Heres the next thing im working on.
In 10/25/2013, unconfermed reports of random flashes of light appearing in forrests in michigan. The reports where ignored as unimportent or fake.
A week later, reports of misterious or suspicious individuals sneaking about in the woods begin to flutter in. again these are dismissed, seeing how its hunting season, they assume it's just other hunters.
10/31/2013
Its a mid fall day as the leaves crunched underfoot. with highschool out for the day, I was walking out to the barn to feed the animals when I heard a distant Roar. I looked up to see what was going on, when a second roar sounded, closer, behind me. Without looking I bolted for the treeline.
I could hear the trees, crashing down behind me, as I sprinted away twords the woods. Reaching them, I fliped behind a tree to cech my breath. A ways in front of me a creacher landed, Giving me the suprise of a lifetime.
CH.2
Crashing threw the trees, limbs snapping, pelting the ground with branches of all sizes, Was a dark red, almost brown colored dragon.
Its rider leaped in the air, brandishing a brilyantly adorned sword with weird runes on it.
Frozen in fear ,my hand grasped behind me for anything to defend myself with. I felt my hand grab somthing that felt strange, and I pulled it out in front of me in an attempet to defend myself.
Much to my surprise, A white glowing blade now shown in front of me, and I began to see images, to many, to fast for my mind to comprehend, and my body began to move on its own, countering the elves (for I had gotten a good look at the person and he was undeniably an elf) attacks like I was a sesoned swordsman.
The elf seemed as surprised as I was by the blade but continued swinging his blade in an attempt to break my defenses.
After a few seconds of swords flying, and a constent ringing of blades, the elf found himself on the ground, without his blade, and with mine at his throut.
"That blade! It cant be!" The elf exclamed "where did you get that"
"I...I dont know! It was just there when I needed it..." I stamered.
"... Come. we must see if that's the blade..." he said waving me twords his dragon.
I mounted the dragon with reverince, I had always dreamed of seeing one.
We flew for abot five minutes, not very long. We landed in a dense forest, deser than I remembered it being, on a platform. All around us were houses inside trees, as if the trees grew that way. Nearby was a strange dome structure.
"Strange, where are aronew and zertak?" the elf said.
we ran down some steps to the long entrance to the dome, where we found human raiders standing gard.
"Elf!" one of the four shoted.
We drew our swords, and launched into battle, quickly defeating the raiders. I never killed them, only dissarmed them, but the elf would make a quick slice at the back of there neks, giving them a quick deth.
We raced inside a large room, full of multicolored eggs, ranging in sise from up to my chest to the smallest the sise of a large hunting boot.
I spoted beside a groupe of battling raiders, a human with his blade already above his head, preparing to smash an egg.
"You have magic right?!? throw me!" I siad to the elf who had brought me, pointing at the human.
I braced myself just in time to be thrown with some unseen force, strait at the guy.
I hit the guy with such force his sword flew out of his hands as he hit the wall. He recovered fast however, grabbing his sword and swinging. Again my blade seemed to take over, as I blocked multiple attacks, eventually hitting him in the chest with my fist, and knocking his sword out of his hand with my sword. I knocked him down with a quick blow to his back.
with my blade pointed at his neck I said
"I don't want to kill you, but if you move your dead!"
He apparently didn't believe me, as he tried to pull out a dagger at his waste. My blade took over, plunging into his neck.
The group of raiders had been reduced to two fighting with four elves, the humans, obviously well trained in swordsmanship, where barely holding out against the elves amazingly fast thrusts.
I raised my blade, preparing to join the fight when, its white glow began to slowly blink different colors. Surprised, I stared at it as it blinked, blue...red...yellow... then finally shown a bright silver, and I felt a great pressure on my mind, as if several minds where in my head probing every thought, every memory, until eventually one won out.
I could see, glowing beneath the rest, a white egg, with beutifull silver runes all over it. The elf who had origanaly brought me was standing beside me, and I pointed to the egg threw the groung asking,
"Is there another chamber or smthing? I can see another egg down there, as if it where glowing, and the walls where transparent"
He was surprised, and replied
"very few know about that. The qeen hid it till the day it choose someone, as it is the egg of her dragon, or rather his mate"
"come the qeen must meet you"
The battle had already been over, and the elves had been waching us, curious of the blade.
He led me out the door, and headed twords a huge tree, I havent seen a tree so tall and wide in my life.Upon greeting the guards, we walked inside. There where beutiful paintings hangeg along the corador, and rune-markings running down the hallway like wallpaper. entering two huge doble doors, the throne room was huge, and richly adorned with weapons, shining armour, and paintings, many of past battles.
As we approached the queen, I bowed as respectfully as I knew how and said
"I must apologias, your majesty, as I do not yet know the proper respectful...courtesy's to use around royalty"
"Shozen, who is this you bring before me?"
"I was prepared to kill this human, when he pulled his sword out. I believe it is one of the legendary swords of ideals, as I was unable to best him" the elf who brought me replied
"I have trained four many centurys with this blade. I swore an othe by It. let us see who bests who"
She pulled her sword leaping off the platform like a lithe leapored, and I pulled my blade again, letting it's power direct my actions. Her brilliant silver blade was a blur before me as Her thrusts where blocked, and her fains unefective. We circled like that for about ten minutes, her blade a blur of silver and sound the whole time. Soon after I had counted to ten minutes though My blade found a week spot in her defense and my arms contorted in a weird way to strike her.
Hitting her with the flat part of the blade, It knocked the air out of her lungs, and aloud me to disarm her with a quick blow to her ring laden hand.
Knowing she had been neaten, she sheathed her wepon, and stood, inspecting my glowing blade.
"This is indeed the legendary blade of Imagination and loyalty. Why it chose you remains to be seen"
" theres somthing else your majesty" Shozen siad as she sat down
"Somehow he spotted your dragon egg"
curious, she looked at me to explane.
"Well, I was helping shozen and the other elves defend the eggs when my blade started glowing strange colors, and I felt like my mind was invaded by several others, but thee others, they didnt have any coherent thoughts, or at least none that I could understand. It felt like they where probing My thoghts and memorys. Then one seemed to win out, And I could see, ...somehow see threw the walls and ground, a glowing egg. It was beautiful, with its silver markings"
She sat for a moment, thinking.
"come with me. You two shozen"
We followed her to her chambers, where she opened a secret door, and led us down a large, dimily lit tunnel. at the end, on a pedistal, was the egg I saw, earlyer.
"shozen, He's to stay in one of the new houses for riders, with gards, and he must keep this with him at all times. If nothing has happend in two weeks... I'll take it back and remove his memory of it"
