Large caramel eyes glinted with worry, sparkling in the night like two stars which have fallen from the velvet ceiling of splittered glitter. The beast raised her enormous silver head, and the moon licked her argent scales with envious rays. Her white mane ruffled in the wind, a gentle breeze brought the news of far away lands, news that made the dragon flinch as if shaken by a jolt of electricity, and a frown grew in the young, yet serious and wise features. The female reptile lowered her head and closed her beautiful eyes, a solemn look appeared in her enormous figure, and had it not been for the gentle trembling of her coriaceous wings, and the dancing of her hard strads of white fur, her stillness would have made her seem as a smooth looking piece of the small rocky hill.
The dargon's eyes snapped open and her head stood up abruptly as soon as the gentle and peaceful silence was broken by the calm, slow yet powerful flapping of wings. The night sky flashed with the pressence of a copper blaze, the quickest of all dragons flashed before her eyes like the flame of a comet, with an intense flaming red colour, yet not the blood crimson but the glittering copper. The smaller creature, friends since birth, landed next to her, gripping the rocks firmly with the hook like claws that crowned her legs. The copper beast looked at the animal with worry, and, in her black orbs, appeared a look of worry upon sensing the aura of tension irradiating from the silver figure.
"what did the winds tell you Kenta?" inquired the copper lizard in a shaky voice.
"Oro, our cousins and our allies could not stop the hords of Chaos, those who have not been killed have scattered seeking for safety. The army is moving quickly, unstoppable, it wants to reach the Apakoh Valley!" explained the silver dragon calmly, never letting her frustration destroy her integrity.
"our males…" started Oro fearing the response to be heard, letting her much more impulsive character being controlled by the fear of having lost her beloved male.
"Fireflash, your mate, Selvmoon, my beloved male, and Darknight, Kisanths noble couple, have all perished valiantly in hopes of saving us and our hatchlings from a sure extinction!" concluded Kenta equally calmly, ignoring the gentle and salty tear that sparkled in a trail down her scaly cheek.
"NO! Fireflash!" Oro roared furiously but pityfully torwards the black and clear skies, feeling the urge to fly in search of her beloved mate and father of her only child.
"Oro! Relax!" growled Kenta menacingly, staring at the copper dragong with such an intenge and severe gaze it was enough to make the animal relax. Oro had always respected her cousin's integration and calm upon crossing tough times, even now when the darkness spread across the world, and the glare received was enough to make her feel a current of frozen liquid flowing through her, blooming from that love and respect.
"I have a mission for you!" explained Kenta.
Upon hearing such words Oro's attention snapped torwards the still quiet and calm beast, still perched on her stone, passive and still like a fragment of rock.
"it is known between the sorcerers that there are seven dimensions!" started explaining Kenta, "and some families of different species have gathered all their savings in order to save themselves, to be transported by such sorcerers to another dimension, away from Chaos. We do not own any wealth to offer, but our own nobility, as Dragons.Oro, take Silvane, Onyx, Koe and Blaze and send them torwards safety, it's all we can do now!" Kenta explained never looking at Oro.
Without another word, nor questioning her posibilities, nor inquiring about the expected future, Oro leapt off the rock and flapped her way torwards the nests, where she would pick the three dragons, the silver dragon of ice, the copper dragon of fire and the velvet blue dragon of fire and thunder, son of a Moon Dragon and a Nit Kyrum, one of the most powerful dragons of the dark side.
Kenta stayed perched on her rock, observing the horizon, watching the dark way that roared in a numb tremble against the tense and penetrating silence of a night that visioned the pouring of noble and pure blood. She resigned to the obvious, observing the approaching army of furious beast, men that were not men, nor lizards, but a mixture, riding on horses that were nor horses nor dragons, with a crown of scales coursing their backs and necks, a hard skull that formed a beak and enormous, leathery wings. They were many, many against her, Kisanth, their velvet blue friend, and Oro, the hyperactive copper dragon, their odds were zero to thousand.
The battle was at it's climax, the two females, one silver, the other night blue with sharp features, fought bravely against the magickal strength the Dark Knights carried, magick in the shape of lances, the Dragonbanes. Kenta's side was bleeding profusely from a cut inflicted by one of the Dragonbanes, the long gash tore her hard and beautiful scales, and crimson liquid stained her argent side. Kisanth oppened her sharp jaws and released a current of electric magick that stunned and burnt several knights and their draconish horses. A Dragonbane crossed Kisanth's forearm and the beast emmited a loud shriek filled with pain, her wound burnt as if it had been slashed with a burning coal. It was a small distraction, but enough since the boss of those hords of darkness trespassed the night dragon with his long lance, straight in the chest. Kisanth simply stared wide eyed at the emptyness of space, then she collapsed to move no more.
Kenta stared at the dragon with grief, and her decition was taken, she knew what to do for the safety of all Becenykan. Without questioning her safety, and placed her heart in the well being of the whole planet, she closed her eyes, feeling the darkness flowing all around herself, as the Chaos Knights galloped around her, staring curiously at her passiveness. Under her breath a chant was echoing into her mind, and flowing gently into the wind, spirit of which eagerly and pleasantly spread her words to the athmosphere. In a few seconds the darkness subsided, only to be attacked, defeated and replaced by the gentleness and purity of a feeling of light and magick, the spirits of nature aided her word.
