This is going to be my new story and first story where everything is made up by me. Leave a review if you like it and enjoy.

Chapter 1: anger

The sun warmed her back as the clouds flew by below her. Relna's scales were yellow, almost golden as it reflected the light. Dragons were few these days for the humans had killed many of their souls. Dragons were immortal as long as their souls survived. If a body was killed or destroyed, a new one would be made by the Tree and the dragon would start back off as a hatchling but still retaining memories from past bodies. Relna was a new dragon soul, a very rare thing to happen for only dragons who had lived for a very long time knew the ways of making young and then once made, the knowledge would disappear from there minds never to be remembered again.

Relna relished the feeling of the wind moving over her body, a powerful and healthy body. She should be heading back soon, before the sun sets for the humans would be sure to attack her. She couldn't breathe fire yet as her body wasn't old enough so her only defence was her long claws and teeth.

Shouting came from below. Relna shivered as she recognised it as human sounds. Hopefully they wouldn't catch her up here but the magicians had an assortment of spells they could knock her from the sky.

The clouds underneath her thinned as she wheeled around back to the forest. A green carpet spread out below her, grassy hills looking like waves on an ocean. Figures were below her, pointing up at her.

She had been spotted.

A searing pain spread out along her left wing and she was forced to go down. The humans had learned about killing dragons souls as well as their bodies and she didn't want to die like that. The ground drew closer as she strained against the pain in her wing but eventually it got the better of her and she landed on the hard ground. Humans swarmed towards her, throwing a net over her. Relna struggled to get out but knew it was hopeless. The pain from before receded but it had done its job. The humans who welded long, sharp blades stood around her in case she tried to escape. Some even had sharp points on long poles. A man holding nothing but a stick for walking and wearing a black cloak came up the hill. He was the magician, he was the one to break her soul and kill her forever.

Breaking a dragons soul was complicated and so it would take lots of concentration.

As the man drew closer, a mighty roar trumpeted above her. Draal, a older dragon with lots of experience, dropped out of the sky. Scarlet flames poured out of his mouth and bathed the man in black who raised a hand to stop the fire.

"Relna, get out of here!"

The magician yelled at the guys around her and they instantly raised all their weapons. Draal landed next to the magician but he didn't move, his face looked pained and he was shaking.

The magician said something again and the men around her struck her with the weapons. The humans had been fighting the dragons for several years now and they knew all the weak places on dragons.

Waves of pain came from all the different places the blades had pierced. A half growl, half whimper came out of Relna's mouth and mercilessly the humans pulled out the blades and struck again. They pulled them out once more as Draal fell over with ropes wrapped around him. The blades plunged once more to her and the pain disappeared.

It was dark. She was trapped in a dark place with hard walls surrounding her. Using her small claws, she struck at the walls around her, frantically trying to get out of this prison. A stream of light came through as one of the walls cracked. Relna struck again and the wall gave way to a view of the world upside down. It was her first time getting a new body and it was a weird sensation.

Suddenly, the egg she was in dropped with her inside. It fell into the shallow pool surrounding the tree and her silvery head popped out of the water. The water was cold and she crawled out it. A couple of dragons were lying in a glade down the hill from where the Tree stood, another was in the air.

Fortunately for her, she had been able to get a new body since her soul was not broken. Sadly, Draal had not got a new body, he would never get another one ever again because he went to save her. The humans were a horrible race. Dragons would have been fine to live in peace and prosperity, but the humans had attacked the dragons, they were an enemy to the dragons and now were an enemy to Relna. They had killed Draal, so she would kill them for it.

First she had to get stronger though.
