Chapter 1: The dragon talk and the abyss
"You did what!?" Longan dragon's boomed though the royal room, echoing into their ears.
"I needed to." Papaya dragon says back defensively, but sounds less intimidating.
"Why? Why did you need to do it so bad? Why did you need to fuck us up?" Longan asks him, getting up and walking off his perch.
Papaya swallows, taking a few steps back. "Becausse he was hurt, becausse he hass potential, and becausse now I own his sssoul." He says, adding a hiss at the end.
Longan laughs in disbelief. "Ha, wow. You feel... merciful for a cookie? After all they did to us? Wow." He says, his voice quivering with the same as someone who have had their life long promise broken.
Anana dragon steps between them, waved Longan away and set his eyes on papaya dragon. "I'm sso dissappointed in you, but alsso in myself; for not sstopping you or protecting it more. But have you truly forgotten it'ss importance?" Anana speaks, voice sounding calm but had disenchanted in it.
"Yeah, I am not forgetting the passt." He says, cheeks burning red from all the embarrassment he has felt today.
"Okay, then us why you did this! You have no reason not to." Longan dragon says, staring into papaya dragon's slit eyes.
"Okay..." he starts voice shaking. "Okay., firsst I'll tell you what happened. Then maybe you'll undersstand." Papaya sighed then says:
"He wass hurt, a bunch of idiots had beat him up, they from hiss village. He wass young. The idiots had chassed him up to volcano where I was ressting. And I watched them. The boy was yelling asss the oldesst one pusshed him down and dipped his hand into a crater of lava. The others cheered him on, letting it go on. Then the oldesst one took off hiss fire proof bootss and made him walk though the burning hot rockss that cut and burned hiss sskin. He sscreamed asss a hot rock pierced though hiss sskin, flessh and even bone. He tripped and fell into the lava pit asss on of the boyss laughed. But they sstopped laughing asss sscreamss of agony came from it assss he got burned to death. They ran away with no intentionss of coming back. I ussed my magic to help him, and once he got out he wass about to die. But I ssaw the power in him, the courage, the fearlessness, and hiss feissty sspirit. Sso i ssaved him by giving him the dragon eye for the exchange of hiss ssoul."
Lotus dragon bit her tongue. "Ugh, thatss... ew" she said and tried to get the image out of her head.
Lychee dragon got up too now. "So what doess the ssoul do? Jusst a decoration?" She asks, exaggerating the question with her hands.
Papaya smiled. "Ohhoho, I'm thrilled that you assked!" He yells with excitement. Then he closes his eyes and says a few words in dragontongue, then out of nowhere a small cookie spawns in the middle on the room.
He has fiery dragon wings and sharp fangs. His skin is a almost pastel red with black burn running up his arms. He has dragon ears and most importantly he has a staff with the dragons eye.
Papaya dragon flaps his wings proudly. "It allowss me to ssummon him!" He says.
Lotus dragon's eyes widen. "I didn't know you meant this young..." she says with a broken whisper.
He looked about 10 to 13 or something.
Anana dragon nodded. "You may be able to ssummon him, but he'ss to young to manage hiss fire powerss, you know all the fire power in the world iss controlled by him now?!" Anana asks.
Papaya looks away. "Jusst give it ssome time and he will masster it." Papaya promises.
Lychee is about to fight back, hundreds of comebacks at her command, but Longan cut her off.
"Fine, let's give it 5oo years." He says, agreeing to his deal.
Lychee chokes on a bone. "What???!!!" She asks. "500 yearss?? Thatss sso long!!!" She yells again.
"It'ss very sshort for ssomeone masstering all the fire in the world, plus he'ss immortal so he'll only look a little older." Ananas tells her with calmness in his voice.
Lychee dragon rolls her eyes. "Fine..." she agrees.
Papaya smirks and flys away. "Bye!"
~>゜)ーーー like an hour later bih
Longan dragon's claws clinked against the rocks and roots as he approaches the other cookie god.
