Yoley had observed the fight ocurring in front of her eyes, she had seen the battle, the magick casted by both creatures, and had seen the quick manoeuvre to evade Onyx's attack. She had seen as well the two dragons falling like stones torwards the depths of the lakes, and a rain of blood sprakled crimson like rubies in their trayectory torwards doom. Yoley, ignoring the three figures behind her, the shocked and trembling creature as well as the two prideful males, she vanished into the depths of the forest. Her lips echoed with a single name, silent, she heard no sound, not even her own voice, nor the rustling whisper of leaves, nor the thumping of her feet on the fresh soil. Her mind was numb, and her ideas focused, "Izzy!" she called out continuously.
Tears streamed down her cheeks like humid jewels, salty substance falling down her pale skin as her mind blocked the reality, trying to lighten herself with the only hope she could get a hold on. She stopped at the top of a small, clear hill, free from the invading pressence of trees, a spot she had known from previous incursions here, and from which the dark, shaded lake could be observed. She saw the foamy ring contrasting against the calm and misterious depths, but nothing moved, not a single ripple, not a minor wave, not a shadow in the depths, nothing motioned under the darkness of the pure waters.
"no…no…not him…" Yoley whispered with trembling hands, her lips shaking as more crying threatened to arrive with it's stabbing and stinging sensation. Placing both hands around her mouth she gathered all her strength to do the only thing she could believe on right now, "IZZY!" she called desperately, fearing loosing his best friend.
"Izzy, you fool!" she called again, "stop playing, I know you are there, this is not funny any more!" her voice echoed, bounding against the sharp hills of a rock wall. Yoley took a deep breath and sighed, "Izzy! We have to go home, you promised me a flight…don't think you'll get away that easily!" she called again, screaming with all her might, yet her voice began to break as no reaction occurred.
"Izzy, you cant leave me, you idiot, we have just began living, and know that I don't care if you are a dragon or whatever…Izzy, you are my best friend, I…" she began, this time not containing her desperation and sorrow, letting tears flow freely once more, covering her face with them, "I love you!" she admited, youth love, perhaps, yet a proffound love of a friend to friend. Her meanings, far from romantic, roamed the sensation and feelings shared by two best friends, the kind of love and importance you had with a person that mattered to you more than anything else in the world, someone with whom you shared your secrets, your joys and sadness, and your problems with your boyfriend, your best friend. Wolf stared at her with a simpatheic and saddened look in his eyes, those were his friends as well, both of them, specially Izzy, and his loss stabbed him with the fury of a rabid dog's fangs. His greatest pain however was observing the woman in such hopeless sorrow.
I raised my head for a brief second, I was drowning quickly, lacking oxigen, yet my concious was still awake, "Yoley" I thought feeling a warm, a perfectly comfortable and warm sensation coursing through my veins, flowing with the beating of my heart. I knew somehow, the young human was creating a magic, a magic far greater than any I had ever known, she was sending me her feelings torwards me, and my shock had been great realizing the strength of her sensations, and realizing that her purest feelings did not belong to her romantic self torwards me, but to her friend to friend self, our friendship.

Two Teenagers Drown in Ailin Lake
Ken Itchijoji, the famous Prodigy Child, and Izumi Koushiro, resident of Odaiba and a model student of Odaiba's Highschool, perished last saturday drowned in the lake during an incursion with some friends. The children had decided to spend the afternon outside when the two men decided to swim in the lake. Matthew Ishida, one of the people that had been with then, says that it was a matter of seconds and they both had dissapeared. Rescue teams have been searching for the bodies for the past four days, yet with no result. The families' hopes in finding them with life have vanished, and the depths and thick soils make the task impossible. Ancient miths speak of a spirit in this like that despises being disturbed, and swallows anyone venturing into their waters, however they are just miths. Reporter Nera Takayami from Odaiba's Daily.
Yoley stared at the two empty graves with her gaze lost into the infinity of time and space, her mind swimming across the memory of that who had made her so happy, and who was tearing her sould with his sharp fangs and claws. They hadn't found the two dragons in the lake, therefore a mild flash of hope still glittered in her soul, Blaze was a dragon, and it had been Blaze, not Izzy, who had fallen in that lake. She believe the dragon's strength and magic must have saved him somehow, she wanted to believe it since it was the only thing she could hold onto before falling completely into the great depths of despair.
"…and we wish our brothers a safe journey torwards paradise, in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen" the priest said in a monotone voice, and the people gathered around the two marble stones repeated with equal passiveness. It was then that sobs echoed here and there, and several people broke into sorrowful shrieks and cryes, mostly the mothers of the two boys, and a few muttered words of simpathy and invocations torwards the sacred beings that, apparently, protected them. Yoley, however, was so inmersed in her own world that all had no meaning torwards her, and, at times, when her eyes made contact with puffy, red ones from a familiar, she wondered who was this person grieving without understanding the true pain.
