FIRE and BLOOD in Remnant
The First Steps to Fly
Draegon was standing in a grassy field as the wind blew by him, he looked to his side and saw something amazing. Draegon saw his mother sitting on the field with a younger version of him at the age of one. Drogon was lying around them sleeping peacefully when all of a sudden little Draegon got up from his mother's lap and started walking all on his own and was headed towards Drogon head. Once he got their little Draegon put his hands on Drogon sleeping face and it caused the Dragon to stir awake. Drogon rose his head and looked down at little Draegon and he stared back smiling happily. Drogon lowered his head down and licked him with his tongue it caused both little Draegon and his mother who was still sitting to laugh because now he was covered in slobber. Daenerys walked over and pick him up and then turned towards the adult Draegon. Draegon was surprised and wondered if she could see him. Daenerys opened her mouth to speak.
"Wake up Lazybutt," her voice was completely different.
Draegon jolted awake and realized it was a dream. He looked over and saw a girl waking another boy up. The girl had orange hair and she was wearing a collared black sleeveless vest, with a blue central front section with red accents, her vest has her emblem, on the back. Under the vest she wears a white sleeveless t-shirt with a heart-shaped cutout above her breast line in the center accompanied with a pair of white detached sleeves on each arm, and a pair of light pink fingerless gloves. She sports a short pink skirt with a single white layer under it. Her white boots sport pink soles with part of her emblem, the lightning bolt, on them and low heels with pink laces, the tops are folded over revealing the pink lining. She also wears a silver armor piece that wraps around the waist, under her breasts and around the back of her neck with metal connecting each piece together at the front.
The boy she was waking up had black hair with a streak of pink and was wearing a dark green, diagonally-buttoned, long-sleeved tailcoat that is red on the inside, with black and gold trimming and pink cuffs. The trimming goes down the right side of his torso and forms a black collar. Along with this, he wears a black, long-sleeved shirt beneath the suit and light-tan pants with black shoes. He ties his hair back in a low ponytail.
Draegon shook his head at the noise she was making but since he was up, he might as well get ready. As he was getting ready the pair was close by and were talking in a loud way so he couldn't help but ignore it so he listened.
"Its morning, its morning, its morning, its morning," the girl identified as Nora. The scene shifts to the bathroom were Draegon and the boy identified as Ren were brushing, they're teeth. "I can't believe we've been at Beacon a full 24 hours. Not that I thought we would be kicked out our anything I mean you're the perfect student and I'm well I'm me, but it's just crazy you know…" Nora continued to talk in a fast way. Draegon eventually tuned them out because he needed to focus. He would use all his skills to get into Beacon but if he failed then that was fine as well, he would take Drogon and leave. After using the bathroom to get ready Draegon put on his combat clothes and looked at his favorite jacket with Targaryen three headed Dragon on it. He shook his head and put it on and went to get breakfast. Draegon had a small helping of eggs and bacon and milk since he didn't want to get sick latter.
After breakfast he made his way to the lockers where they had his swords. Draegon didn't like leaving Blackfyre and Dark Sister in a locker. He was nervous that they would be stolen again and go missing for another hundred years. He only felt at peace when they were around his waist. As he hooked his swords to his belt, he could here Ren and Nora still talking.
"Nora," Ren said. "Yes Ren," Nora said zipping around him. "I don't think Sloths make a lot of noise," Ren said as he slid his weapons into his sleeves. "That's why it's perfect no one will suspect were working together," Nora answered in cheeriness. "Common Nora lets go," Ren said smiling as he closed his locker and walked off while Nora was saying "but not together, together." Draegon had taken Blackfyre out with some time to kill was sitting on a bench near Ruby and Yang he pulled out a whetstone and started to sharpen his swords. Even though he didn't need to since Valyrian steel doesn't lose its edge but it was a force of habit that he seemed to acquire a few years ago. As Draegon was sharpening his sword Ruby was looking at Ren and Nora and broke the silence.
"I wonder what those two are so worked up about," Ruby wondered and looked at Draegon who shrugged his shoulders and went back to sharpening Blackfyre.
"Oh, who knows, so you seem awfully chirper this morning," Yang replied turning around.
"Yep, no more awkward small talk or getting to know you stuff today I get to let my sweetheart do the talking," Ruby replied as she pulled out Crescent Rose and started hugging it.
"Well remember Ruby you're not the only one going through an initiation, if you want to grow up, you're going to have to meet new people and learn to work together," Yang said with worry.
