The orange and red streaks of the early morning light crept slowly across Emma's bed; as the red hues ran across her eyes, Emma slowly opened her eyes as her vision began to become unblurry. Emma found herself in a large guest room with a closet filled with unique clothes that she had never seen before that was all her size; the floor was made of a soft dark blue carpet.
Emma looked around at the walls and saw pictures of the Dracoverain house of Arms on the wall on top of a blue and green wallpaper.
" Ah, Madame Emma, you have awoken," Vector said as he walked into the room wearing a pair of jeans and a dark red vest. He sat down on a chair facing Emma after taking out a pen and a small notebook
Vector smiled warmly at her " Madame Emma, Can you talk?" Vector asked. Emma opened her mouth as she spoke the words. Emma did not even recognize her own voice" Nai Dari Ke'cheng sei jak to speak! Emma cried out instantly clapping her hands
{ Of course, I know how to speak!}
across her mouth and looked at Vector with a terrified look on her face. Vector sighed and reached into his pocket and took out a half-circle earing and clipped it to her right ear.
" Ok, Madame Emma, try talking now," Vector said, taking out his pen and pencil. Emma took her hands from her mouth and spoke softly, her voice shaking with fear and confusion
" What was that just now! These words I spoke are foreign to me. But somehow, I could speak them perfectly as if it was a second language." Emma said Vector replied "
Emma sat up; her eyes widened at this, and her ears perked up, ready to hear more. " So it seems that you are not only a Dracoverain, but you might be part, Quinn. Vector said
As Emma calmed down, she replied, " What does that mean?" Vector nodded and said, " Yes, I am sorry. I should explain. But first, do you know what the Quinn is?"
Emma nodded; she knows a little about Quinn." Emma said, " They existed long before the Multiverse was brought into existence by the Dragon Mother liting The Soul of Anicet One creating The Flame of Life from with the Multiverse Tree grew to create the World of Vera and the Terrain Systems. Then The Dragon Mother gave birth to The Three Guardians of the Multiverse
The All-Mother protector of all the Multiverse that the Multiverse tree creates until its eventual digestion at the End of all time.
Azadawn was trapped inside the Tower of the Begining and the End, waiting until his time to be released
Tai'fawn was given charge over all Underhell." Emma said
Vector nodded and replied, "yes, that is true, and before Terrains were created, The Quinn the Lands of Azatar with will become Tylingariea as it is now." Vector paused and reflected on this
" How strange it is that Azatar a world of peaceful nations, wide-open fields were Quinn both Male and Female could be seen wandering the world in search of adventure as Wildlife of all kinds roamed free thought the world, As the El'taree came there was no war or death but only kindness to this new race" Emma could see a long trail of blood running down his arm as his claws were digging into his palm
"The same went for the Dracoverains; we as a race were treated equally, and we felt like this is our home."
Emma intervened, " I am sorry for those you have lost." Emma said as she got out of the bed and sat down, her legs still too weak to stand
" But Master Vector, please do not place all of the blame on just the Terrains. I have a feeling in my heart that not all Terrains are evil. Some would do anything to stop a threat." Emma said Vector stood up silently and turned around; after a few moments, he spoke
" I will do my best." Vector gave her some pain pills and said, " These pills make you strong enough to move and help your mind adjust to the Quinn Tounge." Vector pointed to the earring that he had put on her and said, " This earpiece contains every single bit of Tylingarieain history and in-depth information on every race.
" Thank you, "Emma said weakly as she drifted to sleep.
Vector walked out of the room and into his room across the dimly lit halls of Castle Dracovera. A cold chill ran down Vector's spine; it was as if a shadow mist tore through his body. Chilling his every bone to its marrow
From behind him, Vector heard the sound of a female's mocking laughter. Slowly Vector drew his blade and said in a commanding voice. " Shade! Show yourself! As the mocking laughter got louder, Vector could hear the cawing of thousands of crows.
As in an instant with stained glass windows shattered into thousands of pieces raining down like a storm sent by the Gods. Vector put up a shield to protect himself from the glass shards that rained from the sky.
Vector looked up and saw an unknown number of crows flooding in from the broken windows. Vector watched helplessly as the overwhelming sea of crows morphed into a man of medium build; he wore a black vest and the Black and red robes of the Raven Shades.
The shade glared at the both of them with his beady black eyes, and clicking his talan like a finger, the shade spoke in a smooth, calm voice
" Are you Vector Dracovera?" The Raven Shade said Dracovera laughed at this riddleus offer " Tell me your name Shade so that I know who will fall to my blade."
The Raven Shade grinned " You Dracoverains are quite the find. My name is Raj'ja Naza'tarare," Raj'ja said formally as he bowed, then stood up and said, " I want to be clear, I have no interest in your mortal war with those Divine fools."
Vector looked at Raj'ja confused " Then why challenge me?" Raja smiled widened even more as he said, " I want you to kill me!" Vector looked back at Emma's room and put his sword away, spoke softly
"If that is what you want, then I will not be able to fight you for some time. I have more important matters at hand. Suppose you will meet me on Xa'ghoul Island in six years. I will fight you then, " Vector said to Raja, who nodded and said, " Is this because of the girl?"
