Southern Lands
It has been 5 full years since Akito became Kira's guard and he been always with the young princess. He would nap while she took her lessons or watch the princess play with the dragon. He felt at peace in the castle that she lived in. In fact the fox demon had fallen for the princess and as yet to realize it. He didn't really think about it as he lived in peace. There was rarely any problems in the realm that he came to live in.
But was the realm truly at peace now that there was two rulers and not just one? Kue didn't think so. Every now and then, he would feel something off. The black dragon looked to the northern skies as he felt it again. His deep red eyes glared at the clouds as he tried to think what it was.
“Kue… Is something wrong?” Yune asked softly as she walked up behind him. She gently ran her hand around his back where his wings would be and it would always get him to look at her yet it didn't this time.
He sighed softly. “It's something with the dragons of the north… It don't seen right.” He said, sounding a bit off.
She thought a bit then smiled sweetly. “I'll send word to Rain and ask her to check in.”
Kue looked at her, eyeing her slightly then shook his head. “No, send word to Lyne. Rain would be useless...” He said as he turned and walked away, heading somewhere quiet.
Yune blinked a bit. “This is really odd since Kue isn't this...nice nor quiet..” She then giggled and smiled. “Oh well.”
Northern lands
Mountain areas(un-named at this time)
Lyne walked quietly up to where she felt the odd feeling coming from. Yue followed behind her, looking around as he was unsure of things. She felt just how unsure he was and stopped, turning to him.
Yue blinked lightly as he stopped right near her. “Something wrong?”
She shook her head then held out her left hand to him. “Nothing. I just want to calm you down a bit.”
He nodded and took her hand without saying anything. He didn't understand it but her touch made him calm, really calm and it was odd.
She smiled softly and linked their fingers before walking with him up a bit more.
It took another 10 minutes before Lyne and Yue got to the spot where the odd feeling was coming from. It was a huge cave opening that a few black dragons laid in front of. One of the dragons noticed them and went inside. Soon a young looking male walked out.
Lyne and Yue bowed to the young male then he coughed when they stood up. Lyne unlinked her hand from Yue's hand and walked closer to him. “Lord Ran… I came here from a request..”
Ran stepped close to her and nodded. “It's fine that you showed up… but why the southern dragon?” He asked coldly. Ran had long black hair and cold red eyes. He wear long black robes with a hint of gold. Ran was the leader of the northern Black Dragon clan as well as it’s last living elder.
She sighed softly. “He is my protector and mate. So please over look it. Since it was his brother that requested that I pay you and your clan a visit.”
He nodded slowly. “So why are you here?”
“There is an odd feeling coming from this area. It’s effecting the southern dragons as well as I.”
The Elder thought a bit. “It might be from the latest birth...”
Lyne and Yue blinked a bit. “A baby?” They both asked,
Ran shook his head. “No. Twins.”
Lyne gasped softly, covering her mouth with her left hand. “That’s rare… even here in Elyasia...”
“Yes… But rarer to us dragons...” He thought a bit then turned. “Wait here.” With that Ran walked back into the cave. The dragons outside yawned and laid their heads down.
Lyne turn to Yue and reached over to him. “It’ll be fine. They don’t seem to care anymore.”
Yue looked at her hand then the dragons watching them then back at her hand. Slowly he walked over and grabbed her hand, eyeing one of the dragons.
After a few moments, a young female holding two babies walked out of the cave with Ran walking behind her. They stopped in front of Lyne and Yue.
The female looked at Ran then over at the two. “These are the twins...” She said quietly. Her voice was soft and low. She had short black hair and ice blue eyes. She was dressed in a long flowing black dress with long waving sleeves.
Lyne looked at the boys and blinked a few times. There was odd magic feeling coming from them, but they were just dragons...right? She didn’t know. “Who is their father, if you don’t mind me asking?”
The female hesitated but soon shook her head. “I do not know… My mate has been dead for a year now...”
“I’m sorry about this...” The mage said softly. “I didn’t know about any dragon deaths…. But the twins are...giving off...something odd for dragons...”
Ran glared softly. “How..odd?”
She thought a bit, thinking of the best way to say it, but soon sighed as she shouldn’t. “The boys are giving off magic auras, unlike what dragons normally have.”
The elder nodded slowly. “That is true. They were born the human way...unlike other dragons.”
She blinked a bit. “They wasn’t….born from eggs?”
The female dragon shook her head. “No… I been human since you did that order….so...”
“I see...” That got Lyne thinking as she looked at the sleeping twins. Then she blinked, getting an idea. “What if their a wish from your late mate?”
The female dragon blinked a few times and looked at Ran who blinked as well. They looked at each other then back at Lyne. “Can the dead do that?” The Elder asked.
Lyne nodded. “It’s rare but it’s happens if the dead one loved their mate that much. The magic in this realm will take the pure wish and have it happen...”
“A-are you going to take them….?”
The mage shook her head. “No, but raise them the best that you can. Call for me or one of the princesses for help.”
The female dragon nodded and slowly went back to the cave.
Ran sighed softly. “Thank you, Lyne. But once the twins show any magic, I will send them to you...”
Lyne sighed. “I don’t want to give her anymore pain...but very well.”
