EPILOGUE
“What’s going on, Pit?” Wiz asked as he, Nautical and Eagle made their way towards their leader and all the other D.O.A. agents and the sentiences as the maharishi stood next to each of the men... well, all the dragons except for those flying above their heads.
It had been mere hours since the battle took place with Gio’s family, and damn it, all any of the men wanted to do was sleep for the next ten hours or so.
Shaking his head, Pit replied, “I have no idea. I got a message just like all of you did to get to the park.”
“More like a compulsion.” Gunner said, rubbing his chest as he sat on a chair someone must have brought to him.
“Damn, Gun, you should be in bed not out here. I’m surprised Jude even let you come here.” Sparky said, making his way towards the rest of them.
“What the hell took you so long, Sparky. You’re the last to arrive.” Pit grumbled.
Sparky shrugged, saying, “I was sitting with Teagan. Needed to make sure he was doing alright.”
“You’ve been with Teagan more than I have. What’s up with that?” Gio asked curiously.
Shrugging, Sparky muttered, “I read that even people in comas can hear someone when they speak, so I figured I could read to him and stuff. The guys gotta know he isn’t in a bad place and that the threat to him is gone.”
“How is Teagan?” Nautical asked.
Jude sighed, “No change at the moment, but I’m running some tests. The doctors said there was no reason for him to be in a coma to begin with, so I’m thinking it has to do with his elemental ability. His specialty is water, but I’m thinking that he might have something else.”
“Something else? What else?” Gio asked.
“I’m not sure, but I’ll let you know if I find anything.” Jude promised.
Smoky landed next to Jude, “Sorry I’m late. I was making sure Chloe was settled.”
“Is she alright?” Gio asked.
“Sad, scared, and unsure, but otherwise she’s fine.” Smoky replied.
Letting out a deep breath, Gio whispered, “I wish she didn’t have to be under house arrest. She needs her garden. It keeps her centered.”
Cobra hugged Gio close, whispering, “She’ll be fine, love. We can take her to an open area and allow her to create one. We just need to make sure someone is with her until we know we can trust her.”
“I understand and thank you for doing even that much.” Gio quietly replied.
“I love you and she is family.” Cobra replied, softly kissing his sentience’s lips.
“I just wish I knew where Kyle and my other brothers went. I can’t believe they left Sandra, Bixby, and Chloe behind like that.” Gio said, with a shake of his head.
“Things are not always what they seem, young one. The fates are an interesting bunch of ladies, and sewing the threads of life is not easy for anyone. Free will is one of the greatest gifts god has given us, but with free will comes paths not expected, bringing new journeys that might be more difficult, but eventually will lead them to where they are supposed to be.”
“Heck, what the hell?” Pit gasped.
Heck was a handsome man. Hell, he was more than handsome, he was absolutely beautiful… angelic… which he should be considering he was an angel. Long blond hair with golden eyes, but damn, he was tiny. He couldn’t be more than five foot two, and if he weighed more than one ten, Sparky would eat his dragon. “What’s going on, Heck. We haven’t seen you since you recruited us.”
Smiling, Heck replied, “And be glad for it, it means you’ve been doing a stupendous job, and trust me, the big guy is pleased with all your hard work.”
“Then, what are you doing here?” Pit asked.
“Well, the boss man called to me and gave me an order, and so here I am.” Heck said, explaining, but not.
“What kind of order?” Taj asked, sounding a bit apprehensive.
Heck laughed, “The godly kind of course.”
