This is a story I have been writing on the life of Darkstar, the Midnight Blue Dragon. I hope you enjoy reading it.

The Midnight Blue Dragon - Chapter 1: A Beginning, Of Sorts.

My name is Darkstar; I am the third son of King Bloodshadow, king of Akarum. Bloodshadow has always claimed that I am not his son and that my mother had slept with another dragon. I have never known the name of my mother, seeing as she died at my birth and Bloodshadow always refuses to talk about her. I knew that my chances of ascending to the throne were very slim so I did not see any point in learning all the tedious things that came with being a prince of dragons. I hated living with Bloodshadow and my two elder brothers, Lightbane and Shadownight. All I ever wanted to do was to lead a normal life out among proper dragons.
Then, nine nights ago, the day after my eighteenth birthday, I found a way to escape and took it.

Nine nights ago.
I was walking along the halls of my father’s palace, when my eldest brother, Lightbane, leapt out from behind a door, scaring me. Lightbane was the current heir to Bloodshadow’s throne. He was three feet taller than me and was pure gold colour, just like my father and other brother.
I, on the other hand was dark-blue, not gold. Another fact that proved my bastardry, according to my father.

‘Hah ha! I got you good!’ He laughed at me.

‘Lightbane! What the hell? Why can’t you just leave me alone?’ I demanded.

‘Because you are a runt and you do not deserve to be a prince!’ He taunted.

I quickly pushed past him and ran down the hall. I knew that he was right; my father hated me because I was good and he and my two brothers were evil. I could not stand living in this palace with them but it was my mother’s dying wish that Bloodshadow looked after all of us. I ran down many halls, losing my way and coming to a halt in front of a door in some long forgotten passageway. I cautiously opened the door and walked in.
There was a giant stone ring on the ground and a pillar in the middle of the ring. I slowly stepped over the edge of the ring and walked over to the pillar.
There were many foreign symbols and buttons on the pillar and I thought that most of them looked familiar. I always was a fan of trial-and-error, so I started pushing random buttons. Suddenly, the ring started humming and there was a flash of white light. I felt a large surge of power run through the room and suddenly the world went black as I fainted.

I awoke to find myself out in the sun. I sat up, looked around and gasped. I was no longer in the palace! I was lying on a beach somewhere. I saw that I was sitting in another stone ring, but this one was slightly different from the one that was in the palace. I wondered how I had managed to get here, and then it hit me. The ring was some kind of teleportation device! I had just been teleported to another location.
I laughed at the thought of never having to put up with my family again. I had the whole world to explore and no one to tell me what to do.
I stood up, brushed the sand off my back with my tail and stretched my wings.
I saw a family of three dragons approaching from the east. They spotted me and ran over.

‘Looks like you are finally awake.’ Laughed the male as they approached.

‘I’m sorry, but who are you?’ I asked them.

‘My name is Bertain, this is my wife, Cynda, and this is our daughter, Rasani.’ Said the male.

‘My name is Darkstar. Why did you say finally awake?’ I was confused; why were they even talking to me?

I looked at the family closely. They were all staring at me with smiles on their faces. Bertain was dark red in colour and he was almost twice the size of me. Cynda was slightly smaller than her husband and was a pale-blue colour. I then looked at Rasani; she was a ruby red colour and she was the same size as me.

She is beautiful. I thought to myself.

‘We have been coming and checking up on you for the last two days. You see, we were here on the beach, talking, when there was a flash of light. We looked over and saw you lying in the middle of that stone ring. We wondered how you got there, so I looked in our library for a book that I had read once and discovered that you had found some way to activate the teleportation device. Where you have come from, I have no idea, but you are welcome to stay with us as long as you can find some way to pay us back for the food and shelter.’ Said Bertain.

I’d been unconscious for two days?

‘Thank you for your offer. I do not know how I can readily pay you back though, all my money and belongings are back on the other side of that portal and I do not intend to return any time soon.’ I murmured.

‘That’s okay, I am sure that there are many ways in which you could pay us back.’ Said Cynda, smiling.

‘Come; let us show you the city and our lovely home.’ Bertain said, waving me forwards with one hand.

