Chapter 1: Meeting The Lion Guard.
Keegan's POV
I sat in the back seat of my Grandpa's, Pick-up truck, as I stared out the window, a crimson scaled European Dragon stared back in my reflection's place. One of the downsides of being a magical species, is even though I'm Dragon capable of assuming a human form, reflective surfaces, more commonly glass based ones, always show what I really am. My name is Keegan Luong, I'm fourteen, and as I said before I'm a Dragon, but what I didn't know was that, I am a very special, rare, and powerful breed of Fire Elemental Dragon. Appearance wise, I have Caramel/Honey-colored hair, which , and sapphire, blue eyes, my outfit was a navy green tank top, with flame embroidery, under a crimson short sleeve hooded jacket, blue, cargo shorts, navy blue socks, and black, and white sneakers.
As I sat there, I felt something lean against me, and hug my waist. I turned to see my baby sister, Kaya. Well she's not exactly a baby, she's eleven, with Caramel/Honey-colored hair, and sapphire, blue eyes same as me. Her current attire is a white mid-riff, sleeveless, pink sorts, matching socks, white sneakers, and a sky blue vest with a special pocket on the inside for her wand. Only where as I'm a Dragon, she on the other hand is a Wizard. Her wand is presently stored inside her sleeveless jacket. As for her hair She keeps her's short, same as me.
" Well kids, we're almost there." Grandpa said from the driver's seat. " Feeling alright?" Grandpa Mao-Fu Luong, is Dad's, Dad. Like me he's a dragon too, except where as I have the appearance of a Crimson, European Dragon, Grandpa has that of an Orange, Chinese, Imperial Dragon, as a human he is fairly tall, with the build of a daily martial artist, and his attire consists of an orange sleeveless duster, a gold T, and purple cargo shorts, and a pair of sandles. But Kaya, and I get our looks ( well...Our human looks from Mom.)
Our Dad, Smaug Luong had Black Hair, and brown eyes, and pretty much embodied all of my sister's, and my Chinese heritage, seeing as We take after Mom, Nimue Luong ( nee) Russo. Back when our parents were alive we lived in New York, Thirteen weeks after Kaya was born, it was a Friday, and the 13th, there was an attack on my family, the Huntsclan, an organization bent on the distruction of Dragons, attacked our house. Dad fought back, and held his own but was getting over-powered. Mom gave my baby sister, and teleported us to Grandpa. The following day there was a report on our parent's murder. So Kaya, and I were left in Grandpa's care, As soon as my Dragon Powers kicked in last year, Grandpa started training me, Kaya however her powers just recently kicked in, and unfortunately we have no one to teach her how to cast spells, and use her magic.
and now we're moving out of the Big Apple, and into Whitechapel. As soon as we got there, the house was huge, not a mansion but, it's big enough, if not too big for an old, chinese dragon, and his two grandkids, one thing that came with us was the Wizard Lair, that mom left, Kaya, and I.
" Grandpa?" Kaya asked. " Will I ever find someone to teach me how to be a wizard, the way you teach Keegan to be a dragon?"
" Of course you will, dear." He said, giving his granddaughter a hug. " Just have faith, and who knows one day opportunity will be knocking before you know it." he said, as a knock came to the door.
" Was that opportunity, Grandpa?" I asked, only for Kaya to punch me hard in the stomach. Did I forget to mention My sister hates my jokes, puns, and funny stuff. My opinion I think she's just jealous, that she can't come up with that stuff herself.
Grandpa answered the door to see a woman in her seventies, same as Grandpa, with a delicious looking stroodle, Standing with her was a a boy with brown, messy, hair, and green eyes, around fifteen a year older then me.
" Hello, Welcome to Whitechapel." She said. " I'm Evelyn Weir, and this is my grandson Benny."
" Well, thank you." Grandpa said. " I'm Mao-Fu Luong, these are my Grandkids, Keegan, and Kaya."
" We realize you're rather busy, with unpacking, and would like you to join us for dinner." She offered.
" That would be great." Grandpa said. " We'll be by later, thank you for your hospitality, Miss Weir." He said, as Kaya, and I saw him blush slightly, we knew immediately what was up.
" Please, call me, Evelyn." She said blushing slightly herself. " Well then, We'll see you tonight."
" Only if you call me, Mao-Fu." He said. As Kaya, and I got back to work getting moved in after, Benny, and Miss Weir left."
" Good to know you still got it, Grandpa." I said, using my Dragon Strength, to lift the sofa, and put it into place. My comment earned me another punch to the stomach from Kaya. " Sis, could you cut that out?" I asked.
" When you stop making stupid jokes, I will." She said. I forgot to mention Kaya's a romantic. She loves a good love story, and when ones happening, and she approved of the couple in question she will make absolutely sure that nothing gets between them. For example if she could she would've turned Gaston into to a toad, and made him watch as Belle, and the Beast fell in love ( That's just a theory, folks. Don't quote me on that.)
