Emperor Diaz of Gloriano, High Lord Satek of Death Frontier, Regent Lodac and the man known as Soul sat around a table discussing what to do to start a rebellion.

'I still say we should just attack the winglies now' said Lodac.

'And they would crush us like a bug' commented Soul.

'what about the other races couldn't we ask them for assistance, I mean the dragons would be a powerful ally and so would the giganti' Said Diaz .

'alright send emissaries to the other races asking for their aid' said Soul.

'Diaz, you have a massive army and so do I, lets start training them together so that we have no resentments when it comes to the actual fighting' said Satek.

'alright' smiled Diaz.

'how are the seven people that got hit in stariak by the fireball?' asked Lodac

'they will live but it will be at least a year until they recover and Kanzaz he is still mad only I believe it is temporary but  won't be able to heal him we'd need a dragon but if a dragon did heal him it could crush his mind and kill him so we just need to wait and see, anyway you all know what to do so go back to your cities and work, the rebellion is coming my friends lets lay down the foundations.

Two years passed and Gloriano' alliance with stariak and Alakrios flourished the full human army was somewhere in the excess of three million men all trained and with two million in training. Seven of the eight high dragons had agreed to help with the battle they had thought of an idea of a dragoon, a warrior which possessed the power of the dragons and the defence but had the intelligence of a human, they claimed that it would work and on most species including giganto, mermaid and wingly.  My wounds healed and so did Shirley's, Belzac's, Syuveil's, Damia's, Roses and Rhuarcs. Kanzaz recovered from the capture and torture but he still is a little unhinged. Now at this point we're just trying to figure out what to do.

'uhhhhhh' moaned Belzac holding his head in his hands 'why did you drink so much last night if you knew you would feel this way now?' asked Shirley,  'it seemed like a good idea at the time' during the two years of our recovery Shirley and Belzac had grown closer and so had Syuveil and Damia and unexpectedly me and Rose had grown close too. But Kanzaz  had not become close to us at all.

After a morning of bad headaches and moaning we walked into the council room to meet with Soul, Lodac, Satek, Diaz and Rhuarc.

'right first things first the dragons want to meet with you seven they think you may be right for the position of the dragoons but be careful we don't know what effects the melding will have, they will transport you to the mountain where they reside, bring your weapons they say that to prove yourself you must fight your way to them'. Said Soul

'will you and Rhuarc be coming with us?' asked Belzac.

'No'

'right then I guess we'd better be off' said Syuveil

as we walked back to our rooms to get out weapons it occurred to me that this all seemed to be going a little fast three years ago I'd been a nobody mercenary and now I was on my way it become a dragoon,  then I grinned, at least I'd have a story to tell my children.

When we'd all armed and were standing in the throne room, Lord Satek stepped forward with a bag filled with weapons 'these were delivered by a wyvern about five minutes ago there was a message from the dragons saying this' he handed me a piece of paper that said…

Warriors

These weapons will aid you to find us and will aid you in the war to come

If you do survive and the melding is complete then these weapons

Will become a part of you they must be held in your hand when you first hold the gem and it will be changed too

Hurry quickly young warriors for time is slipping.

'what did it mean when it said 'when you hold the gem in your hand'?' asked Damia.

'it meant that or you to become dragoons a dragon has to die, because when dragons die their spirit crystallises in a small ball and when you hold the crystal if the dragon accepts they believe they can integrate with the holder of the crystal'

'but won't that kill the dragons?' asked Shirley hesitantly

'yes in body but in spirit they exist the crystal and inside of you literally they strengthen your muscles and toughen your skin and increase the potency of your immune system when you get back you can describe to us what it feels like, and when the dragon dies a baby dragon is born who will fight with you now quickly you must go now the dragons are near death and will die in vain if you do not get there in time so take your weapons and go'

walking to the centre of the room we watched as seven glowing circles appeared on the ground in different colours, green, red, purple, black, brown, white and blue. Stepping onto he red one I felt the familiar sensation of a transport then a sudden jerk and the world exploded into light.
