Chapter 2, Blood Lit Sky

Fura watched as she entered back into Dragon Country gasping at the site. There was blood pouring out of the lifeless dragons some even had no limbs. Her home now ruins once more all because of the Empire. Coo flapped down alittle making a perfect landing spot for Fura's jump. Looking around he gagged at that awful odor that most of the rotten flesh contained and let her off to look around her once glorious home. Most of the pacts have been slain some who did survive was the young unexperience ones. Searching for her brother Fura's heart began to sink.

"Coo," She spoke sobs filling her voice. "I can't find my brother..."

"Sh, I'll look around. Just don't get yourself killed ok?" Coo was worried just as bad as she was.

"I won't..." Unsheathing her sword her and Coo went their separate ways for now.

As Fura wandered around on the new wasteland she heard some painful hissing and looked over. A young girl and her blue dragon were barely alive still grasping the final threads of it. She moved closer to them offering some help, but the dragon hissed in rejection tossing his blood stained head closer to young girl giving Fura total view of his condition. Most of it's body was nothing more than arrow targets and there on the dragon's chest was a sword injury all the way up it's throat with blooding dripping from it. Now glancing over toward the girl she had one stab wound on her somach and that was about all mostly covered in her dragon's blood.

"You sure?" Fura asked the healing question one more time.

"Yes," The dragon answered with the same rejection hiss. "we are going to die anyway...the Empire was too strong this time...Fura...."

"I could still help you, young one. Please let me..." Fura could not dare think about death at a time like this.

"No, Fura...there are others who need you and we are not one of them..." that time the girl spoke with the blood soaked dragon making Fura walk away in tears.

Coo was having the worst luck a white dragon could have! Now his 50th healing patient he was losing strength. Lowering his head Coo moaned. "Fura...I've healed over 50 people have you had any luck what so ever?" His link was strong but his strength was nearly gone.

"No," She answered back trying to hide her tears. "I only found a young girl with a blue dragon that are clinging to life as we speak but they rejected my healing ideas...Coo I'm started to get worried about my brother that was the only love you let me keep..."

"Don't give up now! I'm going to rest use some other dragon to look around that isn't very wounded. Fura I'm sure your brother is fine. He is the strongest dragon rider after all." He was getting quiet tired of talking and shut off their link just to rest for now.

"Yes, of course Coo whatever you say..." Fura whispered to herself as she went on not thinking about the rotten odor that still filled the air. Most of it was conbined with declaying flesh that most of the lifeless dragons carried now. Tightening the grip on her sword she was determined to find her brother at any cost.

Still walking over more dead, declaying corpses she shuddered at the thought of her only brother being in one of them. Slicing a dead red dragon in half Fura saw black blood pouring from it and gagged. 'This dragon had been dead even before the fight with the Empire then that means we are having other fights too...from the sky?' Twisting her thought upward she saw three more dragons up there and gasped, "My brother!"

Fura could not believe her brother of all people to be up fighting other black dragons. His dragon was the wisest of all the clan and the most biggest too! She watched and held her breath this made Coo stir in his sleep the white dragon digging his talons into the earth. Aura tapped his black dragon's neck making him shoot up into the sky like a rocket flying past the other two black dragon wanna bes and sneered.

"How dare you come onto my land and take away all I love and own..." Aura grasped his dragon's horns tightly and growled. "You shall pay this with your lives."

His dragon was much different than those posers. His arms and wings weren't one whole limb like those were. His black scales even shined in the the fallen sun. Flapping his wings with Aura still in raged. The dragon spred his talons opening his mouth a darkness flame emerging from it. Tensing up the dragon's whole body Aura smiled. "Burn in hell..."

A whole flame shot out of it's mouth as big and round as the sun causing the dragons to have no where to hide or run just to roast in hell. Watching Fura waved as the brunt black dragons fell using their blood to light up the sky. 'Blood lit sky...what a wonderful site to see after that match..." Fura thought as the victor flew down to greet his only little sister.

"Fura I thought you would never come home..." Aura explained while Death snorted in agreement.

"I'm sorry brother I really am! But I met another dragon pact!" Fura smiled while Aura leaped off leaving his black dragon to sink on the ground to rest huffing small black flames into the air.

Aura smiled softly while pulling his blonde hair back that only went to his shoulders. Shining the same green eyes at her while fixing his black amor that matched his dragon perfectly. Pulling a grey shirt down some smiling.

"Really? Who is this person Fura?" He asked while watching a certain white dragon come to view.

"His name is Caim and he has a red dragon who he calls Crimson." She answered happily while Coo came up behind her resting his head on her shoulder huffing some.

"Really? Caim? Isn't his sister the last Goddess that perished in the last war?" Aura asked quiet interested in him.

"Yes, I believe he is a soldier in the Union...or the leader of it since all the soldiers follow him till death." The black perked up hearing his name called. Aura just patted him down once again.

"Not you." He whispered. "The real thing."

Aura then looked at Fura straight in the eyes. "You go find him and bring Caim here. I want to see if you are right."

Fura nodded, "Yes, brother I will." Looking at Coo she smiled. "It's time to go now."

He moaned lifting his head up snorting. "Not another fly mission..." He whined while she mounted him. Fura gently stroked his neck and answered, "Yes, Coo another flying mission." Flapping his wings Coo took off a few feet in the air and turned around with Fura waving at Aura.

"Don't die on me okay?"

"I won't Fura, I won't." Aura answered while waving back at his 20-year-old little sister watching her fade away in the blood lit sky.
