Malistra's Journey A DragonFable Fanfiction

Today was the day after my sixteenth birthday, and the day I decided to leave my father's rather smelly and evil looking fortress. He was a powerful sorcerer, but I had to get a name for myself. And get away from that damn smell of rotting dead people. Yes, it is I, Malistra The Virtuous, Malistra The Great...

I introduced myself as such to the innkeeper in Battleon called Yulgar and he just laughed a little.

He said I sound like an aspiring hero, however, the Mal part of my name made him think I was probably a bandit or someone very evil. As it stood, I was rooted inbetween good and evil and was not interested in moving in either direction. I remembered this inn from when I was young, very quaint and the food was good, however, we were told not to drink the water.

That night, when I was 9, I met the love of my life while I was practicing my magic and inserting random elements into otherwise elementless swords. He told me in an oh so romantic way that I was not supposed to be inside there, but his tone changed when he saw what I did.

He called me amazing, said that I had some talent with magic and my heart was taken from that day on!!

His name was Konnan. Just thinking the name made my cheeks go red, and Yulgar asked, "What is it? Thinking of some young hero you are smitten with?"

I spun around once and said, "Of course, don't you remember from so long ago when my family came here? I snuck around back and met my boyfriend! He promised to marry me one day!"

Yulgar looked at me funny, "I remember no such vow."

I sighed, "Not you, silly! Your apprentice, you know, blond, muscles, and a smile?"

Yulgar looked either confused or somewhere between saddened and like he was pitying me. He said, "Look, young lady, bad boys are tantalizing, forbidden fruit now, but they will only be destructive to you.

I asked, intrigued as to why he said Kon-kun was bad, "Why did you say that? Did he get a tattoo without your approval?"

"No...he-"

"Did he get a piercing in the ears?"

"No...he beca-"

"Oh, I get it! He set something on fire."

"You have no idea how much of an understatement that is, do you?"

"Huh? So, he set a bonfire?"

"Think bigger."

"Accidental forest fire."

"Remove the accidental, multiply by 100, and add innocent victims."

I covered my mouth slightly, "I get it...he was possessed by an evil archdemon and then he burned down a forest full of animals...cannot get more innocent than little squirrels."

Yulgar slapped his face with his palm, and then sounded hurt, "He became Drakonnan. Surely you heard of him? Burned down a lot of Lore, killed many people, and now has gone missing."

I quaked slightly, he went...evil? Really evil. No...he had a motive. They always did. Konny was no Sepulchure or anyone like dad, I did not even want to compare my bishie to the guy who taught me a few of my most destructive spells, and especially not dad. "He must have had a reason, like he felt the world failed him, and then declined from there. He is probably moaning in pain at the base of that awful volcano, waiting for love to cure him of his evil!"

Yulgar looked frightened now, and I said, "Thanks for the information!"

I ran off, and then heard someone say, "OMG, its Malistra!"

Another said, to my annoyance, "You are kidding, right? Right? Not that Malistra!!"

A young man stood up and added, "The Dragon Destroyer!"

"The Enemy of the Living!"

"The City Blaster..."

I shouted, thoroughly pissed off, "Why does everyone remember those nicknames for me!? Don't make me Dragon Rave all of you to hell!!"

They all bowed down and started saying, "We are sorry, Miss Malistra, it won't happen again, just please don't blow up Battleon!"

Everyone had backed into a corner, well, except Yulgar, who was just standing there, looking rather unnerved. "You know...I think you and Drakonnan might be meant for each other..."

That reconciled everything. I leaped in happiness, "I knew it!" I ran out of there in a hurry, even his former master thought we were meant to be!

Author's Note: That was funner than I thought. Well, here is Malistra's Adventure, Chapter 1.
