The past and the darkness

~~With Igneel and Metalicana~~

With a swift strike to the head, Igneel decapitated another monster that had tried to take a bite out of his arm, instantly turning the creature to ash. With a sigh, he extinguished the flames that surrounded his hand and started to stretch while letting out a sigh of relief as his muscles relaxed. As he did this Igneel watched as Metalicana sent a roar full of iron towards another monster that lunged at them.

If Igneel wanted to be honest with himself he would have to say that he was starting to get bored with these little nuisances that were cowering in the shadows. At first, it was amusing but after taking down a couple of the creatures that jumped at them it was started to lose its amusement. The Dragon was brought out of his thoughts when he saw out of the corner of his eye. what looked like to be a huge dog coming towards him. Without really looking Igneel jumped out of the way landing a few feet away from the spot where the dog had pounced. 

When he landed Igneel didn't give the dog a chance to do anything else taking a deep breath of air that caused he cheeks to grow as he chanted" FIRE DRAGON ROAR!!!!!!" a stream of flames came forth from his mouth incinerating the dog and everything beyond it to ash.  

As Metalicana was finishing off another one of the monsters, he felt the scorching heat coming from behind him. When he turned around to see what was going on, only to be faced with a jet of molting hot flames! Letting out a small yell as Metalicana dove towards the bushes barely missing the onslaught of flames coming his way.

 The Iron Dragon poked his head out of the bush, turning his head where the flames had missed him and saw ashes where part of the forest should have been. Turning back around  Metalicana stared blankly at Igneel who was currently wiping the corner of his mouth off grinning like an idiot.

 With a low growl, Metalicana climbed out of his hiding spot, brushing off the small branches that covered his coat as he stalked towards the scarlet-haired male. As he made his way towards  Igneel, Metalicana couldn't help but be relieved that the fire spitter was gaining his strength back. But that still didn't mean that he was going to let it go about the fact of almost being turned into barbeque.

Just as Metalicana was about to voice out a complaint he saw an orb of green light coming their way. When the orb stopped in front of the two males who went silent as they heard Grandines voice come from the glittering ball of light" Sorry to disturb you guy's fun, but I need some assistance, I found the young ones. They seem to be alright but it also seems that this forest is starting to have some effect on them. So start moving your lazy butts and get over here!" with that said the ball of light disappeared in a cloud of sparkly dust.

The two males stood there with pale faces after hearing the silent threat that came from the females voice. With not wanting to face the Sky Dragons wrath, the two Males swiftly made their way through the forest leaving a trail of dust behind them.

When they got to the clearing the two males made their way through the old village. As they walked through the abandon streets Metalicana noticed that most of the building had been burnt down or had crumbled from old age. He only saw a few building that stood tall but even those looked like that they were about to fall apart at the slightest touch.

They didn't need to worry about finding the others because when they had entered the ghost town there was a faint scent of lilacs mixed with honey that traveled in one direction through the village. Metalicana couldn't help a small smile come to his lips at the scent, it reminded him of when he had found his little annoying ward.

~~ FlashBack~~

 At the time he was just laying around in a clearing out in the far country, soaking up the sun minding his own business when he heard the sound of something running towards his direction. The first thing that came to his mind was, that it was some pompous knight that got it into that pea-sized brain of his. That it was a clever idea to slay a dragon. He never really get the idea of why someone would bother trying. They knew that he and his kin were something to be feared, and be left alone in peace.
