Prologue
In a cave somewhere up in the North. An egg lay in burning wood, shiny and unscathed. Around it two forms sat on opposite sides. One male which was huge, black, with wings and a long tail that was swaying side to side while the other a female, small compared to its companion but with grey fur and pointy ears. A dragon and a wolf.
"What do you think it will be?" Asked the wolf.
"I don't know Alore. But whatever it is, I will accept it and raise it well. Don't worry" Replied the dragon. The wolf now identified as Alore glanced at the egg then back at the dragon.
"I know... I'm not worrying. It's just that... it's a hybrid and I know for a fact that having him/her is ultra rare, almost impossible. Who knows what kind of power it holds" The dragon stared at Alore but soon set his gaze on the egg. Suddenly, the faintest sound of a crack could be heard. "Sekrit! Sekrit! Look! It's hatching!" The dragon now named Sekrit lowered his head so it was near the egg.
Cracks began to appear until finally the top of the egg popped off and a small black head emerged. It's two bright red eyes staring at the dragon, identifying it as it's father. "Hmph... it's a boy" stated Sekrit, his red eyes staring back at his son.
"And he's a dragon" Alore added.
"Is that a bad thing?" Asked Sekrit, his gaze turning from the young boy to the wolf.
"No, not really. But it means that he'll grow to be bigger than me and I'm not too fond of that idea. Well... what's done is done. Now then, what should we call him? Deathstar? Cupcake? Sekrit Jr.?"
"What? No! I will not have my son named Deathstar or cupcake!" Yelled Sekrit.
"Then what? He has to have a name... wait a second... How about Tatsumi?"
"Tatsumi?" Confusion pulled at Sekrits face, he looked towards the boy and hummed.
"Yes, Tatsumi. As in 'Tatsu' which means dragon and 'mi' which means beauty... his scales are beautiful after all, along with his eyes" Sekrit nodded.
"Okay then, Tatsumi it is" Sekrit looked back down at his son, examining his further.
Tatsumi was a baby dragon the size of a teenage wolf (Don't question how his mother got the egg of that size out of her, lets just say she used some form of dark magic). His scales were as black as the night yet he had red stripes going down from the middle of his neck and all the way down to his tail. His two large wings were covered with blood red leather. Two scarlet curved horns adorned his head along with red spikes going all the way down his neck and back and finally his tail which at the end turned into a forked end. His claws were red and his teeth were angel like white, not to mention sharp. Two blade like spikes were at the sides of his mouth. However his eyes were the most intriguing. They were like his fathers, bright ruby red with crossed shaped slits and a circle running through them while eight dots in pairs were found on the outside of the circle. They were indeed menacing, just like a dragon should be.
"Now then, we all need our rest so lets go and get some sleep. You too little one" Said Sekrit, Alore nodded in agreement. She picked up Tatsumi from his shattered egg shell and placed him between both herself and his father. The young boy soon dozed off leaving his two parents in silence.
"You know Sekrit..." started Alore.
"Hmm?"
"The day you saved me from my horrible death. I would have never thought that it would end up like this. Us together, having a child. Becoming a family... life is so peaceful now"
"Yes. It indeed is. But we must be cautious. I've caught word that the humans are coming our way... many Danger Beasts have fallen at their hands. I don't want us to be next. I don't want to become a tool and be used for meaningless and stupid disputes. Humans just want power. They don't care about anything else." Said Sekrit grimly.
"They are coming... I'm sorry for asking but... who has fallen?" Alore's eyes gained a sense of fear.
"Do not worry Alore. I will protect the both of you. After all... I am a divine deity, one of the Five Demon Deity's. I am one of a kind... well with the birth of our son that is not true any more but still, Gods would have trouble killing me. I am the most powerful Demon Deity therefore I am in charge of protecting this world. Humans will not harm us. I promise. As for who has fallen...It is in my deep regret to say that the Tyrant has fallen as well as Ekisu (Demon's Extract. I needed a name for it). They both have been turned into weapons of mass destruction."
"Two of the Demon Deity's fell... that means that only you, Moeaga and Raiton remain..." Alore's head hung low.
"The humans... they are getting stronger. They are beginning to understand us more and more." Sekrit growled out.
