything.  The consequences of many of these granted wishes are still present here in the Realms."  
Both Dulbbe and Ffion knew that this was information that the others needed to know right away.  If the Dragons were really returning and a Wish Dragon would be their leader this would be a whole new world for them to return to.  For they did not  know that a Moon Dragon now existed.  Also how would this change things for Dree (a.k.a. Hungry), the newly wet behind the ears Moon Dragon?
"You keep the orb talking," Ffion told Dulbbe as she headed towards the doorway.  "I will send a flutterby to the Dowager and Awena.  They need to know what we have found out."
