* I do not own Inuyasha or 'The Last Dragonlord' & 'Dragon and Phoenix' by Joanne Bertin*
Story is based on Inuyasha's and Two of Bertin J.'s books. Some characters, story ideas and words will be mine but most of it will be from these two. Don't sue, I'm poor!! But the PLOT's MINE.
Chapter One
~City of Thalnia~
The sun shone down at the beauty that sat near the little stream. The young girl gazed at the clear blue sky as a warm smile appeared on her face. The wind blew a strand of her dark silky hair towards her face. She brushed it aside with her delicate hand and took in the sight before her. This was always her favorite place to be when she wanted to be alone. For a brief instant, the sun was blocked by something huge that flew by. She stared at the objects in the sky and recognized them as three dragons. They were heading south.
~The City of Casna ~
The city of Casna was busier than usual. Everyone was gathered around awaiting the arrival of the great Dragonlords. The guards were trying their best to keep people at bay. The sun shone down heavenly, creating heat waves that drove the people of Cassori mad. Rumors had it that a new Dragonlord has been found and he has not yet found his soultwin. The thought of dallying with such a magnificent creature caused all the young women to fight and push their way through the guards, just to be the first to catch the eye of the Dragonlord.
"How long, Uncle, until Dragonlord Linden Rathan's arrival?" The prince of Casna asked, while shifting uncomfortably in his chair.
He looked towards the sky, shielding his eyes with his hand. He was trying his best to spot any sign of his idol. It had been awhile since he had last seen Linden Rathan. If his memories were correct, he parted with the Dragonlord since he was at the age of 10 and he was now 18. Once his uncle Beren, the Duke of Casna, resigned and appointed him King, the kingdom will be his. He was glad that Linden would be with him when that time came.
~Flashback~
"Tuo shio nake situ, hani kan su luno man....Rann!! Rann!! Are you paying attention?"
"What?...Yes, of course....umm..su luno man." Prince Rann mumbled. He gave his sheepish looks and hung his head in frustration. Why can't they just speak.....anything but Saiga.
"Prince Rann, it's mandatory that you comprehend and acknowledge the essential importance of this language. Your people are depending on you in the future for great leadership. A great leader...."
Rann sighed. "...must uphold the responsibilities and seriousness of this matter...I know. What I don't understand is why I need to know so much when my advisor handles the affairs and not I."
"A good leader must have some form of knowledge with these kinds of matter. You cannot always depend on others, when the best person you can trust is yourself. Therefore..."
A knock on the chamber door interrupted the lecture. Rann can only smile and thank the gods for the break he received. The door opened. A figure in red robes slowly made his way to the two in waiting. He bowed and politely addressed them.
"My lord.....and Duke Beren, sorry for intruding. A message came from the Northern land concerning the upcoming ceremony." He handed the Duke the message and left as quickly as he came.
The Duke eyed the message awhile before he unwrapped the string around the scroll. His face lit up when he finished and he cried out with joy. The prince grabbed the scroll from his uncle, seeing as how he didn't explain what was written in it. When he finished, he jumped out of his chair and paced around. He was much too overwhelmed with delight to do anything else. After awhile, a question formed in his mind.
"Uncle, how...?" he began, as he handed the scroll back to the Duke.
"My prince, many days ago I sent a message to Linden Rathan regarding the ceremony of your forecoming. Seems he had replied," the Duke said as he smiled. "and with good news if I may add."
~End Flashback~
The noise from the crowd interrupted his thoughts. He looked up to where everyone was currently pointing and shouting with excitement. At first he saw nothing of interest, but slowly he spotted three dots in the sky. As they came near, he called out to the guards. The guards heard and followed out his command. More guards gathered to restrain the screaming women while the three Dragons descended.
The red dragon, the largest of the three, landed. Its scales glittered in the sun. It swung its head to its left as a slightly smaller dragon landed beside it. This one had blue and green scales, that of a dragonfly. The last one landed not far from the other two. While the others were coloured, this one was completely black with a brown mark on its right leg. Red mists surrounded each dragon. The mist solidified to form three humans, two men and a woman.
Although this was not the first time the truehumans saw this phenomenon, they still stood with wonder and astonishment in their eyes. The prince was the first to come out of the enchantment. He ran up to the tall man with bright blond hair that flowed from his shoulders. His hair was braided in the clan braid form that a Yerrin man never cut. If it was ever cut, it would mean that he was either an outcast or looked upon as a disgrace to all Yerrin men.
