2024-10-29 19:42:56The next day Abari had to leave to collect some herbs from the forest and since she could not leave Binaru alone in the state he was in David had to stay behind to watch him as she felt more comfortable leaving David alone with Binaru now knowing that Binaru would not hurt him.
She also hoped that he would tell David about the horrors he had experienced in his time as a Golden Dragon Guard, hoping that upon hearing those stories he would be discouraged to leave.
David who was now alone with Binaru was free to ask him any question and Abari was there to stop him.
“Who are you?” asked David.
Binaru just smiled before answering David’s question, saying, “My name is Binaru and I’m a Golden Dragon Guard”.
“What is Golden Dragon Guard?” asked David.
Binaru smiled once more before answering David’s question, find David’s curiosity amusing.
“The Golden Dragon Guards are a group of dragon warrior who had taken an oath to fight and protect the worlds from the dark dragon warriors” said Binaru.
David upon hearing the words ‘dark dragon warrior’ began to feel as though he had those words before even Abari had never told him anything about the dark dragon warriors, never even speaking the words ‘dark dragon warrior’ in his presence.
“Dark dragon warriors, who are they?” asked David.
Binaru sighed, not knowing how to describe the dark dragon warriors to David, as the only words he could use to describe them were as vile, terrible monsters that only brought chaos and destruction to where ever they went.
“Some dragon warriors are not like you, me or even Abari, some are cruel and heartless, craving only to destroy and cause pain and misery, those are who we call dark dragon warriors” said Binaru.
Upon hearing what Binaru said about the dark dragon warriors a memory flashed from within David’s mind, given him a small glimpse of his forgotten past.
In the memory David was running deep in the forest at night and was being chase by a group of dragon warriors who rode their dragons high up in the above him.
The dragon warriors soon caught up to him, surrounding him with their dragons and blocking all paths he could have used to run.
The man who led the dragon warriors then came down from his dragon; he was a fire dragon warrior who wore black armor and crust of a dark dragon on the chest of his armor.
He smiled at David before slowly approaching but before he could reach him David memory became unclear and fogy once again.
“David, are you okay?” asked Binaru what had been watching David the past few moments as he drifted deep into his mind.
“I’m fine” said David with a smile to reassure Binaru that he was alright.
“Can you tell me more about the dark dragon warriors” asked David.
Binaru sighed once more, not wanting to continue to tell David more about the dark dragon warriors, he wanted to refuse but upon seeing the eagerness in David’s face he felt persuaded to continue even though he did not want to.
“The dark dragon warriors are servants of the Dark Dragon Lord, a very power dragon warrior” said Binaru.
“Abari has told me about him back when we first met, he is one of the only two dragon warriors that possesses the power of all four elements right,” said David.
“Correct, he once led an army of dark dragon warriors and attempted to conquer and rule the entire world but he failed and was defeated by the Golden Dragon warrior, the only person that possessed a power that comatched the Dark Dragon Lord” said Binaru.
“After the Dark Dragon Lord was defeated, his army of dark dragon warriors was expected to fall with him but they didn’t. Somehow the dark dragon warriors still managed to survive and continued from where their master stopped, spreading chaos and misery were ever they went” said Binaru.
“Oh” said David with a look of both fear and sadness on his face, wondering how people as cruel and wicked like the dark dragon warriors existed.
“The Golden Dragon Guard was created by the four Golden Dragon Generals to deal with the threat of dark dragon warriors” said Binaru.
“Golden Dragon Generals, who are they?” asked David.
Binaru smiled once again at David’s curiosity before saying, “you are quite the curious boy aren’t you”.
David just smiled upon hearing what Binaru said, wanting nothing more than for him to continue the story.
“It’s not that I’m curious, I just want to know more about the world, I’ve been staying in the house for a very long time seeing nothing but a small part of the world I live in,” said David.
Binaru just smiled at David upon hearing what he had to say, understanding that his curiosity came from a longing to see the world.
“The Golden Dragon Generals are the four dragon warriors who fought alongside the Golden Dragon warrior, James Finiton the dragon general of fire, Eric Owin the dragon general of earth, Marina Finiton the dragon general of water and finally Victor Supriyi the dragon general of air. They created the Golden Dragon Guards after the Golden dragon warrior fell defeating the Dark Dragon Lord all those years ago” said Binaru.
“Wow, I can’t believe it, so much has happened and I knew nothing about it” said David with his head bowed down, unable to believe that there was some much going on in the world outside.
Binaru, not wanting to continue the conversation about the dark dragon warriors as he did not wish to speak more about them decide d to change the conversation.
“You have quite the curious mind David” said Binaru.
“Yeah, Abari doesn’t really like that about me, I think she is worried that it would get some kind of trouble because of it” said David.
“True in the wrong circumstances you could but in the right ones it may make you one of the greatest dragon warriors to ever live” said Binaru.