Yoley cried to herself in the silence of her dark room, this was her moment, she was alone and she could let her feelings arise with freedom, not blocking them in order not to hurt the people she loved more than they were, the parents specially, from the two men. Only she and the three friends knew of the truth, why the two had fallen and drowned into the lake, and that truth was to go with them, for non were to know that the two dragons had been fighting, and the reasons that impulsed them to do such. She felt guilty, perhaps it was her fault, but believing it herself was one thing, and having accusative fingers would end up with her coherent thinking and her healthy mind, impulsing her to do something she'd regret after. All this thoughts swarmed across her mind like a crazy flock of dragonflies when her attention was abruptly called by the sharp and dry nocking of a stoneimpacting against her window glass.
She looked up, red, puffy eyes and blurry vision, yet she could see the gentle vivration of the glass, threatening to shatter, however the impact had been calculated with such accuracy it would not break. Yoley's eyes stared with curiosity at the window, and timid paces got her closer to it, just to stare at the source of such gentle attack. Her eyes widdened with disbelief, and her heart leaped with joy at the vision of a magnificent copper figure, a beast so great and powerful, yet so noble and good tempered. And hidden under the hard, silky scales, and the thick mane, and the bony horns and deadly fangs and claws, was Izzy, her best friend, and the most important creature in her life.
She emmited an acute shriek and threw open her window with such strength I thought it'd shatter upon colliding with the wall. The woman leap out and ran, nearly trimpping against her momentary disbalance, torwards the enormous beast. She wrapped her hands around the large and perilous muzzle, and sobbed, convulsing lightly, against my soft, velvety scales.
"I knew you were alive!" Yoley whimpered shutting her eyes tightly and letting all emotions flow within her simply happiness and euphory.
I, nodding lightly and releasing my muzzle from the grip, turned around and lowered my left wing, to let Yoley mount on my back, "I owed you a flight!" I roared softly, knowing she would just understand my gentleness by my tone. Yoley mounted on my back and I soon elevated myself into the fresh, summer air, the darkness was great but the light irradiated by the moon guided my path torwards the lake where all had ocurred. I landed on the hill, it had been a short flight, yet Yoley was pleased by this perfect situation.
"Yoley!" I said upon changing back to the human I had been known as, "you did something back there, you returned me to life, you sent me the strength I neede to release myself from Onyx's grip. I emerged and crawled to shore, hid in the forest and rested and now…now I return to you!" I explained never staring at her, eyes firmly fixed in the depths of the lake, with expectation, knowing something was to happen. Ken had muttered a few last words, and something was to ocurr very soon.
"I'm glad you are alive, I thought I had lost you!" Yoley said nearly hysterical, remembering the frustrationg hours she had spent until resignating to my loss.
"Yoley" I turned my eyes to look at her, and a bright smile covered my lips and I observed her inmense beauty outlined by the moonlight and her envious rays, "always trust and confide in your feelings, they are the greatest magick ever!" I said gently, placing a hand upon her cheek.
"Izzy, you'll stay with me, right? Like you've always done!" she said softly, her voice quivering with fear of loosing me.
As if that was the only response needed, the lake's depth's flashed with a colorful light, and a swirling whirlpool of a fascinating magickal pattern of rainbow, creamy colours illuminated the darkness. It was a portal torwards the world where I belonged, I was to return home and figure out why I had ended here, in this dimension, it was my knowledge and my obligation, this was no place for dragons, nor any other magical creatures.
I turned to look at Yoley only to find her features saddened and teary eyes, "you know this is not good bye, we'll meet again, it's just a see you soon, ok?" I said trying to smile, yet failing upon my own grief.
Yoley pounced upon my arms and embraced me tightly, "I love you Izzy, I'll miss you!" she said with resignation. I breathed deeply, returning the embrace, this was hard enough, yet she would not make it harder at least. I smiled to myself feeling the warmth of tears stain my cheeks with it's salty fluid, yet I would not let this get to me, I couldn't ask her that question, it would be crazy to take her from her world, to bring her with me as a dragon's mate, she could never mate with me, and that was an impediment. Perhaps I'll find dragon colonies, and I didn't know how they would react torwards a dragon with a human mate, I had to see the area first.
"Yoley, I love you too, always remember that!" I said with a smile, "Oh, and if you ever have problems with math, remember, the easiest formula is usually the correct one!" I said pecking her cheek softly. Yoley smiled sadly, yet a light hearted chuckle escaped her cherry lips, "I'll remember!" she said smiling.
Said that I returned to my dragon form and leapt into the air, then, with a last look at the person that had made me the happiest dragon in the world, I flew torwards my new life. A roar escaped my lips, a last call to her person, "trust your heart!" I said with my powerful, however gentle sound, and then vanished into the swirly motion of a worm hole, torwards my real world and my new life.
The End
AN: The end? Not really. In case you forgot there are many empty spaces, like who is that misterious werewolf? And who casted the snow petals? And who knows so much about dragons? And why did Tai grow claws? There is going to be a sequel so stay around here to check for it, it'll be a whole new adventure because Yoley, two years after Izzy leaves, finds a way to go to his world by using the digidevices, and two people come along with her, two people seeking their past. Once there, they will be involved in a war against a pack of assasin dogs that are more than they appear, and a misterious anthro lancer girl with a red deer and a white griffin as company will help them out in their search. Ok, I hope you enjoyed this and enjoy the next one.
