White Dragon 2-8

A/n

All righty then! This chapter is for the most part unchanged. There were still a few additions most towards the later half. Other than that, I like how this chapter flows and what information is given in this chapter. Boom here is chapter 8. I admit it is much shorter than what I write on average, but that is how it worked out for this one. I hope this answers some of the questions I have left for you readers to guess. On with the chapter!

Chapter 8: Answers At Last

I looked around the cavern to see it was actually more beautiful being here in person than it was in the visions. The crystals that came out of the walls shimmered and glittered as if to welcome me. The orbs that I had been following were… floating at the opposite end of the cavern right in front of the blank wall. I made my way to the wall as I had every time in the visions and as in the dreams the wall began to glow and the intricately decorated doors appeared on the wall making it no longer blank. The double doors clicked then creaked as they opened inward. The orbs went into the doorway that was on the wall. I walked to the doorway, which was rippling with a shimmering white liquid like substance. I took a deep breath before I made the final steps forward and went through the doorway at long last!

I kept walking forward… into nothingness? I couldn't see where I was going as everything around me was white. The floor or ground I was taking strides on felt... well I didn't feel anything really except minor pressure on the bottom of my paws. So I was walking forward to who knows where, on ground that may or may not exist; what a conundrum I am in.

It felt like I had walked for a small eternity, when the white around me began to change and disappear. In place of the white came… well… I guess you could say the scenery that should be there, at least that is what it appeared to be becoming as colors came into being and shape sharpened. It was kind of like being a character in some kind of animation and having the background being drawn in behind you. On the left and right of me appeared off white circular columns spaced every four meters and behind them was marble walls the color of sand. The ceiling was lit from lighting of some sort that was either on or in the archways that were atop the columns and spanned between them. The ceiling itself was slightly vaulted though not too much of an angle and was a sand color like the walls. It was obvious I was currently in a large hallway; I just don't know where it leads!

I kept going forward and shortly after the world around me sharpened and took on the scene I saw; I came out to an open space. The said space was in actuality a large room; like one I remember seeing on a field trip once. Really though the trip was sheer torture at the time! It was so boring back when I was a kid; for it was trips to the library. The town I grew up in didn't have a library, but an hour's journey away was a decent size city that did have one. This room reminded me of the foyer of the library. At the far end were double doors that led assumedly to whatever this place was. Yet in the middle of this room was a 'check in' desk or that is what came to mind. There was even a bell slightly off center on the right.

The 'room' was as silent as the grave; every step I took echoed around the room! I strode to the desk and looked around; I couldn't spot any secretary or attendant. I was about to ring the bell, when I heard a scuffling to my right. I turned and glanced along the right wall, trying to pierce the shadows that hugged the wall.

"Who is there?"

Out of the shadows came a white dragon. He looked a couple of years older than me... maybe two were I to give a more specific guess. The dragon was a few inches taller than me in height, putting him at around ten feet four inches. If draconic proportions hold true as I have observed; his length would be in the range of eleven foot three inches or more. At our young age in the view of dragons, the length usually is about eleven inches to sixteen inches more than their height; the difference gets larger as dragons age. His scales were almost the same shade of white as mine; tad darker than my own, though you had to really look hard to notice that difference. The dragon's underbelly and wing membranes were a dark metallic silver color.

I noted that as I was checking him out and sizing him up; he was doing the same with me. His horns... um how to say it? They were different; not the bad kind of different! His horns came out about two inches behind his eyes and just above and in front of his ears. The went out for about four inches then curve ninety degrees to face and then went forward, parallel to his face. After the horns twisted forward; they were the same length as his snout and the curve outwards towards the ends. I leaned to the right as he leaned to my left, his right to see one another's tail blade. His tail blade looked like the blade you would find on a scythe. The blade connected between where the beard and the heel of the scythe blade or the flat end that would be attached to the pole. And the blade curved upward and the sharp side of the blade was upward.

Finally we both looked back up and our gazes met; I found myself staring into ocean blue eyes. All I could do for a full minute was stare dumbfounded into the dragon's eyes. I... I knew those eyes! His appearance may have changed like he aged; but it was my first true friend! Yet that's not possible! I forced myself to speak, however I could only choke out one word.

"K-Koren?!"

The dragon, who was my friend from long ago; suddenly broke out in a smile.

"Asrey… wait it is Saber now is it not… but it is you?!"

