The Flaming Emissary

Chapter 14

A/N: Yes, I drew this. It was a pain in the aft to color and blend, especially the flames. I  didn't like how they came out, but enough about my problems...onto the story you've been waiting for.

------Previously on The Flaming Emissary------

Water dripped to the floor, for Commander Vigor was streaming tears of releif down his helm.

'My strong Reiscorn, I prayed to Primus for your recovery and my requests have been answered at last. Oh my dear Reiscorn, I-I am grateful indeed. I am so very sorry....y-you had to witness death and grief so early at your age, especially of your loved ones. I am so sorry I wasn't there for you and your brother, I am sorry I wasn't there to protect your carrier when you needed it. I am so sorry.'

Vigor's tears gushed out as he weeped, regret clouding his processor. He cried out a saddened roar, announcing all who hear it his pain of his lost loved ones. Many howls, clicks and calls echoed in return responding to his remorse carrying the message to the edges of the large settlement.

All cried out in honor for the loss of Trailfire; the loved conjunx of Commander Vigor of Crystal City.

Reiscorn woke up from his small coma, his optics slowly blinked open. He tried to get up but a servo stopped over his helm, the servo gently lowered Reiscorn back down.

"You aren't ready to walk on your own just yet young one, not until I've run some tests over you." spoke Jhiazix, his servo leaving Reiscorn's form. Jhiazix ran his tests a few times asking some questions on his take of the feeling, he repeated them one last time. 

"Alright, you're all set. I have orders from Commander Vigor that after you have woken up that you meet him in the training grounds immediately."

Reiscorn shyly nodded and headed out of the room, along the way he had to ask passing guards directions to the training grounds. As he treads over there he passes more guards, as he does they bow instinctively as he walks passes them with Reiscorn a bit confused but kept onward.

Reiscorn arrived to the training grounds as the guard directed him, as he entered he only sees his brother fighting a stranger. Reiscorn immediately, on instinct, goes to his aid. The ground beneath his claws was sand, it shifted under him as he launches at the unknown predacon and clamps his jaws on the throat of the stranger. The stranger reacts struggling to get free, Reiscorn clawing and gripping to hold on as he's being tossed around by the stranger.

Dragotron witnessed this is in aw once again at the strong will his older sibling had. Reiscorn was finally tossed off but managed to land unharmed on his feet, they circled and snarled at one another. Reiscorn launched again but was swatted to the side, giving the stranger an opening to get to Dragotron. Reiscorn seeing this quickly gets up to see that the stranger was above Dragotron about to strike him with it's large sharpened claws.

Reiscorn was terrified, in instinct he blew massive flames toward the predacon pushing it back and away from Dragotron. Reiscorn kept at it, his flames growing larger and hotter as he inched closer and closer to the predacon. What they didn't know was that their were optics watching them fight, evaluating every action and response to each attack. Reiscorn's flames faded once again to the blueish purple from before, the flames caught on to the plating of the attacker.

It's wails and cries of being burned alive were echoing through out the grounds where they fought. Reiscorn quickly shut his snout as he saw what he done once again, the stranger cried out horrifying wails of agony as it was being burned. Reiscorn heard a large thud from behind him and slowly turned around as he saw his sire above him looking down at him.
