Prophecy of the Dead Dragon and the Future and Past Dragon Riders
The Future Dragon Rider
Today seemed like every day,as Shaylin sat in the tree in the back of her feild.She looked around 14,for how tall she was,
but she was only 13 1/2.It was August 23rd,and her birthday was on January 12.Her hair was long and red,unaturaly red.It was a pure red color,
it shined wonderfuly with it's firey like color cause she had natural blonde highlights.Her eyes were blood red,like her hair.When she had gone into
towns people often stared at her,but she avoided going into cities.Even her hair red and such,she loved to wear blue cloths.She wore a blue t-shirt
with a dragon winding it's way to each of her shoulders,it was her favourite shirt.She also wore dark blue jeans,she often wore jeans cause if she
wore other cloths in the area she lived in they often got ruined.She lived in the country,the feilds stretching far.Even living in such an area,her family
were not farmers.They had moved a few years ago from the foresty area to here.Sometimes she wanted to move back,but she did like the area.Her
house was by a giant creek that they owned,it stretched along side a farmers feild.My family didn't often get along with the farmers,we got into fights
often.Well,in the back of the feild is a huge tree,most likely hundreds of years old.In my whole yard,actualy whole world,it was my favourite.It's tall
branches reaching out to the sky,standing tall and proudly.It held many of my memories,my home used to belong to one of my freinds.His name was
Todd,he was really nice.I miss him,he moved far away so I don't get to see him often.At the tree is a swing and it's lots of fun,and i put a latter on
tree so i could climb up to it's branchs and relax there.I loved it,the cool breeze and the trees branchs providing a wonderful shade for me.I loved
my home,and everything about it.There was just one problem,my family.My father was always bothering me to help work around the house,i just
wanted to chill,but no i have to do something.My brother is a royal pain,and my mother was practicly the only one who listened to me.She's nice
and helps me out.One day everything would change,and I didn't expect it at all."Are you going to the tree again Shaylin?"asked my mother,I was
sorta surprised cause I was zoned out,looking out the window."What?did you say something?"I replied.She shook her head,said iratated,"You've
always got your head in the clouds,wouldn't be surprised if you got some inside your head."I zoned out again,then I went outside to the tree.Clouds
began to come when I got to the tree,it was just sunny out and clear skies,what could be going on...I saw lightning in the clouds,I began to run,knowing
it was dangerous to be out by trees when storms were coming,I heard giant boom and from the corner of my eye I saw a flash coming from behind me.
I turned around,to see the tree split in half by the lightning.I couldn't beleive it,my most favourite tree,that I was just saw not even five minutes ago
completely fine split in half.....I colasped,almost like I had just lost a freind.I was going to miss it,when I first moved here I couldn't find a place that
I could stay without being bothered,then I remembered where I used to swing with my freind that lived here before me,and i found it.Now it was gone,
forever.A tear ran down my cheek,I didn't even notice I was crying.The rain began to poor,and i was drenched.It almost seemed as nature felt the
pain of the tree and began to cry.Knowing it was okay that it was raining and the tree wouldn't be hot or on fire,I sat in the middle between the two
split sides.I closed my eyes,I set my head on my knees and wrapped my arms around my head and began to cry.Somehow,I wished I could turn back
time and see the tree again,living whole and tall.I noticed,beside me,something colored like garnet.It was practicly covered completely in the mud that I
almost didn't see it.I moved the mud away,and held the round polished stone.It was perfectly the size of my palm,I looked at it with amazement.To me
this somehow felt like a fairytale,someone would lose something dear to them and find something that would start a journey.I closed my eyes again,
and held the stone tightly.I began to cry again,and then one of my tears fell on the stone and something weird happened.I opened my eyes,to find
myself siting on the bare dry ground,no tree remains,everything looked different.I looked over to where my hoose would be,nothing was there.What
was going on....I thought to myself"Where am I,why am I here.."I looked at my hand,the stone was gone,and on the center of my palm was a garnet
colored circle,and in gowged into my skin was something shaped like a dragon.My hand bled,it hurt...Many questions ran through my mind"Where am I
,why am I here,and how did this dragon shaped wound get onto my hand."I ripped the bottom of my shirt to get some material to bandage my hand and
I stood.I noticed a white metal whistle sitting at the bottom of my feet.I liked whistles,and the sounds.I whiped off the top incase someone else had
used it,I thought,"What do I have to lose,i'm stuck in the middle of nowhere,nothing."I used my bandaged hand,held the whistle,put it up to my lips and blew into it.It made a wonderful high pitched tone,I liked it.Something weird began to happen.The ground shook under my feet,and began to lift.I
