Hi everyone this is my first solo story I usually write them along with my sister because she is a better writer than me, I have a lot of ideas I just don't know how to write them down. Please if you have ideas give them to me, and don't be afraid to give me constructive criticism.
The darkest days in dragon history, the dragon civil war. Rivers of Blood, dragon and human corpses littered the ground and the smell of death hung in the air. But war was not the only thing happening in this time. In a cave deep in the mountaintop, a dragon's egg was starting to crack and shake, two dragons' one red and one black dragon carefully watching over the egg.
"He's almost here Igneel." The black dragon said never taking her eyes off the hatching egg. Igneel the red dragon sat at the mouth of the cave looking out into the distance. Igneel the king of the dragons, he is also the leader in this insane war. "Igneel? What is wrong you look troubled?"
"It is nothing it's just…" he was interrupted by the sound of something hitting the floor, both dragons looked over to the small dragon trying to get up from where it has fallen out of its egg. The baby dragon had a red color scales its wings and tail had black tints to them. "Look Igneel come look at your son he looks just like you, I think I will name him Natsu, for being born on the summer solstice." The black dragon said grabbing the smaller dragon with her tail and pulling it closer to her body.
"Natsu you say that is a wonderful name. Natsu Dragneel the dragon prince." Igneel said moving away from the cave's opening to see his son. Just then a metal looking dragon appeared in the mouth of the cave. "IGNEEL! The enemy is approaching." Igneel turned around with a surprised look on his face. "Metalicana how close are they, how many are there," Igneel says in a frantic voice.
"About 50,000 and they are reaching the base of the mountain as we speak. My king, what do you what us to do?" Metalicana said stepping into the cave. "Dammit, this is not good. Metalicana tells the troops to prepare for battle I will be there shortly." Igneel sighed, turning around to face his mate and his newly hatched son as Metalicana flew off to do as Igneel ordered.
"Tempest stay here to look after Natsu for me," Igneel said as he turned again to leave but was stopped when Tempest put a wing around Igneel turning him around to face her. "Igneel I can help fight too."
"No, I can't allow that you need to stay here and protect our son. I will send Grandeeney to look after him but until she gets here please stay hidden and safe." Without waiting for a reply Igneel flew out of the cave to get ready for another bloodbath.
Back at the cave Tempest sat worried not only for her mate, Igneel but also for her new hatchling safety in this time of war. She was brought out of her thoughts when she sensed someone approaching.
"Grandeeney is that you?" Tempest said getting to her feet. "Oh no my queen it is not the sky dragon." A dark maroon dragon said with a mocking tone, coming out of the shadows with an evil smirk on his face. "what do you what Derolth, being a trader was not enough for you." The dark dragon now known as Derolth stepped farther into the cave. "Come now my queen no need for that. I have come for the young prince, so now hand him over and I will let you live." Derolth said letting out a small chuckle.
"No, I will not let you have him. You have to kill me to get to him." Tempest said roaring a black tornado out of her mouth before Derolth could respond. The blue dragon dodged and gave his own poisonous roar the color of deep crimson. Tempest gave out a roar of pain as the roar hit her in the leg; she gritted her teeth setting down Natsu behind her and charged the poison dragon again making sure that Derolth could not get to Natsu who was sleeping behind her. But the slightly smaller dragon got past her and grabbed the sleeping hatchling and forced his way out of the cave. the fight carried out into the open mountain air.
Another roar cut through the air as a white feathery dragon sored down and hit Derolth in the side. Making him crash into the mountainside, with a surprised whelp. "Grandeeney you came!" Tempest yelled over the cry of battle coming from farther down the mountainside.
Grandeeney snorted "Go protect your son, I will handle this." Grandeeney said not turning around to face the queen but instead charging the slightly smaller dragon. Tempest nodded and flew back to the cave. But before she could get there, she was attacked by another dragon much bigger then the last.
When the battle started widening down. a very pained roar cut through both armies. "Tempest! No" Igneel yelled recognizing the sound of his beloved mate; he flew back to where the cry came from Grandeeney started to fly in that direction too but was cut off by another attack from Derolth, Grandeeney gave out a pained hiss as blood gushed from her right shoulder and charged the dark dragon again.
Igneel and some other dragons found Tempest's bloody body on the ground on top of the mountain, Natsu still asleep in the folds of her wing he had a small cut on the side of his neck that was slowly leaking out blood. A human a dragon slayer stood over her as well as another dragon, cuts and burses littering both their bodies as well a shadow crossing the humans blood stand to face. The human gathered magic power in his right hand to deliver the final blow to the down storm dragon. A fiery inferno illumined the night sky and incinerated the dragon slayer and the unnamed dragon before they could block or dodge. Igneel did not give the dead human or dragon a second thought as he flew over to his mate and son.
"Get Grandeeney over here now!" Igneel demanded to Metalicana, who nodded and flew off. He turned to face his dying mate as she uncovered Natsu and held him for Igneel to take.
"Igneel please take care of Natsu for me make sure he grows up big and strong like you." She took in a labored breath.
"Please, Tempest save your strength Grandeeney should be here soon," Igneel said worried lased in his voice.
"no, I am not going to make it Igneel, I regret that I will not get to see him grow up to be the dragon prince I know he will be. Please watch over him and protect him." She said as she took her last breath. Smiled and closed her eyes, her life leaving her body. Igneel's angered roar reached everyone's mournful ears of the dragons and dragon slayers alike in this silent night.
For this night they had lost their Queen.
