"Alright then." Evan said. "I get why Thorn is put under observation. BUT WHY THE HELL AM I AS WELL!"
"Its not observation, its simply acting as guards." Luminous said curtly.
"After all, if she did turn, then you'd be the first person she'd be after right?" Phantom winked suggestively.
"Phantom. This is no time for your kinky romance ideas." Luminous said again.
"Comon Luminion!" Phantom protested. "You're such a stick in the mud. Have fun once in a while!"
"But why did I have to get stuck with you two... couldn't I have gotten stuck with Aran and Buster?" Evan sighed. Actually... that probably would be even worse... Buster would probably try to worm all the details out of her. In fact... there was nobody she really wanted to be stuck with other than Mir and Thorn right about now. "Anyways! I still have to search for dragon eggs. Now that the rest of the Black Mage's army is ripping themselves up during the power dispute, I actually have time to look for eggs and I actually have a lead right now."
"Actually?" Phantom's cards stopped glowing as they dropped back to the ground.
"Yes. Since you are my guard, you can take me and Mir to the Temple of Time."
"Its Mir and I." Luminous said, crossing his arms. Evan sighed. This was going to be a long day.

Thorn finally started to stir after they had already decided that it would be best for Mercedes and Aran to watch her while she was in observation. when her eyes opened she expected to still be in bed with Evan but was stunned to see she was chained and unable to move very far, "why am I in chains? WHY AM I NOT STILL IN BED!" Thorn said her voice showing hints of panic as her mind started to wander. had she hurt Evan? is that why she was chained up? no even if she had gone insane in her sleep she would never hurt Evan or Mir. "why am I chained? did I..........did I hurt Evan?" Thorn asked averting her gaze to the floor the horror her mind kept coming up with eating away at her mind. "ah! so the traitor finally decides to wake." Mercedes said with a cruel smirk on her face, "and suddenly we find our places reversed mere hours ago I was the one tied up by your hands. now it is you who are tied by mine.". Aran simply shook her head even she didn't want to believe Thorn had turned but with all the things she had been forced to do it was possible it had finally made her go insane, "no you didn't hurt Evan she is perfectly fine............shaken up but fine. you tried to kill empress Cygnus, we do not however know if you were being controlled by Lotus since there are rumors he still lives. or if you finally snapped form all the fighting and went temporarily insane." Aran said acting more civil then Mercedes Maha had been strangely quiet ever since the incident. Thorn only nodded satisfied that Evan was safe and she assumed Lily was still in her bed, Cygnus was another matter all together Thorn didn't hate the young empress but she didn't have cause to like her either.
~Lily~ Lily walked aimlessly through the corridors of the temple she felt foolish listening to a voice she couldn't see but it would be better then sitting around listening to the clinking of armor as knights ran around in a panic. "what am I even doing here....." Lily asked herself as she turned a corner and found a weird stone it had a strange symbol on the face. touch it. embrace your destiny to become..........a dragon master! the voice spoke again before going quiet the voice sounded feminine but childish at the same time. Lily shook her head, "why for the love of Cerberus would I listen to a voice I can't even see!" Lily squeaked to herself when she realized she had started reaching towards the stone. because I am right in front of you I am time itself. the voice muttered to Lily again before the little girl gave a shrug satisfied with her answer and touched the stone before realizing instead feeling cold the stone felt warm, to warm to be any type of rock. suddenly the girls palm started to tickle feeling the urge to scratch it she turned over her hand and saw the same symbol that was on the stone in front of her. she thought about just walking away and thinking on what had happened but instead she picked up the stone and snuck back towards the alliance camp and her bed to hide it.

"Absolutely nothing." Evan said gloomily. "Not a single dragon egg."
Phantom patted her on the shoulder. "Maybe its because only a dragon's master can find the egg. Truthfully, i had also been looking for them until we stumbled upon you. Claudine was quite surprised as well with the girl who pranced around with her giant lizard"
An amused smile tugged on Luminous's lips. "We were even more amused by the fact that you looked so much like Freud, and eventually decided it was to be your own path to seek."
"Wow you two actually agree on something" Evan said sarcastically. "I'm touched. That reminds me though... I should go check up on Lily."
Luminous frowned. "Lily?"
"You know... Thorn's daughter. She asked me to take care of Lily with her."