We walked along a path that led away from the beach. I took in all the sights as we headed towards the city. Living under the rule of my father, I had rarely ever been allowed outside of the palace. It was nice to walk along without guards following my every step. For the first time in a while, I was actually happy.
We walked over the top of a hill and I saw the huge city below. The entire city was made out of gleaming white marble.

‘Welcome to Kiralan. The biggest city on the continent.’ Bertain said cheerfully.
I just looked at the gleaming city and smiled. This was what I was going to call home from now on.

We walked down the hill and towards the giant gates that lead into the city.
Bertain led the way through many streets, pausing occasionally to greet people. I realised that Bertain was rather well known in this city and began to wonder who these people really were.
Finally, we stopped in front of a large mansion. The sign out the front said ‘Bertain Kermani, Member of the City Council.’
I suddenly shivered as a tingle ran down my spine.

‘What is it Darkstar?’ Cynda asked me.

‘Nothing, I think that it is just the after effects of the teleportation.’ I lied. I had no idea what caused the tingle, but it felt oddly familiar.

Bertain ushered me inside and he closed the door behind us.
Cynda and Rasani gave me a grand tour of their large house and showed me the room that I was welcome to stay in.

‘So, Darkstar, what sort of powers do you have?’ Rasani suddenly asked me as we were finishing the tour.

‘Powers?’ I asked. I was confused, what did she mean by powers?

‘Yeah, your dragon powers. What is your speciality?’

‘Err, dragon powers?’ I was more confused now.

Both Cynda and Rasani stared at me.

‘You have never been taught about your dragon powers?’ Gasped Cynda.
I shook my head slowly.

Cynda and Rasani led me back to the library, where Bertain was reading a book, and told him about what I had said.
Bertain put down the book and looked closely at me.

‘So, you do not know anything about dragon powers?’ He asked and I shook my head.
He walked down an aisle of the library and came back with a large book.

‘This book should hold all the basics that you need to know. Once you have finished it, I shall take you over to the city training grounds and we shall see what we can do about uncovering your powers.’ He said as he placed the book on the table in front of me.

I spent the next four hours reading the book and I learned that all dragons had some form of powers inside them. The powers ranged from simple fire-breathing, which was possible for all dragons, to complex powers, such as teleportation and shape change. I finished the book, hours later, and felt rather tired. Bertain told me to get some sleep and that he would take me to the training grounds tomorrow afternoon.
Rasani led me back to my room and I thanked her, before leaping on the bed and falling to sleep.

The next morning I woke up and headed down to the dining area of the house, the smell of food drawing me there. I saw Cynda and Rasani sitting at a table with piles of food in front of them. Cynda saw me enter and beckoned me over.

‘Here, sit, I will see about getting you some food.’ She said before getting up and knocking on a small door on the side of the room. A small grey dragon walked out of the door with a plate full of food. He placed the plate in front of me.

‘Thank you.’ I said before beginning to wolf down the food.

‘Careful, or you will choke.’ Teased Rasani.
I grinned at her and ate a little slower. After we had all finished, the grey dragon came back and cleared away the empty plates.

‘Bertain is currently at a meeting with the other council members and will not be back for a while. You are free to keep reading in the library until he comes back to take you to the training grounds.’ Cynda told me.

I was walking along the aisles of books, when one suddenly caught my eye. It was an ancient book on powers. I flipped through it, looking at the powers and their specialisations. I turned to the middle page and stopped. The power that was on the page was called the Power of Rage. I looked at it and read the method of using it.

You must clear your mind and focus on one thing and one thing only. That thing is Rage. Rage alone is extremely powerful and this should not be attempted by a dragon with low powers. Once you have focused on your rage, you must let go of your body and let the rage take over. You will become a devastatingly powerful being that can not easily be stopped.

This power is dangerous! Do not use unless it is a last resort! Overuse will corrupt your mind and eventually destroy your body!

The power looked very interesting, so I quickly memorised the method of using it and the warnings that went with it. I continued to flip through the pages, noting that most of the powers were used primarily for destruction. I jumped as Bertain sat down in front of me. I had not heard him come in, nor had I sensed him approaching.
He smiled at me.

