(Voltara...)
The voice caused the young dragoness to stir. It was the same voice from the other day,the same low female voice that told her not to trust Venus. Irritated,Voltara rolled over to ignore it,especially since she was still too tired from her ordeal from yesterday to get up just yet.
(Voltara...)
"Grrr..." "For the love of...what do you want?"
(How dare you do what he asked! That stupid cure of his could've killed you!)
The child placed a paw over her muzzle in annoyance. "Trust is a wonderful thing. Who are you anyway?"
(Heheh...just a friend.)
She huffed,rolling onto her back,careful not to crush her wings. "A name. I want a name!"
(Yes,there's a lot of things in life we want,but that doesn't mean we need it.)
With that,the voice went silent,leaving Voltara awake,annoyed,and bored. Opening her eyes and letting the light into them she saw that it was already mid-morning.
"Voltara?"
She rose her head toward the voice and saw Vexx sitting in a nest,smiling warmly at her. She cocked her head to the side in confusion and he decided to answer her silent question.
"I don't know if you remember...you were kind out of it,but i found you and brought you home. Afterwards Venus offered to let me stay here. Right now he asked me to look after you while he got some things."
Made sense to her. She nodded and smiled then slowly got up,walked over,and rubbed her head on his left front leg.
"Aw,stop being so cute. "
She giggled at this. "Just try and stop me!" she thought as she started purring which only added to it.
"Alright...why don't we go play outside before i die from the cute?"
Voltara was outside before he'd even finished his sentence. She proudly soaked in the warm sunlight as to her it just felt so good. It made her so happy that she even spread her legs apart and spread her small wings so she could soak as much in as she could. Vexx laughed at this since she looked pretty funny doing it.
"You like sunlight,don't ya little one?"
She looked at him as he walked toward her and jumped up and down,squeaking in delight.
"Gods,could she get any cuter?" Alright,why don't we find something to play with?" As he started looking he noticed Voltara starting to roll in the grass and even letting out a small sneeze when some of it got on her nose. "Whatever Venus used on her yesterday really seems to have done the trick. I do have to wonder though,what did Venus mean when he said he didn't think there were any other dragons around? Did something happen and that's why he's out here alone with such a unique dragoness?"
"Um...hello?" called a voice from the treeline.
Both Vexx and Voltara stopped and looked toward the source of the voice where a young dragoness made herself known.
She had golden scales with a light grey underbelly. Yellow eyes, two horns on the top of her head curving backwards,one horn on each side of the side of her head jutting slightly, same color as underbelly. She was physically fit, but a bit small,despite not looking much older than Venus and Vexx.
"Yes? Can I help you?"
"Oh! Hello,um is there a-"
She was stopped by a purring Voltara snuggling with her left front leg like she had done with Vexx,who immediately snatched her away from the other female.
The dragoness looked hurt by the reaction and so did the child. "Voltara,you shouldn't do that with just any creature you meet. Not everyone will like you the way Venus and I do." Like i'm one to talk,she trusted me instantly...
Voltara huffed and squirmed in his grip until she got free,then she ran right back to the dragoness and stood in front of her defiantly.
"I'm Nayer by the way." she said suddenly,trying to break the tension.
"I'm Vexx and...that little scrap is Voltara."
"So that's your name. Interesting name for a purple dragon."
Vexx narrowed his amber eyes at the female. "You know of her? From where?"
"Through the grapevine. Purple dragons are kinda hard to hide."
"You...you heard it from a Poison dragon didn't you? Besides Venus and I,he's the only other one who knows of her existence! You're an ally of his aren't you!?"
Upon being reminded of him,Voltara's eyes coated in fear and she started backing away from Nayer. Then the voice in her head spoke again. (Attack her,now!)
"What!? No! What could i do!?"
The voice didn't answer her so she just made a beeline for the den,although Nayer was fast and she swooped her off the ground with her tail.
"Oh no you don't!" Vexx yelled,tackling her to the ground causing her to drop Voltara onto the grass.
"Let me go! You don't understand! I'm not trying to hurt her!"
"Shut it! Like i would believe anything you have to say!"
Wings and tails flailed as they continued to wrestle,neither letting go of the other.
Voltara gulped. "What do i do? I'm to small to seperate them and i can't talk! What do i do,what do i do..."
(Find Venus)
"What!? I thought you didn't trust him!"
(We have no other choice. Go!)
She nodded and dashed into the forest. "Then why did you tell me to attack her!?"
