"""I was once the best of them, DragonKind. My love was with the warrior code, but I held power in the Fire and Ice competitions, and was the strongest of them all. Why? Because I was the Prince. The only reason why I was banished from the Dragon Sky City was because I was afraid. No I was not afraid of the power, or the politics. I was afraid of flying, its was a pity to not fly like the others, always it caused me problems and nearly the death of me."""

"Why do flashbacks have to torture me? I'm nothing but a teacher, and a helper. I'm nothing but a loser, nothing at all. Perhaps Shadow is right, I have to stay out of this fight, it's not mine to fight, and I'm a teacher."

The dragon looked around, the earth had change during his life, the house that was once in the lava fields but now there was nothing but ice and snow, the cave completely covered in ice. He was happy here, safe and far from his father, who wanted him dead for a long time. His father was King of DragonKind now, since he was pushed off the cliff. Vexx hated the thought of flying, but he did wonderfully with everything else and now he was banished forever.

"""he held the cliff by the very edges of his clawed hands. The larger green dragon with the nearly pure white eyes stood over him. Screaming and yelling about being worthless if you can't fly. The terror of his father nearly frightening him more than hanging off the cliff.

"Your nothing boy! Spread those wings, you must fly in order to become King! I said fly!"

The smaller darker shade of blue eyes flicked from his father toward the ground and back to his father. He was frightened for his life, both afraid of his father's wraith and the far ground below him.

"Father no! You know each dragon learns at different times, I'm just slower than the others, father no!"

The clawed hand slammed down harshly on the smaller one, tearing open the bullet proof scales, making the younger dragon slip. He hit harder not caring about his kid since he could not save himself, only by flying he could live the fall to ground.

The older dragon smirked, chuckling harshly thinking how much power he could now hold by being King of all DragonKind. He looked at the broken shine of his son, feeling pride as he looked at his son; the pride was not replaced with guilt but with triumph."""

Vexx held his chest, breathing hard as his mind was tortured, the pain he felt then from his father would never be gone, never be replaced. He was one of the lucky ones, one of the monstrous ground creatures had found him broken and dying. They were kinder than his own fellow Dragons; they helped him even bringing him to their 'god'. The sorrow they felt toward his story was strong enough to have him brought to the healing Stone, the very thing that healed his body but never his mind.

"""Vexx watched the smaller red echidnas run around as his reentered their camp, him being called the God of the Flames, or Wise One, welcomed into their homes like family, he happily shrugged them off. Once or twice listening to the hurt or needy ones, he could help the ones weaker than the others. His own teacher was the one reason he was in this camp.

The teacher said that these ones were suffering more than the others. Power had corrupted there minds, to a point of using the stones for there own power, and hurting there own people as well.

He was here to take them from that power, as they were not going to be leaders anymore.

Authors note: sorry guys, but I got a new beginning of a story; it's going to be long though, I promise that I will get back to the normal story when this little tid bit is done. Enjoy!

…..

He walked outside; taking the trash out, not knowing his best friend was going to visit him. He looked up from the edge of the cliff, and watched his blond haired friend run up to him.

"Hey Max! Want to see the pit fights? I got us tickets so you can't say no."

"Well since you put it that way I guess I'm going to have to go, so who's going to pick us up?"

"We gonna go to the games, we gonna go to the games, hey Max! My parents finally bought me a mosquito! Isn't that amazing?!"

Max stood stiff as a giant mosquito walked around the corner, feeling his owners' excitement. The trash fell from his hands and fell down to the lava fields, while the giant insect sniffed him with its antennas.

"Is that thing even tame?! Its huge, could your parents get a car for you or something?"

Sara leapt up onto the back of the mosquito, using the thick fur around its back to climb up to the top.

"Silly Max you keep forgetting I live up in the Sky City. And be thankful that I have the tamest one, I could have been given a pit fighter instead."

"Okay so how do I get up there?"

Sara leapt down to the ground, completely forgetting that Max never had ever gotten onto a ride like this. The bugs wings buzzed with nervousness, never had landed on the ground in its entire life, its antennas twitched and Sara said soothing to it. "Its okay Silver he's just as frightened of you as you are frightened of him, but he doesn't bite."

"Your talking to a giant mosquito, am I suppose to be worried or something?"