I only nodded stupidly. The next thing I know I feel something slamming into me, knocking me to the ground; being embraced tightly.

"You are finally here! Thank the ancestors you have come at last!"

Its official, I have no freaking clue what is going on here! I tried to push off Koren, yet I was unsuccessful. I had so many questions; just the ones about the dragon hugging me were numerous.

"Whoa, hold it! Give me some space!"

Koren after a moment calmed down and got off me. I got up and looked at Koren.

"Okay Koren, there are some questions that need to be answered."

Koren cocked his head to the side, but focused on me.

"First, how are you here? You died years ago… just before I left the dragon realm."

My last sentence was said in pain; for since I remembered that experience, I had to an extent blamed myself for Koren's fate. Koren was silent for a little while, still after a time he spoke.

"Yes I did die… it is not your fault Saber. But I am still here… I do not know how I am; but I am."

… Ugh… I, very much dislike the dragon mentality! It is nice to know Koren doesn't blame me for his death. Nonetheless that explains… absolutely NOTHING!

"You died… got it, however that explains nothing as to how you got here."

Koren shrugged.

"I do not know. One moment I feel something going through my chest and then falling; next thing I find myself in this room. It was pretty unnerving to tell you the truth."

… Again, no information relating to how he got from the ruins of Carona approximately fifteen years ago and ended out here. At least he was disconcerted about being here when he first arrived. Koren continued speaking.

"However, I had not been looking around here when I met someone. He was a really nice dragon; kind of reminded me of Arkanis a little."

Someone that made him recollect Arkanis? That was a compliment if I ever heard one. … Wait if Koren had someone to meet him then why did I… Oh wait… I suppose that would be why Koren is here; isn't it?

"Okay… little of this makes sense to me, but let us go with the question, where are we?"

Koren smiled at my question.

"I have been waiting for you to ask that."

Yet instead of answering me Koren pull me forward towards the set of double doors. He opened them and Koren led me through the double doors. The difference in the light quality and magnitude was huge! I had to squint to prevent myself going blind! Once I got used to the level of brightness I found that Koren and I were out onto some type of balcony. As I approached the edge of the balcony; Koren turned to me and smiled a little wider.

"Welcome my friend, to the Ethereal Archives!"

I have prided myself that I don't surprise easily, even since I got back to the dragon realm; still this is one of the rare times that I was shocked and amazed into silence! And what a sight met my eyes! There were books! More books than I have EVER seen in my life… more than all the books combined I have seen IN my lifetime! Book shelves lined the walls farther than I could see; they seemed to go on indefinitely ahead of the balcony I stood on. Those shelves weren't just on one level or floor either! I looked down below and I think I got the view of what can be considered a bottomless pit or the closest idea to it. I glanced upward and got the same concept in my view… a pit that was just as bottomless going up not down.

There also, if I was seeing right were large archways that went off on the sides of the Way I was looking now. I observed that there appeared to be sections in this place where there was… a space or hole… perhaps for some kind of lift system. That would be logical for as many floors that there are here… whatever the number… I think it better I don't know. I caught sight of parts of the lift system I had guessed about a moment ago. It seemed to be made up of a large platform that could go; up, down, forward or backward. And it had no visible guidance wire or anything to guide the lifts in the direction it went; it all appeared to be done by an unseen means at least that was what I could see.

The other point of interest that had me gaping like an idiot was that this 'library' or archive as Koren had called it was full of people. When I say people, I use it as the broad and general term. There were dragons and dragonesses both white scaled. Cheetahs and many other creatures I could recognize to an extent. I mean there were 'humans' with… were those pointy ears?! What the… are they elves or something?! I didn't think they actually existed! However, there were also creatures I had no idea what they were as I had never seen anything quite like them!

"Uh Koren… how is there so many others here? I mean the supplies that would be needed to support this many would be… I do not know, huge and then some."

"Actually… you are the odd one out here."

I looked at Koren not understanding what he meant.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you are… um… well… the only…"

Koren's voice dropped in volume to where even I couldn't hear.

"I am sorry I did not catch that last bit."

Koren looked at me with a somewhat sad expression.

"You are the only one who is alive here."

I stared blankly. 'The only one who is alive here'? Does that mean that all these beings here are dead like Koren? … Soo… I'm surrounded by dead people… cue awkward silence. … Why do I get the sudden urge to say 'I see dead people'? And yet somehow the dead ones here are… like they were when they were alive? This defies logic in so many ways it is beyond mind boggling!

