Time for me to redo chapter two. I don't know how much better i'm writing this but once again,i apologize for not doing this sooner.

Voltara (Voltaradragoness) Main Character

Venus (LegendaryGodzilla)

? (Dragon-Uprising)

? (Hixkin)

? (JoelCoxriley)

The moonbeams turned to sunbeams as their light started to irritate Venus as he just wanted to sleep. Him disliking the sunlight wasn't because he was a Shadow dragon,he just wasn't a morning dragon. Deciding that he needed to get up anyway,he yawned and stretched being careful not to hit the infant with his tail spikes.

"Little one,are you-woah..." Upon shifting his gaze to the female,he noticed that just overnight she'd grown. Not too awful much but it was noticeable. Now she resembled a two-year old dragoness.

"What the hell!? How did...is this again because of the purple thing? It's gotta be,I've never seen anything like this before..." he thought. Despite the slight fear of the unknown he felt,he couldn't but feel amazed. Despite the knowledge he gained from the writings of the "Dark Age" there wasn't much detail on the abilities of a purple dragon,especially not anything about them growing at an increased rate. It was conflicting,but he then realized that's what all the other dragons felt about her. It's hard to know what a dragon like her will do with that power since it's her decision and hers alone.

He sighed. "I wish you could've been born into a better world. Children like you should play with others and study under the teachings of the guardians...not be born in a cave alone with a dragon like me in this broken place..."

Venus looked away,tears forming in his eyes. Little did he know,Voltara had been awoken by the saddened words and she sensed just how upset he was. To her,he was a sweet soul and the one thing engraved in her mind was The Kind Shouldn't Be The Ones To Suffer. Even to her it felt odd that that was the only thing she really knew,but being that she was young...she didn't care all too much. Due to not knowing how to speak,she let out a squeak to get her protector's attention.

"Huh? Oh! Voltara! Sorry,i didn't wake you up did i?"

She shook her head.

"Good,hey do you wanna go out a play for a little while? It seems like a nice day."

She looked out and seemed to study what was outside for a moment,but then she smiled and attempted to get up. Only to lend face-down in the nest again.

Venus chuckled. "You may have grown overnight,but that doesn't mean you can just get up and walk out. Let me help."

He picked her up by the back of her neck and carried her outside. He expected her to squeak again in response to the sun's warmth and she did,but she was muffled. Confused,he set her down and noticed she was chewing on the nest materials.

"No Voltara. That's for us to sleep on,spit it out."

She did as she was told,but afterwards Venus heard her stomach growling. The noise startled her at first but then she started to feel it,causing her to lay belly first on the ground.

"Wow,i am the dumbest dragon ever to exist...of course she's hungry! I should've fed her last night before i fell asleep! What am i gonna feed her though? She doesn't quite have her teeth in so she can't eat meat...and it's not like i have milk to give her..."

A small sensation on his tail snapped him out of his thoughts and turning around he saw Voltara nipping his tail. "What are you doing?"

Seeing that she had gained his attention,she signaled him to follow her to a bush not too far off. There he saw red berries growing on it. "Dragonberries! That'll work. I can crush them into a juice." he thought,aloud. "Good eye little one. These'll work just fine! I'm gonna go gather more of these and do some hunting. Stay here,alright?"

Before Voltara could even process what he'd said,he spread his wings and took off. The child's emerald eyes shone in amazement. All she could think was I wanna do that! She held herself back though,she did understand that Venus wanted her to stay put so she started looking for something to play with. Soon her eyes fell upon a colorful yellow and blue butterfly and she quickly started to chase it. If Venus had been there he would've seen that she was very agile.

She leaped into the air to try and catch it and she managed to twist her body in a position that assisted in flight without her even realizing it. She was even climbing trees and leaping from tree to tree. She really liked that butterfly. Soon however,she realized she had strayed from the cave. Massively. She no longer recognized that area and started to feel a little scared. She let out another squeak in hopes Venus would hear it and when she heard pawsteps coming toward her her eyes lit up again as it seemed like he did. However,when she saw what had come for her...her eyes clouded in fear.