"Huh! You sound like dad okay first of all what does meeting people have to do with fighting? Secondly, I don't need people to help me grow up I drink milk." Ruby said with annoyance. She put her weapon back into her locker. Draegon raised an eyebrow at that statement.
"But what about when we form teams?" Yang wonder with curiosity. "I don't know, I'll just be on your team or something," Ruby said nervously. "Maybe you should try being on someone else's team," Yang replied while scratching her head nervously. Draegon wondered why they wouldn't want to be on team since sibling sometimes work well together. If Draegon had his way he would just be on a two-person team with Drogon but he doesn't think Ozpin will allow that.
"My dearest sister Yang are you implying that you do not wish to be on the same team as me." Ruby said getting angry. "What no of course I do, I just thought, I don't know maybe it would help you break out of your shell." Yang said trying to defend herself.
"What I don't need to break out of my shell that's absolutely…" Ruby replied go crazy.
"Ridiculous, there's no way I put my gear in locker 636 yesterday I would have remembered to count that high, oh why does this have to happen today" Jaune said walking by everyone looking for his locker. Draegon looked over Blackfyre to see it was sharp and ready to kill. He sheathed his sword and pulled out Dark Sister and was about to sharpen it as well before he was interrupted.
"What about you Draegon will you be on a team with me?" Draegon looked up to see a hopeful looking Ruby looking at him. "Or wouldn't you rather be on a team with me." Yang said seductively flipping her hair while looking at him.
"Why are you trying to steal him you just said I should breakout of my shell and meet new people. Draegon counts as new people." Ruby said upsettingly.
"Well, I need a team as well and Draegon looks strong from the way you describe him plus I like his eyes." Yang replied looking at Draegon cheerfully. Draegon sighed and spoke up. "Ok I'm flattered and that both of you want me on a team but why don't we wait and see how teams are formed then will decide." Draegon said as he left the sisters who went right back to arguing and found another spot to sharpen Dark Sister. Just as he was doing that a new conversation happened.
"So Pyrrha have you given any thought to whose team you would like to be on, I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such strong individual such as yourself." Wiess asked a girl dressed in spartan clothing named Pyrrha Nikos. Draegon could tell by looking at her she was stronger than most of the students in the area. He would like to fight her one day. As he sharpened Dark Sister, he saw what Pyrrha wore.
She wore a brown over bust corset with a vertical strip of lighter brown in the center. Additionally, she wore an elastic, black, A-line mini skirt and brown opera-length gloves on both arms. She wore a red ankle-length sash that wrapped around her skirt. For accessories, there was a small circular bronze plate on her right hip opposite two pouches with both connected to a belt. The plate bore her emblem. Underneath her hair, she always wore a brown circlet adorned with a pair of small, green, teardrop-shaped emeralds on thin chains. She also sported a large bronze gorget around her neck and a bronze bracelet on the upper half of her left arm. She wore armor. She had elaborated bronze greaves that started below her mid-thigh before continuing downwards into her boots as well as a pair of cuisses that began mid-thigh and ended slightly above her knees. She was also equipped with a bronze bracer. Her high-heeled boots were brown with bronze trim, matching her skirt and sleeves and reaching up to mid-calf.
"Hm, I'm not quite sure, I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may," Pyrrha replied.
"Well, I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together," Wiess said hopefully. "Well, that sounds grand," Pyrrha said. "Great," Wiess replied before thinking evil thoughts.
"This will be perfect, the smartest girl in class combine with the strongest girl in class together we will be unstoppable I can see it now, we will be popular, we'll be celebrities, will get perfect grades, nothing can come between us now," Wiess thought evilly. Draegon saw her doing it and he almost felt like he could hear her evil thoughts. Until he saw someone break her out of her thoughts.
"You know what else is great me, Jaune Arc nice to meet you," Jaune said in a cool guy voice. Draegon smacked his head wondering why he didn't get the message yesterday.
"You again," Wiess said annoyed. "Nice to meet you Jaune," Pyrrha said happily but Jaune brushed her aside. "Yeah, Yeah, so Wiess couldn't help overhear your fondness over me the other day," Jaune said flexing an arm.
"Oh, you got to be kidding me," Wiess said smacking her head and Draegon wondered why he was near all the weird conversations. He went back to looking at Dark Sister and continue to sharpen it but had to listen.