“You really think so” said David with smile on his, wondering if it was truly possible for him to be one of the greatest dragon warriors to ever live.
“Yes, I do. Tell me child do you know anything about the Dragon Academy” asked Binaru, thinking about how a promising young dragon warrior like himself could accomplish great things through the right guidance and the Dragon Academy may be the idlest of places for him to do so.
“Dragon Academy, what is that?” asked David, not knowing what the Dragon Academy was.
“It’s like a boarding school for young promising dragon warriors like you. There you can learn all you need to know about dragon warriors like I and yourself, including the vast history of the dragon warriors” said Binaru.
David lit up with excitement upon hearing what Binaru said about the Dragon Academy.
Binaru smiled upon seeing the excited look on David’s face.
“You know; I could take you there if you want, that is after I recover. It’s a bit far from here but we can get there within a day’s time if we go by dragon” said Binaru.
David thought for a moment, the offer to go to place where he could learn more about himself and the rich history behind dragon warriors was a tempting offer but taking it would mean leaving Abari.
David felt torn, the offer Binaru made if he accepted would be his chance to not only see a world but also know more about it through the Dragon Academy but if he accepted, he would have to leave Abari behind and after every she had done for him, providing a home and taking care of him for the past few years, how could he just leave her but then an again Binaru’s offer might be the only chance he had to see the world.
Binaru could see that David was struggling to make a decision and understood David had to choose between fulfilling his greatest wish or to leave someone you truly cared about.
“Don’t make a decision so soon David, take your time and think long and hard about it. I see great promise in you and would love it you were to accept my offer but I would also your decision if you decide to refuse it” said Binaru, not wanting to put pressure on David.
“Alright, I’ll think about it” said David before he made his way to the door, wanting to leave to think more about the choice he was to make concerning Binaru’s offer.
“David” said Binaru stopping David in his tracks.
“The responsibility place upon me as Golden Dragon Guard may not allow come back to you to make this offer again, I am only telling you this so you will understand that the offer I’m making to you might never come again” said Binaru.
David just sighed upon hearing what Binaru said leaving the room.
David spent the rest of the day in his room, thinking look and hard about the offer Binaru made him, understanding fully well it may never come again.
Soon the evening can and the sun be dim as it slowly made it’s was down, giving way to the darkness of the night.
Abari had just arrived, coming home late because David was not with her to help her pick the herd in forest.
Soon it was time for dinner and Abari arrived at the dinner table after taking some food to Binaru only to see David seated on the dinner table barely touching the food on his plate.
“What’s wrong David, aren’t hungry?” asked Abari wondering why David wasn’t eating his food.
“No, it’s just that, I’m just thinking about something,” said David.
“About?” asked Abari.
“Nothing, it’s not important” said David, not wanting to tell her about the offer Binaru made, knowing it would break her heart if she knew he was considering leaving her.
“Wow, that was a very convincing lie” said Abari sarcastically, not believing what David said.
“Now seriously, what’s wrong and don’t lie to me” said Abari.
David sighed knowing he could lie to her but if he told her the truth it would hurt her.
David, not wanting to hurt Abari or lie to her decided to tell her the truth in a way she would not understand and know about Binaru’s offer.
“What if you had to make a choice between two things that were very important to you but could only choose one of them” asked David.
“Well, it depends, what are the two things?” asked Abari.
“A dream and a person really close to you,” said David.
“Where is this coming from David?” said Abari upon hearing what David said, wondering why David was thinking about making such a decision.
“Nowhere, I was just wondering that’s all” said David, hoping that Abari believes his lie this time.
“Hmm” said Abari, think for a few moments.
“Well, it depends then on who the person is, how important they are to you and what the dream is and how important it is to you” said Abari.
“And if this person is the most important person in your life but the dream is something that you really want and you have an opportunity to get it but the opportunity won’t last long and once it’s gone; it’s gone for good,” said David.
“Hmm, well then I would say then it all depends on the person making the decision, he should think about the person and the dream, and then decide on which one is more important to him, the dream or the person than make a decision based on that” said Abari.
David just sighed upon hearing Abari’s answer as it didn’t really help decide.
“Thanks, Abari” said David with a weak smile on his face before turning his attention to his food and began to eat.
After eating David went to bed with a deep sigh as he still hadn’t decided on whether or not he would take Binaru’s offer.
He didn’t want to Abari but at the same time he wanted to go the Dragon Academy to learn more about himself and the world, it was his chance to leave the village and explore the world, a chance if he didn’t take, he feared would never come again.
David decided to sleep, hoping that by morning the next day when he wakes up, he would be able to make a decision.

