#19 of Dragonheart Part 29-58


In the morning the next day the welcome ceremony began the excavation mission in Pytha. Clans from all over the country gathered on that day in order to achieve great things together. Surasshu and the others saw for the first time so many people from so many different clans in one place. "Wow, are the many." Marveled Surasshu. Magicians, soldiers, Ranger, and even a handful of traders were clearly visible.

The various symbols of their clans ran clearly see who was on which clan. In addition, all kinds of races could be seen: raptors, dogs, birds, bears, cats and a few others were at the large square in front of the museum. The place was like a marketplace and the museum's garden. It Wynn asked how it was possible that could be in such a desert such a vibrant garden.

"The garden and all the other plants in the city with a special mystery has been revealed. So they do not dry up, no matter how bright the sun shines. "Said Sylvia. Shortly afterwards, everyone gathered in the lobby of the museum's already prepared. There was a stage, which was entered by some little later, dressed in different colored robes turtles and jackals. "That must be the top scholars in the city.", Whispered a few in the back rows.

When all were on stage one of the turtles came to the microphone established.

"My Honored guests, friends and roommates! This has been answered, I welcome you officially and on behalf of the scholars at this year's excavation mission Pythas. ", He began what cheer with a loud and clap. Then again came silence, and he continued: "This year we are the ruins of Grotué and their surroundings more closely.

And while we are in the ancient desert people this year on the track. This means that each Fund, which has to do with these people is passed to us, each other but can pass into the possession of the finder. " It makes you wonder yet smooth, which reserve is allowed and what is not. "Said a Wolf to one of his comrades. His neighbor just shrugged his shoulders and then asked for eagle while they listened to the rest of the speech.

Half an hour later he ended the speech by saying: "I hereby open up the excavation mission. May each of you find something that he can call his own! "The ensuing applause and cheers could be heard throughout the city. Soon after the clan from the other scholars were divided into different groups, each for a different part of the ruins.

"The dragon clans heart Opalfeder, beach blade, eight clouds gather caterpillar boy and twin horn please in the north wing of the museum", one of the scholars announced loudly. "Five clans per group?" Said Luso. "This year there are about thirty registered clans, because we had to expand the size of the group." She said. Surasshu glanced over the clans with which they were in a group: they were mostly soldiers, very few magicians were among them.

"Fake good, as we have the group with the most people." Said Ryu. "Do not believe, however, that we can put ourselves therefore to be lazy." Raio just said. "Do not worry, I will not.", Ryu said, smiling. Then all went into the north wing. There were several mounts, which they then rode to their destinations.

"One question." Began Hiita. "Go ahead." Said Sylvia. "Is it the end of the day back to the hotel?" Asked Hiita. Sylvia just giggled and replied: "Of course not. We are now riding for about an hour to leave camp, then show us our tent and then set to work. " What? A week with all the other .... in a tent? "Asked Hiita scared. "But no, there are two tents: one for boys and one for the girls." Reassuring, replied Sylvia. "One week in" a tent in the desert? Sounds very exciting. "Said Shiba left.

An hour later they reached the camp, which war.Als to recognize the flags erected them and the other clans, the tents were shown they got the rest of the day off with the announcement that it is forbidden at night, to leave that camp.

"At night, driving around here a few creatures with whom we would rather not want to do." Said the overseer, and then went back to his tent. "Cool, then let it go once the other clans!" Suggested Surasshu. "Not a bad idea." Agreed Luso. They went to the camp of the clan Opalfeder that was right next to her. As they approached the clan they saw a troop consisting of people and raptors, which distributed their time with bodybuilding, arm wrestling or talk.

"Hey, how's it going?" Asked to Surasshu. The clan looked to them, most of them went up the eyebrow and then went with what they were doing more. When she again wanted to ask Surasshu said the leader, they had no time to talk with the children. "If we just called the children?" Asked Hiita easily angered.

