A/N: Hello everyone! I know I just finished Crytopyrite, but I figured "Hey, why not start the sequel today?" So, for your reading pleasure, I bring you the first chapter of Crytopyrite: Elemental Storm! It may only be a prologue, but I think you'll like it! By the way, there's a little bit of Esperanto (Wulf's language) in the story, so whenever it appears, I will put a glossary at the end of the chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. Danny Phantom belongs to the creative genius known as Butch Hartman. I do, however, own this story and the plot.
------------------------
Somewhere in the lonely regions of Asia, a young man gazed up at the sky. It was nightfall, and he could see that the stars were beginning to light up the night sky, despite the thin clouds obscuring most of them. Running a hand through his dark brown hair, he gazed out over the horizon to see a small, triangular group of stars. One of the stars, he noted, seemed to be shining brighter than the other two.
Muttering to himself, the man waved a long wooden staff over the floor of the Observatory, making the triangle pattern he had witnessed in the sky. For just an instant, one of the triangle tips appeared to flash read and blue. A second later, the glow was gone.
"Bonan vesperon, Dimitri," a rough voice spoke from the darkness.
Startled somewhat, the young man turned around, but the gaze in his green eyes relaxed as he saw a large black wolf-like creature wearing a green shirt. "Hello Wulf," he answered quietly.
Wulf smiled at the greeting. Dimitri and Wulf had been best friends since they were young, and they always shared their secrets with each other. It helped greatly, of course, that Dimitri could understand Esperanto, which was the language that Wulf spoke. He circled around his human friend, then looked out at the stars. "Kio nova?"
Dimitri smiled, knowing that his friend was wondering what he had found. "Look," he whispered excitedly, pointing to the triangular constellation in the sky, then the pattern his staff had created on the floor.
Wulf stared intently at the single glowing point, his eyes growing wide. He looked at Dimitri, who nodded, sharing a smile with Wulf. They both knew what the strange symbol meant, of course; they had been waiting for this moment all their lives. Dimitri's father would be very pleased. "Cu li venos?" Wulf asked, eying a small engraving on the wall. The engraving portrayed a detailed picture of a boy, a few years younger than Dimitri. He looked to be a Cryto, but there was one difference. In one hand, he held the energy of ice, and in the other, fire.
Dimitri nodded. "Yes Wulf, don't worry. He will come." He looked out over the horizon, that one star seeming to shine with that strange, unearthly glow. "Soon, his coming shall be at hand."
"Sed li-" Wulf began, but Dimitri stopped him before he could continue.
"I know very well who and what he is," whispered Dimitri, his eyes turning to the engraving of the boy. "We'll just have to wait and see Wulf. Wait and see if he is the one the prophecy foretells." Gazing into the eyes of the stone carving, he repeated several lines of the ancient verse to himself:
And in the world's most darkest hour,
To him the worlds open their gate,
Primary, secondary, and spirit power,
All to help him learn his fate.

A/N: I know that that was really short, but it's just the prologue. I hoped you enjoyed it though! Read and review!
