Alright chapter 4.
The morning rays pierced through the trees, slowly the bright ray hit Neveah's head, the warmth disturbing her face causing her to wake up. She felt something warm under her, she looked down and saw Ramirez, she smiled, ever since he saved her, she became really fond of him. She laid her head back down on his chest. The sudden weight caused Ramirez to wake up, he opened his eyes to reveal the morning sky, he felt his whole body sore, that's when he remembered last night's events. The strange location where he woke up, the burning ape, the dragoness, and the griffin, the dragoness! Ramirez tried to get up but something stopped him, he looked to down to see a dragon laying on top of him he jerked slightly, soon remembering the dragon was friendly. The movement caused Neveah to wake up from her short nap. She opened her eyes to see Ramirez staring right at hers. The two were still until Neveah broke the silence, "Good morning Ramirez." Ramirez jerked slightly, he was still not used to a dragon being able to talk, and the same language too. "Ah good morning to you too… Neveah" Ramirez replied remembering the dragon's name quickly.
"Well I don't know about you, but I want to get to the dragon city fast as possible, its way safer there?" Neveah mentioned getting off Ramirez and stretched, couple bone could be heard popping. Ramirez nodded while getting up, "I guess you're right, I really don't want to face off with another griffon again." Ramirez grabbed his revolver and secured it in his pants. "Well the dragon city as you can see is just down this mountain so let's get to it." Neveah said pointing a wing at the Warfang. "At least it's going downhill and started to walk down the mountain heading towards the dragon city, Neveah following.
Spyro and Cynder were heading up the stairs that lead up to the wall battlements of Warfang, the two dragons looked over the horizon, embracing each other with their wings. It wasn't everyday that they got experience a moment like this, ever since the war started with griffins, Spyro and Cynder have been fighting to protect the city and its people from the invading attempts from the griffins. Cynder looked at Spyro, in her eyes he was the most handsome dragon she had ever laid eyes on, of course there were other dragon that had caught her attention but her love for Spyro was strong and nothing could break the bond that she shared with the dragon that sat next to her. She looked back the horizon; she could see the shinning green grass trees in some parts and to one side the mountain that towered over Warfang.
"It's a wonderful morning don't you think?" Cynder asked looking back at Spyro who seemed to be troubled.
"Huh, what?, ah yeah Cynder it is a wonderful morning." Spyro replied after being broken from his trance. Cynder seemed to notice this and asked what was wrong.
"Spyro is everything alright, you seemed troubled by something, is it the missing squad." Spyro looked at her and simply nodded, "Yeah, I am just worried, what if something happened, what if they needed our help, we are here doing nothing."
Cynder nuzzled Spyro's chin, "Don't worry the Guardians said that they would send out a search and rescue team, to see if they can find out what happened to the our squad mates." Spyro just sighed, "I guess we should head down to the Temple and see what the Guardians are planning." The two dragons flew down; when they landed they saw a whole group of humans ridding horse's heading towards the main gate of Warfang. They were waiting for the gate to be opened. Spyro and Cynder headed towards them, Spyro walked up to the horsemen who appeared to be the leader. "Excuse me sir, are you by any chance going on a search and rescue mission."
The human looked down at him, "Yes we are." Spyro was relieved that the Guardians were sending a team to look for the missing squad. "Do you mind if me and my mate join you, I am the leader of the missing squad I and I really want to help look for my teammates." Spyro gestured. Human smiled at him, "Of course, we do need eye's in sky's, it make this mission go much faster."
Spyro smiled back at him, "Thank you, what your name?"
"Rorick, Captain Rorick please to meet you Spyro." The Rorick replied. Spyro had a surprised look on his face. "Well it's nice to meet you Rorick, but if you don't mind me asking? How did you know my name?" Rorick just chuckled, "You're the Legendary Purple Dragon, every one knows you here, same with you oh mighty Cynder." Rorick finished looking towards Cynder, who had been standing behind Spyro the whole time.
Cynder looked up and blushed at being recognized as someone important. "I am pleased to meet you too Captain." The human smiled at the two dragons. "You dragons surely boost up the morale of me and my men these past battles, every human here talks how strong you dragons are, especially you two in particular, I for one am glad to be your ally." By then the gates finished opening. Spyro looked up ahead, "Alright let's get this over with" Spyro and Cynder launched themselves up onto the air and hovered, watching the search and rescue team form a two line formation, before continuing. Spyro flew just above Rorick's head, "I suggest we head over the mountain we will have a better chance finding them, the enemy's base was located just off on the other side of the mountain.
The Captain nodded and signaled his squad to take a left and head towards the mountain.
