Legend Of The Guardians: Kludd's Son

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Hi this is my first Legend of the Guardians Fanfic! I only read one and mostly Watch the movie of it. And I really want to make one, like a what if scenario if they did a sequel to the movie itself. But I'll try my best and please no flames and I'll only read one book of it so far, but I'll try to read book 2 and soon I did study a little of the other characters a little from its wikipedia and I memerize its names and I added a few OCs in it. So, this story of mine it will be nothing like from the books and I own nothing of the characters from Legend Of The Guardians: The Owl's of Ga'hoole movie and Books, except my OC's. So, enjoy this first Chapter. Remember, no flames. (Note: There are a few changes as you see in the past two months, that me and Shen's General deciding to changing it into Beta version just in case.)

Twas a momentous night within the crags of St. Aggies. A group of owls infamously known as 'The Pure Ones' were all gathered within the great circle before their queen, a white Tyto known as Nyra, as her egg was moments away from hatching, before the light of the lunar eclipse. Next to her was a male barn owl, who wore a blackish bronze cowl that covered his face, much similar to one that was once worn by the Pure Ones' late leader, Metal Beak. Metal Beak died in the battle of St. Aegolius about three years ago, slain by a member of their enemies, The Guardians, who went by the name of Soren. It was this owl who defeated him, killed Metal Beak, and sent all of them into hiding upon Metal Beak's demise. Nyra had tried her best to protect the remnants of her husband's army from the Guardians, while trying to devise a way to exact their vengeance upon them, but it would seem that the army was doomed to fall in all the disordered chaos. Then, a owl came to them, donning the mask that belonged to Metal Beak. This owl was none other than Kludd, an owl that she had trained to present before Metal Beak shortly before his demise, and was ironically brothers to Soren, Metal Beak's murderer, and was thought to had be dead...but sure enough, he was alive, and when he came back with that mask, it was a sign that he was meant to be the new king of the Pure Ones, and to Nyra, to be her new mate. Kludd promised that they would have their revenge against the Guardians and annihilate them and Soren once and for all. After a year or so had passed, the Pure Ones returned to the crags they once called home, and had resumed their operations like they had before, by which time, Kludd was respected deeply as their savior and king. It was not wrong before Kludd and Nyra had completed their union as husband and wife, and now, they stood idly by as their egg's hatching and the eclipse came approaching fast. As they wait, they began to discuss some matters...

"I pray that this egg shall bear us a female. A girl could be of very good use to us." Kludd said.

"Well, I hope it is a boy." Nyra said as she looked at Kludd. "A son would contribute more towards our cause, and he can become strong like you, which is befitting of an heir." She added. Kludd look at her with a faint smile. The Pure One scout was keeping check of the eclipse's coming, and noticed the moon was about to be shadowed. The scout bellowed, "It's coming!" Upon the cry of those words, a male barn owl, who was a Pure One Lieutenant, named Trevor, approached and bowed to the rulers.

"King Metal Beak, Queen Nyra, the moon is almost in alignment. It is only a matter of time before the ceremony begins." Trevor said. Kludd looked up at the moon and then nodded.

"Good." He replied to the barn owl. "Now then, how much time do we had left before our egg hatches?"

"Not long now, my lord, I'll make sure Jatt and Jutt and others are ready." With that, Trevor gave a bow as the two dismissed him. Soon, the moon was almost enveloped in darkness. During that time, their ceremony had begun as queen Nyra begins her speech.

"Pure Ones! Tonight is the night!" She echoed. "Our child is soon to be born and shall bring us to victory and vengeance against the Guardians of Ga'hoole!" The other owls cheered and chant their queen's name like they did with Metal Beak. "We've been scarred, broken, and weakened. Because of that traitorous barn owl, Soren! Because of him, we were forced into hiding, and he had taken our former king from us! But I, your queen Nyra, and my husband, Kludd, will make sure that our survival is forevermore!" She then asked. "Do you know what we strive for?"

"To rule the all owl kingdoms!" They all shouted. She smirked and then she continues on her speech.

"We will rise up from the ashes and we'll become strong and whole again. We will make the Guardians pay for our exile and we will take over all the other owl kingdoms!" They soon echoed with hoots, grows and cheering. She looked up and smiled evilly as the moon is now completely covered. Everything around the great circle had been covered with darkness. Soon, she then looked at her egg. Everyone watched it closely. With one simple crack, the egg began to hatch. Kludd and Nyra watched with great anticipation as the egg continued to hatch. Then the egg stopped cracking, ensuing in an awkward silence, as Nyra was unsure as to what was going to happen next. But then she heard a small chirp. She and Kludd went to their egg. But the egg began to crack once again prompting Kludd and Nyra to freeze as they watched the egg finally break. Soon, the lunar eclipse began to end, as the shadow disappears as soon as it had arrived. Everything was now illuminated by the moon's light, as they saw a young owlet finally coming out of it's now shattered egg. The owlet coughed as he or she soon breathed in air for the first time. Then Nyra and Kludd came closer to the owlet. The young owlet soon looked up to his/her parents as he/she was picked up by the queen. She looked at Kludd and the other Pure Ones as she address.

