Tainted Promises

Tainted Promises

0 INK

Welcome to Terra, land of the dragons. The war rages on, and only the four chosen can stop it. But first, they must find each other.

1,451 readers have visited Tainted Promises since Head_Over_Heels created it.

Introduction

The world that you see nowadays is different from the world you once knew. Somehow, things turned upside down as everything seemed to be put in reverse. Well, not the time, but the way that we knew the world did at least. We went from having technology everywhere, to barely any at all. Now, what we live in today seems to be similar to the world of our fairy tales: dragons and knights, the daring tales of the brave men that fought to their very last breaths to protect those that they loved. This is the world now, the world that people have once again come to terms with.

What once used to be America is now know as Terra, land of the dragons. Scattered across the country are various towns and kingdoms, each well fortified to fight off any dragon that might decided to attack of it's own accord. This is common all around the world now, though not many know of where the dragons came from. They were always thought to be things of legends, only stories told to further lengthen the imagination of children. Some think they came from caves deep beneath the surface. Others think that they came from an experiment gone wrong. But it doesn't matter where they came from, it just matters what they do now that they are here.

In the small town of Towren, the people are constantly tormented by the dragons assaults, for their defenses are not as strong as others may be. In fact, this small town, located in the wild wilderness of north Terra, they are far from any other towns or kingdoms, and are on their own. The dragons, it seems, have decided to take advantage of this and are now in the middle of the war with the people of Towren, and the fact that they have control over the for elements doesn't make it any easier for anyone else.

Four people of the town, each one living different life styles, have been chosen, whether they know it or not, to become apart of this war that nobody wanted. But their calling is a higher one, one that both the people of Towren and the Dragons have no idea of, one that four dragons shall be apart of too. Where you fit in is up to you.

The forest creaked and groaned as a soft wind blew through it's trees. The occasional distant roar or growl was heard here and there from the hidden dragon, striking fear into those that resided in the woods. Well, most of the creatures anyways. "Come boy! Come on!" A feminine voice said loudly in the silence of the forest as the black horse beneath her stretched his neck out far, obviously straining as it strode to go faster and faster. The young woman that sat on the beautiful horses back had long, golden colored hair, her dark brown eyes flashing as she pulled the bow from her back, turning to fire round after round of arrows at the giant coal colored dragon that flew after the two.

Lana watched in fear as the dragon opened it's mouth, about to spring fire to life from it's mouth as it growled loudly. Alana quickly put her bow back onto her back, then gripped Elpis' reins and jerked him to the side just as a wall of flame shot behind them. She dug her heels into the horse's flank and they surged forward once more, dashing forward with great speed, launching himself over a lone log, the dragon behind them roaring in rage as it realized that it's prey had escaped.

With a grin, Lana patted the horses neck in encouragement as they continued on, fleeing from the beast. A couple of hours later, the young woman arrived in a small clearing, a little den like area hidden in the roots of a large tree nearby. Lana pulled the large horse to a stop, then jumped down, pulling him forward gently until she and the horse were inside the small den, for opening was large enough for the two to enter, and the inside was definitely fashioned to be large enough. As Lana put the horse in his make-shit stall, she took her cloak off and threw it onto a chair she had fashioned for herself. "Just another day in the life." She said to herself quietly with a small smirk, moving over to get the horse his dinner.

Mystique soared over the town of Towren, screeching with delight. The noise sounded like that of a bird of prey, ready to attack. She screeched again loudly, then dove down, flying just above the houses and shops of the town. With steady wing beats, the small white dragon rose back into the sky, disappearing into the clouds briefly before diving again. This was all fun and play to her, as she was still young and had no one to tell her otherwise what to do. Her feathered wings brushed the top of a house, nearly ripping the roof from it.

The dragon let out what might be described as a laugh, though it was more of a series of high pitched chirping noises. Looking down, Myst's blue eyes spotted the panicked people, running for cover and for weapons. Why did they always throw things at her? All she wanted to do was play. Maybe she could catch some of the things they threw at her? Unless they were on fire or sharp and pointy. She had virtually no control of fire, unless it was simply blowing a torch out. She could manage that.