Under the horror of those creatures of evil, Kenta had started to glow with the brightness of a light so inmaculate it was above all comparison. Kenta's body spread like a blanket all over the battlefield, yet it was a body no more but an ent of light and purity, of safety, a vaccine against darkness. It was not long until all Becenykan saw the skies, tinted previously with the crimson of blood, irradiate with the brightness of safety. The gods had returned, would say some,while others praised the sorcerers. Only few, all creatures of Becenykan, knew the sacrifice of a fine, argent dragon, all friends of Kenta, Kisanth and Oro, all of whom had perished in the battlefield. Oro not long after saving the precious hatchlings, in the sharpness of a Dragonbane.
A whirlpool of colours flashed before the viewer's eyes, colours brilliant like stars, yet with the calmness and paleness of the profound waters of a jungle pond, clear and chrystaline. Water, pale blue and violet danced all around the Viewer, flashes of brightness echoed in the distance, sparkled like briliant stars: an orb, the moon? No, brghter than the moon as it flashed with lightning brilliance. The Viewer was dashing across the gravityless athmosphere, approaching the orb of light, or was the orb growing? No, the bubbles of pale blue, the dawn violets of dew, and the pale greens of nature flashed before her eyes in a tunnel engulfing and representing all the colours of life. Shutting the eyes tightly she entered the orb, which was now as large as a beast of ancestral times, and the energy surged across the body, whichever body it was.
Oppening the eyes sh observed the surroundings, forest, valleys transformed for human agricultural needs, humans surounding the Viewer, humans so small the Viewer was sure a simple hit with a hand could kill the lot of them. They looked like peasants, dressed in the antique clothes of medieval times, the third state, the farmers and workers of nobility. Armed with nothing more than their working tools, their eyes flashed with hathred, their fists were clenched menacingly, and their faces were contornted in a horrible frown of darkness, of bad memories, suffering and resignation.
"how dare you return? Your lot brought the death to this place 18 years ago" snarled a man with a face so similar to a wild boar's, it was surprising he didn't grunt instead of speak.
"me?" gasped the Viewer, yet, to the surprise of it, the voice was an understandable growl, maleish, yet coherent.
"get him!" barked a second peasant raising a fist which clenched a shovel.
Fear and shock took control of the creatures body, trenbling all over and not knowing what to do, memories flashed before the eyes of the Viewer, thoughts full of simpathy, nostalgy and love. Flashes of beings the Viewer knew well appeared before the eyes, a young lady with violet hair as smooth as silk, a handsome boy with a noble look in the bright blue eyes, a pretty young lady with short, caramel hair and features as innocent as angelic.
A copper flash emerged from the ocean of pure green trees, an image that brought fear to the villagers, "she's back!" screamed one of the villagers rushing to hide in the hay insecurity of their wooden houses. The flaming beast, a copper female, flew torwards the Viewer, "this way!" her roar echoed in the area, overcoming the frightened yells of the ant like creatures before the two beasts. Viewer leapt up to the sky and flew after the copper dreagon, thinking that she was the most beautiful creature it had ever seen.
"why are they scared of you and not me? I'm bigger!" commented Viewer in that maleish roar.
"I happen to have threatened them, burning their pastures and so if they didn't allow me some peace. Turns out humans all around Becenykan say we are guilty about the war against Chaos, only because the Sinister Dragons turned to Chaos side, but they do not see the difference between Synister Dragons and Elemental Dragons like us!" the female commented never stopping her flight, the sun licking the copper scales in a way that was very arousing to the Viewer.
"interesting, and what is your name?" inquired Viewer keeping the thoughts away from the female dragon, and the seductive way of whipping her tail.
"Koeya, but call me Koe, and you?!" Koe purred lowering her head lightly, and keeping her wings tense in a hover.
"my name…." Started the Viewer, yet the sound and the image started to blend, to fuse, a foggy mist covered the vision of Viewer and soon all was pale with fog.
Caramel eyes snapped open, breathing laboured, shock still pressing at the heart of a young, 18 year old female. She was sweating all over, the reality of the dream still punping imtensely in her mind, dancing brightly into her mind.
"those dreams, they are not dreams, they are the livings of someone!" said her voice, hoarse due to the hours of sleep, yet clearly female, and very melodious.
"she must now!" came a muffled voice from the depths of the house.
The young female stood up, strands of long, caramel hair flowing in tangles over her fine shoulders, gently her toes carried her torwards the door. The reflection of stray, weak rays of pale, dull light reached her room, slythering past the corridor in weak movements, unable to access some of the darkest corners of the long, and furnished area.
"it's hard, it's not like any other child, don't you see? It was a river bank, she'll never understand!" exclaimed a female voice, easily recognizable for being the woman's mother.
"Kari must know she was found in a river bank, by the Ryuu River!" Exclaimed the man nor furiously yet desperately.
