Prologue 2

"There just monsters, how can such things exist." The young lad struggles with how he saw the dragons treated like a product in their own home, on his father's land that was made to protect them from this very thing. "How dare you trespass as the royal guards and do such things to our family," he says with such anger grasping ever tighter to his sword.

Confused one guard responds "we haven't touched a signal person here, but now it seems we might hav.." cut of the young lad yells "the dragons are just as much family!" A sudden surge of pressure surrounds him, just like a never ending breeze that lost its way. As he eyes one the guards about to strike with a overwhelming blow, but the dragon lets out a small blue fireball at the guards, and in a flash grabs the young lad and soars over them then down rest of the path. The guards knocked out after the impact that meets with a heavy fire along with the shatter after long contact that sent them into the woods, just off the path. She places him down just outside of sight from anyone the town. Still full of anger and not yet sheathed his blade says, "aren't they your family to, why would you stop me." The dragon recalls when she sighted him attack the guard and free the younglings, could that be his first time taking a life, first time letting animal instinct take over. The dragon nudges him gently on side and points with head as if asking to come listen to her. Now his eyes gently come back to contrast as he follows her to a nearby tree. On it you see a nest of what looks like a rarely seen type of mantis. Nearby ants have found it and started to take it as if harvesting for later. The young lad reaches in to grab them and quickly she stops him with he tail, making eye contact she nodes him to watch. They watch for a few moments and once about 1/3 has been harvested down line all what looked like eggs is now arachnids with powerful poison secretions that paralyze anything that continues to touch it. What he thought was in danger was actually even more dangerous. With that he stood up and sheathed his sword, looked at the dragon and touched his head to hers saying thank you. This is the most common language understood among all creatures for respect. He looks at the dragon and asks if she knows who Pops is. She nods back cheerfully, and with that he takes out a small pendant, removes a piece into a satchel and gives it to the dragon around her ankle. "Please bring this to him, ill be fine here now." Before leaving she gently places her paw around his left arm closes her eyes and concentrates on protection over him and all who he aids. Upon releasing her grip a small colourful aura illuminates over his natural one before being unseen again. She nods at him as she takes off, gone in a moment. He turns back to village and runs straight towards the Inn, mother always helped out Aunty at this time of day so we could play and train. A small boy trips and falls into the young lad while at his full spirit, they tumbles but the young lad tapped the boy sideways with his left hand to avoid the worst, and even when downed he rolled up quickly and kept going. The boy was new to area but still knew enough people here, especially him and his family to know something was wrong, he smelled the blood when they crashed. Now concerned he rushes behind him to give help however he can. They both stop outback of his Aunts Inn to avoid any possible delays. The boy slips in with him as if they had unspokenly agreed. When rushing to the kitchen he sees a guard in there speaking with Aunty, the boy sees his face of fear and anger and says, "let me handle this." On that he stealthily walks past everyone near door to customers and starts crying saying " mister guard can you help me, I can't find my mommy." So convincing and clever the young lad thought, as the guard walked over excusing himself from his conversation with his aunt. The boy leads the guard out of the kitchen and immediately he runs to his aunt and trys tells her what's going on and how the guards are involved. All she said was "go to your mother, she's in the upstairs office, tell her what you told me. Don't be concerned about the guards, or any other group that strikes you or others fear. For we always have allies in some form that will be there when time calls." She smiles and walks into the main hall with the guards and the boy. He walks steadily but quickly to the office where his mother is, as he goes to speak but she walks up and says, "I already know dear, your such a brave young lad." as she puts her head to his after kissing it and warping her arms around him. Now able to relax for a moment in his mothers arms, the tears overflow and he feels safe, now able to feel like a kid again, giving him a break from the warrior instinct that was taking him over. She looks out the window where it's a direct sight of the mountain, the guards bird that was sent with message to have the town burned was perched on the sill, and the message lay on the desk in office. Sometimes the smallest changes in direction, can lead to complete shift in the turn of events.
