VIII ‒ Hopes

Days stretched into weeks, which extended for months, which turned into years. Soon Helike and Flame would be completing two years old, nobody knew how to age or date of birth of the little red, then they decided it was the same day and felt that he had the same age as Helike.
Together these two years, the harmony and unity among the brothers reached a highly advanced stage. Even his parents thought that they would be so close together, although it sucked.
Another issue that motivated the parents was that, with two full years, the elders would try to seal the creature Helike and so could again be a family no longer an obligation. The expectation of the response of the elders and the possible restoration of the Long family unit, they ate as fire consumed the paper, could hardly wait.
Opted, as in the previous year, which at least on the anniversary of the Helike treat well, and he has noticed that their birthdays would be unique, enjoyed the most.

- Today, close to two years to complete, we have a special gift for you, Helike. - Said the mother enthusiastically.
- Really?! Where? Where?
- Calm down, all of your time, baby. - Interrupted the father.
Were heading for the center Lanshi while talking animatedly. Helike never questioned because of the act and were acting with him, rather than that perish into oblivion, at least in those days when they changed their behavior.
When they reached the central square, went to a small, rustic building, in which dragons, extremely Abels, wove subtle and fragile, but often worked both in the same piece of cloth that could produce strong and majestic dimensions. To the surprise of not only Helike, but also of his brother, his parents had ordered one of these benchmarks for both.
The garments were magnificent, both from a deep brown that resembled polished brass. It covered the entire length of the back, arrested on the thighs and forearms to not be flowing and, incidentally, impair flight and finalizing a kind of collar key with a large stone decorated. In the case of the stone Helike was greenish black with branches in all its extension. In the Flame of the stone was orange with blue lines.
Both were impressed with this and stated in using quotas, those which both parents and the artisans, have not hesitated to help them to dress them.
Helike never felt so happy before, mainly because of this quota would be one of the few ways to experience love from their parents after that day.
- Thank you for this, Mom and Dad! Simply loved it!
- Easy, little, there's more. - They carried the certainty that the spell backfire positive seal and could give much more for the little one soon.

Now were moving to build more elaborate Lanshi, a symbol of goodwill from the village of dragons, since art was not the best ability of the dragons were the reflection of other buildings, which, incidentally, were few.
This building was the temple where the elders met, and all were well aware of that, except Helike. During times of mistreatment to which he was obliged to resist, now and again he was left alone at home and her relatives had to find the elders for advice.
- Stay here for now, be back soon - said the mother and the father continued.
In another room they met the old chief, who had advised them to treat as they'd been treating Helike. He then ruled:
- I imagine they have come to try the spell on the young, no?
- Yes, exactly. - They said together.
- Well, let's make it so without delay. Apply what they have taught him so that it is unconscious and bring him here.
The Longs looked at each other with a few moments saddened by having to do this. Okay, come back soon . Said moved by love and hope, and left the room.
Flame Helike and found a lively play when they returned to the room in which the left, with a discrete signal meant that the little red detract from his brother so they could collapses it.
When the young dragon was already unconscious, they waited to let them in, then both the three were helped to get him into the presence of elders to give themselves initiate the process. The room was weakened with lighting and markings, from which emanated a bluish glow, nearly everywhere. In addition to the elders, five dragons were called to help in whatever way they can.
The old man rested his view on it for a moment and then with a cold voice ordered: - Off with his clothes!
Before they could protest, the five dragons had Helike abstracted by their relatives and stripped him mercilessly, leaving only the rags of clothing he had won the refined bit. Flame ventured to move forward and, with the prey, snatched the stone that was in his brother's clothes.
Shamelessly, threw the puppy into a circle inscribed with strange, and it fell with a thud and muffled, their parents, who could do nothing painful.
All the elders were present at the ceremony, forming a large circle around the circle squamous found where is the small. All rose synchronously and without any warning, sued the enchantment.
All entries on the walls became more intense, dipping all the ghostly blue they produced. The circle in which Helike found himself was the one that shone with greater intensity, making it almost disappear against by the glow.
Some moments after the start, a scene showed that the spell was actually had some effect: Helike arose, apparently, beside himself, looked at all sides until it rested eyes hidden by a red scary and tried to move, but somehow, the circle caught him and prevented him from continuing. After that, he released a roar of pure pain and fainted again.
The scene was horrendous, the mother could not stop crying, the father consoled her head down, apparently swallowing the weeping and Flame, feeling unable to do anything, just grabbed the rock that once was in his brother's coat, hunched , suffering with him.
Much time has passed, and many others as the first outbreaks were repeated at a time embraced the stone Flame also shone a blinding green, and when the glow dissipated, both the stone of its quota as the stone of the old quota merged brother, mysteriously, forming a yin-yang orange and green balls consecutively, blue and black.
When the brightness of the marks that covered the room weakened to become almost nonexistent, Helike appeared again with the same appearance as presented in the episode of conflict on earth, writhing in pain, and even unconscious, moaning.
His mother soon fell into tears, as if feeling the pain of the calf, her husband restrained himself to the utmost, but the tears just rolled down his face, it reflected his little brother.
- We believe that it is made. However, there can be waived so as mistreatment, fo--
- Why can not we?!? - Scandalized father with the Flame that is not restrained. - The enchantment was just so he could be happy not to continue suffering!
- If you allow me to continue. - After the two had settled down, he calmly continued - For never done that before, committed suicide the other pups before then, because could not stand the pressure, Helike is the first to endure so much and do not know whether the words used were the most promising.
- But there is no report in our entire history? - It rose to mother to tears for questioning.
- None was as strong to resist.
Amazed by the extraordinary will to live that carried Helike, they agreed to stay with the system for longer in order to test the charm, as much as it hurts them.
Approaching the infant, who was still unconscious and groaning with pain, his father took him to the jaw and retired, along with the other, the place, saying goodbye to the elders solemnly during output.
Then returned home to bitter, disappointed by so much suffering lead to even more pain. The young black dragon took several hours to get back to normal and the more the rest of the day to overcome the pain.

