The next morning, I woke up in Alex’s arms. I kissed his lips until he woke up as well. He gave me a smile before getting up and getting dressed, which I did as well. We put our new armor on and made our way out of the temple. Outside were four dragons. One was white with a bluish tint, one was orangey, the third one was onyx, and the last one looked like it was made out of opals. We made our way over to them. Luna and Cymbeline were right behind us.
“Aren’t they beautiful?” Luna asked us. I nodded.
“I never thought that they would look so beautiful,” Alex said. “They’re so shiny. It’s as if they are made out of gems. Our armor doesn’t look like them.”
“That’s because these dragons are covered in gems. All dragons love jewels. They collect them and protect them. Over time, the gems start to become one with the dragon. Some dragons will have different kinds of jewels, and others will not. Jack’s is made of opals, so he’s going to have to be careful because they are sensitive to heat and the cold. Yours is made out of onyx. Mine is made out of moonstones, and Cymbeline’s is made out of sunstones.”
“How old are they?” I asked.
“As old as you,” Cymbeline answered. “These dragons are very special. We get our own dragons that are born when we are born. The council does too. Everyone else has to go and find their perfect dragon and train it. We don’t. Ours are raised by the council. When the darkness took over, they knew to escape, so that’s why they are able to be here. They also found us because they can track their owners. Other dragons can too when they become close to their owners.”
I walk up to mine and smile at it. It brings it’s head down to my height, so I can pet it. I can just feel the love coming off of it. Alex does the same thing to his dragon, but he’s a little more hesitant.
“Hello Jack,” a female voice said. I don’t even need to look around because I knew that it’s coming from my dragon. I saw that Alex was looking around for the owner of the voice with his sword drawn.
“It’s ok, Alex,” I told him. “It’s my dragon. She’s talking to me.” He puts the sword away and nods his head. “What’s your name?” I asked her.
“Light,” she answered in her elegant voice.
“Hello, Light.”
“Hello Alex,” a deep male voice said. Alex turns and looks at his dragon. “My name is Dark. It’s nice to finally meet you.”
“Same,” he said.
“You don’t have to worry about us. We’re on your side.”
“I know.”
“What’s up, Moon?” Luna asked her dragon.
“Nothing much,” her female dragon said back. “I’ve just been hanging with Sun and watching Dark and Light. They are sooo going to be together.” Dark and Light look away from each other. If dragons could blush, they probably would be. “What did I tell you?”
“I agree with her,” the male dragon, Sun, told Cymbeline.
“How cute,” Luna smiled. “They’re just like their owners. “Anyway, it’s about time that we head over to the temple.”
Luna and Cymbeline get on their dragons. Alex and I repeat what they did and get on our dragons. The dragons are fitted with saddles and reins. I grab onto it. Our dragons start to flap their wings and get higher and higher. Being on a dragon in the air is probably one of the greatest feelings I’ve ever felt. It felt like nothing could hurt me. I was on top of the world. The only thing that makes me feel more safe is Alex, but there is nothing that can top him ever.
We reach the temple and get off of them. Luna and Cymbeline walk us up half of the stairs. Alex and I look at them with a confused look, but they just tell us that they are not allowed to go any further. We nod and continue on our way.
The doors are large, but they aren’t hard to open. Once inside, we see two statues that look just like us. We walk up the one that looks like us and examine them. All of a sudden, a wall comes down, cutting the room in two and separating us.
“Alex!” I yell. I go over to it and start banging on the wall hard.
“Jack,” I heard him yell, “it’s ok! I’ll be fine! We have to go through this by ourselves! That’s what was written on the bottom on the statues!”
“But I need you! I can’t do this without you! I always pass out after I use my powers! You’re strong enough, but I’m not!”
“Yes, you are! You can do this. I believe in you!”
“Ok, Alex. I love you!”
“I love you too!”
I turn away from the wall and see a door open on the other side of the room. It was just a doorway with stone covering it when we entered. We really were suppose to do this by ourselves. I gulp and make my way over to it. I enter it, and as soon as I do, the door is coming down behind me. I turn around to look at it, but a voice causes me to turn back around.
“Hello Jack,” it said. The voice sounded just like mine.
“Wh-Who are you?”
“I’m your past self. I’ve been inside of you all this time, waiting. I’m going to guide you through this. After all of this is over, we’re going to finally become one.”
“Will I be different?”
“Of course not. When this is all over, it will be like I never existed.”
“But wouldn’t that-”
“No, it will be fine. It’s what I want. It’s what Alexander wants. It’s complicated, and I don’t want to take all day to explain everything. When we become one, everything will be the way it’s suppose to be.”
“Ok.”
“Don’t worry. I know how you are. Everything is going to be fine. I’m your guide. I won’t let you be taken away from your love like I was taken away from mine. Everything is going to be ok. You’ll defeat the darkness, and you’ll be able to make your choice.”
“Choice?”
“I’m not allowed to tell you. I was told about it early because I had to fight Alexander. I probably shouldn’t have even mentioned it, but you’ll have your choice, and you might just get a reward from Luna and Cymbeline. Of course, that’s only if you choose correctly. Anyway, let’s begin.”

Notes

Sorry this took so long. I'm out of school though. I just have to decide which day of the week this story will be updated on. If anyone wants to tell me what they want, they can. It just can't be on weekends because I don't like updating then. I am writing three other stories besides this one and A Tongue Like a Nightmare That Cut Like a Blade. Here are the two I have up and a short summary of what they are about.

Be Careful What You Wish For (http://www.alltimelowfanfiction.com/Story/7606/Be-Careful-What-You-Wish-For/). This one is a Jack/OC where the girl has CSP and trichotillomania. She casts a wishing spell to be with Jack, and he starts seeing her in his dreams and gets visions of her. You really should be careful what you wish for.

The Fire in my Heart (http://www.alltimelowfanfiction.com/Story/7636/The-Fire-in-my-Heart/)
This one is a Jack/OC slash. Devon Cline is just a guy that takes care of his little brother and has a job that gets him just enough money to do so. One night changes the life of Devon forever.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and I hope you like the new stories!