"Fentus,are you absolutely sure about this?" Shea asked,as she flapped her wings to keep up as the mid-summer breeze continued to assault her face.
"Of course i am. I saw that creature with my own eyes. Tried to play off like she was friendly. Well,i saw right through that light in her eyes. Behind that shining green there was nothing but a void of gray."
Shea's blue eyes clouded over in thought again. "I don't know about this. At all. This dragoness seems completely harmless...but then again...he seemed harmless too. Gods,it's so hard to decide! It's like half my heart is one way and the other half is another..."
"Shealyne. Down there. Do you see him?" Fentus asked,snapping her out of her clouded gaze.
"Where? Do you mean that dragon down there? He's not purple and i thought you said it was female."
"She is,that's her protector. One of them anyway."
"Alright...what about him?"
"We're going to go down there and remove him from the picture. Got that?"
"Wait,i thought you just wanted me to lure the dragoness away! If he's alone doesn't that mean she is too? Why don't we just go for her?" she tried to reason. She didn't want to kill someone innocent of the purple one's crimes.
"If he is alone then we might as well just remove him. Then he won't be able to come after us for vengeance. Come." he stated,diving down to the land below.
Shea sighed. "There's no way in hell i'm gonna do this,Fentus. I will not let myself fall into this pitfall again."
She turned to fly away but something in her heart told her; You cannot let him do this. Stop him. Sighing again,she followed the dead-eyed dragon and dove toward the forest floor.
"HEY! YOU THERE!" bellowed a voice. Venus turned his head away from the tree he was picking fruit from and looked at the source. Two more dragons.
"What is this? Where are all these dragons coming from?"
"Are you deaf!? Do you hear me!?" the male yelled.
A female landed beside him,frowning. "Yes,i'm sure he hears you and i'm sure the whole forest does too."
Venus gulped. "Um,yes? Can i help you?"
Fentus moved quickly,pinning Venus to the tree behind him and raising one of his tail blades to his neck. "Where is it?"
"Fentus! What are you doing! Stop!" Shea yelled.
"Shut up and come help me!"
Venus had his eyes shut due to the volume of Fentus' voice while he tried to think of a plan. "What is he talking about? What is he looking for?"
He opened one eye and saw glowing green venom dripping from the corners of his mouth and that's when it hit him. "He's the one who tried to kill Voltara! I'll bet that's what he wants! Well buddy,that's not gonna happen!"
He was about to unleash himself full force on Fentus,when a small cry sounded out through all three's ears. Each turned and saw the little purple female standing defiantly at the group,legs spread out and head high.
Shea's face was filled with horror. "The purple dragoness...is a child!? Fentus you are so dead! How could you not tell me that she was a child!?"
Still holding onto Venus,he turned to answer. "Because i knew if i did you would've said no. You blind yourself with a love for children,but i do not show such mercy. Little freak! You listen and listen good!"
Voltara lost her angry stance and it softened,indicating she was listening intently.
"You've got two choices. Surrender and die,or he does."
Shea's blood boiled. "If you think i'm gonna stand here and let you-"
"WHY!?"
She stopped as all eyes were once again on the purple hatchling. "She spoke..." Fentus thought.
"Why do one have to die!?" she asked,using bad grammar. "Why can't all live?"
Fentus growled and moved the blade into Venus neck,just enough to draw blood. Shea started forward but he bared his teeth at her. "You move and they BOTH die."
She halted but snarled and growled at him to show her distaste of this.
Seeing all of this,Voltara's heart just sunk. Venus looked so afraid...the dragoness was so angry and the Poison dragon seemed so vengeful...
Fear,Anger and Vengeance...those three emotions were what were flooding the child's mind right now and she let it. As it built up,she felt herself gaining a strange warmth in her maw and in seconds it was almost painful to keep in. Finally she decided to unleash it on Fentus and boy did she. She snapped her eyes open which were now coated in a bright red light which seemed to shield the green and opened her mouth. An array of red shock-waves flew in Fentus' direction and boy did he not expect it. Venus saw the opportunity,shoved him off and, ducked. The blast did connect but despite how strong it looked,Fentus was a much older dragon than her,therefore his will beat hers,shielding him from the attack.
However he was not an idiot. "She has learned to talk and use her first element...she must die soon,but it will not be today."
With that he spread his wings and vanished. Shea and Venus,who had shielded themselves with their wings gawked at Voltara. She breathed heavily and then flopped down on the greenery. Within seconds Venus was in front of her and she looked up,giving him a cheeky smile.