jumped off from the rising earth,stood watching.Something dark red colored,like garnet,rised out from the mound of dirt.I couldn't beleive my eyes,
it was a dragon.It looked around,for who had woken it from it's sleep.Then it turned it's head to me,and glared.I began to run,but with the dragons
tail it triped me.It wrapped it's tail around me like a snake,and lifted me up to it's head,looking at me.My bandage had fallen off,I started hiting the
dragon with my hands,trying to make it let go.With my wounded hand,I had hit it.It left a smudged like bloody mark on the dragon's tail.Then the
dragon put me down.I was confused,completely.What was going on....and inside my mind,something spoke."What are you doing here.."Okay now this
was going too far,now I had voices in my head.I thought,"What the..."The voice spoke inside my head again,"What are you doing here?How many
times am I going to have to ask."The dragon,still looking at me.Maybe it was the dragon talking to me..then I replied,in my mind,"I don't know,who am I
speaking to?"The dragon rolled it's eyes,than said again inside my mind,"Well,there's noone else here.Dragons aren't mindless idiots."It was alot
more clearer,the dragon was talking to me.The dragon spoke again,"What are you doing here?"I thought about it,the truth was I didn't know...maybe
it had to do with the stone I found,but I probably wouldn't be able to go back because it had been absorbed into my hand.The dragon had read my
thoughts,knowing it was pointless to go farther in asking me questions.I colasped,not feeling well.I had a pain in my stomach,and I felt cold and
shivering.Eventualy I had passed out,tired,and I hoped when I woke up everything would be normal.
Meanwhile...
The Past Dragon Rider
Kai was in his normal torn,dirty,patched peasants cloths,working out in the feild.He tried moving his silver hair from his face.It was too warm for him
to stand,and he was forced to go and work out in the feilds.His eyes a wonderful skyblue,and he had silver hair.He glared at the passing by knight,
knights went around the land making sure the peasants were working.When the knight was gone,he went over to the creek by the feild to get some
water.He washed off his face,and drank some water.He looked at his reflection,he wished he could do something more than be a peasant working in
the feilds all the time.He looked around 14,but he was only 13 and a half.He went into his house,grabbed his flute and went into the far back of the
feild in a bushy area.Not many people wandered out that far back,there was odd rumours about it.He didn't beleive it,they talked about a prophecy,
it was about a young boy from the past and a girl from the future would meet in another time and become dragon riders,and the boy of the past
would play a certain song that would awaken a dragon.They might have banned all music playing in the area he lived in,but he didn't care.He didn't
beleive in any stupid prophecy,if he was involved in it his fate wasn't going to be decided by some old fortune teller.He closed his eyes,trying to
remember something.It was a song his mother sang him when he was little,and she had sung it to him before she died.He wanted to play it on his flute,
some how the song seemed important to him.Something shined in the corner of his eye,he looked behind him to see a white clear stone.He wondered
if he should beleive it or not,but it looked like a blue diamond.It was the size of his palm,it sat perfectly in his hand.His flute was small,home made
so he could play it with one hand.He still held onto the stone,and played the song as each peice came into his mind.As he began a wind sorta swirled
around him,but he didn't care,he wanted to play the whole song.When he finished,something felt wrong.He opened his eyes,to see he was out in the
middle of nowhere,and no bushs surronded him.He felt a big pain in his hand,a dragon shaped wound was in it and a white circle was on his hand
where the polished diamond sat.It hurt alot,he pulled out a rag from his pocket he used for a handkercheif and wrapped it around his hand.He
looked around,hoping to find something familiar,but he still sat where he was.Then something began to move under him,some lose dirt moved away to
reveal something white and scaley,he shouted in fear,something bad was happening and he was sure he wasn't going to enjoy it.It forced itself up,
knocking him off it's back.It spread it's wing,shaking the dirt off of it.It was a beautiful white dragon,it must have been there for a long time,it
stretched up it's neck and made made a yawn like roar,opening up it's trap like jaws.He had seen only a few dragons,but they were usualy a brownish
and green color.It had it's back to him,then it turned around,looking at him with it's blue eyes so similar to his.It seemed calm and peaceful,so he
thought it would be fine and reach out and touch it.It had backed away a bit as he aproached,but it didn't seem to afraid cause if it was it probably
fly away or slash him with it's talons.He hoped it wouldn't do either.He reached out,touched it on it's shoulder,he had used his left arm that had the
dragon shaped wound on his palm.He removed his hand after a moment off it's shoulder,noticing he had left a a bloody shaped dragon on it's
shoulder.He looked down at his left hand,noticing it had bled through the rags.
