Dragonborne - 1. Chapter 1

Prologue –

 

I’m surrounded by fire; everything around is burning. I feel no fear, I feel no sadness, no heat but most of all I feel no pain. I reached my hand into a pile of wood from a destroyed cart vendor, I pull my hand back turning it over, and see no injury. Looking down at myself I gasp, watching my clothing burn away until there is nothing left.

“Hey you there it’s dangerous we need to get out of here before they come back.” A soldier runs over to me shaking me out of my daze. Another soldier comes up to us and gawks at me,

“This cannot be, is he all that is left?” He says quietly before turning and whispering to the first soldier

“Can you tell me your name?” He asks as he kneels in front of me

I look up at him confused before images I can decipher flash before my eyes. “I don’t know,” I answer weakly before the images flash again. I grab the sides of my head in pain before finally succumbing to darkness.

Five Years Later

 

“Levi you are going to be late for school.”

“Oh come on mom do I have to, I’m all but done at this point. I don’t even know why I still go at this point.” Levi pouted as I came down the stairs dressed for school.

“Humor me please, it’s not for much longer.” His mom said as she placed a kiss on the top of his head before handing over lunch and car keys. “Home by 5 pm young man.”

Levi waved at his mom running out the door and jumped into his car. “Young master! I’ve found you at last.” He dropped his keys and looked around as the voice echoed in his head. Grabbing his keys and shaking his head Levi started up his car and headed to school.

The rest of the day seemed to progress as normal with nothing of interest to note as he went about his day as he made his way to the lunchroom.

“Earth to Levi are you still in there?” Levi gasped in surprise as his best friend Roy waved his hand in front of his face.

“Sorry Roy I’ve had a weird day and I can’t shake the feeling that someone is watching me”

Roy raised his eyebrows at me while looking around. “I mean even after all this time you do still stand out a bit, don’t you think?”

He rolled his eyes and ignored Roy, though he wasn’t wrong. His caramel skin and silver hair didn’t help. He had tried to dye it several times but no colors would ever set before he finally just accepted it. Taking a bite of his sandwich he noticed not one but two people unfamiliar to him. As if they could tell they were being watched they both looked Levi’s way. When he caught eyes with the dark-haired boy, he quickly averted his eyes, but when he locked eyes with the redhead, he gave me a glare that sent chills down my spine.

“Roy, who are those two? I don’t think I have ever seen them before and at the end of the year no less that is super strange.”

“Dude you must not pay attention much, they are both juniors and they have been here for months.” Levi looked at Roy like he had lost his mind. The school wasn’t that big and they lived in a fairly small town. Levi was sure he would have known if someone new let alone two came into town. He looked up again and they were both gone.

“Young master you must flee!” Shocked, it was that voice again. The sense of dread and urgency in the voice was deeply concerning. Looking up at Roy he noticed he wasn’t moving. None of the students were and it was starting to freak him out.

He ran through the halls making my way to the exit, noticing that it wasn’t just the kids in the cafeteria that were not moving it was everyone. He was almost to the car when he was thrown off balance by an invisible force before spiraling to the ground.

“It’s time to finish what should have ended years ago.” Levi looked up and it was the redhead seen before. His hand was outstretched and giving off a faint glow and Levi found himself unable to get up from the ground. “Now you will perish.” He lifted his other hand that was now engulfed it was looked like flames and hurled it towards him.

Opening his eyes Levi found himself in a giant crater the remnants of flames surrounding him. Getting to his feet Levi found he was completely unharmed not even a trace of burns of any kind. “So, he was right you are indeed a dragonborne, and now that I know the truth, I can slay you without hesitation.”

Levi stared in awe as the red-haired boy pulled a glowing blue blade from almost out of thin air. “As a knight of the realm, you shall be struck down by forces of nature.” He leaped into the air his sword now crackling with lightning and swung down.

Levi let out a scream in fear and raising his hands and closing his eyes bracing for the impact. Instead of pain, he felt a dull force and heard the clang of metal hitting metal.

“Impossible, the Dragonborne only has immunity to one element! He withstood the fire; lighting should have been more effective” The boy yelled in surprise.

Opening his eyes Levi gasped as the appearance of his arms covered in vibrant cyan-colored what could only describe as scales.

“You step away from him this instant!” That voice, the one which had been heard in his head. He turned to see a regal-looking man who stood about six feet tall his long black coat tails blowing in the wind and…wings?

“Merlin! You will not interfere again I will do away with you both and end this once and for all.” The boy bellowed before sending streams of fire and lightning hurling towards Merlin.

He spread his wings covered in shimmering gold before a massive force caused the boy's attack to fizzle out. “You petulant child, you know not who you deal with and the power I wield.”

In a flash the boy was lifted in the air his shimmering blade lay at his feet gasping for breath. Merlin had a tail was wrapped around the boy’s neck as he placed a hand on the boy’s chest.

“Bastion!” the dark-haired one bellowed as he watched his friend useless struggle.

“That will be quite enough!”
