Pyron's Heart

There was a large amount of confusion in the misty fog. For one thing a blue light seem to have broken the chain that bounded me to Lagon. Next thing I know, Gana grabs my paw and pulls me away, far from the others. I don't know why she did it, but I felt fear and desperation in her. Why? Why did she run the risk of freeing me?

We got far enough for no one, not even the few Vixers that remained, to even track us. Gana: "Good, we're far from the others. *She turned, faced me and took my magic muzzle off my mouth* Pyron...I'm glad your okay. *I didn't say anything* At least look at me. *So I did* Pyron, what's with you? You rarely eat, you don't talk to me, and you still...please, say something." Pyron: "Why should I? I deserve to die." Gana: "What? No Pyron, you do not." Pyron: "Yes I do. I killed that slayer, abandoned everyone for 2 years, and...gah, I can't even look at Angel. Look at me, I'm a Dark Draco. I have to be slayed."

I walked a few steps and sat down. Gana: "Pyron, your hurt inside. I can feel it. The slayer...he isn't dead. Thanks to Angel." Pyron: "What do you mean?" Gana: "I'm not sure, but it seemed she had healed the slayer from his wounds. I think she somehow has your healing powers. Though we did arrest the slayer, he did offer us a proposition. He wants to be free, and in exchange he'll be our informant to Laiken and the other slayers. So far he has held up his part of the bargain." Pyron: "Gah..." Voice: "Listen to her Pyron. Gana has more to say." It was that sweet voice again. Where was it coming from? Gana: "Another thing Pyron, you aren't a full Dark Draco...and you'll never will be." Pyron: "Huh? What do you mean?" Gana: "Your heart isn't twisted. It does have some darkness in it, but it's being balanced by light." Pyron: "I'm confused. What do you mean?" Flame: "Gana's saying your a hybrid Pyron." Flame appeared from the mist. Pyron: "Flame?!" Flame: "Yes. And your the only one who will put an end to the Dark Dracos once and for all." I was still stunned by all this. What did these 2 mean?

Back at the Draco Cave...Tyranis: "Blast that Pyron. When I get my claws on him, I'll-" ???: "You'll do nothing of the sort." Tyranis: "What? Who are you stranger?" A mysterious guy in a hood came to the Dracos. ???: "Who I am is none of your concern. What I want to know is why you let Pyron escaped." Tyranis: "Hmph." Suddenly Tyranis was grabbed by a long tendrill. ???: "Answer the question!" Tyranis: "Long tentacles...wait, your...Alazar!" Alazar: "That's right. And now you Dracos will work for me." Tyranis: "Why should we? *Alazar tightened his grip and knocked back several Dracos* Ok ok. *Alazar letted go* What...do you want us to do?" Alazar: "I want you to capture Pyron. You don't know it, but he'll bring doom to the Dracos." Tyranis: "What?! I don't believe you, and why do you want him?" Alazar: "Because I want...his beating heart. Muhahahahahaaaaa!"

Youth Days

I was still in my cage in the magic chains. An unecessary precaution for Lagon, but I didn't argue. As we moved on we left Camp Eclispe and made our way for the city of Wells. For some reason Gana seem nervous. I felt it in her heart. I didn't know why. Suddenly my cage got stuck in some mud. Lagon got me out of my cage and I had to wallk on foot. I looked up and saw Gana flying. She looked down at me. The freedom of the sky. How so do I miss it. But I don't deserve to be free. I wish my dark draco power never awoken in me. Especially when I was a kid...

When I was just a welpling I loved to play with Luna in the Mushroom Fields. Pyron: "Look sis. I puff up smoke. I'm getting my fire in my belly." Luna : "That's great brother. I wonder if I can breath fire too. (She tries to breathe out fire) Hmm...guess not." Pyron: "No worries Luna. Even if your not a fire dragon, I will still watch over you." Luna hugs me. Luna: "Thanks brother." Star: "Kids, time for supper." Luna: "Yey." Pyron: "Let's go." I remember promising Luna I'd watch over her. I failed at that. Voice: "Pyron..." I looked around and though all were talking, the voice was as sweet as Gana's, but she wasn't near me.

