He sighed as the sun set below the Dragon's Nest. He looked back at his friends who all sat near the fire and they talked about their game plan. He looked at each of his friends and examined their faces. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;" Barda, the Palace Chief Guard, looked after Lief during the time of the Shadow Lord when the Shadow Lord was in rule at Del. Barda watched Lief for so long, that all the rescues that Barda did for him, Lief thought were just light miracles. Lief looked at Barda's grim face as Lief's sister explain the game plan that she had in mind. br / Lief's sister, Cora, was the most encouraging and happy bunch in the group with her pet dragon, Spyro, next to her. Lief stared at her as she fixed her red bandana on her head. She had the purple cape along her clothes that were mostly a light blue and a green. Lief looked at Jasmine who sat next to Lief. br / Jasmine's hair was flowing in the breeze and her emerald eyes were examining everything. She watched everyone and their surrondings. She had her little fury friend, Filli on her shoulder and she kept peting the small animal as it poked it's nose out. Lastly, Lief's attention fell on Kyoya. br / Kyoya was Jasmine's brother and he had flung his bow to the ground and her watched Cora and Barda argue about the plan that Cora had in mind. Kyoya looked at Lief and Lief saw the smugged look on Kyoya's face. Lief gave a glare back. The two would never get along. Lief and Kyoya had different things between each other. Kyoya was stubborn and always seemed angry at every thing Lief came up with. Lief just glared at Kyoya as Cora and Barda kept talking. br / "If we go to the Dragon's Nest, tomorrow, we could just give the element of surprise to the Shadow Lord with out him knowing." Cora explained. br / "It's not a very good plan, Cora." Barda said. "I've been hearing rummor on that mountain." br / This got Lief's attention. He turned away from Kyoya and looked at Barda. "What rumors?" br / "The Dragon's Nest holds a dragon that say burns the people at first sight. But I never saw the fire on that mountain." Barda explained. br / "We can beat a dragon on that mountain! It won't matter. We revealed the Topaz Dragon already and all we have to do is take this dragon down if it won't listen, yeah?" Kyoya said. br / Lief shook his head. "You don't get it, you pathetic cat." Lief saidbr / Kyoya flinched at the last two words, he turned his gaze which turned into a glare and his eyes flashed at Lief. "Excuse me?!" He growled. br / "I'm guessing cats are as stupid as they seem." Lief saidbr / Kyoya growled. "If you are so smart, puppy dog, then what do YOU want us to do?!" br / Lief growled at the name "Puppy dog". True that he was able to turn into a wolf and Kyoya could turn into a Lion, but he ignored the name calling and explained why he didn't think it was a good idea why they couldn't take the dragon down. "The dragon in the nest could be the Dragon of the Ruby. And if we killed that dragon, then nobody can beat the Shadow Lord." Lief explained. br / "Lief is right, we can't kill that dragon until we figure out what kind of dragon that is." Jasmine said. br / Kyoya glared at Lief. "You're going to listen to the sick mutt?!" br / "You should watch your mouth mister! That's my brother!" Cora said. br / Soon, everyone was arguing about that one topic until they heard a roar. Lief looked up and saw the moon and stars had gone completly black. Lief finally saw a burst of fire shoot out of a black figure and the fire started to come torwards them. Lief gave a shout of a warning and everyone moved out of the way. Kyoya growled and graped his bow. He pulled arrows and begin to fire at the black figure in the sky. br / There was a roar and a loud thud. Lief looked at the beast that was in front of him and Lief saw that it was a crimson red dragon. Lief stared at it for a while. It's eyes were orange. Lief looked at the dragon with curiosity. Was this the Ruby dragon? Lief looked down at the belt but didn't see the Ruby gem grow as bright as the Topaz gem. Lief stared at the dragon confused. br / The dragon roared and opened it's mouth. Jasmine tackled Lief to the ground and the dragon's fire went above their heads. Lief looked at the dragon. Cora growls and grabed her purple sword. She ran to the dragon and sliced the leg on the dragon. The dragon roared. Or was that a yell? Lief looked at the dragon. Lief stared. What was wrong with the dragon? The dragon glared at Cora and flung it's tail. The dragon then put a gaint claw on Lief and pinned him down. Lief looked up at the dragon and Lief looked really closely at the dragon's eyes. br / Lief saw something in it's eyes. Something that he was feeling now. Lief didn't get what it was at first but then he saw Barda stab the dragon's tail and the dragon yelled in pain again. Lief looked at the dragon and stared. His head was spining with questions. Lief felt the dragon claw lift off of Lief and he watched the dragon as the dragon hissed at the friends. Lief drew his sword and took a swing to only minorly injure the dragon. The dragon hissed and looked at Lief. It started to creep forward and look at Lief. Lief stared. br / The dragon was examining him. It was looking at him up and down. The dragon stood still for a moment. Then something flew above Lief's head and a spear hit the dragon's side. The dragon yelled in pain. In the dragon's voice, Lief heard a girl's yell in pain. Lief stared. The dragon yelled and...Lief saw tears. The dragon flapped it's wings and flew away. Lief stared at the dragon for the longest time. br / Cora came racing torward to Lief. br / "Are you ok?" She said. br / "I'm fine...My head...is spining..." Lief moaned. br / Lief fell to the ground and he heard everyone's voices, including Lindal, who just joined them and threw the spear. Lief had many things in his head. All on the dragon specifically. Lief moaned and soon, shadows covered his sight./p