"Millennial tree." He says, starting the conversation without a greeting.
"Yes longan?" Millennial tree asks, keeping their eyes closed but facing his direction.
"After 500 years he better be able to control fire ir I'll rip his heart out." Longan hisses, threatening him.
"Thats up to fate to decide, we cannot control whether he will master it or not." Millennial tree tells him.
"Sure branch."
>゜))))彡 498 years later...
Wind archers heart was racing. He had felt the change in the air and the presence of a living thing but nothing else.
He called out into the darkness of the dense pine forest; "Show yourself."
This night patrol was only going to get worse. A noise came from the sky abyss, he called it that because underneath the trees there is darkness and quiet- but above the trees is dangerous cake monsters, various types of birds, winged cookies, ect.
Wind archer jumped onto a familiar tree and made his way into the abyss, bow ready to kill.
A noise made his head whip to the side as a huge wyvern growled at him.
Turns out a wyvern had been living in the abyss and was woken up by wind archer.
Wyverns weren't rare necessarily but they were strong and were the ancient servers of the dragons during the age of the great dragons.
Wind archer pointed his bow at it and it growled but didn't attack.
"Okay... you don't fight me, I don't fight you, let's just co-exist." Wind archer offers but remembers that he can talk to forest animals but water animals, space animals, and dragons/wyverns couldn't understand him clearly.
"Um." Wind archer mumbles as he thinks of a solution.
Suddenly the wyverns yelps as its blood goes flying. Wind archer jumps back and points its bow at the new threat.
In front of him is a pink and teal dragon. His heart sinks. "A dragon...?" He asks.
Dragons are extremely rare, only about 7 of them are living on earthbread at the moment, and the chance of seeing them is near impossible because they spend most of their time on their own islands or caves.
But just as wind archer has heard; the dragons have become more active the last few years, more sightings and interactions with each other.
"Yeah, have a problem with that deity boy?" The dragon says back, their thick tails curving upwards and her black eyes slit.
"No it's just I haven't seen on in forever." Wind archer says with his protective firewall of a tone.
"Yeah, yeah. Haven't you seen fire boy though?" Her tone is playful but has deadly curiosity along with it.
"Yeah, he is a deity like me. But he isn't dragon." Wind archer says then asks a question: "wait how do you know him?"
The dragon smiles, puffs out her chest, spreads her wings and answers. "How do I know him? I'm lychee dragon, bassically hiss ssisster! We go way back, ssince he was a kid! And he'ss part dragon! He even has a dragon form!!" She says, wondering how he doesn't know.
Wind archers eyes widen. "He has never told us that, sure he has fangs and stuff but... never anything about a dragon form." He says, the grip on his bow tightens from the information.
Lychee dragon takes a bite of her wyvern prey. "You know" *chew* "becausse you're a deity, protecter thing; I will ansswer a quesstion or tell you ssomething in dragontongue." She says with a twinkle in her eye.
"Okay... answer me this, what was the age of the great dragons like?" Wind archer asks. His hand starts to shake but he calms down, 'calm down it's a dragon, a different one.' He tells himself.
Lychee smiles. "It was amazing! Wings roamed the sky freely, no fear of a cookie's blade! And our rulers were always so kind." She says, slowly trailing off.
Wind archer nods slowly before getting another question. "Wait, what do you mean 'rulers'?" The elf-cookie asks.
"Our rulers were fair and kind, with royal magic and were oh so strong. We had two at the time I was alive: Longan dragon, and his mother, but her name is like a distant memory now." She responds, taking more wyvern meat and is about to fly away.
"Wait! One more question; is there a way to bring the great dragon age back?" Wind archer asks, his hand reaching out towards her, even though theres no way he would be able to reach.
"The dragons bead knows that secret, so ask your fire friend." Lychee dragon responds before waving her tail and flying away.
"Okay..." he mutters to himself and jumps back bellow the coverage of the trees. "I will talk to him." He says, still a little shocked and shaken.
"And I wonder how the dragon knew him..."
