So i took a little inspiration from Lightning striking which is a really good story btw. I was planning to change Jack's name very early on because it's overused as fuck. This is my first time writing something else than legends of Spyro and i haven't read the WOF books either so all i know about the lore is what i have been researching so no flames if i get something wrong. And a few things i want to say is that i actually have autism in real life and i wanted to write a character who is a bit different than most others
Jack was around seventeen years old. He liked working on cars, playing video games and jumping on the trampoline. He was also born with autism which made things like school much harder for him. He had often had a hard time being social so he didn't have that many friends. He had gotten a few friends playing some video games. But that was unimportant right now. He was on his way home and decided to take his route through the forest which was near his house.
He often used this route to get home faster so he could work on his car which he was going to drive when he became eighteen. it was a BMW 520i. a pretty normal car in Norway. Nothing too special about it. But this time walking home was different. The forest felt odd and not right in a way.
Jack just continued to walk like there was nothing wrong.
He looked around himself while he was walking. The forest felt darker. Suddenly he started to fall like he had jumped through a hole in the ground.
He landed on his face. The room he was in was dark. ''Okay what is going on? And why the fuck is there a giant ass hole in the middle of the road?'' Asked Jack.
He walked around in the room, torches suddenly lit up and He was surprised to see statues of dragons. He counted them all. seven, seven dragon statues.
''When the war has lasted twenty years
the dragonets will come.
When the land is soaked in blood and tears
the dragonets will come. Find the SeaWing egg of deepest blue
Wings of night shall come to you.
The largest egg in mountain high
will give to you the wings of sky.
For wings of earth, search through the mud
or an egg the color of dragon blood.
And hidden alone from the rival queens,
the SandWing egg awaits unseen.
Of three queens who blister and blaze and burn,
two shall die and one shall learn
if she bows to a fate that is stronger and higher,
she'll have the power of wings of fire.
Five eggs to hatch on brightest night,
Five dragons born to end the fight.
Darkness will rise to bring the light.
The dragonets are coming'' Said a female voice. ''You are a lucky human Jack. We think you are the only human fit to help the dragonet's. But we have to transform you to a dragon for your own safety. You will not survive if we don't do it.''
Jack was in shock. ''Wait wait wait. Do i even have a choice?''
The female voice spoke again. ''We are afraid not. Sorry. But you are needed. The dragonet's of the prophecy is in great danger and you are the only one that can help them.''
Jack nodded silently. ''I'll do it. I will help the dragonet's.''
''We knew you would help. Now let's get you there shall we?'' Asked the female voice.
Jack felt uneasy. ''Where am i going exactly?''
''To the sky kingdom, where you will be captured and then meet with the dragonets. We have seen all the possible results and you and the dragonet's escape in most of them.'' Answered the voice.
'Great' thought Jack as he rolled his eyes.
Jack then started to feel a great amount of pain all over his body. He was screaming in agony and his body could not take it and he blacked out.
He was in a different place when he woke up. It was mountains there and a giant forest. He saw a road. 'Maybe if i follow the road. Then i might end up in the sky kingdom.' thought Jack. He started to follow the road until he met two red dragons with giant wings. ''Halt nightwing!'' Said the guard dragon
'nightwing?' Thought Jack he looked all over his body. It was all black and the wing membranes had stars all over them. He did also have a tail blade. 'Wonder why i have a tail blade? Those two dragons don't have one on their tails.' Thought Jack.
''Didn't you hear me Nightwing?'' Said the guard that had told him a few seconds ago.
''Huh?'' Asked Jack. ''No sorry i didn't hear you. What did you say?''
''No more games! You are coming with us. Scarlet might want another Nightwing to fight in the arena.'' Said the guard.
Jack got hit in the head by one of the guards tails hard before he could react.
Jack was in a cage when he woke up again. The room was very open. he saw a throne when he looked around as well. 'Must be the throne room.' Thought Jack. Jack spotted another dragonet in the cage as well. she was not awake that was for sure. He looked closer she was breathing at least.
The doors to the throne room opened and through the door came a red dragon that might the one the guards called scarlet. She came storming towards the cage. ''Ah i see you are finally awake.'' Said Scarlet.
Jack growled. ''Wasn't a very pleasant sleep either.''
Scarlet didn't seem to care at all. ''I am going to give you away to princess Burn as a gift. She likes to slaughter unusual dragons such as yourself and place them on the wall as trophies. The same goes for that sandwing there. She doesn't have a poisonous tail bard like all other sandwings. And you look like you are a Nightwing-sandwing hybrid as well but your mother must have been a nightwing and your father a sandwing. Tell me what is your name?''
'Oh shit what is my dragon name? Fuck. Wait i got an idea.' Thought Jack
''Well? Are you going to answer?'' Asked Scarlet.
''Dusk.'' Answered Jack.
Scarlet started to laugh. ''I am going to ask Burn to let me watch as she slowly kills you. Oh yes that would be thrilling.''
Dusk/Jack just growled.
And that was the last he saw of Scarlet and her guards for a while since they were going to watch dragons get killed in the arena.
''When did you get in here?'' asked a voice behind Jack. Jack turned around to find the sandwing dragonet up and stretching.
''Must have been a few hours ago.'' answered Jack.
''Me and my friends have been captured here for over two weeks. We were on our way to the sea kingdom but got captured when we were flying over the Sky Kingdom.'' Said the sandwing.
Jack nodded. ''I never got your name either.''
''It's sunny.'' Answered Sunny.
Jack nodded again ''My name is Dusk.''
Sunny soon saw Dusk's tail barb. ''So you are a hybrid as well?'' asked Sunny.
Dusk looked confused but then remembered. ''Oh, yeah that's what Scarlet said atleast.''
Jack wasn't the best to keep secret's so he decided to just drop the act. ''Okay Sunny i have something i gotta tell. My name is actually Jack and i was sent to help you guys with the prophecy. I am actually not a born dragon either. I am what we in my world call human's.''
Sunny looked confused, scared and thoughtful at the same time trying to register everything Dusk had said. ''So wait you are not a real dragon but a transformed scavenger? And you said your real name is Jack? And you said you were sent to help us with the prophecy?''
Dusk just nodded. ''I don't like to lie in front of people. But can you please not tell the other dragonet's before i say i am ready to tell them?''
Sunny nodded. ''Sure but i don't like to lie in front of people either but if it needs to stay between us then i will keep the secret.''
''Thanks. You are a very friendly dragonet you know that?'' Said Dusk.
''I know, the others think that too. I always try to stay positive and happy.'' Said Sunny
Dusk nodded. 'I think i have just made a new friend. Heck, i might have made a new best friend.' Thought Dusk.
''What's the deal with this war?'' Asked Dusk.
''It started twenty years ago when the sandwing queen Oasis was assassinated. She had three daughters Blaze, Burn and Blister. It was fighting over the throne and they quickly got the other tribes into the war as well. That's how it started atleast.''
''Well it's nice to know the background of this war and how it started. But we gotta find a way to get out of here. We won't come far if we don't.'' Said Dusk.
Sunny nodded ''I haven't seen the others in over two weeks and i am getting sick of this cage.''
