Emerald
#1 of Guardian Gems
on a planet made entirely of dragons, 7 chosen must learn to work together in order to stop an unknown enemy. at this time, we are just learning how they find each other.who they are and what they can do.
this story includes several OC's that i have created. i have always wanted to write their stories. each gem provides a certain ability connected with an element. the first Guardian gem we are meeting is the oc i take most pride with, Emerald.
We begin our story in a rundown house that holds 3 different families. A female is in labor with her first child.
"One more push dear, you're doing great" a dragon in her late 50's is delivering the child. Her name is Olam. She knows that the mother will not survive the birth as the child is pushed out the last bit. With the umbilical cord cut, Olam begins to wrap the child when she notices something glinting from the child. A gem! Immediately Olam clears the room and cleans the child and sees a shimmering Emerald in her forehead. This means the child should be disposed of in accordance with the law. Gems appear once every hundred years and indicate a coming war with some unseen force. Olam is a believer in the old ways. When these Gems were see as heroes and warriors of this world. So she vowed to keep this child hidden. Teach her how to control the abilities that will soon be present. No one must know of this birth. Emerald must be kept safe.
13 years have gone by. Olam grows old but still cares for the forbidden child. Emeralds powers began to grow and as Olam suspected, the element was nature. With her powers reaching full bloom, and fast, Emerald needed to spend more and more time in the woods. One night while Emerald was in the woods deeper than ever, her ears that had been tuned into the beat of Olam's heart, suddenly went silent. Olam had stopped breathing. Emerald did what she was told to never do. She took flight far above the tree line and bolted back to her home. once arrived, everyone was with Olam, yet none shed a tear. Suddenly they heard a screech of horror. Emerald was standing in the doorway, eyes portraying a look of pain and disbelief. "OLAM" she cried out. They all noticed the gemstone and screamed. "How dare you enter this house! You are not welcome here." stated the short red dragon hold Olam's hand. "You will leave now before you curse this house and kill another one of us!". But Emerald did not understand. How could they possibly think she did this? the residents took this silence as a threat and charged at her. Scared and confused, Emerald raised her arms in defense, causing a wall vines to appear. She took flight, not knowing where to go, but she didn't care, as long as she could escape this nightmare. Finding an open field, Emerald collapsed, exhausted and cried herself asleep.
Once she awoke, it was dark. She couldn't see anything yet she also felt safe. Sitting up, Emerald realized that the grass had formed a cocoon of some sort. I have alot to learn she said to herself. "Now where do I go from here?" Emerald asked aloud. Suddenly, she knew. East. It had just popped in her head. So east it was then.