Anyway we were moving somethings into the ketchen when the pantry door magically changed kinda like how the door in design, four symbols were carved into it, at the bottom was a wand, encased in an upward turned triangle, at each point from it's top going clockwise were the three fire signs, Aries at the top point, Leo at the bottom right point, and Sagittarius at the bottom left point. The carving at the top of the door was a pentacle, encased in a downward turned triangle, with a horizontal line through the triangle, while the pentacle was in the the top half at the top right was the symbol for Taurus, at the bottom point the symbol for Virgo, and at the top left point was the symbol for Capricorn. At the right side of the door was a sword with the the point facing downward, while the triangle it was enclosed in pointed upward, with a horizontal line through it too, the symbol at the top was of Gemini, while the bottom right point had Libra, and the bottom right had Aquarius. Finally the Triangle on the left which pointed downward, and had no horizontal line through it, had the image of a chalice enclosed in it, at the top left point was the symbol for Cancer, the bottom point had the symbol for Scorpio, the top left had the symbol for Pisces. ( As to how it appeared think like when the Room of Requirement turned into the door to a broom closet, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie. But that sequence in reverse.)
" The carvings clearly represent the four elements." I said, as She turned the knob there was a staircase that we took down the steps. When we got to the bottom we were in a circular room. The room consisted of squashy armchairs, tables, and a bulletin board where out dated notices, ads, spellcasting tips, etc. were posted. The room was decorated in several shades of red, the fireplace dominated one wall. The mantle of the fireplace was adorned with a portrait of a lion. The walls were decorated with scarlet tapestries that depicted witches and wizards, but also various animals. There are also bookcases located in the room, filled with various Dark Detectors and shelves of helpful books such as A Compendium of Common Cures, The Dark Arts Outsmarted, Self-Defensive Spellwork, and Jinxes for the Jinxed. But also a wardrobe, there were eight panels on it.
SeveThe panel at the top center just above the door depicted a giant tree, with two rings, another on the top, left depicted a lamppost in the middle of a winter bound forest. The one below it depicted a boy, and a girl each on horseback. There were even panels on the bottom drawers. On the left, had a man with a crown on, while the bottom right drawer had the picture of a ship out at sea. The wood framing on the right had panels too the bottom one depicted, a well fernished chair with a giant serpent surrounding it. And the one just above it depicted a unicorn, and stars falling from the sky. But the door to the Wardrobe had a massive panel, depicting a Lion.
" Wow, Aslan." I said, identifing the lion on the door. " The panels apparently depict the seven books."
" The Magician's Nephew." Kaya began, pointing at the top panel, and going counterclockwise. " The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, The Horse, and His Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle." She said, after which she reached for the handle to open it.
" Hey, wait a minute." I said grabbing her wrist. " How do we know if this will be safe?" I questioned, " I mean for all we know, it could lead to Narnia during the White Witch's rule?"
" We'll just have to stay on our guard then." She answered, whipping out her wand, and opening the wardrobe, Which was full of wizard robes. As she stepped into it, I followed, after her, taking Lucy advice not to shut the door due to the stupidity of shutting oneself inside a wardrobe. The wardrobe seemed to go on forever, until we came out into what looked like some sort of cave. The walls are covered with many paintings, including those of a lion cub, with a honey badger cub, a cattle egret, a hippo calf, and a cheetah cub all five of them anthropomorphic, as well as a black-maned anthropomorphic lion, surrounded by four other lions. The cave had some foliage growing around it and a large pool in the center. Many rocks surrounded the cave of all shapes and sizes. There was even one noticeable rock that hung over the pool. A small shaft of light also peered down from outside.
" Wow." I said, as we looked around." It's like having a whole other room." I said as I checked out the paintings.
" Yeah, no kidding." Kaya added putting away her wand, and checking the place out herself.
" Hey Sis." I called. As I came across one of the lions who looked vaguely familiar. Well the the black-maned one. " This Lion here does he remind you of anyone?" I asked as she came to check it out.
" Yeah, He does." Kaya said, when she got a good look. " Kinda reminds me of Scar, from the Lion King." That's when she saw one of the same Lion cub, Honey Badger cub, Cattle Egret, Hippo calf, and Cheetah cub. And standing with them were two people. They looked like Kaya, and I.
" Wow, that's scary." I commented. " How they look exactly like us, is almost spine chilling." I said, as I saw Kaya pull out her wand, and tap the painting, and my image morphed into my dragon form, in a burst of flame, which was the same crimson, European Dragon I become, then the Lion Cub placed his paw on my left shoulder, as he did to Kaya, and there on our shoulders, was the image of a lion's head.