As David slept, he had a strange dream, similar to the memory that came to him when Binaru spoke about the dark dragon warriors.In his dream David saw himself standing face to face with the fire dragon warrior he saw in his memory, surrounded by dragon warriors in the forest.“Come with us now boy and we promise not to harm you” said the fire dragon warrior.“No, you can’t make me,” said David.“You will come with us whether you want to or not” said the fire dragon warrior before he grabbed David by the arm.“Let go of ME!!!!!!” said David as his voice slowly became as deep and ferocious as that of a dragon and his eyes glowing with violet light.After David spoke a flash of light consumed everything for a brief moment but when the light began to disappear, David witnessed something that would send chills down any man’s spine.All the dragon warriors that surrounded him laid down on the ground dead and lifeless, some of them were impaled with spike made out of stone that sprouted out

Dragon warriors were not known only for their tremendous strength and power; they were also remarkable fast healers as fatal wounds that would take months to heal in a regular man would take a few days to heal in a dragon warrior because of this Binaru’s wounds healed fast and he was able to recover in a matter of days. It was now time for David to make a decision as Binaru, dress in his Golden Dragon Guard armor, stood at the door ready to leave, having been fully healed of all his injuries. David and Abari stood before him to see him off. David though, had his head bowed down as still hadn’t decided yet and he knew he had a make up his mind fast before Binaru left. “Here you go” said Abari as she gave him a bag filled with food. “What’s this for?” asked Binaru. “Think of it as a thank you for fighting to keep our world safe from the threat of the dark dragon warrior” said Abari. Binaru smiled upon hearing what Abari said before saying, “Thank you, honestly I don’t know what I

David and Binaru flew through the skies, above the clouds on fire dragon’s back. As the rode David looked down to see the magnificent fields, hills, valleys and rivers below where creatures of all kind lived, like the green antelope with fur as green as the grass it grazed upon and antlers that resembled the wooden branches of a tree or the serpent, a snake like creature that lived the rivers below that had the ability spew out massive jets of water out of its mouth. David then looked up to sky above his head and saw colorful birds called rainbow canaries who sang melodious as they flew passed them. David could not believe how incredible and mystical the world as never before seen such breath taking, beautiful and mystifying lands before. The sun soon began to slowly disappear and the darkness of the night began to consume everything.

After riding through the sky for a long time as night began to fall David heard Binaru say, “take a look David, we are finally here”. David then looked down below and saw massive building that bared the crust of all five dragons; a water dragon, fire dragon, air dragon, earth dragon and a massive golden dragon at the center. David then realized that the building must have been the Dragon Academy Binaru told him about. As they flew down closer to the Dragon Academy David noticed what looked like an ancient golden temple not too far from the academy. “What is that?” asked David, pointing at the golden temple. “That, it’s the Temple of The Golden Dragon Warrior, not much is known about it other than its doors can only be opened by a golden dragon warrior. Legend says that within the temple walls is hidden an artifact of great and immense power” said Binaru. “What kind of artifact?” asked David? “No more knows for sure though rumors say the artifact hidden inside the temple was wha

David was dragged through the empty academy’s halls by Flani. “Where are you taking me?” asked David as Flani continued to drag him. “The room you’ll be staying in while you are allowed to stay within the academy’s walls” said Flani. Flani dragged David through the hallway, passing different rooms. As they walked through the hall way David noticed strange symbols on the doors on some of the rooms they passed, some had a symbol of fire, some of earth, some of water and others of air. “Why are they symbols on those doors?” asked David. “Those doors lead to the rooms where the students of the academy stay, the ones with the fire symbol are for fire dragon warriors, water for water dragon warriors, and earth for earth dragon warriors. All the students in the academy are currently fast asleep, observing the curfew, all students of the academy are expected to fast asleep before the tenth hour at night” said Flani. Flani then took him to one of the rooms that had an air symbol on it.

The academy, though could be consider a single school made for young dragon warriors, it was actually made up of different schools within it, these schools were designed to teach and train specific dragon warriors. The school of water trained water dragon warriors like Susan, the school of fire trained fire dragon warriors like Steven, the angry boy that almost fought David, the school of earth trained earth dragon warriors like the boy with black spectacle and finally the air school thought air dragon warriors like David and Flora. Flora had shown David the other schools of the Dragon Academy, explaining what they were and warning him to never go to any other school apart from the school for air dragon warriors as students were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of any other school apart from theirs. David felt bad upon hearing that he couldn’t go to the other schools, wanting to explore more about the Dragon Academy and also to maybe pay a visit to Susan in the water school.

Once they returned back to the Dragon Academy Flora informed David that they had one more class to go to, combat class, the all class every student from the different schools of the Dragon Academy had to attend. David upon hearing that there was a class where all the students of the Dragon Academy were allowed to attend together became excited as it meant he would be able to see Susan again. Flora took David to combat class, once there David saw that all students in the academy had gathered there. The students there were participating in different forms of combat practice, whether it was in the form of light sparring, weapon training or practicing their combat skills on a fighting dummy. David looked at the students as they practiced their combat training and couldn’t help but wonder why the academy would want to train their students in the art of combat.

