Max and Emmy scream, and begin to slowly back up until they reach a big tree. They are trapped with nowhere to run.

Max's POV
________

Emmy and I think it's the end when suddenly the dragon backs up, roars and falls unconscious.

"What happened?" Emmy asks out of breath.

"I don't know but I think we're going to find out now, look." I say pointing towards the dragon.

The dragon slowly gets to its feet and looks at us.

"We're sorry, Something bad is happening in Dragon Land. Please leave before we lose control again." Says the green one.

"Wait, Zak? Wheezie?" Emmy asks.

"Yes, it's us but we don't have time! Please le-" and soon Zak and Wheezie fall unconscious yet again.

"Maybe ketzle can help us." I say.

"Come on Emmy!" I say grabbing her hand, running towards Dragon school.

Max and Emmy knock on the door, on the other side there is grumbling then a small slot in the door opens. The eyes that look through are worn out with no trace of kindness left.

"What do you want?" The eyes say peering into the eyes of Emmy and Max.

"Ketzle it's us, Emmy and Max." Emmy speaks up.

"Yes, I remember but what do you want?

"We need help. What's going on?"

"I'll tell you but first I need you to do something."

"What is it?"

"The other dragons and I haven't eaten in days and we are famished. If you could go fill up a basket full of dragon berries we will let you in and tell you what's going on."

"Ok, but what basket?"

Ketzle slightly opens the door to slip a small basket out.

"Now go." Ketzle says closing the door and the little slot.

Emmy turns to Max.

"Do you remember where we get dragon berries?"

""Umm I think they're everywhere on the green patches."

Emmy and Max rush to any near by bush to find dragon berries.

A single bush only fills about an eighth of the two baskets and will have to find more.

"Emmy!!! I found a few more!" I yell from a far.

"Great! We now have a fourth of what we need." Emmy says frantically searching for more.

For the next few hours Emmy and I ran from place to place hunting for berries. And in between places we would hid and make sure no one was following us or was going to eat us.

"What do you think happened here Max?" Emmy quietly asks while picking berries.

"I am not sure. There are no signs that indicate anything. Everything seems just like it was but just without the dragons." I respond plucking the last of the berries on the bush.

"It looks like we filled the basket." I say.

"Then let's head back quickly, I'd rather not spend anymore time out here in the open." Emmy and I jog back to the dragon school where Ketzle was waiting for us.

Luckily no dragons came, I knock on the door and Ketzle opens the door just a crack.

"We have brought what you requested." Emmy whispers through the crack.

Ketzle closes the door unlocks it and swings the door open just enough for us to slip through. What we found inside was not what we remembered. All the dragons were all bandaged. Dry blood crusting over cuts. The stench of death looms over all of us. It is clear to see all of their medical supplies have run out. So far I have only counted a total of fifteen dragons. Some I can see are missing their wings. I turn to Ketzle.

"What has happened?" I ask, fearing what the answer might be.

"Dragon land has lost all of it's magic. Meaning that we become real dragons and everything turns real. Dragon land's magic comes from little kids using the dragon scales to visit dragon land but after you and Emmy stopped coming so did everyone else. For seven years we haven't had a kid come and visit. The only reason why we are still normal is because of the magic of the school. But the magic is slowly running out, you coming back has helped prolong us from turning as well." Ketzle looks to the rest of the dragons.

Ketzle continues "I don't know what we are going to do."

I look up to Ketzle, "what about Ord and Cassie?"

Ketzle sighs, "Ord flies around and attacks any other dragons in his sight. As for Cassie, she is in hiding but because she is so smart she is trying to help save us. She will contact us every now and again."

Emmy turns to me, a hint of sorrow in her eyes.

"How does Cassie contact you?"

"What usually happens is......"