‘The power of stealth is very useful at times.’ He said. He looked at the book I was reading and the smile slid from his face.

‘That book contains some very powerful magic which should not be attempted by you until you have mastered the basics.’ He said warningly.
I nodded and closed the book.

‘If you have finished reading, we shall go to the grounds to begin your training.’ He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the seat. I quickly placed the book back on the shelf and followed him out of the house and into the city.

Bertain led me through the city, pausing often to check something or talk with someone. It took us well over an hour to get to the training ground. The training ground was actually a large building that was divided up into many sections. One section for unarmed combat, one for armed combat, one for power basics, one for power theory, advanced powers, recreation, air-to-air combat, and the list went on. I was led to the Power basics room.
The room was rather large and there were thirteen young dragons and an older male instructor already inside. Bertain went up and had a quick word with the instructor, who stared closely at me. I shifted uneasily under that stare.

‘Come, Darkstar, join us. My name is Lasgoni by the way.’ Said the instructor as he waved me over.
I slowly walked over and sat with the group of young dragons.

‘Everyone, this is Darkstar. He is going to be joining us for a while.’ Lasgoni told the young dragons.
The dragons all stared at me.

‘You are pretty big, aren’t you?’ Asked one of the smaller dragons.
I groaned quietly. I was in the basic of classes that was normally for very young dragons.

I am eighteen! I don’t want to be surrounded by midgets! I thought to myself.

Bertain patted me on the shoulder. ‘I’ll be back in a couple of hours, ok?’

Lasgoni spent his time carefully explaining the various forms of powers and their abilities. I had already read all of this in that book that Bertain had given me so I just sat there quietly, thinking of all the things that I still had to learn. I hated Bloodshadow for never teaching me these things. I no longer thought of him, Lightbane or Shadownight as being my family. To me, they were just part of a difficult past.

Two hours later, Lasgoni bade us all good-bye and let the young dragons out.

‘A word, if you please, Darkstar.’ He said to me.
He closed the door as the last dragon left the room and walked over towards me.

‘I realise that you must know most of what I am explaining to the others. Bertain probably gave you a book or something. There is a faster way for you to unlock your buried powers, if you are interested.’ He told me.

I suddenly payed more attention and nodded enthusiastically.
Lasgoni placed his hands on the sides of my head and closed his eyes. After a minute he opened his eyes and removed his hands.

‘I can sense great power within you. But it is beyond my ability to remove the chains that bind them. Whoever did this to you obviously knew what they were doing. I am going to request that you get transferred straight to the practical of Advanced Power training. Hopefully, someone there will be able to break the chains.’ Lasgoni seemed slightly awed be me and that just left me confused.

How could I have great powers and not even feel them? Who stopped my powers from forming? How powerful was I? Thousands of questions flowed through my head.

I slowly walked out the door and headed to the building’s entrance. I saw Bertain waiting for me with a smile on his face.

‘So? How’d it go?’ He asked me cheerfully.
I told him everything that Lasgoni had said to me and he frowned.

‘Advanced practical? Is he sure that you are even ready? I do not like the sound of it but I trust that he knows what he is doing.’ Bertain said as he led me from the building and out into the streets.

‘There are a few things that I need to do before we get back to the house. Stick close and try not to get lost. If you do get lost, however, just ask someone directions to Bertain’s house.’ He laughed as we walked along a market street.

Bertain stopped at a number of shops, usually for price comparisons, and gave me a whole stack of items and bags to carry.

Well, they did say that I had to help them if I wanted to stay with them. I thought dryly.

We eventually made it back to the house, and by that time, my arms were full of random trinkets and objects.
Bertain told me to leave it all on a table and follow him. He led me back into the library but did not stop. We walked through the library and out a side door. We came to a stop in the courtyard.

‘I am going to see how well you are in combat. We shall start with armed combat.’ Bertain said.
I nodded. I had been taught the basics of both armed and unarmed combat back at Bloodshadow’s palace, so I knew how to defend myself.

