On the Continent of the Dragon, a massive system of caverns is located on the tip of the Dragon's tail. The caves are position deep underground beneath an enormous lush forest. The caves' walls are unnaturally smooth, with ancient symbols and runes carved across the walls. The in only source of light in the subterranean chambers is the faint glimmering light radiated by the gems of different size embed in the roof and walls. The gems came in 4 different colours: red, blue, yellow and green.
In one of the caverns, the light was brighter than the others. In this chamber was a gigantic mountain of gems of all 4 colours surround by shining symbols and runes on floor, that forms an array. The mountain of gems is projecting luminous light bring the whole cave into the light. On top of the mountain of gems was an egg. The egg large and wide, as large as a chicken (around 1 feet/12inches/30cm). The egg look like a masterpiece of art as there is lines all over its silver shell forming runes like the runes on the floor. However, the runes on the shell looks much more complex, vibrating a majestic and ancient vibe.
The egg is currently glowing, radiating a soft silver light. Slowly gems closest to the egg begin to shriek until it depletes. The shrieking gems emits mists in the colour of said gem. The mists immediately begin to flow to the egg as like it is a magnet. As the mists touches the egg, it disappears completely leaving no trace. The process is extremely slow. However, as more and more mist make contact with the egg, the soft silver light being emit become more lucent and bright.
Thousands of years have passed. Now there is only a few gems left and are shirking fast. The light being emit by the egg is now blindingly bright. The runes on the shell lit up in bright white light. As the last few gems deplete and their mists absorb by the egg. The gleaming runes and symbols surrounding deplete gems and egg flashes and then completely loses their light. Suddenly, the egg that have stay still for thousands of years begin to move. It wobbles and shakes as cracks begin to form on its majestic shell. More and more cracks begin to form, then something burst out from the egg shattering the egg completely.
If any Human or Faunus was here then they would be in complete shook. The 'something' that burst out from the egg was a dragon, a specie that have been extinct for tens of thousands of years and have become legends and myths among people.
The new born dragon was already around the size of a chicken. It has majestic deep silver scales that shines under the lights from the gems from the walls. It stands on four paws with pointy claws on all limbs. Two silver horns come out from the top of its head. Two small wings cover in light silver scale grow out from its back. The new born slowly open its glittering golden eyes to look at the world for the first time. The small dragon suddenly opens its mouth revealing razer-sharp teeth and tries to roar. The key word is try as the young dragon could only create cute cat like meow noise from its mouth.
After multiply tries but failing to create a powerful roar, a loud grumble from its belly and the feeling of starvation stop the young dragon from trying again. The young dragon desperately scans around the subterranean chamber, looking for food. Its sight stops on the gems embed in the walls, there is a strange feeling in the back of its mind telling the young dragon the gems are comestible.
The young dragon quickly moves to one of the smaller gems on the wall. Using its sharp claws, the young dragon cautiously digs out the gem. The gem was red colour at the size of a pinkie. Looking at the red gem, the young dragon had an urge to swallow it whole. It did just that, the young dragon open its mouth and drop the whole gem into its mouth. A burning sensation abruptly appear in the young dragon's abdomen. It was incredibly warm and hot like chill. There was no pain, instead the young dragon could feel a large amount of energy flow out from its abdomen. The feeling of starvation instantly gone, being replace by complete fullness in its stomach. The energies begin to enhance and improve its body. A weariness suddenly sweeps past the young dragon's mind and body as the energies continue their work on its body. Slowly closing its eyes, the young dragon drift into slumber.
The wizard watches a young maiden tend to his garden in amazement. The young's astonishing kindness and good will brings a grin to the wizard's face. Then, the wizard felt something unusual though his magic. It was familiar but, the wizard couldn't remember what it is. Fearing the worst his body begin to tense, smile disappearing from his face. Abruptly, the wizard relaxes after figuring out what it was. The wizard's smile reappears on his face. Quickly, returns his gaze back to the cheerful maiden tending to his garden.