She was looking at a gray-scaled dragon with a golden head and black legs,his eyes were green like hers but unlike hers they looked...lifeless and dull. His scales appeared very thick in certain places,his two horns gave his neck a slender look and he looked even bigger than Venus and this combined with his dull eyes staring her down scared her a little,but she tried not to show it.

Instead she decided to try communicating with him,so she let out a coo and tried to step closer. As she did,he lifted then slammed his massive paw on the ground in front of her. Letting out a squeak of fright,she scooted backwards quickly.

"Hm,seems i took to long and unfortunately i allowed you to hatch." he spoke in a low and calm tone.

"Hatch? Is that what i did when i came out of that egg? Why does he seem unhappy about that? Do i know him?" she wondered,fear leaving her eyes and leaving curiosity in it's place.

The dragon leaned in close to her face and she leaned back in response but let him look at her. "So you're female?"

"Female? That's what Venus called me,so yeah i guess..." Voltara nodded.

"Odd,purple dragons have always been born male...why a female?"

"Huh? There are others like me? Why does he seem so confused? What's going on?" Like the larger male,Voltara herself had hundreds of questions and no answers.

"I know! I'll take him to see Venus! I'm sure he has the answers he and I are looking for!" She signaled him to follow her and started back to the cave,only to be stopped by the male's tail moving to block her way.

"Where do you think you're going?"

She pointed back in the direction she came from and he got the message. "I don't think so." he growled,baring his teeth. Both his tone and teeth frightened her and she whimpered,body pressed against the grass. That instinct to try and hide vanished though when he raised his paw,claws out. She let out a gasp as a voice in the back of her head practically screamed; Run!

That's exactly what she did,before the claws came down she was gone. Dashing through the forest with no clue where she was going but all she wanted was to get away from that monster. Not two seconds later,she heard loud pounding on the ground that was so powerful it almost made her bounce off the grass. Her eyes went wild trying to think of what to do and that's when she heard that voice again. Stand your ground,show him you're not a helpless creature. By now she was near a rocky cliff side and hearing that,she skid to a halt near the edge.

"Stand my ground? I can't fight! He's so big! Oh no...what do i do?" her breathing became erratic as she began to panic.

"There you are you little pest!"

Voltara felt her fear return and once again she was pressed belly-first on the ground. She wanted nothing more to vanish into it as the monster in her eyes appeared from the treeline,snarling. "You will NOT get away from me!" he yelled,grabbing the child in his teeth and tossing her into the tree. As she slammed into it,Voltara let out a loud scream and then hit the ground. She then began to wail as tears poured from her eyes. Despite spots in her vision and everything being blurry,she glared and bared what teeth she had at her attacker. This seemed to amuse him.

"You purple dragons think you're so menacing,all because you're so powerful." he spoke with venom evident in the words as he got in the female's face again. "Well,get this through your little head and pass it on to any successors you may have,you are disgraced and looked down upon. No one looks up to you as superior to anyone and we sure as hell do NOT fear your species."

He figured the child would not comprehend what he was saying,but she did.

Her eyes glowed slightly as she felt anger rising in her young heart,at the moment she wanted nothing more than to strike him hard for those awful words. In the back of her mind though it felt odd. She felt she shouldn't have taken offense to what he said.

"Why...why do those words anger me? What are...successors? I don't...under...stand..."

Out of nowhere,she felt her mind cloud and something lulling her to sleep. Her vision finally went black and her head hit the grass which was now stained red as blood and a green and black substance leaked from the wound in her abdomen.

"Finally." he sighed,relieved. "Now there's no threat and there won't be for many more years." He turned to walk back into the forest when the sound of wing beats coming closer reached his ears. Turning his head slightly,he saw a dragon coming and coming in fast.

This dragon only appeared to be fifteen. He had bright red scales with a brown underside, a spiked tail tip and two brown horns on his head, three smaller ones on each side of his jaw,and deep brown eyes with a muscular build.

Face void of any emotion,he picked up the un-moving dragoness with his tail and tossed her into a nearby bush as the dragon landed. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" he asked,voice cold.