VII ‒ Why?

Since they were in a difficult situation, the Longs decided that they would follow the commandments of the old man coldly, hoping not having to be too harsh on Helike.  The show soon would be a task almost impossible.
The couple spent the rest of the day debating whether or not they would make Flame also act they would act, but finally decided, according to the love that only parents have that if the little one would have to lose someone that they were .

The following days all the events on Earth were the darkest possible.  The village remained in mourning for days, apparently not wanting to forget the misfortunes, and the family's decision that Long suffered were forced to take.
The poor black pup was subjected to a rigid training, both mental and physical.  Flame, heartened by the sudden coldness of the parents of his brother, approached increasingly Helike and chose to follow him in his physical training, since you were not mentally possible, considering that he was well treated  parents, just as if he were their son and Helike was the odd man out.
Constantly Helike had outbreaks such as that experienced on Earth.  But his love, even shaken, by their parents was indestructible.  Still, sometimes eluded her control of her whole being, in these moments his parents were forced to use the technique that the old man had taught them.  The technique was able to sequentially immobilize the young, calm him down, it falls asleep, and still make him forget the recent events.
The young dragon was increasingly swamped by an overwhelming sadness and despair, his brother argue, since it was the only confidant.  Helike quoted him how he felt when being controlled within himself, said it was a sense of power without principles, however, pain before and after the rule was indescribable.
Flame, which was now everything to her brother, began to be asked before the action and resentful of their parents.  One night while he slept heavily Helike, he left the place in which he was forced to cut themselves off and went close to her parents, sorry with the decision, but decided to do it, by his brother.
- Why are you doing this to him! "  - Said expelling all their anger in those words muffled as it could not scream as not to wake his brother.  However, was sufficient to arouse the parents alarmed.
- Hu?  What? - Oh, Flame...  What are you doing awake, dear?  - He asked his mother, asleep, seeing the young red ahead.
Again the little scarlet said, with more fury and more intonation - Why are you treating my brother like that?  What he has done so badly for you to make you feel so much pain?
Once looked at each other, the father spoke, with a heavy and sorrowful expression - For lack of choice, Flame...
- How so?
- You may have noticed the surge that his brother has not it?  - Mother said.
- Yes, yes and he told me that they will really hurt!
Both were caught by surprise, did not imagine the pain that cross over the boundaries sentimental, as the old man had not told this would happen, however, sought to remain indifferent to comment and continue - Him..  well...  He is dangerous and if we do not, it can become even more dangerous.
- Even with all this physical training are you submitting it?  He is getting very strong these days I saw him giving his first puff, and a bluish-black fire emanated from his mouth with the power of one puff of an ancient dragon!  As it will become less so dangerous?
- This power has no relation to the danger to which we refer.  - Said the father, breathing deeply, he continued.  - The dragon is a Helike particular, he is a legendary black dragon with crystal ornaments.  According to legend, that has been proven fact, all the dragon as he has over another being within yourself, be an evil and powerful.
"Your brother may look innocent and peaceful, the fact is, however, if he's weak mentally, be easily mastered, and who knows what you can do.  So we are submitting to this treatment and hard, believe me, it hurts us as much as the nights her mother cries intensely. "
After the finding confirmed with a nod of her head, he continued.  - The physical training, if he does not have the strength to endure these pains you mentioned, who knows what could happen?  In fact, we were just following what the old man guided us, but now that citastes about the pain that is why we understand the physical training pulled.
"Got it now, little one?"
With eyes soaking in tears, he replied - Why hide it from him?
- For training to really take effect with the least possible effort.  If he knew we're doing it for this purpose, it would be difficult to irritate him, so it would be more tolerable both for us and for him.
"Flame And before we forget, he may not know that!  Got it?  If you want your brother suffers less, do not tell her anything.  I believe that soon will cease this mental training, because he seems to hold up well, and return to the family that we should be. "
- I understand...  - The young man felt disconsolate at not because he could not do anything for her brother but to stand by his side, propping him.  - E...  no other means?
- No it is not dangerous enough to kill him.  He is still very young, being awakened earlier than previously thought.  If we can not do it perfectly control the creature, we must continue trying until we can seal it inside, but this can only be here two or three years.
- Hmm..  I understand...  - Flame said crestfallen.
- One more thing, Flame - said the mother, unwilling - Go with your brother know you're the one who has given her strength lately and we're happy to be doing this, so please continue.
- I will.

