Description True Beginnings
By: Draco


Prologue

Date 4/5/2610

Experiments XJ1 and XJ2 have reached the age of 5 and are working out better then we thought. XJ1 is smarter then anything we have created so far. He is also better at a lot of other things. He seems to like being alone. His only personal contact he has is with Maria. Further observation between the two is needed. XJ2 is less adequate than his twin XJ1. He is more into groups then XJ1. He seems to have made himself the leader of his group. Further observation is needed.

Date 5/6/2615

Experiments XJ1 and XJ2 have reached the age of 10 and they seem to have given themselves their own identity. XJ1 goes by the name of Mike, and XJ2 goes by the name of Draco. Mike and Draco have been in more conflicts with each other today than yesterday. Draco seems to be the dominant one of the two. Mike and Maria are getting along real well. They have been found kissing each other.

Date 2/20/2617

Draco has started to change. He seems to have accepted it and is using it to his advantage. Mike has not changed one bit and seems to reject his brother even more since he started to change. It’s like he is rejecting what he doesn’t want to be. It may be a factor in his change. He may not even end up changing.

Date 7/23/2620

Draco has finished changing and Mike has not even started yet. We think he will never change. It seems that Mike has fallen in love with Maria. It will be nice to see how this relationship turns out.

Date 4/25/2625

Draco has become more violent in the past five days. I think he may start a revolt. We will try to suppress this behavior. We hope… What the fuck?! Why did the ship just shake? An alarm? Shit, must be him. Lets just hope he doesn’t get control of the ship.


End of File



A dark figure runs down a hallway looking for someone. Red lights flash on and off. An alarm screams. A faint echo “All hands battle stations.” The person reaches a door. The door slides open by itself. He sees who he is looking for. The pretty lady. She turns her head to the door and sees him. She smiles at him and motions for him to come in. Suddenly a wall explodes inside the room. Something comes through but he couldn’t see what it is. It fires a laser gun at the pretty lady. He runs up to the lady and caches her. She looks at him. Still having the smile on her face. She reaches up and strokes his face with her hand. Then she falls limp and lifeless.

“Noooo!!” Someone screamed waking up.
“Was it another nightmare again, Mike?” A female voice right next to him said.
“Yea, Sarah.” Mike said.
“Go back to sleep then. We have a big day tomorrow.” Sarah said.
“I’ll try,” Mike said lying back down.

Next morning, Mike wakes up. He sees his dragon Sarah lying next to him. He moves over to her and kisses her on the forehead. He then stands up and stretches for a bit and starts looking for his cluse. He sees his shirt with the puffy sleeves. Goes over to it and picks it up. Sniffs it, shrugs and puts it on. He finds his worn out fabric pants and his rawhide belt by the certon. Picks them up and puts them on. On his cot that he never uses, he sees his rawhide vest and scuffed up muddy boots. Walks on over to them, puts on the vest then the boots. Then he looks for his samurai sword and small shoulder bag. Sees them over by Sarah. Mike quietly walks over to her and takes the sword and bag. Ties the sword onto his belt and puts on the shoulder bag. Then walks over to the certon and draws it back. Steps out into the hallway and draws the certon back.

“Hey, Mike. Wait for me.” Someone yelled down the hall to him. Mike looked over to where the yell was come from. Sees that it was the new guy, Max, that was yelling for him. Max caches up to Mike. “Hey, I want to ask you something.”

“Ok,” Mike said shrugging his shoulders.
“Do you really have Ta’ke with your food?” Max asked.
“Yes. Why do you ask?”
“Just wanted to know. I’ve heard people telling me that you do. Just wanted to make sure it was true.”
“Ah. Hey, who did they pair you with?”
“They haven’t yet,” Max said disappointed.
“Ah. I bet they will pair you with Ragorn.”
“Why?”
“He’s the only dragon with out a dragon boy.”
“Ah,” Max said. Sarah walks out of the stall and bumps into Mike.
“Sorry,” Sarah said.
“It’s ok,” Mike said. “Lets get on to breakfast.”