Something spoke to him,inside of his head,he found it odd at first,
but not too bad,there had been stories of dragons speaking to humans telepathicly,
"So you've finaly come."What was it talking about,but it did seem
that I had definitly came from somewhere cause I definitly wasn't home anymore.
The dragon spoke to him telepathicly again,"Your late,we must go
meet the Past Dragon Rider,come."It lowered it's neck,he climbed up onto it's back,was slightly shocked by the sudden beat of wings lifting them off
the ground,he wrapped his arms around the dragon's neck,strugling to hold on and the fear of falling.He struggled to open his eyes and look into the
distance in hope to see their destination.Up ahead,he saw a faint shine of dark red,
like garnet,and he knew they must be flying towards it.A strong pain rose in his
stomach,and he shivered,before they reached their destination he had fainted,
wondering what things he would find when he woke up.
Meanwhile,far away,in a dark castle that dark clouds loomed around,and not even crows dared to fly near...
The Shikon were planning,rushing around the castle,they were all in black cloaks,and there was a different kind of demented creature under each of the black cloaks.At
the top of the castle,in the talest tower,was the thrown room of the one who lead
the Shikon,Tensei.Tensei sat in his thrown,taping impatiently for a report on
the dragons Naiya and Ketsueki.He was the reincarnation of Shouten,the dark
dragon that threatened to world of enternal darkness.His eyes were a dark gray
that had slits,and his hair was pitch black as the cloths he wore.He was feared by all,even
by the Shikon who were working for him,the followers of Shouten.There was a prophecy,
that told of two would be sacraficed to bring back Shouten.There was another part,he
would sacrafice himself and give his soul to Shouten so then he could use it,but since
he is the very soul of Shouten,he would still have control,and become the great
powerful Shouten and throw the world into pure darkness with one wave of his powerful
black flames.He grinned at the idea,but yet he was becoming impatient.The two dragons
that were supposed to be sacrificed still hadn't woke up yet.They had gone into hiding,
many years ago before Shouten was even born,positioned themselves so they would be
there when the Past and Future Dragon Riders came and awaken them from there
dormancy.Unfortunately,no one knew where the dragon's locations were,so they
were going to have to wait until they arose from the earth.He would have searched for them,
but they were buried,since the earth envoloped them in time as it changed.He waited for
his slave,Morton,to come and give him a report.They had the ability to scry,which allowed
them to spy on whoever they desired,including the dragons,for they knew what they
looked like,but it would only show the dragons,not their surrondings.If the dragon
wasn't lieing motionless,and eyes closed,and it was awake and flying or hunting something,
they would know it was awake and out for them to find.Morton came into the tower,
and lowered his hood.He was and elf,but he seem mutated.His skin lost it's color,his
silver hair a black like red,and his face was gray and colorless,and he was quiet
guant,he looked practicly like skin and bones.He looked up at Morton,with his
yellow eyes underlined with dark bangs under them,bowed,and said,proudly,
"We have wonderful news,we scried on Ketsueki earlier,and he was awake,
and then we scryed on Naiya and she was awake also."Tensei grinned,
it felt as if there was a monster bound by chains was inside of him,was
given a great jolt of excitement and broke free of the chains and began to search
for it's prey.He knew he couldn't go out after the dragons,he would have to wait
until Shouten was brought to life,cause if he got killed it would be all over.
He would need somebody to bring the dragons to him,and he knew who
would be perfect for the job,"Morton"Morton had been looking around the
throne room,finding something to waste time as he waited to be
sent away,answered,"Yes?""Go send out the Akuma to search for the dragons,
and I want daily reports about their progress telepathicly from them.I want
to know everthing that's going on."Morton looked surprised by his
decision,the Akuma were blood thirsty demons that assumned a human
form,and they were quite intelligent,he answered"Yes,I shall I send them now?"
Tensei looked at him,almost as if he was an idiot for asking,he said,slight
annoyance in his tone,"Yes Morton,go."Morton hurried out of the room,Tensei
could hear his boots tapping on the stairs as he wen to send out the Akuma.
Tensei walked to a window,looked out,wondering what greatness and horrid
lied before him in the future.

Naiyi and Ketsueki layed by Shaylin and Kai by a fire.It was night,the stars filled the skies shining
brightly.Shaylin woke up at the same time,looked shocked when they saw eachother,because
of their odd eye color and hair,and the cloths they wore.
