Pyros Volcano

The Rebellix Club and crew, were on their way to the volcano. "Whatever you do, do not piss off any dragon. An angry dragon will make this even harder then it already is." The volcano was the last place Shar wanted to go, too many dark memories.

"I agree with that statement." Cotton added as she continued walking up the volcano trail.

"STOP RIGHT THERE! NO ONE SHALL ENTER THE PYROS VOLCANO UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!" I yelled and pointed my bamboo knife towards the intruders.

"I-Ishan?" I asked as I then looked over to Shar. "Shar..." I then said.

"Shar? No that's impossible...I haven't seen Shar since..." I spoke and tried to keep back my tears. "There's no way that's her."

Shar went pale as she took a step back. “No, no, no. You’re dead, I mourned you, mama and papa. This is another trick or part of the curse.” Shar just started at the guy in front of her. He had the same green eyes like she did. His hair was just like her fathers. “No, it can’t be.” She whispered.

"No! No! Stop lying!!!!" I screamed as I attacked the group of intruders.

"Ishan!" I yelled out to gain his attention. "Stop attacking them! It's the truth. That's your older sister, Shar. An evil curse was cast upon her to make her look like this, but underneath the curse...she looks just like you." I explained as I stared straight into Ishan's eyes.

I started crying out of frustration. "No...She's not my sister. I don't have a sister. Shar, you left me alone when I was a young boy. While you were studying to become a fairy at Alfea, I was somewhere in the slums of the village, fighting for myself." I spoke as I tried to hold back my tears.

“I thought you were dead! I tried my best to take care of you after mama and papa died.  When I had seen that you wondered off that day, I looked everywhere for you.  When I finally found your tracks, they led to a wild dragons cave. You know, that no one goes into those caves willing.” Shar blinked back tears as she remembered that day. “I thought you were dragon food. I couldn’t handle all the grief, loss and the belief that I failed you.” She voice got small. “So I ran, I almost went to Cloud Tower instead of Alfea. I knew mama wouldn’t want that, so I chose Alfea instead.” She asked the question that she feared the most. “How did you survive?”

I wiped my tears and spoke. "I survived with the best way I knew how...combat." I replied. "After a while, the dragons of the volcano realized that I was no threat to them. They learned my smell and welcomed me into their home. The dragons are like my family." I explained. I still couldn't cope with the fact that my sister was gone all these years.

Shar didn't know how any of this was possible. "Dragons." She whispered, "I had no idea."

"Yeah well...now you know." I replied as I dried my tears and prevented my voice from cracking.

"Rawwwww!!!" The dragons shrieked as they flew around the volcano area.

Cotton gasped when she looked up to the sky. "Oh no! That must be Drizella's Mark! She's probably trying to prevent anyone from getting the shards to imprison her in that magic mirror! We need to stop her!"

"If only we could end all this by having a dragon eat her." Shar sighed. "Oh well. Let's get up to the top of that volcano."
