As darkness started to settle on the realm of Leviatha a young man was standing in the shadows awaiting orders . As he was waiting he watched two young boys about the age of five playing with each other . The boys would chase each other , then they would pick up sticks , pretend they were swords and start play fighting . As the man was watching he pondered the fate of the two boys . Shortly he was joined by a older man who was his captain together they wondered what would they have to do . The man spoke to him " Drake do you see the boy with the dark brownish black hair ? " " Yes I see him " Drake replied back . " That 's the prince and our target . " " But Mallos what about the other boy ? " I don 't know " the older guy replied . Suddenly out of nowhere a mist appeared and out of the mist stepped a tall , muscular , and evil man . His eyes were like fire , his hair was Jet black , his clothes were clothes of a royal king who is getting ready for battle . His heart was as cold as a iceberg and his hatred of people knew no bounds . When he spoke it struck fear into the hearts of the men in front of him . His name was Galtorak . " Mallos , Drake I want you to capture the prince and kill the other boy , make sure you do it tonight and without any witnesses . " " Now go ! " Just as he appeared the mist swallowed him up and he and the mist disappeared without a trace of him every being there . " You heard the boss let 's go and get it over with . " Mallos said . They both walked off into the forest to set a trap for the boys . Meanwhile in another part of the realm a young set of twin boys were preparing their home for there dad to come home , they anixously awaited the time when he would come home . They were the sons of Drake their names were Shondic and Phoenix they were about 8 years old and had a love for adventure . They loved when their dad came home because he would bring them gifts and tell them wonderfully stories of the other parts of the realm . They knew he would be home soon so they started feeding the animals and helping their mom prepare for dinner not knowing the consquences of what their dad was about to do . About five miles away twin sisters Venus and Shanic were preparing dinner for the evening . When suddenly out of the sky a Ruby colored dragon started breathing fire onto their farm . They ran out of the house and towards the woods . The dragon saw them breathed fire scorching Venus on the arm , but they made it to the forest and to safety . The dragon did not pursue them and when it had finished he left the burning farm and flew off into the distance . Venus and Shanic watched as their life as they knew it and their farm burned out of their lives forever . Shanic swore to get revenge for what the dragon had done . Meanwhile Ropav and Prince Octorok were noticing it was getting late . " Hey Octorok I think we better head back it 's getting late and because you are the prince I 'll let you pick which way the long or the short way ? " said the boy with light brown hair . " I think Ropav we should take the long way because I don 't feel like going home just yet . " So they took the long route and started thru the forest on their way home chatting about what they were going to do the next day never knowing that their plans would never happen . Because Just as soon as they got halfway home they were attacked by Mallos and Drake . " Hello prince it 's a pleasant night don 't you agree ? " Mallos said . The prince replied with this comment , " What do you want from us you evil men ? " " Oh , just your cooperation in coming willing with us . " Drake responded . " What if I say no . " " Either way you are coming with us whether you want to our not " , Mallos said as he grabbed the prince by the arm . Ropav who stood by quietly while they were talking suddenly jumped on Mallos back and started choking him . Mallos grabbed Ropav off his back and flung him at a tree . Ropav hit the tree and stood up but abruptly collapsed to the ground unconcious . " haha little fellow has some fight in him but bit off more then he could chew . " Mallos laughed . Prince Octorok saw what happened to his friend and cried in sorrow . Mallos knocked the prince out and was about to pick him up when all of a sudden a dark silvery shape knocked him to the ground . They saw it was a silvery ( with a tint of blue ) she wolf her eyes were angry pools of amber , she was lean and muscular and she wasn 't messing around she bit down on Mallos and wouldn 't let go . " Stop standing there and get this thing off of me . " Mallos said in pain . Just as Drake picked up his sword a fiery ball hit the wolf in the back and she went unconcious . Drake looked up and saw a huge Ruby dragon coming in for a landing . As it landed it said " Hurry up before I change my mind and kill you . " Drake picked up Ropav and jumped on the dPhoenix saw him first " Mom , Shondic dad 's home " he shouted in glee . He ran to greet Drake and gave him a big hug . They walked together into the house and sat down for dinner . When out of nowhere a fire ball hit their house and killed their parents . Shondic and Phoenix stared in shock . Shondic was the first to respond . He grabbed Phoenix and ran out of the house into the woods . They barely made it when another fireball came inches from hitting them . Phoenix cried mournfully and Shondic swore to get revenge as they watched as the life as they knew it disappeared forever . Meanwhile Galtorak was furious that they had lost the prince and sent a army out looking for him never knowing that he was in the care of a young couple about one mile from his fortress . Galtorak decided it was time to start searching for the emerald scale , and the dragon champion . Galtorak would never give up until he had it . He looked over into a twisted mirror and saw Firedrake a huge ruby colored dragon . " Don 't worry my friend we will be one again and nothing will stop us when that happens " Galtorak cackled evily . but have you ever tried placing background music in it ? It can gives some readers better engagement on reading your literature . See my story of " Feli Chronicles : Vitandes " here on Serebiiforums non Fanfic stories as an example Also , I have new literature here as well . Check them out and review too . My original story is now open for OCs if you wanna be part of the Chronicle . Twilight was falling on the land as a young fellow was working on pounding and heating a piece of metal . The young fellow was fifteen and had been working with the blacksmith since he was ten . He started work when he was ten because he had too much energy and usually drove his parents crazy with his restless spirit . He was a bright lad and learned fast . He was about five feet eight inches tall . His hair was a dark brownish black color , and his clothes were covered in ash and soot from working at the forge . He was a handsome young lad and his eyes always sparkled with friendliness . He was an unusual fellow being as he was very friendly but he preferred to be alone , and he tried not to get too close to anyone for fear he would be hurt . He had a personality that could melt all but the coldest hearts . His parents didn 't know his real name because they found him in the forest when he was five , he didn 't even know his own name . They named him Octorok after the young prince that was missing . The blacksmith soon learned that Octorok had a natural ability to forge weapons . By the time Octorok turned thirteen he