"Where is it?"

"Where is what?"

The dragon growled and showed his fangs. "You know what or should i say who i'm talking about! Where's the kid?"

"How does he...did he witness what transpired? No,i would've sensed if there was another dragon around...or she would've and ran to him."

"Answer me! Where is the kid!?"

"Answer my question first,who are you?"

The new addition on the scene growled louder as his face contorted showing increased anger. "My name is Vexx. Now...ANSWER ME!" he bellowed.

Instead,the dragon spread his wings and took off. "Vexx,i will remember that name. Watch your back."

"You coward! Get back here and fight!" Vexx turned his head away,tail twitching. "The nerve...*sigh* hopefully the kid is still around-" he stopped,after hearing a small sound in a bush that the dragon had been standing in front of. After a few seconds he heard it again and immediately ran over. Parting the plant,he saw what he had come for,however seeing it's condition he gasped in horror.

"Oh...my...what did he...oh you poor thing..." he muttered,as he picked Voltara up carefully. "I gotta find someone,anyone who could help!" he said,spreading his own wings and taking off. While flying,he looked down and studied the child. "A purple dragon...i'm actually carrying a purple dragon. I don't believe it..."

"Little one? Can you hear me?" he spoke softly,trying to rouse the child. After a moment he got the response of a small whimper. "It's alright...i'm gonna find help. You'll be alright."

"VOLTARA! WHERE ARE YOU!?" screamed a voice from not far in the skies. Vexx practically skid to a halt upon hearing it and was equally surprised when the child squeaked in reply,but it wasn't nearly loud enough.

"Do you know that voice?" he asked her. She gave a slight nod and he instantly took off toward it. "So the kid has a parent and what did the voice say? Voltara? I'm gonna assume the kid's female in that case." he thought. Not long after,he saw where the voice originated. Another dragon was in the air looking for her.

"Hey over there!" he called out. "Is this your kid!?" The dragon almost knocked them both out of the sky with how fast he came over.

"Oh dear ancestors above! There you are little one!" he exclaimed,quickly taking the child. "Now..." he turned to Vexx with a snarl. "Why was she with you?"

"So it is a girl." "Don't get the wrong idea buddy! I found her after a large dragon attacked her! That wound wasn't my doing!"

It was then that Venus noticed Voltara's wound and forced breathing. His heart both raced and broke into two as he quickly flew down back to their cave and started trying to treat her. Vexx followed slowly,unsure of Venus' hostility. "Can you help her?" he asked,calmly

"Y...Yes...i was taught how to heal and i was able to find some healing herbs while i was looking for food. I think she might've been poisoned,did you get a good look at the dragon that attacked her?"

Vexx thought back to his appearance. For some reason,it was a blurred though but one thing he did remember was the glowing venom seeping from the sides of his mouth. "He was a Poison element dragon,i can tell ya that much. I don't know how lethal it is though."

"It's alright,i think she'll be alright...Voltara? Little one,can you wake up for me?"

The familiar voice allowed her mind to stir from how numb it felt and the emerald color became noticeable.

Attempting to hide his tears,he ran his paw down her neck and back soothingly. "I don't know if you understand any of what's going on,but i need you to drink this. I know you're hungry and the plants I've added will make you feel better,alright?"

He put a cup made of wood he had made earlier in front of her. Her vision was still blurry so it was hard to make out what it was,but once again that same voice echoed in the back of her mind. Smell it.

She obeyed and took a whiff of it and scrunched her nose at it. Venus allowed himself to smile. "It's alright. I know it smells a little off but it'll help. Trust me."

The young hatchling looked at her friend and then back at the cup. Don't trust him. This startled her. "Don't...trust him? But..."

This time she did not obey the voice,she saw no malice in Venus' eyes and her stomach rumbled again and she didn't want to be hungry anymore. Shaking her head,she started to drink the liquid. "Huh. It's not as bad as i thought. It's actually quite tasty."

Once she was finished,Venus praised her and with smile she rolled over and fell asleep.

Vexx poked his head in and looked at her. "She's adorable. The blue really contrasts with her scales."