"You do not look like a child ... more like a spoiled brat!" Said a raptor from farther back. "Say that again," shouted Hiita. The Raptors got up, walked up to her and introduced himself to her. He was about two heads taller than she looked down at her and repeated his sentence. "Well ... you do not look like a soldier .... more like a Spielplatzraudi." Said Hiita cheeky.

The Raptor leaned down to her and said that she should take her mouth is not so full. "If you want to fight then saw it.", She asked him out. He looked at her, shook his head and said he would not hurt them. "Fear of a ... how you called me right away? Brat? "Asked Hiita him. The Raptor clenched his fists and asked her if she was sure what she was saying.

"Would I every time someone asks this question, a gold coin demand, well then I would be rich now!" She replied insolently. "If you look like something from a girl who Ayel?" Asked one of the back on. Ayel looked at his comrades. He did not chicken out before them, so he took Hiitas to challenge.

In a circle drawn in the sand, put the two facing each other. "The rules are simple: whoever falls first to the ground and not get up again lost," proclaimed Raio and waited until the two stood facing each other. "Let's start now!" Said Ayel. Hiita also thought so, and then the fight started shortly thereafter. Ayel jumped up, clapped her hands and disappeared in a cloud of sand.

Looked startled Hiita around, it could not find it. Suddenly he came up behind him and pushed her. She turned around but he already disappeared again in the sand. "Mist." She swore and looked around further. For several minutes Ayel Hiita pushed back and forth until it was getting angry and began to breathe fire. "This is a special form of Earth Magic, known as a sandworm." Said Aussa. Wynn asked what you can use this magic in everything. Aussa explained that the use of magic merges with the sand and winds its way like a worm through it.

Moreover, it is difficult to attack because he, like the user at the same moment when he attacks at the same time could disappear. "Hiita be careful, this is magic to see through very difficult, because you can not see them." Aussa felt uneasy. This concern was triggered by Hiitas becoming slower reflexes, by the constant spewing of fire after Ayel soon as he appeared.

Exhausted, she stood there, could barely stand when Ayel came halfway out of the sand out. "What looks like I should bring the end times here." He said and disappeared into the sand. "What did he do now?" Hiita asked when she suddenly disappeared in the sand. "Quicksand, honey!" Cried Ayel and reappeared. "But do not worry your little head, I let out even look."

Hiita tried to move, instead she sank deeper and deeper. "This kind of shit," she cried angrily. Even when she used fire in order to push up, it could not withstand the pull. "This fight is over, little one? I'd probably prefer not to challenge. "Ayel said with a laugh and came out of the sand. Hiita looked in his face felt like it literally looked down on them and was even more angry.

"I am not finished yet, am old," shouted Hiita. She began to scream, and then the flames on their hands are dyed black. "Oh man.", It came out of Natsu. "Now it is serious! '" ... Makes you serious? What do you mean? "Said Alice, surprised. Hiita slowly came out of the sand clenched black fist burning is extinguished shortly thereafter.

Then they bowed and thanked him for the fight. "What do you mean? Prod and poke you now or what? "She asked Ayel. She looked up and answered. "I do not want to hurt you too hard, nothing else" when they wanted to go Ayel ran toward her. With clenched fist he wanted to strike just as he missed a well-aimed Hiita low blow.

All male persons only watched horrified as one of them worked slowly to the ground, while the girls just stood there laughing. "Good .... shock ..... girls." He gasped in pain. Hiita looked at the leader of the clan, who said only: ". Maybe since you have no children yet ...." Shortly thereafter Ayel stood up again and demanded a rematch, this time, but at arm wrestling.

"You never hit me!" He said triumphantly. "Well, let's see!" She replied. The rest of the clan was the clan Opalfeder not with open arms, however, greeted with a slap on the shoulder.

In the evening there was food. "This should be our food? The few vegetables and some meat? "Wailed Raio. "We are here in the desert, because you have to be thrifty. Moreover, this is pretty healthy vegetables and the meat comes from a desert animal whose flesh is very juicy. "Said Sylvia and bite off their flesh.

Shadow sniffed briefly at his food, then just bite off the flesh and could not get more then enough. The others were surprised by the unusually small meals rather because they were tired of it. Then they went to sleep because she knew that the next day would be tough.

