Resurgence of Times Lost
Ch. 28
A Chance to Enjoy Time Together



The ship shortly reached the base pulling in with the rest of the fleet with it and quickly it was anchored in place. This happened as John gazed around the base seeing a formidable almost fortress-like structure obviously well built with defense in mind and allowing a large force to be held in it. Not to mention the harbor that the ships had been docked in.
"I've been given the task of escorting you four to your accommodations and if you will kindly follow me I will lead you to them," Tris said startling John and making him jump in surprise
"Oh, yeah, alright," John said
Tris then turned flashing an apologetic look at John for surprising him before she motioned for them to follow her.
As they walked behind her John noticed the lack of guards protecting her and was surprised at the obvious show of her confidence in his good intentions, despite the obvious threat he must pose should his intentions change.
John’s curiosity slowly lead him to another question as he walked “So why is the military the only aspect of the government that is taking notice of us?”
“Well it’s actually quite simple, you are a special case and your mere presence shows that our world is changing. This change, however, has made a lot of the systems of our government become deadlocked, and they are unable to respond to this forming crisis as quickly as they should” Tris said to him surprising him a bit with how much information she was just giving freely
“So how important are we exactly?” John asked her curiously as he started his own admiring of the structures around himself.
“Now that’s an interesting question that not even we are able to answer. We know you have a lot of power… We did see you stop multiple battleships with no visible form of doing so. In all honesty, I know you're not a threat, but if you with all your abilities are afraid of a greater force, then I fear what we have rising outside of our view.” Tris looked at him with a practiced gaze to hide her emotions but her eyes still betrayed the fear she felt.
“We have been running for far too long, I agree with that, but I kind of hoped that we would be safe here,” John said feeling some hopefulness he didn’t even know he had broken inside his mind.
Tris then motioned forward towards a building that looked very reinforced almost as if it could survive a direct bomb drop. “This is where you will be staying. I know it looks like a cell but my superiors have made the choice that you need to be held somewhere that we can watch you until such time as you are determined to be completely safe or a threat, but I know you’ll be out soon, I see the look in your eyes, your just as lost as the rest of us.”
John nodded as he gazed at the building before remembering his parents and feeling guilty at not thinking of them earlier. “What about my parents? Will I be able to see them?” John asked hopefully looking up at her.
Tris gave a small smile and nodded to him. “Yes, we will tell them you are here, don’t worry, we can get them here in a day by air.”
John widened his eyes in surprise. “A day? How far have we  traveled?”
“You’ve traveled from Washington to the top of California. You all made surprisingly good time from what we were able to tell by satellite. As far as we saw, you came from inland traveled by land then made a direct course to the coast.” Tris said before she stepped up to another person and started talking to him leaving John in his thoughts”
Just then John looked back noticing the terrified gazes of both Tamenth and Kelly who were roving the buildings and people with their eyes in utter fear. Alusia, however, was looking at John with a gaze that seemed to show utter confidence in his ability to make things work out for them.
Alusia held her smile before starting to speak “John I know you’ve got this, I’ve seen so much from you, you may have started from simple beginnings but now you can accomplish what has been set for you, It’s fated, fate may not be kind, but it needs to be someone to save us from this threat, and I know that you are the best suited to accomplish this. So go ahead, speak for us, be our voice and our confidence, we will stand behind you no matter what.”
John gave a small nod of thankfulness to her before he saw Kelly step forward “I agree with Alusia on this one, no matter what we face, I will stand by your side against it,  You’ve done so much for us, your family and family sticks together no matter what danger they face”
Tamenth nodded still looking afraid. “Family sticks together and I’m not losing my family again”
John looked at them happily and thankfully. I’m so happy I have them, I don’t think I could do this without their support. Don’t you think Roluth? He waited a couple seconds before hearing no response from the dragon who had guided him so far. Roluth? Where are you? Why can’t I hear you? He started becoming desperate at not hearing any sort of returning voice of the creature he’d become so familiar with hearing.
“John? Is something wrong? You looked worried about something” Alusia said to him with a bit of worry herself.
“Oh, it’s alright, nothing too bad, you don’t need to worry about it,” He said while thinking something very very different. If I can’t contact him what will I do? I can’t do all this on my own…
“Well if there is anything you want to talk about then tell me, I’m here to listen to you, I’ll be your support and backbone,” Alusia said with a supporting glance in her eyes backing up her words to him.
“Thank you Alusia, that means a lot to me,” John said smiling into her eyes.
At that moment Tris turned back from the person she was talking to and motioned them towards the building. “Alright, we need you to get inside quickly and don’t come out until we call you out understand?”
John nodded towards her a little confused on her sudden change of tone and the urgency in her voice for him to get inside the building, he nevertheless took a step forward watching a surprisingly well concealed door slip upwards into the ceiling opening the way into a brightly lit interior with a hallway with doors leading off on the sides of it.
