Cherish yesterday,dream tommorw,live today

Central Park,late January...

The normally brumal atmopshere felt unusually warm,as a white flash flew through a large,open meadow,occasionally emitting a quick blaze of flames at crudely drawn villian-type magical creatures cut out of cardboard.Feeling the bursts of cool air upon her,Wendy kept up at a breakneck pace,though having to go around in circles to complete each phase of her training was making her somewhat dizzy;she refused to take a break until she finished.

I missed one more...she thought as she rounded about the top of the oval shaped clearing,recalling the other five times she had missed,the dragoness sealed her eyes shut and focused on being able to sense the presence of her next target,before she sent a stream of fire seemingly into the air and then watched with a triumphant smile as it finally became visible.A direct hit.

"So..."she began a bit pantingly as she finally landed before a high pine tree that had it's branches clustered with heaps of old snow."What'd you think?"

Wendy paitently waited for a reply but when it didn't come,she felt the grips of exaggeration form in her and was about to advance over,when the lower branch began make a bit of a creaking sound and a fairly eluded looking Cole dropped down onto the frosty ground,a thick text book and a note book under his left arm.Sighing heavily,he crinkled his brow at her look.

"What?"He began with a little amusement."I thought you had just begun."

"Just finished."Wendy corrected him,her voice and sapphire eyes marked by humorlessness as she crossed her arms."I thought you said that you were going to keep time,where's that stop watch you brought?"

"It's not just a stop watch,it's a multimedia of everything ranging from GPS tracker,internet,a calculator-"Cole precluded his sentence when he found she had began to pick up the fallen targets."I know we haven't seen much of each other lately but this public school work is a lot more complicated then home schooling."he explained as he used the mechanised,bandaged hand that had once been his cicatrixed one to help collect a few scattered around out of her reach."It's a lot more difficult then I ever imagined."

"Really?"She inquired back in surprise."School always came easy for me."

"Well,that's because you've spent nine consecutive years,eight hours of the day and sixty-four days in a whole year total going."Cole told her didacticly as he approched her with his half and together they split the remains to toss out amongst themselves equally."Most of my life has been about training."

"And you said you were on the verge of failing math."Wendy laughed with a professed skeptical tone."Anyways,"she breathed contently and took in the glorious palmy weather."I'm just glad that it's finally not snowing so much so a person could actually walk outside,I couldn't stand that blizzard."

"Tell me about it,"He agreed lightly as they started in the direction of a trash bin they had seen on the nearest sidewalk."I haven't gotten to see Arce..."

Hearing her brother trail off,she asked him a bit carefully as he appeared to be listening around for something intently."Did you hear something?"

"Shh,"Cole hushed her gently,his blackened eyes took on their occasional portentousness as he locked them onto a thicket."We have company."

The two looked at each other and exchanged decisive nods,though Wendy could feel a wave of axiousness fall over her,it didn't deter from her want to have just a few more minutes of action that day.To her,the ability to have as great a say in the magical world as the American Dragon had always been like an honor to her,an honor that she one day hoped to be able to fulfill.

"Ready?"she glanced over at Cole bracingly.

"Ready.We'll ambush whoever it is from the sides,that good with you?"

"Sure."Wendy agreed impartly,her focus now completely on he greenary.

"One...two...three!"

They spoke in unison and yet before either of them could react,a boy about their age with hazel hair and chocolate eyes sprang up with his hands brought up in a defensive postion,looking a little flustered,he moved out and had to jerk hard in order to snap free one of his shoe laces that got caught.

"Josh!"She merely gaped,incredulous."What on earth are you doing here behind a bush?Gracious sakes,we nearly mistook you for a stalker."

"That word fits the bill nicely."Cole acclaimed knowingly,glowering slightly at the other boy."Care you explain yourself before I start to feel uncalmed?"

"Only if Wendy will explain why this is the third band reheresal she's missed in a row these last two weeks."He countered at him in a surly tone.

"Oh..."An ill-prepared frown crossed her visage."It was today?I thought you told me we were getting together tommorw before Saturday night."

"Tryouts to score a record deal aren't too far along,"Josh reminded her in a more mitigated tone of voice."I hate to say it but your doing it again,your not giving a lot of thought to everything you make a commitment to."

Wendy sighed in acknowledegement and looked him straight in the eyes as she awnsered."Your right,I did say I was going to help us win next week when that talent scout comes and I will.How long were you there anyway?"

"Not long.Eight,ten minutes tops."

"There's something on your shirt collar."Cole pointed out all of a sudden.

