Dragon Warriors: A New Beginning

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

"In the Year of the Dragon,"

"in a world beyond the realm,"

"I, like all the others, awaited the birth of the dragon of whom the prophecies foretold." The dragon spoke. He has red scales and eyes, an ochre underbelly and horns on his head, crimson  spikes on his head, chin, shoulder, back, and tail, and crimson and ochre wings. He walked into a large room inside a stone structure. Within the room are small nests of twigs and within them were eggs, dragon eggs, each all in different colors. But the dragon paid little mind to the others as he strode to one particular egg. While the others were all in abundance of color: red, green, yellow, light blue and such, this one was a brilliant purple. The dragon strode closer to its beautiful color and breathed in a sigh. Suddenly the room shook as cries of war echoed outside.

"But the Dark Master heard the prophecies as well."

"I should have hidden the eggs long before, but I... I thought we were ready, I thought they were safe..."

"oh... how I was wrong."

The red dragon was in alarm and turned and looked at the eggs, then the purple egg. Then he heard footsteps coming towards him and ready himself into a fighting stance. As the footsteps came closer the dragon could hear the invader squeaking in fear and he knew who it was.

"Pyra?"

Running into the room was a younger dragon, his scale coloring was the same as the elder, but has a light red underbelly, ochre horns and eyes, and ochre mane of hair that trailed down the length of his body to his tail with red and light red wings. The young dragon looked scared as he ran in.

"Master Ignitus!"

"Young dragon, are you ok?"

Pyra nodded his head shakily

"Yes, but what's going on? Why did the temple begin shaking?"

Ignitus looked down at the young dragon and before he could say anything more he heard voices.

"Come on fellas! We need to get that Purple egg!"

Ignitus looked at the egg, then to Pyra, then outside. Then he snatches the egg from its nest and put it in young Fire dragon's grasp. Pyra's eyes widened

"M- Master Ignitus? What are you doing?"

"No time to explain, young dragon. I need you to take the egg and run, try and get as far from here as possible. But if you get spotted, head to the Silver River and leave the egg there." Ignitus describes but Pyra wasn't sure about it but does so and leaves the room, but before he did he saw 5 eggs closest to the door. Then grabs them and took off running through the temple grounds as fire rages not far from his location. After the young fire dragon left a yellow-scaled dragon entered the room. He has with light yellow stripes and yellow eyes, a blue scaled underbelly, a blue pair of wings with battered membranes, and blue horns. His eyes were full of dread and fear.

"Save them! The Dark Armies have come!"

Ignitus gave a weary sigh but runs out with the yellow dragon.

"May the Ancestors look after you. May they look after us all."