When Salem killed the last dragons, the wizard lost both an ally and a friend. He was forced to fight Salem alone for tens of thousands of years. Now he was no longer alone in this war. For now, he won't look for his new ally, knowing the new born dragon need time to quietly grow. Time, it won't have if the new born is with him.
His smile saddens as he thought of his dragon friends he failed to save. He makes a promise to himself and his dead friends. He will guide and protect the new born dragon when its ready to appear in front of Salem and the world.
The young dragon's life has been rinse and repeat since its birth. The young dragon's timetable exclusively sleep until hunger strikes her, dig for gems, swallow the gems, tiredness would sweep over its body and mind it would sleep while its body absorb the gems' energy. This cycle began ever since the young dragon hatched from the egg. Every time the cycle was repeated, the young dragon could feel its body became stronger. The young dragon is now just slightly smaller than a Beowulf. It can feel its muscle growing and becoming denser. It can feel its scale becoming more durable and heavy. The most surprising and weird changes has to be feeling the energies in the gems and air. The young dragon can now easily sense those energies. It even once accidently commanded the energies in the air once, creating small braze of wind in the underground cavern. This sense and control of the energies has been growing along with the young dragon's physical powers.
The young dragon's life recently begins to change. As its strength grow, weariness no longer hit the young dragon immediate after every meal. The young dragon begins to explore the underground cavern more. The cavern was massive, it took the young dragon multiple cycles (tiredness would still come after a while awake after meal) to check out the entire place. The cavern around the size of 10,000 square metres (2.5 acres) in the shape of a perfect square other than a small corridor leading out. The small corridor lead to a series of large underground carven like the one the young dragon was hatched in. The young dragon has already explored some of the caves, but the caverns seem endless.
It moves joyfully though a corridor with a grin on its lizard like head, looked around with excited golden eyes. Curiosity filled its mind at the prospect of exploring a new cavern. It wondered what it will find in this cavern. Its' thought stopped at the thought and sigh, knowing most likely there will be nothing new in this cavern like every other one. Though exploring new places is still cool. There will mostly be more runes on the walls and more gems… "And maybe even red ones" the young dragon squealed in delight.
Don't get it wrong, all the gems taste good. But nothing is yummy as those red burning delights. The yellow ones are a close second with their explosive deliciousness. However, the yellow gems' taste is short lived, as it just like an explosion is strong and bright but brief. The flame of the red hotness leaves a long satisfying chilly-burning aftertaste that could be fault for hours.
Due to the obvious favoritism, red gems have already depleted in the caverns the young dragon already explored. The yellow gems stockpile is also low. It can't wait to get more red and yellow gems.
The young dragon lost in its thought of delicious gems didn't see rock branch right in front of it. Walking right into the rock branch, hit itself in the head felling to the side onto a rock slide going down. It let out a yelp as it rapidly slides down toward the unknown. It quickly digs its claws into the floor, hoping to slow down the momentum.
The speed begins to slowly slowdown ultimately the young dragon would stop. But, it didn't bring any relief to it. It opens its mouth in panic, seeing where the slide end, it ends at a cliff only a small distance away. Hastily, it digs into the floor deeper and harder to increase the deacceleration speed. It stretches its wings to flap it to the opposite direction. Quickly the sliding speed slowdown, it stops on the edge of the cliff leading to a dark abyss.
The young dragon sighed in relief. Feeling of respite flooded its mind.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The young dragon frozen in place. Slowly looking down, it can see cracks forming around its claws. The cracks spread like wildfire across the small cliff. "need to move" it quickly realized.
Before it could move, the cliff crumbled.
The young dragon let out the cry of panic before falling into the abyss.
Boom!
The young dragon fell on hard on its butt, creating a small crater around it. The young dragon let out a painful groan as it felt massive pain bottom. Though nothing seemed broken due to its strong scale and dense muscles.
The young dragon very humanly rubbed its bottom with its paw to reduce the pain. Slowly, the pain died.
Finally deciding to look around, the young dragon took a deep breath to swallow the nervous feeling on the back of its mind and stood up from the crate it created.