"Don't worry no need to be embarrassed, so been hearing rumors about teams. I was thinking you and me would make a good one, what do you say?" Jaune asked.
"Actually, I think the teams are comprised of 4 students each so..." Pyrrha began.
"You don't say, well hot stuff play your cards right and you can join up with the winning team," Jaune said as he zipped over to Pyrrha. "You're welcome to join to Draegon I bet the four of us would be an awesome team." Jaune said as he and Pyrrha looked at Draegon as he was finishing his polishing. "That's very kind of you Jaune," Draegon said as he put his sword away. Wiess quickly got between Jaune and Pyrrha.
"Jaune, is it do you have any idea who you're talking to?" Wiess asked. "Not in the slightest Snow Angel," Jaune replied trying to be seductive and cool.
"This is Pyrrha," Wiess replied. "Hello again," Pyrrha waved before Wiess continued. "Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum," "Never heard of it," Jaune said looking confused.
"Ah, she's won the Mistral regional tournament four years in a row a new record," Wiess continued. "The what," Jaune said still confused. "She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's marshmallow flake box." Wiess said angrily having enough of Jaunes Stupidity.
"Gasp, that's you they only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters," Jaune said excited while Pyrrha blushed with embarrassment. "Yeah, it was pretty cool sadly the cereal isn't really good for you," Pyrrha said sadly.
"So, after hearing all of this do you really think you're in a position to ask her to be on your team," Wiess said killing the mood. "I guess not sorry," Jaune said looking down in sadness.
"Well, no one is in any position to ask," Draegon said as he stood up and all three looked at him. "We just have to let things take its course and for the record even I've never heard of Pyrrha Nikos. While people like her and you Wiess were busy just sparring and practicing in tournaments I was busy fighting monsters the past few years outside the Kingdoms." Draegon said looking at Wiess as she remembered what she said to Ruby the other day.
"Those reports of less Grimm activity happening that was because of you wasn't it," Pyrrha asked a little shocked. Draegon smiled and answered, "Yeah its true I have nothing against people doing tournaments but I don't like playing in them. When I fight, I fight to kill," Draegon said a little darkly and made the others look a little nervous. Draegon noticed this and went back to the subject at hand.
"You know what Jaune I think you would make a great leader," Draegon said smiling.
"I agree," Pyrrha said placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Ow stop it," Jaune said getting happy. "Seriously please stop it this kind of behavior should not be encourage," Wiess said in a look of disappointment and wonder as she looked at Draegon and how he's been killing hundreds of Grimm leaving many Huntsmen without work.
"Sounds like Pyrrha and Draegon are on board for team Jaune spots are filling up quick, now I'm not supposed to do this but maybe I can pull some strings, find a place for you, what do you say." Jaune asked getting close to Wiess who got nervous.
"Alright that's a bit to close, Pyrrha a little help please?" Wiess asked and Draegon looked wide eye as Pyrrha threw her weapon at Jaune and pinned him to one of the Lockers.
"I'm sorry," Pyrrha said. Draegon wondered if she was sorry, she shouldn't have done it in the first place. Soon the speaker went off with Mrs. Goodwitch voice.
"Would all first-year students report to Beacon cliff for initiation again all first year's students report to Beacon cliff immediately." Soon Wiess and Pyrrha waked by a pinned Jaune with Pyrrha saying, "It was nice meeting you." "Likewise," Jaune said in sadness and pain. Draegon walked up to him along with Ruby and Yang.
"Having some trouble their lady killer," Yang asked and Ruby offered a hand to help Jaune up.
"I don't understand my dad said all women look for is confidence, where did I go wrong," Jaune said sadly.
"Snow angel probably wasn't the best part," Yang said as she walked away Draegon nodded and decided to help as well. "Come on Jaune lets go Ruby said as she and Draegon carried Jaune and followed after Yang.
Later as students were gathered at the cliffs there was no sign of the professors. Draegon was staring out into the forest admiring the view since Jaune was back to normal. He closed his eyes and let the wind blow around him. His hair was like a wave of white. Suddenly he caught a scent of something but didn't say anything yet because he knew what it was.
"Ewww, what is that smell," Wiess said covering her nose and soon other students covered their noses. "It smells like burnt flesh," Blake said wavering her hand to clear the smell.
"It smells like breakfast," Draegon smiled while everyone looked at him like he was crazy.
