I own Saga and Ygrene.

Chapter 1

A cold wind drifted through Shuggazoom City, urging the inhabitants inside. Dark clouds covered the sky, painting the world gray. Even the least intelligent of beasts could sense the coming storm and hid away. It was as if Nature itself was sending a warning about what the events of the day could hold.

A lone figure that looked for all the world like a tall human male with one eye stood atop a tall hill. He wore a tattered, dark gray cloak over a blue shirt and black pants. His hair was silver in color and his eye was red. He lifted his hand, on which he wore a blue glove, and stared for a moment.

Although this creature looked human, he knew that he was not. He did not know what type of life form he was. Once he had been a robot, but a powerful spell had transformed him forever. His single eye showed him more than the two normal eyes ever could.

"It sounds like a fairytale," he said. "I guess that Saga is a good name for me."

Saga looked up towards the sky. He knew that beyond those clouds, somewhere in space, the Skeleton King, his former master, was planning his next move against the city. Saga had done many tings that he regretted, coming closer than most to conquering Shuggazoom in the name of Skeleton King. He had probably killed several innocent people, and he had almost destroyed the lives of many others. He could take the easy way out and blame his actions on the dark spirit that had once dwelled within him, but he knew that the demon known as Eganrac had only added to the darkness that was already in his heart and supplied much of the power Saga had used.

"Back to the matter at hand," muttered Saga. He wanted nothing more than to make up for what he had done and begin again. So he would free the universe from the evil that all who knew of it feared. He would kill the Skeleton King.

Saga began to breathe more slowly and focused his mind. A sensation of pain rushed over his body, but since Saga had changed into this form before, it passed quickly. Saga was soon in the form of a winged Lindorm. Although he was much smaller than he had been when he turned into a Lindorm to attack the city, his body was much more complex this time. He had added the dragon Ygrene's ability to fly through space.

Saga looked towards the sky and opened his wings. He took off towards space, rising through the clouds. Soon he reached the atmosphere, which he passed through with less trouble then he'd expected.Upon reaching the vacuum of space, he stopped breathing. However, he didn't feel light-headed, or even like he was holding his breath. Still, he wanted to get to the Citadel of Bone as soon as possible.

After a little searching, Saga reached his destination. He fired a small energy blast and burned his way inside, after which he seemed to fade into the shadows. He slipped towards Skeleton King's throne room. Formless seemed to simply fall apart as he went past. When Saga encountered Skeleton King, he didn't want there to be any interference.

Once he was satisfied that it would be a one on one fight, Saga forced open the door to the throne room. As he entered, he transformed, taking on a form he had developed specifically for this reason. He walked over to Skeleton King, who got up from his throne and prepared for battle.