Luminous didn't react with more then a nod, "that's good. Thorn will need someone like you to watch her since she likes to charge off on her own." Luminous said walking out of sight under the excuse of looking an area they may have missed slamming his fist into a column.
~Thorn~
Thorn had gotten up to keep her legs form going numb for what felt like the hundredth time, "how long am I going to be in observation?" Thorn asked mainly speaking to Aran since she didn't treat her like the scum of the earth like Mercedes did. "until we can be sure that Lotus isn't controlling you then you will get more freedom but you would still have guards with you." Aran said before Mercedes could get the chance earning a glare form the Elf queen. Thorn nodded she understood the reasoning for being held the way she is but that didn't mean she had to like it and as soon as she could get out she would make sure Lotus was dead.
~Lily~
Lily heard voices as she got closer to the exit of the temple peeking carefully around a column she noticed Evan Phantom and one person she didn't know letting out a slight squeak she hid back behind the column thinking they were coming after her, I can't let them have you.........Asuna. Lily thought to herself before shaking her head why did she name a rock? shaking her head she continued quietly creeping towards the exit before to long she was gone but she wasn't sure if she had been seen. so she ran back to the alliance camp and quietly resumed her place where the children slept hiding the rock under her blanket and behind her back incase someone came in to look for anything they wouldn't find it right off.

"Isn't he supposed to be with me at all times?" Evan asked. Phantom shrugged.
"I'm worried about Thorn though... will she be alright?" Evan asked.
"Have faith in your girlfriend." Phantom said. "She'll pull though" at the word pull, he produced a rose out of thin air and handed it to Evan, who blushed.
"But... but... I'm dating Thorn" She stammered.
Phantom chuckled "You can give it to Thorn if you want. Or you can keep it for yourself." Evan blushed even more, then noticed something out of the corner of the eye.
"Hey.. isn't that?" Evan looked a bit confused. "Lily?" She ran over to the figure.

Luminous had come back to Evan and Phantom as she had called for Lily. raising an eyebrow in question to Phantom who merely shrugged in response and followed after Evan Luminous in tow as well.
~Lily~ as Lily lay in her bed the stone next to her seeming to only grow warmer, the symbol on her hand shed a soft glow which she hid under her blanket pretending to be asleep until the other children started stirring which she only layed in her bed keeping the stone close to her. "what are you. should I tell Evan? why did I name a stone Asuna!" Lily exclaimed to herself. while she had been pondering about what she had been found she found herself dozing off she hadn't slept well and the sound of armor clinking all hours of the night didn't help at all.
~Thorn~ it was driving her crazy not being able to walk around freely and she was starting to get cramps from the inactivity. "can't we atleast keep the chains on but unhook them from the walls so you two can walk me around? this inactivity is giving me cramps and driving me crazy!" Thorn muttered standing instead of sitting even though they had her arms chaned behind her back and her legs chained to the floor she was still able to stand or walk if she so chose but she could not eat unless Aran or Mercedes did it for her. "i can't wait till i get out of here.............the first thing i am going to do is check on Lily. make sure Evan is okay and THEN go make sure Lotus is dead!" Thorn exclaimed she didn't care if Mercedes didn't approve of her being with Evan she would get over it or Thorn would gladly trounce her in a dual again.

"Lily? What would she be doing in the temple of time?" Luminous frowned.
Evan shrugged "I dunno. I'm gonna ask her about it though. There's no reason a young girl should go into the temple alone like that. Its very dangerous."
"You're one to talk" Phantom muttered.
They got back to the camp and Evan made a beeline for the tent in which the children were sleeping in.
"Lily? Are you here? Its Evan." She poked her head inside. "Can I ask you something? What were you doing in the temple of time?"
Both Luminous and Phantom face palmed "That's not how you get information from someone!"
Evan shrugged. "It is out of a 9 year old kid."

Lily hid her hand underneath her small frame to hide the glow when Evan started trying to address her, " E-Evan?" Lily squeaked hoping Evan hadn't seen her palm glowing. pushing herself farther back to keep the stone covered and hidden form view. "I wasn't in the temple! I was told not to wander off alone, why would I go into the temple alone? there could still be Black wings in there!" Lily started stammering nervously her actions saying to those familiar with liars would reveal she had been in there. "but..........I do have one question Evan!" Lily said biting her lip nervously. "what's this? and why is it glowing!" Lily said thrusting her hidden hand out within Evans view. the only thing she wished to keep hidden is the stone behind her. Lily was nervous about how Evan would react to her hand, either Evan would be confused or she would likely become angry wishing to know where she got the symbol.
~Thorn~ it was starting to bother her she didn't know how Lily was, she didn't know if Evan was okay after what had happened. "can I at least see Lily and Evan? I don't care if I can't hug them just at least let me see them!" Thorn exclaimed. Mercedes smirked and pushed Thorn back down, "you know we can't do that you are a potential danger, what would stop you from trying to use one of them to escape?" Mercedes said with her usual tone of superiority. oh how Thorn longed to smack the smugness right out of her but it could wait...........Lily and Evan were more important after all she had already beaten Mercedes, twice already and she could do it again if she needed to.

