Steven and I exchanged bewildered glances. “Maxmillion was a dragon slayer?” “A hero...a hero of men?” Steven looked at me again, though this time his face was locked in a smile. “A very drunk dragon slayer.” As Steven turned around something caught his eye. He pointed to a bundle of clothes in the corner of the room. We all turned to look. Wait, it wasn’t a bundle of clothes...it was David. I turned in shock to Drake and Asher, who had come in while we studied the bundle. “He was in our room the whole night?” “How could we not have noticed him?” Asher laughed quietly. “Old heroes often find sleeping in other people's rooms soothing to their weary bones.” Drake elbowed Asher in the ribs, “Very funny.” “David fought with my dad you know.” Suddenly Drake had a serious face. “He was one of the five heroes who went to kill Kyvek.” …show more content…
“Yes, his father was a hero.” “He died for a worthy cause.” The old knight exchanged a knowing glance with Asher. I wondered what that look meant as I walked over to Drake. “I’m sorry you lost your father.” “I know what it’s like to lose those important to you...the ones you love…” At that moment, Lauren walked into the room and smiled softly. “Time to go.” “Is everyone all packed up?” Asher spoke for everyone. “We are...how are you?” I wanted to strangle Asher to death at the moment, but I controlled myself.

7. When the mother wanted David to lye on the stove and burn, David decided to see if he could trick her. He watched the clock and decided to see how long he could keep her from making him get on the stove until his brothers got home. He succeeded and from then on he decided that he would not give up and he would always try to outsmart his mother.
David changes his mind about Uncle Frank through the traumatic experiences regarding the discovery of Frank's secret actions. Uncle Frank used to be David's idol and David adored him.

It was a gloomy wednesday afternoon and Sarah, a senior at western high, was driving home from school thinking about dinner and what was on tv that night, her favorite comedy shows. Her brother loved comedy. They used to watch them every wednesday from 7 P.M. to 10 P.M. since they were little. Her brother, Nathan, was a tall, strong and caring young man, and he had just graduated two years ago. He wanted to be in the military to serve for his country and protect his family.

"Oh, my god...you are one of them as well?" I stopped my tracks and he turned his eyes at me.
“Hey, Jessica… so, um, what are you here for? If you don’t mind me asking, I don’t wanna be rude or anything…” David