Beating her wings, she quickly began to hover in the air, sending strong gales of wind through the poor town. The people seemed to be prepared by now, a sign that she should leave. Myst rose back into the sky. She could continue dive bombing the people later. For now, she would be content in her element-air. Sighing contently, the white dragon circled above the town, just below a large cloud. The air was a bit cold, but she didn't mind.

Jason gave a slight growl. Those damn soilders had been at him again. When Jason had been 'found' by a police officer and taken to the station, which in truth was no more than a medium-sized shack near the center of Towren, he had been told that he was going to be put in prison for 5 years. Though there was also an offer and like any person would do he took the offer. The offer was to help fight in the war between the dragons and the people of Towren. Jason had never hated dragons, sometimes thinking it was intelligent that they singled out their village because it was small and no where near any kingdoms who could protect it. The other villagers didn't think of it like that though, thinking the dragons barbaric and blood-thirsty.
I'm sure not all of them are like that he thought. He was then thrown into the war without secound thought, the promise of a repectable life if they won the war. He was give no armour or weapons, though all he really needed right now were his fists and his 2 daggers. The soilders of whom had singled him out from the small band that was set to guard the town from outside of it's boundaries were mere peasents themselves who had joined for a quick buck and some fame to boot. Jason smiled, he couldn't really say he wouldn't have joined for those reasons either when the war had first started, but he had been busy not wanting to kill himself. The soilders had beat him up, called him names... it was truely pathetic in the eyes of an experienced street-rat, who had escaped death and capture for 3 years.
He looked up at the blue sky, which had few clouds in it. Trees almost surrounded him in all directions, all solid and imoviable as the dragons themselves. He sighed, he had been standng here for 30 minutes now, he hated being in the same place all the time. He gave a cautious look around, making sure all the the other guards were out of sight. He smiled and then wandered into the trees directly in front of him, looking for anything that might intrigue him. Besides if he was caught he could just say he had been doing some recon.

A loud splash could be heard as a blue dragon dove into the lake. The wild animals that were once enjoying a nice drink, fled the scene as the large creature took over their water source. With a loud happy cry, Kai flew back into the sky, shaking off the water on his wings. He shot up into the sky, before diving back down. The dragon seemed to be chuckling to himself as the fishes hurried off to find a place to hide. Kai stayed under water for a few minutes, before allowing himself to poke his head. He snorted as he climbed out of the lake, swinging his tail to the side.

He sniffed the air once, and folded his wings neatly against his side. A shadow casted over him, as a black dragon flew over his head. Being used to other dragons, Kai paid no attention. He pondered whether to take a nap or find something to eat. Perhaps... sleeping with a full stomach would be better. Tilting his head to the side, Kai finally lifted up into the air. He stayed close to the ground, seeming to be a bit lazy.

He roared loudly throughout the forest before grunting. As if giving up already, Kai landed on the ground once more and laid down on the spot. He rested his head down onto the ground, eyes closing slowly. Swimming was fun, and he loved it. The only problem was, he felt so tired after a nice dive in the water. Once he was comfortable, Kai allowed himself to relax his muscles, falling into a light sleep.

It had been several months since the Sumerian used the portal of transference near the Annados mountains in Anidon to travel into yet another strange land, one which suggested ancientness and yet seemed to be beyond anything he had ever experienced in terms of a civilizations advanced state. It had taken him several weeks before he finally arrived at the very back edge of the forbidden forest, there was still a great distance to go before he reached the small town of Towren. The Sumerian was now standing at the edge of the dark forest contemplating his options, though he was new to this world he had great instincts. There was just something about this forest that didn't seem right to him, off in the distance he could hear the faintest echo of a roar, though a brave and powerful warrior, the sound did worry him a little, but he had already decided to venture forth into the forest, placing himself in fates hands.