could forge shields , and weapons of all sorts . His blades were all unique and of the finest make . People would come from all over the realm to buy a blade from him . Octorok never sold a blade to one with evil intentions , and he was always fair to the people when he sold his blades and other weapons . He priced the weapons by what the person could pay and sometimes he even gave his blades away . Right now he was working on a secret project of his . As he took the diamond shaped metal out of the fire he spoke to himself . " I wonder why I am doing this , it must be for a future need or something but why am I making two of them ? " In the corner sat a shield exactly like the one he was working on . By the shield was a sword which was his finest sword he had ever made he didn 't know why but for the first time he didn 't want anyone to see his blade . He pulled the shield he was working on out of the cooling water and set it next Octorok woke up the next morning feeling refreshed but he had a foreboding thought about today . He figured his parents were already gone for the day , so he got dressed and made some breakfast , and then he left to get to work . Because his mind was on his work he didn 't see the blood on the ground and kept walking . He got to the blacksmith 's and started working on the sword again . He worked all day long on the blade and only had a little bit left to get done when he heard a stallion scream . He immediately dropped the blade and spun around to stare into the face of a dark bay Arabian stallion . The stallion pawed the ground then snorted in Octorok 's face staring at him with an inquisitive expression . They stared at each other for about ten minutes when the stallion turned away and galloped off into the distance . " I wonder what that was all about , that stallion was huge and definitely looked like it would kill me at any moment , I wonder why it didn 't ? " Octorok pondered while he picked up the sword and got back to work . A couple of hours later he finished the blade and set it next to the identical blade in his special hiding place . His shields always looked the same but for the first time his swords were completely identical like twin blades . The hiding place was in a secluded place and about an hour 's walk from town . He had found it one day while exploring the forest when he was six years old . Over the years he would come here to relax and hide his valuables . As far as he knew he was the only one who knew about this place . After he placed the blade down he started heading home . He was halfway home when he saw Blaze staring at something on the ground . He walked up to Blaze and was about to ask him what he was looking at when he saw it and had to look away with grief on his face . For what he saw was the torn and dead body of his adopted mother . Blaze spoke " Octorok we think the stallion did this and we think he attacked them last night , we haven 't found your father yet but we think he was also attacked . " Suddenly theyThroughout the next week Octorok was very restless and got very little sleep . " Today was the funeral and tomorrow I will start on my quest . " Octorok whispered to himself as he walked to his secret hideout . As he entered the clearing he noticed something was wrong . He saw broken branches and crushed bushes as if something forced itself through the entrance . He ran the rest of the way and stopped abruptly when he saw an Arabian stallion in his hideout . A man was on the stallion 's back and in his hand he held one of the swords and on his back was one of the shields . The man looked Octorok in the eyes and muttered something under his breath . Then he kicked the stallion and as he galloped off he yelled " We will meet again Octorok and thanks for the blade . " As the stallion galloped away Octorok formed a plan . He grabbed his bag , shield and blade even though he knew it was futile he ran off in pursuit of the man and stallion . He had the man in his sight , when all of a sudden a mist appeared and out of the mist an enormous Ruby colored dragon appeared and picked up the man . The mist swallowed up the stallion and the dragon . When the mist had disappeared the dragon , stallion , and man were all gone . Octorok knew this was going to be an abortive attempt at getting the stallion but he didn 't think it was going to be this unproductive . Octorok continued walking . " I started this quest and I am going to complete it even if it kills me " . He said as he walked deeper into the forest . Octorok had been in the forest for days now and he still had no clue where he was going . He decided as soon as he exited the forest he would find the nearest town and stock up on supplies . About a week later he was out of food and water and there was no sight of a town , an end of the forest , or anything to eat or drink . He was getting discouraged and very weary , but he continued on his journey . He was glad he did when two days later he saw a village . He entered the village and stopped at the nearest inn he paid for a room then went to his room and fell into a deep sleep which lasted for three days . " Wake up you lazy , filthy , scoundrel , before I came in there and wake you up myself . " someone yelled banging on his door . Octorok woke with a start . " Ow my head , wait I am not a lazy , filthy , scoundrel , and well maybe I am filthy but that will be solved in a minute . " Octorok thought to himself . He cleaned himself then put on fresh clothes . After he finished he walked into the hallway and downstairs . " There you are lazy scoundrel , now pay up or else , " the innkeeper yelled at him . " I don 't appreciate you calling me a lazy scoundrel and I already paid for the night yesterday . " Octorok replied back trying to control his anger . " I hate to burst your bubble mister but you stayed for three nights not one . " the innkeeper explained softly . " What ! I slept for three days no wonder you called me lazy , I am apologize for the misunderstanding miss and here is the money I owe you I am deeply sorry . " Octorok said as he apologized . " That 's ok mister I am sorry I called you all of those names but I got to keep my job going or my master might not feed me tonight . By the way you can my name is Moonbeam . What 's your name ? " The innkeeper asked . " Nice to meet you Moonbeam , my name is Octorok , I am sorry to have caused you trouble , but I really thought I was only asleep for one night not three . " No problem Octorok thanks for being so kind about it I got to get back to work now but I hope we meet again Octorok . " Moonbeam replied in a not so * * * * The ruby colored dragon landed on a rocky ledge then changed into a man , dropping the man that was on his back to the ground . " Mallos ! Do you know how hard it is to change into my fiery form these days ? On top of that you were almost caught by that lad , you are lucky you had Deo or you would have never escaped . Did you even get want you wanted to ? " The dragon man said . " Yes I did master Galtorak , and the stallion was an excellent choice , I outdistanced that boy by a long shot . But master that boy looked very familiar , I wonder could he be the lost prince Octorok ? " Mallos replied . Galtorak looked at Mallos with rage " I am pretty sure if it was the prince I would have known , so don 't you ever suggest that again . " He shouted as his eyes blazed with flames . " Ok boss whatever you say " Mallos stammered . Galtorak calmed down as he said " Go check the prisoner he has been restless for the past ten years , and I don 't want him escaping and joining with his friend the prince . We need the boy so we can lure the prince to us and capture him , I need him caught alive . " Mallos walked off into the dungeons as he went he muttered to himself " I am sure that was the lost prince and with this blade I will free the prisoner , I am tired of Galtorak telling me what to do all the time . His reign must end so I can rule instead , but for him to be defeated the dragon champion must be found and the dragon warriors must form . When that happens Galtorak will be destroyed and I will claim his power and become ruler of all . Mwhaha . " Meanwhile a boy about fifteen years old was watching the meeting between Mallos and Galtorak . He wondered how he was going to get out and when he would ever see his friend again . He watched as Mallos came down the hallway and prepared for anything . Mallos entered laughing his evil laugh . " Hello little Ropav aren 't you filled with abhorrence toward us by now . " Mallos snickered . " You think I abhor you it 's much more then that you have made my life miserable for the past ten years , you have tormented me and tried your best to make me hate everyone , you have beaten me and made me target practice for your guards . So you think I abhor you the answer is yes I hate you with every fiber of my being and will make you suffer as much as you have made me suffer . " Ropav replied with vehemence . " Strong words for one so young and one who is about to die . " Mallos said as he pulled out a deadly blade and drove it through the bars at Ropav . Ropav dodged the sword and tackled Mallos to the ground , took the sword from him and stabbed Mallos in the chest with the blade . Mallos mumbled in a weak voice " This was not supposed to happen . " then died . Ropav pulled the blade from Mallos 's chest grabbed the shield that was lying on the ground , and then charged down the hallway and out into the field that led to the stables . As Ropav ran past the stables a Arabian stallion watched him , the stallion was a dark bay color and was Galtorak 's favorite stallion because the stallion 's heart was colder than normal but not as cold as his master 's heart , the stallion was wondering what the lad was doing running away from the fortress , the stallion guessed he was a escaped prisoner so he charged out the gate and blocked the boy 's path . Ropav almost ran right into the stallion and if he hadn 't looked up when he did he would have ran into it . Ropav stopped abruptly and that 's when the stallion attacked . Before Ropav could move the stallion was on him and had him pinned to the ground , but the stallion wasn 't attacking anymore it just stood there staring at him . " Will you please get off of me horse so I can leave ? " To Ropav 's astonishment the stallion listened and started nuzzling him with its muzzle . " Ok this is a little odd , I wonder what your name is . " The stallion pawed the ground like it was writting . Ropav looked down and saw that the stallion had written Deo on the ground . " Your name is Deo , ok Deo can you let me get on your back so I can escape faster ? " Deo responded by picking Ropav up by the back of his shirt and dropping him on his back . The stallion then looked back at Ropav on his back and winked . Before Ropav could recover from his astonishment the stallion started galloping , He had to hold onto the stallion 's mane and held on for his life , because this stallion was wickedly fast . About an hour later Ropav could hold on no longer and fell off into a bush in the woods . Deo turned around and nuzzled the unconscious boy as if to say you are welcome little man , then he turned back into the woods and headed back to the stables . A couple of hours later Ropav regained consciousness . He stood up and then wished he hadn 't because pain shot up his body , he looked down and saw he had landed in a thorn bush on top of some pointy rocks . He almost went unconscious again but instead he moved away from the thorn bush then collapsed on the ground . He woke up a little bit later in someone 's room on their bed . He tried to get up but a girl gently pushed him back down and told him " You need to rest . " Where am I ? " Ropav asked . " You are at Aaron 's Cloud Inn " the girl replied . " Who are you and where is the Cloud Inn located ? " Ropav questioned . " My name is Moonbeam and the inn is located just outside the Forests of Leviathan , you ask a lot of questions before I leave can you tell me your name ? " " My name is Ropav " he replied as he fell back to sleep . He woke up to someone shouting in his ear . " Oww my head , what 's with the shouting ? " he asked . " Ahh you are awake my name is Aaron Nobleman and I am the owner of this fine inn , what are you doing here without paying and what do you think of this fine inn ? " a man asked him . " Really ! You wake me up by shouting in my ear to ask me what I think of your inn , I think it 's the worst inn ever the dungeon was better than this place . And to answer your other question I was brought in here . I don 't appreciate your manners and I am glad I didn 't pay for your service . " Ropav replied with indignation . " How dare you , you ungrateful scalawag I brought you into my inn and give you the best of everything , and you treat me like this well I this is what I think of you . " Aaron shouted with anger as he picks Ropav up and tosses him out of the inn . " And don 't come back you scoundrel , if you do I will be doing more than kicking you out . " I can 't believe it that guy is as mean and cruel as IRopav decided to get some supplies before heading on but he didn 't want to go into town , but he knew he had to " I am going to hate this very much . " he sighed . He walked into town and asked for the provisions he needed , everywhere he went in that town the people stared at him like they were looking at a ghost . It made him feel very uncomfortable so he paid for his stuff as fast as he could then he headed into the woods . He had been walking for a hour when he came to a field . He recognized it , and realized this is where he played with his friend when they were younger , before he was taken prisoner , but for some strange reason he couldn 't remember what his friend 's name was or what his friend looked like , all he could remember is his friend was a prince and that he had been captured protecting his friend . He walked onward not knowing that his friend was just three feet away asleep under a berry bush . He decided to try and find his friend but he would avoid towns unless he absolutely needed supplies , he hated when the people stared at him . Being imprisoned for ten years enduring the torture had made him bitter , distrustful and full of hatred towards people . It was getting late and he still needed to find a place he could sleep and something he could eat because he forgot to buy enough food . Suddenly he heard a noise behind him he drew his sword and quietly turned around then backed up behind a tree . The bushes rustled and out stepped a wolf . It was a she wolf and she held part of a deer in her mouth . He watched the wolf come closer then watched as she lay down and started eating the deer . He realized if he didn 't do something about the wolf he would be there for hours . So he quietly and carefully walked towards the wolf , he knew he hadn 't made a sound but the wolf had somehow sensed him and turned