Vector looked at Emma and then back at Raja
" Yes, She is part, Quinn," Vector said as Raja shook his head and sat down in midair, taking a pipe from his jacket pocket and liting it. Raja blew a ring of dark blue smoke and said, " She is not just any Quinn. Did you not see her golden eyes? I know very little of their history, but from what was written down in the ancient scripts written by the Quinn that those who have Golden Eyes are a child of Azadawn."
Vector looked at Raja with suspicion as he readied to attack
" Please, Draco'veraion, I do not intend on harming her. I am grateful t that a Draco'verain is going to teach this child." Raja said extended his hand to shake
" If that is what you wish for me to do. Then I shall do so." Raja said Vector shook his hand and then said, " It is odd I thought that you shades were against Interfering with the Mortal Realms. So why do so now if you do not have something to gain from coming here except dying?"
Raja replied, his face dark and grime, "Draco'verain, I would rather have died all those Eons ago when my race was wiped out by Xenoventaries expect I have been cursed somehow to be unable to die no matter what I do. So you see, Freedom is what I gain by you killing me! As of right now, I am a mere husk of the man I was when I was alive, and now I only yearn for the sweet release of these damened chains that bind me to the physical realm."
Vector nodded, and as Raja was about to teleport away, Vector called out, " Ok, but please wait for me to arrive at Xa'ghoul Island in six years; you gave me your word."
Raja nodded and said, " I will see you six years from today." Vector watched as Raja vanished into a flurry of crows that spread throughout the night sky.
A tall young Dracoverain with light brown hair and turquoise green eyes, his vivid green, and deep red scales were covered by a Royal blue jacket with golden buttons, and Royal blue pants stood next to Vector, both of them were silent for a long time until the Dracoverain
" Vector, Why prolong the fight for so long?" the Dracoverain asked, looking at Vector, who replied, " Because Endor, I do not intend on dying just yet. There are more important matters to be taken care of first." Vector motioned to Emma's room
Endor nodded " You mean the girl who is part Quinn and Dracoverain? What do you think her role is in all of this?"
Vector replied, " I don't know for sure, but this girl may be important later." as he started to walk away, Endor stopped him and said, "Do you think that she would be capable of activating First One Tech ?"
Vector replied, " I am sure that she can. Tomorrow I will take Emma to the First One Tech that was found recently." Endor nodded but had an unsure feeling about this.
" How can we be sure that what was found is First One Tech? I mean, It is Tech that was created by a race that existed a thousand years before the creation of the Multiverse and even the existence of the Quinn." Endor asked Vector, who replied comedy, " I just do."
Meanwhile, as Emma slept, she found herself transported into a vast chamber with a dark blue tile floor and marbled pillars leading down a hallway towards a golden pedestal that held a golden share.
Emma walked slowly down the hallway with each step; she took memories that were not her own flashed before her eyes.
A three Nightwalkers, two boys and a girl, all three of royal blood. One of the boys with Coal red hair and was older than the other two, his face concealed in shadow faded into nothingness." Emma did not know who that boy was; she felt like she had known him.
As Emma got closer to the Golden shere, the image changed, and this time the boy with the Coal Red hair stood next to a female Nightwalker who lay in a pool of blood from the dagger wounds in her chest and the final blow to her heart.
Finally, Emma took hold of the Golden where she could feel its smooth cold metal on the palms of her hands, and a wave of white light engulfed her Emma could hear in her mind the golden share speaking to her in a tongue that did not understand at first but after a while,
Emma understood everything the Golden Shere was telling her and woke up with a start, her body dosed in a cold sweat. Emma stood up and got from her closet a Pastel Blue dress that had elgetly stiched Lavander-colored butterflies on it.
" Madame Emma, are you dressed?" Vector asked as he knocked lightly on the door. Emma put on her shoes and grabbed the door handle, and stepped out into the hallway
Emma turned her head and, with lightning reflexes, grabbed the white stitched ball in her hand and looked it over
A young Dracoverain with a Vivid Green mohawk and Vivid Red Scales shouted out to her, " I am sorry! I did not see you." Emma smiled and tossed him the ball. "It is quite alright."
Vector stood next to her and watched as the Dracoverain boy went outside. Emma looked at Vector and said, " Is he your son?" Vector shook his head " No, his name is Vin Del'taree; he just lives here."
Emma nodded and followed Vector as they walked down a long hallway " Emma, I want you to do something for me." Vector said his very voice series as they entered a medium-sized white room with no windows and a golden orb in the center of the room on a gold stand.
Emma looked at Vector, confused, and said, " What do you want me to do?" Vector replied, pointing at the orb, " I want you to place your hands on that orb and stand very still."