Evan's mind raced as she saw the emblem of the onyx dragons on Lily's hand.
"Is that...."
"It can't be!"
"It is." Evan confirmed. She connected the dots. Mercedes hid Dragon eggs at the Temple of Time. She was sure that she had seen Lily there. She also knows that there's a strong emotional force driving a master to find their dragon. She smiled brightly "Well then! let me see your dragon egg."
Her face was lit up with excitement. Her hypothesis was correct. Only a dragon's master could find the egg if it had been hidden. And it was Thorn's child. She would be teaching Thorn's child.
A small frown crossed over her face. She guessed her brother wouldn't have a dragon after all.

Lily looked confused she didn't expect this kind of reaction from Evan. "egg? dragon egg?" Lily asked confused before she reached behind her and pulled the stone into view, "I found a stone but I do not think it's an egg! but why is my hand glowing! am I going to die!?!" Lily started muttering nervously again not sure whether what Evan is saying is a good thing or a bad thing based on Evans reaction it could be a good thing, but then again if Lily did show her the stone Evan could take it away. "don't touch Asuna." Lily said as she wrapped her arms around the stone. there was that name again why did she call it Asuna.......it's not like the stone was an actual creature right? "what if by some chance I had been wandering in the Temple alone? what would happen?" Lily asked nervously, "and if this is an egg then how do I hatch it!" Lily asked using unneeded enthusiasm. "are you going to tell mom? don't tell her!" Lily exclaimed resisting the urge to throw herself at Evan begging for her not to tell her mother.

"You found an Onyx Dragon egg" Evan said excitedly, abruptly hugging Lily. "Isn't this cool! I knew there were more! I just knew it! I'll teach you all about being a Dragon Master!"
She admired Lily's palm again. "So your dragon's name is Asuna, eh? Don't worry I won't take her away, she is your partner after all. You two are bonded for life. She'll hatch when she's ready."
"Your mother would be very happy to find out." Evan winked. "But if you want lets keep it a secret amongst the 6 of us alright?"
"Six?" Phantom asked, a bit confused.
"I am assuming she is counting the dragons."
"Nobody asked you."
"Actually you did."

Lily looked partially annoyed at both Phantom and Luminous, "will you BOTH shut it! by the goddess rinne you two bicker like brothers! and I have heard brothers bicker!" Lily exclaimed she was partially excited that Evan would be teaching her about dragons, and even more so that she wouldn't take the egg away from her. "hatch when it's ready.........is there no way to help it along? I am sure that Mir would like to see Asuna." Lily said as she held the egg in front of her, "no one will take this from me. not even the empress herself!" Lily said as she stood next to Evan holding her egg close to her, "well when do we start? I doubt I will be able to start learning once it hatches I wouldn't have a single clue what to do!" Lily said most of her nervousness now gone since she knew she could keep the egg. she however could not explain why she felt she needed to carry it with her.

Evan smiled "Atta girl." Then she realized that she would have no idea how to hatch one either.
"First of all, lets get an incubator for it. Leafre should have a few small ones. Then we should start training. I'm sure the experience you gain will have an effect on Asuna's mentality. After all, Onyx Dragons don't grow with time but with experience, right Mir?" She patted her own dragon on the head. "I guess I'd take you to Henesys to train. That's where I started"
~2 days later~
"Its hatching!" Evan shouted.
Despite her excitement she seemed to think she forgot something. "Ohh.... right.... Thorn's going to kill me...." she muttered, loud enough only for Mir to hear.

Lily drooped to the ground panting heavily she had taken down goddess only knows how many mushrooms before Evan shouted that her egg was hatching, "good.........I was just beginning to think this would never end." Lily said flashing Evan a weak smile. she had been training for two or three days and she was starting to think the egg really was just a stone, but there wasn't time for that now!
Lowering her right shoulder slightly Lily removed the pack she had kept the egg in while she had been training. Cracks started to web across the surface of the egg as Lily gingerly brought the egg out and set it on her lap, more cracks started to form when Lily placed the egg on her lap sections of the shell started breaking off. Mewling sounds started coming from the egg as a scaly white head popped out shaking the top section of the egg shell off it's head the scales were pure white but where Mir would normally have gold the hatchling instead had pure white scales with light blue horns and claws including the Dragon Master symbol on it's head,
"Asuna." Lily said looking at the newborn Dragon.
"I know my name! I may have been born today but I believe I know my own name!" Asuna said curling up on the girls lap after breaking the rest of it's egg.

"Alright then Lily. We gotta go." Evan sighed. "I just realized that I haven't visited your mother yet..." Yup... she was so dead...
"Hop onto Mir and we'll go back to the camp." She said. "Asuna's definitely not big enough to ride on alright? When she is I'll get you outfitted with a nice saddle."
~CJWrites~
"Err...." Evan sweat dropped. "May I go see Thorn now?"
"She's been waiting." Aran chuckled as she opened the door.