towards him . The she wolf looked him in the eyes for a while then turned and walked away into the woods . " Those eyes I remember seeing them , I recognized that wolf that was Oceana the prince 's loyal guardian . I wonder why sLast edited by Ropav ; 5th February 2013 at 3 : 32 PM . " Get to work you despicable excuse for a slave or I 'll drop your rations down again , and make you sleep in the jail again . " A man shouted at a lad about sixteen years old . The lad didn 't even flinch as he continued watching a group of soldiers approach . The man looked at the lad curiously then looked down the road to see what the lad was looking at . He froze in fear as he saw a group of soldiers marching towards his ranch . " No it can 't be them I paid my fee . Diamond if you can help me I will free you , and will make sure you are well equipped for the battle " he said as he turned back to the boy . " I 'll do it , but you must give me your shield and blade you received from that young Octorok guy . " Diamond said as he watched the soldiers advance . " Whatever you say Diamond here take them I won 't need them besides it doesn 't stay sharp and the shield won 't take much more hits , look at all the dents in it . The man said as he passed the blade and shield over . As soon as Diamond touched the sword and shield they magically were restored . The dents in the shield disappeared and the sword became as sharp as steel . The man stared in awe because he realized that Octorok was right the blade and shield were made for people with good intentions , and because he was a man with evil intentions the blade would never work for him and the shield wouldn 't protect him . The soldiers were advancing but as soon as they got close to the fence the stopped marching and shouted for Timothus to come out . The man stepped towards them " What are you doing here I paid for my life already ? " The lead soldier stepped towards him . " You Timothus have been sentenced to death for helping a dragon warrior , and thus shall perish " as he spoke Diamond struck and killed him instantly . The other soldiers seeing their leader killed so fast were in chaos some ran away whereas others charged at the man who killed thier leader . It was over as soon as it started the soldiers that had attacked were all dead on the ground . Timothus turned to Diamond " You are free just asDiamond continued on his way home forgetting to take the side road he took the forest path and that 's where the trouble began . He wasn 't even looking where he was going and fell into a trap . Soldiers attacked him from all sides he didn 't even have time to draw his sword before they attacked . He backed up towards a tree and tried to draw his sword but it was stuck in its sheath and he couldn 't pull it out . The soldiers advanced as he bumped into the tree he was trapped with nowhere to go , he decided if he was going to die he would die fighting . So he charged the soldiers with his shield raised he sounded a battle cry . When suddenly the soldiers seemed distracted and to get fewer and fewer each second but as Diamond looked at the ground he saw the soldiers he noticed that they were all dead except for one . The one that wasn 't dead was fighting a boy who looked younger then himself . The boy had a sword of the finest steel and seemed to know how to use it . As he watched he saw the boy slice the last soldier , the boy looked at him then he turned away and walked off into the woods . As Diamond continued back to Timothus 's place he pondered who the boy was and why he had helped him . He made it back without another incident and handed the supplies to Timothus then headed back to his room in the bunkhouse . As he prepared for bed he wondered if he could ever repay the boy back and pondered what the Norog had said and thought maybe the Norog was right and maybe the dragon warriors and Link the emerald dragon were maybe not a myth after all . He closed his eyes and dreamed about the symbol of the dragon warriors and wondered why he was chosen to be a dragon warrior because he had a lot to learn if he was going to be one and he decided he would start by finding that boy as soon as his three years were up he would find that boy and find out what it meant to be a true warrior . " Thief , thief someone stop him he stole that food " someone shouted as a tall , muscular , attractive , young man ran by . The thief ran faster and disappeared in the woods . As the young thief entered in a secluded area he slowed down and checked the food . " I think it 's about time I leave , Phoenix you can take care of yourself now I promise as soon as I get done with this mission I will return . " A young man said as he stepped out of the shadows he looked exactly the same as the Phoenix except his hair was a lighter blonde color . " But Shondic I need you , you can 't leave me . Please don 't go this mission to get revenge has made you withdrawn , filled with rage and hatred . You used to be so fun to be around but it 's been ten years and still you harbor this bitterness please brother don 't go . " Phoenix pleaded . His brother turned to look at him and Phoenix knew he couldn 't change his brother 's mind for he saw in his brother 's eyes so much hatred he had to turn away . When he looked back he saw his brother was gone . I hope he will be alright he said to himself . Meanwhile a little further in the woods a young woman who had light brown hair , was muscular not as tall as Phoenix but very beautiful , ran into a clearing with a sack on her shoulder . " Shanic where are you I was very successful today apparently some man decided to steal before me , so the shop keepers were busy chasing him leaving me free to get whatever I needed " the girl as she looked for her sister . A woman that had darker brown hair stepped out from behind a tree she looked exactly like her sister well besides the hair . " Venus , I must go before I turn on you . You know this desire for revenge has turned me evil and if I don 't leave soon I don 't know if I will be able to stop myself from attacking you . I know you will be fine you have turned out to be a lovely caring young lady , mother would be proud " the lady named Shanic said . Venus looked at her sister and knew that she was right she handed the food to her and wished her luck on her journey . I 'll be back befAs the days went by Phoenix couldn 't stop thinking about his brother he wondered if Shondic was alright and when he would see him again . He decided that he wasn 't going to stay here any longer he was going to look for his brother even if it took years . He started down the road past the town and into the Forests of Leviathan . Meanwhile Venus had already planned on doing just that and was almost to the town of Deoraina when she was stopped by some soldiers . The soldiers asked her all kinds of questions like what she was doing in the forest , and why she was traveling alone . She answered the soldier 's questions to the best of her abilities , but her answers didn 't satisfy the men . They didn 't believe her and wanted to take her to their leader so they moved towards her . She backed away and even though she knew nobody was around she screamed for help . Phoenix had just come over the hill when he heard a woman screaming for help . He ran towards the screams and saw a beautiful young lady trapped by soldiers . He didn 't even think before he acted , he charged the soldiers and attacked them from behind he quickly disposed