As a young girl walked down the dark road that lead into the forest she had no idea where her life would lead now. Her parents were just killed by a dark guild and she was the sole survivor, her older brother and sisters tried to help her but they too perished. Her dirty hair and face hid her beauty. Soft flowing white hair and crystal blue eyes, she wore a white dress which was now covered in mud and specks of blood. She walked along dragging her feet because exhaustion was going to soon claim her, but something made her wake in an instant.
A Roar.
Her curiosity was always something her parents feared would get the girl into trouble, and more often than not that was the case. She ran down the forest floor and the fatigue was causing her to stumble and trip, but she needed to know what the sound was. She turned around a corner to come face to face with the stuff of nightmares. A Black and Blue Dragon. The young girl looked up at the dragon and did not run away, this surprised the dragon because most who saw him would run away from him. The dragon looked at the child and then caught her in his large scaly hand when she collapsed from exhaustion.
-? POV:
I woke up and rubbed my eyes, I was lying under something warm and this offered me some comfort. I decided to go back to sleep when someone spoke to me.
"I see you have woken up." The voice said.
"Yes, who are you? Actually where are you?" I asked looking around.
I looked around and saw that I was in a large cave filled with crystals, there was a small waterfall not too far from where I'm lying and under the waterfall is a pond. I look next to me and see a small fire that is keeping me warm, I keep looking but I don't notice anyone in here with me.
"Thank you for bringing me here whoever you are, but why cant I see you. I wont be scared if that's what your worried about, I'm a big girl see!" I say flexing my arms.
"I can see that, very well but this will be me in my human form because I still don't want you to see my true form." The voice says and then appears from the shadows.
A tall muscular man walks out and just stares at me, I look at him and he makes me smile. He has thick black hair with pale blue here and there, he is wearing a black and white vest and long black jeans with a silver chain hanging on his hip.
"There see I'm not a bit scared." I say smiling at him.
He smiles at me and you can see that he has straight white teeth and deep blue eyes.
"Well then why don't you tell me your name kid? And what were you doing all alone in the forest, and after you've told me I'll take you home." He says sitting down next to me, his voice is firm but there is a hint of softness to it.
"Um well my name is Luna, I dont remember my last name. I was in the forest by my self because my family was killed by a dark guild." I say and tears fall down my cheeks.
"Uh, dont cry kid! People die. It happenes but dont worry you can stay with my if there is no one to take care of ya." The man says and pulls me into his arms.
"Thanks." I say sniffing. "What's your name?" I ask him wiping my eyes.
"Why dont you just call me dad, and when your older I'll tell you my name." He says wiping the last tear from my eye.
"Really, I can call you dad? Also what is your real form?" I ask my curiosity gettng the better of me again.
He sighs and then picks me up in his arms, he carry's me down the cliff face and then places me onto the grass. He walks to the centre of the feild and then looks at me.
"This is who I really am." He says and then turns into the dragon I saw.
"You look beautiful." I say walking over to him.
"Thank you Luna, why dont I teach you dragon slayer magic? Its a magic used by a couple of different people, they are training with their parents who are dragons like me. Would you like that Luna?" He asks me lowering his large head to me.
"Yeah!" I say and hug his head as best I can with my small arms. "What will my last name be dad? I want it to be something like you."
"Hmmm." He says thinking. "How about Luna Nightwing. Perfect name for the Apocalypse dragon slayer." He openes his great hand wide and I climb onto it.
He carries me into the air and we fly around our little forest home, its such an exiting feeling being this high in the sky. I take in deep breaths of the fresh air and then shout at the top of my lungs.
"I'm Luna Nightwing!"
Dad roars loudly and we then fly back to our cave, he carries me back up the cliff and then takes me to the small pond in our cave.
"Lets give you a bath and then time for dinner, how does wild chicken sound?" He asks me pulling my dirty dress off.
"Sounds good Daddy, will you wash my dress for me too?" I ask him as he places me into the water, I thought it would be cold but its like a hot spring.
"Yeah I'll wash it but then we'll get you a new one, what colour do you want? Also we could get you some books, you need to learn to read at your age." He says scrubbing my hair. "And a hair brush, you'll have to make do with my hand for today ok little Luna?" He asks smiling.
"Yeah thats fine, Daddy. Will I ever see my other family again?" I ask.
"I'm sure you will." He says picking me from the water, he takes off his jacket and dry's my body with it. "Tomorrow we'll buy you some new things, I'm not always in this form so it will take time getting used to. But for now lets go and eat."
He puts me dress on me and then we walk over to the fire, where a delicious smell greets us.We sit down and eat some roast chicken thats been cooked over the fire slowly all day, the meat falls off the bone and the juice drips down my face. Dad laughs at me and then wipes my face, he then picks up the scraps and throws them away over the cliff. He picks me up and carries me over to where I first woke up, its a fur bed with a white sheet and lots of pillows. He lies me down and then pulls some fur pelts over me to keep me warm.
"Good night Luna, I have to say I think you'll change my life for the better." He says and strokes my white hair. "Maybe as you get older you'll bring out the light inside of me."
"Good night Daddy, I hope you never leave me." I say and close my eyes as I feel his strong arms wrap themselves around my body adding another layer of warmth.
