The Power of the Magical Animals

David, Shadow, Ken, Sara, Ashley, and Foxy had left the forest town where they have learned more about the legendary sorcerers of the past. They stopped in front of a huge cave that lead downward underground. Foxy said, "One of the legendary sorcerer's magical animals that we are looking for is in there."

Ken said, "It's dark in there. We are going to need some light."

"I got this" David said. He whipped out his red wand out of thin air and flicked it. A flame ignited on the tip of his wand and sent out a glow of light.

Sara said, "I think I can help too." She conjured up her white wand with a flick of her wrist a white glow came from the tip of her wand.

"Cool" David said. "Lets go in and find the magical animal." David and the others walked into the cave and headed downward. After only about a hundred yards the cave had opened up to a wider area with an open ceiling and a water fall pouring in. David and Sara released the lights from their wands. From where the waterfall landed was a pool of water and right next to it was a sleeping dragon. The dragon was twenty feet tall and was all red except for its stomach which was orange in color and the dragon had bright golden fangs from its mouth. "That dragon is so awesome looking. I hope he's mine." David turned to Foxy and asked, "What can you tell us?"

Foxy said, "I have it in my mind that the dragon is named Dragontame and what we need is a golden fang. Dragontame's golden fang has the power to magically evolve one of you into the very dragon himself."

Sara asked, "How can we get a golden tooth from a dragon's mouth?"

Foxy said, "I have to admit I am a bit at a lost here. I'm not sure what the old legendary sorcerers had in mind."

"Why not just talk to the dragon" David asked.

"I never heard of a dragon that can talk" Foxy answered. "Dragons are wild creatures. They don't understand language."

David said, "Even so, I don't feel right about ripping a tooth out of someone's mouth."

Shadow said, "The rule of life is do want ever it takes to survive. If you have to get some blood on your hands than do it."

"No, I won't" David said with authority.

Ashley pointed at the entrance of the cave and shouted, "Ratso!" They all turned and saw Ratso who was basically a man size black rat. "So creepy."

David, Shadow, Ken, Sara, and Ashley raised their wands and exclaimed, "Sorcerer evolution!" In a flash of multicolor light they were all wearing their sorcerer's robes. Dragontame woke up and roared. He flew near to the top of the cave and its opening from above and began circling everyone from below.

Ratso yelled, "Your power will be mine!" He put his hands together palms facing outward. "Hyper fang strike!" A beam of dark energy with the head of a rat with big fangs shot straight at Dragontame.

Dragontame exclaimed, "Golden flames!" Erupting from his mouth was a blast of beautiful brightly golden color fire that met Ratso's attack in midair. When the attacks collided it caused an explosion that made David and the others shield their eyes. Dragontame flew at Ratso with his mouth open and golden fangs bearing. When Dragontame got close, Ratso jumped and landed on Dragontame's back.

"Your power will be mine" Ratso shouted as Dragontame began to ascend.

Dragontame said, "My power is not for you to have dark one. You will fail!"

David turned to Foxy and said, "I thought you said dragons can't talk."

"The power of the legendary sorcerers is an amazing thing." Dragontame was performing loops in the air trying to throw off Ratso. Dark power formed in Ratso's mouth and he bit Dragontame on the neck. Dragontame roared in pain and came crashing down towards the ground but hovered before impact. David ran towards Dragontame and jumped on his back and Dragontame took off into the air again.

David shouted, "Get off him Ratso!"

"You don't know when to give up do you" Ratso replied.

"Yeah I do. It's never!" Ratso kicked David on the head and David slid backwards off of Dragontame's back but grabbed his tail before he fell off.

Ratso turned to Dragontame and yelled, "I will rip out all your gold fangs dragon!"

"No you won't" David shouted. He raised his wand at Ratso while holding onto Dragontame's tail with one hand and exclaimed, "Magical flamethrower!" The stream of fire that burst out of David's wand hit Ratso and tossed him off of Dragontame's back. Ratso was now hanging onto Dragontame's neck while David was still hanging on Dragontame's tail. "Give up Ratso! You can never beat me and my friends."

"I can beat anyone of you" Ratso shouted back at David.

"Yeah but not when we work together." Dragontame swirled real fast in midair and threw off David and Ratso. Dragontame flew under David and caught him on his back while Ratso crashed on the ground. Dragontame landed and David jumped off. "Thanks Dragontame."

