Dragonborn

Chapter 1: Time Flies

28 years ago…

A purple portal opens in the ground beneath a brown dragon egg. Cracks appear in the egg as a tiny fist breaks through. The wailing from a baby could be heard as the egg leans towards the edge of the portal.

"It's a baby! Charming it's just a baby!" Snow exclaims as she and her Prince Charming watch the egg go into the portal. As the egg falls, the wails of a second baby adds to the first. The second baby clearly being weaker than the first.

"Snow… what have we done? We took away both of Maleficent's children. Two innocent little babies…" Charming says as he pulls his true love into his embrace.

13 years later…

A portal briefly opens in front of a broken down 'tower' on an island full of broken down buildings. A broken wooden sign swung over the door reading Bargain Castle. Half of a brown dragon egg flew out of the portal and landed inside of the doorway to the shop. A small pale baby laid sound asleep in the shell. Feathery wisps of light brown hair moved slightly as a wind blows through the morning air.

On the tower balcony, a once tall and proud woman stood watching her little kingdom. Her horns added to her height as she scowled down at the streets and yelled at the shopkeepers as they began to set up their wares. As she turns to the front of her home, she catches the whiff of another dragon. One that isn't her or her little brat, Mal. As she walks into her home, the scent grows weaker. Growling at the loss of the scent, the Mistress of All Evil heads down to her store, ignoring the purple haired toddler playing on the green 'throne' that the little girl was told to keep off of. The scent of the dragon grew stronger as Maleficent reached the entrance to her store. Glancing down, she sneered at the little baby who reeked of dark magic and dragon. "At least this little runt smells more powerful than my pathetic excuse of a daughter," the dark fairy states as she picks up the little infant, whose dark brown eyes open at the voice. The baby's eyes glow slightly as a dark ring appears on the edges of her iris. "You are indeed a powerful child. It would be a shame to have that darkness go to waste, I'll call you Raven."

Present Day…

A teenage girl with dark brown eyes sat on the edge of the balcony of Bargain Tower. Her feet dangled in the air as she leans back, eyes closed, as the rotten wind that smelled of garbage swept her shoulder-length black hair behind her. The dark brown tips of her hair brush against the top of her purple, sleeveless, t-shirt with a black dragon breathing lime green fire in the front. She watches as her mother, Maleficent, makes it through the barrier and into Auradon. "Maybe Mal actually succeeded in making mother proud. At least one of us has to…" the girl whispers before standing up on the edge of the balcony. Her blacked ripped skinny jeans go into her lime green combat boots. Disappointing Maleficent became much easier over the years, it seemed that no matter what the young dragons seemed to do, it was never good enough. Mal was too soft, too good, and too eager to please. Raven had the strength, fearlessness, and malevolence that Maleficent desired from her girls… but there was one issue… Raven had no desire to lead. Life as a hired thug was good enough for the youngest of the three fey. Why bother leading when you can just follow someone who clearly excels at it? Mal was the natural leader out of the sisters, people actually followed her. No one wanted to follow Raven, she was too reckless and difficult to control. Surrendering to the dark came easier to her, it was as if the light was impossible for her. Bad luck followed Raven wherever she went, almost like she was cursed.

Raven turns to have her back to the open air around her as she stretches her arms out like the wings of a dragon. She leans back and lets her body fall towards the broken concrete.

Storybrooke, Maine

Maleficent was sitting on the ground next to Lily after managing to get Lily to turn back into a human. Emma, Regina, and the Charmings had left the mother and daughter to bond after the 30 years of missing out on mother daughter time. "I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you and your sister. I tried to find the two of you after you two were taken."

Lily's eyes glow slightly before turning to her mother, her black hair moving in the slight breeze. "I have a sister? I never knew that," Lily says before standing up and putting a hand on her star birthmark. "We need to find her," she says as a slight amount of purple smoke appears around her hands.

"We will find her. We just need to use a tracking spell to locate where she ended up, I know that she ended up in a different realm." The blonde dragon sorcerous says as she gets up using the rock they were leaning against for support. She puts a hand on Lily's shoulder before pulling her daughter into a hug. "We will just need to convince the dark one into helping us."
