Chapter two: Dragon Alchemist
A/N: This is chapter two. I'm really no good at these things. oh, dragon's speak is thoughts, so it might get a little confusing. sorry. Oh, i forgot to mention this in the first chapter, but this is like an alternate demension almost, i never thought that fullmetal alchemist took place on our world...hmm, that's something to think about. Anyway, now that that's said and done...(embaressing.)
Harrison merely watched the pitch colored elder raise his tail and bring down. It cracked, showing the elder's annoyance with the tiny mortal that stood before him. Harrison grinned mocking the elder more but by their laws they could not harm him. So he waited for them to explain why they had left their cozy hiding places to come again into the world of mortals. If they had anything of interest to tell him.
You know why we're here. Snapped the ill-tempered and ill- mannered Queen, Nights Shadow.
"Do I?" Harrison asked, annoying the old creature more.
Nights Shadow was at least 70 feet from the end of her snake like nose, to the tip of her lashing tail. Colored like Charcoal, she had long since given up all other colors, no longer wishing to impress the youngsters of their kind, but she was small, compared to the other two. This Harrison could tell by the areas of darker shadow cast by them, or when the faint moon catch on their hides.
Obnoxious Whelp! Hissed raising her wings slightly.
"Careful." Harrison said it almost sing-song. "Or you'll get caught."
Harrison let his ego and the fact that he had no intention to help them, do the talking. He was going to help himself. To rid his name of his father's. So that would not be compared, judged or punished for his father's idiocy. He needed only one thing from them. they would give it back, they had no choice. They needed to be ride of Harrison's annoying, and distracting summons. To focus on a matter that Harrison up to now, would have thought they would ignore.
Yes. You know why we are here. The next biggest and when in the sun, the color of burnt copper, Sun Bird, said weaving his head back and forth on his long neck, spins stand up alone his head and neck.
"Oh, so your Nights Shadow's new serving boy?" Harrison asked though he meant something else entirely. "Some how I'd have expected younger...more colorful...ah, well."
Take it and be gone! Sun bird snapped flicking his tail and with it, a topaz the size of a candy. It fit well in Harrison hands.
"Thanks, a lot. See you then." Harrison turned and left, laughing at the elders realization that Harrison had what he'd wanted, without having told him what they wanted. It was something he had gotten from his father.
The only thing the son of drake gave me, that was worth keeping.
Harrison popped the gem into his mouth and closed his eyes, as he sat waiting for th dawn. Opening both the gem and his own mind, letting the power within the gem return to where it belonged.
Harrison looked at the town and laughed. This was ridiculous. Surely his father knew better then to leave a hatchling to do his dirty work. From the scotch and claw marks, Harrison could guess, even without seeing the dragon itself. that it was still a pint sized shimming, shifting Rainbow. Not even old enough to have it's heart's colors. Pathetic. All Harrison would have to do was find the thing, tell it it's mother was most displeased and send it scampering for home!
Harrison put his hand to his mouth to try and stifle the laughter before he was asked what he thought was so funny. But Harrison also knew that given how young the dragon was, Harrison knew that no one had been hurt. the fledgling had been overjoyed to use newly gained wings and flame to kill anything alive. He knew. He sought out the Village mayor or leader which ever it was.
"How big was it? at a guess." Harrison asked. " I know a little about dragons,"
The Mayor looked at harrison suspiciously before answering. " I don't know, 10 feet. maybe a little less. It looked like a rainbow it did. shiny all over, and it's colors never stayed the same for a moment. Not like that blue one. pretty in a sense, all sort of shades of blue, saw it fly over 'his mornin in fact. He had black paws, swung at my brother last night, left him shaking."
Harrison had been about to walk away. 10 feet? then it truly had only just gotten it's wings, and only barely knew how to breath fire or use it's skills...Harrison's thought train stopped. Blue? black paws..."What?"
Harrison's eyes burned now. Bright gold, almost cat-like, or snake like...the poor bumpkin just stared before repeating his words. A fledgling and an Ator..."How big was the blue one?"
Nyrin, if this is you I'll kill you my self. Harrison thought as the man stuttered to answer the boys question. at first the older man had thought Harrison perhaps, slow, or very very mild mannered. Now though, seeing those eyes burn with a fire he couldn't imagine he wanted to be very far from here, and he wanted their very fast.
Harrison took off. Following somethign even he could not place. Toward the one spot in this area where a brightly colored dragonet could hide. One that would not know the Magics that kept thier exiled kind hidden. He ran blinding, his mind burning. There was no chance his younger brother, Nyrin would possible join with Harrison's father? Not after Exiling him, Nyrin and thier mother here. No.
The son of the Sun. The voice was soft, whispery, and female. Grandchild of the Silver Queen and the Golden King. Before she left for another.
Now the voice made sense. His father's mistress. Though only a few years older then harrison himself. Lyenith. the Blue on Blue queen. her paws were night black as well, only she was star specked. it did little for her. She did not have the same beauty Harrison saw in his own mother.
"What are you doing here?"
"Helping my Golden King." She said using a human voice, though her head Weaved back and forth, in the same manner as Sun Bird had. "My, My. You've lost an eye."
Only a warning hiss gave Harrison time to dodge the queens head.
"Sadiewyle, does your mother know your here!" Harriosn said to the dragonet.
Sadiewyle's milky eye's flashed. He can't be far into gaining his wings. His eyes haven't even taken color yet. Sadiewyle' silken hide was still the shifting colors of the rainbow, no patterns, no sticking colors, nothing to show he was more then a hatchling who could use his tiny wings.
That's none of your concern, Autumn Son...
Harrison flinched at one of his names, one he had been given by his granfather, Golden One, after his colors had settled. Not that it counted here, here he was in human form. So there was no reason to call him that, except to possible annoy him farther.
"You know, I almost thought you were my brother."
Night Sky is here too?
Of course, Harrison felt more for his brother. Night Sky, for the Dark Sapphire and MIdnight blue, with Silver marks, he had gotten the name and resented it. Claiming it belonged to a girl, or possibly an elder, Not him! Harrison pushed this thoughts aside. Ignoreing all but Lyenith and Sadiewyle. The Rest of the world could burn and Harrison wouldn't notice.
" Why are you helping him Sadiewyle?" Harrison asked the young Ator. "Do you think this will help you? Or your mother?"
Sadiewyle hissed, whipping his tail, without the slow grace that an adult would use to confuse an unwary oppent. Sadiewyle is a child. He should not be involved. "Well?" Harrison pushed the young Ator(A/n: A young Male Dragon.) Sadiewyle's eyes were useless they lacked the trapping power that an older Ator had. Only a few more years and he would be of more help...why? Why bring such a small dragon...it would only slow his father down.
Harrison saw Lyenith's tail a moment to late. She had used his distraction and his blindside to her benefit. Her tail, tossed, then crushed him. Harrison didn't see The Strangers...he was too dazed by Lyenith's tail pinning him to the ground. With a steaming Sadiewyle pacing slowly closer...
A/N: more cliff hangers...he,he...i'm pretty good at these tonight. Thanks to Loyalsoul for the review! Chapter two is much longer then chapter one.