of the six soldiers before they even knew what hit them . The girl looked at him then promptly fainted from exhaustion . He walked over to her and picked her up and carried her into town . He walked to the first inn he could find and paid for two rooms for the night . He put her in her room on the bed and covered her with the blanket then he walked out of the room closing the door behind him . " Is she your girlfriend ? She is very beautiful " someone whispered to him . He spun around and looked into the eyes of a young lady . " Sorry to startle you , my name is Moonbeam and I am the keeper of this inn , what 's your name ? " The young innkeeper said . " I am Phoenix , that 's ok I was just thinking about something else . Yes she is very beautiful and no she is not my girlfriend I just met her in the forest just a couple of minutes ago . " Moonbeam looked at him then she told him he should get some rest and she would talk to him in the morning . So he went to bed and slept for hours . When he finally woke up it was the middle of the afternoon . He decided to take a shower and then go down for lunch . Meanwhile Venus had woke up hours ago . She wondered where she was and where the handsome man that had rescued her was . She got out of bed and headed downstairs , while she was down there she learned from the innkeeper that the stranger 's name was Phoenix and that he had brought her here and paid for her room . She wanted to think the young man so she waited for him to come downstairs . She didn 't have to wait long because about an hour later he came down . As soon as he came down the stairs he sat down next to her then asked her if she was alright . ' Yes I am just fine , thank - you for rescuing me Phoenix . ' " So now you know my name but I don 't know yours will you please tell me it ? " ' Yes I will it is Venus and I am in search of my twin sister , what brings you here ? ' " I am in search of my twin brother do you want to work together ? " ' Yes let 's start right away . ' Venus stood up and followed Phoenix outside . They thanked Moonbeam then headed into the woods . Meanwhile about fifty miles away Shondic had just woken up when he heard shouting nearby . He grabbed a stick then headed towards the shouting . What he saw made him gasp and almost drop his stick . He saw a beautiful young lady shouting at a group of soldiers as she shouted she jabbed the soldiers that got too close to her with a stick . He laughed at that and wished he hadn 't because the soldiers turned towards him and he only had a stick with him . Suddenly his arm felt heavier and when he looked down he saw instead of a stick he had a sword in his hand . The girl looked at him shocked as he charged the soldiers and knocked them out ignoring the sharp pain in his leg as one soldier sliced him . He was down to the last three soldiers when he couldn 't stand anymore he collapsed on the ground and promptly passed out . The girl looked at him them sighed men are hopeless ; she looked down and noticed her stick was also a sword and then she charged and finished off the remaining soldiers before they even knew what hit them . The girl 's name was Shanic and she was on a quest to get revenge and didn 't want to babysit this guy but she owed him her life so she stayed with him and tended to his injury . When he woke up she made sure he didn 't move and learned his name was Shondic and he too was on a quest for revenge . She decided to team up with him and as soon as he was perfectly healed they would continue on their mission together . It took almost a month for Shondic 's injury to completely heal , during that month they got to know each other better and they also learned to trust each other . Also during that month they faced many enemies and prevailed only when they worked together . They learned each other 's strengths and weaknesses . They fought together like a well - oiled machine and seemed to know each other better after each fight . That morning Shondic got up by himself and walked with a limp but he still was able to walk without aid . Two weeks later he could walk perfectly fine and so that 's the day they moved on . They endeMeanwhile Phoenix and Venus were both traveling through the woods when they came to a clearing . In the middle of the clearing sat a wolf she watched the two of them approach , and then as they raised their swords to attack she walked away . That left Venus and Phoenix both baffled . They stared at one another confused then continued on walking to the edge of the clearing . They looked on the ground where the wolf had been and saw a strange marking . The marking had three triangles stacked in another triangle on the sides of the triangle was dragon wings , on the top of the triangle was a sword sticking out , the sword had gem in the hilt and the sword was engulfed in flames . Right beside the triangle on each side was a paw print . When they stepped closer to get a better look the symbol disappeared leaving them more baffled than ever . Chapter 3 Convergence Three years later . . . . Octorok had been on his mission for three years they have been the longest years of his life . He found no trace of the stallion named Deo or the man that stole his blade . He had no way of knowing that the man was dead and his blade was in the hands of another person . During the past three years he had been searching everywhere but he never found anything . He learned more about himself from more flashbacks he had but he still didn 't know exactly who he was or who the boy was . He decided to make camp for the night and when he was about to fall asleep he thought he heard a horse neighing . He stood up and saw the stallion he had been looking for . The stallion watched him then it screamed twice . He looked around when heard someone speak but he realized that the words spoken he heard were in his head not heard from his ears he turned and stared at the stallion in bewilderment . Yes Octodust it 's me Deo speaking to you . He looked around again even though he knew it was the stallion . " Umm Deo my name is Octorok not Octodust wait a mintute why am I talking to a horse ? " I don 't know maybe because you feel like talking to me . " Why did you kill my parents Deo ? " I had to or Galtorak would have punished me plus I love destroying families . " You what ? ? ? That 's just cruel and heartless . You will pay for this . " You do know that if you kill me you will never learn who you are and where your friend is the stallion neighs evilly . " Dang I hate your wisdom but you are right so why are you here ? " I am here to guide you to your friend he is still alive . Meanwhile Ropav was traveling through the woods he still looked terrible even though he has been living in the woods for three years and eating plenty of berries . He also was very good at swordsmanship and even protected someone three years ago . He had been searching for his friend always coming within an inch of seeing him but never really seeing him . He traveled alone yet every time he saw someone under attack he defended them and quickly disappeared before they could thank him . He was a loner and felt uncomfortable around people . He avoided towns and villages and stayed on forest paths . Whenever people were around he disappeared and went a different way . He had been using this strategy for the past three years little knowing that he was being followed the whole time . Meanwhile yet again Diamond was being mistreated he grabbed his pay