Fall from grace

I found myself in shackles in Ember. Much of the city is in disarray. I heard from the guards we were moving to a new location. Gana and Angel came to my cell. I looked at my daughter. She has grown since I last saw her. I missed out on her growth. I sat up and try to approach them, but the magic shackles kept me from getting to the bars. I was about 3 feet away, but with my long and slender draco form only made it a mere foot away. Angel: "Daddy, why? Why did you leave us on that day?" I looked at her, but said nothing. How could I? How could I tell her why I deserted everyone? How could I say it...when everyone witness what horrible act I did?

It happened 2 years ago. 3 years prior Buraki launched over 200 missiles on the dragon cities. Each warhead contained the Draconic virus. The cities closest to the Scorchedlands, all the inhabitants, dragon and not, were wiped out. The more farther cities and villages had a chance to evacuate or protect themselves. To date about 30% of the dragon population was gone. Most wasn't due to the virus, but by the Dragon Slayers. They were an elite group of assassins dedicated to the annililation of the dragon race. Most were people who lost their loved ones to Malefor years prior and to the Dragon War with Buraki. We heard Buraki got in touch with the leader. His name was Laiken, and he has slain practically half of the 30% who survived the missile strike. Every dragon hated him. Laiken was once a member to the resistance group my parents were in until he and my dad got in an argument. Suddenly a mysterious dragon came and was going to kill my dad, but instead struck down Laiken's wife. In his rage Laiken went after the dragon and took him down, but he blamed my dad for this. Because the dragon...was a Dark Draco. Laiken vowed to rid the world of dragons.

Time went on in Ember. Our group was stronger than we were 3 years ago. Buraki tried to attack us several times but we repel his attacks. Unfortunately, for every victory we get the closer to my defeat we got to. My anger grew more and more. A few occassions I went into my Dark Draco form and I was able to revert back. But each time it took longer for me to return back to normal. And the black scales that were my red scales stayed longer and longer. It was a week since my last transformation and half my body was covered in black scales. Many were worried. Ratchet: "Guys, we got trouble. A resistance group was attacked." Gana: "By who? Buraki's forces?" Ratchet: "No. The slayers." Nera: "Who they attacked?" Ratchet: "Well, they attacked a group led by....um...it was..." Pyron: "Who? Who was it?" Ratchet: "Your parents' group Pyron." Pyron: "What?! How-" Ratchet: "Calm down Pyron. A medical convoy is on its way here now. We'll get who's hurt."

Minutes felt like hours, but the convoy camed. Of the hurt I saw Luna, my sister. There was also an armed guard service. They brought a slayer. Guard: "This slayer was the only one of his group that survived. We'll question where the slayer hideout is and bring Laiken to justice." I went towards Luna. Doctor: "We stabalized her vitals, but unfortunately-" Pyron: "Unfortunately? Unfortunately what?" Doctor: "She won't make it?" Pyron: "What?! She's dying?! (I went to her) Luna! Luna!" She open her eyes. Luna: "Hi big...brother." Pyron: "Luna, hang on. I'm gonna heal you. (I tried but I couldn't heal her) No....I can't use my healing power!" Luna: "Py...ron..." Pyron: "Sis, stay with me. Your gonna be okay." Luna: "We both know that won't happen. Mom...and dad...did their best to protect me. At least Bur...aki's nano virus didn't get us...thanks to Kaiser and the others. Brother...don't give up. Beat Bura...ki..." Pyron: "Luna, don't say that. Luna? (She closed her eyes slowly) Sis, stay with me. (She was gone) No...Lunaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

Slayer: "Ha! One less dragon. Laiken will be proud of me for skewing that one." Pyron: "You...you....killed...my sister..." Slayer: "That's right dragon." Pyron: You...killed...my...SISTER! GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" My anger got to me and I heard my dark side speaking. Dark Pyron: "Yes. Yessss. We're one now. Hahahahahahaha! We've finally merged Hahahahahaaaa!" I transformed into my Darrk Draco form. Slayer: "What?! He's a Dark Draco?!" Pyron: "Gwaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" The slayer got loose and tried to escape, but I gave chase to him. He ran into every house he can and I just ran right through them like a ram. I finally cornered him. Slayer: "Wait! Don't! Listen, spare me and I'll tell you where to find Laiken is. (I got closer) Please, don't kill me. Laiken and the other slayers are in the remains of a city close to the ocean. You can find him there." Pyron: "YOU...KILLED...MY...SISTER! GWAAAA!" Slayer: "Nooooooo!"

Gana: "Pyron! Where are you?" Lagon: "He can't be hard to miss. He's bigger than me." I came from the alleyway. My claws and mouth dripped in blood. Gana: "Pyron...you didn't..." Pyron: "Grrrrr!" Lagon: "Pyron, stop. Your not-" Pyron: "GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" I attacked Lagon but he was able to get away. I destroyed a few more houses and the citizens ran for safety. I had completely lost control. Angel: "Daddy!" I didn't see Angel as I swished my tail in her direction. Gana: "Angel, look out!" Spirit doved in and took the brunt of the hit. He was hurt badly. Jane tries to stop me but I sent her back into a wall. Gana ran to cover Angel. I looked down and snarled at Gana. Then saw Angel. She was terrified as well as Gana. I looked into Angel's eyes, and I saw fear. She was scared of me. Something snapped in my head, and I regain myself. Just like that all the rage that was in me was gone. I looked around and I saw parts of Ember nothing but rubble. I looked at my claws. Blood was on it as was the taste in my mouth. It was the slayer's blood. I was in total shock. Pyron: "What have I done? (The citizens were afraid of me. Nera was tending to Spirit. Lagon was hurt in one leg) What have I done? (I tried to turn back to normal, but I couldn't. I was stuck in my Dark Draco form) I got to get outta here." I flew out of Ember. Gana: "Pyron, wait!"

I flew for about 20 minutes and found an abandon cave. I tried my best to revert back to my old self. No good. I couldn't believe what I did. I killed a slayer in cold blood, just because of what he did to my sister. I wrecked Ember and hurted my friends. Even worse, I terrified my own daughter. I was ashame and very depressed. Voice: "So, your aa Dark Draco." Pyron: "Huh? Who's there?" A black wyvern appeared. Tyranis: "I am Tyranis, a fellow Dark Draco. I sense your power from afar. You done quite a terrible deed, and now everyone's scared of you. I can help. I can take you where you won't be hated. Come, come with me." I didn't know why, but I went with him. and I joined the Dark Dracos. I looked at my daughter. She wasn't afraid anymore. She was concern, but even now I couldn't tell her why I left. Gana: "Pyron, Ember has fallen into dispear since you left. We're moving to a new location in a few days. Many wish to bury you here when we seal Ember off, but I felt you need to come." They both left. I wish they did bury me with the city. Everyone had hunted me from the Dracos to the resistance. As I sat in my cell I had truely fell from grace...
