Me: Did you miss me?
Charlier: You want the truth or the not so truth?
Me: That actually hurt.
Charlier: You can deal.
Me: To the reviews. To Person: Maybe, maybe not. To Zilla: On xbox and yea his past is…shady at best. And that explains why you've not been online for some time I wish I could help but I can't sorry.
Charlier: Aren't you in a rush today.
Me: Yea things to do school life is taking over. Sadly any way on with the show.
Ok so there secrets about secrets?
"See I told you that you two could get along with out killing each other." Crystal said finishing his food.
"I guess she's not that bad when I get down to it…so here." Dark said putting the feathers on the table.
"Well in that case…" Rainbow said reluctantly taking off the necklace and putting it on the table. "Here."
"Thank you." Dark thanked taking it off the table just as she took the feathers. As the two smiled at each other Dark looked at Crystal. "So what now are we heading back to your place. Theses pony forms are…uncomfortable."
"Well you get use to it and I guess we should head home…" He said as his bracer started to blink blue making Crystal smile.
"What?" Dark had to ask.
"Oh nothing." He said as he pushed a few buttons making an image of a red dragoness appear. "Hey Charlier." He greeted.
"Hey Crystal are you heading home. I've still yet to meet your cousin yet." She asked
"Eh sure I'm heading there now. See you soon." He said as the picture faded. Making him sigh. "Well I guess its time you met my mate. Don't act like an ass. Please."
"Well…no promises." He said with his dark grin.
"I'm not saying it for my shake but for yours. She's the best hunter there is in Warfang and her nickname is phoenix for a reason. Trust me." Crystal warned making Dark just laugh a blow a smoke ring.
"I did not just survive 2 years on the run to be ended by some hunter. And that funny I met a bounty hunter with the name phoenix." He replied thinking about it.
"Hmmm any way see you later Dash we've got to split." Crystal said getting up.
"Ok see you guys." She said speeding off leaving a trail of dust.
"Well now that's done lets go met your mate." Dark said leading the way.
Later on
"Ok where here now don't act like an ass please." Crystal asked
"Again no promises." He replied, as Crystal was the first to enter.
"Charlier? I'm back where…." Crystal was cut off by being tackled by a red blur. When the two landed Crystal was on the floor with a red dragoness pinning him down.
"Hello you." She smiled licking his cheek.
"Eh am I interrupting?" Dark asked. "Because I need to…be some where so can I just this once brake are rule for me to follow you rule?" He asked
"I guess so you've been trust worthy so far so sure." Crystal answered getting to his hoofs. "Beside me and Charlier have…catching up to do." He said smiling making Charlier blush. (Witch was impossible to tell)
"Ok I don't want to intrude so I'll be back soon don't worry." He said in a hurry as he left.
That night.
Dark returned that night with what looked like something living holding on to him but was hidden by his cloke. "Hey Crystal…stop moving…where's your friend I need to…" He stopped as he tripped over the living room table. As he fell what was hold to him fell to. It was a baby dragoness.
Crystal's eyes met with Dark's in shock. "I can explain." Dark said rushing to see if the hatchling was ok.
"Just calm down and tell me who is she?" Crystal said calmly
"She's my hatchling sister and has barely just hatched and the only family I have other than you." But just then he drawed his sword. "And if you touch her I'll kill you."
"Woo calm down. Unlike my predecessor I don't kill innocents for fun. Now can you pleases tell me why did you hide her?" Crystal asked.
"Because you help the guardians and her blood is…unique. So I can't trust you." Dark said putting his sword back as he saw a shadow move in the dark.
"Ok there are many things wrong with that sentence but before I correct you…" Crystal said as he teleported behind the trespasser grabbing her and holding a claw to her neck. "Who are you?"
"Dark?" She said trying to breath.
"Let her go she my friend Nightshade." He said staring at her. "Who was just leaving."
"Yes of course boss but you left this behind." She said handing him a picture witch he snatched quickly.
"All right if you say so." Crystal said letting her go. "My apologies my lady but I swore I locked the door. By the way what's that you got their cus?" Crystal asked
"Nothing. And Night shouldn't you be leaving." He said.
"Oh yes sure boss." She said taking a bow and leaving.
"Oh cus where's that friend of yours I never got to meet her." Dark said with his evil smile.
"I swear on your life you hurt her I will gut you and strangle you with your own intestines. Got it." Crystal warned as his eye flashed purple.
"Well she did try to kill me in the past. So if she try's anything I can't be held responsible." He said smiling tapping his sword.
"Fine. Charlier? Where are you?" Crystal shouted.
"In your room why?" She responded.
"My cosine wants to meet you. Sadly." Crystal sighed.
"Hey I'm nice…sometimes." He said picking up his sister with his tail. "If only mum was here to see you." He whispered as a tear started to form around his eye. But he quickly got a grip. "Ehem any way I'm not that bad."
"I see." Charlier said as she jumped down the stares. "And who's this little gem." Charlier said trying to hold her excitement at the sight of the baby dragoness.
"Watch it Charlier." Dark growled but then a grin appeared on his face. "or do you wanted to end up like your brother left dead in a ditch." Charlier then was hit with a tidal wave of regret and anger towards the dragon standing before her. "Sorry did I hit a nerve."
