Hey guys, Eclipse here! So before I start this story I have a small disclaimer, I'm deleting the story A Lion's Scars, and I'm putting The Wolf World on Hiatus. Also, in this story they call Scavengers, humans... Explanation? Since Humans and the Dragon Humans can communicate, they now know that they are called humans, also this story takes place in 2019, but between the 2nd and 3rd arc, so the timeline is super screwed up. Anyways, with that out of the way, here's The Obsidian Order chapter one!
Chapter one: Rescue
Stinking.
Dodgeball.
Again.
I will never understand why coach enjoys watching teenagers get hit in the face with rubber balls repeatedly, but this time, just like many others, I wasn't getting hit with a rubber ball, no, I was getting shoved against a wall by a kid ten years younger than me, in dragon I'm technically 6, but I'm 14 in the human world. Anyways,
"You're gonna pay for that squirt! You ruined my jacket!" The kid screamed. Then, out of the corner of my eye I saw a girl running towards me and the bully, Peril again?!, I thought, the girl was a flamescales dragon, but in this world, she was a 16 year-old Hispanic girl with short ginger hair, and she could choose when she wanted to burn someone. She had come to rescue me... Again.
"Get you hands off of Zane right now Parker, or you'll have a scar on your face to match the other one!" Peril threatened, her fist was actually flaming, but I was the only one that could see that, being the Gemwing that I was. Parker of course, dropped me in a heap and booked it out of the gym.
"Oof, that hurt." I said, covering my eye. I saw a hand outstretched and gladly accepted it, as me and Peril walked to our lockers, I, once again, scolded her.
"Peril, you need to stop blowing our cover, one day, someone is going to find out." I said, still wincing at the pain in my left eye.
"I don't really care, I've only burned Parker and Daniel, and everyone stays away from me now." She replied.
"Whatever, anyways, are you coming to Jade Mountain Academy today?" I asked, Phyrria was an alternate world from ours, so we just would portal hop to get there.
"Yeah, me and Siamang are teaching the students in the cooking class how to make our version of applesauce."
"Cool, see you there."
I packed up my backpack and started to head home, then darkness enveloped me.
I don't know when I woke up, but my internal clock told me that it had been roughly a hour. My thoughts were interrupted by two voices.
"Another one? How many of these guys are there?" The first voice, male, asked.
"I don't know, and I don't care. Just pay me already." The second voice, also male, said.
Finally, whatever made it so I couldn't see was removed. The first voice spoke.
"Why hello there little dragon."
I didn't care about survival anymore, a warm golden glow came from the top of my head and my horns sprung out, followed by the rest of my body becoming dragon-like, and I flew away.
A nice thought, but no. All that happened was my horns sprung out. The person chuckled.
"You can't transform in here, id-" Their voice cut off as someone grabbed me and transformed into a dragon outside of the building, and flew away. This time, I let the darkness come.
So, how did you guys like the story? Not every dragon can transform, just some. Next chapter will be told from someone else's point of view, and then after that chapter will switch back to Zane.
