Amulets of the Dragons
Part One: The Amulet of Laekaveth
Prologue
For hundreds of years, the humans, ghosts, and dragons lived in relative peace. The humans and ghosts had many quarrels amongst themselves, but neither knew that the other existed while the dragons guarded the few portals between the two sides. Then, the dragons were discovered in both worlds simultaneously. Within a few short years, the dragons were almost completely wiped out, labeled as monsters in both realms. Portals were left open, allowing the ghosts and humans entrance to each other's realms. Chaos ensued.
The dragons, by that time, were all but gone. A mere six of them remained. They met within the ghost realm to try and find a solution to their problem and stop the madness, but they were ambushed by the self appointed king of the ghost realm, Pariah Dark. Instead of exterminating the dragons, he recognized them as beasts of power and made them less than ghosts, putting their souls within a crystal and harnessing their combined power to increase his own.
The crystal was stolen by a band of strong and intelligent renegade ghosts that used the power within the crystal with their own to overthrow the dark lord and encase him within the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep. After the fall of Pariah, the ghosts attempted freeing the dragons, but it was too late. They had no real or spectral bodies of their own. Instead, the dragons asked for a favor from the ghosts. They wanted the portals to be closed, a feat that could be accomplished with the help of the renegades, and to be bound separately into their own amulets.
The dragon's wishes were honored, the portals closed and the amulets made. One of the dragons, however, did not fully agree with the others. In secret, he asked the ghost Clockwork, a ghost among the renegades that had control over time, to bind him to someone in the future who would be powerful. Clockwork did as he was asked, but immediately recognized the dragon as one of the malicious Dragons of Darkness, and saw that in the future the dragon would use his new master to take over both worlds. He secretly did the same with the rest of the dragons, each being linked in the future to a human, ghost, or both.
As had been planned, the amulets were hidden throughout the ghost and human realm in order to keep any one being from finding them all with the portals closed. Clockwork kept the secret of what he had done, and for hundreds more years the amulets were left in peace. Until the first amulet holder found what he was looking for…
A figure wore a long cloak, hiding their face and body. They slowly floated forward and inside a tiny shack in the ghost realm, now called the Ghost Zone.
The room within was completely empty. The ghost passed through, floating forward to the opposite wall. An intricately decorated door appeared, and creaked open, revealing a flight of winding stairs down into darkness. The figure floated to the bottom.
Another door was there, this one a plain door. It, too, opened without being touched, revealing a black void within. Floating in the middle of the void was a single amulet, a black one. It absorbed the little light that came through the open door.
A black-gloved hand grasped the black amulet, the Amulet of Levian. From the amulet came tendrils of darkness, flowing out and molding together into a dragon. The dragon was as black as his amulet and named the same. Levian was the last Dragon of Darkness and the only one of the six dragons that had willingly worked for Pariah. It looked for the entire world like a giant snake with leathery wings, piercing red eyes glaring at the ghost.
"Who isssss it that hassss dissssturbed me?" He hissed. The man lowered his hood, revealing equally red eyes. The ghost's skin was a pasty blue color, black hair curving upward into two horn shapes. Sharp white teeth glittered in his smile.
"It is your master, Levian. I am Vlad Plasmius here in the Ghost Zone, Vlad Masters in the Human Realm." The dragon hissed in amusement, forked tongue flicking in and out of its mouth.
"The ghosssst Clockwork was truthful. My new massssster would be powerful, more powerful even than Pariah. That he would be half ghossssst!"
"Pariah?" Vlad said nervously. "He doesn't have to be involved in this, does he?"
"No," Levian replied. "Ssssoon, Master, with my help, you can beat even Pariah. Even the massster of my dear friend Zapiasss, the lasssst remaining Dragon of Light, ssleeping within his amulet."
"And who might that be?" Vlad asked, suddenly curious.
"Who elssse besssides you isss half ghosst?" Levian asked.
Well, that's all! I hope you liked it! Don't forget to R&R!