and decided to leave . As soon as he left he knew he had done the right thing because he felt much better and decided to head to the town of Deoraina and stay at the Cloud Inn to see if it was better than the last inn he had stayed at three years ago . He arrived three days later and entered the Inn so far everything looked nicer and more modern then at the Raina Inn . He was greeted by a young lady who looked like she had a rough day today . Her clothes were torn and her hair was all messed up . ' Evening sir what can we do for you today ? My name is Moonbeam and it is my job to make sure you get everything you need . ' " I would like a room and some dinner to be prepared for me . " He said as he handed over some money . ' Ok kind sir your room is room five and give me about an hour to finish your meal . ' " Ok I will " he said as he walked up the stairs . He came down an hour later to find a nice meal at the table set up for him . He walked over to the table sat down and started eating . As he was eating he was joined by the owner Aaron . ' Hello Mr . Diamond how are you enjoying my Inn ? Is my slave Moonbeam serving you well ? ' " Yes your Inn is very nice and Moonbeam has been doing a good job I got to leave tomorrow but I might be back sometime in the future . " ' That 's good news you pay very well . ' " Ok I am going to bed now goodnight Mr . Aaron . " ' Sleep well Diamond ' He said as smiled to himself while staring at the sword in his hand . Aaron watched Diamond Head upstairs then he looked at the sword in his hand ' He will never know its missing same with all this money he doesn 't need it . ' He chuckled to himself . Meanwhile both Phoenix and Venus were both traveling through the land when they ended up back in the town of Deoraina they decided to head back to the Cloud Inn and see how their friend Moonbeam was doing . They got to the Inn and realized it had changed somewhat . They looked for Moonbeam but couldn 't find her so they decided to stay the night and find hear in the morning . They checked in with the owner and then headed to their rooms for the night . The next morning they woke up and greeted each other then headed downstairs to look for Moonbeam . They found her outside talking to some cats . They looked at each other then headed over towards her . " Hello Moonbeam we were in the neighborhood and decided to pay you a visit . " ' Hello guys I am so glad to see you , when did you get here ? ' " We arrived yesterday evening and spent the night here . " ' Ah I see did you meet Diamond yet he is so handsome and laid back . He arrived yesterday night as well . ' Phoenix turned towards Venus and they both burst out laughing . ' What is so funny ? ' " Nothing Moonbeam , nothing . " Moonbeam looked at them funny then turned back to her chores . " We should go meet this Diamond and see why Moonbeam finds him so fascinating . " " I agree with you Venus let 's do it . " They both walked inside and sat down to wait for Diamond to come downstairs . Diamond came downstairs in a furious mood . " The no good , low down , dirty scalawag stole my stuff he will pay for this . " He turned down the stairs and saw some people staring at him . " What are you staring at ? " ' Are you Diamond ? And we were just wondering why you were shouting at the top of your lungs . ' " Yes I am Diamond and I was shouting because the owner robbed me of my sword and money , and I intend to have them back . " He said as he marched outside looking for Aaron . He found him in the town showing off his stuff he had stolen . " Give me back my sword and money you no good thief or pay the price . " ' Never will you get your stuff back , because once I steal something I never return it . ' " Ok then I will fight you for it and if I win you have to give me my stuff back and set Moonbeam free . " ' Ok deal but you can 't use any weapons or tricks . ' They started drawing a circle in the dust then they stepped into the circle . ' The first person to step out of the circle loses . ' The battle began as soon as he said that . They both stared at each other like two tigers getting ready to fight over a scrap of food . Aaron made the first move by charging at Diamond with a sword raised , but Diamond was ready for it he dodged the blade and shoved Aaron aside . That made Aaron very angry he threw the sword at Diamond then tackled him to the ground . Diamond dodged the sword and spun around as he was tackled to the ground . He came very close to being knocked out of the circle but he managed to stay in the lines . He flipped Aaron over his head and out of the circle . He got up slowly then turned to face Aaron . " Now you owe me my stuff and Moonbeam 's freedom . " ' Fine then take it and leave . ' He picked up his stuff then started heading towards the woods when both Phoenix and Venus ran after him . " What do you two want ? " " We want to join you on your quest ; we are on a quest to find my twin brother and Venus 's twin sister . " " I guess you can join me but you must stay out of my way . " The trio headed off into the woods never knowing that they were bei * * * * Meanwhile Moonbeam was getting her chores done , when she heard Aaron calling her name . She ran to her master . " Yes sir what do you need ? " ' Nothing I am telling you that you are free now that no good man Diamond dueled me and won you your freedom . You can leave anytime you want . ' " He did ! I am free ? Yippee yeah I will leave as soon as I am prepared . " She ran off to start preparing for the long journey ahead of her . She finished packing a couple of hours later , then she headed back downstairs with a little bag full of her stuff . She asked Aaron if she could have the sword that was in the chicken house and the shield that was in the shallows of the pond . He gave her the shield but made her work a couple more days for the sword . As soon as she received the sword she headed towards the woods to look for Diamond to thank him and to ask him if she could join him on his quest . She didn 't know where to look for him because she was several days behind him and she didn 't know where he was heading . She was determined to find him and join him and nothing was going to stop her . So she jogged towards the woods and started her search . She spent one night in the woods and loved it . She loved the forest animals that came out at night and all the nature sounds . The next morning she came to a cave that was blocked by thousands of boulders and rocks . She heard something moving around inside the cave and asked if anyone was there . There was a answering noise from the other side of the boulders . She thought she heard a rumble as well but she wasn 't sure . " Whoever you are I am going to try and get you out of there . " This time there was no mistaking it that was a rumble followed by a loud roaring , then she heard a voice inside her head . Hello Moonbeam my name is Jade and I am a emerald dragon and your guardian . I was trapped in here thirteen years ago when Firedrake saw me enter the cave and trapped me by making boulders fall down . If you can free me I will be eternally grateful . " Ummm hello Jade how am I going to free you I can 't lift t * * * * Octorok was following Deo and he was starting to wonder why he was trusting a horse , when Deo suddenly stopped walking and decided to lie down and take a nap . Octorok looked at the horse and because he was frustrated he picked up a rock and hurled it at the frozen lake . The rock made a small