《A Dragon Rider's Element》Tenaglia ( 27 )
Advertisement
I yawned as woke up from my visit from the dreamscape. Sardis words still fresh in my mind. One of the riders that I have trained with for only a month but felt like a lifetime. One of them was selling us out to Zeref. I felt sad knowing this but that soon turned to anger as I realized that the person was the one that poisoned Ty.
The ended of my hair flicked into flame because of my anger. But it faded as Athena nuzzled me and my anger dissipated.
"Welcome, back. So how was the dreamscape?"
"How'd you know."
"You're my rider you can't go anywhere without me know."
"Good, to know because we got a problem."
I filled Athena in on what Sardis had told me during my visit to the dreamscape.
She growled when I told her about the rider working with Zeref.
"I think we both know who it is", She hissed.
"I know, but we can't act on a hunch", I stated.
"Then we have to watch him."
"Agreed."
I got from my place on the ground. I scanned the area to see the rest of the team still asleep. I slowly walked over to Ty carefully not wake Raikou. I kneed down next to Ty to check on him.
Ty was still a deathly pale and his eyes a dull blue. His breath was dry and rash as he struggled to breath. His fever was still high even by my standers.
I brushed stay strands of his blonde hair off of his face. He slowly leaned into my touch. He groaned as his eyes weakly opened. Ty looked at me and smiled weakly.
"Hey", he said hoarsely.
"How are you feeling?", I asked as I felt his head for a fever.
"Worse than I look", he coughed.
"Then you need to rest and regain your strength the others need you."

"Where are we?", He asked ignoring my respect for him to rest.
"What did I just say", I sighed before answering," Were on the edge of Ireland about to cross the Atlantic."
"So your heading to Tenaglia."
"Yes."
"Sorry I couldn't be of more help." He said with sadness as he began coughing again.
I held him as he did his head in my lap. He soon stopped as I ran my hands through his soft hair gently. He closed his eyes as I did taking in the feeling. There was a time of silence before I spoke.
"I talked with your brother.", I said tried to cheer him up.
His eyes shot open and his tired to get up but the pain stopped him putting right back into my lap.
"When. How."
"Just a while ago in the dreamscape."
He smiled at my words.
"That's him alright. Dreamscape magic is one of his favorites. What did he say?"
I thought if I should tell him about the rider working with Zeref, but I decided against it. He has to rest. Telling him would only make him stressed. So I lied, well it wasn't a complete lie only a half-truth.
"Asked if you were well. He knows what happened."
"He shouldn't worry about me. My magic will return soon along with my strength."
"He's not worried he said you're strong."
"Not as strong as I like to be."
"Everyone always wishes, they could be stronger."
It was silent again between us as I continued to run my hands through his hair.
"Did he say anything else?"
"No", I lied.
"How are you hold up?"
" I'm fine. I can handle the others. You don't have to worry."
"But-" He began before I cut him off.
"No, buts besides you need to rest.", I scolded.

"Alright, just promise me you'll be careful."
"I Promise."
Ty smiled softly before he let his eyes fall closed and almost eminently fall asleep in my lap. After I was sure he was asleep I quickly moved him off of me and left to walk the others.
When the others were fully awake we packed up and head across the Atlantic. The asleep Ty rode with me. As the others took off something caught my eye and my me smirk.
Jason had a huge bruise on the right side of his face and a matching black eye to match. I bruise even took shape to look like a hand.
My hand.
I laughed silently as Athena and I took off into the sky feeling proud of myself. The flight wasn't too long, but the saltie smell of the ocean air relaxed me.
We landed and the others stood next to their dragons waiting for orders, I dismounted and made Ty comfortable on the ground. While Raikou stood guard by his sleeping rider.
"Alright, What's the game plan?"Alex asked.
"Our goal is to find Tenaglia and fast."
Roy raised his hand awkwardly and looked at me.
I sighed deeply as I looked at him.
"Yes, Roy."
"Hmm... I'm new to this but how do we find her?"
"Dragons have a good sense of smell we follow them."
"Oh."
"Athena got anything."
"It's faint but I can smell her. She must be underground."
"Lead the way."
Athena walked away with her nose in the air. The others and I followed close behind her.
We walked through the tree quickly, to kept up with her. We had to leave Ty behind but I knew he was safe with Raikou.
We came to an opening in the rocks of a hill that went deep into the earth. The hole was big enough for a person to walk into fine, but the dragons were too big.
"Alright, we have to make this quick the dragons will stay here. Why we find Tenaglia."
The others agree and told their dragons to say.
I asked Athena to keep an eye out for Zeref and his soldiers and to tell me if they were close. She agreed as she rubbed her head against me.
"Stay safe."
"I will," I promised.
The others and I walked into the small cave opening. I was first followed by Alex then Roy and Jason.
I lite a fire in my hand and held it up to light the dack and wet cave.
We walked for a while more before Roy broke the spoke.
"This is my life now. I have climbed this hill and know I will die upon it." He panted.
"Shut up. We've only been walking for twenty minutes.", Alex scolded.
Then the cave walls shock and loud rumbling was heard above us.
"Earthquake? ", Jason question.
"They're here."
"We need to keep mo-" I started but was cut off when the ground under me crumbled causing me to fall.
I heard the others call out as the fell deeper. I was slammed into the cave wall as the sharp rocks sliced my arms and legs.
I hit the ground harshly as the world was still spinning. I laid in the darkness from some time as I tried to catch my breath.
When I did I lit a fire in my hand and look over myself.
I was cover in blood and my clothes were ripped in most places, but the worst part was my leg. It was bent at a funny angle and was socked in blood. I could tell it was broken.
Then I hear a low rumbling that almost sound like a laugh. I looked at the direction of the noise and saw a huge elegant green dragon staring back at me.
Tenaglia.
"That was some fall. Are you alright?"

Tellus Stirs (Previously Earth AA)
The year is 2030. Earth is dying. War, pandemics, overwhelming pollution, species going extinct, climate change, etc. The so-called human race has brought more harm to their planet due to greed; their increased energy needs were on a path of decadence even with their increased technological advancements. Tactical Nukes were already used in conflicted zones in the fight for resources. The conclusion was a deep and frightening hum unleashed deep within the earth, heard by every living creature, and with it, civilization has ended. Those who survived wished they were slain along with their loved ones as the dead didn't have to endure what came after. Others took the opportunity to gain unimaginable power and prestige as a new age began. Chaos reigned as per the prophecies foretold in the past. Those who did not believe knew the signs were actual; these prophecies were no longer popular folk tales. Such titles, the Breaking, the Rapture, the Malhama, and many others, came at a high cost. After all, every city or densely populated area had been hit with natural disasters that encompassed tsunamis, Earthquakes, Firestorms, Typhoons, and hurricanes. Power, food, infrastructure. All of it was gone and what came after was worse as humans were no longer top of the food chain. Yet the imminent destruction of the 21st century re-opened a veil that had kept the world safe from hidden dangers, or maybe it was the other way around. Time will tell. In our story, the Protagonist rises from the ashes of the apocalypse. A desert child soldier nurtured by tragedy and death looking for an escape to fill the void in his heart. By chance, in his hand, he held a blade with immense possibilities.
