Chapter 11
IIIIIII'MMMMM BAAAACCCCKKKK! Well with this story anyways. I'm happy to be writing this again and since I am now finished Cute Revenge I can focus primarily on this. YAY! Okay I won't blabber on any more and I'll let you read. Enjoy!
Normal POV
"What is going on with these things?!" Dawn exclaimed looking at her bare thigh that shine with a glowing white light. The others were examining their marks as well, each glowing with the colour that their mark was.
"Well can't you read the book? Make it appear or something, Blue!" Gary called to her, struggling to see the mark on his neck. Dawn did as told making the book of Legend appeared and quickly flipping through it for an answer to their problem.
"I found something, 'when the dragons unite the truth can be seen, the power that lies with thee.'" Dawn read the page that she had been found. Closing the book and snapping her fingers, causing the book to disappear. She put her index finger on her chin thinking, as all the others looked at her. "Well I think that it is trying to say a new form of power will be seen now that we're all together and the marks are just indicating that. So I guess...wait what are you all staring at, I mean seriously it's not like I'm perfectly correct or anything." The others just stared at what Dawn thought was to be at her, until Ash pointed behind her causing Dawn to turn around.
She stood amazed by what she saw. There was a large dragon like figure that stood proud. The figure, although was just an image, not really there but could be seen and seen through. It looked its head down towards Dawn reviling the light purple eyes. Looking over the whole thing again, Dawn noticed the light pink and white colour that the dragon was; it had no wings unlike all the dragons she had pictured through her life. The scale looked not rough but like a silk, and there was a black crescent mark upon the forehead of the beast. To match the crescent on the head there was a black end to its long thin tail. "W-what are you?" Dawn asked already knowing the answer was a dragon.
The figure began to fade away slowly, until there was no sight left. The group of teens stared for a minute until Dawn perked her head up. "I heard something, a voice I haven't heard before. All it said was 'Luna'" she looked puzzled towards her team.
"Maybe it was that thing we just saw." Drew stated.
"Hey, the marks stopped glowing! Well ours did but Dawn what going on with yours?" Leaf questioned causing Dawn to look at her thigh yet again. She watched as the mark expanded to almost the full length of her leg, spiraling around it as it made its way down to her calf, where it ended the dragon's tail. The now full white dragon mark stopped glowing and everyone just stood there, no words in mind.
"Are you fucking kidding me?! I train for months knowing that each time I do something that makes me stronger the mark grows and you just see a fucking pink dragon and now you have an entire fucking mark on your leg?!" Paul exclaim with pure frustration.
"I don't know what is more shocking; the fact that Paul actually said like 2 sentences or that fact that we just saw an actual dragon." Gary pointed out to the group, who all agree now examining Dawns mark.
"Probably the speech thing," Dawn chuckled to herself. "Hey where did Paul go, he was just standing there in the shadow of the tree."
"Boo." Paul said appearing behind Dawn, causing her to let out a shriek of terror. "Pft idiot. I am the Dragon of Darkness and Death; I can hide in the shadows and move from one to the other as well as making myself a shadow as well." Paul explained as he quickly vanished to the ground making a circular shadow that was moving around. Popping back up he was just a silhouette until moments later he returned to normal. He shook his head so that his hair covered his face once again.
"Well you know what, meh." Dawn crossed her arms in a huff, sticking her tongue out towards the purple-headed boy.
"You know I just had a thought, about the Dragon thing that just happened, what if we all have one, I mean we are Dragons of Legend, or so we believe it to be after all. It would make sense, Dawn what can you do now. Somehow you just gained a bunch of skill do to seeing it because the mark grows with skill, or so we thought. But doing the considering that you barely had any, no offense, you should have gain some sort of power." Everyone stared at the dragon of earth, not having a clue what she was rambling on about.
She sighed; no one understood the idea of knowledge being very useful apparently. "Big mark means lots of power. Understand now?" Leaf looked at them with the sign of disappointment; she makes an assumption of what is going on and then needs to dumb it down.
"Ahh my Leafy is too smart for her own good." Gary said going up to hug her, but to his despair was pulled back by a bunch of vines. "I just wanted a hug, yesh." Leaf let him go shaking her head, before being tackled to the ground by Gary, who was this time pulled off by Drew, to Leaf's luck.
Leaf stood up of the ground and dusted herself off. "Thanks Grasshead."
"Hey! That's my nickname for him, eh whatever it's true." May stated before having Misty come up next to her. We should head back to Petalburg like May said. We can have food shelter and a place to train. You guys up for it?" Everyone nodded their head and began to walk back the way they had come. Drew had mentioned it they go back to Mauville and then continue west they could get to Rustboro City, and then head south to end up in Petalburg.
Continuing their journey back to May's home the came across many things and were just outside of Mauville when night had begun to fall. "We won't make it back to Mauville and we won't make it to Verdanturf Town before night is fully here. I say we just camp the night out." May said as the group was walking towards their next destination.
Everyone had agreed to stay the night in their current position; well Dawn had a few issues about sleeping on the ground for yet another night because she was tired of flying and not getting to where she wanted to be.
In her mind Paul could literally be there in two seconds because he could, due to the shadow teleportation he can do, Drew is meant to fly and Leaf can just sit there and move with a floating piece of rock. She knew she didn't have I the hardest but she still didn't like it.
The camp was set up with a fire crackling in front of everyone as they sat around it. Gary was keeping his distance since he wasn't the biggest fan of fire out there. May on the other hand, was practically bathing in it; occasionally just putting her hand in the middle to make sure it would go out anytime soon. Paul was sitting on the other side of Dawn, trying to block out some of the light that was there so he could go to the shadow realm if he wished.
"Dawn, are you even listening to what we're saying?" clueing Dawn back into reality. The group had been asking her if she found out why she got the full mark and if she could have the book appear.
"Sorry I was thinking about what it means that I met this 'dragon'," Dawn said using air quotes as she said the word dragon. "I mean if I have the mark finished, shouldn't the rest of you?"
"Well that is why there is the book." Paul said from behind her, still not facing towards the group, using Dawn to support his back. Dawn sighed making the book appear in her lap. She started skimming through the pages not finding anything.
After hours of reading Dawn noticed that everyone had gone to sleep, looking at the watch on Paul's wrist she noticed how late it become.
"2:30am huh, I didn't think it was the late. The fire is still going strong, so, I guess I could sleep for a little as well and then go back to work." And with that dawn flashed the book away and then drifted off into a slumber, still leaning her back against Paul's.
"DUDES! Dragon's back!"
Okai. All done for now, how was that for the first chapter back? I really don't have a lot to say except that I must thank everyone who wasn't mad at me for putting this story on hold for so long. But it's back now and everyone can enjoy so yay!
But for now I must go since I kinda have school work to do. I'll Update again soon! I promise.
Please review tell me how much you liked the chapter or if you think that it s stll missing something!
