Eden had his eyes shut as he flew down the tall palace building, the wind violently brushing through his face and hair.
He was too scared to even open his eyes. He didn't know what to expect. All he could do was pray not to fall to his death.
"What's that?"
"Someone's falling?"
"Who's that?"
"That's...the Wizard?!"
Below were the nobles and commoners who gathered for the beheading ceremony. They were still there waiting for Elvis and Eden to finish talking while making their own speculations over the event.
When suddenly they saw something falling from the window. And to their suprise it was Eden.
"Why is he jumping off?"
"The Crown prince must have pushed him down to meet his death!" A man announced. They hoped that was the fact.
But suddenly Eden landed on something. It wasn't the hard floor, it was something that caught him. Immediately he opened his eyes to find himself on a dragon!
Eden instantly placed both hands on the sides of the dragon he was suddenly seating on. He grabbed anything to risk falling off this mysterious being that had somehow caught him!
Shocked and confused, Eden stared at the green dragon that now spread it's wing into the air. The dragon moved it's head side to side while flapping it's wing, setting off into the sky.
"What the hell...." Eden was scared of what he sat on. But he also couldn't let it go. He grabbed it tightly, fearing death if he fell off it.
"Don't worry, it's me Lenny" He heard Lenny speak into his mind. And that was when it struck him that this dragon he was sitting on was actually... Lenny??"
"How the hell did you become like this??!" Eden yelled.The air in the sky was violent. Wooshing back and forth. It was almost impossible to hear himself in the sky.
"No time to explain in detail but let's just say I shape shift" Lenny said, heading towards a certain direction.
The audience below stared up into the sky in utmost shock. For a while, no one had the guts to even speak.
"A... A dragon??"
"How's... How's that.. possible!"
Most people there had never seen a dragon in their entire lives before! It was their first time.
Dragons had mostly come as a myth to them. So the sight of a dragon picking Eden and taking him off was something bizarre to their views.
"He is indeed a monster! He even summons dragons!" One cried.
"How is that even possible? Aren't dragons myths?!" A lady pointed out.
"That's why he's the wizard of EL! Of course he brought it into being!"
"Didn't he lose his powers?" Someone pointed out.
"The wizard of EL is indeed never to be predicted" Someone replied "He can even summon dragons without his powers!"
"Let's leave here before something more crazy happens!" Someone screamed.
Without hesitating, The commoners had begun dispersing from the scene. Parents took their kids and fled the scene. Nobles began making way for their cartridges to leave immediately.
They didn't know what else The Wizard of EL was going to pull.
Before long, the scene was almost empty with the King and Queens standing and watching in fear. Their guards stood around them with their swords out to protect them.
Elvis had rushed at the window, looking out to see Eden making his way through the sky in a dragon! He never saw that coming.
He gasped as he clenched his fist "That... scheming bastard..." He muttered.
*******
"You can shape shift??" Eden yelled while they flew through the sky.
They were out of sight from the Palace. They were deep into the sky, meeting the clouds.
"Well sorta" Lenny said
"Why didn't you say so??" Eden questioned "You could have just attached them all in your dragon form or something scarier and I'll be saved! Why did you let me go through all these troubles?!"
"Well. I wanted to tell you about it, but you were too engrossed in your plans to let me speak. So I left you. Besides, I'm not to interfere too much in the storyline as a guide" He explained.
He added "And.. My shape shifting skills are unstable and weak at the moment. Because of your lack of powers obviously. So I can't assure you of staying in any form, except for a cat, for even a minute"
"I just did this out of emergency to save you" Lenny explained.
Eden said patting the back of the dragon "Well as long as I am alive. That's all that matters"
Eden felt relieved. He had escaped the original plot of his death as the villain character. And now at least he has a chance of living till the end of the book or so.
If he could successfully disappear from the sight of everyone, especially the main characters of this story, he would live a peaceful life and probably stay till the end!
That seemed like a perfect idea. Eden smiled as he looked through the clouds he flew past. Admiring the heavenly scenery he was seeing for the first time.
"So where are we heading to now?" Eden asked.
"I don't even know. All I thought about was leaving there" Lenny said.
"I think we should go somewhere far" Eden said "Somewhere far far away from the main characters. We should never meet any of them again" He suggested.
"That would be somewhat impossible because you are...." Lenny wanted to complete his sentence but suddenly felt weak in his wings.
As thought he couldn't carry his body anymore, he found himself slowly staggering in the sky. Moving shabbily from one side to another.
Eden hugged the dragon tightly "What's wrong?" He asked. The unsteady movements of the dragon made it harder to hold it for safety. It moved hovered around in a flash, darting through clouds and soaring up and down randomly.
"Like I said.. I can't keep any form for long. So I think I'm..."
Before Lenny could finish, the dragon puffed into dust and transformed back into a cat.
And like that, Eden and Kenny found themselves falling down from the sky with high speed.
The two figures screamed as they darted down from the sky and into a river beneath.
The same river where the Grand Marquis Adrian was taking his bath.