Bertain walked over to a weapon rack and took down two short, wooden swords. He handed one to me and took eight steps back. I raised the sword and crouched into a ‘ready’ position. We both stared at each other for a while, each one daring the other to make the first move.
I suddenly leapt forwards, ducked, sidestepped, and swung my sword. Bertain was ready for me though and deflected the blow expertly. I quickly had to ready myself again as Bertain swung his sword, feinted to the right, and hit my left knee.
A sudden pain shot up my leg and I quickly shut it out like I had been taught and responded by launching a flurry of attacks.
I feinted left, thrust forwards, rolled to the right, slashed at his shins, launched a powerful overhand attack and made a quick stab at his side.
Bertain laughed as he felt the wooden sword on his side and knew that I had landed a mortal blow.

‘Very nice. I did not think that you could handle a blade like that.’ He said.
I just looked at him. I knew that I was good, but not that good! Where had my sudden mastery come from?

Bertain took the wooden sword from my hand and replaced them on the rack.

‘Next, we are going to try some unarmed combat, if you are ready.’ He said.

‘Yes, I am ready.’ I replied.

Bertain suddenly struck out with his fist, catching me on the chest. I felt the air leave my body and stood there gasping for a second. I quickly jumped backwards as he threw another punch in my direction. This time, I was ready for him. I leapt forwards and rolled past him. I sprung to my feet and tried to kick him. His tail suddenly lashed out at me and I quickly grabbed it.
Bertain gasped as he felt my hands on his tail. I spun around, and pulled him down.
Bertain hit the ground with a thud. I quickly held him down and realized that I had just beaten a dragon that was twice the size of me. I was never good at unarmed combat! I had always preferred armed combat to unarmed. Yet, here I was, taking down a large dragon with nothing but my hands.
I offered my hand to Bertain and helped him up. He looked closely at me.

‘Were you ever this good at unarmed combat before now?’ He asked me sceptically.

‘I was good at armed combat, I always have. But no, not unarmed. That was the one form that I could not do well at.’ I said truthfully.

Bertain looked at me for a while longer, obviously thinking hard about something. He shook his head and we walked back inside. We were greeted by a worried Cynda.

‘Are you okay, Bertain? I saw what happened.’ She turned to me and looked me in the eyes. ‘With skills like that, you could easily be a great gladiator.’ She told me.
I liked the sound of that. Darkstar, the gladiator! It had a nice ring to it in my mind.

‘Hey, the money that I could win from battles could easily pay you back.’ I said cheerfully. Gladiators were paid a lot of money back in Akarum and I assumed that it was the same here.

‘Well, if you are keen on the idea, I will also get you to spend some time in the armed, and unarmed, combat sections of the training ground. There, you will be able to take on warriors and the like, and you will have the chance to enhance your skills.’ Bertain said. I could tell that he did not totally agree with the idea of me being a gladiator.

I decided to train myself for the rest of the day, seeing as I had nothing else to do.
I walked outside and over to the weapon rack. There was a large assortment of familiar and exotic weapons to choose from. I brushed my hand over them and quickly picked up a long sword that had a slightly curved edge to it. I spun the weapon around in my hand, getting a feel for it, and then made a quick thrust at the air in front of me.
The sword was perfectly balanced and it seemed to fit into my hand nicely. I made a few practice swings, getting used to the blade, when I felt my sword held down by another as I raised it over my shoulder. I spun around and came face to face with Rasani. She was holding a slightly similar blade and was grinning.
I lowered my sword, took a step back, and looked at her.

‘You want to duel? It has been a while since I have had a true challenge.’ She smiled at me with a challenge in her eyes.

‘Sure, why not?’ I said. This was going to be interesting.

We faced each other and did the customary bow. I decided to wait for her to make the first move.
Rasani suddenly jumped to the left, rolled behind me and made a thrust at my back. I quickly dropped to the ground, held myself up with one hand, and sliced at her legs with my sword. She jumped out of the reach of my sword and made a slash at my stomach as I flipped myself back onto my feet. I somersaulted back, landing away from her and made a quick feint to the right. She anticipated my move and deflected the blow easily. I suddenly realised that I was facing a worthy opponent who was probably more than a match for me.
She started picking up the pace. Her hands seemed to blur as she launched attack after attack at me. I had difficulty keeping up but managed to deflect the blows.
Rasani then threw a slice at my stomach, and, as I brought my sword around to deflect it, she quickly changed it into a thrust. I was completely unprepared for that and I knew that I was beaten the moment I felt the cold touch of steel on my chest.