Tris took the lead again stepping inside and leading them down the hallway before she grabbed a door handle and opened the room wide. As it opened it revealed a comfortable living space with three beds inside of it including a carpet laid on the floor. It included other items including a table and four chairs and a couch in the corner.
“This is where you’ll be staying, I made sure that they at least treated you like more than animals. So here you go, a living room bedroom hybrid, though I’m sorry for the lack of beds... “ Tris said with a look of hopefulness as if she wanted to make sure it was all set good enough for them.
“It’s alright, far better than sleeping on the forest floor with sticks and leaves for a bed. And the beds don’t matter Tamenth and Kelly can sleep together and I’ll be fine sleeping in the same bed as Alusia” John said smiling up at her
“Oh, so you’ll only need two? In that case, I’ll get the other removed, there are others who need beds here and that will make someone very happy” Tris pulled out a radio and immediately started speaking into it.
The four of them stepped into the room looking around at the items laid out within before Kelly broke out “It’s like where I used to live!” She immediately sprinted over to the bed and leaped onto it snuggling into the covers and peeking her head out of them with a giggle. “I’m home!”
John laughed at her exuberance and watched even Tamenth gain courage as he walked to the bed she’d lept onto and cuddled against her. “Oh come on sis! Don’t embarrass yourself, your acting like a dragonet” She pulled herself out from the covers and tackled him onto the bed laughing. “I feel like a dragonet!” They immediately broke into a play fight rolling about on the bed and didn't even slow when they fell off it onto the floor.
John looked over at Alusia beaming happily. “It feels good to have brought them both joy”
Alusia nodded “They have a lot of their childhood to catch up on and what better place than here? Now, I’m going to guess we are gonna get the bed against the wall since it seems they've taken that other one?”
John gazed over at it smiling as he happily gazed at it “It’s been so long since I’ve actually been able to enjoy the comforts of sleeping in a bed, It’ll feel wonderful for me and be a great break from running away from the things that we have been running from”
Alusia nipped at him playfully before sprinting over to the bed and jumping onto it. “Come on slowpoke, enough chatter, we need some time together”
John rolled his eyes with the same smile and walked up to her climbing onto the bed at her side as she instantly started nuzzling herself into his neck giving a purr, he responded in kind just her near him doing a large part of helping him to feel safe. He then felt especially safe as he felt her tail twining around his and responded twining hers and his tightly together. In her warm embrace, he found himself forgetting about Roluth completely and just focusing on her warmth and energy next to him.
Their moment was quickly interrupted as a loud yelp of happiness cut through the room. “I win!” Tamenth called holding his talon down on a panting Kelly. “You may have got me this time Tammy but you won’t next time”. Tamenth looked at her smiling triumphantly “You don’t know what you're talking about Tel” Tamenth said to her looking down with a giggle.
John’s eyes immediately widened at hearing the nicknames, “Wait, Tel? Is that a shortening of Kelly’s draconian name?” Tamenth looked up and gave a nod “Yeah I just remembered! She was Telia, that’s what our pare…” Tamenth stopped and looked down sadly as he seemed to hold back tears.
John quickly stood up and leaped over to them wrapping them both in his wings. “Shhhh, Shhhh, It’s okay, it’s okay”. They both were quickly snuggled into his scales for comfort as they took his warmth making him realize just how easy it was to forget that they were mostly just little dragonets thrown into a dangerous world.
Alusia walked up behind him and put her head on his shoulder looking down at the two little dragonets cradled in his wings as he just thought about protecting them.
Moments later, however, he caught the sound of snoring below him and smiled looking down and seeing the two little ones had fallen asleep pressed against his scales. He quickly looked at Alusia motioning her towards the bed then at them getting the message between them without speaking a word. They then each took one of them John with Kelly or Telia, cradled gently against his chest with a talon and Alusia holding Tamenth in a similar fashion. They then gently slipped the little dragons into the bed and placed the covers on top of them prompting a soft purr from both and a smile from John in response.
Moments later Alusia tapped his back with her tail and motioned towards the bed that they had selected as theirs. He nodded and nuzzled her as they walked over to the bed and cuddled into each others scales falling asleep in moments.
Hey HO! I'm alive still! Took a haiku, but! I'm here and with a new chapter of the story I hope your all still loving, at least as much as I'm loving watching the story line develop! Each chapter is a new experience and journey that we get to share together, I don't really know where it will go, I have plans but the story flows how the story flows, I'm a passenger, the captain perhaps but I'm still captive to the whims of the wind and the curling of the sea that we travel.
Aaaanyway! New chapter, new reveals, new experiences, new times, more fun! 
I love writing these and would love feedback for improvements, truly if you have anything you'd like to see, ideas, improvements, anything at all? It's welcome and very much appreciated, every idea counts, creativity is based on such premises, and the more people we can enlist to help the more ideas and an overall far more lovely story!
Not gonna add questions here because you can ask em in the comments! Have fun!
Faves make my day and truly inspire me to make more of this content, it makes me feel I'm making an impact, you all are my lifeblood here, without you, I wouldn't be able to make all these stories that you all enjoy, well enough chatter from me, have a beautiful day!

