Chapter 1
A Story Never Told
I am sure that no story is ever complete without a beginning. I know that I should start there, but I am afraid that I cannot just yet...there is something much more important to talk about first; something that I feel must say.
Wait a minute...who am I? And just what am I getting into? Well, I am sorry to say that cannot go there yet either...in fact, to start this off, I will have to go far back in time, far before the beginning...
In a very faraway galaxy during a long forgotten time, there lived an evil wizard known as Nightmare, who was created by a brutally evil dark force that wanted to trap everything in an endless age of darkness and hate. Nightmare was created as an "Emperor of Darkness" to help this force, and agreed to do so by attempting to take control over the entire universe. This would make it much easier for the darkness to take over everything. To achieve this, Nightmare built his very own planet-sized company that he called Nightmare Enterprises, along with thousands upon thousands of demonic monsters to defend it and take over other parts of the universe. Nightmare felt that he was unbeatable.
However, there were also three magical creatures that have existed long before this whole brutal force; triplet young sprite-like sisters under the names Chenoa, Aurora, and Rivara, who were widely spoken of in legends and known as the "Guardians of Nebula" for the fact that they wanted almost nothing but to protect the universe. They greatly appreciated practically everything in existence, and could not bear the thought of having this beauty shatter right before them. The three refused to let themselves bow down to the powerful emperor. And luckily, they were not alone. The Guardians had two loyal companions who worked with them, both of which were furious the entire force of darkness for what they had done to someone important to them both. Even further, on a faraway planet lived many brave creatures that also did not want to live under the emperor's rule, so they teamed up with the Guardians. They were trained to battle Nightmare's monsters, and called themselves Galaxy Soldiers and Star Warriors. The Guardians taught them how to craft many magical items from a mysteriously powerful energy. The warriors formed huge armies and battled the demonic beasts created by Nightmare, which over time made Nightmare furious. He soon began creating more and more powerful monsters in hopes that they could easily fight them off. But many of them were still no match for the warriors. The warriors refused to give up, and great wars raged on for thousands of years.
Nightmare eventually became truly fed up with having the Galaxy Soldiers and Star Warriors win almost every one of these battles, so he decided to create a brand new kind of monster; this one owning great power like no other before. With such incredible powers and huge amounts of strength, this beast could finish off the Galaxy Soldiers and Star Warriors, and possibly even the Guardians, in a flash! For decades Nightmare tried to create it, but none of his attempts managed to survive the creation process. Despite all of this, he continued to keep trying, and continued to fail.
Then, after countless failed attempts, a specific demon-in-creation seemed to be in very good condition and had a very high chance of being created without failure. This made the Guardians and warriors very worried; if this demon's creation was successful, all would be lost. Chenoa, Aurora, and Rivara felt that they had no choice but to put it under a special purification spell. This would drain the monster of most of its power, therefore making it much easier to defeat in battle. Many would consider this a life-risking task, but the Guardians knew many techniques that would make it at least a little easier for them.
The Guardians' two companions as well as every Galaxy Soldier and Star Warrior agreed that this might have been the best decision as it would leave little evidence…except for one. But the Guardians did not listen to him. From there, the Guardians quietly broke into Nightmare's base…and performed the spell successfully without having anyone notice. The only thing they could do now was hope for the best.
Over the next few weeks the monster went under a few small yet visible transformations as a side effect from the spell. No one at the evil company seemed to really mind this though.
The Guardians and warriors figured that they would defeat this "false demon" with little trouble and that Nightmare would completely give up on this monster afterward. But shortly after the purification was complete, one of the Guardians' companions began to regret his decision for a reason that he kept to himself. But his feelings were nothing compared to the cold, bitter hatred of the one Star Warrior who did not agree at all with this plan. Feeling deeply betrayed, this wise old warrior isolated himself from the rest of the warriors, vowing that one day he would turn this entire plan against them all…
Now let me guess...you're still drawing a blank, correct? I guess I have no choice then but to give in with this: I am not one of the Guardians of Nebula, but I was formally considered as the guardian of a world of fire, rock, and mechanics. Yes, it should be obvious now.
My name is Landia, and my guess is that many would immediately say that I have little to do with the said backstory, if anything at all. Many would also say that they know just who I am; a wise old dragon who sleeps within a volcanic land, guarding its rarest items from destruction or theft. But that is just what was told. Let me tell you the truth; anybody who says that I'm the so called "Guardian Angel" of the ruins of Halcandra who protects the most sacred treasures one could find there…certainly has no idea who I am. No idea at all. Sure, it may be hard to believe, and I sincerely apologize if I sound rude, but I speak the truth. If you really knew just who I am, you would know that I do not really live on Halcandra, that I was purposely made evil, and that I was never a guardian…or at least, I wasn't intended to be. But I will say this…I am really just a child, I have lived through many rough and tragic times, and, unlike what many probably thought before…I was always best friends with the one you thought was my great enemy.
That's right, what was told before was all a lie, only to make me and my "great enemy" sound evil.
And the truth was a story never told.
So you are probably wondering: But what does this have to do with this backstory? And if I am not an ancient guardian, then just who am I? What am I even talking about right now?
Well then, what if I said...that I was the failed monster.
Now does this make more sense? But even if you still think I have nothing to do with any of this, I am trying to say that I have lots to do with this; I'm not lying. You still don't fully understand me, do you? In that case, allow me to finally go to the beginning and to answer all of these questions as I tell, from all that I can remember, how I was once Nightmare's truly unsuccessful creation…how I escaped that life...how I became Halcandra's "Guardian Angel"...and how I ultimately became the one known as "a dragon by dawn."
A/N: Please note that this is my first time writing fan-fiction as well as my first time sharing my writing online. Feel free to tell me what you think, but no flames please!
