A Dragon's Crimson Cry
By: Tippi
Ch 27 Dark Meeting
In a matter of 2.5 seconds Jake was drop into an unfamiliar setting flat on his face. It looked like some very large cave that was illumined but pools of magma. Jake began to get up on his hands and knees when he noticed someone standing in front of him.
"It's easier to except the inedible then to run from it" the cloaked figure said looking down at Jake it's face covered in shadow of it's hood.
Not sure how to respond Jake just rose to his feet. They just stared at one another for a minute before a shadow fell over him from behind. The feeling of dread rose in his body as he turned to face the one casting the giant shadow.
When Jake turned he was looking at a black scaled body. Jake craned his head back to look up into it's face.
The last time Jake felt fear like this he was staring death in the face but he was beginning to wish he was looking death in the face instead of this monster.
This was a dragon a plain and simple description. But a more detailed one would be it was a 2 story tall lizard with purple scales on it's under side and the rest of it's body was covered in raven black scales. It's wings were in the same shade of black as it's scales. He had pointed, almost like dog's ears. A purple ridge ran up from it's head down it's back all the way to the tip of it's tail. It's large claws were the same color as it's ridge. It had razor sharp teeth and a few stuck out of it's mouth even when closed. But what made Jake's blood run cold were the solid, glowing yellow eyes looking down at him.
The black dragon's mouth turned into a frown as he looked down at the small boy.
"A bit disappointing but you are after all still a child" the beast said after looking over Jake's body.
For some day to be a great powerful dragon the boy didn't look it. He had a thin frame and short even for an 8 year old. The boy didn't show any signs of being the deep well of power he was rumored to be.
Then the dragon noticed Jake's expression and stance. The dragon gave one of his rare small smiles.
Despite the fear a normal child should feel in his presents Jake didn't show any. His body didn't shake, he made no moment to run, he stood still and strong like a rock. The boy didn't utter a scream or a cry not even a gasp at seeing him. Jake's face didn't hold an expression of fear or shock merely a look of mild amusement. He was wondering was the boy testing him, is this how he looked when freighted, or perhaps he had no idea how to look. But either way he was a bit impressed at how the boy held him self.
"Do you know why you are here child" the dragon asked to boy in a commanding voice.
The boy didn't make any motion or response.
Not caring the dragon continued "I am called the Dark Dragon soon to rule over both the human and magical world. And I want you to join me, think of all that will be at your fingertips."
The Dark Dragon looked down into Jake's eyes to see red slowly begin to cast a curtain over them.
The cave vanished in Jake's eyes and changed to New York City but not the city he know. The buildings were in ruins, fires burn everywhere and the sky was clouded over with a hue of red. And perched on a building over looking it all was the Dark Dragon him self.
Jake could feel the fear, panic, and suffering of the people living through this.
Jake fell to his knees grasping his head willing the scene and feelings to go away. Tears streamed down his face from his crimson hazed eyes. Then a voiced echoed in his mind.
"This is your dream," the voice said before continuing "you can make anything you want."
Then the realization came to Jake. 'This is a dream none of this is real. This is my dream I control what's in it.'
Jake took in a calming breath and closed his eyes. He searched through mind looking for something to contour the scene before him.
Behind Jake a bright, cloudless, blue sky started to spread out from the horizon. The blue pushed back the red sky. The buildings under the blue went back to their original forms standing tall and firm. The blue came to the center of the sky where it came to an end unable to push the red back any further they swirled in an eerie purple in the center. The buildings under the purple stood part solid and part ruins.
A few feet behind Jake, on the solid side of the building Jake kneeled on, came a swirling blue mist. The mist slowly began to take the form of his grandfather.
Jake didn't need to think of his next move as he ran to his grandfather's side. Once with his grandfather the dark dragon and his destruction went away and Jake slipped into peaceful dreams.
~Later that day on Draco Island~
The council members had finished and returned to their home countries. They didn't notice one of them had instead returned to the island.
In a cave deep in the volcano of the island a cloaked figure arrived.
On a rock island in the center of a magna pool stood the dark dragon.
"I'm sorry things didn't go as planed master" the cloaked figure said.
"Has rather good control over his mind for a child" the dark dragon said with displeased look.
"The true problem is his strong bond he has with his grandfather" the figure explained.
"It's a good thing bonds can grow weak or brake with time" the dark dragon finished with an evil chuckle.