After that we spotted another, painting depicting, a tall statuesque woman who was pale as snow, with blonde hair, eyes as blue, and cold as ice. She wore a white dress, as she approach a Lion, Lioness, Warthog, Meerkat, Mandrill, and Hornbill she was carrying the longest wand I had ever seen in my life. It looked like an Icicle.
" Hey Sis, tap your wand to this painting." I said. As she followed me she did as I asked, and the painting moved. The woman, pointed her wand at them, and the animals turned to stone. " Oh great, she's back." I groaned, " I thought, Aslan killed her in Narnia."
" Well, guess she somehow survived." Kaya stated. " Well what do you say we get out of this cave, and check out the outer environment?" She said. As her older brother, you probably thinking, I should discourage that sort of action. Well not me, I may be over protective of her but as long as I'm with her I can dig it.
We found the exit, and we found ourselves in the Serengeti plains of Tanzania, and the cave we just walked out of, was in the face of what we recognized as... " Pride Rock!" How do we know what Pride Rock is, well we are from New York, and we have seen our share of Broadway musicals The Lion King, being one of them.
" Crazy how we got all the way from Canada, to Tanzania." I said. " Especially since where on the other side of the Pond."
" Think we should head back?" She asked.
" Well, if the Wardrobe has the same power as the one in the book." I said. " Theoretically, It'll still be the same time there as it was when we left. I hope."
" Hey, what were you two doing in the Lion Guard's lair?"
We turned around to see The five animals, from the painting. " Oh sorry, was that supposed to be a secret hideout, or something?" I asked. Yeah I know. My sister, and I just met five talking animals, and we're not freaking out? I'm a Dragon, Kaya's a Wizard so with that in mind we don't have much to worry about.
" Something like that." The Lion cub explained. He wore a pair of black shorts, and a red, vest that was open completely to reveal no shirt, and his belt which was well detailed, held a scabbard, with a short khopesh. " I'm Kion, Leader of The Lion Guard." He introduced himself.
" I'm Bunga, The Lion Guard's Bravest." The Honey, Badger said enthusiastically, He only wore a pair of black shorts and a bo staff, strapped to his back.
" I'm Ono, The Lion Guard's Keenest of Sight." The Cattle Egret said. He only wore a pair of green shorts, and a Bow, inside a quiver of arrows strapped to his back.
" I'm Beshte, the Lion Guard's Strongest." Said The Hippo. Who was wearing a pair of blue shorts, with a brown cloth that looped over his left shoulder, and came down to his hip, where it tucked into his sash, like a toga, and an axe strapped to his side.
" And, I'm Fuli, the Pride Land's Fastest." Fuli, whom I guessed was the only female in the group, was wearing a pair of black shorts under a yellow skirt tied around her waist, under a match and a cyan tank top, and a pair of daggers, one on each hip.
" I'm Keegan." I said, as I extended my hand to shake. Which they all did, well exept for Ono he used his wing. " Nice to meet you."
" I'm Kaya, his younger sister." Kaya said, doing the same, but both she, and Kion blushed, when they shook. " I love your outfit, Fuli." She complimented.
" Oh thanks, Kaya." Fuli said.
" So Keegan, Kaya." Ono said. " Do you mind me asking, how you got here into the Pridelands?" He asked. " And follow that up if I may how did you get into The Lair?" He had a sort of intellectual personality to him, with a slight paranoia added to it.
" Well..." Kaya, and I explained what happened, from moving to Whitechapel, Canada, from Manhattan, New York, to finding the room, and the entrance to The Lair through a wardrobe. " ... And that's how it happened." I finished.
" Wow, that sounds amazing, weird, but amazing." Beshte added. He seemed to come off as the type who would be anybody's best friend.
" Yeah, do you think we might be able to travel to your home that way?" Bunga asked, I realized he was the more free spirited one, with a healthy, undying, enthusiasm.
" It's possible." Kaya answered thoughtfully. " I mean we know that passing through the wardrobe might bring people to the pridelands, but we can't say for sure if it can work in reverse."
" We could find out." Fuli suggested, She really seemed to have a sassy, but sweet personality to her.
" True that." I said, looking at my watch. " But before we do, I wouldn't mind seeing the rest of the pridelands, what about you, Sis?" I asked.
" Yeah, I would." She said. " If that's alright with you, Kion?" She added blushing slightly.
" Well, Yes it's no problem, at all." He added blushing too. " If it's all the same to you I think it would be a good idea to get you two, acquainted with My dad, the King."
" You're right there, Kion." I agreed." It wouldn't be right if a dragon, and a wizard, just walked into your father's kingdom, as we ruled it ourselves." So we made our way to the Upper shelter of Pride Rock, where we would meet Kion's father, The Great Lion King himself. Which is a chapter for another day.
