It all started the day when I found an egg mum said that it was a dragon egg which meant I was destined to join the Dragon riders not many people are chosen because the dragons chose someone who is brave and courage’s at heart. They are called the Dragon Queens because only the female dragon chose and it’s always a woman, the male dragons just wonder all over the world never staying in one place.
Although there is only one queen who rules the dragon riders most people call them the Dragon Queens because they can control and ride the dragons.
‘but it’s no walk in the park Crystal the riders have enemies as well like the resent enemy that came to power the Demons they bond with men who have darkness and cruelty in there heart and there are too many these days, the egg is too big to move we will come back tomorrow now come on we must go home.’
But I didn’t want to Leave I was drawn to the egg so after dinner when mum was asleep I snuck out and went too stay with the egg.
I woke up in the middle of the night I must have fallen asleep the egg was making noise and had started to hatch first came her head she was a beautiful Sapphire blue next were her front legs the rest of her she was about the size of a goat, I knew she was a girl because mum said only female dragons bonded we seemed to have a connection right from the moment she hatched I knew what she was thinking and that her name was Sapphire and she was very hungry, she could walk after a few clumsy attempts and she looked at me like I was her mother. I guess in a way I was so I took her home. As we got closer to home the smell smoke drifted towards us it started to worry me when we got to the edge of the forest I saw that the house was on fire it was one big red and orange blaze I could see some soldiers so I hide in the bushes they had my mum and were yelling at her
“Where is she?”
over and over they asked, she just kept shaking her head, they must have been talking about sapphire my dragon I told Sapphire to be quite the solider hit my mum but all she did was shaking her head the solider drew his sword and time seemed to stand still I wanted to run to her and stop him but I was glued to the spot it was like looking through glass into a nightmare I couldn’t move just watched helplessly as he ran her through with it that’s when I saw one of the biggest dragons I had ever seen it was purple and red with a gold helmet to protect its head it must have been a weak spot. It was flying strait at the solider with incredible speed but got him too late she was already dead.
More dragons appeared and the soldiers with so few numbers ran for there life’s there were riders on the dragons backs six in all, I snapped out of it and ran to my mum and collapsed next to her crying Sapphire followed me, the big purple and red dragon landed and I looked over to see it’s rider jumped down, she was very pretty she had long red hair with purple streaks through it like me her hair seemed to match the colour of her dragon and her eyes were glacier blue same colour as mine I noticed, She was dressed in a metal armor that seemed to bend when she moved. She walked over to me and crouched next to me
‘I’m so sorry about your mother. We tried to get hear as fast as we could but we failed we weren’t close enough when we felt your dragon hatch they got hear before us.’
“Wh… who are you”
‘My name is Athena leader of the Dragon Queens this is my dragon partner Ruby’
I just sat there and looked at her she was familiar to me but I don’t know were I’d seen her, and what was I supposed to do now my family was gone and sapphire was still hungry
‘Sapphire is hungry what am I supposed to feed a baby dragon? And what happens to me now I have no family left.’
I knew she would have the answers she had a presence of power about her
‘we usually don’t start on a partners so young as you two but its not safe for you here you can come back to the dragon palace with us and start training to be a rider or we could put you in one of our villages with our families till your old enough to come train at the palace it’s your choice.’
‘I’ll go with you to the palace if it’s not too much trouble’
‘None at all come on we’ll take care of you, your not alone’
‘What’s your name dear?’
‘Cr…, Crystal, My Name is Crystal”
‘Nice to meet you come on we have to leave’
I went with them to the palace so that was the day my life changed forever.
