Dragons of Elements
Chapter 1 Bloody Night
Chapter 1 Bloody Night
It was a night of blood. Fire swallowed the small village hole. A madman's laugh could be heard. A desperate father takes his only child into the woods, telling her not to move. The father rushes back to his already hopeless village. While the young child cried. Now knowing she will now only see her family in memories.
But she remembered her fathers words, and stays put. A wind passed the girl and the stench of blood and death is blown from her village. Sometime later she fell asleep not knowing that two people had been watching her. A boy, around the age of seventeen, with dark blond hair, blue eyes and a handsome face. He gently stroked the girl thick long dark hair. His heart going out to this little girl that has been through so much in such a short time. A girl, about a year young than himself, with long shiny black hair just stared at the girl showing no emotion.
"Pa..." the girl mumbled coming to from her sleep. "Who are you?!" she backs away as she sees the two people.
"No need to be frightened my dear," said the boy. "My name is Reamia. What is your name?"
The little girl looked at the boy. He wore a dark purple robe and also carried a staff in his right hand. She looked up at the girl who wore a ripped white tunic and brown trousers, she noticed that she was in men's clothing.
"Alic...my...my name is Alic," the girl stammered.
Reamia gets on his knelt and looks at the girl with a gental smile. "You see my friend here, she may seem mean and scary but shes nice inside." the girl manged to let out a little giggle. "Her name is Sebri."
The girl, now identified as Sebri, looks at the small timid girl. Alic gasps as she sees Sebri had two different colored eyes. Her left being blue and right green.
"We are special, just like you," Reamia said to Alic. "Let me see your hand."
Alic put her brown gloved hand behind her back, reluctant to show what had been placed on her palm.
"Please Alic," Reamia insisted gently.
Slowly, but surely, Alic held out her hand and let Reamia remove the glove. He smiled at the lime green tattoo of a dragon that was drew onto her hand.
"Alic. Myself and Sebri have this same tattoo," he held out his hand showing the same marking. Sebri did the very same. "Together, we are meant to stop evil. However first we have to find three eggs."
"You mean d-dragons?" Alic's face lit up.
Reamia nodded. "Yes child. One for you, one for me and one for Sebri. So will you join us?" he held out his arms for the girl.
Alic smiled but she had tears in her eyes and she let herself into Reamia's warm and welcoming arms. She still longer for her family back but at least she wouldn't be alone.
Ten long years passed and the girl grew up to be a strong and elegant eighteen-year-old. However she still had not fulfilled her dream of seeing a dragon.
"Reamia?" Alic rode up next to Reamia on her horse. "Where are we going again?"
"I've told you, we are going to the village named Reno. Their are people their whom we believe have our eggs."
Sebri came running beside on her own horse. "Yes, like the last village, and the one before that and the one before that," Sebri had always been snappy and liked to tease Reamia. "What do you think, Alic? Ten gold coins says this one is just like the other."
"I'll take you on that bet." Alic had been running out of gold but she still always took on Sebri's bets, it was an addiction of hers. "Sebri, what dragons are there again?"
Sebri sighed and rolled her eyes but she told Alic. "There are three class of dragons," she held up three fingers. "Firstly you have the fire dragon," she put down one of her fingers. "Then the air dragon. Last the water dragon. They represent the three elements. There is no earth dragon as it is where each dragon comes from. As do all of us."
"There are no other dragons?" Alic asked tucking her wavy brown hair behind her ears.
"If there are, we don't know about them," Sebri said shrugging.
Reamia looked at the horizon judging the journey to Reno about one more day. He then looked back to Alic. He remembered that first day he saw her. She looked so small and timed. Now, she was a young beautiful girl. Stunning would be the proper word to expresses how Alic looked.
A small twig breaking made Sebri stop in her tracks. Nothing could hide from her superhuman hearing. Alic had found that out the hard way, whilst she was trying to sneak a sweet treat from the pockets during the night.
"What is it?" Reamia said stopping his horse and looking around.
"Somethings coming this way," she jumped of the horse and took out her twin daggers. "Something I plan to cut up," she gave off a devilish smirk thinking about this next kill she planned to do.
However it was no monster that emerged from the woods but a man. The site was still shocking. "Help..." blood burst from his mouth. The man was covered in bruises and blood. He was beyond help.
Reamia jumped off his horse and caught the man as he fell. "What happened? Who did this?"
"Quewa clan...." was the last words the man breathed from his blood soaked lips.
Alic suddenly shook with fear, sorrow and anger. "Those bastard!" she charged off on her horse to go looking for the people that kill her village in cold blood.
"Alic!" yelled both Reamia and Sebri with concern.
Sebri swiftly put away her daggers and jumped back onto her horse. Reamia closed the mans dead cold eyes and muttered a few words to respect this one whom had passed. He jumped onto his horse and rode on following Sebri.
Alic's heart was pounding, her pulse quickened, stomach turned and tears ran down her face. Quewa Clan where murders. Scum. Evil. People that didn't deserve to live, according to Alic's thoughts. Alic could smell the blood of her village people. She could hear her fathers words.
Stay here, Alic. Don't come for me. Stay!
"Pa," a single tear made its way out Alic's eye and down her check.
She kicked her heels and the horse rode faster. She knew Sebri and Reamia would not be pleased with how foolish she was acting, but their yells could be a reward for later once she watched the leader of Quewa Clan's flesh burn. She could picture it now. That filthy bastards flesh falling off, him begging for mercy which Alic would not give. She allowed and evil smirk to sneak its way onto her lips. Alic knew what she would do to this madman that took everything from her. But then again she would thank him. If it wasn't for him Alic would of never met Sebri or Reamia. The two people that raised her.
"You're going to die," she whispered, closing her eyes as she reached the blood and ash smelling village.