"If they are coming here... then how long will they be?" Asked Alore with anxiousness lacing her words.
"Well... at the pace they are travelling and the environment here... I say about 3 years"
Alore quickly looked towards their sleeping son"Thr-three years!? Then our son..."
"Do not worry Alore, as I said before. I will protect you both." Sekrit took his gaze away from Alore and down upon the sleeping form of his son who was nestled in between the two of them.
==3 Years Time Skip==
You could hear the birds singing and the wind howling, as well as the laughter echoing out of a large cave. "COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE RASCAL!" Inside, a scene amusing to some was being played out. A black almighty dragon was chasing round a black furry pup. "You pissed on my tail! Now you're gonna get it!" Although the dragon was yelling, the pup was unfazed instead he did a U-turn round a large boulder running further away from the screaming dragon. "You littl-"
"THAT IS ENOUGH!" A grey wolf quickly popped into the scene, picking up the pup by it's neck and setting it down in front of the dragon. " Now Tatsumi, what have I told you about having to 'need to go'?" The pup looked up and towards his mother.
"When I need to go, I go outside." Tatsumi replied cutely.
"Good boy. Now, apologise to your father" Tatsumi looked to the left and tilted his head more so he was making eye contact with the dragon.
"I am sorry farther..." The dragon looked upon the pup's face and saw his upset puppy dog eyes... he gave in.
"It's fine son. Just don't do it again" Tatsumi yelped out an okay and ran off with his tail wagging like crazy. He wandered deeper into the cave and came back carrying a large Evil Bird bone.
As he sat down, his parents began a conversation. "I still can't believe that he can shift between a dragon and wolf, no matter how many times I see it." Started Alore bewildered at her sons ability.
"It is to be expected. He is after all, a hybrid. Both dragon and wolf. Or if you want to be technical then dragon, demon and werewolf."
"Yes but.."
"Alore. He has both mine and your blood running through his veins. If I can shift into a smaller form of myself, I'm sure that due to him being a hybrid he is able to do that much."
"Well, I just hope that he doesn't shift into anything else"
"And why is that? He has the possibility to shift into a human or a demon. It is a 50/50 chance."
"Well, I just hope that it is human" Alore said hopefully.
"Do you not like my demon side? Alore. I am heartbroken"
"Oh shut up you overgrown lizard"
"That I cannot do. Unfortunately I am worried. He has not once used his powers..." stated Sekrit.
"Maybe he didn't get them? Anyway I would not want another crazed maniac running wild"
"I am offended. I am not a crazed maniac. I take my duty and power very seriously."
"I know, I know. But you are right, he has not once shown his power to control the darkness. If he was able to do that now, no human would be able to lay a finger on him" Both parents looked towards their son who was still happily chewing on a bone.
Sekrit sighed "He is three years old, yet he is the size of a 6 year old, also he can speak any language fluently and has perfect grammar. He can now breathe fire and shift between both dragon and wolf. You would think that he has already learnt how to control the darkness by now"
"Okay, okay. Stop doting on your son Sekrit. It has been 3 years since that day and we have had no word of those humans that were coming our way. Is it possible that they decided to go away?"
"That is highly unlikely. Their thirst for power is too great. They will come." Sekrit looked outside the cave and beyond the horizon "When they come. You and little midget over there go and hide in here. I will take care of them. Even if they have weapons made from my fallen brethren. That will not stop me from protecting my family"
Tatsumi's wolf form had jet black fluffy and soft fur with scarlet stripes and highlights. His tail was long and fluffy as hell! His eyes were gem yellow. Tatsumi was still chewing on his Evil Bird bone, unaware of his parents discussion. Suddenly his ears perked up and he stilled. "What's wrong son?" Asked Sekrit noticing the boys sudden strange behaviour.
"Mama... father... someone's coming" Tatsumi ran to his mother side, hiding behind her "They're coming closer." Just then, the sound of trees falling was heard. To others they would hear nothing but all of their sensitive ears picked up the distinguishing sound.
Both Sekrit and Alore looked out over the trees and over to the horizon. "They are here." Stated Sekrit "Go! Go and hide. I will sort this out" A look of fear crossed Alore's features, she turned away from the cowering boy behind her and towards the mighty dragon in front of her.