Neveah and Ramirez were already at the bottom of the mountain, they could see the city just up ahead. Ramirez soon saw in the distance what appeared to be a cloud of dust coming closer. "Hey Neveah you see that dust up ahead?" Neveah looked towards were Ramirez was staring and saw dust coming closer to them. "Yeah what do you think it's is." Neveah asked and stood still trying to identify what the mysterious cloud of dust was. Ramirez squinted harder, when the cloud of dust got closer, horses appeared in front of the dust, soon followed by humans riding them. "You seeing what I am seeing?" Ramirez asked Neveah hoping he wasn't hallucinating. Neveah noticed the humans riding the horses, and she saw what Ramirez failed to see, above the horsemen were two dragons, a purple one and a black one, she recognized them, it was Spyro and Cynder, her commanding officers. She looked to her side to see Ramirez body get tense. "Cool off Ramirez, there friends of mine, the horsemen are one of Warfang's military units, they are on our side." She shot a lightning bolt up onto the air signaling her position the search and rescue.
Spyro, Cynder, and the humans saw the lightning bolt shoot straight in air. "Spyro you did see that, it's one of ours." Cynder remarked getting excited that someone survived. "Yeah I do, Rorick, it's a friendly, when we get to their location I you to send a few of your men to secure a perimeter, there might be hostile following." Spyro ordered the Captain, who simply nodded and started bark orders at his squad.
Ramirez was still nervous, he had just spotted the two other dragons, he was still not use to seeing dragons. No later the riders came, some surrounded him and Neveah while others kept going further towards the wood, who looked as if they were looking for something. Spyro then landed behind the group, the riders made space so the dragons can get through. Right when Neveah saw Spyro she bounced towards him and hugged him tightly, Cynder getting a little jealous but let it go. "Spyro, it's good to see you;" "Same with you Neveah." Spyro said returning the hug. Neveah broke the hug and looked at Cynder, she then hugged her too, "Oh Cynder I missed you, you won't believe what been through. Neveah broke the hug."
"Neveah what happened to the rest of our squad." Spyro asked looking at Neveah who hung her head low, she looked up with a few tears appeared at the rim of her eye. She started to tell Spyro and Cynder how she and her teammates were captured and how she managed to escape, unfortunately the rest of the squad were executed at the griffin base, she then mentioned Ramirez, how he saved her from one of the griffins.
Meanwhile the dragons were taking, Rorick went up to Ramirez and started asking question, trying to find out who he was, Ramirez just simply restated his past event from when he woke up in the forest on the other side of the mountain up until where he was now. Rorick rubbed his chin, thinking about the human in front of him.
" I guess you'll be coming with us boy, the Guardians will know what to do with you." He gestured a hand at Ramirez, Ramirez hesitantly gave his hand out and grabbed the Captain's, Rorick pulled him up onto the horse, being Ramirez first time riding a horse, he felt a little light head from the horse's movement. Spyro and Cynder finished their talk with Neveah, all of them took the news bad, they saw the humans coming towards them. The group who was sent to set a perimeter came back and stopped in front of their captain, one of them came up next to Rorick.
"Sir we were not able to find any other survivors, neither any hostiles, what do you want us to do." Rorick nodded and looked at Spyro, "So master Spyro, do want us to continue the search and rescue?" Spyro sighed heavily and looked at him with teary eyes, "No captain, Neveah here is the only survivor of the missing squad the rest were executed and are no longer with us." Everyone stayed silent, even Ramirez fell sympathy for the dragons, even though he did not know them, it was still sad to hear someone's death.
"Okay, think we should head back and report this to the Guardians, I have a feeling this war is going to get a lot worse." Spyro said and launched himself into the sky, followed by Cynder and Neveah.
"Alright boys when we get in the city, you may go back to your business but I need all you back at the barracks by 10:00am sharp." Rorick ordered, getting a nod from everyone, the whole squad soon headed towards the city.
Rorick decided it was best to take Ramirez to the Guardians, they could probably answer some question that Ramirez had asked him when being interrogated. The Temple was smack dap in the middle of the city, the city being so big, it took 30 minutes for Rorick and Ramirez to get there. All awhile, Ramirez was enjoying the sightseeing; he saw many humans, dragons, and on occasion moles. That sort of creped him out more than the Dragons or Griffins did. He also may houses, and what appeared to him, hotels and apartments. Farther into the city they got see the markets, fruits, vegetables and all other types foods being sold, there were also furniture stands and jewelry stores. Ramirez also asked Rorick to describe the Guardians and the and during the lecture he learned about Spyro and Cynder and how they defeated another purple dragon, who's name was Malefore and was usually referred as the Dark Master.
Finally they arrived at the city's Temple, it was a truly magnificent building, and in the middle a tower. Rorick and Ramirez got off the horse, Rorick gave a coin to a human guard, indicating him to look after the horse, then the two proceeded into the building.
Inside were many dragons and humans, though mostly were dragons. Ramirez was as close as possible to Rorick, he was intimidates by the dragons guards, they were all muscular and well built, the silver armor that they wore making them look more intimidating, Rorick saw Ramirez situation and smirked.
At last they came to a large chamber, in front of them were to large doors, four Elite dragons guarding the entrance. Rorick walked up to one of the guards and told them that he needed the Guardians assistance urgently, the guards just nodded and let him in, Ramirez right behind him. When the two entered, they saw Spyro, Cynder, and Neveah talking to the Guardians, no doubt it was about what happened to Neveah. All them turned around to see the two humans walk in. Terrador looked at Ramirez and smile.
