AN: Hello all, to thoughts that know me, yes I am still alive my muse just went MIA for about 3 years but came bat at 2 am last night. To thoughts that don't know me...hellooooo! Thank you for taking the time to read this, its just a backstory to my character, the next chapter will have her interacting and all that jazz, that is if I continue. It is a very out there idea but this story has been festering in my mind since after I finished watching Battle Force 5 all thoughts years ago. So I do want to hear your thoughts of this idea in the reviews please and any advice you can give me to improve would be very helpful as well. Now Enjoy the prolog!
It began at the beginning of their creation. The Sentients were created a very long time ago when the universe was still young and the miltiverse wasn't even an idea. During that creation another race began as well, the guardian race. Though they have been called many names, protectors, shifters, guardians, the humans called them Dragons. Natural shape shifters they took on the shape of whichever race they decided to protect, but when it was time to protect their chosens they transformed into the great fire breathing creatures that remain in the myths we speak of today. Early on, they discovered that though they were immortal beings when in their dragon form, when they were in their protected shape they took on more than just that shape but also their basic needs. Thought they remained immortal in either shape, they could still die as all living creatures could, more vulnerable when they did not have the scales protecting them.
The dragons were powerful, able to travel from planet to planet with ease, able to breathe fire and had the strength of 10 goliaths. Most revered them as fierce protectors and honored thoughts who had one of the might guardians as their ally. But some saw them as a way to gain power.
Krytis, leader of the red Sentients, was one of thoughts beings. He found a way to take control of the powerful protectors body and make them do heinous crimes in his name. Most of the time the dragon could not get free and as a result was killed to stop it from hurting others until there were none left, or so most thought.
One dragon, one young dragon had escaped while his family kept Krytis occupied. Just come of age, 23 human years old, he fled to a small blue and green planet that would one day be called earth. When he landed he discovered that there were the beginnings of life, little reptilian creatures with scales like his ran around the ground. He decided to stay on this planet until his family came to get him. But they never did, for billions of years he remained on the small young planet, even after nearly all life had been wiped out, he remained all alone in a world that was ever changing. Yes people that is right, this one dragon was the basis of our myths.
He observed many creatures come and go on the world, some big, some small. One particular creature that caught his interest was the homosapien. Fascinated by the way they learned at such a fast rate, he was captivated by their way of growing. He decided he would protect them and thus became the guardian of humanity. Though in the beginning he was worshiped as a god, over time the humans hunted him, becoming suspicions and resentful of something they could not understand. He loved the humans so much that he could not destroy them even though they disrespected his gift of protection, so he went into hiding, he became one of the humans and walked among thoughts he protected. He took the shape of a slender man with thick red hair and grey eyes.
Many years later, and many homes later, he settled down in a small town called Chelan Washington. There was a beautiful deep lake surrounded by small mountains, and around them there was open space where he knew he could fly and be his dragon self. He settle into the community around 1970 under the name Lance Dracos.
Twenty years later, on one of his flying trips he spotted something in the woods, something that made his heart stop. There in the middle of nowhere was a woman with shinning black hair lying still on the ground in shock. She was staring up at him, they made eye contact and something in Lance clicked, something on a level of his person he had never even known existed. He flew down to her and shifted into his human form in front of her. She had the most beautiful green eyes he had ever seen, as green as the old forests he remembered from so long ago. They didn't speak, they just stared at each other until she smiled at him. That smile was the end of his lonely life forever.
Years later, a family lived up in the outskirts of the town right on the edge of the lake and the forest. The Dracos's had become the heroes of the town. Lance and Layla had become firefighters to protect their town. They had had a little girl by the name of Chezarin, Lance's idea for the name. She was born with her father's wild flaming and curly red air hair and her mother's kind forest green eyes. They were afraid she would have been born like her father, in the shape of a dragon, so her mother delivered her in their house with no help except for Lance. She was born in the shape of a human, this tiny little life that shared both her mother and her father. Lance's heart melted when she looked at him with her big innocent eyes. He then and there vowed that he would die protecting them.
Her father taught her everything he knew about the universe, about the history of the dragon race, about all of the races of the universe and the history of planet earth. She was so fascinated by the knowledge but promised her father she would not breath a word of it to anyone. He taught her what went into shifting from one shape to another, but no matter how hard she tried she could not. He told her it could be because she was not mature enough and her body still had to grow, he assured her she would be able to fly with him one day. The family loved each other with all their hearts and were always together, until the girl turned 14. This story is about how that girl became a woman, and a protector.
