Hey! So a few months ago, I got into DBZ again! I know, I'm a horrible person for not watching it in the first place. Anyways, like the loser I am, I started to read the fanfiction for it! XD Yeah...so I might have a tiny little fangirl crush on a certain Saiyan prince at the moment but I'm sure it'll pass...maybe...

Anyways, I'm a mad genius who thought of the plot, DBZ and it's context are not mine, sadly. No matter how many times I wish, alas they do not belong to me. Go easy on my folks, I know not much of this show...Read and Review. :)

The Dragon Keepers are charged with the task of protecting the dragons, Porunga and Shenron, and the Dragon Balls. Each Keeper has been different, depending on their personality and Elemental nature; they have even been different species and gender. There have been many Dragon Keepers, for just as long as there have been dragons in existence anywhere. They are hand chosen by the dragons and are entrusted with their language and culture. The first Keeper from Earth was Jonathan Danger, who was the oldest Keeper to have lived; others have been killed in battle fought to protect the dragons and their powers. Keepers don't normally have children, which is what makes this tale so peculiar.

OoOoO

The young woman stood in front of the green dragon with the confidence she had learned long ago was needed in order to speak to the serpent. Her daughter was sleeping on her hip, the child's gentle face resting on her shoulder. The innocence written within the softness of her features had Rosalina all the more sure in her decision. The winds came up into the shelter of the balcony and with it came a white haired man with icy blue eyes that seemed to pierce through Rosa's soul. Her emerald gaze looked him up and down, "Forgive me for bringing you out of your retirement, John." She smiled and the two embraced. The old master chuckled, "There is no need to apologize, Danthe ir (Dear One). What is an old man supposed to do in retirement anyway? Besides, I wouldn't get to see this Tiecelle (Sunshine)." He gently lifted the girl out of her mother's arms, "She's beautiful, just like her Dask (Mother)." John said and handed the child back to Rosalina, who had finished making her wish to the Eternal dragon.

The dragon stared at its Keeper with sad eyes, "Are you certain, Flame Dragon Keeper? The child will have little to no memory of you or anyone else once this is complete." His red eyes shifted to the small girl in the young woman's arms, snoozing away while her future was being decided. The woman looked up, her long auburn hair blowing in an unseen wind, burning emerald orbs bright with tears, "It's better that she doesn't remember…that monster and her life here." Her voice was heavy with tears and the girl's father stepped forward to comfort the young Keeper, "Bardock will take her back to planet Vegeta to raise her with others of her kind. I will give my inner flame, my life force, to make my daughter a pureblooded Saiyan, Great Eternal Dragon, Shenron." Her voice was now stronger and authoritative as she made her proclamation to the dragon, who just looked at her with saddened crimson eyes as she gently shifted the girl onto her other hip. The toddler stayed asleep, her own auburn hair swaying in the breeze and her tail curled around her waist as if to prove her lineage.

With the burning persistent gaze that his Keeper was giving him, Shenron sighed, if dragons could sigh, and called out to the other side of the room, "Jonathan Danger, Frost Dragon Keeper, do you accept the terms that, once again, bind you to the position of the Dragon Keeper?" The white haired man stepped forward, his ice blue eyes scanning the scene before him, "Axun (yes), Shenron." His voice sounded ancient, yet he looked like he was the same age as Rosalina.

The Eternal dragon glanced back at his Keeper, "Rosalina Dragonia, I will grant this wish, you have until dawn to say your final farewells." The woman bowed and thanked the dragon for his kindness. She shifted the toddler on her hip and silently left the room, the two men trailing behind. The dragon sighed again, smoke trailing out of his snout. He hoped he would see the young Dragonian again, the small girl had taken quite a fancy to him and he hadn't exactly minded having her around. The daughter of his Dragon Keeper, Myrina Dragonia. The dragon disappeared into a vapor, leaving the wish until daybreak so the mother and daughter could say their goodbyes.

OoOoO

With the four-year-old in bed, Rosa paced a trail through the carpet in the sitting room of the Keeper's apartment. The couple hadn't said a word since the meeting with the dragon. John had left shortly afterwards, saying that the two needed their time. The pacing woman seemed to make the Saiyan uncomfortable, "Rosa, you can't keep beating yourself up about this, it wasn't your fault." The man tried to reason with the Flame Keeper, who spun around to retort, "The hell it's not! I turned my back for a minute and then she was gone! If I hadn't let go of her hand then, that monster wouldn't hav-" She broke into sobs and Bardock cradled her, allowing her to cry into his chest, "But he's gone now, we didn't let anything happen to her. We got there just in time, our daughter is safe." He kissed her hair and she looked up with a tear-stained face, "Thank you." She said and kissed his cheek, giggling as his face turned pink.

