Chapter 1.2
I raise my triangular shaped head and allow the light breeze to brush against my white wings, my scales shimmering like thousands of small diamonds.
This place is very much different from Earth, I think.
I extend my white wings and fly to the closest peak that I can find, which happens to be a nearby tree. Once there I land on a branch that will support my weight and then I raise my head to the point that I'm looking at the sunrise directly. My yellow eyes shimmering with the spark of life, I watch the sun rise into the sky.
I wonder if my Master is safe, I think as I remember how it happened.
Master I'm coming, I scream as I dive toward him.
No, Finca stop! He shouts sending a light ball crashing into the Great Leviathan.
Foolish human, the Leviathan snarled. You shall pay for that! 'By night and flame and shining rock, open thou thy hidden lock, send thy spirit into thee, to erase his memory.'
A huge portal opens up dragging him into it. I dove toward it blasting it with shadows but it did no good. The last thing I saw was the Leviathan roaring in pleasure.
Suddenly a nearby dead branch cracks behind me. I turn around snarling and prepared to fight into a human's face. I draw back as I realize that this male means me no harm by the energy I sense flowing from him or his aura if you wish to call it that.
Forgive me, I say, projecting my thoughts straight into his mind. I was simply acting upon instinct. I did not mean to harm you.
"It's no problem," He replies. "My name is Murtagh."
Weird name, I think to myself.
"Your color? Is it really pure white?" Murtagh asks.
Of course it is, I reply. Why would it not be?
"It's just I've never seen a pure white dragon before," He replies.
I understand. It must be hard to believe that I'm pure white when you've never really seen one before, I reply, my yellow eyes shimmering slightly as I jump off the branch.
"Hey wait up!" Murtagh yells as he tries to follow me but gets caught on an out-sticking limb.
I quietly laugh as I fly up to where he is stuck.
Always the same thing with you humans. You try to follow us, to protect us from danger, and instead we have to save you, I laugh.
"It's not funny," Murtagh says as he grabs hold of two of my ivory spikes running along my back.
Well it might not be to you but it's hysterically funny to me being a dragon and all, I snort.
Finally, after about an hour and a lot of pulling, I finally get him down.
"I suppose that I'm in your debt, white dragon," He says.
Yes. Trust me when the time comes to repay me, you shall know, I reply.
"Are you sure?" Murtagh asks.
Yes I am. Oh forgive me! I forget to tell you my name. My name is Finca, I reply.
"Well then Finca I suppose we can just stay here for a while and chat."
I stare at him. Why does he not understand? My master is in grave danger and yet this human wants to stand here chitchatting all day. I snarl at him.
"What's wrong Finca?" Murtagh asks.
You humans are all alike. You care nothing for my own race and little for any other.
"Finca if it's about me questioning you earlier then forgive me," Murtagh tries to explain.
I snarl again with hatred.
The human race was doomed the moment it sat foot here, for nothing but evil exists here, I snarl.
"Please Finca, believe me. I did not mean what I said earlier," Murtagh tries to explain to me.
I snarl again at him. Murtagh glaces at me once more before he finds a rock and sits on it.
Perhaps you wish for me to demonstrate my abilities to you, I say after I've calmed down slightly.
"Sure," He replies.
I flap my wings and gain attitude. Then, as I summon all my strength, I blast the tree I was on with my Shadow Blast. It destroys the tree leaving nothing but burned grass and several nearby bare trees. Murtagh gets to his feet and stares at me, his eyes wide in shock.
"That tree? You destroyed it with just one blast!"
That's right, I snort as I return to the ground. Now let us find shelter and food for I'm hungry.
"Very well Finca I'll see what I can do," Murtagh replies as he walks off and I trail behind.