Curiously,she pulled the neck of her forest green jacket forward and her blue eyes fixed on a small black device."Josh,"she began flatly,placing her hand on her hip."Is this one of those tiny microphones used for eavsdropping?"

At that,he replied breezily."Yeah,I almost charged your Dad twenty for it."

Before she could say anything more,an unusal shifty feeling from below her feet caused her to avert her azure eyes down to the dried earth and then as she began to hear Cole say something,another,almost more booming kind of tremor pumped up just a bit at her feet and as she felt a sinking feeling that was also associated with the beginning of a third attempt,Wendy managed to leap over a few feet as the earth around them began to shake and rumble.

"An earthquake."Cole was first to state over the medium commotion,his eyes and voice centered in imperativeness as all three moved back."Hurry,we've got to get out in the open and away from all these trees,b-oh good knight."

Just as it seemed like the ground would open up and swallow the trio,a large orb of cool,misty white rose from an augured area in where she had stood and levitated before them just a small distance away,then spread into a large sheet that began to reveal an image of a large figure moving about but it was cast in shadow so it was unclear who it was.Wendy was about to suggest they make a break for better room to move but a low,willowy voice spoke.

"Long ago,a dragon consumed in pure dark magic appeared one day and nearly has destroyed all mankind once.Only two dragons have ever managed to fight him and live,the first being Lung Laoshi:The Former Chinese Dragon and his grandson,Jacob Luke Long:The Former American Dragon..."

Struck with perplexion at this,Wendy peered from both corners of her eyes but only to find Josh had a fleeting appearance plastered onto his visge,while Cole appeared to be appraising the mysterious entity with great detail and thinking.

Groaning softly,she inquired in a clear voice."What's this have to do with us?"

"I shall awnser your posed question.You see,it is believed that your line of blood is that of a gifted one and since this generation is the youngest and most determined,the time has come for the ultimate test.See,you and your brother Coleton are the bridge between the world of the Hunter and the world of Magic.Though your parents were the start,their time has long passed (for the moment) and a new beginning of the two of you not only having a connection gentically but in tolerances of one another,seems to be one of the final pieces to the prophecy that is nearly assemblenced."

"Well,the whole 'Wendy being the good twin and Cole being the evil twin' has kind of already been obvious for almost six months now."Josh interrupted with a deducting sense about him."What does it have to do with this Dark dude?"

"The Dark Dragon has an extensive knowledge of magical items,his power and strength are almost efficient enough to return to a time where the Crystal Aztec Skulls still existed.Gwendolyn,Coleton,do not question who has sent you this,you will have four days to return to the past in order to retrieve the skulls and stop him before he succeds in-"

"Wiping out all humans."Cole finished in a quiet voice,crossing his arms.

"Correct.Remember,time is of the essence and this mission will determine the future of all.Magic and humanity cannot survive without each other."

"You seem to know about all of this,"Wendy turned to her brother once the image had dissipated into the wind,seekingness flowing in her words."What are those skulls she was talking about?It seems like I've heard them mentioned before."

He sighed and then after giving it some consideration,replied with a somewhat difficulty in his voice."The Huntsman never gave me many specifics but he said at one time he had tried to eliminate all magical creatures with them.But for some reason,they were damanged beyond repair and therefore rendered useless."he scoffed to himself."Tsk,figures.The coward."

"I've heard Dad talk about the Dark Dragon before and how he wanted to get rid of all humans but how could he use the skulls?Nothing's adding up here."

"Hey,"Josh turned finally turned his attention to Cole,asking in an rather unusal tone;casual."Wouldn't the Huntsclan carry a lot of info on this kind of stuff?You know,like from one villian to another on advice on how to wreck havoc."

"Well,yes,but nothing dealing with the adverse effects on magical items toward humans."Pausing to resume his musing,an idea sparked and he asked Wendy conventionally."Didn't our great grandfather own alot of magical volumes?"

"Don't forget that time travelling necklace you kept Fu from pawning off."

She looked from face to face,caught up in the moment as everything seemed to be happening all at once.Why did they seem like they completely grapsed this and were fairly physced to begin into this new occurance?It just seemed to her that they were too eager.But finally she knew she would have to give in and it surprised her that she didn't feel as compelled.

"Alright,"Wendy finally spoke what was on everyone's mind,the strangeness of the moment falling to the back of her own at her discretion."I think it's time to pay a quick visit,we need to find out more on this prophecy thing and fast."

To Be Continued...

Ending note:Keep in mind,a certain mix of my own creation and what's going on currently now in season two are combined.Anywho,until next time.
