Disclaimer: THE COVENANT AND ANYTHING YOU RECOGNIZE IS NOT MINE, I really don't like to repeat myself so please don't make me.
So this is my second attempt at a Covenant fic. Let me know what you think yeah?
Flames are NOT welcome, if you got an issue, then message me, but don't try to make me feel bad for writing. Like many people on this site, I'm putting myself out in front of the firing squad and taking this creative risk; writing flames in reviews squashes any self-confidence that any others would have regarding writing creatively. So don't do it. Remember if you don't like it, then don't read it; nobody is forcing you to read it.
From the Scrolls of Ancestors:
There are Nine Great Dragons that range in power and age; they are ranked by color to signify superiority, region and power. The Yellow Dragon is over a thousand years; it holds no symbol and is the most revered and combines all the powers in itself, making the Yellow Dragon the most powerful. The Black Dragon is a thousand years old and symbolized for the North, its powers control weather. The Red Dragon is a thousand years old and the twin of the Black Dragon with similar powers and symbolized for the West. The Three Blue Dragons are about eight hundred years old and symbolized for the East, they control the earth, water and air; they are a sign of Spring. Lastly the Three White Dragons are a thousand years old and symbolized for the South, their power is death, for death is not to be feared only respected.
For each of the Nine Great Dragons there are nine female Dragon Guardians, they are rare in birth and a bloodline of the guardians may continue without the birth of a female heir. But her role as Dragon Guardian is important because she keeps them safe and sleeping until the Dragon is needed. In return for the Dragon's safekeeping, the Guardian is granted the powers of the dragon she guards.
Dragon Guardians do not come into themselves until they are of age, yet there are exceptions to the rule if the Guardian's life is in danger before she comes into herself. At these times, her charge will be the Yellow Dragon for s/he will come to the girl itself and save her with a brand from its tongue.
That's it for the prologue, should I continue? Feedback is always welcomed if you think it'll make the story better.