"Sekrit...please... be safe"
"I will." Sekrit stood away and opened up his wings. With a strong flap, he took off.
"Mama? Where is father?" Both confusion and fear glazing his eyes.
"Don't worry Tatsumi. He will come back."
==With Sekrit==
Sekrit was flying towards the horizon just above the tree lines, skilfully missing every pointy edge of a pine tree. 'Now then... Where are they?' Right then, a cannon shot could be heard. Sekrit quickly turned his gaze to the left, seeing a large metallic ball hurdling its way towards him, he glided to the right missing it by an inch.
"DAMN IT! What are you doing you imbecile!?" A human yelled from behind a tree.
"Oh well done! He's noticed us now you dimwit!" another yelled. They were both yelling at a soldier who seemed to be in charge of the cannon. The cannon itself was placed behind a bush.
Sekrit then let out a huge earth shattering roar which gained the attention of the three bickering men. More troops have now come out from hiding, there were about 40,000. 'This is nothing' With an open jaw, Sekrit let out a wave of bright orange and yellow flames. Consuming the three men and everyone else.
==With Alore and Tatsumi==
An almighty roar could be heard in the distance, followed by a flash of orange and yellow. Tatsumi covered his face with his tail, hoping to become invisible to the rest of the world. "Shh... don't worry Tatsumi. Everything will be okay" Alore trying to comfort her frightened son became scared herself 'Sekrit. Please be okay' She got her own tail and wrapped it around the young boy.
"ARGH! SHIT! My fucking leg!" A cry of pain could be heard, the source... the entrance of the cave.
"Shut up will you?! Are you trying to wake the whole world up!?" Another voice, this one a bit gruff.
"But it hurt so damn much..." moaned the first one.
"I. Don't. Care. You just grazed it for fucks sake! But... this cave. You sure it's the right one?"
"Yeah. The General wouldn't lie now would he?"Two pair of hands could be seen grabbing onto the ledge of the cave. Two men pulled themselves up. One small and skinny while the other tall and meaty. They were both clad in armour and were carrying weapons. "Geez. Why the fuck are we here?" The skinny one asked.
"Because you blockhead. We are scouting the area for the powerful Danger Beast" The fat one replied.
"Yeah but the dragon is all the way back there, fucking up our buddies"
"Ugh. Do you not listen at all at briefing? We are to find it's lair and set up a trap for it"
"Ooooooh. That makes sense"
Alore watched these two men conversing. Tatsumi still hiding behind her. She began to let out a low growl meant to intimidate the two idiots. The two soldiers turned towards her, shock plastered all over their faces. "Shit! There was nothing about a wolf inhabiting the cave at briefing!" yelled the fat soldier.
"We are so in deep shit right now!" roared the skinny comrade. They both backed away and drew their weapons. The fat pig a spear while the skinny stick a short sword. Alore came out from the shadows, leaving Tatsumi behind. Her mouth was pulled back into a snarl showing off her knife sharp teeth. She stood at 4'8, just below the short soldiers chin and the tall soldiers chest. "Shit dude! What do we do!?" Asked the skinny soldier going into a panic.
"Fight ofcourse! Why the hell do you thing we trained for 2 years!?" answered the fat soldier. Both soldiers pointed their weapons towards Alore, the fat soldier let out a war cry and charged straight at her. Alore just side stepped the attack and kicked him with her hind legs, making him bash his head against the ground as he fell. The skinny one let out a girly scream and began to wave his sword around crazily, Alore got behind him within seconds and pounced on his back, sinking her teeth within his neck and twisting. The soldier fell to the grow lifeless, his head turned at a weird angle. The fat soldier got out from his daze and threw the spear at Alore. Alore just dodged it by going underneath it and attacked the fat soldier, her mouth opening for a bit. The fat soldier put up a hand to protect himself, she latched onto it and began to pull at it wildly. After some struggling seconds, she ripped his arm off, blood gushing out from the wound. The soldier fell to the floor, a wet spot appearing on his pants and began repeating the same words.
"NO! NOT ME! NO! NOT ME!". Alore just walked calmly towards him and stuck her long claws in his neck, the blood running to his neck stopped him from breathing and he died shortly after. The two invaders were now dead.