"Ah you must be the human who saved young Neveah." Terrador stated. Ramirez only smiled, "Ah I guess." Neveah bounded over to him and hugged him tightly, she let of Ramirez when she realized she was squeezing the life out of him. "Looks like some missed me." Ramirez smirked, seeing Neveah blush at his comment. The two were interrupted by Terrador waking over to them. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Terrador, Guardian of Earth." Ramirez nodded at him. Then Volteer came, "I am Volteer the Guardian of Lightning." And last Cyril came up, "And I am Cyril, the Guardian of ice." Ramirez smiled, "It's an honor to meet you Guardians."
Spyro and Cynder came up, Ramirez saw them, "And you two must be the Legendary Dragons I heard so much about, Spyro and Cynder, it is a great honor to meet you too." Ramirez stated. "Like wise." The two dragons replied in unison. Ramirez turned his attention backed to the Guardians. "If you guys don't mind, I need to clear out something."
"And what may that be young one?" Cyril replied. Ramirez scratched his head, "Well, you see, I need to know where I am because last time I checked this planet did not have dragons or Griffins, and we humans were highly more advanced with weapons."
Everyone was surprised to what Ramirez said. Terrador sat on his haunches, "Hmm last time I recall dragons dwelled here in the Dragon Realms for the past thousands years." What caught Ramirez attention was when the Terrador said this place was known as the dragon realms.
"Hold on a minute, did you just say this place is known as the dragon realms?" Ramirez asked the green dragon. Terrador and everyone else nodded. "Holy shit, that means I am no longer in earth, that lightning that struck me must of gotten me here somehow, wow, just wow, this totally crazy, I am going to lose my mind in a few seconds." Ramirez blurted out, everyone looking at him with confused faces. Ramirez noticed them staring as if he was crazy.
"What?, I bet you would be freaking out if you were transported into a different dimension or world, this is totally weird and its freaking me out." Ramirez sat down on the floor and started to take in deep breaths and exhaling to calm his self down. Neveah went up to him and put a wing around him and set her head under his chin, trying to comfort the human. "Calm down Ramirez, I am sure there is an explanation as to why you ended up here, there has to a reason to why you would het plucked out of your world and sent to ours." Neveah said in a calm voice.
"I guess you're right, well it looks like I am going to be staying here for a while." Ramirez scratched Neveah's chin and slowly got up. Terrador also got up, "I think it would be best if we all got some sleep, we still have a war going on, we need to be prepared, at any moment we could be attacked." Everyone nodded, even though it was still 8 pm everyone was tired. Everyone headed to their rooms, hoping they would be attacked at the middle of their sleep.
Ramirez, Neveah, and Rorick were walking down the hall passing several rooms, until Neveah stopped at a particular one. "Alright Neveah, nice meeting you, sorry for what happened to your teammates, it happens all the time, we just got to keep on fighting harder, soon enough this war will be over." Rorick said, he turned around and started walking, Ramirez was about to follow him when a tail wrapped around his arm. "And where do you think you're going, hmm?" Neveah asked getting a confuse look from Ramirez. "Ah, I am going to see if I could find a room." Rorick was waiting impatiently for Ramirez to come he wanted to get some sleep bad before his general would send him on another mission. Neveah looked up at Rorick, "You can go on ahead Rorick, Ramirez is going with me." Neveah told the captain, a smile on her face, tail still wrapped around Ramirez. The Captain just chuckled, "That's fine by me just don't get him to sore tonight, I am need him in good condition for his training tomorrow." The captain stated back. "Sore tonight, what does he mean… Wait what, training?... training for what?" Ramirez asked the captain who just gave him a smirk before replying, "Well you are going to stay here for a long time, and there's a war going on, you're going to need combat skills to survive here, so I suggest you take up on this offer and come to training tomorrow at the Human military barracks, I'll be in my office waiting 10:00 sharp, do be late." With that said the captain walked away leaving a shocked Ramirez.
Neveah giggle and started to pull him into her room, "Don't worry about it, plus you said you wanted to work out more here's your chance." Ramirez and Neveah noticed that the room was small. The walls were a light blue, with a white ceiling, the floor was all carpet, up further in the room was the bead and all the way in the back was an opening that leads towards the balcony. Ramirez noticed there was only one bead, "Uh… Neveah, there's only one bead." Neveah just giggled, well I guess you will be sleeping with me hun." Ramirez was taken aback from the dragoness response. He didn't had time to recover, the dragoness dragged him toward the bed, she laid down, belly facing upwards, she pulled down Ramirez on top of her. Ramirez was blushing his cheeks deep red, even though they were different species, he still felt nervous, no girl has gone this far with him and Neveah was doing these actions as if she done it so many times.
Neveah set the human down to her side and hugged him putting her head under his chin, Ramirez was used to it that he didn't even mind, as always he started to rub her neck, until the two fell asleep. Ramirez had only one thing in mind. "Shit I didn't even eat dinner, wtf?"
Wow the longest chapter I ever written, well I hope you guys enjoyed it. Well it looks like Ramirez has combat training, a war is raging between the dragons and Griffins, and why does Neveah act like she does around Ramirez? Well until next time, peace out.