Rann almost flung himself onto the smiling Linden Rathan, when he remembered that he was no longer the 10 year old boy but a grown man. He smiled at his idol and gave the proper respect to the Dragonlord.
"Your Grace, Linden Rathan. It is but a great honor to have you here with us for this special occasion." Rann gathered himself and looked Linden in the eyes.
The Dragonlord smiled at him. "You have grown since my last visit. A fine young man, ready to take on the responsibilities of a King." He gave a small chuckle. "I can see that you will not be sitting on my lap anymore."
Rann laughed, pleased that the Dragonlord was still the same man he knew. Suddenly, he heard a small giggle. Rann immediately recovered to his formal self and turned to address the woman beside Linden. "Your Grace, Maurynna Kyrissaean. You are as lovely as the day we first met. I am sure you are fine these past years?"
In truth, she had not aged since the last 10 years. Dragonlords do not age after they have Changed for the first time. Her jet black hair still hung loosely below her shoulders. Her skin had become a lighter shade but still held its beauty despite the fact that she was often exposed to much sunlight when she was a ship captain, which she had given up in order to be with her fellow Weredragons. What a shame that was, as she was very fond of the sea.
The woman standing beside Linden blushed a shade of red before she replied. "Thank you, I am fine. It's a pleasure to see you again Prince Rann, or should I say My Lord." She smiled warmly.
Rann's heart melted at the smile that was offered to him. His attention shifted to the other man behind Linden who slowly made his way to stand beside Maurynna. He was slightly shorter than Linden and darker in skin colour. He looked Yerrin but also something else that the Prince did not quite know. It explained why his hair was not worn in the same Yerrin braid.
"Ah, Your Grace Shima Ilyathan, I presume. It is a pleasure to finally meet you. Welcome to Casna." Rann bowed once more.
*********
The Dragonlord was settling in his room after the greetings in the Casna field. Linden shook his head in frustration. If only they could have come here without being harassed by the people of Cassori. Thank the gods Tarlna wasn't here to pester him about wearing Cassori formal wear. That thing was darn uncomfortable and annoying. At least he had Maurynna with him this time. If only he could say the same for Shima. Poor Shima, the women of Cassori were practically throwing themselves at him. With the amount of perfume they were wearing, he could tell they were giving him a headache. Or perhaps it was just their infuriating high pitched voice. He, himself used to be in the same positionuntil Maurynna showed up. Thank the gods.
Maurynna was changing into her finest tunic and breeches when she felt a strong arm wrapped around her waist. She leaned back onto the shoulder that supported her and closed her eyes as her soultwin nibbled and placed little kisses on her neck. It had been a long day. She wished they didn't have to attend that ceremony tonight. All she wanted was to lie back in the arms that now held her.
"Heart of my heart." He held her tighter and breathed in her heavenly scent. "Maurynna-love, what is the matter? You seem stressed."
Maurynna frowned. "I'm worried. We're here on account of Rann's ceremony..." she said. Then she switched to mind speech.
But in reality, we're here to find him. If we can't find him, what then? All of Dragonskeep is depending on the knowledge he knows of the mage. She let out a huge sigh. Did I mention I hate mages? The last one nearly destroyed you. Even if I am able to Change at will now, there's no telling what he's capable of and....
Linden turned her around to face him and looked down at the angel that stood in front of him. "We will find him, Maurynna-love." He gave her a reassuring smile and placed his lips on hers.
She returned his kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. He deepened the kiss and brushed his tongue lightly on her lip, asking for entrance. She gladly parted her lip and stroke her tongue against his, as he returned one of his own. She could feel all the fear and stress slowly melting away as he pressed his strong muscular body against hers.
"We still have an hour before the ceremony." He whispered in her ear, when they finally parted for air. "All will be well, my love."
"Maybe I need a little more reassuring. Stress could do a lot to a girl." She smiled seductively as her finger fondled with his tunic, gazing into his warm, beautiful eyes with her own sparkling blue and green.
"That can be arranged."
*********
~City of Thalnia~
Her thoughts were filled with wonder as she imagined what it would be like to soar through the sky with the wind beneath her wings. She snapped out of her fantasy when she heard someone call her name.
"Kagome! There you are. Mother is looking for you. Stop daydreaming, Prince Charming is not going to appear. By the way, did you see, did you see?!!" He asked as he made his way towards her and jumped up and down with excitement.
