Prologue
It was dark over the land the crescent moon shone ever so brightly as the a black shadow flew across is surface, its was flying ever nearer to its destination, heading for a place that only few know as a myth or a legend the being in question was a black dragon, his scales shined as the moon light hit as the dragon roared lowering closer to the ground.
The dragon in question noticed something as a dragons eye could see more than normal beings, was a faint shimmer among the trees. Gliding down to were he had last seen the shimmer spotted it a few yards away landing, he slowly made his way over trudging through the dense forest he finally arrived but it wasn't what he had expected it was a small unicorn colt with a dark purple and black striped mane and tail wrapped in a small blanket and the bit that had made the shimmering was a amulet shaped like a dragon, the dragon mused at what he found he could just leave the small thing its not like he should do anything… a small gurgle stopped him in his tracks as he looked at the small unicorn opening his eyes to the staring dragon with wonder.
The dragon in question was now drawn to the unicorns eyes there were Draconic in nature this lead him to wonder he picked the small colt and cut the cloth gently as to not hurt the child and he was correct in is assumption there where more draconic like features about this child one was its small dragon wings as well as the small scale or two in places.
He now was interested if this child was draconic in relation then should he take it, he could take it and raise the child as a pet or a servant or a guard after all he was Draconis king of Darken, he had just inherited the throne from his father and knew that there would be hard times ahead for the young dragon. Another gurgle came from the child as he craned his neck he noticed that the child was touching his talons and seamed to enjoy them, he smiled a smile that he once for thought he would never have again.
As the smile grew on Draconis’s lips he had an idea if he made this young child his heir now there would be less problems the other dragons knew that if they challenged him and one they could take over but if he had a hatching, there could be no challenge, though there might be attempts on this child's life he was going to risk it and take the child. Picking up the child he placed him on his snout then he was about to set off just as the colt started crying reaching out to the ground he looked on the ground to see the amulet he mused as he picked it up and gave it to the colt he in return gave a gurgle and started to chew on the amulet happily as they set off into the sky.
It took a few hours to reach Darken, the land was harsh few patches of vegetation could be seen but the rest was ash and volcanic rubble, he was close great walls could be seen in the distance that sheltered the capital city of Darken, Dragoni turn. He flew over the city as dragons moved from place to place, he reached the entrance of the tower where two dragons clad in armour were waiting for his arrival, as Draconis landed both dragons lowered there head “ My liege we had thought the worst“ the first said in turn.
Draconis nodded “ yes I ran into something…..interesting.”
"The maids have prepared the royal quarters for you” the guards said in sync.
"Ah yes please send word to the council I have something to tell them," They both nodded as they lead draconis to the council chambers at the top of the tower, the council were very old dragons they guide the king in power council members are chosen at birth and a raised in everything so when it becomes a time one of the old dragons dies or steps down a new one will fill his place to guide the king. The council chamber was circler with five dragons who took there respected places around the room.
“My liege I believe you have something to show us“ the Eldest said.
“Yes I do“ draconis said as he lifted the sleeping filly off his back and onto the cold floor.
There were few gasps and whisperers among the council “Where did you find it“ the eldest asked.
“In the fringe by the firelight woods he was alone with only a blanket and that amulet and I am also have something to announce I have chosen him as my heir “ there were gasps all around the room.
“Your not serious are you that pony thing as your heir “ the youngest council member spook up.
“Remember your place“ draconis growled.
“Are you sure my lord“ the eldest said again now walking up to examine the sleeping child.
“I'm sure he interests me“ draconis said with a small smile.
The Elder hearing this also smiles “He does seem interesting doesn't he“ still examining the small thing.
“Have you gone mad its more equine than dragon it shouldn't be allowed“ the youngest barked
“Agthar remember we here to guide not to choose what are king wishes” the eldest says
“But it its Zether” zether gave agthar a hard cold stare silencing the young council member
“Besides I do see what the kings sees in the little one all right I will make the announcement my lord in the morning“ Zether says walking back to his place draconis smiles for the fourth time tonight picking up the small filly and placing him on his back.
Draconis made his way through the corridors, guards at every turn he mused at the security his father had put in place. He finally reached his quarters there were a few torches lighting up the rooms as well as a fireplace, his bed was a mound of cloth and cushions as he laid on his bed he thought about the sleeping one on his back, finally he craned his neck to see the sleeping equine “Goodnight Drago….. my Son“ he said as he laid his head done to rest.