The next day it happened: in the scorching heat of the excavations began in the ruins. When they found the entrance to an old cellar vault beneath an already severely dilapidated church was looking for volunteers who will look at these catacombs. From the eight clans clouds and beach blade came forward three people who would love to go down.

"Maybe what we find down there smart!" Said one of them. The camp chief nodded, but said more to them, they should be careful when they go down there, because the programs could possibly collapse. They said that they would be careful and come early enough to get out, something happens. As they disappeared into the cellar door, looked a little worried after Aussa them yet.

Rockwell, however, only patted her on the shoulder and said that she should not worry. "I know it's just ... if something happens." She stammered. "You'll be all right. And even if you could but she is determined to save it? ", Rockwell asked her gently. "Sure I can!" She replied and went back with him to the other.

Everywhere in the ruins was looking for things that could possibly be of interest. But except a few old coins and vases found no one really special. "Where are we now landed?" Luso asked Alice when he was with her in an old building. "It would have a shop or something must have been. Look at that! Shelves with dried flowers, "said Alice, pointing to a shelf in the corner.

Luso went to the flowers, she looked closer and said, determined that a few years ago times were flowers. In the heat of day, which lasted until dusk and then slowly moved into a bitter cold meant Surasshu: "I come before the whole thing as if we had something like grave robbers or something." "This is among the most for the first time here are like that.

In recent years, we were actually a few graves, but were not allowed to be touched. "Said Sylvia. "After the peace of the dead should not be disturbed." Illuminating Eria nodded and continued eating. Shadow looked out the tent out into the desert and wondered what could be lurking out there. "The last one did not know who was that again." Said Sylvia.

Shadow looked at her, frowned, and wondered then. Ryu then just said to him: "Do not even think." Read Shadows fall ears and moaned: "Oh menno" Lyra patted him on the shoulder and said: ". If you like you must go with me tomorrow," With Shadow looked at her wide eyes, then nodded happily and hugged them.

"Where on earth are we going to start looking? I mean, this stupid museum was not the sword now. "Wailed as he went along with Arcade Aqua, Black Fairy and the nocturnal desert. "And why do we have to do just now? It is freezing cold, "Fairy just sighed and said:" Can you also make other than what time whining? Is not to endure, yes! "

"That's why I advised you to come along." Said Aqua. "I'm only here because Rubino had asked me." She said. Suddenly Arcade are, for the sand beneath them began to tremble. Then a huge gray black cobra came out of the sand and looked at her herab.Sie a long body, two tentacles, with which it had wanted to reach for the group, but then paused.

It was a flute melody that soothed the beast. Aqua turned around and saw a snow-white fairy flute held in her hands and played it. "That's why she's here." He said. "Fairy is capable of using animals to calm her flute melody and to get under their control." Arcade said, smiling. He looked at the cobra and then ordered Black to kill them.

He took his sword from his back and then cut them in two. "Forgive me." He apologized as his sword flashed in the same moment. Then he laid it on his back and asked if she could go now. "As long as we do not know where is the sword, I recommend going back to the camp. I place value on that is not estimated to run more snakes on the way. "Aqua said, annoyed. "I have to agree with you." Agreed Arcade him and ordered the retreat to the camp.

It took three days, during which each clan was already something. Especially the discovery of Hiita Raio and aroused a sensation: an apparently undamaged scroll from a locked trunk in a basement. The warden looked at the role, just nodded and said, "I can not indeed so much to start, but I think I speak for the scholar when I thank you for that."

Smilingly replied that both you and went back to the excavation site. "We actually work with the things that are not needed? I thought we could retain. "Said Shiba. "Each fund receives a mark of the clan who has found this subject. Once the mission is ended then each Fund approved by the scholars and museum staff, scored on its importance and then either keep or gift to the finders. "Said Sylvia.

