The Color Of Fate

Chapter 2

"There was a legend amongst dragons. Of a dragon black as the night sky without a moon or stars. The power held within this dragon was enough to destroy the world three times over. Throughout the era's this dragon's inner hatred of humans intensified until the dragon no longer had control of its body. The other dragons fought day and night to save their dear friend, but the darkness had complete control. It destroyed everything in its path, mercilessly killing any moving thing it saw. Finally the other dragons had came together to finish off the black dragon. They came close to killing it until a young boy stepped in the way. 'You can't destroy him!' The boy yelled at the dragons, 'There has to be good in his heart somewhere!' The other dragons wanted to kill the other dragon badly, but their ways prevented them from hurting the boy. The black dragon was furious at the boy and raised its massive claws to finish him off, but before he could, the boy turned around and looked the dragon in the eyes saying, 'I know you're in there. You don't have to let the darkness consume you.' The dragon came within inches of killing the boy when he froze, falling to the ground in exhaustion. The boy looked at the dragon and walked over to him, fearlessly, looking deep in the dragons eyes he said, 'Seal yourself within me and i'll keep you from the darkness.' The dragon wanted to tell him no, but he trusted the young boy to keep the darkness from the world, so in the end he sealed himself inside of the young boy and neither of them have been seen since then." I finished the story, looking over at Yona.

"Is it true Kija?" She asked. The other dragons and I nodded. "Then I want to meet this boy."

-In a village nearby-

"Rin! Hurry up or we'll get caught!!!" One of my two best friends, Kiro yelled at me from the roof. A guard yelled our way. "Run!"

I turned and jumped up onto the roof quickly, following after him. I could hear the stomping sounds of the gurads behind us, running as quickly as they could.

"Shika! Play 4!" I yelled. My other best friend, Shika, showed up from another roof, taking my spot behind Kiro while I hopped to the ground, turning around an alley.

I could hear one of the guards yell, "Don't let any of them out of your site! Split up! We'll rendevous back at the town center to make examples of these young criminals!"

Young crinimals huh? Sounds good to me. I jumped up into a window around a corner and waited for the guard to run by. Then I jumped behind him, "Looking for me?" I asked innocently. He turned around furious, then drew his sword, holding it in front of him.

I ran at him, jumping on the sword, looking in his eyes and sticking my tongue out. Then I jumped off, running around the corner. I was looking back at the furious guard and not where I was going so I accidentally ran into someone. The person grabbed my shoulders and looked down at me.

I looked up and my eyes immediately widened. Two guys stood there, one with blue hair and a mask, and one with green hair. "Well now, what do we have here?"

"RIN!" The guard yelled. He must have heard Shika yell my name. That or he's a creepy stalker. Wait...I looked into the eyes of the green-haired man. He was a dragon...They both were...

"Pardon me, but I have to go now!" I jumped back then onto the roof next to us.

"Where's the boy?"

The green haired man spoke again, "Boy? I didn't see any boy come this way. Did you Shin-ah?"

The other shook his head no and the guard yelled in frustration. "If you see him, don't let him run away. He's a wanted man."

"Didn't you say he was a kid?"

The guard paused. "Well... Yes he is... But with the trouble him and his friends cause this town, when we catch them, they'll be tried as adults and made into an example. No one makes a mockery of us."

I looked over the roof, watching the conversation curiously. Shika and Kiro jumped on the roof next to me and watched as well. I noticed the blue haired one rubbed his left ear. A squirrel jumped onto his shoulders and squeaked loudly. Then a few more people walked into the alley behind them. Two noticed the presence and looked up. It was the white and yellow dragons. The white dragons eyes widened as he watched me. The guards gaze also went to us.

"You fiends!! Get over here!" The guard looked into the alley, "Ayato! Get them!"
