hey guys, yeah, I left for a while, but I've been sick, so i decided that I would finnish this chapter... have fun reading!
It was dark. I couldn't move, and I couldn't see. A spark of blue light lit up a corner of the room I was in, blinding me. A voice came from the light, and I recognized it as Valspar before I saw him.
"I don't have much time, dreams are not my specialty, they are my rider's. But I must tell you what you need to do." I blinked a few times before I was able to actually see the metallic dragon.
"You have to build up an army in about a month. They will have to be trained to fight against time. There will be three main riders, who ride the last three great kings," his voice crackled and sounded far away, "I can't hold this message for any longer. Remember, a month!"
Then everything went black again.
"Rachel? Rachel, are you awake yet?" a voice woke me from my sleep.
I sat up slowly, feeling dizzy. I looked around and saw Orrin asleep in a chair across from me, and Hiccup kneeling on the floor next to the couch I had been sleeping on. "Did somebody move me?" I asked, rubbing my right eye.
"That was Orrin after Skrit left." Hiccup answered, "Do you need anything?"
I shook my head. "No, I don't think so... Where's Skrit and Toothless? They were talking when I went to sleep..."
"Well I don't know about Skrit, but Toothless is in my room."
"Huh... I'm kinda hungry..." Hiccup smiled softly.
"I'll get you some food," he said, standing up and patting my leg. I smiled as he walked out of the room.
I heard a groan from across the room and looked over to see Orrin blinking himself awake. When he saw me, he got up and kneeled next to me.
"Hey, how are you?" he asked, brushing some hair out of my face. My cheeks heated up, I wasn't used to being touched like that.
"Yeah, do you know where my dragons are?" I asked.
He looked outside, just as we heard a loud roar. I sprang up, recognizing the sound. Running to the door, putting on a pair of boots and a jacket, I sprinted outside to see a huge green dragon trying to land, but someone seemed to be taunting it from the ground.
"Kry!" I yelled. The jade dragon looked at me and let out a whine. Running through the snow, I saw Hiccup's friends, ruffnut, tuffnut, and snoutlout yelling at it. "Stop it, you guys!" I yelled. They looked over at me and stopped their yelling. "Kry, come here." I soothingly told him. He floated down next to me, the ring around its neck spinning to stay pointing north. He lowered his head and I hugged his snout.
"Hi Kry, glad you came." I whispered to him. "You're a good dragon.
"I don't like them." he muttered in a low, rough voice, turning his head to face the three trouble makers.
"It's ok, you just have to get used to them." I stroked a part of his long neck, and he purred.
"So what is that?" Snoutlout asked, rudely, I might add.
"HE is another one of the dragons that raised me. His name is Kry. Short for Kryler, which is the name of his species."
"Oh, uh... Sorry." Ruffnut responded.
"It's fine, you didn't know... Come on Kry." I said, leading him to the dragon arena. He huffed, causing fog to come out of his nostrils.
"Did Lucy and the Frinters arrive?" he asked, lowering his head to eye level while we walked.
"Yep, did you know I had a brother?" I asked, resting my hand on his head. I felt a slight nod.
"I'm sorry we didn't tell you, we had to protect you." he sighed.
"It's fine, I'm just happy I got to meet him. He's here on this island, you know?" again, I felt a nod.
"I could feel his presence when I flew over the island." he looked at me with a serious expression. "Skrit will not talk about this, but have you met the other kings?"
I stopped in my tracks.
"You know about that stuff?" I asked.
"We all do." he sighed, turning his head to me, then towards the arena. "I can feel Valspar's presence here, but it is faint. He has strange powers, you know?"
"Like what?" I asked, walking again.
"Distortions, deception, and deceit."
"Do all the kings have something like that?"
"Yes, the southern king has the power of creation, charm and challenges." he took a deep breath, "the northern King has loyalty, lust, and leverage."
"Oh, ok... But what about the other king? there are four, right?" Kry turned to me suddenly, growling.
"Never speak of him, he is a forbidden subject."
"O-okay..." I whispered.
We got to the arena after a few seconds of silence, and I heard someone talking inside.
We stepped in, and were greeted with the sight of Skrit talking with Valspar. Skrit was pawing at the snow on the ground as Valspar mumbled something.
"Ah, here they are." I hadn't even realized that Valspar had noticed us. Kry snorted out some steam, and walked closer, bowing his head to the dragons. I followed and stood next to Skrit. She looked up at me with an apologetic look, and I pat her head.
"Rachel, you are important, but not as important as you may think." Valspar said.
"Actually, I don't think I'm all that important." I replied, but the dragon continued.
"That's good, you'll probably die, anyways."
"Val!" Skirt scolded.
"What? She is a mortal human. She isn't a godly dragon. It's true."
"It's fine, Skrit. It happens to everyone, anyways." she continued to glared at Valspar.
"Yes. So your main goal at the moment is to gather an army of dragon riders and warriors. There are already a chosen three who will ride the three kingly dragons. But, this is all review, correct?"
"Mostly, but I still don't understand."
"Your enemies, the pirates, are not just your enemies. They are villains of time itself, and have been found at tragic points in time all across the timeline of earth. They reside in this time period while they rest, to get away from the futuristic armies that are poised to attack them whenever they go back. It is up to us to stop them here, because they feel like we are like an ant compared to the others they face elsewhere. Get it?"
"I- I think so." I said slowly.
"Rachel? Hiccup said you went up here..." Orrin blinked as he entered the arena. "Was there a dragon there? I think my head is playing tricks on me." I looked at where Valspar once sat, and nothing seemed to be there.
"No Orrin, just me and these two. No one else." I smiled, and pointed to Kry. "This is Kry, he is really sweet once you get to know him."
"Hey Kry." he waved, and the dragon nodded. "There's some breakfast at the hall, wanna come get some with me?"
I looked at Skrit, and when she nodded, I grinned up at Orrin. "Yeah, sure. Let's go."
welp, there we go! already to chapter ten... huh...
there are some dragon design changes I made, for the Kryler and the Frinters, cause I was drawing them yesterday and they turned out differently than I had visioned before.
Frinters: they still look kind of like terrors, but they have horns that make a V from the sides of their head down to the tip of their nose. then they have a second pair of smaller, triangular horns behind the V. they can be different colors.
Krylers: they dont really look like the two headed dragon (what's it name?) besides the greenish coloring. they have a goat-like head and (if you know about Homestuck) Eridan horns. (look up Eridan if you want to see what I mean.) their body is kind of giraffe-like, but with stubbier legs, and their wings are armored plates like the one bird Pokemon, Skarmory.
AND! so, clearly there will have to be an army, so I will be accepting OCs! please follow these little guidelines if you want to send one in:
Name:
height:
gender:
hair (color/length)
weapon:
Dragon, if they ride: (available dragons from my story are Lucy and he Frinters, so your character wont be able to ride Kry [for obvious reasons])
getting OCs will probably give me more muse, so more updates quicker!
looking forward to new people!