Akiri was about to answer David but Flora stopped him, knowing that if Akiri started talking they would be stuck in the library all day listening to Akiri’s history lesson about the Elementary wars. “No need Akiri, heaven only knows I can’t take another one of your long and boring lectures. David, the Elementary wars was a war that happened thousands of years ago, back then the dragon warrior

Once everything had settled down the Golden Dragon Guard left with the bodies of the Golden Dragon Generals so as to give them a proper burial befitting them as the legendary Golden Dragon General.Before they left, however, they informed the Head Master that they would return the remaining students of the academy the next day and would be searching for the dark dragon warriors that attacked the academy.Binaru said his goodbye to David, still a bit taken aback by the fact that the little wind dragon warrior he had met a few weeks ago turned out to be the son of the most powerful dragon warrior of them all.“It still can’t believe you’re really her son,” said Binaru.“Neither can I, to be honest,” said David with a small smile on his face as he recalled how a few days ago he believed that he was just a regular wind dragon warrior, only to find out he was actually one of the most powerful dragon warriors to ever live.“I wonder how Abari will take the news when she finds out,” said Bin

David continued to scream out and yell like a raging beast, releasing more and more power further damaging the already plummeting sky dragon as he did so.As his screams echoed through the sky dragon as it descended down from the sky, Susan, who was lying on the floor not too far away from him, upon hearing the ferocious roar of David’s yells dimly opened her eyes, barely conscious but was able to at least make out and recognized the image of David standing with raw power emitting from his body along with the five rings that surrounded.Susan upon witnessing the state David was in wondered if this was the power the Head Master told them.She continued looking at her dear friend with tired and weak eyes, barely able to keep them open.She tried mustering the strength to call out to him but her voice was too weak to utter a single word.She then tried to lift her hands up in an attempt to crawl to him but her tired hands just collapsed on the ground the moment she tried to move them.Su

David slowly opened up his eyes and found himself falling into a dark and empty abyss, sinking deeper and deeper in to the void almost as though his body was tired down to an anchor, pulling him deeper and deeper down into the abyss.David felt his body had gone numb, losing every sense of feeling, he also felt cold but was shivering or craving warmth, and his body felt too heavy to move even a single finger.It felt strange to David but at the same time he felt strangely at peace within the darkness and just wanted to continue to sink further down into it, but then he had a familiar voice call out for him, saying, “David”David then found himself out of the darkness and in a strange room.It was a bedroom with a neatly made bed, a cupboard filled with clothes, and a single window next to it.David then heard saw sound of someone crying from underneath the bed but just as David was about to check the room door opened.David then turned around to see who it was that opened the door.A

Of course, it is you moron” said Flora annoyed with Akiri’s question when it was obvious that the sky dragon belonged to the dark dragon warriors due to the dark dragon crust on its sides.“Just wanted to make sure we had the right one,” said Akiri.“I still can’t believe we are actually doing this, it’s basically suicide,” said Steven annoyed with the fact that not only were they planning to face up against an army of dark dragon warriors they were powerful enough to defeat their parents but they were doing it all to save David.“I don’t know why you’re whining so much, it’s not like we asked you to come along with us,” said Flora annoyed and enraged by Steven and his grime attitude.Steven just

David heard a knock on the door before it slowly began to open up, startling and scaring David as it did so. David braced himself, unsure of who was going to walk in through the door, a figure then walked in holding a tray but the darkness within the room cloaked its appearance making it hard for David to figure out who it was or what was on the tray which made David feel even more unsettled and sacred. The figure then approached David with the tray still on its hands, and upon getting close enough for the light from the candle near David’s bed David was able to make out who it was and what was on the try. It was none other than Felix and, on the tray, he held was some food he had brought for David. “Hey, sorry if I startled you there, I just thought you might be a little hungry,” said Felix with a warm smile on his face.

In the Sky Dragon, the dark dragon warriors rode on Joshua made his way to his private quarters holding the golden locket.Once in his quarters, Joshua looked at the locket, thinking about all the power it possessed, having heard from the many legends about the Golden Dragon Warriors of the power that was within the small locket he held in his hands.The power of the locket was rumored to be great enough to make every nation in the world to fall down to their knees, a power that could not be matched by any other form of power except that of his master of course.Joshua couldn’t help but wonder if the power of the golden locket was so great then maybe it would be able to grant him the power he needed to bring the dream and the other dragon warriors shared to reality and for a moment he felt tempted to wear the locket and to see if it would grant him the power he needed to fulfill his dream but before he could he was stopped by a menacing deep voice from behind saying, “If you dare put t
