Chapter 1

Bill Cipher is a mysterious creature who comes in one shape and many sizes. Not much is known about him except that he is and inter-dimensional being. But what if this meant that there was a Bill for every dimension? This is the tale of a young Bill growing up in the land of Pyrrhia as one of the most powerful hybrids known in history.

It was the brightest night in the middle of the desert. Two dragons had just landed with and exhausted thump to rest for the night, one was black as the night sky above her and the other was a pale as the sand under his talons. The nightwing was holding a quivering silver egg in her talons, just on the verge of hatching.

"I feel so exposed out here Coyote, are you sure there are no caves or anything near here?" asked the nightwing nervously. She was whipping her head around as if she expected someone to jump out and snatch the egg right out of her talons.

"I wish there was, but the egg's about to hatch. What if it hatched while one of us was flying with it and we dropped our dragonet?" Coyote shook his head "Once he or she has hatched, then we can fly to the Claws of the Clouds mountains and hide out there. We could live there forever as a family Riddlespeaker, and never have to worry about this stupid war." he said smiling at her. Suddenly, the egg started to shake more violently until ,with an unnaturally loud crack, it burst open. Inside was a little yellow dragonet with large, slitted yellow eyes trying to get out of the egg-goop. With a squeak, he tumbled out of the shell shooting out his miniature wings for balance. The underside of his wings looked like his mothers except that there was so much silver, it looked like the Milky Way had got stuck in his wings.

"He's perfect" cooed Riddlespeaker.

"Lets call him… Cipher." said Coyote beaming at his new son.

Cipher was as yellow as the sun with a brown sandwing-like ruffle tracing his spine down to his ordinary looking tail. His wings where the wings of a nightwing and he had a spot on his chest that looked like two triangles touching. He was staring up at his parents who were smiling at him and didn't notice the other dragons sneaking up behind them. Cipher tried to squeak a warning but it was too late.

"Traitor!" the closest one yelled, slamming into Coyote "You were supposed to-" the sandwing paused to slash Coyotes snout "crush-" slash "the egg!" he roared in Coyotes face.

"Daddy!" whimpered Cipher. The second sanding had attacked Riddlespeaker, knocking her unconscious but was now circling Coyote with the other attacker. One pounced on Coyote and ,before he could do anything, stabbed him with his tail. The other was making his was towards young Cipher, getting ready to get rid of the offensive hybrid.

"Riddle!" gasped Coyote, the poison already making its way to his heart "Take Cipher! Run!" and with one last gasp he collapsed. Still reeling from the blow to her head, Riddlespeaker grabbed her dragonet and launched into the sky, her tears streamed down her face for her dead mate. The two sandwing assassins were quickly winging their way towards her. Spinning her head around, she let loose a stream a fire that caught one strait in the face causing him to spiral down to the ground. The second was still close behind but she could see mountains in the distance, just a little further and she could hide. She would be safe. Just a little further.

Thats when a blast of heat enveloped her right side, she whipped her head around to see her attacker was closer than she thought. Panicking, she dived towards the ground at breakneck speeds with the sandwing close on her tail. She just barley pulled up when she reached the ground, just feet away from crashing. She pulled her precious cargo close and whispered "I love you and I'll come back. Go to the mountains." With that she dropped her dragonet on the cold desert sands and flew away.

Little Cipher looked up at his shrinking mother and watched as she was enveloped in a ball of fire, her body plummeting to the unforgiving earth. He began to cry and pulled himself into a ball to wait out the cold desert night with the three full moons the only ones to hear him whisper his second words.

"Bye Mommy."

When he woke up he was hungry, thirsty and hot. Instinct kicked in and he started to walk. In the distance he could see a large dark smudge that swept across half the horizon. For days the young dragonet struggled towards the thing, only knowing that it had to be better than this. His wings drooped, his tail dragged and during the day it felt like his scales were about to melt off his small body. On his fourth day in the desert he ran into a tree, literally. He was so weak that it took too much energy to lift his golden yellow head so when he came to the tree he walked right into the trunk. surprised, he looked up and saw a color that he had never seen before, green. He was so absorbed in the new and strange color that he nearly screamed when a little lizard scurried over one of his talons. Without thinking, he shot out his other talon and snagged the little lizard and wasted no time in eating it even though it was still half alive. A feeling he had never felt before settled in his stomach, he wasn't hungry for the first time in his short life. Satisfied and suddenly tired, he curled up at the base of the tree to take a nap.

Is that a dragonet?

Cipher sat up with a start. There was another dragon nearby. He raised his small head to peer at the sky and spotted a multicolored dragon floating in the clouds.

It doesn't look more than a few days old… I gotta check this out. Wondering where that voice came from he looked on the other side of the tree, in the tree, and even underneath him, but there was no one else around except for the one in the sky that was steadily getting bigger. When it landed it peered at him with curiosity.

That is the weirdest looking dragon I've ever seen. He heard whipping his head around looking for the other dragon.

"What are you doing out here little one?" the strange dragon asked. Cipher was stunned. He had never seen so many colors in one place. All he could do was stare at the multicolored scales with awe as they chased each other around. Still in shock he looked up at the eyes of this new dragon and tried to squeak out some of the words he had learned in the few minutes with his parents.

"Ci-fur. Run mou-tins. Daddy… mommy, come back?" He rasped.

Wow, he's so adorable. Can't believe he can speak. At such a young age. He must be thirsty and hungry, who knows how long he's been out in this desert.

Cipher was starting to get used to the strange mystery voice that had popped up out of nowhere. The dragon scooped him up in its talons and took off towards the weird dark smudge he had been headed towards.

He is so light, I need to get some food in him now!

They spiraled down to a place that was full of the tree things that he liked very much. The dragon plucked something round and red off a tree branch and held it out to him. Hesitantly, he took a bite and then spit it out right away.

I guess he doesn't like apples, lets try a pear.

The colorful dragon walked over to another tree and pulled a weirdly shaped tan-ish fruit and, again, handed it to him and again he spit it out after the first bite. This stuff all tasted like sand!

Maybe I should try- ugh- meat. Yuck!

"Maybe I should try to get you a squirrel or something little fella… ugh, I can't believe I'm doing this." the dragon muttered at him. Setting him on the ground his colorful friend walked off to find a 'squirrel', whatever that was. Cipher decided that the other voice he was hearing was the other dragon, but he had no idea how she was talking without moving her mouth.

When she returned she had a limp, brown, furry something in one talon.

I hope he likes this

"I hope you like this" she said, handing the 'squirrel' to him. Cipher sniffed it and, finding it had a similar smell to the lizard he had, ate it right away. There was that feeling again, the absence of hunger, he decided that it was one of his favorite feelings.

They flew to a cave in the 'mountains' that had a pool a clear water in it. Cipher greedily swallowed large mouthfuls of the sweet tasting water. When he was done he curled up by his new friend.

I wonder if he has a name, maybe he knows. Seems like he understands a lot more than most weekly-olds.

"Do you-"

"Cipher" Cipher declared

"What?" asked the other dragon, confused.

"My name Ci-fur." he said again

How did he know what I was going to ask?

"Well, ok Cipher. My name is Civet. Welcome to your new home." she said smiling at him.
