*Authors note*
Okay, so this was a story i wrote back in 2013, almost 5 years ago. At one point i deleted it from here out of shame, but its now back up for my own amusement. I've been working on a remake of this story, one thats actually readable. Read this version at your own peril!
Chapter.1
"Come on mommy!" A young dragon shouted.
He was about ten years old, had crimson red scales and yellow eyes. His three horns were formed much like a crown. His wing membrane was dark orange color and he had a fork of two knifes on his tail tip.
He was standing at the entrance of massive cave, his great home. The cave was actually a cover. The tunnel would lead too a small, underground castle.
A few seconds later, an adult electricity dragon stepped out from the cave entrance, carying a leather ball. "Allright, allright im coming" She said. She had deep brown eyes, a blue wing membrane and a lightning shaped knife on her tail tip. Lucintra was the mother of the young Zhane.
Zhane smiled and ran too the edge of the hill. His mother threw the ball and he catched it. He then threw the ball back. And he and his mother continued like this for a few minutes. Zhane threw the ball, but was suprised when his mother didnt catch the ball. She starred blankly at something behind him. Zhane turned his head and saw a shadowy figure crawl against them.
He recognised the figure as a dragon, drapped in a cloak. He then saw a bright light before everything turned dark. He heard his mother scream and a roar. He heard something getting cut open. "Mommy!" Zhane shouted. And then the yellow eyes came out of the darkness.
Zhane woke up screaming. He was lying in his bed. The door opened and a big earth dragon stepped in. He was dark green, had blue eyes and a brown wing membrane. He had plate formed club on his tail.
"Zhane, whats wrong?" He asked.
Zhane was panting heavily, sweating. "It was that nightmare again. I keep recalling what happend back then" Zhane said, as he began to cry.
It had been five years since it had happend. It was five years ago his mother had been murdered. He never found out who did it or why. But every night he relieved the momment. After the event, he had found his mother cut open on the ground. There was no sign of the hooded dragon anywhere. After that, he ran for the nearby city Warfang for help. It was decided by the elders that he was going to live with two foster parents. It took a few days, but eventually a pair showed up and adopted him. It was Hurigan, the earth dragon and his mate Maya, a female fire dragon.
"Zhane, i know it's hard but its five years ago; you have to let go. Shes gone" Hurigan said.
"I know, but i miss her so much" Zhane said.
"Whats going on?". Maya entered the room. She was red, had pale eyes and a golden wing membrane. She had a small flame-formed feather tip on her tail. She quickly scanned the situation.
"It's that nightmare, wright?" Maya asked.
Zhane nodded blankly. Tears were still falling from his tear.
Maya sighed. "Zhane, you..."
"I have already talked with him about it. It won't help stomping it down his throath" Hurigan said.
"Like we do with the potatoes?" Maya asked. Zhane began to chuckle. "Damn those pesky potatoes" Zhane said.
Everyone laughed for a moment. Hurigan began to talk again. "Well Zhane, you better see if you can get some sleep. You are gonna start in school tommorow".
Zhane had always been educated at home, but the elders of the city had agreed that he should begin at school like everyone else.
Zhane sighed. "Thanks. And goodnight" Zhane said. "Goodnight" Hurigan and Maya said in unison. They walked out of the room and closed the door.