Mystique continued to circle above the town, then became bored. She was a very childish creature, nothing ever held her attention for a very long period of time. It was then that she got the wonderful idea to pick somebody up from the town and play around a bit with them. How delightful! Diving again, Mystique's claws grabbed a towns person, who quickly stabbed her with a pitchfork. Of course, she had picked up a farmer. Screeching loudly, she shook the man and flew towards the woods, planning to drop him there as revenge for stabbing her. Her scales were tough, but it still hurt.

Hovering above the trees a few hundred feet from town, she finally dropped the man. She didn't care where he landed, as long as she hadn't been hurt. Twisting around, she looked at her back left foot, seeing a bit of blood. Stupid humans. How was she supposed to fix this? Sighing and dodging a flying pitchfork, Myst flew farther into the woods before settling in a clearing. She was not very good with maneuvering on the ground. Climbing she could do, but she hated the forest. It was too crowded for her to walk properly.

She gingerly licked the blood away with her skinny pink tongue. She hated blood, even her own. The man had obviously used more force than she'd expected when trying to hurt her. This was the only reason she hated humans, because they didn't like her for some reason. Mystique set her head on the ground. rest would do her good.

Jason looked arounds. There was only trees, trees and yet more trees in his path. He hadn't really kjnown what he had been expecting when he had come into the forbidden forest but obviously it was not there and now Jason was getting bored, adn admitablky a bit lost.
"Great" he mumbled quietly to himself "first i get caught on a low level theivery and now i get lost ina forest where no-one will search for me or even care if i'm dead" he stopped and twisted around, kicking the nearest tree to him.
That was when he saw something strange, it was a large shape, very large. The shape had feathry wings and was a murky white coulour.
A dragon!? Jason thought as he hid behind the tree, he wasn't scared, or at least he thought he wsn't scared, more curious. If this dragon had feather wings it was probably an air dragon, so what was it doing down on the ground in a forest where flying was almost impossible. He looked around and then saw that there was blood on the dragons left back foot. Must have been the villagers. He walked forward gingerly and said
"Hello? Do you need help?"

Mystique looked at the human who stepped out of the forest. He looked both bewildered and interested. That was strange, since most humans she had encountered were carrying weapons and trying to kill her. The humans were fun to play with, but seemed so angry all of the time. She didn't understand it. Looking at this human though, she could tell that there was something different about him. He proved her right when he asked if she needed help. Of course she did! Her foot was bleeding and she wasn't sure what to do. Surprisingly, she'd never had any injuries like this before.

Myst could not talk as the humans did with vocals. She lifted her head, looking down at the human. She wasn't sure if it would work, but figured it was worth a try. Yes. Help me, she thought, directing the thoughts towards the human. Maybe he would really help her? If he could hear her thoughts that was. Doing the dragon equivalent of a sigh, she laid her head back down near the boy's feet.

Jason could hear something, it was distant but he could still make out the words, the dragon had a greed that she needed help. Jason smiled as the gragon laid it's head at his feet. He petted it softly as he looked around his person, finding some bandages that someone had thrown to him when he had gone out to guard the walls, he quickly unraveled them and moved to the dragon's back foot, putting a dressing on the wound.
"There you should be fine now"

Myst flinched at his touch, but it was comforting. She could trust this human, as long as he didn't have any sharp, pointy things with him. After he had dressed the wound, she wasn't sure how she could thank this human. Would could he possibly want? Food? She had none of that, which reminded her that she should hunt again soon. Perhaps he needed to go back to the town? After all, any sane person wouldn't venture into the forest alone. So she would take him back to wherever he came from as a thanks.

Lifting her head again, she looked down at Jason with large, icy blue eyes. Mystique then snatched him up in her mouth and took off, rising high above the ground. She wasn't sure how Jason was reacting, but as long as she didn't drop him, he should be fine. Once the two arrived above the town, she needed to consider where to drop him off. That was better said than done with the current war.

Circling out of throwing range, she finally decided to just leave him at the top of one of the pathetic walls. What would this wall do to keep dragons or people out? Descending quickly, she swooped above the wall, following its pattern before releasing her grasp on Jason and then flying up again. Thank you. she thought as she swooped low, looking at Jason one last time before soaring out over the forest.