"Voltara...that was incredible! How did you do that!?"
She sat up and shrugged. "Dunno. I got angry and then that happen."
"Venus,was it?" Shea asked,walking over slowly with sorrow coating her voice.
"Yes,who are you? Did you come for her too?" he asked,letting a growl escape his leaking throat.
"Yes and i am ashamed. Fentus tried to get me on his side by making this child sound like a terrible threat,but..."
"Yes?"
"I will aid you in protecting her from him. No doubt he will come after her again and i want to make sure he does not accomplish his goal."
"Hm..." Venus thought about it,he could use all the help he could get,but after what just happened he didn't exactly trust her words,so he turned to Voltara. "What do you think little one? You think she's telling the truth?"
Voltara looked up at her. She was very big and usually Voltara found that intimidating but she couldn't help but smile at her honesty. Plus she thought Shea looked really pretty. On wobbly legs,she moved herself over and reached out her arms. "Up! Uppy!" she said.
Shea smiled and obliged,standing on her back legs and picking her up with her front. She used her wings to stabilize herself. Voltara let her back legs,tail and wings dangle and she giggled in the Fear dragoness' arms,causing Shea's eyes to light up a soft red. "You're very cute."
"Well i guess that answers that. She's quite trusting if you couldn't tell."
Holding the child close,she gave him a grim look. "That can be a bit more an issue than you think...she needs to be careful."
After getting back to the cave,the three dragons stumbled upon a dirt covered Vexx and Nayer and they were both relieved when they saw Voltara but Nayer nearly ripped Shea's head off until Venus explained everything.
"You really should've let me explain Vexx. I only wanted to keep her safe. I knew that she was being hunted."
Vexx was flushed in embarrassment,although it wasn't very noticeable with his scale color. "Yeah,my bad..."
"On a a happier note,Voltara here not only spoke...she has an Element she can use!" Venus chimed.
"Really? Way to go little dragoness!" Vexx praised.
"Amazing sweetie! I'm sure you gave him what for!" Nayer exclaimed,nuzzling her.
She giggled in embarrassment at the praise,but stood proud. "You bet i did! No one hurt Vwenus!"
Shea joined in with a grim look. "It was indeed impressive child,but do you know what exactly you used on Fentus?"
"Not a clue." she beamed,looked up innocently.
"You all do,i assume?" she asked the others. Only Venus nodded. "Yes,the Fear element. The one i assume you are a master of?"
"Yes,i am indeed a Fear dragoness and i must say...it's a bit of a scary thing to learn. You learn to master it by experiencing true fear and wishing it on others. Through which you could even control the minds of others. Fear can make a creature do things they would never normally do."
Voltara hopped up and down,only coming halfway up Shea's leg. "But! I don't want anyone to fear!"
Shea let her face shift into a soft grin. "Fear is a natural thing little one and that's what you felt when Fentus had Venus restrained. You do not need to make others fear you,but you will have to use it if you need to keep yourself from death. I can teach you how to use it the way you're meant to."
Voltara suddenly got excited. "You can!? Wow! That's awesome! Can the others do that too?"
"Nonono little one. We're not like you. We can only master one element. Mine is Electricity,so when you discover that i can teach you." Nayer explained.
"Same for me when you discover the Fire element. I'll do what i can to help you master it." Vexx told her.
She then turned to Venus. "What about you? What you do?"
"I use the Shadow element,little one. If one day you discover that too i will teach you what i know."
"YAY! Everyone is so awesome!" she said gleefully as she started to jump around again,causing everyone to laugh.
Later on,as the moon fell and everyone ate it was decided that the females would stay in the cave with the child while the males would stand guard and soon they all took those positions. As Nayer and Shea were preparing to go to sleep,they heard a small moan from their responsibility. "Voltara? Child what's wrong?" Shea asked.
"My mouf...it hurts."
Nayer jumped up and nearly hit her head on the roof. "Oh of course! You're probably teething. Do we have something she can chew on?"
"Here,this is something i made for her while i was out." Venus responded,ducking into the den and handing Nayer a sturdy branch his covered with extra layers of bark.
"Thanks Venus! Here little Volty,chew on this."
The child took it quickly and went to town and boy did she love it. She even started wrestling with it as the two female settled into the nests. "Volty?" Shea asked eye ridge raised.
"Yup! I thought it'd be a cute nickname."
Well,i guess it is. Fits her i guess."
From a distance a black dragon with blue underbelly and spines watched. As he turned to walk away,he flashed a smile at the sleeping hatchling.