"It's a boy!" She yelled. Kludd's heart sank. The army cheered in joy upon the birth of their newborn prince. As the crowd cheered, Kludd look to his wife and to his son...

"What should we name him?" He asked her as the child was now sleeping. She replied "We'll name him Carlos. It's a suitable name for him."

Kludd smiled as he turned to his army, "From this day onwards, our son's name shall be Carlos Nyroc Alba! He is now a part of our family!" He added. "You shall respect him like you respect me and my wife. We all must keep him safe from the Guardians and in the ways of the Pure Ones and make him into a heir worthy of bearing the crown of the Pure Ones!" The Pure Ones cheered as he continues his own speech. "And, when the time comes, we will have our revenge against my brother, Soren and his beloved guardians!" The Pure Ones cheered once more and soon began to chant their prince's name as Kludd turned back to his sleeping child who was held in his mother's wings.

However, Kludd noticed Nyra was frowning, immediately concerning him, "What is the matter, Nyra?"

"Something is different about our child...something concerning his birth..." Nyra explained.

Kludd looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean?" He asked.

"I don't know...but when he was born within the eclipse, it seemed like he was blessed with something...something far different from the one that I was blessed with." She said.

Kludd gave a sigh, "It does not matter, dear. All I know is that he shall become a Pure One, or my name is not Kludd Alba." He then looked at the owlet, snuggling into his mother's chest feathers, "I promise you, my son...you shall grow to be strong as Metal Beak was...and not make the same mistakes my father had..."

6 years later- Age 6

The first six years of the young prince's life had flown by rather quickly. Carlos had grown quite a bit in those six years, as he is now branching, under the watchful and encouraging eyes of his mother while his father was in a military meeting. As of now, he is taking 'baby steps' as he flapped down to a nearby branch, landing safely. Nyra watched with a smile as she landed behind him.

"That is very good,Carlos. You had shown finesse in both flight and landing, you are surely on your way to becoming an accomplished flyer." She said, giving a coy smile to her son. The young owl gave a laugh as he hugged his mother.

"I did it good, didn't I, mother?" He asked her happily. She only nodded in reply. "Yes dear, you did fantastic." She said, petting her son on the back, giving him a loving smile.

3 years later- Age 9

Kludd was tending to business as he soon felt his son's presence, he and Nyra turned around to face their son, who was nervously approaching them. Kludd approached his son with a grim look.

"If you wish to say something, son, by all means, say it." He said, his tone obviously stating 'tread lightly'.

Carlos gulped to answer and he swallowed something to keep his throat dry, "Yes,"

Kludd took note of his son's fear. "You are quite wise to be trembling in my presence. Now then, is there something you want to say or is that a no?"

Carlos was not sure of what he wanted to say but he managed to gather his thoughts.

"Well...it is like this, da...I was hoping that once I become 16, I could possibly spend a year or so exploring beyond St. Aggies. Don't worry, though, I will-" Unfortunately, before he could finish, Kludd snapped at him.

"ARE YOU DAFT?! You are the prince of the Pure Ones! You cannot leave your home!" He screamed in anger, frightening his son as he took a step back.

Nyra gave her mate a glare to calm him down as she comforted her son. "Son...I know you are curious about the outside world, but this place is your home and we had promised ourselves to protect you."

Carlos is not sure about what threat or something she was referring to, "F-from whom, mommy?" He asked fearfully.

She didn't say, but she only comforted him as she held him in her embrace. "Other bad owls, honey. There are awful owls out there. They will not hesitate to hurt you, or worse..." Carlos only gasped in horror as he let his mother continued. "And if they were to learn that you are a Pure One, they will come for us, and kill us all!" Carlos was horrified! Not only are there evil owls out there, but he didn't want them to hurt his parents!

"I'm so sorry, mother, I swear I will never ask this ever again!" Carlos whimpered with a tearful sob.

Nyra shushed gently in comfort as she petted his back. "It's okay,Carlos, you're safe with us. The Pure Ones will keep you safe from harm and protect you and we will never leave your side."

With all that said, he raised his head and looked at her with a sniff, "You promise, mommy?" He asked. She nodded him,

"Promise." She smiled.

