The Hybrid

Destiny

Here's a better pic of Mystical

Shadow watched from the corner as nurses worked on Mystical. He only told them that she had gotten a headache and passed out. He remembered quite clearly what happened afterwards. He had put Mystical on his back who was completely white. He ran through the halls. His wings were making sure that she wouldn't fall off. Minds were whirrling and dragonets moved out of the way as the nightwing ran down the hall. Sandstorm saw him pass with Mystical on his back. He ran after Shadow with Muddle and Firesky right behind him. They reached the infirmary and the nurses dropped everything they were doing. Shadow saw her future. He knew that if she wasn't saved now, then she wasn't coming back at all. He knew this would happen so he tried to avoid it. But no one can escape their destiny. He sat by the cave she was in. Sandstorm was pacing and Muddle and Firesky were quietly watching. Then they heard roaring.

"Where's is she!" A female dragon roared. Sandstorm stopped pacing. The roaring grew louder. So did the talon steps. Two dragons ran into the cave area made into a waiting room. It was Queen Glory and King Deathbringer. Queen Glory was furious. "Where's my daughter!?" She yelled again. She turned to Sandstorm, Muddle, and Firesky. King Deathbringer immediately stood in front of them.

"Glory don't. She's fine. Don't take it out on these kids." Deathbringer said, trying to calm her down. The three looked frightened of the angered rainwing. "You three. Go back to class." The three dragonets left without a word. Shadowfrost stood, silent. He knew why she was here. It wasn't just because Mystical was hurt. He had a job.

Glory whipped her head around and growled.

"You were supposed TO PROTECT HER!!" She seethed. Shadow backed up.

"Look your majesty-" He tried to explain.

"No! You had one job! You were supposed to protect my daughter." That's when Shadowfrost snapped.

"I did protect her! This was something else. It wasn't my fault she just collapsed!" He said the next part quietly. "She spoke a prophecy. I didn't. This means that she spoke to direct future. Only a few can get that gift. But it was to much for her." Everyone went silent. Then a rainwing nurse walked in.

She bowed to the king and queen before speaking, "Princess Mystical will be just fine. Thanks to Shadowfrost here we were able to treat her head injuries." She smiled and walked back into her cave. Glory sighed. Mystical walked out, surprised to see her parents but angry next.

"You sent him here!?" She growled at her mother. "You thought I couldn't protect myself!? After years of venom training and dad teaching me everything he learned from being an assassin you still don't think I can protect myself!?" She then ripped the lilac crown her mother gave her. Searching through the flowers she saw a paper. More like a used paper.

Opening it up she saw words.

Protect Princess Mystical from harm.
No physical pain can come to her.

She realized the handwriting. It was Shadowfrost' s. He didn't want her to just tell anyone his secret. He knew she would go to her parents. Meaning she would break his cover. He would get punished. Just like everyone else. Her parents were the only ones who knew of his powers.

They lied. They knew. He tried. He failed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mystical watched him get taken away. He didn't fight it. He knew this would happen. From the start Shadow knew his destiny. But the prophecy changed that. Now he was headed back to the forest, where he was sure to get punished. Her mother left, telling her that another would be sent to protect her.

But she needed Shadow. For he was part of the prophecy.

A/N What do you think should happen next?