"I will not ask how that is supposed to work and just say okay that is cool; I think?"

Koren perked up and had his smile again. He then pulled me along, down a stairway on the left side of the balcony. I was dumbfounded by all this place had to offer and the… 'Inhabitants' therein as well. I was staring left then right trying to take everything in, though I was having trouble processing this all. Everyone here was doing all sorts of things from reading to having discussions; even telling, I would guess stories or something.

All the while Koren was pulling and tugging me along. I began to wonder what he was so intent on showing me. I decided to ask what he was so pressed to show me.

"Um Koren…"

Koren stopped mid stride and glanced back at me.

"Yeah?"

"Well I would assume that you are taking me somewhere specific?"

Koren nodded.

"Are you going to clue me in and tell me where?"

"You will see, he has wanted to meet you!"

Koren picked up where he had stopped and resumed pulling me along. Well Koren apparently wanted me to meet someone he knew here. I suppose I am along for the ride then.

As we kept going to wherever this one Koren wanted me to see; I saw more rooms in this seemingly endless archive. There were surprisingly rooms for sleeping… hey if everyone here is dead yet not dead; I would think they wouldn't need sleep, right? This is so confusing to me! We, after traveling for a while went through one of the side archways.

Then I got a view of a… dining room? No, more a conference room… council chamber, yes that is the term I was looking for. The room itself was longer than it was wide. There was a table in the center; lined on all four sides with chairs. I have no idea why there would be such a room like this here, but this place has been making little if any sense to me for as long as I have been here. We exited on the side opposite of the one we entered on and continued out journey to this person Koren wants so much for me to come into contact with.

Eventually, Koren led me into a smaller room than the ones we had gone through thus far in this place. It reminded me of a kind of study; there were a couple of reasons I think that. The first would be the bookshelves that lined one wall. Perhaps it was an eerie glowing orb on a pedestal in the center of the room. I think however, it was the desk that solidified the impression to me of a study. The desk was on the opposite side of the door Koren and I came in from. Behind the desk was what looked like a wall made of multiple panes of glass that showed the starry night sky. Nice backdrop in my opinion; I like the night sky as it was what I watched when I got time alone back on earth.

I looked to my left and saw that there was a bed on the far side of the room I glanced to the right and spotted a circle of chairs or… maybe sofas by the size… anyways furniture around a table. The setup was I would assume for discussions with multiple participants.

I saw at the other end of this study was another white dragon. ... I swear I have seen more white dragons here that I had ever imagined existed! I don't think I have seen any other colors than white. Then there were the beings that weren't dragons; some I had an educated guess as to what they were... others I hadn't the faintest idea what they were! I would have to ask what was up with this place and its inhabitants later.

The dragon on the other side of the study had chalk white scales so they were somewhat lighter than mine. His wing membranes and I would assume underbelly were... I think that is the color of Platinum! That's a color I have never seen before. The dragon was like the guardians taller than me, but unlike them, it was by much more noticeable margin. By my best estimation he was about fifteen feet tall and sixteen feet plus a third of a foot in length. Even the guardians aren't that big! He had two horns that came out on the upper side of his head behind his ears. The horns curve in a slight 'U' shape point straight out behind him. Sort of similar to my own horns, now that I think about it. He also had small spines that started from the top of his neck and went down his back and continues to just before his tail blade. The interesting feature to note for this dragon, he had two lengths of hair that start at the back of his head near where the base of either horn was. Those lengths of hair fell down on either side of his neck to his chest.

I glanced at his tail blade and saw that it was made up of a one and a half foot blade and was six inches wide. There was a white line down the center for all but the last five inches. Half an inch from the end of the line is a round disk like cylinder that is three inches in diameter on the top and the bottom; the center was an inch in diameter rather than three. I saw an inch and a half empty space from the edge of the cylinder to the two points that make of the ends of the blade. Both points look like right triangles that were nearly four inches long and an inch and a half wide. The points are separated by an inch or so for the two inch gap from the edge of the cylinder to the points. This dragon's tail blade reminded me of my tail blade; for it appeared to be some kind of mechanical pieces in it.

Koren was still acting much like what I have come to expect from Cyra, not him.

"Bahamut, I have brought him! He is here at last; the friend I told you about!"

Bahamut is it? Now I have a name; all I need is a face to go with it.

"Is that right young Koren?"

