Dust: Tales of the Other World

by Light Wolf Moon

General Gaius is dead and Dust thought it was the end when he became trapped in the volcano. What he didn't expect to happen was him living through it and end up in a completely different world much like his own in a scenario similar to what he had faced. This time it is the Warmbloods that are in trouble, the Moonbloods hunting them down. How will Dust handle it this time?

1. Prologue

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DUST: AN ELYSIAN TALE! IT BELONGS TO ITS ORIGINAL OWNER!

As Dust landed the final blow on General Gaius, ending the battle between them, an explosion of magma went off behind Dust, injuring him. He blacked out for a few moments, the volcano starting to become active as the magma flowed like a raging river.

"Cassius!" General Gaius yelled.

Dust started crawling towards the ledge that he held onto. Once he reached it, he shakily held out his hand.

"You... you're not Cassius," General Gaius said as he held onto Dust's arm, looking up at him.

"Yes, I am," Dust responded, nodding his head.

"Yes... you are. But Cassius is gone now... as is the world we once loved," was the general's answer as he closed his eyes. He grabbed onto Dust's arm with his other hand and pulled himself up a litter, opening his eyes to look at Dust in the eye. "Cherish it."

With that, he threw himself off, falling into the mouth of the Everdawn Basin. Dust reached out to try and grab him, but lowered his head in defeat. He rolled over onto his back and closed his eyes.

Dust?! Dust!? Someone was calling his name. Dust opened his eyes halfway.

"Fidget! There I see him!" Ginger cried out from above at the mouth of the Everdawn Basin.

Fidget came flying over, calling, "Dust!? Dust!"

Dust was weakly pulling himself up, bracing against a rock. "Fidget, get out. Go," he said as he turned to look at her, making a 'get out of here' gesture.

Her voice trembling, she told him, "Not without you! C'mon, Dust! Get up!" She grabbed onto his cape and tried to pull him up, trying to drag him with her. "We did everything right, Dust... Everything we were supposed to do," she said, trying not to cry as she dropped his cape that she was holding.

"And sometimes that's not enough, Fidget. When the Life Thread calls-..." Dust looked away from her, closing his eyes. Fidget looked down sadly, trying her hardest not to let her tears flow. "Fidget... thank you," he told her, looking back up at her.

"Goodbye... Dust," Fidget said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Dust watched her fly out of the Everdawn basin, and saw Ginger gazing down at him sadly from the mouth. He closed his eyes as the magma flowed around him, devouring anything in its path. Then it flowed on him. Dust felt a tugging, almost like something was guiding him. His essence flew with the wind, carrying Ahrah with it.

AN: Hello everyone, this isn't my first story, but this is my first story here on FF. To be honest, I had a little bit of a hard time trying to type this part up since the scene was a little sad to not only watch but to type, too. I had to watch the ending cutscene a few times to actually get it typed. I have no idea whether I want to consider this an AU or not given the plot I have in mind, but I guess I'll see where this goes. As a heads up, it will follow a similar plot, but it will contain some original ideas. Also, my FC will be showing up in the story.

But if anyone does spot a small mistake I missed feel free to point it out. It helps me out a little when trying to make sure each chapter is grammatically correct without any spelling errors.
