Chapter 57: Egg Dilemma    "Carlos! Wake up!"    "Carlos? Are you okay?"    "He doesn't look hurt."    "Then what's wrong with him?!"    "Maybe he's tired…?"    "Shhh! He's coming around."    "Carlos? Say something! Hey!"    "Sunburst, quiet!"    "Make me! Who knows what happened to him?!"    "Huh? Wha…?" Carlos groaned, blinking as he woke up.    The Pikachu's vision slowly came into focus, showing the faces of his teammates above him. Sandra and Sunburst were the closest to him. Lucar seemed to be missing.    "Where…?" A yawn cut the Pikachu's sentence off.    "You're back in our room, Carlos," Luv r

Chapter 7 The two Gyarados minions of Mayli were heading straight towards Shoshoni. Yuri growled and dismissed the two dim minions of Mayli with the same Thunderbolt before they even reached Shoshoni. Due to their duo types, they went down to the electric attack very easily. Skull and Kraken collapsed into the water with swirls in their eyes. “Yuri, I hate to bring this up now…” Shoshoni started to say, “But I can’t play Jesus all day. I’ve been escorting loads of other Pokémon for hours and I am getting very tired” “I understand, Shoshoni” said the Pikachu, “Just find me some dry land

Epilogue A battle ages-old was ended that day atop the cliff. With the death of Lukos and the Protectors, Arcana's closest descendants had all been killed. The two remaining embodiments of the Dark Leader-- the evil spirit that possessed his aura and the young cripple that had received his body-- had each died there in the last rays of sun. As soon as their leader died, the shadow dragons had found themselves vulnerable. They had no reason to continue fighting. So as soon as the truth was learned, they departed and returned to their families. Who can say how the Dark Leader turned them away in the first place? To everyone's surprise and joy

Chapter Seventy-Four - Jay The day after the peace treaty between the Tharan and Dragon Kingdoms was formed, Dragon Spire collapsed. It had been sorely abused by events--blasted apart in at least three places, and then made to hold the weight of the visiting Guardians. I expected the dragons to be distraught, seeing as the goldbloods had ruled from Dragon Spire for as long as their history could recall. To my surprise, though, none seemed overly concerned, and some even treated it as relief. Syra and Turk were planning to relocate to a new castle, one with a more central location. I hadn't been following events too closely, but it seemed lik

The next thing he knew, Rafael's face was hitting something very hard. Great. I'm dead. He thought to himself. But if he was dead, why was his nose hurting so much? Rafael rolled his head so that that side of his cheek was resting against the rough surface and opened his eyes. The ground was in fact very far away. His head was resting against the rough stone on the outside of the balcony. And his leg… Something was holding him by the ankle. And that something pulled him up and over the side of the balcony and threw him back into the room. There was a loud crash as shards of glass shattered around Rafael, scratching his face and arms w

Chapter Sixty-One: In Closing His name was Isaac. The human half of Half-Dragon Black had been in a coma for almost a year, and waking up as a half-dragon must have been a surreal experience for him. He seemed okay--distant, constantly confused, but somehow okay. We all edged around him. After all, he was still a half-dragon--Yrathain still occupied his body. Did Yrathain speak with him at all? Could he take control? We didn’t know. So we did the worst possible thing we could, and isolated him. The days that followed the battle were something of a blur. Charman was injured badly, but lived, after he received care. Most of us were ev

Chapter Thirty-Six: Change They held a funeral for Solan, in the way of dragons. Jay found that dragons were not ritualists as humans were. The funeral was a simple time to say goodbye, a celebration of Solan’s spirit rejoining the elements, and his burial under the earth. A large group gathered together to speak of their memories, and to commit Solan’s body to its final rest. A dragon with deep black scales and blue eyes lurked near the back of the crowd, then left before anyone could speak with him. Solan’s family, too, had come. Jay had never met them, though he’d heard of them through Solan’s words, and someh

Chapter 76 - TRANSFORMATION Another ripple shot through the area, followed by a vibration in the air. Yael fell back again. The black mist was torn away, leaving her demonic body visible for the first time. Her arms were too long, her hands and feet skeletal and clawed. Her rib cage and spine were visible, no stomach or innards. She fell to her knees, wings lying limp behind her, patches of her inky skin showing a more human colour. The ground shifted under my feet. I grabbed hold of Huang and Rayne, who grabbed Katie, the four of us steadying ourselves as the surface we were standing on gave another shudder. I looked over my shoulder at the