2 more years later- Age11

Carlos was now a pre-teen owl as he officially began training with his father. He wasn't so keen on fighting his father, but knowing given how bad it was to go against his wishes, he only obliged as he tried to score an attack on him...but given how he had over a decade worth of battle training under his proverbial belt, he simply dodged it as he knocked him to the ground.

"Get up, son." He ordered him, but was immediately dissatisfied as he saw his son slowly rise to his feet, already exhausted to the point of collapsing. Growing frustrated, the king quickly knocked him back down with his talon, prompting a whimper from his son (which made him more furious). "Do you know what happens to owls who are weak in the Pure One army?" He asked mockingly. Carlos only whimpered in response. Kludd only gave a growl as he let out a screech, and in matters of moments, bats began to swarm around Carlos, as they swooped down and began scratching and biting at the young prince, who only screamed in pain. Kludd grinned in satisfaction, hoping that this would serve as a lesson to his son...unfortunately for him, another screech filled the room, as Nyra quickly swooped down, scattering the bats and sending them back to their cave. She then helped her son to her feet, while giving her mate a vicious glare.

"Why on Earth were you thinking, Kludd?! He is only a child, not to mention your son!" She said angrily.

Kludd glared at her as he spat with indifference, "I was only trying to train my son in the ways of combat, but he is sorely lacking. I figured that a couple bites and scratches from the bats would toughen him up!" This only angered Nyra, as Carlos cowered behind her.

"For the love of Glaux, he is just a owlet! Did you forget the promise we made? To protect him from harm?! How is this accomplishing that?!" She asked him angrily.

The king only scoffed, "He is not a baby owlet anymore, Nyra. And no, I didn't forget our promise...but he is never going to make it in the Pure Ones if he is weak!" Nyra gave a sigh as she wrapped her wings around her child.

"This training session is over, Kludd. Let our child rest." Nyra ordered in a calm tone, not bothering to face him.

Kludd scoffed once more, as he gave his son a bitter glare, and nodded in defeat. "Fine. We can pick things up tomorrow...but remember, dear..." Saying the last word with a bit of venom, "You can't baby him forever. I am doing what is best for our son." With that said, Kludd took flight, muttering angrily as he did so, leaving his mate and son in peace.

Nyra let out a sigh as she turned to her son, "I'm so sorry, darling. I had no idea that he would resort to such awful methods in training you. I should had chosen Trevor to be your mentor." She apologized profusely.

"W-why does daddy always has to be mean to me, mommy? Why does he hate me?"Carlos whimpered, surprising Nyra with those words.

"He doesn't hate you, Carlos. He loves you...it's just...he have some problems to work out...you shouldn't take what he says personally." She tries to comfort him with her wing...but the young owl only pushed it away.

"You act like it is nothing...but problems or not...he does hate me." Carlos said angrily as he stormed off to his hollow, not bothering to look back. Nyra only sighed in defeat...

4 more years- Age 15

Carlos's birthday was approaching quickly, as he was about to turn 16. He had hoped that his 'family' would be celebrating it when the day had arrived, but whenever he tried asking about it, most of them just brushed him off, saying that 'they were too busy'. He would had asked his father, but knowing how angry he gets at times, he resorted to asking his mother, but even she was busy with military duties. When he did get responses, it was a mix of yes, no, and maybe...but regardless, when the night of his birthday had come...no one was celebrating it...they simply forgotten all about him. It hurted him that no one cared about him...and that pain lingered as he was crying in his hollow, incoherent to his surroundings as he wallowed in his misery. He was so upset that he did not hear his parents come in, and hear her mother come in and comfort him.

"I'm so sorry we didn't get a chance to celebrate your birthday, son." She said gently. "We were so busy with our meeting and…" She didn't finish the sentence, as she knew that would change nothing. She only sighed as she continued, "I'm so sorry, Carlos, I promise you, we will make up for it next year." Nyra gave his son a reassuring peck on the cheek as she left him alone. Kludd watched her pass by and faced his son. He wanted to say something, anything that would make his son feel better...but he was never good at this 'comforting thing' and he doubt that his son would want comfort from anyone, let alone him, so he just decided to leave him be for the morning. Carlos gave a sniffle as he laid down in his nest to rest. It simply became clear to him, no one cared about him. If only he could make them care about him once more, then maybe...maybe he could be happy again. He only prayed that tomorrow will be a better night, that his own family would actually care about him...if not, he could possibly find another family that did care about him, and loved him more than anyone ever could, even if he was the prince of the Pure Ones. Yes, what a glorious night that would be...it was not long before moonlight leaked into his hollow, and the prince woke up to begin the new day...

Well, whats going to happen next? I don't know, but at least I did the chapter one well. It feels like a movie when I was doing it just in case, this one is just an introduction and Beta. And thanks for reading and Review.
