Chapter Three: Unexpected Vision
It's been a week since Rowan was teleported from Earth to the Spiral and was made a wizard. She was given a tour of each school of magic by the two that first found her: Daniel IronHeart and Alura IronHeart, who were twins although Daniel looked older than Alura. She then took a private tour of the library until Boris, the wizard she met earlier when she tried to find the Registrar, found her and showed her even more of the library.
"This is incredible!" She mildly shouted, aware that the dog librarian whose name I forgot was near. "Beginning of the Titans, Lives of the Titans, Attack of the Titans..." A strange book caught her eye from the rest. She pulled it out and looked at the cover curiously. It was golden with orange streaks that slowly blended into red at the middle where a dark red dragon emblem was emblazed. The title was in a different language, either Spanish or Latin, but somehow she could understand the words. "Children of the Titans?" She read it before taking it with her to a table to read through it.
"The Titans, rulers of the seas, created the seas as part of the creation of the Spiral as it was one world before the War. They created fish-like warriors to protect the seas from outsiders such as Thanatos and his creation Morganthe. The Giants, rulers of ice, created the skies and ice caps within the ice as a part of the creation of the Spiral as it was one world before the War. They created bird-like, bat-like, and spirit-like warriors to help aid the protection against Thanatos. But without them knowing Morganthe ran to the crust of the world where the Dragons were, ready to fight. They created the animals and mortals to flourish the world but no warriors were made at all. The biggest Dragon of all, Dragon Titan, nearly killed Morganthe in combat but instead used his power along with his brothers, Giant Titan and Titan, to seal her away for a thousand years. During that time Dragon Titan created a family of his own, he created eleven female dragons for daughters but for his last one, he transformed into a mortal to help create his last offspring. The offspring was a girl but her eyes were dragon-like, her nails were a bit longer and sharp as actual nails, and her teeth were jagged and sharp as they revealed she was half-dragon and half-mortal. She was given the name Dragon Empress by her sisters, althought she was the youngest, and she helped name her other sisters. The first born, a bright red dragon with amber eyes was named Flaria. The second born, a black dragon with gray eyes, was named Deafir: short for Death Fire. The third born, a golden dragon with blue eyes, was named Sunfire. The fourth born, a white dragon with pale blue eyes, was named Whitlit: pronounced as white light. The fifth born, a dark purple dragon with black eyes, was named Amethyst. The sixth born, a silver dragon with blind eyes, was named Silium. The seventh born, a black dragon with red-orange eyes, was named Molock: short for Molten Rock. The eighth born, a gray dragon with lighter eyes, was named Ashira. The ninth born, a dark red dragon with light green eyes like their father, was named Titania. The tenth born, a bright golden dragon with yellow-orange eyes, was named Laverna. And the eleventh born, a very dark blue dragon with dark purple eyes, was named after Dragon Empress' mother: Athenyra. Years of peace was shattered as the three brothers started blaming each other and created the War. The twelve sisters created their own world to keep safe from their father and uncles, but Dragon Empress was somehow caught in the War. A blast of magic from all three Titans caused her to lose her memory and dragon-like qualities as she was sent to Earth. After the War, and the world created the current Spiral, the eleven remaining sisters used their world to become the current DragonSpyre while still waiting for their sister's return."
"Dragon Empress? Dragon Titan? Eleven sisters?" She asked herself as she finished reading the paragraph and instantly noticed that there wasn't any information about the other Titans' children. "The warriors they created must be they're children." She said as she closed the book before going back to the bookshelf she found it in and put it back.
"I wonder if it's real..." She asked herself as she stood outside the library and looked back at it. All of a sudden everything was blurry and she was swaying wildly on her feet. "What...going...on..." She fell into unconsciousness just before she hit the cobblestone ground.
"Look at her!" A high, but slightly deep, voice shouted as she slowly regained consciousness. "Is she okay?" Another high-deep voice asked curiously. "I wonder if Jumiper had anything to do with it." A third high-deep voice asked. "She fell unconscious and that's the first thing to ask?!" The second high-deep voice yelled at the third one. Rowan finally opened her eyes...to be surrounded by dragons. Two were golden, two were black, one was white, one was silver, one was gray, one was a very dark blue, one was a dark purple, one was bright red, and one was dark red. And by the voices they were all female.
