Disclaimer: I do not own LoD (Well I own a copy ') but I DO own the charactors in this story, and the plot, and well...yeah

A/N: Okay well um I started this fic when I was in like 7th grade and I posted the first couple chapters on here and I myself wasn't pleased with the results (it was ick p) So I decided I should rewrite it. As soon as I rewrote the first chapter I was giddy because I loved how much better it seemed. I'm in 9th grade now and am willing to take a second shot at posting it. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing it (because I do so much!)!! Remember, read and review!! Oh and don't hesitate to give some constructive critisim (that doesn't mean flames, kiddos) because I need all the help I can get. Plus my Microsoft Works has been messing up so I'm using word pad which doesn't have a spell check so please inform me of any mistakes you find!!

ENJOY!!

And so it begins...

Goddess of Destruction

Ch.1 The Start of a New Legend

Strawberry blonde hair whipped her face as she stood at the front of the ship. She let her mind wander as waves slapped against the ship. The young girl loved the sea, she loved how it seemed to calm her worries and cause her problems to dissolve. "Sweetheart, come inside you'll catch a cold!" Her mother yelled from the cabin doorway.

"Coming mother." She sighed and took one last big breath of fresh sea air before heading back into the cabin.

Arlena groaned and turned on her back, they just wont go away, she murmured as she rubbed her eyes. It was still night out, leaving Arlena with the impression that she hadn't slept very long, barely two hours. Though she wasn't too surprised, sleeping on the ground never was very comfortable, especially when she her dreams came and made it worst.

"Might as well keep going, I'm never going to get back to sleep now." She packed up the few things she had and started down the dark forest path to Seles

Thaedda stood alone in a thick darkness, a darkness that chilled her to the bone. She'd never been so afraid in her life as the darkness seemed to consume her as she stood there, too scared to move.

"Don't be scared." A voice, the beautiful voice the girl had never heard before. Thaedda squinted her hardest, but the darkness was too thick for her to see a thing. Then suddenly a bright white light lit up the whole area.

Thaedda didn't shield her eyes, she stared in awe at the beauty. A creature with silver dragon like wings, her (Thaedda was sure it was a woman, though she couldn't make out her features) hands raised towards the heavens.

Thaedda shot up in bed, breathing hard and her eyes wide. It wasn't until she looked around and realized she was in her bed did she relax. "Just a dream," She whispered, rubbing her forehead with the back of her hand.

But somehow it seemed too real, the fear that she still felt was so genuine. Sure, it was natural to be frightened after a bad dream, but this fear was all too real for her and so was the warmth she felt. The warmth from the beautiful light, the light that saved her from the darkness.

Thaedda reached for the white stone sitting on her nightstand and closed her palm around it. The stone had been given to her by her mother when she was barely three years of age and it always seemed to calm her when she was scared the most. She held it too her chest and closed her eyes, had her eyes been open she might have noticed the pale glow around the stone.

Arlena paid a young inn girl for a room she had just rented and exited the inn. She had arrived at Seles not to long ago, but even still couldn't sleep. Since it was nearing noon she had given up, "might as well waste some time if I'm here."

Arlena put her hands behind her head and looked up at the blue sky. Suddenly the visions of dead bodies flashed through her mind. The horrid stink of rotting flesh and blood, bodies strewn everywhere, covering the ship everywhere she looked. Her dead mother looking up at her, a knife sticking out of her stomach. 'You killed them' A deep female voice hissed, 'its your fault they're dead.'

WHAM! Arlena fell to the ground, knocking her out of whatever trance she had been in. She rubbed her forehead and pushed herself off the ground. "I'm so sorry miss!" Arlena's eyes were drawn to an unusual looking girl dusting off her skirt. "I guess I was in a bit of a daze." The girl admitted, smiling nervously.

Arlena's eyes were fixated on the girl's bright violet eyes, it was a very unusual color for one's eyes. The girl flushed slightly and the young woman realized she was starring. "Oh, sorry I guess I was in my own little world as well."

"Are you new in town? I mean I've never seen you here before and we usually don't get many visitors and -oh sorry I'm being rude!" She bowed her head and rubbed the back of her neck.

"I'm just passing through," Arlena replied quickly, she wasn't one to be getting friendly with strangers.

"Oh, well have a nice visit then. I guess I should get going and I'm pretty sure I'm keeping you from something to so, have a good day!" And with that the violet eyed girl turned and hurried off in the other direction.

Arlena watched her curiously as she hurried off, "strange girl," she murmured. Even so the girl seemed to have such a gentle kindness to her, a pure innocence that was so rare these days. With a sigh the young woman continued on her way.

Suddenly it got dark, as if some huge dark cloud had covered the sky. The people of Seles stopped to take a glance at the sky, hoping to finish their errands before the rain. But when they did, they cried out in horror, for a large dragon flew over the small village.

Arlena's eyes widened as she stared up at the belly of the legendary monster which hadn't been spotted for hundreds of years. Most villagers wore the same expression and stood unmoved because of shock, but others were panicking. People were running and screaming in all directions as the dragon came around again, fire spitting from its mouth.

It's blue scales glinted in the sunlight as it hovered above Seles. It roared a mighty roar and then began to land. People ran from their houses and shops to safety, carrying their children and running for their lives. They sought safety in the hills bordering Seles.

Arlena was still standing stark still as she watched the beast smash many houses and shops, maybe even people to the ground as it landed. It roared again and went back on it's hind legs. That's when Arlena realized just who was standing right in front of the dragon, looking immobile, it was the girl she had bumped into earlier. Shit, She ran towards the girl, with every intention to get her the hell away from the dragon.

Thaedda stood frozen with fear as she stared up at the vicious creature with multiple sharp horns on top of it's head. It's large golden eyes finally stopped on her and it gave a low growl, baring its sharp fangs. "Watch out! Move!" Arlena yelled as she ran for the girl. "Get out of the way!!"

Thaedda's hand quickly went to the white stone that hung on a chain around her neck. It was an instant reaction, as if her body knew something she did not. Warmth flooded through her, giving her an unknown strength she had never before experienced. Suddenly a bright light engulfed her, lifting her up into the sky.

Arlena skidded to a halt as the girl was consumed in a bright light. She shielded her eyes and shied away from the light.

When Thaedda opened her eyes again she was hovering above the ground dressed in a white armor and WINGS?! She gasped aloud and strained her neck to look at the magnificent white dragon wings protruding from her armored back. What is this?!

Arlena stared, her mouth agape as she witnessed the transformation from girl to, well she wasn't sure what! What is that girl?