I remember the day my dark draco power first rose. Luna and I were in the Mushroom Fields when 3 other dragons came. They were bullies. They bullied a few other dragons and came to me and my sister and bullied us. They took the snack my mom made for her and stomp on it. Luna cried and it made me mad. I pushed one of hem and I got into a fight with them. They knockedmedown and Luna pleaded to them to stop. They shoved her out of the way, and that made me mad. Then...it happened. My dark draco power woke. I blasted the bullies and my body turned semi dark. Luna got scared and called out to me. I immediately stopped, and had no idea what happened. Mom and dad came and saw what happen and took me and Luna away.

I didn't know what happen after that. My memory of the event faded. We approached the mist. I remember hearing Gana saying something about the path we took to Wells was in an area Buraki was planning to ambush us. It was so misty you could barely see past 2 feet. Suddenly there was a flash. The chain that Lagon held on to me broke. Then Gana grabbed my paw and pulled me away. Where is she taken me and why. What in the world was going on?

Camp Twilight Assault

As I stand there listening with my 'escort' of guards by me, Gana explained further. Gana: "While you were gone Pyron, the Dragon Knights formed. It's a name most people call us since we held our own against Buraki while in Ember, but the cave deteriorated so we had to abandon it and seal it off in case Buraki or the slayers get any ideas. Anyway, last month we got word from our intelligence that Buraki was killing humans. We didn't know why...until last week. He went for a village way south of the Scorchlands and slaughtered a human settlement...or so we thought. In a village of 500, only 8 were killed. We learned from some withesses the 8 were skilled in magic, but not enough to be wizards or sages." Rica came running. Rica: "Gana, we got trouble. Ratchet got a call that another camp call Camp Twilight was attacked by the Slayers. They even swiped a crystal that powered their barricade." Gana: "Then we must move."

I had assumed I would be put back in my cell, but instead...Gana: "Pyron, I'm gonna need your help." I was stunned, but the villagers were stunned more. They argue and protested. Lagon: "Gana's word is final, and I'll look after him. Let's get you suited up." Suited up? What did he mean? Minutes later we went to an armor blacksmith. Craft: "Ok Lagon, here's your armor, and for Pyron, I crafted this special armor for you. (So Lagon, Gana, and a few other dragons put on their armor. I went on to put on the helmet, tail brace, and leg braces.) Make sure your back before the sunsets. Hehehe..." We soon went out and the shield drop. We flew up, though while leaving I could still hear some arguing.

As we got closer to Camp Twilight we saw smoke. Lagon: "Oh geez. It's already a wreck." Gana: "We better hurry and rescue survivors." We landed and immediately found trouble with some hunters. We quickly took them out. We went to look for survivors. Most of the people were ok, but 2 dragons and one human were hurt. Gana: "Who's in charge here?" Matt: "I'm Matt. I'm in charge here. You must be Gana, leader if the Knights. If your wondering what happen here we were invaded by the Slayers. They took our crystal that powered the shield, and soon enough Buraki's forces came." Gana: "This camp is lost. We better gather up what we can and go." We took them with us back to Camp Eclispe, but we had to walk since many campers didn't have wings.

It was sunset when we got back to the camp. The shield drop to let us in. My last experience convince them...plus what Gana told them. As everyone settle and more protests continued, I started to take off my armor. Suddenly I felt a jolt, and the next thing I knew I got zapped by electricity. I collasped to the ground and lost consciousness. I heard voices...mostly Gana's, something about get that armor off of him. She did it herself since she was resistant to the electricity. She got it off of me and ordered Craft to come. I lost consciousness again. I woke up and saw it was night. My head was ringing, but I heard Gana. Gana: "Listen up, the next one who throws food or harasses Pyron in any manner, I'll make sure to throw you behind bars too. Got it? (She approached my cell) Craft rigged that armor to gve you a heavy dose of electricity the moment you came back to the camp. Luckily I was able to draw what electricity your body absorbed and saved you. I intend to talk to Craft before we leave for Bellvale in the morning." She leaves. I put my head down and wondered why. Why did she helped me?

