" Oh great Zod! Why dont you just tell everybody we are coming? So much for the element of surprise!" Kaine raises his arms into the air and starts to complain. He mumbles while he walks faster. Great, always come in handy those dragons when you want to crash a party that is. Kaine sighs and looks to his big brother. The dragon looks back with big friendly eyes and nods. " I am sorry Kaine. I just have a strange feeling about this, dont ask me what it is. Mother gave you the Staff of the Dragons, she must have had a very good reason to give it to you. I just hope you are strong enough to control the magic it holds inside." Zodiacs heavy voice sounds concerned as he continues. " No human ever has seen or touch the Staff and now a human is in control of it. It holds such great powers unknown to others besides the dragons. Every element of magic we dragons control is combined in one little staff. So vulnerable but destin to be created i guess. We all put something in it. Though its magic isnt as powerful as that of a dragon but it will help us on our quest. Though i must warn you that you need to get control over it or it will control you. Dont ever forget who you are when you use it. It can save your life or destroy you as well. I am not worried you wont be able to control it, i am just worried we might loose it and in the hands of the wrong person it can be pretty destructive. And then only a Yastyr can save the world." Zodiac dark eyes look sad as he goes silent and seems lost in his thoughts.
Kaine tries to keep up with the large dragon. His face looks confused. " Whats a Yastyr Zod? I never read or heard about Yastyrs." His voice sounds curious when he waits for an answer from the red dragon. Again Zodiac starts to talk. His head lifted high in the air. He looks at the blue sky and roars softly. " The Yastyrs. The creators of worlds and magic. Once they were with many but now i cant remember ever to have seen one on this planet. They were the ones who kept everything in balance. Who possessed the secrets of High Sorcery. Every single one of them controlled all elements of the purest magic you can think off. But like all great powers it was tempting to use it to conquer worlds. No one really knows what happened to them but i believe the Arch Yastyr decided it was time for them to leave the worlds. There was a big war between the Yastyrs, centuries ago. They battled each other and at the end there was not even one left. At least that is what everybody thinks. Though the prophecy tells us they will return when they are needed. A man and a woman will return to this world and bring back the balance. But when and who nobody knows. All i know they must have a soul connection to control the magic inside. If one of them gets killed the other will not be able to control the magic and then all is doomed. Strange story isnt it my brother?" Zodiac grins but his eyes are cold. He looks at the man next to him. The Staff in his hand as he walks in silence. His eyes glow when he thinks about what he has heard. Yastyrs, maybe that girl is one of them but who is going to be the other one? They continue their journey in silence. Each alone with their own thoughts.
Suddenly Kaine feels a presence off something. The Staff starts to glow with a soft yellow light. It burns in his hand and grows more intense by the second. Kaine screams in pain but holds on. Zodiac just looks at him and doesnt do anything. He looks at his brother and knows the Staff is testing its owner. Hang on my brother, hang on. It is just a test nothing more, if you fail now the Staff will control you. Kaine stops screaming and looks at the Staff. It glows with bright colors and moves as if it was alive. Kaine concentrates and relaxes. A warm blue light covers the Staff. He closes his eyes and lets go of the Staff. For one moment the Staff starts to spin. Then suddenly it hangs still in the air. Kaine spreads his fingers as the blue light surrounds him and the Staff. He moves his right hand up and the Staff follows. He turns it without touching it. He opens his eyes and laughs. He makes a throw movement and the Staff flies away. Then he snaps his fingers to command the Staff to return to his hand. Zodiac looks at the scene with big eyes. Kaine is in total control of the Staff.