There was a pitter-patter of footsteps on the wooden floor and the hall door creaked open, "Papa!" Bright green eyes quickly found her father and then a flash of red was tackling the poor Saiyan man, "Hey, Princess!" Bardock lifted his daughter into his arms and nuzzled noses in greeting. She giggled and her small fingers found his hair, tugging gently. He extracted his hair from her grasp, "You've gotten stronger, what has your mother been feeding you?" The only response was a playful slap on the shoulder that Rosa issued. Myrina giggled at her mother's antics and wiggled out of her father's arms, swooping to the ceiling and hovering there. To say that the man was surprised was an understatement; his shocked face went from his floating child to the Dragon Keeper beside him. Rosa looked at him in amusement, "What mother would I be if I didn't teach my own daughter how to fly?" She flashed a smile before looking at the horizon; it would only be a few hours until dawn.

A small yawn interrupted her thoughts and the girl was floating down into her father's arms, "Myrina, momma has something she wants to give you." Rosa tried to keep the heaviness of her tears out of her voice but her daughter sensed her distress, "Momma? What's wrong? Papa, why is momma crying? Are you gonna leave again?" The girl's own emerald eyes filled with tears that threatened to fall. 'If only she knew who was really leaving her…' Bardock sighed and placed her on the ground, gently nudging her towards her mother, "I'll be right outside, princess, I won't leave. Go to your mother." His smile seemed to reassure the girl and she gripped Rosa's outstretched hand, watching as her father walked outside. Rosalina knelt down and tucked a strand of orange hair behind her daughter's ear, "Myrina, if you ever remember anything that I tell you, please let it be this." She smiled and unclasped her dragon necklace, tying it around Myrina's neck, "Take my amulet, it will protect you and give you some light against the shadows at night." The girl nodded and wrapped her small fingers around the stone necklace. Rosa fished in her pocket for a minute before producing a small gold ring. The band was simple, gold with three marks written in Draconic etched into the soft metal, "Give this to someone you really care about, then it will protect them always." Rosa placed the band on a thick chain and then pressed into the girl's small hand.

Rosalina smiled sadly and kissed her daughter's forehead, "I will love you forever and always." She murmured and Myrina grinned widely up at her mother and kissed her cheek, "I love you too, momma!" The girl yawned loudly making Rosa chuckle, "Let's get you back to bed." She lifted the small child onto her hip and turned into the hall, "Papa, are you going to help me put Myra to bed?" The Keeper called as she nudged the door to their daughter's room open, the black haired man behind them. He pulled back the sheets for her as the girl was settled into bed, before tucking her in himself. "Goodnight momma, goodnight papa." Myrina yawned and snuggled deeper into her polka dotted bed spread. Bardock kissed her forehead, "Goodnight, Princess. I'll see you in the morning." Rosa did the same, her kiss lingering a little longer, "Good night, danthe ir (dear one)." Just as the couple was about to leave, Myra tugged at her mother's shirt, "Dask, geou wux sing ekes ve (Mother, will you sing for me)?" Rosa smiled and felt pride swell in her chest at the ease in which her daughter used Draconic, "Axun, Sia Tiecelle (Yes, my sunshine)." She sat on the edge of the bed and caressed Myra's hair softly,

"You are my Sunshine
My only Sunshine
You make me happy
When the skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
So please don't take
My Sunshine
Away."

Rosalina took a shaky breath and tucked stray locks of auburn hair behind Myrina's ear as the girls' eyes fluttered shut. For the last time, she kissed her daughter's forehead and then left the room, shutting the door softly behind her. Sobs racked her body as she slid down the wall and curled into herself, 'What have I done? I saved my daughter by taking her mother away from her; to make her a pureblooded Saiyan, to protect her from the evils of my world, of Earth.' Her heart pounded painfully in her chest and she felt as if someone was slowly ripping it out and crushing it between their fingers. Her breath came in short spurts and her lungs felt as if they were going to explode from the sorrow. This was the state that Bardock found her in. He made almost no move to comfort her but lifted her into his arms and walked to the balcony to watch the sun rise over the mountain range below.

"This is what's best for her, Rosa." His deep voice spoke, bringing the young Dragon Keeper out of her hysterical state. She took a deep breath and placed her palm on his face, "I know, but that won't change the fact that I'm going to miss her. I won't be able to hold my baby girl in my arms again. I'll miss her growing up and becoming a Keeper herself." Her form began to fade, the hand on his cheek becoming translucent, "Bardock, you must protect my little girl! No matter what!"

OoOoO

Two and half years afterwards, the planet Vegeta was destroyed by Freeza and only Nappa, Raditz, prince Vegeta and an unknown Saiyan child, that was sent to Earth prior to the explosion, survived. Jonathan Danger revived the prior Dragon Keeper's daughter and raised her as his own, training her in the duties of a Keeper and how to properly use her powers. All was well for 20 years, until the remaining Saiyans arrived and Myrina's world came crashing down for the third time.

Wow! What an emotional roller coaster for Rosa! Poor Myrina though, she doesn't even remember her momma...or does she?

My momma used to sing that song to me when I was a kid, so its really special to me. :')

Draconic used:

Dask- Mother

Danthe ir- Dear one

Sia Tiecelle- My Sunlight (There is not really a word for sunshine so this is the next best thing :D)

Axun- yes

"Dask, geou wux Sing ekess ve?"- "Mother will you sing for me?"

"Axun, Sia Tiecelle."- "Yes, my Sunlight."