“Yes, lets go.” Sarah said. All three headed to the cafeteria. When they got there they saw every one sitting and eating. They went over to the servers and got their food and utensils. Sarah picked up the Ta’ke and then they headed over to the last empty table. Mike and Max sat down. Mike took off his bag and set it down next to him. Sarah set the Ta’ke and her food down on the table. She then headed over to the wagon to get two beer barrels and two beer mugs. Picked up the mugs and set them on one of the barrels she was getting. Then picks up that barrel and another one and headed back to the table. She set the barrel with the two mugs on it by Mike and Max then set her barrel on the other side of the table and sat next to Mike. Both Sarah and Mike put some Ta’ke on their food. Max took the mugs, handed one to Mike and then opened the barrel. Mike and Max each scooped up some of the beer into their mugs.

“So, Mike. What are you going to be doing today?” Max asked.

“I’m going to be going on a private walk like I do every day.” Mike answered
“Oh. They allow you to do that?”

“Yes. As long as I come back.”
Max then looks at Sarah’s dull and dinted armor. The armor straps looking brand new and the design on the breastplate looked like it needed to be repainted. He looked closely at it to see what it is. It was a sword with a red serpentine dragon circled around it.

“That’s a nice design you have there,” Max complimented Sarah.
“Thanks,” Sarah said cheerfully.
“Who panted it?” Max asked.
“I did,” Mike said.
“Nice handy work. Can you do anything else?”
“Yes,”
“What?”
“I’m not saying.”

“Oh,” Max said disappointedly. Max put his elbow on the table then rested his head on his hand and sighed. He looked down at the rest of his food and started playing with it. Mike finished his meal and ninth mug of beer then he set his utensils on the plate and picked up his bag and put it back on. He got up and nodded to Max and Sarah.

“See you later,” Mike said leaving. Max continues playing with his meal. Sarah watches him leave. After Mike walks out of the front gate, Sarah stops eating and finishes her beer. Max watches her. She then picks up Mike’s plate and her plate and returns them. Sarah then goes out to the front yard and to start practicing. Max picks up his plate and returns it. Then walks over to her. Sarah starts her daily exercise.




Mike walks up to the clearing in the forest like he always dose. He draws out his sword and sits it in the ground. Then he leans on it waiting for something. Bushes near by start rustling. Mike stands fully up and looks over to the bushes. They stop. Mike picks up his sword and stands ready for anything. A rabbit suddenly hops out. Mike looks at it and relaxes. Some sharp suddenly pokes him in the back.

“Drop your weapon and put your hands up!” someone demanded. Mike drops his weapon and puts his hands up. He then twists around and kicks the sword out of the persons hand really fast. Mike quickly picks up his and thrusts it in front of him.

“I give. You got me.” The person said.
“Nice to see you Draco,” Mike said. “Come out into the opening.”

Draco steps out into the light. He’s a black dragon. His armor is black steel. The shoulder plates have three curving spikes on them. The breastplate has the same design on it, as Sarah’s but the dragon on it is black. The helmet has five spikes on it, well sharpened. Three pointing to the front and two pointing to the back. The three on the front have bloodstains on them. He then walked over to his sword. The blade was a basic design. The hilt was the designed with the blade coming out of a dragon’s mouth with little arms with little hands coming out right behind the head. The handle was made to look like a serpentine dragons body with the spine fins at the right placement for the fingers to have a good grip. He picks it up and puts it into its sheave.

“I see you still have that stupid samurai sword with you,” Draco said.
“I see you’re still stupid,” Mike retorted. “You have the stuff?”
“Yes but I would like to know some stuff first.”
“I’m not telling you any military secrets.”
“Oh. I’m so disappointed. Not!! I just want to know how you’ve been.”
“Oh! I’ve been doing ok. I’m the best fighter ever.”
“Ha! I know you would be. Humans are so week.”
“They still have their strong points.”
“You know I thought you said ‘I’m not going to fight’”
“And I didn’t for a very long time. Just when I meet Sarah.”
“A girl got you involved in it. My my. Is she pretty?”
“Yes, Very pretty. She’s a fighter too. We fight side by side.”
“So she’s a dragon then.”
“Yes.”
“Ha! Never thought you would fall for one.”
“Yes. Neither did I. When I saw her I just fell in love.”

