My Three Jewels: The Plan
#2 of My Three Jewels
Forgot to upload this a few days ago. But here's chapter two.
Three Blue Eyes White Dragons were walking close to each other along a mountain's base. The trio were medium sized, more so on the small side; upon closer inspection they were in adolescence.
Kra'zzerix landed in front of their path giving a toothy grin. He had struck a fortune he could only have dreamed obtaining; not one, but three of the precious dragons. Stepping closer to them he began a quick inspection.
The three dragons looked to each other then to the lord before them. They could tell that he was no ordinary Red Eyes Black Dragon from his size. The three were brothers that travelled together, despite the hunt and risk. Flinching at Kra'zzerix's step closer, they moved back. A part of them knew that it would be a possibly fatal mistake to try and flee, yet somehow they didn't feel extremely threatened from the dragon lord. Their blue eyes scanned over him briefly before focusing on his face.
After his short assessment Kra'zzerix gave a slight nod. The red glow of his eyes dimmed until his pupils became red slits. Giving a small chuckle at his find he introduced himself.
"I am Kra'zzerix, a Red Eyes Black Dragon Lord. You may refer to me as Lord Kra'zzerix."
The dragons eased up a degree, still looking him over. They knew that his clan took their kind and that would be their fate.
"Might I know your names?"
A look of skepticism came over the white dragons. Kra'zzerix approached them in a relatively calm and mild manner, compared to the temperament of most other dragons within the red eye clan; something about his "kindness" (so to say, since the three couldn't decide if they could trust him yet.) was proving to be effective.
One of the three spoke up.
"I suppose...since you did tell us your name."
The black lord nodded once and focused on him.
He looked the dragon in the eyes and nervously spoke out his name.
"I-I am Azure..."
Kra'zzerix gave another single nod, turning to the dragon to his left.
"My name is Helio, L-lord Kra'zzerix."
The black dragon grinned and nodded again, turning to the last dragon.
"And I go by Cerule."
The large dragon gave one last nod before taking another step towards the trio.
"And are you three siblings?"
His eyes passed over each one of them.
Hesitantly they replied with a nod.
"Good, good. Now then-"
He extended his clawed paw to them.
"As you are aware I'm sure, there are many creatures out there looking for your species with different intents. Also you may be aware of the feud that our clans have barely survived."
Azure looked over at his brothers nervously before focusing back to the dark dragon.
"Regrettably, some of our clan still bear ill will towards your clan- I offer no harsh gestures to you, but know that you have little choice in the matter."
Cerule looked down for a moment.
"Will you come with me?"
Their eyes widened, staring at Kra'zzerix. They did not expect a proposal from the large male, rather they thought he would scoop them up and carry the three to his holding ground. Helio, Cerule, and Azure remained silent.
"Know that you will be mine, should you choose to accept, but I will protect you- all."
His eyes narrowed as he awaited their response.
"You'll really protect all three of us?"
Azure's skepticism and worry apparent from the tone of voice.
Kra'zzerix gave a firm nod and glared off to the side.
"H-how can we be so sure...?"
Kra'zzerix turned to Helio, briefly taking his eyes off of the forest.
"If you would rather take your chances out there-"
He gestured to the surrounding area.
Helio bit his lower lip in hesitation.
"Could you at least promise us that you will?"
Azure and Helio turned to Cerule with wide eyes and a gaping maw.
Slightly taken aback himself, Kra'zzerix started.
"I-"
Before he could complete his sentence, a Black Luster Guard emerged from the forest.
"Well well well, if it isn't my lucky day."
Lord Kra'zzerix growled.
"Get behind me...Now!"
The three white dragons wasted no time and hastily arranged themselves behind the dark dragon.
"Relinquish those dragons to me!"
The Black Luster Guard glared at Kra'zzerix and pointed to the trio behind him.
The Dragon Lord growled and began charging an attack. His maw cracked and began to fill with orange flames.
"If we must do this the hard way...then fine!"
The Guard prepared his sword and slashed at him.
"Chaos Blade!"
Knowing that he couldn't side step the attack without risking the injury of the three prized dragons, Kra'zzerix took the brunt of the attack.
"Rrg! I-Inferno Fire Blast!"
He unleashed a large, unavoidable, ball of fire onto the soldier. The battle ended just as quick as it started. He paused before speaking.
"I give you my word as a dragon, I promise to protect you Azure, Cerul, and Helio."
The trio stared at him in awe, that display proving his worth. They glanced at each other in a mental conversation and nodded in agreement. Azure lead his brothers in front of Kra'zzerix.
"We'll go with you."
