The Dragon Children Chapter XI: Reunion

When Saiyunne reappeared, she brought Jewel to Stephan. Stephan brought Jewel to his mirror and Pandora appeared.
"Hello, my child." said Pandora.
"Who are you?" asked Jewel.
"I am Pandora, queen of Hecate."
"Hecate?" asked Jewel's silver dragon. "The realm of the damned? What do you want with my child?" he asked.
"Who are you?" Pandora asked, her eyes flaring with anger.
"I am Abdiel." said the dragon.
"Abdiel, you do not realize this child is actually mine. It is my blood that is in her veins."
Jewel was astonished. "I am of the damned? But I have a silver dragon."
"This is not your true dragon. BUt I can give you the dragon you truly deserve. Do you see that chalice over there?" she asked, pointing to a chalice ordained with opals. "Give it to your dragon. It will make Abdiel a dragon worty of my service."
"But that woman who brought me here said you would make me stronger."
"This is part of it." said the sorceress.
"Do not listen to her!" exclaimed Abdiel.
"Child, I am your true mother." said Pandora.
Jewel gulped. She obeyed and gave the chalice to Abdiel.
"Those kartol are my creation." Pandora said to Abdiel. "If you serve me, they will not harm the child."
Abdiel considered what Pandora said. He realized there was truth in what Pandora was saying.
"You understand I'm only doing this for Jewel." said Abdiel. "I want to be by her side. That is all." The dragon drank from the chalice. Moments later, both the girl and the dtagon were writhing in agony.
"My stomach!" exclaimed Jewel. "It's on fire! It's as though I'm being eaten from the inside out!"
Abdiel began to change. His silver scales blackened like charcoal. Within moments, the transformation was complete. Both child and dragon bowed before Pandora.
Pandora ran her hand through her red locks. "Excellent." she grinned evilly.
"We will serve you well, my mother." said Jewel obediently.