Tatsumi was curled up next to a boulder. Blending in perfectly with his surroundings. "Tatsumi... come on. Come to mummy. The bad people are gone now. There is nothing to be afraid of" Tatsumi slowly uncurled and stood up, wiping away his stray tears with a paw. He turned towards his mother who's paws and mouth were covered with blood yet she was still smiling. Tatsumi returned the smile and ran towards her. Each step bringing him closer to happiness. Then the sound of a gunshot could be heard, followed by another. Tatsumi stood still in his place, five inches away from his mother. Alore had a pained look upon her face.
Tatsumi looked upwards and a drop of blood fell on his snout. It came from his mother. She had two holes in her body. One through her chest allowing you to see her still beating heart which was slowing down by the second while the other had taken off half of her face, bits of brain sliding down her head and onto the floor. "AAAAAAAAHHHH" Tatsumi fell back, his mother's body toppling over next to him, lifeless. Her once bright eyes were dull and emotionless now. Her once warm body was cold now. Tatsumi looked away from the corpse and towards the entrance, there he saw a man clad in silver armour holding a gun with smoke emitting from it. Fear and rage laced Tatsumi's mind.
==With Sekrit==
"AAAAAAAAHHHH" A scream reached Sekrit's sensitive ears. He looked towards the direction of his home and worry overcame him. With a beat of his wings, he left the torched forest and its dead inhabitants there and flew back to his lair. The soldiers that were still clinging onto life fled, their bodies burnt and beaten.
After some minutes, Sekrit arrived at the entrance of the cave. He went inside and instantly noticed the two dead bodies. 'Hmm, must be the work of Alore' he continued onward, descending into further darkness. He stopped and stared. What he saw terrified him to the core, it was worse that his nightmares. His love, Alore, dead. Two holes going through her body and her son... feasting upon the corpse. His eyes both cross slitted but the colour all wrong. The left was yellow while the right red.
Tatsumi's head jerked up, giving Sekrit the full view of his sons blood stained face. The face of a werewolf yet a dragon at the same time. And behind Tatsumi was a giant pool of blood. 'Now that. I know definitely does not belong to Alore'
==With Tatsumi some minutes earlier==
Fear and rage consumed Tatsumi's mind as he stared at his mother's murderer. The humans cold eyes glaring holes through him "You monster." that sentence alone was enough to send Tatsumi over the edge.
His blood boiled, breathing sped up and felt a swelling pain all over his body but most of all his eyes. Many emotions raced through him: Sadness, fear, happiness, jealousy and most of all rage.
Sadness because of his mother's miserable death.
Two curved horns grew out from his head.
Fear because he was now alone.
Spikes adorned his back from his neck to his tail.
Happiness because of his fond memories.
Scales began to appear all over his arms, legs, sides of his face and tail.
Jealousy because of the normal life the human before him had.
Two large black wings sprouted out from his back.
Rage because of what they took from him.
Two scarlet blade like spikes grew out from the sides of his mouth and his wrists.
Why... Why... Why!?
Finally his eyes turned: the left yellow while the right red, both cross slitted.
I am an abomination...
Tatsumi stood on his hind legs and began to grow in size, becoming the size of a tall human, approximately 6'5.
He looked ahead, the murderer in his sight. With a push of his feet he was upon the soldier. The man didn't even have time to react as Tatsumi dug his claws within flesh, ripping out chunks of it. To keep the man in place, Tatsumi wrapped his tail round the soldiers abdomen making it hard for him to breathe. Tatsumi then wrapped his clawed hands round the man's head a shredded it in half. "Weak... You are weak." Chanted Tatsumi.
Blood leaked from the wounds creating a pool of vermilion. Tatsumi inhaled the scent and instantly his hunger kicked in. A minute passed, then two, then three. After Tatsumi was finished a much sweeter smell caught his nose. His body twisted round, his coloured eyes eyeing his mother's corpse. Within his rage he could not tell friend from foe. Only his undying thirst for battle, for blood, for victory. In his hunger Tatsumi leaped towards the corpse and indulged himself in it. His mouth lingering for a moment, once again inhaling the sweet smell. Piece by piece he swallowed the fruitful flesh until he felt a powerful presence enter the cave. He looked up, yellow and scarlet meeting blood red.