"What do you mean it smells like breakfast?" Pyrrha asked curiously. Draegon was about to answer but looked over her shoulder and saw one student head towards a group of trees. This student went by the name Cardin but Draegon didn't know his name.
"I wouldn't go in there if I were you," Draegon shouted but he was ignored. Ruby, Wiess, Blake, Yang, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora were looking at him in confusion. Ozpin and Glynda were walking up behind all of the students and were wondering why they were looking at the cluster of trees. Glynda was about to get their attention but Ozpin held his hand up as sign saying let's see what happens.
"Why what's in there?" Ren asked. Ruby suddenly realized "Uh oh," Ruby said and as soon as she said that there was a loud Roar. Cardin was sent flying out of the trees on to the ground a few feet away from the group of students.
"ROOOOOAAAAAARRRRR," Drogon burst out of the trees angrily. He looked towards Cardin and saw him trying to crawl away in fear but Drogon wouldn't have anyone interrupt his meal and get away with it. Drogon charged towards Cardin on all four and was right on top of him in five seconds. He dived his head forward about to tear Cardin apart but just as he was about to Draegon jumped Infront of the cowering Cardin and stared at Drogon who stopped his bite a mere inch from Draegon face. Drogon sniffed Draegon and then licked his face with his smooth tongue. Draegon smiled as he did it and started petting his snout and Drogon purred in response. Draegon looked back at all the students along with seeing Ozpin and Glynda before looking at Cardin who was still on the ground.
"You would be wise not to disturb a Dragon while it eats," Draegon said as two of his unknowingly future teammates helped him up. Draegon let go of Drogon and the Dragon moved over to a pile of burnt dead carcasses that Drogon hunted earlier this morning and started ripping them to pieces.
Draegon turned towards all the students who were still looking in shock and coughed getting their attention. "I guess I need to repeat what professor Ozpin said yesterday, Ladies and Gentlemen this is Drogon. Drogon will be living here at Beacon." Draegon said as they were still stunned actually seeing it up close.
"Be nice to him and leave him alone," Draegon said as some of the students started to nod and Professor Ozpin coughed getting all of their attention.
The students were gathered in a row and Ozpin gave his speech. "For years you have train to become warriors and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."
"Now I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignments of teams, well allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates today." Glynda said sternly.
"What aww," Ruby said and Draegon noticed that there was an odd number of students as he counted. "These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time hear at Beacon so it's in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well." Ozpin continued and Ruby let out another aww because she was getting nervous.
"That being said the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." Ozpin finished and Ruby felt like the world shattered around her.
"WHAT," Ruby cried.
"See I told you," Nora said to Ren
"After you partnered up make your way to the Northern end of the forest you will meet opposition along the way, do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path or you will die." Ozpin spoke in seriousness and Jaune laughed but gulped in nervousness.
"You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation but our instructors will not intervene and I hope Drogon will not intervene as well Mr. Draegon." Ozpin said as he looked at Draegon who replied.
"Don't worry sir if Drogon was nervous for my safety he would have burned the whole forest down by now he thinks these Grimm in the area are too weak to be a threat." Draegon replied as he looked at Drogon who continued to tear flesh and bones from the dead goats and deer ignoring everyone now.
"You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics, each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff you will guard that item as well as you're standing and grade you appropriately, are there any questions?" Ozpin asked.
"Yeah, um sir," Jaune tried to ask "Good now take your positions," Ozpin said and ignored him. Draegon and all the students were in position but Jaune still had his hand up. "Um Sir I got a question," he tried again but Wiess was the first to be launched into the air.
Soon other students were being launched "So this landing strategy thingy what is it? Are you dropping us off or something?" Jaune asked. "No, you will be falling," Ozpin replied.
"Oh, I see like did you hand out parachutes for us," Jaune getting more nervous. As Nora was launched into the air.
"No, you will be using your own landing strategy," Ozpin said in calmness. "Uh hah yeah," Jaune said not understanding as Yang winked at Ruby before putting shades on and getting launched into the air with Ruby smirking and launching as well. Draegon looked at Jaune as he continued "So what exactly is the landing strategggggyyyyy?" Jaune shouted as he was thrown and Draegon shook his head before he was launched into the air as well. Ozpin sip from his mug as he smiled at the flying students before he heard a large burping sound. Both he and Glynda looked over to see Drogon had finished his breakfast and was now taking a nap.
