Red is his rage as he walks down the trail from his clan cave. Rage is on fire. His brothers and sisters are frozen in sleep. He is on the trail of those who stole their young. His mind is fixed on hatred now and vengeance and the return of there eggs. One step after the other he moves down the trail. How did this happen? How could he sleep as his children were stolen. There's only one answer, Magic. Someone must have cast a spell to cloud his mind, and make him unaware of his surroundings. This must have been just to get their spirit, the life magic. But who would know about the spirit and what it meant to them? Only a high level sorcerer would have that knowledge and the power to hide this from him. Smoke rose from Rage's nostrils. The more he thought about it, the madder he got. Half way down the trail the forest began. the sounds of life became louder and the smell of gold became stronger. It was close,very close. Around the bend came a man dressed in hunting attire. As mad as Rage was killing the man was his first thought. "Greetings Rage." said the gypsy hunter.
"Death walks beside me stranger." He growled. " Beware."
"I see your upset." said the gypsy. "That wont solve you dilemma."
"And you think you can help me!!" his eyes glowed with anger. The gypsy stared at Rage and gave him a look of the obvious.
"I have words for you." he told him.
"And they are?" Rage stood with his hands on his hips getting more anger by the minute.
1 is fire found at home.
1 is earth in a cave alone.
2 are elven don't let them pass.
1 is magic learning fast.
1 is pretty and on an ark.
1 is evil in the dark.
seek them all to save your kin.
seek the spirit and you will win.
Rage looks at him in amazement. The words seem strange to him, but somehow they calmed him.
" Remember these words, for they will guide you in your quest." said the gypsy." Follow your senses. All will be revealed."
"Who are you gypsy?" He asked.
" I am Valen." He said. " And we will meet again."
With that the man walked off into the forest. Rage stood and pondered what he had said. Who was the gypsy? And what did his words mean.? A prophecy? That's what it sounded like. Rage walked on, his mind moving faster then his legs. His anger subsiding and his vision clearing he picked up the scent of the gold and found the mound. Its safe, that's good. he can pick it up later. Rage thought about the words. He'd have to figure it out later.The scent was leading him to a village. His prey was here in this place. Rage walked backed into the forest and found a clearing. There he took his dragon form and closed one eye to rest. His dreams were of dragnet's playing in the cave and his brothers and sisters hunting. Morning came and Rage opened his eye. He was hungry. He sent out his senses and found a buck drinking from a stream and called it to him. In a daze the buck came to him. Rage blew a puff of gas out to surround the buck, a noxious gas. It staggered a few steps then fell over paralyzed. Rage move to the buck and picked it up, He flipped it up and caught it, then had his breakfast. With his stomach full he shifted to human form and made his way into the village.Many people passed and bid him good morning. Pleasant people lived here, then again he could see them all with pitchfork coming after his clan. A scent caught his attention and he followed it. It went to the back of the village when he say a nice little cottage with a fence and a porch swing. Rage move to the side of the barn as two young ones came running out followed by a woman. none of them had the scent, close but not quite right. There must be someone else in there. Rage waited and soon a man came out. His scent hit Rage almost immediately. This is the one. Rage made his way into the barn as the man came closer. He hide behind the hay as the man came in to begin his days chores. Rage stepped out as the man picked up his shovel and made his way to the door.
" Aiya." Tomar said a bit startled by the man in crimson leather. " Can I help you?"
" Yes you can help me thief." Rage said.
" Sir your in my home." Tomar held the shovel out. " Your trespassing and you call me thief? "
"I have something of yours." Rage held up the pendant. " And you have something of mine."
Tomar stared at the pendant. It was his mothers, the one he left in the dragon cave. This man was in the cave. What does he want?
" What do you want with me?" Tomar dropped the shovel. This was going to be trouble he knew it. With his eyes glowing red and smoke coming out of his nose Rage advance on Tomar.
"Where are the eggs?" He yelled.
" Eggs?" Tomar said. " What eggs? I found no eggs. Just the jewels."
" Those are eggs." Rage smoldered. " Our eggs, My egg. And I want it now."
Tomar fell to his knees. He knew this was a dragon in front of him not a man. His life was at a end. He stepped back and dug in the hay and pulled out the ruby egg.
" Here it is." He said. He held it out for Rage. "I think its name is Blaze. I should have figured it out."
" Blaze?" Rage said. " It talked to you?"
At that moment a noise came from the egg, CRACK!!! Pieces fell from it as a head emerged from it.The dragonet looked up at Tomar and spoke his name.
[TOMAR?]
" I can hear it in my head." Tomar told Rage as he stared down at the little red dragon craddled in his hands.
"He wants to merge with you." Rage said. " If Blaze wants you, you must be worthy of my trust. Will you accept the merger?"
Tomar looked at the dragonet and saw love in its eyes. He knew he couldn't let it go. It would be like losing one of his children.
" Yes I will" Tomar said. As Blaze moved into his body Tomar could feel the feelings of love and comfort. His need to be joined was almost overwhelming. The strength and power Tomar perceived was so strong, he knew then he made the right decision. All Tomar's senses flared to a higher degree. His body began to change, Scales grew, Fingers became talons. Tomar fell to the barn floor and roared. " Relax and let the change happen." Rage said. " There won't be any pain. Their body lengthened and his tail grew out. They reared up on their hind legs and wings sprouted from their back. Smoke and flame erupted from Blazes nostrils. Quickly Rage absorbed the flames to keep the barn from burning.
"Now your one of us."Rage smiled. "Now you are Dragon!!!!!!!!"
"I see your upset." said the gypsy. "That wont solve you dilemma."
"And you think you can help me!!" his eyes glowed with anger. The gypsy stared at Rage and gave him a look of the obvious.
