We arrived at the castle and I started shouting for my brother and parents, but got no reply.

"Ben! Mom! Dad!" I yell. Dude laughs

"Haha, this way." he trots in front of us.

"Ben and your parents could be asleep anywhere." Mal groaned

"Or turned to stone." Celia added. Evie covered her mouth, I was grateful because now that we were back I wanted to know what happened to my family.

"Ben!" Mal shouted

"I've go his scent. Very pungent cologne. Easy to track. Follow me people."

"That's great dude." I tell him

"FYI i give great cuddles too." he adds.

"Really? I never had a pet growing up." Gil stated "Well except for the elk head in Dad's man cave but that wasn't really.."

"Hold up." We stopped. Uma was touching a scratched out wall. "What's this?"

"That's impossible." I breath recognising the marks and touching them  "That's just impossible."

"What's that now, Sassanach?" Harry wonders

"They're beast marks. But Impossible the only active gene is me and I didn't do this." I explain.

"Are you sure?" Mal wonders

"Yes, Dad's was a curse but the gene is passed on too...." I trailed off

"The...What?" Uma asked

"The strongest child. I takes a lot to morph from one to another. It takes a certain strength to handle it at will. Audrey wouldn't have" i muttered "Ben!" I ran off I pushed my whole weight to open the old armoury doors fast.

"Ben!" It was empty. I sighed. I looked around for any sign that he was here

"So you can track cuddle and talk. Hey do you think his puppies would be able to talk too?" Gil beamed petting Dude

"Alright man. He's taken. You want a dog, adopt a rescue." Dude laughs

"Talking puppies, that's crazy." he laughed. I walk to stand on top of the podium as Uma and Mal walked either side of me

"I bet you lost some sleep thinking about me on the loose, huh?" Uma questioned I jumped down

"No, dragons don't really lose sleep." Mal replied.

"It's a lie, she did." I whispered to Harry, who chuckled.

"I wonder what fried Octopus tastes like?" Mal wondered . I snorted and Uma found it funny too.

"Okay, how about we don't do this." Evie sighs

"We're celebrating our differences." Uma retorted to her. I saw the suit of amor in front of us move.