A crow was flying calmly in the air before. "Birdie no," Ruby screamed as she flew through it and started firing her gun to slow her fall and turned it into a Scythe to swing around the trees to land. Wiess took out her Rapier and made glyphs to jump from. Ren used his weapons to slide around a tree to slow his descent. He looked up and saw Yang using her gauntlets to increase her distance as she flew.
"Woo yeah nailed it," Yang said as she jumped from tree to tree and landed perfectly. Pyrrha used her shield to break past the trees and as she landed on one, she looked through her scope and saw Jaune falling pathetically in the air. Pyrrha turned her weapon into spear mode and threw it at a great distance were Jaune was falling. She heard a thump fallowed by Jaune saying, "Thank you," "I'm sorry," Pyrrha replied.
Draegon soared through the air over the trees it felt weird without Drogon but nice all the same. He thrusted both his arms forward and his jacket glowed before fire blasted from both his hands like flamethrowers and he slowed his descent and landed calmly on the ground. Draegon saw it was quiet and he was alone so he started walking north.
Not far away Ruby landed and sprinted off "Gotta find Yang, Gotta find Yang, Gotta find Yang," Ruby thought before calling out "Yang, Yang," Ruby shouted.
"Oh, this is bad this is really bad what if I can't find her, what if someone finds her first. Well, there's always Jaune he's nice, he's funny I don't think he very good in a fight though. Oh, what about Blake so mysterious, so calm, plus she likes books, then again, I'm not really sure I'd be able to hold a conversation with her. Maybe Draegon he tries to be nice to people but I feel like he wants to be alone because he has trouble trusting people. Ok who else do I know in this school there's Yang, Jaune, Blake, Draegon, and…" Ruby thought until she halted and came face to face with . They both started at each other for a moment before Wiess turned around and started walking away.
"Wait where are you going, were supposed to be teammates" Ruby cried and kicked the dirt sadly. Wiess was walking through bushes grunting in pain until she came out of them and brushed the leaves off. Once she stopped, she looked up to see Jaune grunting trying to get the Javelin unstuck from his hoodie. He looked down and saw Wiess looking at him and waved before Wiess turned around and walked away leaving a defeated Jaune.
"By no means does this make us friends," Wiess said as she grabbed Ruby by the hood and started pulling her away.
"You came back," Ruby said cheerfully. Draegon saw the whole thing and smiled thinking Ruby and Wiess were now going to stop arguing. He looked back over at Jaune who still had his attention on Ruby and Wiess.
"Hey wait, come back, who's going to get me down from here?" Jaune complained and Draegon shook his head guessing that they were going to be partners so he started walking up to Jaune but stopped by another tree when he heard a voice.
"Jaune," Pyrrha said as she came out of the clearing and looked up at Jaune. "Do you have any spots left on your team," she said smirking.
"Very funny," Jaune said crossing his arms and pouted before smiling and looked down at Pyrrha who smiled back. Draegon felt happy for them so he walked away and started looking for his own partner.
Meanwhile with Ruby and Wiess were walking a different way. "What's the hurry?" Ruby asked.
"I will not let my mission be delayed because your too slow, I swear if I get a bad grade because your…. What the," Wiess said in surprise as Ruby appeared right in front of her.
"I'm not slow see you don't have to worry about me," Ruby said confidently. "When did…" Wiess said before Ruby cut her off.
"Wiess just because I don't exactly know how to deal with people, doesn't mean I don't know how to deal with monsters, your about to see a whole different side of me today Wiess and after its all over your going be like wow that Ruby girl is really, really cool, and I want to be your friend." Ruby said as she put her arm around Wiess who rolled her eyes and then Ruby disappeared into the bushes leaving rose petals behind. Wiess shook her hand at the petals and heard bushes crunching.
"You may be fast but you still excel in wasting time," Wiess said before starting to look nervous.
"Ruby," and continued to hear the bushes crunch. "Ruby," Wiess asked again but all of a sudden red eye started appearing on the bushes and growling could be heard. Wiess looked around and realized she was surrounded. Beowolves soon came of growling and snarling.
"Ruby," Wiess shout one more time before one Beowolf roared at her.
"Not far away Draegon heard the shouting and the roaring and stopped but before he could turn around to head back Beowolves crawled out of the bushes surrounding him to. Draegon narrowed his eyes and unsheathed Blackfyre. The sword glimmered in the sunlight and Draegon felt like a completely different person when he held that sword.
"Now the true test begins," Draegon whispered.
