Chapter 13 - In the Den of the Dragon

"Well," said the giant dragon. "If it isn't Christopher of thee Old World, and making friends with Hel I see. Now that's quite an accomplishment. I don't believe any other mortals have ever lived long enough in her presents to make such an attempt. Nor gods for that matter."

He laughed at this point, and I thought my head was going to explode form the noise. Now is one of those times you remember things form the old world we should have taken with us, or rather made Senea get us, like a few sets of those blast ear muffs, or at least a good set of ear plugs to take the edge off.

"It's nice to see you too big N. I suppose you know already why we've come. You don't look to surprised to see me."

"No. I know why you've come. But what can you offer me in exchange for my help? Nothing is free in EverWorld young Old Worlder. You know this." He looked at me as if searching for something, and then their seemed to be a look in his eye that said he'd found it.

"The ring is what you have for me then is it. Thee elf gave it as payment for my services."

"How did you…I haven't told anyone about the ring. Not even April. I was told that only you were to know of it. But how could you when I haven't even told you myself?"

"You have much to learn about dragons young Old Worlder. But this is a lesson you should very well take to heart. Many dragons, given the chance, may peer into your soul and see your secrets. Some are better at this then others. Do not let a Dragon look into your eyes as long as I have unless you trust it."

The tone of his voice told me he had seem more then just the ring in my head. He had seem my past, and for some strange reason, I felt that he took pity on me, and I wondered what he had seen that would have caused him to feel that way. Then suddenly he came out of his reflection.

"I will help you young Old Worlder. Now lets get back you your young friend before she picks up and unseemly habits form our lady Hel." I think he was joking but you can never really tell with this guy

AN - I'm really sorry its taken me so long to post but now that I am done with classes for the semester I'm hoping to get a few chapters in. I also thought I would leave this space at the end of my chapters form now on to answer questions and respond to reviews. So here goes.

Briar-rOse3 - I repeated the chapters by accident. I have been trying to delete it but every time I do it either doesn't complete the deletion properly or my page fails and I have to refresh my page only for me to have to try again. I've given up trying to get rid of it for now.

Thanks to everyone who has been reading my story. I really hope you all like it well I better get to writing my next chapter.
