Elvarg's Destiny
Destiny Calls
Elvarg lay in her cave. Her past swarmed around her…
The baby dragon was crying. It had the full shape of Elvarg, and two dragons stared at her.
"She cannot fit into our pack."
"She must! We are dying out!"
"Then that will happen. She mustn't stay here."
Then a dark figure appeared out of thin air. He had a large, curved staff, which was carved with a fierce dragonhead at the top. "What he said is true."
"Dragon speaker!" a green dragon with a bloody tail nodded in respect.
"She mustn't stay." The Dragon Speaker said.
"Why?" the other green dragon said, outraged.
"Ereptio, it's her destiny." The Dragon Speaker said gently.
"To die?" Ereptio said, his tail lashing back and forth.
The baby Elvarg started crying. It wouldn't stop, and the Dragon Speaker nodded. They looked at her in an awkward silence. Then, Ereptio flew off. Elvarg had stopped crying, and the Dragon Speaker said, "Cruento, make her learn that she does not belong there."
"I will, Dragon Speaker, I will." Cruento said, taking the baby dragon and putting her on his back. "Do you know where she will go?"
"It is her destiny."
"So be it." Cruento narrowed his dark red eyes, and flew off into the night.
Elvarg was shaken by the rattle of bones. She looked around, and saw a puddle of blood around her body, where her wings drooped. She stared in horror. She was going to die…Her father was right. Her destiny was to die.
She slumped and Elric started flying around, looking for meat. He was barely a foot off the ground, but Elvarg was proud. This was the start of Elric's journey. Elvarg tried to join him, and she struggled to stand up. She was losing too much blood…
Elric flew over, alarmed at his mother's condition. Then he noticed the puddle of blood, on the damp cave floor. He eagerly licked at it, and Elvarg saw a sign.
Elric's eyes flashed red.