"I saw. They were beautiful." She guessed that he was talking about the dragons that she saw a few minutes ago. She closed her crystal blue eyes and visualized once again what it would be like to take flight.
"Geez, Kagome. Could you at least stay and talk to me for awhile before you go off daydreaming again?" He asked sternly, rolling his eyes.
Kagome stared at her little brother. For someone who was only 12, she found him to be very annoying at times, but so sweet at the same time. While she and her mother had black hair, he had red hair, just like their father. At least their father is present through him, she thought before she replied.
"Come on, Souta. Mother is probably waiting for us."
They started walking back to the house by cutting through the little forest. It was one of the many things their father left them before he passed away. Although they were not well off, they still managed, and were very well respected. If there was ever any hard times, the Erdons, would be more than happy to help out. After all, they still had an uncle who was one of the most powerful merchants in Thalnia.
Kagome stopped abruptly and placed her hand to her heart and fell on one knee. She felt her very heart was crying out to her. It would happen once awhile but never like this. It felt like her heart was burning with desire and lashing out at her, driving her to do something that she still couldn't understand yet.
Souta stopped short after he saw his sister fell and held her heart in pain. He wrapped his arms around her, willing her heart attack-that's what he called it, to go away. It was happening again and every time it struck, it was always unexpected. Once, it had caused his sister to faint. He almost died of fright.
"A-are you o-okay now?" He asked as calmly as he could manage. But his voice betrayed him.
Kagome nodded after a moment. She tried focusing on her breathing. If she tried speaking now, she knew it would only come out as a harsh whisper.
Kagome... he awaits.
Kagome snapped her head up at the sound of the voice. "Souta, did you say something?" she asked, even though she knew it was not him.
When he returned a confusing look and replied no, she knew. Either she was going crazy after the attack on her heart or someone was trying to communicate with her. Since birth, she had always been able to communicate with others with her mind. Only recently she had developed an empath ability, including the power to move objects with her mind and she was getting quite good at it too.
"Ahhhhhh!!" Kagome rolled on the ground and held her head in pain. Images...powerful....evil images were flashing before her. The impact of the assault to her mind knocked Kagome unconscious. The last thing she remembered was a silver haired angel.
When she finally woke from her slumber, she was surrounded by worried faces. A woman in her mid 40's, stared at her with concerned eyes but she hid it behind a sweet smile.
"Don't you know sleeping on the ground is bad for you?" she joked.
"Hey, no worries. I'm a strong girl....remember?" Kagome replied. Her voice was coarse, but no one seemed to mind. "How did I get back home? You don't mean to say Souta became strong suddenly, do you?"
"For your information, I did too carry you." He stuck his tongue out at her.
"Come on, Souta. Your sister requires rest. Let her sleep."
"All right, Mother. Later, Sis. You take care now." He turned to leave, but stopped to hear a 'thank you' from Kagome. He turned back and smiled sweetly at her. "What are brothers for? ...Don't you dare answer that." He threatened playfully as he left.
Kagome closed her mouth as she watched him leave. She turned to her mother, only to find her staring at her with frightened eyes. "I'm fine." She said sternly.
"All right, take care Sweetheart." she said, doubting her daughter's answer, but she learned long ago not to question her daughter about her illness. She knew it was something her daughter did not like discussing about, particularly when it came to her strange abilities that only family members knew. Her little girl was not an ordinary woman. She would have a very interesting future...and a very dangerous one also. That was one of the things a mother such as herself, could not protect her daughter from. But until that day came, she would continue to stay by her daughter and protect her with her life.
"Be safe, my little angel." With that, she left the room, leaving Kagome alone to think.
She laid back in her soft and warm bed. She rolled onto her right side and looked towards the opened window. The sun was slowly setting. Tried as she might, she could not fall asleep. The image from her previous visions, kept her awake. Who was he? She remembered him having long silver-coloured hair that flowed down all the way to his waist. He was tall and handsome. His eyes were so intense. She could still recall them as the colour of the great Phoenix. Though the vision was nothing to admire about, there was much bloodshed and pain. She felt everyone's pain in that vision. She would have gladly tore her own heart out just to stop it. There was strong...powerful magic at work. That, she knew for a fact.
"Trouble is brewing and I'm part of it." She said out loud. "...Who are you?"
With that thought in mind, she fell asleep thinking about the mysterious silver haired stranger that captured her heart.