Gana: "Ok Craft. Start talking. Why did you try to kill Pyron?" Craft: "Your so blind it's laughable Gana. Pyron's a Dark Draco, and he must die." Gana: "Why? Why go through the risk of shocking only him and not the rest of us dragons?" Craft: "Because he's the only one in your group who's a Dark Draco. You see, I'm from Wells, and the people of Wells hate the Dark Dracos. They're mostly humans like me, but can sense which dragon has the blood of our most hated enemy, the Dark Draco. Pyron will die when you take him there, and no amount of protection you offer them or him will matter. He'll draw a Wellean like a moth to a flame. Even now I want to kill him." Gana: "Well, your gonna stay in here until the Knights leave." She walks away. Craft: "No matter what, as long as he has his form and the blood of a Draco in him he's as good as dead to a Wellean." Gana wondered what wa she gonna do. How will she protect me? None of this stuff I even know about, and the next place we visit would be death to me.

Camp Eclispe

It's funny when I thought about it...not the funny haha thing. 5 years ago Buraki was just flesh and blood like the rest of us. I was nothing more than just an adolescent dragon who searched for his family, only to join up with soon to be friends. Then we go on adventures and find ourselves in a war. I was nearly killed by Kyle, lost Gana and got her back, have a beautiful daughter with her, teamed up with former Buraki henchmen Bulco and Heinaus, and fought Buraki. Gana and I killed him but he came back to life as an android, more powerful than ever. Then...things went downhill for me. I thought about all of that while in my cell, never noticing one thing: No Buraki machines. We were out in the open, in plain sight of an attack, but nothing. I lifted my head and looked around, but lowered it and said nothing.

Spirit: "Is that it Gana?" I lifted my head again as I saw a shield barricade. Gana: "Yes. My mom told me it would be here. Camp Eclispe. Everyone, we're going in." And so we passed by the shield, but when I did I felt so much pain. I roared but we kept going through. The guards were in no rush, but we manage too make it through. I couldn't move after that as my vision got blurry, then I passed out.

I barely woked up and heard Gana's voice. She was scorning the guards for not moving fast enough. I barely open my eye and still in pain, but I got up. Gana: "So your awake. The shield protects this camp from Buraki's attacks and dark magic. I guess in your Dark Draco form you count as a dark magic user." I said nothing, but just lied down in my cell. Gana walked away to go talk to some humans. Hours passed and some kids threw tomatoes at me, calling me a traitor to the Knights. I just looked at them and just turned around.

Night fell. Angel approached the cell. Angel: "Dad? (I turned my head to see her) A lot of the resistence blame you for ditching us 2 years ago. but...mom, Spirit, Nera, Lagon, Rica, Anakin, and Jane never gave up on you. I didn't either. In a way, you leaving only helped us strengthen up. (I said nothing) Here, I brought you some lamb, your favorite. (She put its in an opening in my cell, but I didn't touch it) Dad, you haven't ate in days. I know what you did was awful, killing that slayer for slaying aunt Luna. She didn't die in vain dad. Grandma and grandpa sacrifice themselves to save her and she manage to come see you before she died. Mom said this to me: when a dragon dies, they don't truely leave the world. (I looked at her) I don't get it, but she said you know what it meant. Night dad." She leaves. Moments later I took the plate with the lamb on it and ate it. Gana rememered how I liked it...medium rare.

Morning came and many were busy preparing for something. I sat up and saw what was going on. Lagon: "Well, your up. Gana requested that you should be let out of your cell. You'll still be shackled so you won't use your powers." Lagon told me as if I have every intention on escaping. They let me out of my cell. It felt good to stretch my wings, but Lagon and the 2 guards held my leash. don't see why thy bothered, but I guess all still think I'm with the Dark Dracos. They took me to a tent where Gana was in. She was wearing some special dragon armor. Gana: "Well Pyron, we're gonna need your help. Buraki is now targeting humans." Targeting humans? Why on earth would Buraki attack a creature who he considers inferior to him? Something tells me I'm about to find out.
