When Tyrant turned around, he was shocked. Before him stood five enormous dragons! Any other boy of his age would have run away screaming, but he was excited. He had never met these spirits before, and he was always excited when he got to meet new spirits. There was a blue dragon, a black dragon, a green dragon, a red-ish dragon, and a gray-blue-ish dragon.
"Hi, nice to meet all of you" Tyrant exclaimed cheerfully. "My name is Tyrant, but you can call me Ty. What are your names?"
If Tyrant could get anymore excited he did, because it was then that the green, red, and gray-blue dragons began to glow and turned into people. Tyrant thought for a second that if he got anymore excited, his eyes would pop out of his head. He quickly forgot that train of thought, as the man who was the green dragon began to speak.
"Greetings young one, my name is Timeaus" said the green dragon-man. "I am was once a knight of the great city of Atlantis."
"Cool" exclaimed Tyrant. The red dragon-man spoke next.
"My name is Hermos, good to meet you squirt" he said cheerfully. "Like my friend Timeaus, I too was a knight of Atlantis."
"Sweet" laughed Tyrant. The final of the three who turned into people spoke.
"My name is Critias, pleased to meet you" the gray-blue dragon-man said formally, but with a smile. "As I'm sure you are expecting, I too was a knight of Atlantis."
Tyrant began giggling uncontrollably. He was so excited that there were three knights, in full armor, and two dragons in his room! This was the most exciting day EVER!
"We came here with our two dragon allies to explain something to you" Timeaus said as he knelt down to look Tyrant in the eye. "Many years ago, we battled a great evil to protect this world. At that time, we thought we had seen the last of a powerful force known as 'The Seal of Orichalcos'. A few years ago, however, the seal appeared in our world once again. This time, though, it vanished after a scroll dropped out of it. On that scroll was a great prophecy."
"The prophecy read as such" continued Critias, also knelt down to look Ty in the eye. "When again the stone appears in the world of man, the darkness will stir and the Enemy of Old shall again rise. When its chosen one encounters the darkness, the true power of the stone shall shine. Only when the true nature of its power is revealed will the enemy be slain. Dark and Light. Destruction and Creation. Life and Death. These will frequent the path of the chosen one. Only when awakened to his destiny will his gift become a power."
"We took a long time before we decided on what it meant" stated Hermos. "We didn't know where to start searching for the 'chosen one' the prophecy spoke of, but then we began to hear stories among those we guard, stories of a boy with who they would play the day away and laugh the night past."
"Dragons will only appear to ones who so wield their power" began Timeaus, "or to one whom they can trust completely. Among the most careful of dragons, are the young."
"You mean like that little black dragon that stayed in its egg" asked Tyrant with a puzzled look.
"Yes, that is the baby form of our large black friend here" laughed Hermos as he patted the side of the black dragon. "Old Red-Eyes here is one of my closest allies, and a real friendly guy after you get to know him."
"Wait, what about the small white dragon that kept its shell on its head" asked Tyrant, intrigued.
"Ahhhh, you must have met the young form of Blue-Eyes here" said Critias with a smile. "Blue-Eyes is a loyal and powerful ally, and one of my best assistants in battle."
"Cool, I never thought I would get to meet the spirits of the two great dragons" giggled Tyrant. "I've heard so many stories about you two from the other spirits, and from people in town when they talk about some famous duelists."
"Tyrant, do you know what that necklace you wear is" asked Timeaus.
"My greatest treasure" Tyrant replied with a warm smile on his face. "Mamma and Papa gave it to me when I was little. They told me that, before I was born, it was their greatest treasure. They told me that their spirits would always be with me, so long as I wear this necklace."
"Well, that necklace has the core of the Orichalcos Stone in it" said Critias. "That is the stone from the prophecy. We believe you to be the one chosen by it."
"Cool" laughed Tyrant with a smile.
"Well, you should know that there are people who want to get that stone away from you" said Hermos solemnly. "They wouldn't hesitate to hurt you to aqui-."
Hermos was cut off when there was a scream from the other room. Tyrant spun on his heel and ripped the door open.
"Mamma" he yelled as he ran down the hall to where his parents would be.
Well, there's the second chapter. Most of these first few chapters were all written while I was bored on vacation, so expect errors that I haven't found yet. Also, anyone who would like to have a card (or card idea) put in this story, PM me. I'm open to suggestions and I might help me get later chapters out faster if I don't have to spend hours coming up with ideas for cards and then ironing out all the tiny bits about their effects.
Oh, yea, and the fact that I just shoe horned the Orichalcos into this will probably end up driving this story into the pits of tartarus. I, personally, really enjoyed that season (as it has only the second or third time where my favorite monster is summoned) and the characters it introduced (Valon is very fun). Oh, and when I was bored I used Magic Set Editor to create a WHOLE lot of Orichalcos cards. So that started ANOTHER fan fic that I still haven't gotten too far on. This one started because a friend suggested I take the main character from that other fic (Tyrant) and put him in here with the Orichalcos NOT being the main enemy.
I hope you guys enjoy this story and the others I do.