I took a couple of steps back and lowered my sword. I then spread my wings and bowed low. It was a true sign of respect, and it showed that I held no grudge against her.
She returned my bow, something that really surprised me, and placed her sword back on the rack.

‘You fought really well. That was one of the best duels that I have had in a while.’ She smiled at me again.

‘Thank you, you were not too bad yourself, considering that you were the first person to beat me in armed combat.’ I replied, with a grin on my face. I quickly placed the sword back in its rightful spot and followed Rasani inside.

Bertain was inside, waiting for me, with an odd look on his face.

‘I am going back to the training ground, you interested going now to do some combat training?’ Bertain asked me.

‘Sure.’ I said, nodding my head.

:please: continue. Dragons are a favorite of mine and you write very well. I await your next installment eagerly.

The Midnight Blue Dragon Chapter 2: The Black Guardians
*******

Bertain and I went back out into Kiralan and headed towards the training ground once more. This time it was much quicker getting there, as Bertain was hurrying along and did not stop to speak with people.
We arrived at the building and Bertain stopped.

‘This is where I leave you. I need to speak with some people about a very important matter. They are in the northern part of the building. I will see you in three hours.’ He said to me, before patting my shoulder and walking off.
I went through the building and worked my way over to the advanced armed combat area.

I saw ten dragons, divided up into pairs, fighting each other with swords. There was a small green dragon sitting on the side of the field, waiting for someone to challenge. I felt a momentary flash of pity for this green dragon. He reminded me of myself, sitting on the side of everything that Bloodshadow and his sons did.
I walked over to the dragon and looked at him.

‘You looking for someone to challenge?’ I asked him.

He looked up at me and grinned. He rose to his feet and I saw that he was slightly shorter than me.
He walked over to a weapons rack that was on the edge of the combat area and came back with two swords. He handed me one and took a couple of steps back. We both bowed formally to each other and then crouched into ‘ready’ positions.

I noticed that all the other dragons had stopped fighting and were watching us carefully. I had an uneasy feeling that the green dragon was their best warrior. I quickly snapped my mind back onto the battle ahead of me and quickly deflected the thrust that the green dragon had made while I was deep in thought.

I quickly sidestepped, twisted and slashed at his arm. The green dragon moved expertly away and I realised that my fears were right. This was their best warrior. I jumped over his head, did a back flip and landed in the same spot that I had originally jumped from. The dragon was unprepared for this and he did not have time to shift his grip on his sword and counter my attack properly. Our swords clashed and the green dragon’s sword got thrown out of his hand. It flew over my head and I caught it with my free hand. I now had two swords, and he had none. One of the dragons on the green dragon’s left whistled and threw his sword at him.

The green dragon caught the sword and faced me with a smile on his face. I quickly placed the swords in a cross over my head to deflect the blow that the dragon launched at me and twisted away. I then spun both swords in my hands and attacked using an advanced strategy that I had read about in one of Bloodshadow’s books.

I shifted from one fighting style to another, trying to confuse my enemy. I changed from a slow, defensive style, to a fast, aggressive one, and then to a more balanced one, looking for a hole in the dragon’s defences.
Suddenly, the dragon made a thrust at me while I was in the middle of a style change. I quickly caught the thrust with the sword in my right hand and placed the other sword on the dragon’s defenceless neck.

The green dragon stared at me as if he could not believe what he was seeing and the other dragons that were around us gasped in surprise. I lowered my swords, took a step back and bowed. The green dragon bowed back and then laughed.

‘My name is Tyrin. You are the only dragon who has ever been able to best me at armed combat in this building. That is shocking, seeing as you just walked over here from somewhere. What is your name?’ The green dragon said with a grin on his face.

‘I am Darkstar.’ I replied.

‘Well, Darkstar, we could use you as a trainer around here if you are interested.’ Said Tyrin.

‘No thanks, I came here for training, not to teach others. But thanks for the offer.’ I grinned, and began to walk away.

‘Darkstar, wait! You forgot your prize for beating me!’ Tyrin called out to me.

