Chapter 1

Hard landing

The Venom prison ship zoomed through space, carrying inside its dark metal wallstraitors, Cornerian soldiers…and Venom murderers. Carol was one of those murderers, wielding a grand spear with a spear head the length of a chair and the width of 1 and a ½ feet, it was a perfect weapon to kill Venom soldiers, but she had been caught trying to assassinate Andrew Oikonny, and was now apart of the prisoners on the god forsaken ship. Her cell mate, Bone, was also a high class murderer, his way of assassination: Lure and explode. He drew in either officers or soldiers to check what was happening, then he detonate hidden explosives inside. Carol and Bone were even in killing.

"We'll be landing in a while sir, should we check on those two?"

"No…they won't be going anywhere, keep our course onto Corneria."

"Same thing like before, fire them out the airlock and let them plummet through the atmosphere, I see."

Carol looked over at the captain and the pilot, she desperately reached for her spear, close to placing her paw on its hilt, but the ship shook a little and the spear dropped to the floor, Carol sighed with failure but wonderedshook the ship?

"Sir! Were being pulled into Cerina!"

"Everyone! Evacuate the perimeter, leave all prisoners, I repeat, leave all prisoners!"

The crew rushed out of the ship and into escape pods, leaving everyone on the chip, Carol, almost popping her arm out of place, tried to reach for her spear one last time, Bone watched her, thinking of what he could make for an explosive, nothing around him could help, finally, Carol had hold of her spear. She jammed it into the lock and smashed the cell door open, she was free, she turned to Bone's chains and smashed open the lock, freeing him, then his pupils became small as he looked out the window: on the outside of the ship, the wings were falling apart, the metal was getting torn off by the speed, they were plummeting towards the planet.

"Oh hell! We have to get out here!"

"We can't! All the pods have been taken!"

Bone kicked the cell, they had a small chance of living from the crash, there had to be a way to survive the crash. Bone started to think, trying to get an idea, looking at his surroundings…he got nothing. Now the ship was on fire, and Cerina was more visible.

"Oh god! We're going to die!"

Carol looked around, throwing papers onto the ground, searching for anything that might help her and Bone. She found a small box containing clear orbs, the orbs were able to surround the user in a bubble to protect them, only two were left.

"There are only two bubble armors left Bone!"

"I say screw the other prisoners, lets save ourselves!"

Carol nodded, activating the small orb to protect her, she gave the other to Bone as he activated it and formed around him, the ship had finally hit the shores of Cerina, inside the ship, Carol and Bone were bouncing all over the place, smacking into each other and the walls. Bone laughed like a mad man with the fun he was having.

"Woo Hoo, this is righteous!"

"Bone you…hey your right, this is fun!"

The two bubbles kept bouncing until they finally popped against the control panel, causing it to malfunction, destroying any chance of them getting off Cerina. They looked at each other, then slowly back down at the control panal.

"Well that can't be good."

Carol struck the hatch open and stepped out of the ship, the beach of Cerina was beautiful, but was also unknown to other Cerinians, Bone then jumped out of the ship and looked around, holding in his paws a rifle, looking if anyone would come and attack them.

"Carol…I don't like this place."

"Neither do I, it's…too quiet."

"Alright, Carol, I guess we head our separate ways."

"I guess so, see you on Venom…if we get off this planet."

Bone headed off into the forest, leaving Carol to find her own path, how would she get off Cerina? She heard a shaking in the tree's above her, wondering who might be there, then the shaking stopped, Carol looked forward, noticing in the far distance that Cerinian guards were coming, checking the destruction of the Venom prison ship, one noticed Carol and unleashed a bolt of fire near her, she jumped out the way of the blast, now a barrage was being fired at her, she hid from the blasts, hoping that she would be able to handle them, but with magic at their side, she was hopeless, she was going to be killed.

A pair of hands placed themselves on Carol's shoulders and pulled her into the trees, hiding her from the Cerinians, Carol struggled alittleand looked at her savior, stopping all struggles she was performing. He was a human, short black hair, violet eyes, a fang coming from his top right tooth, on his back was a long sword, at his side, a book of Cerinian spell work, along with other items that by the look of him, he couldn't afford any of those objects. He was a thief, a very odd thief.

"Did…did you steal those?"

"Steal is such a harsh word…I like to call it high risked trading."

Carol didn't know this human, but she felt like she could trust him, he did save her from a horrible flaming death. He started to climb up the tree and looked back down at Carol.

"Follow me, I can help you settle in."

Carol followed the human up the tree, moving her head to the side so she would get poked in the eye with his sword, it was hard climbing while holding a spear that weighed a lot while climbing with one arm. They reached the top, where a haven for thieves was built amongst the forest came into view with Carol's eyes, it may have been filled with stolen items and rare artifacts, but the environment was beautiful, amber colored leaves, a waterfall, gardens, Carol couldn't stop staring at it, a tear shined from the sun as it rolled down her face.

"It's beautiful isn't it?"

"Yes…I never knew such a place existed."

Carol then felt the thief slowly wrap his arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder, Carol placed her paw on his face, she felt warm being with this human. He quickly moved away from her.

"Oh where are my manners…like I had any, my name is Ariaz, master…"collector of rare artifacts and other items", may I ask who might you be?"

"Carol, Carol Zephyr."

"Carol…what a lovely name."

Carol blushed at Ariaz's charm, he held her left paw and kissed it, he stood back up and walked down the path to the center of the thieves hide out, many thieves bowing to their leader.

"Welcome to the Silent hand hide out, we…collect objects and bring them here…for safe keeping."

"You don't need to hide it, I know these items were stolen."

"Now stolen is an even more harsh word, I prefer…obtained with great caution."

Ariaz walked with Carol to her room, she felt warm when she was with him, and he felt warm when he was with her, neither of them could hide their blushing faces.

"Is this love? Do…do I love this creature?"

"He…he's not like other humans. He…he's gentle and kind for a thief. Do…do I love him?"

They arrived at Carol's given room, she opened the door and was amazed of how clean it was, a bed, a carpet, and a window, it wasn't much that Ariaz could give her, but she felt home inside.

"Well, I'll see tomorrow morning, get some rest."

Carol nodded her head and noticed a glimpse of something she felt touched inside: a smile on his face.

"He does…he does love me."

Outside of the door, Ariaz looked down at the ground.

"She does…she does love me."

a/n: So what do you think? I am trying my hardest to write up this story, but right now I have serious writers block after writing those fifteen chapters for the Cerina child. Read and review, I know Silver meta dragon will.
