Like I said before my name is Coal. Where I come from, we don't bother in last names. I am what they call Prince of the Volcano. I am 1 of the most powerful beings in all of Pyro. Pyro is the country in which I live. There are 3 leaders of Pyro. we are called either princes or princesses. No, we are not royalty, it is just the highest honor 1 warrior can achieve. And trust me, princess is it almost all the time are way stronger than princes.

Which brings me to my next point. The three areas of Pyro are the Volcano, The Ash, and The Fire. The largest is the Fire. That is ruled by my good friend Amber, who I was on my way to see. And of course, I was going in style.

Now, some say they don't exist, but they do. I was riding the largest, most dangerous creature that ha!s ever been seen. He is feared across the land. One swipe of his gigantic claws and your dead! Of course, I am talking about my dragon, Eric. Yes, I know stupid name, but he stands by it proud. I know this because I have a telepathic connection with him. It's not something that can be explained easily. It's like, he talks to me in my head. I'm the only one that can hear him.

So, anyway, I was heading to the volcano that Amber lived on. She is about 16 years old. Well, she is actually 127 years old. But, we age extremely slowly. I am about 302 which equals 21. So when I get there, I see the love of my life. Well, secret love of my life.

Her name is Ashley. She is the leader of The Ash and the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Her hair is an amazing shade of grey. No, she's not old, it is a genetic thing. All the people of the Ash have grey hair, no matter the age. Anyway, I've always liked her. Sometimes I can barely talk when I'm around her." Dude you should talk to her while you wait" said Eric.

After he scared the crap out of me, I decided he was right. So we went into our signature move. Eric started to dive. In a full dive, can reach about 180 miles an hour. Then, we start to spin. Kinda like a corkscrew. Plummeting towards the ground might be terrifying to some, but I find it exciting. We were about 50 feet from the ground when I jumped off Eric. Eric has horns on his head so he just kept going and drilled through the ground. "Bye Eric. See ya at home!" I screamed down the hole.

I turned around to see a gorgeous pair of grey eyes staring at me. "Hi" Ashley said with a voice like honey. I tried to say "Hey what's up" but it came out "Uh". I considered it a success because it made her laugh.

Just then a huge explosion engulfed the side of the volcano. Instantly Ashley and I were in battle possess. She had her dagger drawn. I had my own weapon of choice. My scythe. It is an ancient weapon that my ancestors used when they went into battle. It also has a few little attachments. For example, it weighs a couple tons. Yes you read that right, TONS! But I am crazy strong so to me it weighs next to nothing. So, anyway, it seemed that something went flying out of the ball of fire. Apparently, Ashley saw something that I didn't. She used one of her special abilities and turned herself into a cloud of ash. I'm always amazed at what she can do. She engulfed the object and carefully set it down on the ground. After she returned to her natural form, I saw what it was. Well more like who it was. I was wondering when Amber would show up. She was covered in dust and looked shocked. "WOW! That was awesome!" she exclaimed. "What did you do" I asked. "Well, I tried to shoot a fireball and it kinda exploded in my face." Ashley asked with great concern,"Are you okay?" Amber replied"My face is kinda numb, but other than that, yes." Ashley and I looked at each other and couldn't hold it in. We burst out laughing so hard, we had tears in our eyes. After our laugh fest, we had to get down to business. "Hey Amber," I said." I want to fight you." Both girls looked at me with shock. Then Amber looked at me with a devilish smile. "Let's do it" she snickered.

We took our battle possess. She had a unique weapon to saw the least. She pit her hand over an empty sword hilt. Then a flame shot out of it, taking form of a sword. It is a menacing looking weapon that I didn't want to get hit with. I had my scythe drawn and we were ready to go.

She decided to make the first move. All I can say is that she is pretty light on her feet. In less than a second, she was on me. I deflected her sword, but it was fruitless because she shouldered my stomach and I went down hard. But, this is what I wanted to happen. I spun on the ground and tripped her. I felt bad because she kinda fell on her face. But there is no room for guilt in the heat of battle. The finally move had used. I stuck my scythe at her throat and I won. Being the gentleman I am, I helped her up. "Your a great fighter." I complemented. Just at that moment, a guard ran up to us. " My Lords, we are being attacked!" "Wait, wait, wait, what" asked Amber. " Yes, they arrived just 5 minutes ago and I decided it was best to come get the best fighters in the land." " Well, you made the right choice soldier." I assured him. " Let's go."