His voice was a tenor; it was the best description I could come up with. ... It was unlike any I have heard in my life... Yet strangely… I feel I should know it. Bahamut turned around and I got a view of his face. My heart felt like it had stopped and was going a million miles a minute all at the same time! ... I couldn't be seeing the dragon before me correctly! His face... his face looked... nearly identical to mine! So much so that it was like I was looking at a near mirror! He even had the exact same shade of aqua green eye color as I do. I could and very likely look like him when I am older. This view and experience was surreal to me and yet it was happening right in front of me! If my jaw could have hit the floor, it would have done so with a clearly audible bang! Bahamut on the other paw appeared surprised then he had an expression of happiness and… I don't know what the other part of his expression means at all!

"So… we finally meet…"

"Saber."

Koren had supplied my name to the bigger dragon. I couldn't get my mouth to work right now as my brain was just put on suspension mode or something like that. The white dragon smiled.

"So your name is Saber is it? A nice name."

I swallowed, but the lump in my throat that had developed when I had entered this room was still there. My brain was able to finally perform a hard restart and so I got some functionality back which included my voice.

"Who are you?! Why do you look like me?!"

Bahamut chuckled softly.

"Actually, it is the other way around; you look like me. Yet where are my manners? I am Bahamut, a long time have I waited and hoped to see and meet you. I was beginning to think I would be waiting forever. That is until Koren here told me about you, then I began to hope that it was you. And now here you stand and the wait for both of us is at an end."

I just stared incredulously at Bahamut. I couldn't comprehend what he was saying. I have never met him or knew he existed! So why would I have been waiting for him?! I've never seen or met this guy before! I don't care that I'm having a feeling of déjà vu that I can't place!

"Wait… what are you talking about? You talking like you are… like a…"

"A parent? That is what I am… my offspring."

If my jaw had the ability to unhinge and stretch a lot; it would have gone through the floor... no make that a five floor minimum without stopping! Did this Bahamut just basically say he is my OLD MAN?! As in my biological male sire or one of the two who brought me into the world?! That can't be right! To hell with him looking like me! That could very well be fate being extremely whimsical! OR those two from above and below ARE AT IT AGAIN! He can't be my biological parent!

"That is NOT possible!"

I stated it as fact; for that's what I knew. Bahamut's smile faltered for a second before it returned.

"Is that what you believe or is that what you say because you do not wish to admit this?"

I was starting to get really frustrated! Bahamut was calm, cool and collected; while I was falling and crumbling apart at the freaking seams along with my whole world! I was aware somewhere in my mind that what Bahamut was saying could be true… was likely true, but… then… if so, why did I have to suffer the time in the bowels of hell that I did?! Bahamut spoke once more.

"Your egg was found on a night when the moon was silver instead of yellow, was it not?"

"Hey… yeah I remember hearing about that from Umbra once. It was not supposed to happen that night. Nonetheless the moon became the silver Lumina moon."

I shot Koren an icy glare as he was not helping me! Bahamut was proving that he could indeed be my biological parent nevertheless; it irked me more that he was! My control over my emotions was slipping. The very foundation of what I knew for facts was being torn out from under me! Shae wasn't rearing his ugly head, which was a mercy right now. But I could feel the horrid tirade of feelings that I had held in for a long time clawing their way to the surface. I was shaking with my attempts to stop these feelings from coming out, however it was futile.

"If you are… who you say you are… then why…"

The fuse I had was gone and all the dark and negative feelings I have buried in myself came pouring out of me and exploded. My head snapped back up and I glared daggers at Bahamut. Sire maybe, but NOT a parent!

"WHY WERE YOU NOT AROUND?! I live through and survived for years… the agony and torture… the wretched nightmare from the deep abyssal of HELL! … WHERE WERE YOU ALL THAT TIME?! … I was alone… forsaken… cursed… scourged… hated… by those around me! I could not even make friends when I tried!

I was getting hysterical and inconsolable and becoming more so by the second.

"AND WHERE WERE YOU DURING ALL OF THIS?! … I was beaten nearly every freaking day by the one who was supposed to be looking after and raising me… the job you are by your assertion were to be doing! I have more scars than I want to count that I will carry the rest of my life; because of that excuse for an adult man and what he did to me! That was before I started going through puberty! AND IT ONLY KEPT GETTING WORSE AS THE YEARS PASSED!"

