Chapter One
"The stars they look so beautiful up in the black sky. I wonder what it is like to look at the planet from high above, to see the world through a bird's eyes when in flight".
"Many of the people and creatures who pass on, their souls get carried up to the skies and live in a new world. They get to see the planet from up above. But the way they should be looking at it now. It could rain sadness all over the planet. The planet is dying, it is becoming polluted and it is corrupting the lives that are in it."
"The planet's living energy source is called gold draconium. It is the purity that helps the planet and creatures to live. Without it many creatures will die and the world will become un-balanced".
"In order to help preserve this balance ancients and dragons known as star class dragons were created to help keep the planet balanced. But as through time many environmental changes began to choke the earth volcanoes, tornadoes, tidal waves, earthquakes, in order for the planet to preserve itself it created many varied forms of draconium. But when these new draconium elements were created and discovered many people and dragons fell under the influence."
"Attitudes, powers, even their looks have changed. Many of them began to create many allies and dangerous enemies; this was how the empires began to form. Soon ancients and star class dragons were becoming extinct. The priesthood tried to preserve these last few survivors, but were eventually down to the last ancient............me"
Priestess Iolene thinking and laying on an open field looking upon the dark sky the stars were shining bright and clouds could be seen far out in the distance.
"PRIESTESS IOLENE! PRIESTESS IOLENE!" As a little girl with dragon pups running with herbs in her hand approaching her with quick speed. The Priestess quickly woke up from her daydream and saw the girls coming over with torches. "Girls! What are doing up this late at night?" Priestess Iolene sounding surprised "What's going on?"
"Priestess Iolene are these it?" The girls and dragon pup reveal the herbs that they are carrying in their hands and bags. "MY FATHER GOT ATACKED BY ANOTHER DRAGON! He has blood, burns and scratches all over his body!" The little girl stuttered.
"Alright let's take a look" Priestess Iolene looking the collection of herbs and grass that the dragons and the girl collected. Shuffling through the many of the herbs picking out which is good and what is bad. "You girls have learned, I'm really proud of all of you" Priestess Iolene patting and stroking each of the girls heads with her gentle warm hands. "Now may you please take me to your injured father?" Priestess Iolene requested nicely "It would be best if I saw and treated the injuries" Priestess Iolene giving kind smile to the girls.
The girl and the dragon pups looked really happy and grabbed the priestesses hand and quickly led her to the small village house where the injured patient is resting. "My father is inside, please heal him!" The little girl having tears in her eyes and opening the small flap that was used as a door, her dragon friends tried to comfort her.
A while has passed the girls and the dragons wait outside anxiously hoping that the little girl's father will be okay. Priestess Iolene arrives out with a saddened look on her face; her clothes were covered in blood. "I'm so sorry, your father died from the blood loss that was inflicted by the wounds". The little girls face burst out crying and ran straight into Iolene's arms, the dragons heads bowed down in sadness. "Then I've got nowhere to live! Other people will take the house from me" Priestess Iolene held the girl tight across her chest.
"I have an idea why don't you come live with me?" Priestess Iolene lets go of the girl and hold on to her hand. "You know I could use a helper around my home. I have a garden full of herbs and flowers and you can help me take care of injured and sick patients". Priestess Iolene trying hard to get a smile on the girls and dragon pups faces. "You can also help me with an extremely injured person whom I've been treating for quite a while now" Priestess Iolene smiling gently towards the girl "So what do you say?"
The little girl looked around at her dragon pup friends. Giving out a small smile "Alright" Moving the priestesses hands from side to side. The sunrise starts to show and the clouds seem to be getting closer.
"Let's go Amelia, Pyro, and Flamdra I'll show all of you, your new home" Priestess Iolene led them of above the meadow hillside towards her small cottage. The front of the cottage was covered in flowers and many kinds of herbs.
"Oh wow! Amelia looking surprised and amazed, LOOK AT ALL THE PRETTY FLOWERS!" She rushed of and tried to name them as much as possible. Pyro and Flamdra where running around excited, roaring chasing each other."Quiet children please, I know your excited but there patients sleeping here" Priestess Iolene walking inside her cottage.
"Oh Priestess you have returned!" One of her patients said. "You've been gone for quite a while me lady" Another patient said. Dragons cheered for her happily to be back. "Thank you all for the warm welcome "Priestess Iolene sounding astounded "Oh Priestess what you have done for us and patients before you, you are a true saint especially in these times where it is extremely tough battling dragons all day.
The injured dragons gave him an angry look and huffed at him, piercing the man's eyes with their yellow reptilian eyes.
"Well off that subject now I have three new helpers, they will help for whatever you need such as herbs and bandaging you". Priestess Iolene makes the dragon pups and the nervous girl stand in front of her. "But right now we all need a rest, girls follow me" Priestess Iolene kindly showed them their new room to sleep in.
Then out nowhere a storm began to appear the sky went completely dark, thunder crashed upon the once peaceful meadow plains and lightning was covering the sky giving a out a light show. The Priestess was standing outside her window. "Well Beau.....It looks like the storm could be approaching us quicker than I thought" Priestess Iolene slowly looking in despair. Then out from the shadows a pure black draconium dragon appeared and started to look at the storm with priestess Iolene.
"Do you think it's time yet?" Beau asking the Priestess in a worried manner "When a major storm like this usually arrives it means that something bad has happened, lots of creatures dying maybe.....
Priestess Iolene looks at Beau worryingly. "Maybe we can do something about this, But we need more help....."