The Dream
John woke to the sound of tumbling rocks.
Wait rocks? he thought last he remembered he was in his bed relaxing after a hard Friday at school.
He opened his eyes, but something wasn't right it felt like they weren't his own, they felt as if they had opened on their own, he then looked around and realized he was in a cave.
Where am I? was his first thought
Then he realized that it seemed as if there was something over him and behind him.
His head then moved of its own accord rotating farther than it should turning farther than 180 degrees, he then ended up finding himself looking down a tunnel that was in the wall of the cave. He then suddenly realized that there was an object in the bottom of his vision that seemed as if it was blue and scaly.
Scaly? he thought.
There was also a long appendage behind him that was also blue and covered in scales, he tried

Friend or Foe

John looked out at the sea spotting the leading ship and two more on the horizon as well as the jets rocketing over the water towards them.
They obviously mean to destroy you, destroy them before they get the chance! Roluth yelled through his mind.
But what if they don’t? John said still knowing that there was no certainty of their intentions.
IF YOU DON’T DO SOMETHING YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL DIE! Roluth yelled the noise echoing through John’s mind spurring his decision.
You're right, let’s do this before they get a chance to send something against us John said and with a thought alone he darkened the sky with clouds and flashes of lightning began striking out of them.
Alusia looked at him as he summoned the storm and as he began contemplating how to deal with the craft “You are the most amazing dragon I know!” She said causing John to feel bloo

John awoke with a yawn stretching his wings and the rest of his body feeling more rested than he had in a long time. Then looking around the room with a contented smile before he spotted two chairs set up in the corner of the room but without anyone in them. With his notice of them, he climbed from the bed prompting a small sound from Alusia as she instinctively reached for him where he had been then opened her eyes. “John where are you going? Aren’t you going to stay here with me?”. She asked a little sadly as he walked away. “Yeah I will just give me a few seconds, there are these chairs here now and I don’t know where they came from…” Just then he noticed that the third bed was gone too. Oh… They must’ve changed the room when they came inside before we woke up…
As he realized this he abandoned the chairs and moved back over to the bed with Alusia