"Your welcome fire one" Dragontame replied. Ratso got up and David and the others pointed their wands at Ratso. Dragontame roared.

Ratso said, "Next time then." In a swirl of darkness he disappeaered.

David nodded and said, "Good." He turned to Dragontame and said, "I am a legendary sorcerer. I believe that you are my magical animal. As you saw me and my friends are up against real powerful enemies and we can use all the help we can get. Can you help us?"

Dragontame said, "For the fire one of the legendary sorcerers I offer you a chance to recieve my power. You must take my golden fang."

"What do you mean by that" David asked. "I don't want to hurt you."

"My golden fang is an old one that has fallen from my mouth" Dragontame explained. "If you feel you are ready to take the test then you and you alone may come with me to the deeper cave."

David took a deep and confident breath through his nose puffing out his chest and said, "I'm ready. I can handle it." He turned to Shadow and the others and said, "Wait for me here guys. I'll be right back."

"Good luck" Ken said. Dragontame walked to the opening on the other side of the cave and downward deeper underground with David following. Dragontame lit up the descending path with fire glowing from his mouth. As light came from down ahead from another opening he let the fire go out from his mouth.

Dragontame said, "Ahead lies a challenger to see if you are strong enough to handle my power."

"I'll prove myself" David said as they walked into a wide open area that end in a cliff. The whole room was a lava pit but their was a large stone platform that was on top of a huge stone column rising out of the lava.

Dragontame looked down at David and said, "When you are ready jump onto the platform and your opponent will appear. To win you must defeat your opponent or throw him into the lava." David took a deep breath and leaped over the space with the lava below and landed onto the platform. From up ahead, on the other side, a pillar of lava burst upward and from it a ten foot tall pile of boulders in a rough humanoid form came out of the lava and landed onto the platform. David could see that the boulder golem was made of hard rocks with glowing lava burning through the cracks of the moving statue.

David held up his wand and said, "I'm ready." The golem rushed towards David. "Magical flamethrower!" The stream of fire hit the golem and and the golem fell backwards hitting the ground. The golem got up and curled itself into a ball and rolled to David even faster. He jumped out of the way as it rolled pass him almost landing a direct hit. He ran away from the golem to the other side of the platform and turned to see that the golem was coming at him again at full speed. "Magical flamethrower!" The fire from David's red wand hit the golem and pushed it back but when his fire ran out the golem continued rolling towards David and he had to jump out of the way just in time.

"This guy isn't going to go down easy and I'm almost out of power" David said to himself as he ran to try and put distance between him and it. "I got to use my brain and figure this out." He stopped when he was almost at the edge of the platform and stood and faced the rolling golem speeding to himself. He dodge rolled to the side to the side to avoid being hit. The golem was about to fall off the platform but stopped just in time and stood up. While David was still on the ground he held his wand with both hands, pointed it at the golem and exclaimed, " Magical flamethrower!" A stream of fire burst out of his wand and blasted the golem off the platform. "I did it" David shouted as he was catching his breath with his hands on his knees.

Dragontame flew over the platform and hovered next to the wall of the cave that had a cavity in it. He reached in the cavity and and pulled out a golden fang and flew over and landed in front of David.

Dragontame held out the golden fang and said, "You have passed the test and proved yourself worthy. Now I give you my powers along with this knowledge."

"The magical animals you are looking for are actually living spirits and we have fought along side our partners the original legendary sorcerers. When the legendary sorcerers gave their lives to banish the darkness of their last battle we magical animals knew it was time for us to pass on as well but we needed a way to save the magic that the great work of magic had blessed the world with to fight evil. So we gave the rest of our life force to a chosen magical animal that was filled with the power of both life and spirit. One that could live through ages. He watched over the legacy of the legendary sorcerers and planted the wands and our spirits in between the path from where the legendary sorcerers would begin their quest and end it."

Dragontame handed over the golden fang to David and he took it. Dragontame disappeared in a blaze of fire that moved upward beautifully in a firework design of a dragon and the golden fang vanished inside of David. His eyes lit up and he put a hand to his heart and said with amazement, "I have my magical animal spirit." He smiled, fist pumped the air and yelled, "Oh yeah!"