There was a sudden rustle in the bushes. Mike and Draco stop talking and look over at the bushes. They wait and see what comes out. They rustle again. Someone walks out into view. It’s Mark, Mike bitter rival. Thou Mike doesn’t want one. Mark looks at Mike and Draco. Mark's eyes go wide when he sees Draco.

"You're in leag with the Dark Dragon!!! You traitor!!" Mark exclaimed. He then starts running back to the fort.
"Shit!!" Mike angrily said.
"Now you'll be free form them. Ha ha ha ha ha!!!"
"Shut up Draco."

Mike starts running after Mark. They run all the way back to the fort. Mark makes it in first and heads to the CO’s office. Mikes gets there in time to hear his name being shouted out by the CO. He walks up to the office and prepares him self for what is going to happen.

“What’s this I hear about you tell our secrets to the Dark Dragon?” The CO asked.
“I was not telling any secrets.” Mike answered.
“You are the most promising fighter we have but I have to turn you in. You will be taken to jail and then persecuted to fullest of the court. I’m sending for armed guards to come and pick you up. You are to get your things and stay in your room. Your dragon partner will be handed over to someone else.” The CO said. Mike hangs his head down. “I’m sorry about this, son.”

“Yes I know. I guess I’ll be leaving with out the guards and disappearing now. All my things stay for Sarah.” Mike told. He then leaves the office and starts running out of the fort. The CO rushes out.

“Grab him!!” The CO yelled. Mike was to fast for them. He got out before any one reached him. Sarah and Max look at each other in disbelief at what they saw. The CO sees Sarah and Max. He calls them over to him. They walked over to the CO to see what he wanted.

“I’m sorry to say this but Mike is a traitor. You Sarah will be assigned a new partner. Witch will be Max here.” The CO stated. Sarah and Max could not believe what they were hearing.

“But sir. Mike is my only partner. I will not be with any one else!!!” Sarah said.
“You have to Sarah.”
“NO!!!!!” Sarah yelled storming off to her room.
“I’ll go and talk with her sir.” Max said heading to Sarah’s room. The CO nods and sighs. He heads back to his office. When Max reaches Sarah’s room he sees her lying on her bed crying. He comes up to her and starts to gently rubbing her back. Sarah stops cry and turns around.
“I can’t believe that he would do that. I just can’t. He would never do something like this.” Sarah said cracking up.
“You don’t know that for sure. No one dose.”
“I do!! He has told me what his rules are and one of them is not to turn your back on your friends, family and co-workers. He would never betray US!!!”
“He could just have been saying that.”
“He has never told me a lie. NEVER!!!”
“How do you know?”
“He told me when we first met.”
“How did you two meet?”
“Well it all started when me and the first person I was assigned to were going to check out the meteorite that gave the witches and wizards their power. I was about 3 years old and he was about 6 years old. Well as we were walking…

************************************************************

A young female dragon and young boy walking thru a dense forest. The young dragon looks around nervously. The young boy just forges on.

