AN: While I realize this is flawed compared to the later books in the Guardian series (Errors of Dragons being the latest) I have decided to put this up simply to have a complete internet detail of the saga. This is by no means the best I can write, if you need proof check out the later books in the series.
Chapter 1- Shadows of Night
In the middle of night, there sits a person, wrapped in a green cloak, watching a human sleep. The sleeping one's name is Tronay Netika and how she is here is very simple. Tronay was born in Atlantis and when she was twenty the Orichalcos stones rained down upon paradise. She was and is Dartz's cousin and after the Battle of Atlantis, Dartz captured Tronay's soul. After her spirit returned, after being locked away for ten thousand years, Tronay encountered a red dragon and found out her name.
Then, several days later, she found out that the red dragon who had told Tronay her name was her Guardian Dragon, Uria. A few days after that she met someone, who had not told her his name yet. Now under the night sky that same person sat watching Tronay sleep.
You have no idea of the dangers that await you Tronay and the battles you must face alone. Only you can save our world and the Dominion of the Beasts from falling into complete darkness. Destiny has already chosen the events that you must face, the person thinks as he looks at Tronay.
He looks up at the sky. Suddenly a white dragon shows up and lays down next to him.
Master does the moon looks the same as it did in Atlantis? The dragon asks.
I'm not sure Mirage, but as long as we protect Tronay then maybe she won't know . . . the person says to the dragon through the bond that binds Guardian Dragons to their human partners.
I hope that she never will have to find out Master, Mirage says.
As do I Mirage, the person says.
The person looks at Tronay for a moment then gets to his feet and starts walking away.
Mirage come! The person says.
Mirage gets to his feet and opens his white wings, then follows the human.
Master where are we going? Mirage asks.
The human stops and turns to face his dragon.
Are you saying you don't trust me Mirage? Is that why you have been so cautious around me lately? The human asks.
Yes Master, Mirage replies.
The two begin to walk again. Finally the sun starts to rise, bathing the ground with sunlight. The person looks up at the sky, not realizing that a creature is following them. Suddenly Mirage snarls and pushes his master out of the way of an oncoming attack.
Why did you do that? The human snaps at Mirage.
Mirage turns around to face the creature that has been following them.
That's why Master, Mirage says.
The creature attacks again with a blast of water. Mirage shields the person from the attack with a skillful Light Burst. Suddenly a Snow Leopard appears beside the creature that attacked them.
"I'm so sorry about that it's just that we thought that you two were intruders . . ."
She pauses looking at the person.
"Santerous, is that you?" She asks.
"Correct Sundar. I had to take cover so that I wouldn't reveal myself to Tronay quite yet," Santerous says.
So how is she Santerous? The dragon beside Sundar asks.
"Tronay is doing well. How about you Aurora?" Santerous asks.
"She is doing fine Santerous. In fact I think that she might stand a chance against you and Mirage this time, " Sundar says.
"Are you sure Sundar?" Santerous asks.
"Yes I am Santerous," Sundar says. "Now get ready!"
So the two dragons battle each other for fun. Aurora almost would have won the battle if Mirage hadn't shot her thirty feet into the air with a Light Blast. "Oh well we tried," Sundar says.
So the four of them start to walk back to where Tronay is.
"Sundar do you think I should tell Tronay now or wait longer?" Santerous asks.
"I guess it's up to you Santerous. I don't know the right answer anyway," Sundar replies.
Aurora and Mirage take to the sky, finally getting a chance to open their wings all the way.
"Santerous don't feel bad I'll help you if you want to explain to . . ." Sundar begins but is cut short.
"Thank you Sundar but I can handle this on my own," Santerous says, walking off.
Mirage stops for a second then follows Santerous.
Something is wrong with Santerous, Mirage thinks to himself. He's acting stranger than usual and his eyes give me no clue as to what his thoughts are.
As Santerous walks along he reaches some sort of cave. He enters and comes face-to-face with an ancient evil white dragon known as Nor'ac. Nor'ac growls as he approaches Santerous.
Long time no see Santerous, Nor'ac hums.
Santerous begins to panic. This is the dragon that was . . . His thoughts are interrupted by Mirage's snarling.
Leave my master alone Nor'ac! Mirage snarls.
Well aren't you the brave one, defending your master from his fate, Nor'ac snorts.
Leave now! Mirage screams, his purple eyes blazing with hatred.
Nor'ac snorts and vanishes before their eyes.
He shouldn't bother you for a while master, Mirage says.
Thank you Mirage, Santerous says.
With that Santerous jumps onto his dragon's back and Mirage leaps into the air . . .
Mirage and Santerous meet up with Sundar, Aurora, and Tronay just before sunset. Mirage glides to the ground and Santerous jumps off his back.
"We were worried about . . ." Sundar begins but is cut off when Mirage growls at her.
What's gotten into him? Aurora asks.
I don't know Aurora but I think it has something to do with Santerous and why they have been gone for so long, a red dragon says from behind Tronay.
Uria, Aurora says turning around to face Uria, Tronay's Guardian Dragon.
Santerous walks off. After walking for a while he arrives in a forest. Santerous finds a fallen log and sits down. After a few moments a bird-like creature appears beside him.
Master do not blame yourself. After all you didn't know that the Light of Destruction energy was around that last pillar in the Guardian Chamber, the bird-like creature says to Santerous.
Santerous raises his head and turns to face the bird-like creature.
Eatos don't you think that I realize that same fact every day? Santerous asks.
Yes Master it's just that I was trying to give you some encouraging words . . .
I see that Eatos but those words are not helping and are needless to be spoken to me, Santerous says, turning back around.
Santerous gets up off the log and walks back to where the others are; Eatos follows him. Mirage is the first one to see Santerous and Eatos. Mirage quickly informs Sundar who motions for Tronay to come and speak with her.
"Tronay I believe that Santerous wishes to speak with you," Sundar says.
"Very well," Tronay replies walking over to where Santerous is.
"What do you want Santerous?" Tronay asks once she's over there.
"You might not understand all of this information at first, but you will need to know all of it that I'm about to tell you if you are to even last a second against one of the strongest forces in the whole world. Just two years before you were born, I was taken over by a powerful force called the Light of Destruction. Its energy much more powerful than you, or anyone, could ever imagine," Santerous says to Tronay.
"Okay I think I get all that," Tronay says.
Good because when the time comes you will need to use that knowledge to save the world from Nor'ac, Santerous thinks.
Later that night as Santerous sleeps, the three crystals that he keeps with him begin to float in the air. Suddenly they turn into three glowing orbs of three different colors. The white orb goes to Tronay, the red orb goes to Dartz, and the blue orb goes to Sundar.
