Seeking Her Guidance

As he walked through the Forbidden Plain, he noticed that carcass and skeletons littered the ground. Bending down he picked up a stuffed animal from a dead human child, it was a teddy bear. The sands blew into his mask, marked by deep scratches from his past. Standing up he dropped the bear, and puffed out his chest. Scars marked his chest like someone had whipped him. He scanned the plain in hopes of finding the one he was searching, it's been ages since he last seen her, let alone hear her.

He was a Yautja and he was seeking her guidance.

He crossed the plain in hopes of seeing the trees, the oasis of trees that no one has seen in ages. They say that she resides in an ivory castle surrounded by an oasis of dark blue trees with purple leaves. He needed her guidance; he sought a way to bring himself to realize that he is a warrior.

A few Hujtis, a weird crossing of gargoyle and Pegasus, they soar the skies like vultures. The blood thirsty creatures are the reason why no one has ever made it to the oasis. Immune to light unlike their gargoyle cousins, their skin the color of grey blood and smoke white. Their four wings of flesh and talon, they were like gargoyles with pegasus torso.

He kept an eye on them, he knew that they were hunting or scavenging. One swooped down toward him, he dodged the foul creature and ripped of its wings. More swarmed over him, he killed them left and right. Most of them swarm over the maimed Hujtis and started to tear off its flesh.

This is getting me no where.

He drew out his whip and grabbing two Hujtis' he tied them together and rode on them. They flew up into the air; he looked around for the oasis.

Where are you?

The sky became dark of signs of a sand storm, something he didn't want to encounter. In the distance trees appeared, the purple leaves gave off their radiance, the sand storm approaching closer and closer. He forced the Hujtis' to land; he untied them and kicks them back into the air. They growl and hiss at him, which reminded him of the hard-meat.

He ran with all his might, the storm was right behind the oasis. The forest greeted him with its embrace and the storm hit. The strange thing is that the storm just rolled over and around the place, he smiled at the fact it missed him. It shows how much power she has, he looked into the forest of trees. Her beacon of light shown through, leading the way by lighting up the trees that needed following.

Miles and miles of forest, its weird inhabitants flowed through the forest. He noticed that they were gifted creatures, each with its own power and ability. He hated the fact that they were watching, but this is the first time he has seen them before. In ages past the forest wasn't this huge.

The path made of jade and silver marked the way with the trees lighting the path. These trees were called Trees of Guidance, for they guide your path. He was uneasy about seeing her, seeing her again would have to mean it was an emergency. He sighed at the fact she could kill him with a flick of her wrist or a tinkle in her eye. She was that powerful, he couldn't believe the being she was. A dragon. The Oracle Dragon, the most holy of dragons.

He paused at the sight of the ivory castle, its great size bigger than a high elder's palace. He walked out into the garden and to the door. The door over twenty feet tall and twenty feet wide, he prepared to knock but the door opened automatically. He readied himself but to no dangers; he entered the building and looked around. The sound of spear tapping on the ground caused him to turn with his whip at the ready. There standing before him was a dragon wearing full armor, his amber scales and mint green wings wasn't intimidating at the least. His long tail covered in spikes, a pale blue mane ran down his head and back.

"I am Ruah, guardian of Oracle. What brings you here mortal?"

His voice deep and threatening, he stood over twelve feet tall but can be even bigger if he pleased.

"I am Irth, here to seek Oracle's guidance."

Ruah tapped his claw finger on his wicked spear; Irth notices a gem of amber and blue on the middle of Ruah's forehead.

"You're a Dragonian?"

Ruah looked at Irth, and swayed his tail.

"A pure bred Dragonian and a descendent of our Great Dragon King Zack, the son of Oracle."

Irth nodded his head, Ruah turned around. Irth felt intimidated by Ruah's great size, but then again would make a good trophy. But he dare not tempt to kill Ruah, or he will be the one dead. For Ruah was selected to be Oracle's guard by aggressive selection.

"Follow me mortal Irth, she knew you were coming."

After a good walk through the place, Irth was lead to the Library/Time and Space Room. Oracle sat on the ground, her scales shined heavens light, her eight wings of feather and scale white and light blue. Her eyes of a green island surround by the ocean, gazed up at the ceiling. She had her tail wrapped around herself, her mane a beautiful light green and white swayed by the gentle breeze that blew from outside. Her gem of bloody purple marked by neon blue and neon green, light shimmered off it.

Irth remembers her well, still beautiful and immortal. Many would say she was a Dragon Goddess or an angel. But to Irth, she was beauty redefined. Oracle was used to that fact, but she already has a loved one, sadly he passed years before during a great war. Irth looked up at the ceiling to see the universe, which of course startled him. There is no way to do that but Oracle has the power to do so.

Ruah walked over to the door and stood there swaying his mighty tail.

"Oracle, it's been years."

"Forty years Irth son of Ifrit. Has not the power of fire I gave you enough? Your new name means fire in Dragonian, and your father's name means fire in another. What do you seek this time, young Irth?"

Irth remembers that day well, when she gave him the gift of fire. He held his whip firm and fire began to emit from it. The whip was made from the Fire Dragon's own mane, gives the weilder the power over fire, plus if the whip is used by another it will harm them until it is given back to the owner. The whip is special, it not only looked cool but it made Irth's eyes look like fire, after all his eyes are flame red!

Oracle smiles, he has grown use to it. Has it been only forty years?

Oracle slowly got up to her feet; she tucked her wings under her scales and approached Irth. She was taller than Ruah and more powerful. She place her clawed hand gently on Irth's shoulder, she retracted her claws and then gently brushed Irth dreadlocks.

"There a things about your race that I like. You're honorable and brave like us dragons, you have technology as do we but we have the power of the elements. You are seeking me for a reason, what is it?"

Irth looked down at the ground; he didn't know how to put it to her.

"Well Oracle, it's that I seek someone worthy."

"You're still young Irth, but I might know where to look."

She walked away from him and gazed into the universe, all the stars moved and the showed a planet.

"On this planet is where you'll find your answer. But be wary, many Bad Blood are on the loose there."

Irth looked up at the planet and gazed at it thoroughly. Bad Blood? Worthy trophies for him.

"On this planet you will meet someone named Hahli. You must act aggressive to her, as you always are aggressive but today you seem to be kind. Is it because of me Irth?"

"Yes, I want your approval and guidance. I figured the only way as to be nice and polite."

Oracle began to giggle, she looked at Irth and her expression made him smile.

"Don't worry young Irth, you're always welcomed here when ever you want. Be careful on your journey there, Ruah will take you to the portal that leads back to your ship."

Irth bowed his head and truned to leave.

"And Irth…"

Irth glanced back at her.

"Hahli is different, be careful and take down as many Bad Blood as possible. Even if it means to use your gift of fire, when they burn savor it, the Fire Dragon Izlude has given you his great gift. Use it wisely young Irth."

"I will Oracle; by the power of fire I will use it if needed. Thank you again."

Irth followed Ruah outside to the garden and opened a portal.

"Enter it Irth, may Oracle's grace bless you and your travels."

Irth entered the portal and ended up back at his silver and flame red ship. He called it Fire Master.

"Hahli? I wonder who she is."