VI - A difficult decision

On returning Drunsgdom, a large mass gathered at the village center, next to the elders, all awaiting the return of the tour had been delayed a lot and everyone knew that the Earth harbored certain dangers.
The relief when hovered over all a purple aura became imaginary circle in the middle of the elders formed.  But this soon fades when the image of seven dragons being carried on stretchers improvised becomes clear.  The worst had happened.
  Helike already awake when they arrived, though still dazed.  He was, strangely, the most observed.  It was not the least, he had appeared a frightening and did not know.  All the hair on its mane back and stood on end in a dark and a somewhat negative energy emanating from the still small body, however, little felt relatively well, despite a thump and unusual fatigue.
Noting that the weather had taken a very sinister tone for a reception, the elders and some elite dragons went ahead of collecting the Longs and other newcomers to someplace more private, while some others were preparing the funeral for the deceased .
- What happened there?  - Questioned one of the elders, he had a sovereign pose, not least, he was the most influential among them all.  - They were hairless mammals?
- Yes, they were - took the word of a great dragon emerald - caught us by surprise, and while reacting to their surprise, we were overcome in a few moments, which managed the unwanted deaths.
- I understand...  And how was it?  How do you overcome them?
Helike's father who spoke this time - not combine anything to be honest, just go along, casting lots to see - said with a small smile, which was soon drowned out, since no one find it funny.  Then he returned to serious - We were beating slowly as they approached the platoons.
The old man then, after nodding, turned to Helike, who now returned to normal, but still somewhat changed - And you, little one, what you remember?  What happened?
- I remember a cave in which our parents asked to stay...  - He was interrupted by a question of suddenly wise.
- We who?
- Me and Flame.  Well, after I persuade Flame through the cave and go with me to fight with the others.  After not quite recall what happened, only that we were.  After a while we were fighting with the other two dragons.  Flame and I fought almost without leaving town, I sent a "beast rose" Flame away and was hit and fainted.  Hence the two dragons giving advanced gore, but were defeated by one of the animals roses, but this was very hairy.  Then he threatened to attack me and I blacked out when I woke up an energy nostalgia ran through my entire body, and so on natural, I beat all the animals, then blacked out again.  When I woke up a spare came toward me with a stick it, but I could not even move me to escape.  Then he threw the wood away and hugged me.  - When Helike stopped talking, everyone looked at each other, some whispered to one another, leaving him somewhat suspiciously.
- Hmm..  - Stood out was the largest elder - I speak to you in particular - was driving up to the parents of Helike, those who consented and followed him.
Helike tried to follow them, but was soon stopped by your father, who instructed him to stay there with the others and try to help, especially his brother.  Even contrary to his will, he obeyed and walked away.
Already separated from the group, the elder said: - I think you already know what I want to talk with you, right?
- About him.
- Exactly, imagine you have not seen him while he was being controlled.  We managed to erase that history, but if it recurs, you should be aware that we can not do anything.
"One suggestion that I give and I hope to follow, is to train the little self-control.  I know he is very young, but believe me it's better not wait to see what can happen. "
- And how do we do this?
- Cause it.  - Said the old man vaguely.
- What!?!  - Nearly cried the mother.
- You have to make him feel angry.  Only in this way that "being" can awaken.
- But if we can not control it?  And if we do, he may lose confidence in us!
- Are we ready to help if needed e...  - After a brief pause - Do you prefer this or his life?
The silence of the Longs and head down worked like a response to the question.
- What can we end this discussion here, I suggest you prepare early and not let him know why they're doing that, but can not work.
"But..." - was all that the couple could think of at the time, were overwhelmed with the attitude that would take.

When the three returned from the other dragons, Helike was helping them with preparations to honor the dead and the frame, as agreed, but still somewhat stunned, sat in a corner directing them.
- I suggest you share this decision with the little red too.
- But if we do Helike will be completely isolated, no not even his brother, the only friend, to play.
- It's just a suggestion.  - Said the dragon coldly.
