Forgotten Heroes

APOLLO POV.
I stare out from Pandoras' back.
I hope the guitar got to her okay.
I remember crafting it using my DSP.
It took a week, and a lot of DSP. I did it one week when I got a really bad flu, and could barely make it to he bucket in time.
Using my DSP helped it go away, so I used as muh as possible.
I still can't believed that spell worked.
Pandora warbles, and I flick my head up.
The Shifter Mountians?
We get the order to land.
A big white wolf lopes over, and sniffs Shade.
They howl.
Then, a shocking thing happens. He leaves with the other wolf.
I feel a icey pain, and call him back.
Shade stops, and remembers he's not a regular wolf any more.
He returns, and brings the other wolf with him.
I hear a distant howl, and the female wolf bolts.
Shade looks after her with longing.
I whisper, "That was Libs' shadow. Hers must live here."
I rise ro my feet, and walk to the general.
I see him bent over a map.
I ask, "What are you doing?"
He sighs, "Young king, we're trying to find the best place to form a camp."
I ask, "Why do you call me a 'young king'?"
He looks up at me, and replies, "Becuase, you are a young king, yes?"
I nod, and reply, "But I don't want to think about it right now. Let's just stick to non formalities, and find that camp out spot. How about the mountians' peak? It's huge, and gives us a grand veiw of everything."
The general looks up at the peak, and smiles.
He nods, "Let's go rally the troops. Here, Apollo, take this and call it over the forests. Then, fly back. They will follow you."
He hands me a small spell.
Ahhh. I see.
I hop on Pandora, and try an utter the spell.
A dark balnket covers the land, and a soldier cries, "The Super Moon Eclipse!"
I growl, and turn into a huge winged Tiger Wolf hybrid.
I howl into the night, calling and chanting the spell.
OoooowwwwwwwwOwwwwowowowowowowowwww!
I see soldiers gathering, and get Pandora to bank back towards camp.
I leap from Pandora in a back flip, and spread my wings.
I flap hard, to keep up.
My dragon begs to be free, now being healed.
I let it out, and do a quick evasive spin.
Ahhh. Much better.
I flap beside Pandora.
Somebody calls, "OIB!"
I turn back into Eclipse Mode, and fly at the Oib.
It growls, holding a crystalline egg.
I snatch the egg, and try to identify its' parents.
I fly it up, using dragon strength.
I hand it to Pandora, who begins to order me around.
Pandora, really?
She commands me and the other dragons around while protecting the egg with her talloned paws and her wings.
She finally seems satisfied with her nest, and settles down with the egg.
Why is my dragon the only female?
Pandora grunts.
I shake my head, and pull out my sword.
I get an idea, and begin to make another guitar.
It won't be done for a few days, but it'll be worth the drain.
I form the skeleton, and craft the strings.
I get a rhythm, and just let the power flow.
I stand up, which allows better power flow.
I think of making a perfect guitar.
It forms around the skeleton, and the rest falls into place.
I sit down in exhaustion.
Pandora laughs, "You realize your still a wolf, right? You can't play that."
I realize my blunder, and sigh.
Should've made a paino. Could've at least played it.
I suddenly raise my head to the wind, and howl.
Shade is in total control, with Syo his right hand man.
I shake my coat, and begin to sniff the campus.
The general looks concerned, but soon remembers the curse.
If only I could break my curse!
The mage next to me asks, "How'd you do that?"
I reply, sad, "Something cheesy about true loves promise. It's been gettin worse too. Soon, I'm afraid I'll be stuck like this. And I need to do is to get my OTP to keep her fricken promises!"
The mage shakes his head, and comforts, "If it makes you feel any better, all of us mages can relate... but our life isn't on our line. Just our pride..."
A black dragon bursts out laughing.
It rolls around, smoke plumming from its' nostrils.
I see the mage focus, and it stops and growls at the mage.
I ask, "Your dragon?"
He nods, and introduces, "Taklom, what's yours?"
Crud.
I extend my paw, and my forms flicker.
The mage seems unphased, and shakes my hand.
I introduce, "I'm Apollo, and my dragon is Pandora. She's protecting that egg. Thankfully her mate can't get here. He'd rip us into ribbons and then eat me."
The mage asks, "Why?"
I sigh, "He doesn't like Shapeshifters near his mate when she's on eggs."
The mage shrugs, and we fall into silence.
I stride off, wishing I could be human again.
Then, I face plant.
Ow.
I stand up, the air around me shimmering.
What's going on?
Pandora roars, "RUN APOLLO!"
The entire camp snaps to attention.
I take off, bein human again.
What's going on?
I run far and fast.
I hear a crashing, and see a red ball hurdling at me.
I hit the ground, and it begins to shake.
Stupid mages.
I use and air whip to get in the air, and flap my wings.
I get hit with a fire ball, and my wings pull in.
I see he mountian side coming on quick, and craft a snowboard of ice.
I crouch low, and ride it down the mountian side.
I use air whips to jump over rocks, and a speed whip to loose my persuers.
I see a huge drop off, and flare my wings.
I stop as the ice board launches into oblivion.
That was close.
I land, and the shimmering resumes.
The snow of my past returns, and swirls around me in a flurry of black.