"No Max your fine. Silver down, get down, good boy."

Max watched as the giant bug laided down, all its feet flat on the ground so its abdomen was on the ground. Max grabbed a few overly long hairs, and pulled himself up. The mosquito turned its head, a few hundred eyes looking at the small boy as he pulled too harshly to get himself up. Sara leapt up using traction to pull herself onto her ride.

"So you ready to go to the pits?"

"Yeah… I think I am. Hey where are the seat belts on this thing?"

"Good. Now up Silver, come on lets go home! Max there is no seat belts!"

The laughing of Sara's was blacked out by the buzzing was nearly deafening as Silver lifted off the ground. Max yelled like a sissy girl as he left the safest place he was once on. Sara stood up and stretched, and Max thought she was insane.

"What do you think your doing?!"

"Your fine, this is the kindest and safest ride that my parents had bought, do you think that they were stupid? Here watch."

Sara walked over to the edge and jumped off. Max screamed again as the bug turned a full 360 degrees and jerked as it grabbed Sara.

"See? The safest thing around."

"Yeah okay can you please stay on the bug?"

"Sure."

Sara sat next to Max as they flew though the empty sky, although little did they know they weren't going to have to wait for very long before they started to see things in the sky.

It was ten minutes before Sara suddenly stood up and was nearly ready to jump off the insect when they came in view of the towering city in the Sky. Max looked up into the sky as he seen giant butterflies float around sipping nectar from man made stops, he heard the heavy buzz of fast paced wings of a few dragonflies. The length of them was marvelous going for yards in the sky. Suddenly a huge shadow swept over them, Max looked up and seen the biggest pair of eyes he had ever seen, it was a giant spotted moth that was flying over them. A guy on its back yelled at Sara.

"Hey! Nice to see you Sara! And you brought a friend too! How nice!"

"Thanks Sam! Nice to see you too!"

As they got closer to the city, there was more and more traffic in the sky, bugs flying everywhere. Max remained dumbfound at the beauty of the Sky City, not even noticing that Sara had sat back down as they were landing again. Once Sara helped Max off the insect he was suddenly attacked by a knee tall bumblebee, it grabbed his pants by its mandibles, pulling gently. The color code of it was weird as it pulled.

"Jackie! Let him go! He's not a chew toy!"

The little bee looked up with its eyes shining, a look that would get its queen to be nice to it again, however Sara was not its queen but its owner. Sara picked up the little guy as his wings buzzed on his back, causing the grass to shift in place. His bottom wiggled as he slowed his wings down, making it sound like he was purring. Sara handed Jackie to Max, the little bee testing his scent. Max held the bee, not knowing what it wanted or what Sara was thinking giving him the bee.

"Mom! I'm home and I brought my friend too! We are going to the Pit Fights later okay? Right now I'm going to show him around the Sky City, he never visited here before!"

Sara stood leaning toward the door as she listened for her mom to reply back. Sara nodded her head and grabbed a leash off the shed in the yard. She walked toward Max and grabbed the bee, holding it still as she looked for the small black color that was on it.

"So we are going to explore the City now?"

"Yeah, and I got my moms card we can buy whatever we want there."

"Cool. So you going to teach me your style of living or do you want to see the mighty Ground City first?"

"After we see each city then we can start learning the differences between us."

"Okay"

Sara led the way though the streets, skirting the messenger hornets as they went to each mail box. The bee was careful to stay out of their way, it not using its wings at all, long legs to keep it upright. it watched and stayed near both Max and Sara. Max was going to cross the street and was yanked back by Sara; a ladybug was towing a bunch of laughing rich ladies back to their homes.

"Man I hate it when people like that just have to run you over when you want to cross the street."

"just you wait till you get to my city, it wont be rich ladies running you over either, we cant ever cross the streets or even walk down a dark ally way, too dangerous. Not unless you own that part of the streets, we have problems with gangs and whatnot."

"No the worst we have is rogue pit fighters, or crazy rich ladies on ladybugs."

Sara led Max to a shop, she opened the door and the little bee buzzed around like crazy.

"Here we are the place where my little Jackie can rest."

Sara unhooked the leash from the bee and let him join the other bees to play games and whatnot.

"Its like a little place for kids except different."

"Yeah it's a nursery for bees. Come one lets go."
