"I see..." the elder stated, knowing that a bond between Bishie and trainer could only be severed by two things: The trainer breaking the ball that he or she caught the bishie with, or the trainer's death. "It makes sense that you had traveled to locate Daniel, your trainer, but why run off so soon without any clues or information about his whereabouts?"

" I don't know. I was knocked put after the battle and had no idea where he was. I just went from town to town not sure where Bryce could had taken Daniel. " Toothless said hoping the council could help.

"Assuming that you have returned, that you have found your human?" A different dragon on the council asked. He assumed that the reason Saphira had asked for them to meet was because of Toothless' return, as well as his human trainer.

" I have. But something terrible has been done to him. " Toothless said feeling sad. He hated that Daniel had been turned into and eraser. " Saphira can tell you everything you need to know. " He added.

"And why can you, yourself, not tell us what has happened?" The Elder asked inquisitively. He wasn't being rude, just curious.

" Saphira understands this better than I do, but I will be here when she tells you. " Toothless said. All this was very hard for him.

The Elder nodded at his explanation, asking him to bring Saphira in so that she could explain what they were missing. They knew about the scientists, but so far they were doing no harm to the village...at least that was what they knew.

Saphira came in and stood before the council. She explained the situation happening to Alex and how it relaed to what was happening in the village she also told about what was happening to Tracy and about the school. She hoped there was a way to help Daniel, not wanting to lose him or Toothless again.

The Elders listened to Saphira, surprised and angered that they had not heard about this sooner. If they were turning innocent civilians and wild Bishies into their slaves...However, they could not directly intervene, even if they wanted to as per the laws stated when they helped the humans found this town. "While we cannot directly help you or your friends, Saphira and Toothless, we will see as to what we can do to help resolve your trainer's problem Toothless," The main Elder stated, knowing that most of the magic researchers would get on finding a cure for Daniel, and any other civilians that were involuntary changed..

Toothless nodded. He was glad the council was willing to help as much as they could. He just hoped they weren't the next targets.

(Just got back from seeing the new Judge Dredd movie. Definitely better than the original)

Saphira nodded as well. "Thank you for your assistance Elders. We greatly appreciate it," she said, knowing that the Laws stated that Dragon Council could not directly involve themselves into any matters, no matter how big or small. She just hoped that they could find a cure before Daniel's time was up.

( really ? Didn't like the original much. Might check it out. Did you see it in 2D or 3D? My theater has both formats now. Took them long enough to get 3D)

" Yes thank you. I promise not to leave like I did if things go bad. " Toothless said.

(Nobody liked the original much. Could only watch it in 3D though. Was still very good)

Saphira nodded as well, hoping that the young dragon wouldn't run if things got ugly. Seeing that there was nothing left to add, Saphira asked permission for both of them to leave, seeing that they had told the Dragon Council everything they wanted to know.

( I do like the original of Total Recall though. )

Toothless followed Saphira out and felt better. He knew that things wouldn't be as uncertain as they had been before.

(I kinda like the remake more, but that's just my opinion. Also, apparently the Governor of CA is starring in a movie of his own)

Daniel, Tracy and Deanna waited outside for the two dragons. Once they saw them come out, Daniel let out a small breath of relief, glad that Toothless wasn't getting punished for his absence.

( he is? I thought he was retired from acting? )

" We do have some good news. " Toothless said.

(Guess not. Newest movie he's starring in is called The Last Stand)

Daniel raised an eyebrow, curious as to what his friend had to say.

( sounds interesting.i won't be on much tomorrow. Working on a project for one of my classes. They have me taking 3 night classes. That's why on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday my replies were later. Though if taking more classes helps me graduate sooner I will do it. Have 4 more quarters left. )

" They said they can't help us directly but they will do what they can to help. They also will be looking to help you Daniel and the others that have been enslaved as Erasers.

(I was wondering about that, but didn't want to ask such a personal question in case you got mad at me for asking in the first place. And I completely agree with your logic)

"Really? That's great news," Daniel said as a small smile formed on both Daniel and Tracy's faces. A small amount of hope...was still something they would cling onto.

( I don't mind if you ask me those sort of things. I don't really like night classes. It gets dark so early now. At least I have Thanksgiving week off though. And to make things interesting my birthday falls on thanksgiving this year. )

Toothless was glad that his friends were happy. " We should head back to town before dark. I can stay near the apartments if you would like me to. " Toothless offered.

(Alright, and I couldn't stand night classes either, especially since they were so long...ugh. I'd rather take classes 3 times a week rather than twice or once a week...and I couldn't do Internet courses either, since I sometimes forgot about the assignment *insert sweatdrop here*. Glad to hear that you have Thanksgiving week off, and that's what, Nov 22nd this year?)

"I think that would be a great idea Toothless. This way if the Erasers somehow find a way inside to where the Apartments are we still have an extra measure of defense," Tracy said. She knew that the others would help as well, but didn't know anything about an Eraser's strategy. "I agree. I don't like the idea of staying out here after dark, especially with everyone trying to find us," she added.

( I liked the hybird class I had in the spring. It was every other week on campus and the other week online. I'm a bit nervous to take an online class though I'll probably have to eventually. There's one class that they can't find some one to teach since the college is so small.)

" Then hop on and lets go." Saphira said. She was glad that everyone had hope that things would get better.

(I see your point. Hybrid classes I'm okay with, just not full on Internet courses. It sucks that the staff can't find a teacher for one of the classes.)

Tracy giggled lightly before helping Deanna get on Saphira before getting on the azure dragon herself. A few seconds later, Daniel hopped on, making sure that he wouldn't fall off, fighting off a small blush from holding Tracy close to him, just like they did in the past. 'She's probably found someone else by now. Stop living in the past,' he told himself venomously .

( I don't think it will be too hard of a class. One of my friends from school has the book I need. Good thing too, that book is almost 300 dollars X( )

Tracy gave a smile to Daniel. She had a slight crush on Alex but still loved Daniel. She knew that no one could eer replace the man she loved.

(Yikes! I rented my textbooks for about $150-ish for all books, or something along those lines. I haven't been taken classes ever since my part time job turned into full time)

Daniel caught Tracy looking back at him with a smile and smiled back.
