Name: Jace Thane
Age: 3
Date Reported Missing: July 7 2005
Missing, lost, POOF gone off the face of the planet without a soul knowing where a small three year-old boy could've gone off to. Then again, maybe he wasn't lost. Perhaps kidnapped from his bed in his mom's small third story apartment. That makes sense for some. others wonder how someone could have possibly gotten into the room with closed and locked doors and windows, an awake and attentive parent. Fire escape some people would say.
Well the events of that night for little Jacey were as followed. He was having a tough time falling asleep as per usual. On the not usual side of that night was the light tapping on his window around eleven o' clock.
Being an investigative child he left the safety of his bed and moved to his window. He looked momentarily and was about to turn round until a small envelope taped to the window sill caught his eye. He opened his window just enough to slip his hand through and grab it. With glowing, wonder filled eyes he looked at the envelope.
He opened it slowly and emptied its contents, two tightly folded pieces of paper and a single match. he unfolded the first paper, inside was a circle with strange looking inscriptions that looked almost as if it was from a coloring book, and the light brown papyrus it was written on only added to the effect. The second paper was an instructional letter saying:
Lay the other piece of paper on the ground and strike the match. Lay the flame on the edge of the circle, and luck may have it you see a dragon in your near future.
Jace, at the prospect of seeing a dragon was more than excited. He did as the letter said and as soon as the flame touched the paper his room was alight in a sudden flash. And when the flash dissipated the boy was gone, the papers aflame for a moment until becoming scattered ash by the slight wind from the open window, which slid shut with a muffled thud, the movement locking it. His mother came into the room only to find her son missing without a trace.
Somewhere an immeasurable distance away a white beast with piercing yellow eyes grey flecks its scaly hide and dark grey wing tips fading to white where they connect with his body was alerted to a bright flash within his cavern like dwelling. When the light was gone all that remained was the small form of an unconscious white haired boy by the name of Jace.
The dragon, curious as to why this small human child was suddenly in his well hidden home, poke Jace softly with his talon. He stirred slowly waking, Jace blinked his eyes not taking immediate notice to the rather large dragon ahead of him. As he took in his surroundings he noticed the crescent moon shaped cave with a white wall directly behind him.
" Where am I?" Jace asked innocently.
"You are in my home," replied a deep voice sounded like it was coming from the 'wall' behind him, " Quite the distance from any and all civilization, I might add."
Jace moved his head to see where the voice was coming from. Soon realizing the 'wall' wasn't a wall at all it was actually the side of a dragon the size of a small house, " D-d-dragon!"
"Yes, I am a dragon. Where is your nest little one?"
Jace sat in thought for a moment before pouting and speaking in a sad voice, "I-i don't know, I can't remember."
The dragon spoke softly, "It is okay little one. What is your name?"
"Jace, I think."
"Well, I'm Korthina the Queen to fire dragons, and one of the strongest. And if you can truly not remember who you are I will have to take you in as my own for as long as I can."
Jace ran to hug his new dragon mother, or at least her scaly leg, whispering "thank you" repeatedly.
Korthina smiled as best a dragon could at her new apprentice and child. She would have to speak to an old friend about taking him in sometime a few years from now, God knows only her mate Igneel could truly take care of and train this child in the magical art of Dragon Slaying.