"Charlier?" Crystal asked seeing the smoke rise from her scales.
"Oh you never told him did you?" Dark said
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Charlier screamed busting into flames but soon calmed down again seeing the panic in her mate's face. "When I told you during the war I found my fun and food by pretending to hunt the ape armies." Crystal nodded. "Well when I was younger I did not do it alone. My brother taught me everything he was the best he fought and killed everything in order to keep me fed."
"My dad died trying to save us and are mother died giving birth to me. So we looked out for each other till we could not fight any more. But after some big raids on some camps Malefor began to take notice and knew it was not 'ghosts' like his armies said attacked them. So he hired an assassin him." She said with hatred pointing at Dark. "So Crystal give me on reason, just fucking one why I should not kill that bastard. RIGHT FUCKING NOW!" She said releasing her rage
"Wait you didn't know?" Dark said surprised as Crystal shook his head making Dark bust out laughing. "You never told him that's just sad. But I don't care Malefor is dead I'm not so…" He said putting down his sister and opening his arms. "Go on kill me I've got nothing left and apparently I'm evil so do me a favour and the rest of your boring world to." He taunted. But Charlier had, had it and slapped him across the face and quickly grabbed him by the neck.
"I swore I would fight in his name but…he would not want this…not the become you. But trust me little dragon I wont hesitate to make a necklace out of your teeth and make you watch as I burn you sister alive. Maybe then you'll understand the pain I felt at such a young age." She said leaving the house
Dark picked him self up and spat up some blood and began to follow Charlier outside with Crystal close behind. "You not the only one who has suffered little dragoness. You did not have to kill your own family in order to survive. Sell your soul to gain something. You have no idea why I'm like this do you? NO! And no one can. If you need me I'll be in Everfree." Dark said taking flight as quick as possible into the night sky.
"You know he is pure evil?" Charlier said wiping the last tears of rage the flowed down her face.
"Maybe but can pure evil cry?" Crystal asked looking at the tears in the dirt and only revising silence from Charlier. "I thought so. Look after the little one I need to find him." Crystal said taking off giving chase.
In the Everfree forest
Dark had landed as close to the centre as he could and begin to walk around. But after an hour or so he slammed his sword into the ground and sat down on a near by rock. "Why am I all ways burdened with this?" He asked out loud trying not to cry.
"You know all burdens can be carried by more than one person?" Said a familiar voice. This just made Dark snarl at him.
"And how would you know? I'm not welcome anywhere or by anyone. I don't see why you think you can change me?" He said as Crystal stepped out of the shadows.
"Because I've seen good in you. You only do what's best for your sister right? And so what you've done evil in the past. The past is not what defines you its just a new starting point to a second chance." Crystal said sitting across from him.
"Yes but how can I change? I can't change what I did…to my family." Just then Dark started to bust our crying. "That's why I can't change I can't let go. Can't you see that?"
"Yes I can but don't you want what's best for your sister?" Crystal asked making him stop crying and nod.
"But I can't. There are a counsel of dragons who want me and my sister dead and if I want peace its them or us." He explained sobbing.
"Then let me any my friends help you. Let us train you to be better and a better person only you can start the first step." Crystal said standing up and holding a claw to pick him up. "Deal?"
But before Dark could take it he saw a dragon in the shadows ready an arrow and fired. "Look out!" He shouted pushing Crystal to the side taking the arrow in the heart. "Ahh fuck so this is how I die? I was hoping I would die in style." He gasped as he fell down by the rock.
"Damm it he got away." Crystal said getting to his feet and seeing Dark lay down near the rock he was sitting on. "Oh no you don't your not dieing because of some…arrow." Crystal trailed off see that the area that he was hit was becoming infected with poison. And quickly.
"So this is it and my last sight it my ugly cosine. Great." Dark mocked and if he could laugh.
"Yea well your 'Ugly cosine' is going to save your life so sit still this will hurt a lot." Crystal smiled as his paw glowed in a bright and pure light practically making the arrow fall out of his chest and the wound disappear.
As Dark gasped as air refilled his lungs Crystal stumbled back as some blood left his chest but soon stopped. "Ok all those times I said you where weaker than me I take 'some' of that back." He smiled. "Are you ok?"
"Yea…Damm I hate transfusion magic. God damm it Syla when are you going to teach me proper healing." Crystal cursed shaking him self off.
"Yea well thanks and about your training I don't think you friends like me seeing as I've harmed them some way in the past." Dark said.
"We all have messed up pasts but they will help but if you have done something to harm them in any way. Don't bring it up or act like an ass." Crystal said
"Well we have all the time we need being stuck for a couple of mouths why not. Lets head back and before your friend upsets my sister. And I'm guessing you two are more than just friends. Hint, hint" Dark laughed
"Yea. Yea you've only caught on we've been a couple for a year now and don't worry she's good with kids…surprisingly." Crystal admitted.
"Yea well she's my sister and I'll like to keep her safe and please don't mention anything I've said here ok?" Dark pleaded.
"What are you talking about I have no idea what you mean." Crystal said smiling.
"Thanks cus."