These Inspections confused Emma, but she knew that she had no choice, so Emma put her hands on the cold metal orb. Emma could hear the door close and the clicking of locks
Emma stood with her hands on the orb unmoving for so long in the bright white empty room. Emma had no concept of time; she could have standing there for hours or even years as she stood there all of her old memories of when she was a Nightwalker, her name Luna Youngblood and her past came back to her
finally, she could not hold on any longer and fell backward just as Emma was prepared to hit the ground and die, But just before her vision went dark, Emma saw a nightwalker with Coal Red hair catch her and look down at her his golden eyes shone in the bright white light
"Luna, Thank Azadawn I found you," the man said to Luna
"Marcus, you're alive?" were Luna's last words before she passed out.
Jarred Youngblood walked up beside him and put his hand on Marcus' shoulder. "Good Job, Older Brother; you have killed our sister." Marcus stood up Luna in his arms and glared at Jarred
" Please, Little Brother. You have known I was alive for some time, and Luna had to kept in the dark about the Youngbloods' connections to Azadawn and the First Ones." Marcus said as they left Dracovera castle and made their way to a successful area where they made camp.
After what seemed like hours, Luna finally woke up and slowly sat up, turning her head to Marcus. Luna said in an angry tone, " Marcus, how are you alive! I saw you die!"
Marcus nodded and said, " Yes, Little Sister, you are right but please calm down; there is a lot for me to tell you, and I need you to listen."
Luna huffed and crossed her arm said, " Alright, I will hear you out."
Marcus took out a worn journal and said, " I am sure that at some point you were told that those with Golden Eyes are children of Azadawn and the First Ones were the First Children of Azadawn."
Luna nodded " I was told only part of that."
"Ok, The Youngblood Clan are descended from the First Children of Azadawn, and that is why you can use First one Tech. But that is not the point.
Yes, you did see me die, but when I was buried, I was given a vision by Azadawn of a future where the Multiverse Tree is destroyed, and everything is consumed in darkness.
So I teleported myself back to the land of the living and found Jared and told him about my vision. we decided to wait until the right time to tell you," Marcus said
Luna was doing her best to stay calm as she spoke, " All right, but I have no power over the Youngblood clan because I used one of the Ancient Blood Magic Spells."
Marcus replied, " That is fine. You do not need to be a Youngblood anymore." Luna finally burst into tears and embraced her brother
"Marcus! I am so grateful that you are not dead! Praise Azadawn for bringing you back to us!" Jarred silently while her sister wept into Marcus's shoulder until she finally fell back asleep.
After putting Luna back on her sleep bag, Marcus looked at Jarred and said, " So what now, Brother?" Jarred replied, " You, Myself, and Luna all have one common foe standing in our way, complete control over The Broken Lands. Count Barn Norrfuu'raatoo." Marcus nodded and said, "Yes, but first, we must gather allies that share our cause."
Jarred nodded and said before he fell asleep," you are right." Marcus did not want to sleep; all he could think about was how to defeat Count Barn Norrfuu'raatoo
As night entered the twilight hour from behind him, a sound of snapping twigs was heard. Marcus gripped his blade. "Who is there!" He said bravely, looking around the empty silent woods
" Are you Marcus Youngblood?" a young female said. Marcus turned around and saw a young woman wearing a black robe over her ashen grey skin, and her eyes were concealed by bandages that wrapped around her head
Marcus had never seen such a creature in his life and was unable to respond right away due to the shock of seeing something so bizarre
" Are you Marcus Youngblood?" the young female repeated in the same smooth, calming voice.
This time Marcus did respond, " Yes, I am. Who are you?"
the young woman replayed, " Lady Scarlett Vermillion will when the time is right to offer her aide to you Children of Azadawn. A shelter has been prepared for you nearby, as well as enough supplies to last until the upcoming war. I will return with forces to help you take out Count Barn Norrfuu'raatoo."
Marcus replied, " what does she get out of this?"
the young woman replied, " I don't know. Lady Scarlett Vermillion did not say but told me to tell you that she can be trusted."
As the oranges and yellows of the early morning sun crept across the ground, Marcus nodded " Very well, I will let the others know." to the young woman who vanished into thin air
Jarred walked over to Marcus and placed a hand on his shoulder, then said, " Well, I am still working under the Dyi'vera. But I never saw you or Luna." Marcus looked at Jarred " what are you going to do now? Knowing that the Dyi'vera did what they did to Luna."
Jarred did not respond for a moment, then said, " Nothing different, my duty is to the Dyi'vera with serve under Lupine, so my loyalty is to him as it always will be." Marcus growled and left " Then fine, leave and do not come back, Die with the Dyi'vera."
Jarred nooded and left without a word
as Jarred was making his way to the Twisted woods Raju the Ravenwalker appered next to Jarred
" What is it that you want?" Jarred asked Raju
Raju replied " I sometimes evy your blind loyalty."
Jarred enraged by this drew his blade and attacked Raju who proced to grab the sword in his hand with a swift motion Raju snapped the blade in two.
" You are driven to serve your lord, but unable to see that Lupine is not nor was the one ever in contorl but Azadawn the Overseer is your master." Raju said
Jarred cried out " Begone demon no more will i be subjected to your lies and twisted words!"
Raju let out a crackling laugh as he disappered " Very well, May your loyatly be your undoing Shadow Walker."
