A Gruesome Bite (Part 5)

"I have a few tales to tell you, and the tales are true." Deera said to another young lady in the waiting room. "Honey, I don't think she's interested." Tara said as he sat down next to Deera. Iris was still in the Operation Room. "Actually, since I am waiting to see someone, I would love to hear a tale." The young lady said. "Well, if you say so. Let me tell you about my daughter and how she ended up in the Operation Room. She decided to take on The Flame Wolf by herself in place of us. She failed but, she fought hard. Then, my husband, Tara and I decided to go find her. We found her in the Under World, defeated the Devil and she ended up hurt. She lost a lot of blood but, I hope they can fix her soon." Deera finished as the Operation Room doors opened and out came Dr. Horseshoes. Tara and Deera stood up. "There is good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" Dr. Horseshoes asked. "Give us the good news." Deera said anxiously. "The good news is she survived and will live her full life. The bad news is she will probably not have function in her left side." Dr. Horseshoes said as he looked at them. Deera gasped and ran out of the office. The young lady ran after her. "Is it alright if I go see Dar... I mean, Iris?" Tara asked. "Yes you may, Tara." He said as he left from in front of the doors and went into another room. Tara went to room 1939 and saw Iris laying in the bed, all peaceful. He sat down and started reading the Book of Norwind.

Meanwhile, the young lady ran after Deera in the rain. "Mrs. Freedom!! Please, wait up!!" She yelled after Deera. Deera stopped and looked at the young lady. "I am Iris' friend, Droopy Keelhill. I am the Red Draginucous daughter of Fire Fortess, the Red Draginucous Mother." She said as she pulled back her hood and Deera saw that she had red horns on her head. "No... Way. Are you really, Droopy Keelhill?" Deera asked as she looked at her. "Yes, ma'am. It is. I know it's been a long time since the last time you saw me and my mother." Droopy said as she smiled her wicked smile. "Let's go see Daru Daru. What's your dragon name?" Deera asked. "HELLENFIRE!!!!" They heard Fire Fortess yell from the sky. Fire Fortess landed next to Hellenfire with quite a thud. "Fire Fortess, dear. What are you doing here?" Deera asked. "I here see Daru Daru." Fire Fortess said as she turned into her human form. Deera lead the way back to the doctor's office. "I will go see if Tara is in the room with Daru Daru." Deera said as she ran to room 1939. She opened the door and saw that Tara was holding Iris' hand. Tara smiled at Deera as she entered the room. Iris' left arm twitched as Deera walked closer. She opened her eyes and smiled. "Ma? Pa? Is... Is that you?" Iris asked. "Yes, it is us." Deera said as she knelt down on the floor next to the bed. "M... Ma? Where is Hellenfire?" Iris asked. "Her and her mother is here. They both want to see you." Deera said. "Not her mother... yet. I want to see my friend first." Iris said slowly. Deera stood up and walked out of the room. She walked to the front and got Hellenfire. She took her in the room and Iris was sitting up. Hellenfire ran over to Daru Daru and hugged her. "Yepen bell mendator queen aen scarinfloo. You gave me quite a scare." Hellenfire said in Red Draginucous tongue as she started crying. "Hey, hey. I am sorry. I didn't mean to give anyone a scare." Iris said as she lift her left arm and held back the wince of pain as she hugged her back. "Reswellen, ren frienseera! Rest, my dear friend!!" Hellenfire said as she teleported from the bedside to the door and left the room. Iris laid the bed back and laid down on it. She yawned and started falling asleep as she closed her eyes. "Rest my dear daughter. You will need all your energy for tomorrow." Deera said as she laid on the floor and fell asleep. Tara casted a spell to keep the room to what they needed to be more comfortable. He was used to it by now. He smiled and slept in a chair.

They woke up the next morning and Iris sat up and stretched while Tara slept. "Ma? I need to walk around." Iris said as she pulled the sheets off of her body. Deera stood up and stretched. "Alright. Let's go." Deera said with a smile. Iris got off the bed and walked towards Deerau. "Ma? Can you hold onto me?" Iris asked as she grabbed Deera's shoulder. Deera nodded and walked with her all over the office and across the halls. Iris smiled as they walked around until they bumped into Dr. Horseshoes. "I see you're up and walking. You are free to go home today. There is no charge for Iris." He said as he took the Ivies off. Iris' smile got bigger and she ran to the room to wake Tara. She got there and started shaking him. Deera stood in the doorway and watched them.

"Pa! Pa! Pa! Wake up!! I can go home!! Wake up!! Wake up!!" Iris said as she shook him. "Wha... Whatt? How is this possible?" Tara asked as he sat up and was half asleep. "Dr. Horseshoes said so and she's healed quickly since she is half Draginucous." Deera said with a smile. Tara stood and grabbed his Staff of Riles and the Book of Norawind. All three walked out of that doctor's office like a family instead of missing someone. They walked all the way home and headed back to bed to sleep in from the few rough days.

They lived happily and in peace...

Until the next time The Flame Wolf attacks.
