Chapter 002: A Ballad of Being
An open plain, a soft wind was blowing through the tall grass. A big white moon shined down, coating the field in a bright pale light. After the world had been violently shook and its continents had began to drift apart - all caused by a dark purple dragon named Malefor - a young dragon had nearly given his life to restore this world back to its former glory.
And to former glory, I mean former glory.
The world now seemed brand new. Everything glowed under the moonlight and danced in the wind.
That was until...
An open plain, the wind gone. It stopped its soft playing in the grass. The grass, now a dark brown colour and slowly changing to black, lay flat on the ground, dead. The moon seemed to hide under a dark thick, black fog that seemed to devour everything is its path.
The ground shook... it shook again and again... A large appeared. This crack grow bigger and bigger until it swallowed the dead plain...
"What is your name?"
The dragon turned to the human. The closed cave they were in had heated up. The human girl was again sitting against the wall across the silver dragon. The dragon had also started moving. He was now upright, laying like a cat. His tail was moving back and forth. The golden half moon object lay between them. "Name?"
She nodded. He grinned "You first human?"
"I am Rose Williams" she said "Now can I hear your name?"
"I am Ciam" The dragon frowned as it tried to think of something. He then asked "Where do you come from?" He added "I have never seen a creature like you before"
"Back at cha'"
A small smile crossed her face and he gaze turned down to her feet. The girl was wearing a red shirt and faded blue jeans. She had on her favourite pair of sneakers. Her smile faded.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing"
The dragon said nothing and neither did the girl. They sat in silence. The dragon kept his dark blue eyes on her. The human had brown 'fur' on her head but the rest of her body was pale. She was wearing her garments most likely to cover up her furless state.
"What?"
The dragon said nothing. He turned his gaze away from the girl. "When I am able to move again. I'll get us out of here"
"Great"