The surrounding is covered in complete darkness. There are no gems on any wall. Though it is not problem for the young dragon considering it have perfect night vision, able to see easily in the dark.
The pit the young dragon landed in is large. It is must be at least 1km wide and long.
It immediately decided to find a way out. It quickly dismissed the going out the way it came. The cliff where it fell must be at least few dozen metres above. It still hasn't mastered flying due to spending its whole life in underground cavern where there is nowhere to practice. And there is no way it can climb out.
Finally, it decided to look around to find a new way out. After around 30 minutes of searching in the darkness, it finally found a corridor leading out. Seeing there is no other option, it follows the corridor. It hopes for a way back to the top caverns, but some part of hoped it will lead to somewhere new. Somewhere the young dragon has never been before. Somewhere that have new things to discover. Maybe even something alive other than it. And maybe…. Maybe be even more red chilly hotness. The young squealed in delight, excited at this 'adventure'.
Suddenly, there was a light, a light at end of the tunnel. The young dragon rubbed its eyes with its paw to make sure it is hallucination. Then, it spirited forward in excitement toward the light. Wanting to see and explore.
Swiftly it arrived at the end of the tunnel. It opened its mouth in shock and looked with astonishment. In front of it was a massive temple.
The temple was massive, seemingly bigger than its birth cavern. The ground unlike other caverns are not just rocks and stone, instead there is pavements. There are many massive pillars around the temple decorated with images of dragons with many different colours. There is many gems and runes around on the walls. Many statues of dragons in different colours was placed around the temple. However, it was the shining golden dragon statue in the mild of the temple that attracted the young dragon's attention.
The young dragon stared at the golden statue, unable to move its eye. Like is magic gluing the its eyes to the statue. Before the young dragon noticed, it is already right in front of the statue. Nervousness flooded the young dragon's mind as it stared at the statue. Taking a big breath, the young dragon slowly placed its paw on the head of the statue. As soon as the young dragon's paw touched the statue, the golden statue glowed in blinding light. The young dragon gives a yelp of surprise as light hit it. Everything went white.
Beacon Tower
The headmaster of the prestigious beacon Academy, professor Ozpin sighed as he took sip of his coffee. He has just returned from a tiring trip to the docks. He had to strike a deal with the VCPD for them to discharge his students.
Even though his tired, the thought of those trouble makers brought a smile on his face. Team RWBY just in their first year here at beacon, is already fighting evil and trying to help people. His students have good hearts and are filled with potential. They will make fine huntress in the future.
However, the thought of evil brought another tiring groan out of Ozpin's mouth. Salem is making moves and Ozpin have no idea what she is planning. Qrow has found out Salem have some new minions. No doubt the ones that are responsible for Amber, but they still have no idea who they are.
The thinking about Salem overs at the end brought him to the new born dragon. "well not new born anymore" Ozpin chucked at the thought. Hundreds of years have passed since he felt the magical disturbance of the dragon. He wanted to meet the dragon, but he knows he needs to wait at least until it unlocks its dragon legacy.
As Ozpin slowly strolled toward his offices, he suddenly felt something, something magical, he gasps in shock as he quickly run toward the air dock. He felt the young dragon finally accessing its dragon legacy. The young dragon is finally ready, Ozpin grinned as he finally will meet the dragon. Quickly Ozpins smile turned serious. He knows he will need to be quick as their enemy would have felt the magic disturbance too. He cannot fail, not again.
Salem's tower
Salem dropped her glass of wine in shock. wine spilled everywhere. The shock on Salem's face quickly turning confusion then just as quick turn into anger. She known that feeling even after all those years. The feeling of her long-term rival, the dragons. She must have missed some when she exterminated their prideful and ignorant race.
A dark smile appeared on Salem's face. Doesn't mutter, she will finish what she begin today. Salem looked at the seer next to her. "All Grimm on the East of the Dragon continent converge on this location" Salem ordered as she transferred the location of the magic disturbance to the seer. Though the magical disturbance, Salem know the dragon is weak.
Her Grimm will be enough to kill the beast.
Salem now only need to wait for the good news.