Venus nodded. "I'm Venus by the way,sorry i didn't say it earlier."

Vexx smiled. "Don't worry about it,i'm Vexx. Nice to meet ya."

"Where did you come from though?" Venus asked. "I didn't think there were any other dragons around here besides her and I."

"I'm a bit of a wanderer. Don't usually stay in one place long."

Venus wondered for a moment. "If i can convince him to stay here...i'll have more help with keeping her safe and i don't want to risk anything after today. If Vexx hadn't found her she'd be...well i don't want to think about it..."

"Do you have any place to sleep tonight,Vexx?" he asked as he was walking out.

He shook his head. "Nope. Why?"

"Do you want to stay here? It wouldn't be too hard to make another nest in here. There's room for one more."

He looked surprised. "Are you sure? I mean you don't have to-"

Venus placed a paw on Vexx's shoulder. "I insist."

Vexx's smile grew wider. "Alright,here let me help."

Venus shook his head. "Nah,stay here with Voltara. I'll go get the materials." With that he was in the skies again.

Vexx gladly walked back in and sat next to the child who slept with a blank slate of a face. "If that monster comes after you again,he'll have hell to pay."

A venomous shadow tore threw the sky in a bitter rage after what had transpired between him and that dragon named Vexx.

"Damn,i'm sure he found the kid and knowing how stubborn her species is i doubt she's dead. I need to get her away from them and make sure no one will interrupt us. Luckily i know just the dragon to help with that." he thought,finishing with a devilish smile. Hours later,as the sun was beginning to set he arrived at the place he was looking for. A clearing with a large cave that had red crystals growing out of the sides.

"Shealyne! Show yourself!" he yelled.

Within seconds and the sound of a huff a scarlet colored female with a lean, slightly slender build came walking out. Her underbelly was white, though her chest plates were covered with a single black diamond for each one. Her wing membranes are red, though fade to white at the ends of her wings. Her eyes were an icy blue as well. She looked to be about twenty-four.

"Well, if it isn't Fentus. What brings you here?" she asked,feigning a polite overlay.

"There's a problem."

"There's a lot of problems. A lot of them you have. " she scoffed.

"Cut it,Shealyne. This issue threatens all of dragon kind."

"I'm sorry,what? What could-"

"You know about the "Dark Age",correct?"

She froze,shock and fear evident in her eyes. "You don't mean..."

Fentus nodded. "Yes,history will repeat itself if this problem isn't solved."

Shealyne let herself shiver slightly. She learned of that awful age of darkness and death,but she never was one to just do as she was told.

"If i'm reading you correctly,there's another purple dragon in existence. However,i remember that was what ended that awful age. Why would we need to harm it?"

"You believe it'll save us."

Shealyne didn't respond so he continued. "It's true that a purple dragon saved us those many years ago,but also remember it was a purple dragon who nearly ended us. Do you really want to take that kind of a chance?"

Her gaze shifted to the grass beneath her claws. Many years ago she had been a killer,but she had given up that kind of a life. "Yet here is some dragon who thinks he can just waltz in and say he wants me to kill another. The nerve..."

After her mental argument with herself,she looked back up at him with an icy fire in her eyes. "Do you have any proof of what you are saying? Does it have merit?"

His answer was showing her a small purple scale in his left paw. "Does this answer your question?"

Avoiding Fentus' lifeless gaze,she bared her teeth. "What do you want me to do." she growled in a low tone,still unsure of herself.

"You're a Fear Element dragoness,are you not? Lure her away from those who foolishly protect her and then we'll finish her off."

"The dragon is female?"

"Yes."

Shealyne was a little surprised at that. "There has never been a documented purple dragon that was female...theories speculate that the reason for that was so they wouldn't be easily manipulated and wouldn't be able to breed more of their species. Any males that had bred never built their species. Odd..."

"Shealyne. Do you except my request?"

She nodded,the icy fire in her eyes fading away. "I assume you know her location?"

"Indeed,follow me."

As they took off,another figure that had heard everything panicked and raced away,hoping to get there first.