Shiba nodded and went with her on through the ruins. Meanwhile, place Khad, Shadow and Natsu, the entrance to another vault that was located in an old well. "What do you think, because we want to climb in?" Said Shadow. Khad just shrugged his shoulders as he knew the two could not understand him differently.

"So I'm sure," answered ready Natsu. Shadow looked at him, then was apparently the same opinion as the Khad Natsu. "Well, then I'll go out to get some rope." He said, and ran. When he returned it with a rope around her shoulders they fastened it to a seemingly solid wood pile and climbed down one by one.

When they got down, she noticed, however, that the seemingly large entrance a rather small hole through which one could crawl through was. "Well then, if you want first?" Asked Natsu. They looked for a moment of skeptical Khad then crawled up without any warning. The other two looked at each other then just move on and then crawled behind.

At about half way then they heard a loud scream. "Khad" shouted Shadow, but got no response. She immediately crawled faster, when she suddenly fell off a cliff both. Screaming, she fell for a moment, until they fell then into a small lake.

They showed up and spat down once the water swallowed down, then she looked around. "Wo .. where are we?" Said Shadow. "Apparently in some cave, a deep of ruin." Said Natsu. She waded out of the water and sat down only once on the ground. Natsu then dried and Shadow from using his magic and then asked where was Khad.

"Hi ... here," she heard someone call. They got up, went to the source of the call and then met Khad. "Yeah, have quite forgotten that you can say a few words in our language.", It was Shadow again. "Well, now that we are together again, we should worry about how we come out here again." The two agreed to this proposal.

She looked at the hole from which they had fallen. "I do not think we could climb up there." Said Shadow anxiously. "Then we should quickly seek a new way out of here!" Said Natsu, looking for a way.

Meanwhile, all made on the surface concerns about the three, because no one knew where they were. When they found the fountain of the rope was obvious where they were. "Down there is a small hole! Perhaps because they are crawling through. "Said someone. "And they are likely to be dropped somewhere or the gear collapsed behind them."

"We have to find them!" Hiita cried excitedly. "We are sorry but we can not do anything for them." Replied the warden. "Bloody hell this is about my brother!" Hiita shouted angrily. "And the last thing I would leave is that he kicked the bucket in one cave is that clear?" The warden and all standing around looking at them. Suddenly she wanted to climb down himself, as she held her arm Aussa.

"It's too dangerous to leave that," she said. "But ...." Hiita stammered quietly. "Do not worry, we will find that I promise you." Said Aussa then. "And as we climb out down there?" Asked Hiita. "I'm a Erdmagierin right?" Retorted Aussa. "Likely to be found in the earth shake be no problem for me." "You are aware that we are in a wilderness, there's nothing here but sand," the warden said skeptically.

"This is about my friends. And precisely because of these friends may not give me! "Said Aussa. "So, if I may please. Transgress back to step one. "Hiita climbed out of the well, went away as of statements on the floor, a green circle appeared. Aussa stretched out her arms, closed his eyes and laid his head back. The circle grew, went even beyond the area already stretched to the circle about a mile of them.

"Mother Earth, stand by me in this hour on and help me to find my friends." She said. For several minutes she stood rooted there, even got slowly sweating, in which she occasionally broke easily, but then again took hold. "This is a high magic of Earth Magic. The track in the ground," said Luso. Five minutes later, broke up the magic and Aussa collapsed.

Hiita ran to her, put Aussas head on her knees and asked where they were or how they could find them. "The .... the vaults under the church .... ..... fourth gear from the left." She replied and then fainted. "You've heard it: at the church," the guard yelled suddenly. "There are a couple of friends who want to be saved!" In no time many went to the church, into the basement and then in the above passage of statements.

"That was a high magic." Arcade said, smiling. Aqua looked at him puzzled and asked why he smile. "I snapped for a moment into its magic." He replied. "You did what?" Fairy asked, startled. "I was hooked into her spell, knows a little something for someone, how to use magic of the opponents to his advantage.

And I know it now. "He answered quietly. "Now you know what?" Said Aqua. Arcade looked at him, licked with his forked tongue over his lips and replied, "I know now that the fog is the sword."