“Why are we here again?” The young dragon asked.
“Because I want to see this supposed meteorite, Ro’Kin. That’s why we are out here.”
“Oh.” Ro’Kin replied.
“I don’t believe that it is real so I’m going to see if I right or not.”
“I think that it is a fules journey, Ray”
“I don’t,” Ray said. A loud noise startled them both. They look around franticly to see what caused it. “I think we should start moving faster.”
“I agrees.” Ko’Kin said starting moving faster with Ray. As they move throe the forest the noise follows them. They quicken their pace. Something exploded behind them causing them to fall and have dirt shower down on them. Both of their harts start pounding. They stay on the ground. Bushes start rustling near them. They look at it. The harts pound even faster. The bush parts a bit reviling two glowing red eyes. Ay and Ro’Kin start screaming. They get off the ground and start running again. More explosions happen behind them leaving holes and showing dirt on them. Then an explosion happened right were Ray was standing. Ro’Kin was thrown away from the blast. When she got up and regained her vision she looked for Ray. She looked around for a wile when she tripped over something. It was Ray. He laid there with a gaping hole in his mid section not moving. Ro’Kin’s eyes go wide then she starts screaming. She then gets up and starts running off. Full of grief and sadness she doesn’t watch were she is going. She ends up falling into a ditch braking her leg. Ro’Kin just lays there wondering when the monster will get her. She lays there for two days waiting for the enviable. It never came. She try’s to get out of the ditch but fails. After two hours of trying she lays back down and starts to cry over every thing that has happened the past two days. After a minute the bushes rustle. Ro’Kin stops crying and looks at the bushes. Out come a 15-year-old looking boy. He looks down into the ditch and sees the little dragon. He gets down into the ditch next to her and binds down next to her.

“You pore thing! How long have you been here?” The person said.
“I have been here for two days.” Ro’Kin replied.
“My!! That has been a long time. Let me help you.” The person said picking Ro’Kin up. “By the way. My name is Mike. What’s yours?”
“I am called Ro’Kin.”
“That’s not a good name for you. Hmmmm. You look more like a Sarah to me. So I’ll call you Sarah.”
“Ok. That’s a good name.” Sarah said falling asleep in Mike’s arms. When she wakens she see that she is in a bed with its covers covering her. She throws them off and sees that her broken lag is in some kind of wooden bind. Then she looks around the room and finds that nice guy named Mike sitting in a char asleep. He wakes up opening one of his eyes and see the little dragon awake. Sits up right and opens the other eye.

“Good morning little one.” Mike said.
“What’s this on my leg?” Sarah asked.
“Its call a splint. Its to help you leg heal after the bone brakes.”
“Oh. When will I be able to walk again?”
“Not for a good two weeks.”

“Oh. Got any food?” Sarah asked rubbing her stomach.

“Yes I do. What do you want?”
“Noodles.”
“And here I was thinking you’d want stake and eggs.”
“I’ll take that instead.”

“One stake and eggs coming up.” Mike said leaving the room. He then comes back after a wile with a try of food. He set it next to Sarah. “There you go.”

“Thank you,” Sarah said.
“Your welcome. So what brings you out this far into the woods?”
“My partner wanted to see the meteorite.”
“That stupid thing?”
“Yep.”
“What happened to your partner?”
“He’s dead.”
“Oh. I’m sorry.”
“I don’t even know how ho died. I think it might have to do with the monster we saw.”
“That monster that you saw was the guardian of the meteorite.”
“Oh. Dose it know magic?”
“Not that I know of.”
“Then what made the fire and the ground fall?”
“Those were mines. Its something you wouldn’t know of.”
“Oh. Why did you help me?”
“I’ll tell you when you start eating your breakfast.”

“Ok.” Sarah said starting to eat the steak and eggs.
“The reason I helped you is because I like helping people. You need help and I did.”
Sarah stayed at Mikes for awile. She liked him so much she did not want to leave him. She liked him. No mater what he said she stayed there. Mike finly stoped asking if she wanted to leave. They stayed to gether.

“……and that’s how we meet.” Sarah finisht the story.
“That’s a very good story.” Max said. Max’s eyes light up with an idea. “Do you think he might have left for his old home?”
“Yes. He might have.” Sarah said perking up. “Let’s go and see tomarrow.”
“That sounds good.”
“I just hope he is there.”
“So do I.”

it's an interesting plotline. I love it. You can make it even better by adding microdetails. For instance, how she motioned for him to come in, and which wall exploded. nice job.
