Chapter Five – Tillie’s point of view

“Jorn, I agree with Ellard.” – Tillie said as Jorn packed a few provisions for the fight. He pulled a cruel looking double-blade from his sword drawe and ran his finger down the edge of the blade.

“A true beauty.” – He said as Tillie looked, mouth opened with astonishment.

Just then Ellard burst in through the door. – “The Tangata Manu are preparing for an assault right on us. We get to get out of here, now!”

“Ellard, I’ve been thinking about your idea to go to England. I say it’s much too late for any other plan. It’s time to put your plan to explore the world in practice. Wait, where’s Antaris? – Jorn asked.

“Right here!” – Ellard said as he dipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a barely 8 inch sapphire dragon which – neither of them knew it- would save the entire world along with Elard by his side.

Again Tillie was amazed; though Jorn was expressionless. “Jorn, now that’s what I call a beauty!!” – she said, almost screaming with happiness, a smile creeping along her face.

“Jorn? Ummmm, Uh…”

“What is it, Ellard?”

“Well, um, what do dragons eat?” – a shy smile across his face.

“Look a his teeth and you’ll know” – Jorn said, stifling a giggle.

So Ellard did what he was told, and what he got? A nasty bite! Jorn couldn’t hold it any longer and went crazy with his laughter. Ellard flinched.

“I think I found what they eat… meat! But not my finger little one!”

Recovering a bit, Jorn said: “Alright, let’s get out of here! I’ll hold them of; you two go sneak behind them and and launch a surprise attack to slow’em down. That way we can get away quicker and go further in to the forest and the mountain range!”

“No, we need to talk this through if we are really leaving” – pondered Tillie. “We need food…”

“I’ll hunt. And I know some of the plants as well!” – assured Ellard.

“Right, we need also shelter.” – She continued.

“No problem, there’s always wood, water will be no problem, we just need some fabric to protect ourselves. We can do this, we can’t stay here any more… as Jorn said, it’s too late for any other plan. It’s time to embrace our fate.” – spoke Ellard as a true leader.

“Wow!” – Tillie breathed in, clapped her hands and said: “Alright, let’s do this”. And they stepped out to face their future.