I turned around. There was a prize? My curiosity forced me to stay and find out what it was.
A dragon handed Tyrin a large case and he walked over to hand it to me.

I opened the case and saw that there was a magnificent sword, with ancient runes engraved on it, inside. It was a Dragonblade. Made from pure titanium and imbued with dragon powers, these swords were extremely valuable. I took it out of the case and saw that there was a scabbard lying under it.
The scabbard was made of leather, but held together by rings of gold. It was designed to be worn across the back, as it had two shoulder straps instead of a belt.

I looked at Tyrin.
‘Why do I get this?’ I inquired.

‘Because you beat me, the leader of the armed combat trainers, in a single, spectacular battle. Please, take them. They will do you much good. Farewell, Darkstar.’ Tyrin smiled, shook my hand, picked up the empty case, and walked off towards the dragons that he was training before I interrupted.

I struggled to put the scabbard across my back without breaking it. I eventually succeeded, then slowly placed the sword in it, and drew it out again, getting a feel for it.

I knew that Bertain was still going to be a while so I went looking for someone who knew the way to the ‘advanced powers’ area.

I followed the directions that a young dragon had given me and came across a large, steel door. I carefully opened it and went inside. Once inside, I could see that there was a lone red dragoness sitting at a desk reading a book of some kind. She looked up as I entered and closed the book.

‘Who are you and what do you want?’ She asked me.

‘My name is Darkstar, and I am looking for someone who is able to break the chains that are binding my powers.’ I answered truthfully.

‘Hello Darkstar, my name is Avyn. Your powers are suppressed, you say? Let me see why.’ She said.

Avyn stood up, walked over to me, and placed her hands on the side of my head. There was a throbbing pain in my head as the dragoness tried to see what it was that was keeping my powers suppressed. She let out the breath that she had been holding and sighed.

‘There is little I can do right now. It seems that you are keeping your powers suppressed because of something that they did. You used a memory wipe on yourself and placed a block over your powers.’ She said sadly.

Something stirred deep in my mind and I knew that she was not lying.

‘There is something that I can give you that will unlock the basics of your power. With the basics, you should be able to devise a way to unlock the rest.’ She smiled.

I nodded my head and Avyn walked over to a cabinet on the wall.

‘This will take an hour to make, so do try and get comfortable. You are not leaving this room until I have finished.’ She told me as she got things out of the cabinet.

Avyn and I sat around talking for a while. I had taken my sword off my back and leaned it near the door, so I could sit comfortably. Avyn wanted to know who my parents were and I told her that I never knew my father and that my mother had died at my birth. She started to apologise for bringing up bad memories, but I told her not to worry. She then inquired about my childhood and I told her about Bloodshadow, Lightbane and Shadownight.
The minutes ticked slowly by.

Suddenly, Avyn jumped on top of me, knocking me to the ground, and started to kiss me passionately.

‘What the? What are you doing?’ I asked as soon as my muzzle was free of hers.

‘It is always so lonely down here. I was just reading my favourite book, when you suddenly walk in. I immeadiatly felt desire burning in me and I knew that I could not refuse it. I want you, Darkstar! Even if it is for only one time, I will have you!’ She whispered into my ear. I suddenly felt hot, and I knew that I wanted her too.

She got off me and waved her tight red ass in my face. I could clearly see the moist, hot lips of her pussy and my desire increased ten-fold. My cock exited its sheath and grew. She looked at it and purred.
I gasped as I felt the warmth of her mouth close around my cock.
I could not stop myself. I grabbed her pulled her pussy down to my face and began to stick my tongue in it. Her juices ran down my face and down my throat. They tasted sweet and I wanted more. Avyn got off me and jumped onto her desk. There, she lay down and spread her legs.

‘Take me now! I want you inside me, not teasing me!’ She growled.

I decided to do what she said and let my lust take over. I got up off of the floor and walked over to her. I quickly kissed her once then positioned myself at her entrance.
I thrust hard, and she gasped as a spasm of pleasure roped through her body. I withdrew and thrust inwards again. The feel was beyond anything that I could have imagined. I continued to pound into her, getting faster as the pleasure grew. The walls of her pussy tightened and relaxed as Avyn reached her first orgasm. She screamed with pleasure and I just kept going faster and harder. I could feel myself getting closer and I gave one final, hard thrust.
Avyn gasped as my cum unloaded itself into her and filled her up, pushing her into another orgasm. We both relaxed in the afterglow.

