Here's chapter 3. Thank you for the reviews. Most of my chapters will have flashbacks at the beginnings.
Flashback/ Mai's P.O.V
A 9 year old dragon Mai was standing at a cliff. Her parents Ignites and Selecta watched her and smiled. She looked over to them one more time then to her fragile brown wings.
"Are you sure this will work?" she had asked hesitantly "my wings are really small."
Ignites laughed and said "there the perfect size for you, and you'll loving flying once you learn."
Mai gulped again and Selecta huffed "Mai" she had said "you're going to have to learn at some point, but I don't think you want to learn how birds do."
Nodding nervously she stepped back around 15 steps then ran with all her might and threw herself over the cliff. The wind whipped her face, making her tear up slightly as she spread her small wings and hoped. The wind caught, and she was brought up and instincts took effect. She flapped as hard as possible to keep up with the wind. Adrenaline pumping she managed to catch and updraft and soared.
Roaring in dragon tongue with new found glee, Mai realized her mother and father were flying next to her. She smiled, this was a wonderful day.
End of flashback/ Mai's P.O.V
When we reached the cave everyone was still gawking. They were shocked about the family estate. I remember the first human mansion I ever saw, I gawked as much as they are. What I was truly worried about though was when they met my grandfather, the head. I knew he wouldn't put up a façade, and the thought of them finding out I wasn't human was going to make an interesting development.
It'd be dumb to say I wasn't scared though. In fact, I was terrified, but curious at the same time. One of my biggest hobbies was studying human reaction, and I doubt that any of them could be expecting this coming development. So I was free to assume that I'd learn how shock would look on their faces, and perhaps disgust as well. We all walked through the caves, and I listened to the sound of water dripping down. We reached the main house rather quickly, and I smiled at how it hadn't changed in the years since I'd last been there.
The house is an old wooden house in a large cave with a large cliff that went off towards the sea. It also has a hole in the roof so sunlight and moonlight could flow freely onto the house top, adding a mysterious quality.
"Wow, Mai" Ayako said "why didn't you tell us you had such an awesome house?"
I shrugged "never really thought of it" I replied truthfully.
Nothing more was said as we walked into the family room and everyone gasped. There stood the head man in our family, in his dragon form.
Naru's P.O.V
There sat the largest thing I've ever seen. It was as big as the room, with large wings that rose to the ceiling. It was completely silver, with green eyes. It had a long snout with spike like things attached to the head, as well as on the tips of the wings. Spikes also went all the way down its spine, onto its tail, which it was using to block the door. (A/N: if the description isn't good enough, go on Google pictures and look up "beautiful dragons" and it's the big silver dragon sitting in a rocky region.)
Blue Fire came out of its snout and it lowered its large head until it was to my level. Its eyes showed the knowledge of things I doubted that I could understand. Eventually the shock wore off and I said with as much determination as I could in from of something like this "what are you?"
It gave a roar, and for a moment I thought it would attack, and then I realized it was laughing. "In all my years" it said in a thundering boom of a voice, much like lightening "I have never met a human brave enough to ask me that question. I am what you call a dragon."
Everyone gasped except Mai, who for some reason looked calm. The dragon looked over to Mai and gave her what I could only guess was a smile "hello, my little granddaughter."
She gave a nod and said "you seem weak for some reason Grandfather. Fight too many demons? Or did someone challenge you for leadership?"
He gave her an odd look before saying "I see Selecta has given you her attitude."
She glared and said with venom "I'm surprised you even speak of your daughter. After all, you did nothing but watch as she was killed."
Everyone, including me, was watching her in shock. This was her head of her home? Just why was it a different species then? Why isn't she scared out of her skin?
He watched us for a moment then said "I'm guessing you never told them of your bloodline. Why didn't you? It'd be much easier than for whenever you went to a gather to tell them where you were."
She answered with "I saw no point in telling them until now that I'm not human, but a dragon."
I could feel my eyes widen, what was she talking about? I look at Mai to see something I never saw before, a sad look in her eyes as she watched us all react.
Mai's P.O.V
I saw Naru's eyes widen as he franticly searched my face, as though looking for the sign of joking in my face or eyes. Knowing he would find none, I watched, resigned, as everyone stared at me and my Grandfather.
I looked at them and said "I never told you all because I expected this, and I know you'll hate me. In the ancient code of dragons long before me or eve my grandfather, there was a law placed in our code, and that law was that humans shall never know about dragons. This was placed because in medieval times, as you call them, because we tried to make allies with humans, only to be cut down. Since then it's against our laws to even speak to humans. I'm the one and only law breaker of that rule, until now"
I turned to Grandfather and said "I know just what price I have to pay for all I've said, and I don't have any fear of it."
Grandfather smiled before saying "I reveled whom we are first, so there will be no executions today. But, if I were you, I would try to help those humans of yours before their hearts stops breathing."
I gave him a humored look and said "the brain tell the human body to breathe, Grandfather, they don't have there's thoughts coming from their hearts like us."
He gave me a surprised look and said "how odd."
I rolled my eyes and I lead them down to where the base was. They had one of the many buildings entirely to themselves, and sat down. Ready to face there hate, and there questions.
I want to know whether or not I'm doing a good job! Tell me or I'll keep this to myself, please! JA NE! sorry if updates have been slow.