Tatsumi's eyes narrowed. In front of him stood a 38 foot tall dragon. "I see how it is. I knew that you being able to shift dragon to wolf was too normal. You are a hybrid born from one of the Five Demon Deity's: The Dark Demon Dragon. And a Moonlit Werewolf. Your rage has made you go berserk... it has made you lose yourself." As each word was spoken, Sekrit's mouth formed into a smile "My son. You cannot return to your former self. It pains me to do this but... I have to kill you." As the last sentence was said, Sekrit unleashed a bundle of flames.
Tatsumi did not dodge, instead he took it full force on and came out the other end unscathed. "How could I have been so stupid. You are my son after all. Your scales are the strongest material that evr existed, fire wont hurt you" Sekrit unravelled his wings and flew out of the cave and into a clearing, Tatsumi right on his tail.
Sekrit did a spin and attacked Tatsumi with his tail, Tatsumi just dodged under it and bit it. Sekrit let out a quick and quiet yelp and tried to shake him off by slamming him against a boulder but Tatsumi instead landed on all fours on the boulder, his feet digging into the rock and using all of his strength swung Sekrit over his head and into the side of the mountain, breaking some of Sekrit's wing bones. A groan of pain was let out.
"Okay shrimp. I'm not about to get beaten by a midget like you!" Sekrit stood up, dark aura emanating from him. "I'll show you why I'm the leader of the Five Demon Deity's." Suddenly a black ink like substance of some sorts came out from Sekrit's shadow and wrapped itself around Tatsumi's body, restraining him. The more Tatsumi struggled, the tighter the binds got. The ink substance formed four black blades and they embedded themselves into Tatsumi's body: His gut, right arm, left leg and chest. Tatsumi let out a long cry of agony, blood pouring out of his wounds.
"I will kill you... I will kill you...I WILL KILL YOU!" Tatsumi chanted. At that moment, black tentacles sprouted out from Tatsumi's lower back. Eight in total, four of them snaked their way up Sekrits own black ink blades and shattered them with a snap. They then proceeded to now bind Sekrit. Tatsumi slumped over and steam began to leave his wounds, within seconds all of his wounds were gone. Tatsumi used his wings and flew up to be eye level with the dragon. His large tentacles still restricting Sekrit.
With a rage filled roar, Tatsumi's mouth opened letting out bright purple fire. "ARGHH!" The remainder of Sekrits ink bindings began to melt. One of the three remaining tentacles pierced Sekrit's chest, right next to his heart, the next stabbed through his stomach and the last through his throat. Sekrit began to make gargling like pain noises, his blood rushing upwards and out his mouth.
Sekrit's body went numb, he could hardly breathe. Tatsumi released his hold on the elder dragon and let him tumble towards the ground, landing on his already broken wings which caused him greater pain. "I was too weak? How?" Sekrit croaked out.
"You were weak. So so weak."
"I'm such an imbecile. You have the same power as me and your mothers blood just makes that more powerful. Only my own power and the power of light can pierce my scales... Tatsumi... my boy, I have a favour to ask...*cough cough* Please complete my duty. I know that you are in there somewhere. Come back, please." Realization soon settled in Tatsumi's mind bringing him back from the void filled with only his rage.
"Father! Oh god... what have I done!? No, no, no, no. This can't be happening. First mother now farther... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Screamed Tatsumi, tears spilling out of his eyes.
"Tatsumi... before I die. Promise me something *cough cough* promise me that you will take on my duty. The purpose of the Five Demon Deity's was to protect this world from one thing... Gelion, God of Destruction. He purges worlds for his own entertainment, this world had the potential of becoming one of the greatest weapons against Gelion. But it was not enough. So us five came here... to protect it. This duty, my son... is now...yours"
Sekrit's head fell to the side lifeless."nonononono NO! Father! No! Please don't leave me..." Tatsumi suddenly began to get encased by dark purple and black crystals, his cries becoming silent...
My son,I used the last of my life force to encase you with dark crystals.
They will protect you for many years. I want you to understand this
world first then fulfil my promise.
I entrust the fate of the world to you...
Well that is it for the prologue, until next time folks!
