Chapter 1: The girl with two powers
"Gorgon, where are you?" A girl asked, calling for her mentor. She was 8 years old, black hair with sapphire eyes. She wore a sleeveless shirt and knee-length pants. "Gorgon? You here?" Walking around, she spotted something. "Aha...GOT YOU!" She pounced on the item and giggled as a sleepy dragon's head looked at her. She caught his tail and grinned.
"Child, you realize that it's morning and I need my sleep." He looked at her, topaz colored eyes squinting because of the harsh sunlight.
"Gorgon, you promise to teach and train me today..." The girl pouted, hands folded across her chest. Her sapphire eyes looked pleading into his eyes and the dragon smiled. He was sandy colored, lots of spikes covered his body. Two horns protruded from his head and a horn rested on top of his nose. Mid-size wings and a spiked tail, this dragon isn't much of a fighter but, if you make him mad you better watch out.
"What is it gonna be today? Something new right?" Gorgon scratched his ear with a hind leg. The girl started listing items off her fingers.
"We did Dragon's Roar, Dragon Claw, Wing Attack, Crushing Fang, Iron Horn and Rock Talon."
"Just one more techniques and that's that. Watch carefully." Gorgon lumbered towards a huge boulder, about the size of a huge chicken egg. Rushing forward, he curled up into a ball and started picking up speed, the spikes on his back kicked up small dust clouds. He struck the boulder with a strong impact, shattering it into little tiny pebbles.
"That was Earth Dragon's Horn Ram, you attack your opponent with a strong horn. It is best to use this attack when your in range. Now you try it." He indicated with a claw towards another boulder. The girl narrowed her eyes in concentration and rushed forward. Tightening herself in a tight ball, she gained speed and power. Nearing the rock, she unraveled herself and struck the boulder with her right foot. The impact shattered the boulder but not to tiny pebbles.
"Ugghhhh..." She whimpered, clutching her leg as it tingled with numbness and pain.
"Practice makes perfect. Try again." He placed 5 more boulders and watched his child attempt the Earth Dragon's Horn Ram once more. 1st boulder had a few cracks, 2nd and 3rd had more cracks and the 4th one had even more cracks. The girl stared at the last boulder, tired and weak.
"If you can't shatter this boulder, then I forbid you to use this technique any further." Gorgon stated, shaking his head with disappointed. Seeing the dragon shake his head like that, the girl felt useless. She felt like she had disappointed him. Gritting her teeth in frustration, she roared with determination and unleashed the Horn Ram, shattering the boulder completely until nothing remained. She breathed heavily and looked at the dragon.
"...Impressive." He growled. "Never forget that feeling. That is where your true power and strength comes from."
"Yeah..." She whispered as she looked at her right leg. She used that leg to crushed the boulder when she performed Horn Ram and at the beginning, it felt numb and painful. That last attack didn't hurt one bit, her right leg crashed through the boulder like it was paper. She smiled.
"Let's see what Shiyu is up too." Gorgon lifted the girl up onto his back and made his way down to a huge lake. They stopped and leaned over the bank, looking at their reflection.
"Here he comes, stay back." Gorgon held out a claw as the surrounding area turned ghastly dark. The sun turned black and the trees turned into twigs. Looking out, the girl saw a dark shape walking over, its own footsteps touching the water's murky surface.
"Gorgon..." The voice whispered. "What do you want?"
"Shiyu that's not how you treat a friend and to answer your question, I have brought you your pupil." Gorgon replied, ruffling his wings a bit. Shiyu is Gorgon's best friend. His cool demeanor and noble attitude isn't for trifling. When Gorgon found the girl and became her adoptive father, Shiyu decided to be the girl's guardian. Describing this dragon is a bit...hard. First off, he doesn't have a physical appearance, meaning you can't really touch him. He has red eyes and a ghostly figure, like a serpents. A blue necklace hangs around his neck...how it manages to stay on him is a mystery.
"Excellent, it's time for her training to proceed to the next level." The voice said, excitedly.
"She's all yours." Gorgon pushed the girl forward. She looked at the looming head with red eyes.
"You're here. Let's begin immediately." A ghastly claw wrapped itself around her body and the dragon retreated into the forest, leaving Gorgon by the lakeshore.
Deep within the forest...
"Here's a good place." Shiyu's voice announced as the dragon came to a halt. The girl tumbled out of his grip and watched the dragon curl up on a rock.
"Proceed." The dragon gestures.
"With what?"
"With what she says..." The dragon snorted. "Your training of course. What did we learn last time?"
"Phantom Dragon's Roar." The girl stated simply.
"Anything else?"
"Anything else he says.." The girl snorted and listed the things off her fingers. "Phantom Talon, Phantom Kick and Phantom Fist."
"Hmmmmmm...one more technique then. Watch..." He sat up, poised and then he vanished from view. It was like he evaporated in the air.
"Huh?" The girl walked over to the rock, looked at it carefully then climbed on top. Nothing. She didn't feel anything. "Where did you go?"
"Up here." the voice whispered faintly and she looked up as the dragon descended from the air, curling up on the ground. "Now you try it...Phantom Mirage."
"Phantom...Mirage?"
"The ability to disappear from your opponent's eyesight and appear wherever you want: front, back, up or down."
"Cool! Let's see..." The girl sat crossed legged and concentrated. After 5 minutes, her body shimmered and vanished from view. The dragon blinked once to make sure the girl disappeared for good, prodding the area where the girl sat before.
"How was that?" The girl's voice asked but her physical appearance was nowhere to be found.
"Very good...you may come out now." Shiyu replied.
"Teehee." The girl surfaced from the ground, her feet planted on the ground firmly.
"That's all for training for today. Time to go back." Shiyu grabbed the girl and they returned to where Gorgon waited by the lake shore.
"Did she do fine?" Gorgon asked.
"Like a true Dragon Slayer." Shiyu nodded his head.
"That's my little Lexi." Gorgon chuckled, ruffling the child's hair. Lexi smiled as she walked between the two dragons. Life was blissful and she didn't want it any other way as she lived with her adoptive dad and guardian.
7 years later...
"Gorgon? Shiyu? Are you here?" A 15 year old Lexi called out from the cave in which she slept in. Her black hair falls down past her shoulders and she was now a mid-size build, about 5 foot 8. Trudging outside, she stumbled upon two items laying in front of the cave. One was a yellow muffler, the design was beautiful, the other item:Blue goggles...Shiyu's favorite color. She picked up the items as the wind played with her hair.
"Are you...not with me anymore? Why did you guys leave all of a sudden?" Her hands trembled as she tried to hold in the tears. "TELL ME WWWHHHYYYYYY?!" She let out a ferocious roar, kept within her chest for the longest time. Her roar reached the skies above and echoed off some mountain range. After a while, the sound died in her throat and she stood there, silently sobbing. She dried her eyes and vanished back into the cave, popping back out with a backpack. She wrapped the yellow muffler around her neck and placed the goggles over her forehead. She rolled boulders in front of the cave to seclude it from view. Lexi had a feeling that she might not return anymore.
Where am I going to go? She wondered out loud. How am I suppose to survive now? She shook her head. I can't think negatively. Gorgon and Shiyu must be somewhere in the world, I know we'll meet again. Right now, I have to find the nearest town. Maybe there'll be something for me to do. She smiled and hurried down the path, leaving behind her most cherished memories and childhood fantasies.