I was yelling, at times screaming all of this at Bahamut. The feelings of loneliness and abandonment… of pain and despair, all of them poured out of me; just as the tears came from my eyes and I couldn't stop them any more than I could control these emotions. The years of suffering… of misery I had endured; had taken its toll on me. I had outwardly hid the toll, still it had worn me down emotionally into the ground. These feelings had haunted me for so long I had become use to them and so didn't open up to others because I feared what would happen without these emotions. I hated them, still I was… comfortable and familiar with them. I loathed myself for finding such horrible amenity in this pain!

"TELL ME… WHY DID I GO THROUGH THAT ALONE BAHAMUT?! IF YOU ARE MY PARENT… MY SO CALL FATHER… WHY?!"

I screamed the last phrase at him and the final word I screeched as loud as I could. I was bitter, resentful and I knew it, yet aren't parents supposed to protect their child?! If Bahamut was my 'parent'; my life shouldn't have happened as it did. He should have been there so I didn't have to live in the hell I had! I was enraged. I was hurting inside so much! The turmoil I was experiencing from the pain I was feeling after so long; I hadn't faced these feelings for ages, because they hurt so. I have little difficulty taking physical pain. Even the mental pain I felt during my first transformation felt less painful. I hate emotional pain, most likely why I distanced myself from others; unconsciously avoiding emotional pain.

I was shuddering and convulsing from my outburst. I couldn't hold back the sobs of self-pity and loathing I had for myself. Let's be honest, I was an emotional wreck at this point! I didn't know how to react or deal with emotional tumult I was in. I haven't faced this or dealt with it at all and so don't understand what to do to get past it. Bahamut's sigh was somehow audible to me. I looked at him, even though I was having trouble seeing him clearly as my eyes were flooded with tears streaming out.

"I am sorry."

Sorry…?! That's all he can think to say to me! I wanted to be mad… to get angry at Bahamut. All he says is 'sorry' for all the pain and suffering I went through; just because he didn't do his duty as a parent! However, I couldn't find the resolve to blow up at him more than I had already. I was so confused by all the emotions I was feeling.

"I sent you away so that you wouldn't have to know the horrors of war…"

I sniffed while the tears kept coming, they wouldn't stop. I laughed sarcastically in response to Bahamut's justification.

"How nice of you, daddy dearest! I missed seeing what war is like; the physical and mental crap one gets from such an experience. In exchange I get to understand societal disdain, scorn, rejection and most of all… hatred or those that are different! You did a great job pops! The best choice you could have made for me!"

It took me a moment to realize what Bahamut had said and implied. As I processed what he had said and the implications; I began to see something that didn't make sense at all. It was that realization that brought me out of the emotional wreak I had been in.

"Hold it… what do you mean sent away?"

Bahamut began telling me of the time of what he called 'the great war'. Rather a nasty time if you ask me by the sound of it. Apparently towards the end of the war; it was looking like the side of the ancient enemy would lose. But it had come at an extremely high cost on the other side. Many dragon, cheetahs, moles and even apes had died to earn this victory. For the dragons Bahamut talked about how there had been… a slaughter that had come from an unexpected source? The way he inadvertently put it… like he wanted to avoid saying anything outright; sounded like there had been a traitor and one that had been trusted before their betrayal.

Even with all this chaos of the war going on around; Bahamut had found the time to see his mate, my 'mother' fairly regularly. In which those 'visits' had resulted in my egg being laid. Bahamut then said that my mother along with many other dragons… just disappeared, which didn't make sense. Magic aside, neither things nor living beings just vanish into thin air without a hint as to what happened. The universe doesn't work like that! There had to be some explanation, even if most didn't know it or understand it.

Anyway to 'try' to save me; Bahamut came up… well invented a magic spell of some sort to send me away. The way he explained it didn't really make significant logic to me. Something about using an unusual kind of alchemy in a fashion along with… power of some kind to create a… portal? That said portal somehow against all laws and science and nature; sent me through… well time and I ended out approximately five hundred thousand years ahead of where I had been. Yeah… makes complete… sense; except for the fact time travel shouldn't be possible let alone plausible… so no sense at all!

