Chapter Text
Climbing up the trellis of the Stilinskis house the lizard makes it to his destination. The window of one Stiles Stilinski. Jackson slowly opens the window. He crashes into the invisible barrier.
( Jackson)," What's this?"
( Mystery voice)," Look down boy,"
The voice was thick and,husky. It sounded like it was all around.
( Jackson)," Who's there?"
( Mystery voice)," Look down."
Jackson looks at the edge of the window sill. There was a black line of mountain ash.
( Jackson)," It's mountain ash. I can't break through.'
( Mystery voice)," Does the wind need to break through to move things?"
( Jackson)," What are you talking about? Who are you?"
( Mystery voice)," Boy, use your brain. You have a tail. Just use it to blow the mountain ash away."
( Jackson)," I'll give it a try but,it still doesn't answer my question."
( Mystery voice)," Protect the spark and,I'll answer your question to the best of your understanding."
( Jackson)," Did you just call me stupid?"
( Mystery voice)," Is that another question?"
( Jackson)," Forget this,I'm leaving."
Jackson turns around and, immediately stops. He looks around for more mountain ash and,sees none.
( Mystery voice)," We need to protect the spark."
( Jackson)," Are you talking about Stilinski? He seems fine. He was fine enough to hit me with his jeep."
( Mystery voice)," Turn around and, smell the room."
Jackson turns around getting his face as close to the room as he can.
( Jackson)," It smells like B.O."
( Mystery voice)," What else can you smell?"
Jackson sniffs again.
( Jackson)," It's smells like rubbing alcohol and, blood. He's hurt. Who hurt Stiles?"
Just then, Stiles starts to make a gagging sound like he was going to throw up. The only problem he wasn't rolling over to his side. Jackson notices this and, quickly uses his tail to fan the mountain ash line enough to break through. He used one hand to roll Stiles over to his side while his tail held a small trash can to his face. Once done Stiles slowly rolls back onto his back. His eyes close drifting back to sleep.
(Jackson)," I'm here now. Start answering my questions."
( Mystery voice)," The best way to describe me is that book over there. The one with sward and,the stone."
Jackson stands up grabbing a children's book with a dragon ,a knight, and a sward in a stone on the title.
( Jackson)," You're a knight?"
( Mystery voice)," No, we are the guardian of the spark."
Jackson starts slowly going through the children's book. The voice pipes up when a page shows of just the sward inside a stone.
( Mystery voice)," There, that's the spark!"
( Jackson)," The sward?"
( Mystery voice)," The sward was a trick. A story told from knight to knight so they wouldn't chase her."
( Jackson)," Her who?"
( Mystery voice)," Sophia,the daughter of Merlin and, Author. They were mates. Author a great alpha wolf. Merlin ,his mage emissary. Their created the spark. "
A picture flashed of a memory Jackson never had. It was a beautiful woman with milky white skin and,hair so blonde it was almost white. The most remarkable thing about her were here eyes. Her eyes are honey brown. The same shade of brown as Stiles. Jackson's looked into them hundreds of times over the years.
( Jackson)," So, you're saying Stilinskis is the descendant of Merlin and,King Author?"
( Mystery voice)," Yes."
( Jackson),"and we are like what? His lap dog?"
( Mystery voice)," We are the guardian. You are descended from my line. A line of guardians before you chosen from me."
( Jackson)," So you're the father of dragons?"
( Mystery voice)," Yes, grandson. Ours is the only line chosen by Merlin himself to protect the spark with our life. "
( Jackson)," Where were you " grandpa " when Matt was telling me to kill people?"
( Mystery voice)," Waiting for the fire in the spark to ignite. "
( Jackson)," What happened to him?"
( Mystery voice)," Extreme pain. That boy was brought to deaths door only to be burned."
( Jackson)," SOMEBODY KILLED STILES. WHO? I'LL CLAW OUT THEIR EYES."
( Mystery voice)," Breath in deep. We have a common enemy with our spark."
( Jackson)," GERARD."
(Mystery voice)," Yes, grandson."
Jackson watches as Stiles whimpers in his sleep. Jackson goes to wake him up but,is stopped.
( Mystery voice)," Wait,we can take away his pain."
( Jackson)," You mean like kill him?"
( Mystery)," NEVER. Touch his bare skin. Imagine taking his pain into you."
Jackson could feel pain creeping up his arm. He didn't stop even after he almost doubled over onto the floor. Not until Stiles breathing went from panic to normal.
( Jackson)," God, the little twerp is stronger than he looks."
( Mystery voice)," Looks can be deceiving. It's almost sunrise let us go."
This time when Jackson stepped out of the window he was stopped again.
(Jackson)," What is it now?"
( Mystery voice)," Why not go back in style?'
Two large wings stretch out from Jackson's lizard form.
,( Jackson)," We can fly? Hell yeah!"
Jackson runs and ,jumps off the edge of the landing launching himself into the sky.
( Jackson)," This feels amazing. Can we spit fire too?"
( Mystery voice)," That was an embellishment Sophia provided. She was a creative storyteller."
( Jackson)," I bet. Stiles is the same way."
They arrive at the Whitemore Mansion landing on the balcony outside of Jackson's room. Jackson enters, changing into his human self just in time for his alarm clock to go off.