Avyn hopped off the desk and checked the potion that she was brewing for me.

‘It is almost done, Darkstar.’ She said.

She looked around at the mess we had created. I felt a rush of wind, and then it was all clean and neat again. Avyn looked me in the eyes.

‘You enjoyed that didn’t you? Well I did too. I hope to see you again soon and we can do it all again.’ She grinned and my face grew hot as I thought about having sex with her again.
I knew, that deep down, what I felt for Avyn was not love, it was simple lust.

Avyn kept on working on the potion as if nothing had happened between us and, ten minutes later, she handed me a cup full of a hot, thick liquid.

‘That is the Aremus Potion. It was made to heighten one’s powers temporarily. It can also be used to unlock small amounts of power within those who can not use theirs. It should work in this case, well, at least in theory.’ She said as I drank the liquid.
I suddenly felt energy shoot through my body. It felt strange, yet, somehow familiar. I shivered and looked at Avyn.

‘Think about fire and your claw and will it to happen.’ She told me.

Will what to happen? I asked myself. I did what I was told and a ball of fire appeared in my claw.

I stared at it for a full minute before realising what it was.
‘Ah!’ I said and shook the fireball out of my hand.

I saw Avyn laughing at me and wished that she would stop. It was rather humiliating.

‘Well, it seems to have worked. You are going to have to leave now. I hope to see you again soon.’ She said as she walked towards me. She quickly kissed me and shoved me towards the door. I did not know what her hurry was, but I did not really care. I had to get back to where Bertain said he was going to meet me. I quickly strapped my sword into place on my back and walked out the door. I headed towards the area where Bertain and I had split up.

He was not there at the time, so I waited patiently.

After forty agonising minutes, I started to get sick of waiting for him. I walked around the building, trying to find someone who knew where Bertain was. I was given directions to the upper floors and from there I was directed to a room in a corner of the building. I tried to open the door of the room, but it was locked. I decided to give my new powers a try and thought about what was on the other side of the door. I could feel the presence of thirteen dragons. One was lying on the floor, in pain, and the others were standing around, laughing. I focused on the dragon on the ground and gasped. It was Bertain! I carefully reached over my shoulder and drew my Dragonblade as rage spread through my body. I thought about tapping into the rage and using it as a source of power, as I had read in the book, but quickly decided against it as it required a dragon with vast amounts of power to be able to control properly.
I focused on fire and blew the door up with another fireball.

The twelve dragons quickly turned around and faced me, shocked at this intrusion. I looked at Bertain’s bleeding form and roared. The twelve dragons quickly grabbed the swords that were lying on a nearby table and rushed towards me. I stood there, waiting.
As soon as the first dragon was within range, I lashed out with my long blade, catching him across the stomach. The dragon sighed and fell to the ground with a thud.
I quickly reversed my slice and clashed blades with another dragon. I was surrounded and had to rely on my speed to save my life. I suddenly had an idea. I spun in a quick circle, crouched, and spun again. My sword slashed the shins of nine of the eleven dragons. The nine fell to the ground, writhing in pain. I quickly rolled to the side and stabbed. The dragon to my right blinked as my sword went straight through his heart. I kicked him and he fell over, never to get up again. I turned and faced the last dragon; my red eyes were shining with blood-lust. I growled and leapt towards him. The dragon dropped his sword and ran out of the room. I could hear his footsteps quickly retreating and I knew that he would not be back again.

I looked at the nine dragons, still lying on the ground in pain.

‘Why did you do this? Who are you?’ I asked them.

The dragon nearest to me spat at my feet.
‘You shall never find out why, dragon! We shall be victorious in the end! The Black Guardians of the Inner Sanctum never fail!’ He laughed.

I growled and decided to shut him up. I walked over to him and stabbed him in the chest. I looked at the other eight dragons, all grinning at me, and did the same thing to them.

