Hello! So this is my first Gravity Falls story and the idea for it has been bubbling in my pea sized brain for a while. Hope you like!
Dipper and Mabel were sleeping when it happened. By 'it' I mean the start to an adventure that would show the Pine Twins that they really couldn't trust the people they held closest in Gravity Falls. It had just struck midnight when a soft glow appeared from under Dipper's pillow, spreading out into the room in spirals.
"Mabel, turn off the lights..." Dipper murmured as he rubbed his eyes. When his vision came clear he realized that the lights were indeed off and Mabel was snoring loudly in her bed. As he sat up, Dipper pulled away his pillow in confusion and saw the journal. His journal. Surrounding it, a deep gold glow that was growing bigger by the moment.
Panicking, Dipper was about to open the book when it opened its self. Dipper scrambled backwards on his bed and watched as the journal flip pages silently. As he drew closer, Dipper saw the journal stop dead and at the top of the page was written 'Dragons' in scrawny, over sized letters. Bringing the book on his lap, Dipper read the page where the glow was coming from.
'Dragons
I fear my life and the lives of many Dragons are in danger. The Dragon Chase is back and she's searching for the Hidden Treasure of the Dragons. To find it she'll need to get hold of the Chanda Dragon- The Moon Dragon. She's escaped the Dragon Chase's grasp once but it won't happen again. According to my research, the Chanda Dragon is cable of so much more than I first thought and seems to be immortal. If only we could keep the girl safe! I cannot write more on this subject for if I do, I could put others in more danger. Here is everything I've learned on the Dragon species:
Much like fairy tales, Dragons do breath fire and have a greed for treasure. The Dragons of Gravity Falls stay hidden within the mountains and haven't been seen by any human but me for millions of years. Their scaly skin keeps out the cold and the warmth so if you get lucky enough to touch one, you'll only feel a empty shiver in your body. Once in a blue moon (literally) a Chanda Dragon is born. It appears they are half dragon and have the appearance of a human.
I have met with the Wali Dragon (Translation: The Protector Dragon) and he trusts me enough to tell me the secret of old. The ancient secret is-'
Hastily, Dipper turned the page. Nothing. His brows furrowed together as he turned through the pages looking for a missed page but still nothing. As he studied the last sentence carefully, Dipper noticed that it looked as if a pen was yanked from the writers hand. A few blobs of ink stained the page, leaving Dipper even more confused. A shiver was sent down his back as the book slammed shut on its own, the golden glow disappearing. Holding the journal close to his chest, Dipper slid off his bed and gently shook Mabel awake.
"Dipper?" Mabel yawned as she sat up.
"Mabel, you need to see this." Dipper opened the book to the page of Dragons and shoved the journal to Mabel. The young girl read through the page slowly, eventually blinking up at her brother. The silence was unbearable.
"Mabel don't you see?" Dipper sighed. "I've been through this book millions of times and I've never ever seen this page. Something must have changed in Gravity Falls."
"Something to do with Dragons..." Mabel pondered.
"Something to do with Dragons..." Dipper repeated.
The twins brainstormed aloud for a few minutes of where they could begin on their new mystery but eventually gave up and went back to their beds. The rest of the night was filled with silence as a watchful eye cursed under their breath, planning how to get rid of this 'minor' disturbance in her plan.
