chapter 11- Island of Bones
" Look at all of these bones Ben", Arashi said, shifting through the sand of the beach.
The beach was nearly half full of bones. The bones didn't seem to be a specific kind of creature or type of bone. Skulls and femurs littered the beach.
" I gotta start a collection ", Kenshi said picking up a random skull.
" Okay, Ben, where is this magical force pulling you now?" Kenshi asked tossing the skull to the side.
The three spirit dragons were gnawing on random bones.
" Who's a good boy?" Kenshi said rubbing his yellow scaled friend. Ben picked up a tooth and threw it." That way", he said while pointing down the bone riddled beach. Kenshi dragged his dragon done the beach with the bone that he was gnawing on. Stubbur and Big Blue followed on their own. They stabbed over and on bones as they listened to the waves crash. Eventually, after about ten minutes of walking the group reached a cabin that had been built in a small cave.
Ben walked over and knocked three times. Nothing happened. Just before Ben was about to walk away someone answered.
" Who's there?" The voice from inside asked.
" Uhh-hungry kids", Ben hesitated. The door creaked open and a man revealed himself." How hunger?" The man said jokingly. The man had grown out and dry hair. His eyes where a murky white and he didn't have pupils.
" A bowl of soup wouldn't hurt", Ben said. The man invited them in the poorly lit room. The man lit a match and used it to lit a fireplace. The flames exploded quickly and brightly. They hadn't heard the sound of a crackling fire for years. The man gave the trio a bowl of soup and sat across the room from them.
" What beings you to Marrow? We haven't had visitors for at least a hundred years". The man asked.
"We came from Royal Island on a raft. We ran away", Ben said with a slurp. The dragons had wondered in and lied down on the very little amount of space that made up the floor." Aren't you scared?" Kenshi asked demandingly.
"Scared of what? The fire? No I love the fire", the man said.
"No the spirit dragons. There giant", Kenshi said.
" It would make sense that kids from Royal Island would have dragons. I'm not scared of spirit dragons, maybe demons but I'm old so death doesn't bother me anymore". The man seemed not to care for anything. They had invaded his house, took his food and he was perfectly okay with all of it.
"How did you become blind?" Arashi asked carelessly. The man went silent for a second." A demon", he answered.
"A Demon took your eyesight? How long ago?" Ben asked persistently.
"Its been about 93 years. I was only two or three when it happened though ".
" I'm sorry", Arashi said.
" What are you doing here?" Ben said finishing his bowl.
" I've lived here for...