As the last dragon sighed and died, I sheathed my sword and ran over to Bertain. He was unconscious and his injuries were grave, but not fatal. I tried to pick him up and found that he was rather light for his size.
I quickly blasted a hole in a wall with a large fireball. I spread my wings, and took of into the setting sun. I flew around Kiralan, and quickly spotted the mansion. I headed towards it as quickly as I could and landed in the courtyard. I ran towards the door and shoved my way in.

The door was almost broken off its hinges as I barged into the main room. Cynda and Rasani leapt to their feet as I ran in, carrying Bertain. Cynda gasped and ran over to me. She touched her husband’s face and ordered me to follow her to the master bedroom. I followed her upstairs and placed Bertain on the bed. Cynda called for Jyn, the white dragon healer. Jyn entered the room and immediately went to Bertain.

‘I am going to need some time to heal his injuries. Luckily they are not that bad, but had they been left for another hour or two, his chances of surviving would have been rather slim.’ She told us.

‘Of course. Darkstar, Rasani. You will come with me. We will give Jyn some time with him and I want to know what happened.’ Cynda said and we exited the room.

We went to the library and sat on the comfy chairs that were in there.

‘So, Darkstar, what has happened? Why is Bertain injured like that?’ Cynda demanded of me.

‘Oh, where to begin? I shall start from the very start, when Bertain and I arrived at the training ground.’ I said.

I then began to tell them all about the odd, anxious way that Bertain was acting and how he said that he would meet me in three hours. I then told them about my battle with Tyrin and my winning of the Dragonblade.

‘May I see the blade, please?’ Rasani asked me.

‘Of course.’ I reached over my shoulder and drew the blade from its scabbard. I noticed that it was still covered in the dark blood from the dragons that I had just killed. I quickly cleaned the blade and handed it to Rasani. She gasped at the majesty of the Dragonblade and inspected it closely.

After Rasani had studied the sword and swung it a few times, she handed it back and I removed the sheath from my back and leaned it and the sword against my chair. I then continued with my story. I told then about how I had met Avyn and she had made a potion to give me access to the basic part of my powers. I deliberately skipped over the things that happened between Avyn and me. I then told them about how I had waited for Bertain for forty minutes before going to find him.
I told them about my battle with the twelve dragons and how I had picked up Bertain and flown back here.

Cynda just stared at me, as if she did not believe me. Then she shook her head, got up out of her chair and stood on my right side.

‘I can’t thank you enough for rescuing Bertain. We are very lucky to have you here, Darkstar. It looks like that sword is going to do you much good. I still find it hard to believe that you actually faced twelve dragons and came away without any cuts. If you do not mind, I want to replay that scene from your head.’ Cynda said.

‘If that is what it takes, then yes, go ahead. Is there anything that I need to do?’ I asked her.

‘Just focus on the memory of the dragons.’

I did that and suddenly, the space in front of me changed. It became a door. Rasani quickly stood on my left side so that she could see what Cynda and I saw. I realised that we were all seeing this through my eyes, as I saw my claw come forwards and a fireball leapt out of it to destroy the door. The dragons on the other side of the door jumped and grabbed their weapons. I closed my eyes, remembering the rage and the blood-lust that drove me. The image played through the battle and the aftermath. It ended with me picking up Bertain and taking off into the sunset.

‘Thank you Darkstar. I know that it was rage and self-defence that drove you into killing those dragons. It couldn’t be helped. They were going to attack you, so do not feel the guilt for their deaths.’ Cynda said sadly and placed a hand on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and stared at her.

‘That’s the whole point, I don’t feel any guilt. At the time, all I wanted was to see them dead. It is a part of me that I now hate!’ I growled to myself.

Rasani placed her hand on my other shoulder.
‘With skills like that, it makes me wonder how I beat you.’ She mused.

‘It is my damn rage and the fact that I loved the feel of battle! I could not control myself! I became a killing machine and I hate it!’ I buried my face in my hands and groaned.

Cynda and Rasani quietly guided me into my room and I suddenly felt drowsy. I knew that it was Cynda who was inducing this effect but I didn’t care. I gladly dropped into unconsciousness.

I cannot tell how much time went past as I slept, but it was late in the afternoon when I awoke.