I have to hand it to Bahamut; he can really weave an amazing fairy tale. Do I believe this crap about being in an egg hundreds of thousands of years ago? … I want to say no… yet… it could possibly explain some of the quirks I have and don't know how or why I have them in the first place. For instance being able to read the ancient script; my brain was 'wired' to read the language. Perhaps even my unusual capabilities. The original white dragons and dragonesses were a lot more powerful than those that came later, like Crystan and Koren. I don't know what to really think about all of this at this point. I just sat there on my haunches. Koren was trying to comfort me like he use to when I was a dragonet. Bahamut was just sitting unmoving and looking at me with an expression of sorrow and pity.

Through all of this, in the period of time that I had been in this place, the Ethereal Archive; the world I know has been shattered to pieces! The very foundations of what I knew had been ripped apart! And following the foundation of my world and understanding thereof being destroyed; inevitably everything else I know is brought into question of validity… so yeah… wahoo for me! I know I had said to myself I wanted to learn and discover my origins, but I didn't think it would be like this! What am I supposed to believe to be true now?!

"Overwhelmed I assume Saber?"

I glanced up to Bahamut. I was so tired; I didn't have the energy to blow up at Bahamut right now.

"Ya think?! How would you feel, if your whole world as you know it is turned upside down and broken into pieces and comes crashing down? I don't know where to start picking up the pieces or how to put them back together. Of course I am overwhelmed!"

Koren tried to cheer me up at that point.

"Well Saber… look at the bright side."

I glanced over at him. I can't see a single thing that could be considered a good or bright side to this.

"That being?"

"I bet you are not hearing voices in head right now."

I stared at Koren. Now that I took the time to consider it, I realized that Koren is right! Since I had gotten here; I haven't heard a single voice in my head. I have just been too occupied by the sights and other things to notice.

"Yes, that is correct, but how did you know that Koren?"

However, instead of Koren answering my query; Bahamut did.

"Ah that is because you are here."

I tilted my head to the side in confusion.

"Beg your pardon? What does being here have anything to do with me hearing voices?"

"Because it is from here those voices speak to you."

I was once again lost. Bahamut seemed to see I didn't understand and so continued.

"Those voices you hear are due to your connection to the Ethereal Archive. Most white dragons start to hear them around when they begin to mature."

… Ah ha, if that is true it explains why I started hearing voices when I started going through puberty. Still wonder about Shae, but that can come later. I have more information than I know what to do with already!

"So white dragons start hearing voices when they hit puberty, got it. Surprising none have gone insane yet though; I nearly did."

Bahamut looked confused. I kept going.

"I mean hearing the voices got close to making me lose it."

"Odd most do not have too much difficulty with a couple of voices."

I stared at Bahamut; did he just say a couple? I had heard far more than just a couple! Hundreds upon thousands and that's being optimistic!

"A couple you say? Try multitudes of them screaming in my head! Then do not get me started on all the images that flashed through my mind."

Bahamut looked baffled.

"That is not supposed to happen."

I laughed humorlessly.

"Oh it did; then had nightmares every night since then, rarely the same memory at any point."

"That is interesting as well as unexpected."

"You are telling me."

I had to admit, I don't exactly hate Bahamut. I don't really like him either right now; still I have a very volatile mix of emotions at the current moment. I now am left to wonder; what will my friends think of this all? Will they even believe me?! I would have a hard time conceiving that this experience had happened if I hadn't gone through it. I mean come on; a place that is like an endless library, where the dead of multiple races and species are. Sounds like a lot of crap when you hear it. It was more ludicrous than the things I have told them before now! So, should I tell my friends or not? Do I trust them enough to talk about this? I want to say I do, but this is just so outlandish!

Chapter end

A/n

Oh the twist and turns I have put into the Plot! I have been planning the subject matter of this chapter since part 1 chapter 32! I just didn't know when it would come into the story. Now that I have introduced Bahamut I can be somewhat satisfied with how things are moving. If you like this story, fav or follow, or even better leave a review. Tell me how I did, even if it is to criticize me; I take those into account too. Ask questions, can't promise I will answer them completely but I will try. The next chapter will be a bit as school work is picking up and I would like to do well; peace out all until next time!

HolyCross9

I think so too, though I will admit it worked out as a convenient excuse for them and that was the intention for the moment.

Sandshrew Master

I am always open to looking at 'other characters'. I can't promise that I will use them or if I do that it will be immediately. ArcticDragon Rider for instance showed me Voltlyn and Zindy at chapter 1 of this part and I didn't use them till later. For you and any who wish to have me look at other characters, here is the info form I work with:

Name:

Race: (if it is one that is not in the dragon realm give a short description)
