Sunrunner's Fire Chapter One Better Times

Main Character

Name- Tyrin Drachen

Nicknames(Current, Past, and Future)- Ty, Sunrunner, She-Wolf, Dragoness, Lioness

Gender- Female

Current Age- This is Ty'e life story so I'll be post the age each chapter.

Physical Description(This is how Ty will look when she's 17, but every thing besides her height) - Ty is fairly tall for a girl at 5'10" though although she does weight quite a bit more than what she looks, Ty maintains a surprisingly thin, neat figure. Her greater weight despite her size comes from the simple fact that muscle weighs more than fat and Ty has a lot of muscle. So don't let her graceful, willowy appearance fool you, she is more than able to do her share of butt kicking. Her raven black hair falls to her shoulders(It's longer in some chapters than others. Hair grows) and bang frequently fall into her eyes that are so dark brown that they appear black. Tyrin spends a great deal of time out doors and therefore has very tanned skin that has a rich, bronze tone to it. This tone is interrupted by lighter scar tissue on Ty's fore arms and knees that bear many small scars from falling down and fights. Besides the scars, Ty was born with a series of tattoos that showed which of the chakra beasts her father sealed within her. The first is the serpentine image of a black eastern(think Chinese) dragon that wraps around her right fore arm three times that represents the wicked black dragon of the west, Torack. The next is on the inside of her left wrist, it is a phoenix roughly the size of a quarter that appears in shades of blue, purple, and red. On either side of the phoenix on the sides of Ty's wrist are gold edged triangles that signify the bow that is Zinar's gift to Tyrin. The next tattoo is a jade green dragon that appears wrapping around Ty's left ankle twice, it is the mark of the green forest guardian dragon Wrynstra. For some reason, the wolf Ameratsau did not gift her human with any visible markings...

Clothing- What Ty wears depends on what she's doing. When she's running in the surrounding rocky, lake marked forest around her father's laboratory tower, Tyrin's barefoot in knee length black pants and a dark blue tank top over a lighter blue T-shirt.

As the mysterious Sunrunner, Tyrin dress in a form fitting black suit with white armor plates on the tops of her shoulders, between her shoulder and elbow, thighs, on her back on her shoulder blades, and a single plate on her chest over her heart. Along with all of that the Sunrunner wears heavy brown leather gloves that also protect her forearms and similar ninja-like sandals that also protect her shins. Her most remarkable piece of clothing is the white mask with crimson around the eye holes with a stripe running vertical from the eye rings to the edges of the mask with a gold diamond in the center of the mask.

All of the above may and probably will change. So I'll get on to the story so you can get to know the character. This chapter(And probably the next few) are mostly scenes from the past. Ty is roughly 5 in this chapter

"Hurry up Ty!" A young boy with shaggy black hair and vivid green eyes called back to a girl that was obviously his twin sister. The boy grinned and turning back to face the trail the two of them had been climbing found himself face to face with Tyrin.

"Me hurry up? Ha! You hurry up Taokishi!" The girl joked grinning before offering Tao a hand to help him over the next rock. The boy shook his head and took her hand to allow her pull him up, glancing at the bandage she wore to cover up the dragon tattoo on her arm.

"I still don't understand why you where that" Tao commented pointing at the bandage with a frown. Ty rolled her eyes, You never understand anything.

"It makes me nervous. I feel like it's going to eat me" Ty answered as she sat down on the rock to catch her breathe with Tao beside her as the two looked out over the breathe-takingly beautiful landscape of the northern fire country.

"But the others don't make you nervous" Tao responded with interest as he sat down beside her.

"I know, but it... It just feels wrong... Evil might be a better word for it. I don't know how to explain it to you" Tyrin sighed closing her eyes and leaning back against another rock in frustration.

"Don't worry about it" Tao answered looking up and sighing, "We'd better hurry home before we get in trouble" They both stand and start climbing.

Tyrin was definitely the more agile and faster of the two but Taokishi was definitely stronger, able to give Ty boost and pull her up when necessary.

"What have you two been up to this time?" An amused voice asked, causing the two to look up at the good natured, smiling face of their older half brother. Instead of black his hair was almost red in color and his eyes were a gentle sky blue.

"We went 'sporling Jiro!" Ty supplied grinning at her brother as he helped the two over the last big rock.

"We saw a baby deer! I almost got to touch it!" Tao put in excitedly. There was nothing like a little kid's wonder or excitement.

"That's great!" Jiro replied beaming at his younger siblings and standing up, ajusting his new head band stamped with the sign of the Village Hidden in the Leaves, "But now we need to get back before Father sets any thing loose"

Both raven haired children nodded furiously and took off at a dead run for the massive white stone tower rising up out of the trees. Jiro fallowed behind, but his sharp blue eyes were on the look out for any thing that might cause the twins harm. The three made it to the tower just as the massive iron doors began to swing shut. A balding man with dark brown hair streaked with silver glared at them with fierce hazel eyes and licked his lips in irritation, "You cut it a little close. I had to send Jiro after you."

"Sorry father" The twins apologized in unison to their bare feet and the stone floor of the first floor. Jiro put a comforting hand on each twin's shoulder and smiled up at their father, "They would have made it without me father. I think they should both go for ninja when school starts again."

The scientist that was the trio's father hadn't missed the emphasis on 'both,' but that didn't mean he liked it. His eyes narrowed as they met his eldest son's, but he knew that Jiro was right. Although his daughter had for sure bonded with the evil black dragon of the west, Torak and the green forest dragoness Wrynstra, he needed to know which one of them had bonded with the Five Tailed Bull. The other would either have to be bound and made to serve the other or killed.

Jiro saw his father's relenting and gave an inner sigh of relief, at least they wouldn't be punished. The elderly man nodded his agreement and turned to descend the stairs back into the basement laboratory.

"Go eat supper and then to bed with you both" Jiro told the pair who each gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek before going up to the next floor to the dining chamber. The ninja smiled until the two were out of sight then he frown and closed his eyes in frustration.

They were being given an easier time growing up only because of Jiro's standing threat to his father that he would disappear with them both if their father happened to treat them like he treated him. Jiro's back still gave him trouble from the whip scars, but unlike one of his younger half siblings he didn't have a tailed beast sealed inside.

Although completely unknown to Jiro was that five beasts had been sealed within the Twins' mother. All five had chosen one twin or the other to reside within and was sealed as such. Tyrin it was already known contained both dragons and one of them would put her on the same level as a tailed beast, but with both dragons at her command she would be unstoppable... If she learned to control them.