hole in the ice but nothing more . Are you done throwing your temper tantrum yet ? " It wasn 't a temper tantrum , and are you done with your nap yet ? " It was to a temper tantrum and no I am not done with my nap yet , besides we need to be here right now anyways . " Really why do we need to be here right now ? " But he didn 't get an answer because the stallion was fast asleep . This is hopeless I might as well take a nap as well he said to himself . He fell asleep not knowing that he caused a major problem on the lake . Ropav had just woken up when he saw Oceana again . Hello Ropav you were right when you guessed I am indeed Oceana and the reason I am not with your friend is because he was kidnapped the night you were taken . I don 't know where he is or even if he is alive anymore . He looked at Oceana startled because normally you don 't hear wolves talking in your head and he was upset to hear about his friend 's capture . " So why are you stalking me then ? " I think I will be able to find him if I am with you , plus you are fun to watch . She laughed . " Oh great a wolf thinks I am funny . Ok miss Smarty Paws let 's see you try to follow me " He got up and started running across the frozen lake not knowing that the lake was no longer stable , he heard the ice crack beneath his feet and he felt himself falling into the cold water . As he noticed that he twisted so that he could avoid sinking , but as he did that he hit his head on the ice and slipped into unconsciousness and he started to sink under the frozen lake . Oceana saw what happened and started howling mournfully because she couldn 't help him . Octorok woke with a start he cocked his head to listen for the sound that had woke him up . There it was again a mournful sound of a wolf howling . He got up and followed the sound of the wolf howling and as turned the corner he saw a man fall into a hole in the ice . He started running towards the and as he neared the hole he leaped into the air and dove under the cold water . He could barely breathe let alone see anything but he looked for the man he was almost out of breath when he spotted the man . He dove deeper and grabbed for the man when all of a sudden he ran out of air and started slipping into unconsciousness he thought he was hallucinating when he saw a large flash of white light and in the middle of the light was a gigantic icy blue dragon whose eyes were intelligent but cold like the water . As he slipped unconscious he thought he saw the dragon swim over to the man and he thought he felt something pulling him to the surface but he wasn ' tThere was a sound of a stick breaking and as Phoenix turned towards the sound Diamond charged . He barely had time to retaliate before Diamond struck his shield . " Never let your guard down for even a second or you will be killed in battle , now let 's try this again " Diamond said to Phoenix . He grumbled " Why do we have to keep doing this I asked you to help me learn how to fight with a sword not this senseless stuff you have been teaching me . " Diamond looked at him " Well if you just think it is senseless to do this anymore then I think it 's time we kept moving forward " . He watched as Diamond sheathed his sword then he did the same . " Finally we are moving forward , we have been here for days and all we have accomplished is that Phoenix is impatient and you Diamond are stubborn . " Venus said as she got up and picked up her supplies . " Ha - ha look who 's talking MS drama queen herself " both Diamond and Phoenix said in unison . They all burst out laughing as they started leaving the woods . As soon as they stepped out of the woods though their laughter died in their throats , because directly in front of them blocking their path was a fierce emerald colored dragon . The dragon looked at them Is one of your names Diamond ? Because I have been sent to find him . " I am Diamond , who sent you to find me ? And who are you ? " My name is Jade and I am Moonbeam 's guardian she is the one who sent me to find you . Who are these other people with you ? " These are my friends Phoenix and Venus , Moonbeam 's guardian ? Why does she need a guardian ? Ahh three dragon warriors together but without guardians I wonder where they are ? Yes I am Moonbeam 's guardian . All dragon warriors need a guardian to protect them . " What not this again first this Norog tells me I am a dragon warrior and need to find the other dragon warriors . Now a dragon is telling me the same thing . I don 't want to hear it anymore and Moonbeam can go jump off a cliff for all I care . " Both Phoenix and Venus looked at Diamond shocked by what they just heard him say . Even Jade was stunned Last edited by Ropav ; 4th March 2013 at 10 : 40 PM . Moonbeam wasn 't going to wait for Jade any longer why she should when the dragon ditched her . So she headed in the direction the dragon took heading north not knowing that she was heading in the wrong direction . She headed into a meadow and saw some berry bushes and river that seemed so eerie because it was just standing still not a ripple or gentle flow of water in it . The water was as still has a rabbit trying to hide and as quiet as a silent night . Just as Moonbeam was turning to leave she heard a voice in her head . Moonbeam fierce dragon warrior I need your help . Come into the river and you will find an emerald scale retrieve the scale then return back and find the dragon champion I am counting on you and the other dragon warriors to free me . Moonbeam looked at the ominous river then back towards the woods . She knew she had to make a choice and being the adventurous type and knowing it might be a trap she walked into the foreboding river . Nothing happened at first but as she stepped deeper she heard a rumbling noise and watched as the river starting coming to life . The river became treacherous and formed a whirlpool around her then it sucked her in . All she remembered before blacking out was seeing a giant emerald dragon in a cave then she knew no more and went unconscious as the swirling waters covered her and took her away . She regained consciousness several hours later and she was dumbfounded to see she wasn 't in Leviatha anymore or at least she thought she wasn 't . For when she looked around everything looked totally different . The first thing she noticed was a huge mountain of shifting colors and at the very top was an enormous stone shape like a dragon hatching out of an egg . Besides the mountain she saw other amazing sights but no scale was in sight . The voice had told her to go into the river and she would find the scale but not that she had to search for it . She didn 't know where to start but the choice was made for her when suddenly a young lady dressed in rags came running out of the woods . The ladyThree days later . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Moonbeam groaned in pain then motivated herself to get up . When she sat up she immediately fell back down feeling very woozy . She took a moment to clear her head then she slowly raised herself from the ground . When she looked around she saw that someone had recently been here and was now gone . She wondered who it was that had been there and if they were going to come back anytime soon . She didn 't have to wait long because just then someone entered into the cave . When the person moved out of the shadows she noticed that Sunlight was the person who had entered . " I see you are finally up sleepy head , how are you feeling ? " Sunlight asked . " A little dizzy and weak but other than that I feel just fine , thanks for asking . Where are we at ? " she inquired . " We are in a cave in the middle of Gonogo Woods . I don 't know why Galtorak let us go but he must have a plan or a purpose for it . " " Wait a minute he let us go ! Why would he do that ? " " I don 't know but it worries me that he would do that when both us were in his grasp and could do nothing about escaping . I can tell he is not done with us yet . " Suddenly there was a loud rumbling and a sound of explosives going off . They looked at each other than agreed that Sunlight should go check it out . So Sunlight walked to the cave entrance and looked around then she stepped outside and immediately screamed then it became deadly silent . Moonbeam looked at the entrance and waited for Sunlight to return but she didn 't . So Moonbeam slowly got up and hopped over towards the entrance and looked out . She was completely stunned by what she saw , for she saw a gigantic lizard like creature it had armored scales like diamonds and feet like a dragon 's but bigger . Its head was as big as three full grown elephants and its teeth like razors and its breath was horrible it looked directly at her in pure hatred . The creature swayed its head from side to side then breathed flames in the air in display of pure defiance . The creature knew she was there and also knew she was * * * * While Moonbeam was following the lizard thing Sunlight regained consciousness . " Where am I ? Where did that strange creature go ? " she asked herself . She got up and looked around at her surroundings ; nothing seemed out of place so she walked towards the cave to see if Moonbeam was alright . " Moonbeam are you still in there ? " There was no answer of course but how was Sunlight supposed to know her new friend was following a giant lizard because another bigger lizard asked her to find an emerald scale . So she just assumed her friend was either asleep , dead or hiding somewhere . She walked into the cave and realized as soon as her eyes started to adjust to the darkness that no one was in here . So she exited the cave " Where could she be ? I wonder if the creature got her . I hope she is alright . " She thought of all those things and more as she followed a trail that led to the cage . Sunlight wasn 't paying attention to where she was walking and thus she walked right into one of the metal bars of the giant cage . " Oww my head , what did I just walk in to ? " She looked up and was speechless by the sheer size of the cage . When she recovered she quickly scanned the area and saw that the cage was recently occupied . So she looked at the area where the creature had escaped and quickly saw the trail that of blood it had left while it was escaping . She followed the trail which led her to a lake where she found herself rapidly sinking in quicksand with no hope of escaping . When she was chest deep in quicksand she thought see saw a giant lizard coming her way but she wasn 't sure until it got closer . It was a giant lizard the same one that had attacked her earlier that day . She just knew it was coming to finish the job , so she closed her eyes and waited for the creature to come and finish its dirty work . " GET ME OUT OF HERE YOU LAZY LIZARD " Moonbeam shouted at the lizard as she tried to jump out of the pit and failed for the thousandth time today . No I think I 'll just watch you continue to try to free yourself it is highly amusing and if you keep calling me lazy I 'll just walk away from here and leave you alone to figure out how to get out yourself . " Ok sorry can you please get me out of this pit ? " she pleaded . " I can 't believe I am begging a giant lizard to help me . " Because you said please I guess I can help you out of there grab on to my tail and I 'll pull you out . He lowered his tail into the pit and allowed her to get a good grip before pulling his tail back out of the pit . " You could have warned me first before you yanked me out like that . I almost lost my grip and would have fallen back into the pit if I didn 't grab onto one of your tail spikes . " Sorry but if I didn 't move fast you would have been dead . Look in the pit and you will see what I mean . She looked back and saw that the pit was no longer empty but it had three raptors in it . The raptors were not ordinary raptors because besides having claws they also had deadly swords . They stood about five feet eight inches tall and were glaring evilly at her . Then they did something that surprised her they got on each other 's backs and the one on top was able to get out of the pit . Her friend the giant lizard shoved it back into the pit , it stood up but it didn 't try to get back out again . " These creatures are pretty intelligent and if I didn 't have this giant lizard on my side I would have been dino food . " Stay here Moonbeam I got to go rescue your foolish friend from quicksand . He saw the look of pure terror on her face . Don 't worry they won 't attack while I am gone just stay away from the edge and you will be fine . With that said he lumbered off in the direction they had come from . " Oh great I am stuck here being watched by hungry dinos and he goes off to rescue Sunlight from quicksand , I think she has it easy compared to me . " Moonbeam sat on the ground * * * * Meanwhile Sunlight was still waiting for the lizard to finish her off but instead of eating her it picked her up and gently set her on solid ground . This greatly confused her " What aren 't you going to eat me or am I not tasty enough . " Ahh you have a sense of humor I see . No you would probably be pretty tasty but I made a promise not to eat you . Now we must get back to Moonbeam before she does something foolish . Oops too late we need to leave now before the raptors kill her . " It talks to I must be dreaming " Then Sunlight promptly fainted . Humans all alike they think the know everything and when something happens that throws them off balance they faint . So he picked her up and headed to rescue Moonbeam before she got eaten by the deadly Velcios . He lumbered towards the pit slowly and peered inside . Ahh that 's going to be a problem . What to do , what to do . While he was doing that Moonbeam was drawing her blade and raising her shield . No matter how slow she did the creatures still noticed and they in turn chattered excitedly to each other in a high pitched language , which for some weird reason Moonbeam understood . They were saying , this warrior is finally going to test us if she is able to defeat us then we will let her go , but if she fails she will be are prisoner forever . " Ahh I see you guys just want to test me not kill me in that case I accept your challenge which one of you guys will I face ? " She understands us ! Good this should make it easier and more fun . Ok you will face all three of us one at a time in three different rounds , you got to at least win two of the rounds to win the tournament , BUT if you lose to rounds you will lose the tournament and your freedom . So do you still wish to fight us ? " Yes I do , let 's get started which one of you wishes to face me first ? " I do and one more thing the three tests will be each different One will be a test of power , another test will be a test courage and the final test will be a test of wisdom . The catch is you have to figure out which test you are doing because we woLast edited by Ropav ; 31st March 2013 at 3 : 23 AM .
