As Kevin in his condo and Ben slept in his house, it was a beautiful night as the stars were out.
The grey winged creature flew through clouds with something on his mind and in his heart.
Some mountains came into view and landed on a medium cliff which had a cave overlooking Bellwood.
He walked inside the dark cave until he came upon what looked like a room or a temple altar.
The torches were lit, casting a warm glow lighting a statue of a female dragon warrior carved in stone.
The creature placed his clawed hand on the statue's face and sighed.
" I know it's been awhile since I was last here my love. So much is happening and I am so close to avenging what he did to you. I remember the first time we met."
Flashback Starting Now!
In a hidden valley were many dragon warriors male and female in different sizes.
Most of them were different species of dragon and elements of nature and science.
Some were healers, magic spell users and some just farmed livestock and produce.
They all listened to one leader who was the biggest dragon of them and the most powerful.
He was pale green with white parts donned with golden armor with black jewels set in.
Two thick bull like horns on his head with yellow eyes framing his intimidating features.
His name was Onaga and no one ever messed with him, his mate or his son.
His mate was a teal dragon with yellow parts wearing feminine pink armor with white jewels set in.
She had slender, curled horns on her head like a ram and pale blue eyes that glowed.
Her name was Cyan but she was friendly unlike Onaga who intimidated anyone he looked at.
Lastly was their pride and joy, their son who was a mixture of both his parents genetics.
Somehow he turned out gray with dark gray eyes with bronze armor with red jewels.
He had a thick mane of gray hair that ran down his neck in large jagged spikes
He had his father's build and looks, but he had his mother's friendly personality.
His first name was never revealed in human tongue, but his was known as Canus
Canus was the best warrior of all the young dragons in his group and he was Onaga's son.
He made alot of friends and was always flying around above the valley, but wanted to explore outside of it.
It was forbidden for any of them to leave unless it was necessary to hunt for food, medicine or undercover.
One day before he made his way to training, he heard a soft cry for help near the valley gates that were always closed.
There he saw some of the young dragons attacking a wounded female dragon since she was a color no one had ever seen, white.
He heard the word freak hissed and yelled at her as they threw rocks and tried to breathe fire.
The female blocked their flames and rocks with a red shield of energy surrounding her.
He landed in front her as he sensed her energy finally drop from exhausting her energy.
He roared and attacked the others in which they flew away back home in fear.
He knelt down to check her wounds and saw she didn't hiss or growl at him.
She looked at him with red eyes filled with tears of joy for someone helped her.
He gently picked her up and carried her back to his home hoping to heal her wounds.
His parents were shocked to see Canus bring home a white female dragon.
The female didn't speak, but Canus understood what she wanted by signals.
Once she was healed, she was given silver armor with blue jewels set in.
She had no horns, and she had a white mane of hair straight down.
Canus helped her train to fight like him and and harness her magic powers.
She always walked with him since he protected her from the other dragons.
" You've done very well to keep up with the training. You'll make a fine female warrior and maybe we can fight as a pair someday. Can you tell me your name if you have one?"
" I wanted to thank you for saving me that day. I thought no one heard me, but when you came, I knew you were my savior. My family was killed by hunters and they told me to come here to live in peace. My name is Mauna and I'm glad to have met you Canus."
End of Flashback
He cried silently as he remembered that day vividly, his claws tracing the writing on the base of the statue.
'Here lies Mauna, mate of Canus. She was a rare sight to behold and would have been a wonderful mother had her life been spared. She may be gone from this world, but she will never be forgotten.'
He removed one of the black jewels on his chest-plate which was a pendant with a picture of himself with Mauna who had white scales and hair and red eyes.
" Mauna, Farlo will pay for what he did and I wanted to tell you I found someone. I know we will meet again, but I need someone to keep me warm in this world and I will never forget you my love."
Soon he returned the jewel to it's place and put out the torches as he flew away back to his current home.
Well I hope you like this chapter.
Canus is Latin for the color gray.
