Hey peeps, sorry I've been so long. Loads of things have occurred since I last put anything up. Well, this story is slightly random I know, coming from a wolf and all ;) ( and Gaara'sLittleAngel94Xx will know what I mean!) I got inspired by watching Eragon for the hundredth time and it gives you a little break from Raising Wolf.

O.K, the situation here: Dragon Riders have been back for a looooooong time and there are two types of rare dragons that virtually no one owns. They are the Light dragons and the Dark dragons. Yugi has been a dragon Rider for quite a long while and is joined with a Light dragon called Sukai. Yugi is part of the dragon army known as the Syoku Ryu, where dragon riders and their dragons protect the city of Domino against evil forces and other dragons that are not on their side. But what happens when a mysterious new dragon rider with a mighty dark dragon called Ramses joins the Syoku Ryu and upsets the balance of peace between other armies of dragon Riders of other cities????

There are OC's in here with odd names, just to warn you.

If you want to be part of the Syoku Ryu as an OC, send me a private mail with a Japanese name for yourself and a name for your dragon. You also have to mention the type of dragon that you want. The types you can choose out of are: Fire, Water, Earth, Ice, Wind and Spirit.

Hope you enjoy it!

Yugi rushed through the air at high speed on his dragon. Yugi was in his training hours with Sukai, where he and Sukai would fight targets and practise their aims, as if they were fighting an opponent on another dragon. Sukai rushed toward a large red target and swerved just as they were about to hit it, so Yugi could slice it in half with the sword he was carrying.

Once he had destroyed the target, he and Sukai landed. Yugi peered at the previous targets that he had demolished.

"It's not enough..." Yugi murmered. Sukai paused.

'I thought we did quite well' Sukai said to Yugi.

"Well, we did. It was just slower than yesterday, and we need to get faster" Yugi said, deep in thought.

"You should stop pushing yourself and your dragon so hard" an old deep voice said from a distance. Yugi and Sukai looked suddenly to their far right to see a man in a white cloak, brandishing a sword with Japanese symbols on one side of the blade, walking toward them. It was the leader of the Syoku Ryu. No one knew his name, he was just known as 'The Mage'.

Everyone respected him. Even people from outside the Syoku Ryu. He had been alive when the dragon riders begun again, all those years ago. Nobody knew much about him, as he preferred to keep himself, to himself.

"I just don't want to be the weakling of the army, you know, the one that never gets called on to help protect the city" Yugi replied. The Mage approached Yugi and put a comforting hand on Yugi's shoulder.

"You and your dragon will progress when you're ready to progress, not because you don't think anyone will call upon you if you don't" The Mage replied. Yugi sighed. The Mage didn't see it his way.

'Come on Sukai. Let's go' Yugi thought sadly to his dragon as he walked off slowly out of the training ring.

It had happened before. There had been a disagreement between the Syoku Ryu and another dragon army of another city. The more experienced and better riders had to fight the opposing army and only a few riders were selected to help them. Yugi hadn't been picked because he and Sukai weren't strong enough. Yugi remembered how disappointed he had been.

He wanted to know what the thrill was like to fight other dragon riders. The only thing he had fought so far is the targets in the training area. But they were no longer enough.

Sukai felt his bitterness.

'Yugi, The Mage is right. We may not be ready to go in a fight yet. All we can do is train. We'll be picked one day. When we're ready'

Yugi half smiled. Sukai knew how to ease the pain. She had felt it too.

Suddenly, there was a shadow that was cast over them for a few seconds, before two Ice dragons landed in front of them. They belonged to two girl dragon riders called Ookami and Hyou. They were bristled with excitement.

"Yugi!" Hyou called out.

"Come on, let's go!" Ookami said before urging her dragon to take off again. Both girls took off before Yugi could say anything, so he climbed aboard Sukai and took off as well. He soon caught up with the two girls.

"Hey, what's going on?" Yugi asked.

"The Elders have called us in. Something bad has happened I know it!" Ookami called back, slightly ahead of Yugi, her white dragon roaring to other dragons on the ground. Ookami's dragon was called Sora while Hyou's dragon was called Bast.

"So if it's something bad, why are you excited?" Yugi asked.

"Nothing much ever happens around here any more. We need more excitement!" Hyou replied.

The trio weaved in and out of streets in Domino city before reaching the headquarters for the Syoku Ryu. The dragons would fly around and wait for their riders to come back out the building. They walked through a large hallway and entered a room with loads of seats climbing up near the ceiling, a bit like a university. When all the dragon riders were seated and all was quiet, The Mage appeared at the bottom of all the seats.

"Today is a fine day for the Syoku Ryu. Every so often, we get a new dragon rider joining our ranks. And today is one of those days. May you please welcome into the Syoku Ryu, our newest rider, Yami, with his dark dragon, Ramses!" The Mage announced. There was a huge applause as Yami and his dragon entered. But Yugi gasped.

This new dragon rider looked just like him. And he had a rare dragon, just like Yugi did...

Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Remember to review and send me a private message if you would like to be part of the Syoku Ryu. xXx
