Here I am with the first chapter of my first story. WOOO!

Enjoy! :D


Our story begins in a small room in the dragon temple. The room was rather simple, a bed, a bookcase and a single table with 4 cushions to sit on were present in this room. At the table sat a small eight year old purple dragon, studying a book about the dragon-history. He sighed and put his head onto the book in a rather hopeless way. 'I'm never going to learn all of this until tomorrow.' Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door.

"Malefor, come out. Quickly!" Malefor recognized the voice and went to the door that separated his room from the rest of the temple. He opened it and came face to face with one of the guardians, the guardian of electricity. He looked a little bit like Volteer, only younger. Also he didn't have the horns on his cheeks.

"Hello Volt, what is it? And why are you so excited?" The yellow guardian was literally brimming with excitement. He jogged while standing.

"It's your brother, Malefor. He hatched." Malefor's eyes widened slightly.

"Really?"

"Yes, really! Come with me." Volt began running down the corridors of the temple with Malefor high on heels. They skidded to halt directly in front of the egg chamber, panting slightly. "Careful now, we don't want to scare the little one, do we?" Malefor shook his head. "Good." Slowly Volt opened the door to reveal a chamber full of eggs. Yellow, red, brown, green, blue, white, nearly every color was present. But the thing he wanted to see most was in the middle of the chamber. There were the rest of the guardians.

Fyre, the guardian of fire. He had fire-red scales with a yellow underbelly, comparable with Volt's scale color. He had 2 horns which looked like fishing-hooks. His tailblade also looked like a double-fishing hook. He was the oldest of the guardians and very wise but hot-tempered. It was easy to enrage him.

Icicle, guardian of ice. He had ice-blue scales and a dark grey underbelly. He also had two horns slightly curving backwards. His tailblade was a perfect circle. He was the leader of the guardians and also very wise and friendly. He always helped Malefor, with everything.

Terrus, guardian of earth. He nearly looked like Terrador, only, again, younger. He was the, physically, strongest of the guardians. He was also friendly but very stubborn. And he had the tendency to be a little bit too rough.

And lastly Viss, guardian of wind. She had white scales and a blue underbelly. She had two horns producing from the back of her head, curving backwards down her neck and then slightly upwards again. She didn't have a tailblade at all, like most wind dragons. She was the best flier and the only female in the rows of the guardians. She was the guardian who took care of the eggs. Unfortunately she also was the most anxious of the guardians.

Malefor jogged to the four guardians, too excited to walk calmly. "Where is he?" The guardians smiled and stepped to the side to reveal a small purple dragon just as big as the paws of the guardians. Around him small shell pieces littered the ground. The dragon himself looked a little bit like Malefor. He had three horns. Two produced from his temples, curving backwards like Malefor's only they were thinner. And on the back of his head there was a rather small horn not even half as long as the others. This horn didn't curve backwards like the others, this one was completely straight. His tailblade looked like a "U" where the tips bend together slightly. The small purple hatchling looked around with wide eyes. Then he looked at Malefor and cocked his head to the side slightly. Malefor looked at his little brother and a smile spread across his face. He bent down so that his muzzle nearly touched the tiny purple dragon.

"Hey, small one. I'm your brother. Malefor." The tiny dragon peeped happily and put his small forepaws on Malefor's muzzle. This made Malefor's smile even brighter. "What's his name?" Icicle bent down slightly and answered.

"His name is Neo. Neo Secundus." Malefor looked up with confusion in his eyes.

"But my family name is Primus. Why is his name Secundus?" Icicle smiled slightly.

"Because Primus means 'the first' and Secundus means 'the second'. You're the first purple dragon and he's the second." Malefor nodded.

"I understand." He looked back down at his little brother, who by now wrestled with one of the shell pieces. "We'll have so much fun together small one." Neo looked up at him again and ran to one of his forepaws and started wrestling with her. All of the Elders chuckled heartily. Suddenly Fyre stepped forward.

"Malefor, take your brother and take him to his new room."

"You mean the room directly beside mine?" Malefor half-asked, looking up. Fyre nodded.

"Ok." Malefor stood up and picked Neo up with his maw. The small dragon protested for a few seconds but gave in eventually. Then Malefor left, heading to Neo's new room. On this day, the fate of all dragons was changed drastically, even Malefor's. For better or for worse... we'll see.


Mostly character introductions. I'll get to the real story shortly. If something is unclear or if there's something that I have to do better please tell me. :)
