darkened ground, he looked
around him. The world that he remembered was gone.
After stretching the soreness from his wings,
he went in search of his lair. Merth was well over 30 feet long.
Most black dragons were of average intelligence, but Merth was much
smarter making him much more dangerous.
His stomach growled with hunger. Soon he
would need to find food to sustain him.
Merth was the last of the black dragons and
his soul was as dark as his scales. As he approached his lair
Merth's dark eyes glistened. Unlike most dragons, there was no
goodess within Merth. Before Merth's birth dragons lived in peace
with the inhabitants of the Mystical Forest.
Legend has it that at the moment of Merth's
first breath the sky turned black and the air grew heavy. The
hearts of those who called the Mystical forest home filled with
fear. Until the day that he was sealed up in the Tree of Life by
the Great Fairy, he had brought only terror and bloodshed.
The Tree of Life's branches connected the
Mystical Forest to the powers of the earth. Many believed that it
was in some way also connected to the heavens. The Tree of Life's
history spanned through the Stone Ages. Its history was intertwined
with divinity and immortality.
Merth's stomach growled loudly demanding it
not be ignored. Leaving the darkness of the cave, he took to the
air. Nothing stirred. He saw nothing move, nothing that showed any
signs of life. He landed on the smoldering grass and began to sniff
the air. It was difficult to smell anything but smoke, but Merth
caught the scent of singed flesh. Following his snout, he found a
small herd of deer. The deer had been trapped by the fire and had
died a painful death.
Merth scooped the largest deer into his mouth
and began to chew hungrily. Moments later, he spit bones onto the
ground and scooped up the next one.
Once he'd finished eating, his belly
satisfied, he took to the air in search of the living

Mirabella, her fairies, the pixies and
sprites could easily fly across the river, but the others were busy
finding well-shaped acorn tops in which to make the trip. They
found small twigs to use as oars.
“Ambrosia, you will need to ride upon Majik
across the river and Rom will ride Nadia. Jollah will lead the
way.”
“How will we protect the village like
Mystical Forest was protected?” Ambrosia asked.
“The Mystical Forest is wherever we are,
Ambrosia. We are what makes it magical. As soon as we find a place
to call home, we will cast a protection spell. They last for
hundreds of years.”
Bean and the others began to put their acorn
shells into the water and climb in. Luckily, the water was shallow
and calm.
As they set sail Mirabella looked back one
last time at the place she had called home for over one hundred
years. She felt a twinge of sadness, but knew that their future lay
ahead.
Looking down at her loved ones as they
paddled across the great river she could not help, but smile. As
long as they had each other, everything would be all right.
A new beginning awaited them ... as did a
darkness like they had never known.