"Empress?" The bright red one asked as she helped her up. "Are you okay? You took quite a hit during practice." Practice? What practice? "I don't think she remembers what happened." One of the golden dragons, this one had blue eyes, said as she helped Rowan sit down on a piece of rock that wasn't pointed. "We were doing target practice with our fire until you suddenly unleashed a burst of fire from your hands and it broke off a piece of sulfur to come back and hit you in the head."
"At least you discovered a new ability." The white dragon said as she got into her vision...way too close. "Leave her alone," The silver dragon, Rowan finally realized that she was blind, said as she stared at the smog-covered sky. "She has a bigger path in font of her instead of discovering her new ability." Can she see the future? "Well sorry Silium," The black dragon with gray eyes said sarcastically. "We're all worried about our sister, even though she's not a full dragon she could still be hurt!"
A full dragon?! Rowan looked down to see that she was wearing a Dracomancer's Outfit that was red and orange with tints of black in it and Dragonscale Boots that were the same color as the pants and shirt, and when she looked at her reflection behind her she was wearing a Dragoon's Cowl that was the same color. But instead of purple eyes looking back at her, there was dragon green eyes staring back in shock. Am I..? "Wake up!" A voice interrupted as everything froze around her. "Hey newbie! Wake the hell up!"
She suddenly sat up as she looked around wildly. She was still in the Commons but this time it was different, there was a huge crowd of wizards around her. "Are you okay child?" Falmea asked as she helped Rowan onto her feet and waved the other students away. "What happened?" She asked, but instantly regretted it as her voice came out hoarse. "Boris found you unconscious and tried to bring you to Ambrose but he was suddenly called by Harold Argleston(AN: Whose name I finally looked up!) and had to leave you in the crossroads."
"Then who woke me up?" She asked before she was handed a glass of water for her throat. "That would be me Fire Flower." An annoyed voice behind her said. She looked behind her to see a boy with gray eyes wearing a yellow-and-blue hood which covered his hair, a yellow-and-blue shirt with a matching cape and a strap of silver crossing over one side of his chest, what looked like yellow-and-blue clown pants, and yellow-and-blue boots with bigger cuffs over the foot part. He has darkish skin and was holding a silver staff with a huge blue crystal at the end.
He looked annoyed as she stared at him before finally remembering that she has a voice. "Thank you." He just sneered in response before walking towards a tunnel with the graving 'Shopping District' above it. "Just ignore Nolan," Falmea said as she stared in his direction. "He just doesn't like new wizards because he was partnered with one once and failed the quest he was given that day."
"Are you okay?!" A voice shouted as two pairs of footsteps ran towards her. She turned around to see Saffron and Sabrina running towards her until Saffron suddenly tripped. "Saff! Are you okay!?" She asked as she ran towards the sisters and helped Sabrina get Saffron off of the ground. Saffron whimpered as she held a hand to her cheek and tears started forming in her eyes.
"Let's go find Moolinda." Sabrina said before noticing something strange. Rowan was staring at Saffron but the strange thing was her eyes changed!
Flowers bloom in spring
Oh, the sky spreads in summer
They're engraved and sparkling
In my heart
Rain falls in the morning
Even on a day when I shut the window
The light overflowing to my chest
Is from above the clouds
Joy and sorrow
I hold everything close while I'm walking
They're things that firmly join
My hand
And your hand together
Autumn is at the waterside
Winter lurks at the treetop
There's a boundless kindness
Deep in the world
Every time when night comes
Let's offer a prayer
Let's quietly greet
The day to come tomorrow
Oh, a voice calling out from far, far away
Guides me
As if it smiles
As if it sings
The sound of wind echoes
Joy and sorrow
I hold everything close while I'm walking
They're things that firmly join
My hand
And your hand together
Just after she was done singing, Saffron poked her cheek and found out that it was healed. Her eyes changed back to normal and she took a deep breath before looking around curiously. It was like she was a different person when her eyes changed, but at least one good thing came out of it. "Okay then," She said as she looked around. "I'll go find someone needing help." She then took off in the direction of the Shopping District, unaware that the two wizards were still watching her.
"Is she okay?" Saffron asked as she looked at her sister. Sabrina just shrugged before they both looked back in the direction Rowan took off in. They just hoped that she was okay.
