Our story begins on the peak of Mt. Divinity, where a large house rests. Inside, there is an angel-like creature with black hair and wings, blue eyes with black sclera, and zigzag marks on his face. This angel appeared to be in a lab of some sort, examining what appeared to be a yellow orb with lightning inside of it. "Interesting... wait! I think I've seen this before!" he exclaimed before going to a bookshelf. He pulled out a book titled "The Legendary Orbs", and began reading it.

After a while, he came to a conclusion. "A Legendary Orb... I can't believe I found it in my back yard! I've gotta find the other eight! Then I can make a wish to Neolaxy... a wish for someone special to share my lonely home with..." he said to himself before going to the work bench and putting together a strange device. He smiled triumphantly to himself. "This Orb Tracker will take me to the Legendary Orbs in a flash!" He then turned to the door. "Alright, Ash. Today's the start of your quest." And with that, he left.

A couple of hours after leaving Mt. Divinity, Ash was in the woods, in a human form that retained his hair color and zigzags, but now had brown eyes with white sclera. He prepared to check his Orb Tracker, when suddenly, a girl with purple hair and brown eyes zipped past him. The angel quickly checked his radar, and saw that the girl had what appeared to be the Lustrous Orb. "She has the Lustrous Orb... but wait... there's something... draconic about her..." he said to himself. His suspicions were confirmed when she swung past him, revealing to dragon wings beneath her hair.

"Hey, Miss! Can I talk to you?" he called. The girl stopped swinging on vines and landed in front of him. "Sure. The name's Iris. What's your name?" the girl, Iris, asked. "I'm Ash. I called you here about that orb you have." he answered before telling her the story of the Legendary Orbs. "I see. So that's what this is..." she responded. Ash merely nodded before extending his hand. "So... mind if I have that orb?" he asked politely. Iris merely glared. "Yes. I do mind." she responded, but as soon as she said that, she found that the orb was gone.

Ash stood there, the Lustrous Orb in his hand, when Iris soon began to glow. When the light faded, Iris was now an anthropomorphic dragon. Slight shock struck the boy, who merely stood there staring. The girl quickly took back the orb, reverting to her human self. "So... I take it you're gonna run away, too?" she muttered. The angel heard her and shook his head. "I won't run away." he answered. Iris then glared again. "That's a lie..." she began before a depressed expression appeared on her face. "Everyone else ran away... I even got kicked out of my village... Village of Dragons, my ass..."

Ash growled at this revelation. "Well, fuck them. You don't need 'em." he spat, before getting an idea. "Hey! I have an idea! Why don't you come with me? I can be your friend! And perhaps those dragon powers could come in handy!" he added. Iris was touched by this, and wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you... I'll do anything I can to help..." she whispered happily. With a blush on his face, Ash looked upon his tracker. "Hmm... it seems the next orb is only a couple of miles from here." he told her. And with that, the two headed in the direction of the orb.

After two miles of walking, the duo stumbles upon what appears to be a paradise of some sort. "Whoa... this place is beautiful..." Iris uttered in awe. Upon looking around, they saw what appeared to be a fox den shaped like a house. "Let's see if they know where the orb is." Ash told her. And with that, they knocked on the door.

After a few seconds, what appeared to be a little girl answered the door. "Can I help you?" the kid asked. "Aww! What a cute little girl!" Iris gushed. This earned a glare from the kid. "Newsflash: I'm a boy, you jerk!" the young kit, which happened to be a boy, growled. Iris realized her mistake and apologized profusely, but the kit merely rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Are you here for my birthday party?" he asked. The two shook their heads, prompting the boy to slam the door. Hard.

Ash then looked at his Orb Tracker. "Hmm... it appears to be inside the den..." he said aloud before remembering something. "What is it, Ash?" Iris asked. Silence. Then, the angel spoke. "That little brat has it on his hat!" he uttered. Iris then began to ponder how to get it.
