This is an ongoing story that is being written as we speak. ^_^


_ This story begins back when Titans ruled and the lands trembled in fear. Back before the gods banished them to their prison deep beneath the salty depths of the ocean floor. Back when Khronos ruled the lands before he castrated his father and beheaded his mother. A year before his mother gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Her skin was grey like ash with veins of orange and yellow running all over her body, like veins of magma. Her hair was as black as raven feathers with a couple of crimson streaks down the right side of her head. After giving birth and holding her daughter and looking her over from head to toe, she bestowed upon her the name of Khronosa. _

_When Khronosa's mother heard about what her only son had planned to do to his family; Her mother had taken Khronosa away to her mortal half sister's house. Her mother didn't have to say a thing to her sister, she knew something was about to go seriously wrong. The only thing her aunt did ask her mother to do, was to use a spell to cover up Khronosa's ash colored and magma veined like skin. Her mother obliged her, knowing it would make life easier on the both of them. After her mother put the spell on Khronosa and told her aunt that the spell would fade away when the time was right. Soon after telling her sister this, Khronosa's mother kissed her forehead one last time, before walking out the door and vanishing into the night. _

_Years came and went quickly as Khronosa grew up under the watchful eye of her aunt and uncle. Having a normal childhood one could expect from that time era. But something started to change inside of Khronosa when she turned fifteen. Visions started to cloud her dreams at night while she lay sleeping, stirring the true person she was deep inside of her. Visions she didn't understand what they meant to her or why she was the one receiving them. The visions kept coming to her ever few nights until one night she woke up from her sleep and noticed that her skin had changed to an ash like color with crimson and yellow veins on her hands, before they disappeared and when back to their pale fleshy color. This scared and surprised her all at once. She falls back to sleep, but the next morning as her and her mother take a walk in the big flower garden west of the castle. She tells her mother what had been happening to her every few nights after her fifteenth birthday. Her mother finally told her what had been happen to her at night over the spand of the last few weeks leading up to her fifteenth birthday. Her mother sighs, then tell her about her older brother, who was a titan and was causing havoc across the lands, and the one who had killed her titan father and demon mother. After hearing all of this, she didn't think less of her mother and father that had raised her for all those years. _

A few nights later she had another vision, but this time a black and orange sword appeared in the vision, then her using the sword to kill her brother. The next morning she goes to her father's head general and asks him to teach her how to forge a sword. After learning the technique of sword crafting, she started to work on the sword that she had seen in her visions. It took her a year and a half to gather the materials and forge the sword. After she gets done making the sword and learns how to wield it after a few months, cause of her quick learning ability. She sets out to look for her older brother. She found him after a year of searching for him, following leads and clues to where his whereabouts were.

_She finds him two years later in a large town that he was destroying. She enters into a battle with him, after she tells him who she was and that she was there to kill him for killing their mother and father in cold blood. After those words left her lips, her body started to change back to what it was before their mother placed the spell on her. Her pale mortal flesh faded away into the color of ash, as small veins of crimson, orange and yellow appear all over her body. Her hair changed from a dark brown to a dark black like raven feathers with two crimson streaks on the right side of her head. Her body grows in size, until she was a couple of feet shorter then her brother. The sword itself also grew in size along side her. _

The battle between her and her brother raged on for nine years. Towns that had been half way destroyed by her brother, were now completely destroyed by the battle. Mountains had fallen, as new ones rose in their place, but in different positions and height. Lakes and rivers changed positions and started to flow on different paths as the battle went on. Until one day during the battle she got an opening when she seen that her brother was in a slight weaken state. She poured almost the rest of her energy into the sword as she charged at him and thrust the sword into his heart to kill him. As soon as the tip of the sword pierces his heart, a massive wave of energy was released, which pushed her back and slams her into the side of one of the mountains, knocking her out from the impact, with the remaining bit of her energy she creates a weak barrier around herself. What she didn't know was when her mother put the spell on her to make her looked mortal, she also put a spell on her to lock her away in a small orb in fear that she might turn out like her older brother.

A few hundreds of thousands of years past with the tale of how Khronosa defeated her brother had faded way or forgotten all together. Which somethings should never be forgotten. Before one day something unexpected happen. The orb in which held Khronosa was found by a being, a vampire Prince called, Sussdokon. Sussdokon had recently became a new father to a beautiful baby girl...

_Four thousand years ago on a planet known as Second Earth, which looked like Earth, but more med-evil with advanced technology. In a small region near the mountains of fetal Japan, ruled over by the Redrumpetall family, who's castle was built into the side of the mountains. Sussdokon, the pure blooded vampire king, and Illidarianna, the pure blooded vampire queen, were expecting their first child, a baby girl. The king and queen, plus all the people in the kingdom were happy that the royal family was going to have an heir to the thrown. _

_Five months had past after the day the announcement was made about the queen being pregnant. One cold moonless winter night a stranger appeared at the front door of the castle seeking refuge for a few days from the cold winter weather. They decided to take pity on the stranger and let him stay in the castle with them. But they couldn't imagine what would take place in the near future. The third night that the stranger was staying with the king and queen. The air around the castle grounds changed to a darker presence slightly, after the king had to leave and check on some reports of dangerous attacks on the southern borders of the kingdom. That night as the queen got ready for bed and quickly after climbing into bed, she started to have a vivid dream about her husband, a few hours later After a few minutes of dreaming like that and feeling that something was off about the dream. She starts to wake up slowly at first, before feeling a heavy weight on top of her under the covers, which made her wake up faster, then all of a sudden sees that it was the stranger on top of her nude body, nude himself, raping her in her sleep. Noticing that she wasn't bound to the bed. She leans up and bites into the strangers neck roughly. Her eyes widen as she soon tasted his blood and found out that he was a demon. She sucked his blood out of his body, which seemed like it took hours until his body turned to ash and drifted away from her on the bed. She told her husband what had happen to her the next day as soon as he got back to the castle. _

_Four months passed since that scary night and Illidarianna went into labor on the first night of the blood moon, known to others as the harvest moon, cause of the red color. Illidarianna was in labor for several hours before finally giving birth to a healthy baby girl, but soon noticed that the baby's skin was pale in color and looked a little demonic, thinking back to that night she got rapped and figured the demonic features came from her drinking all of the demons blood while she was pregnant, but didn't think on it anymore as the demonic features faded away. Illidarianna looked her baby girl over and smiled before she spoke to the baby, "I will call you Moka, after your great, great grandmother Mokasienna." _

_Six years had came and gone since Moka was born. She grew up quickly under the protection of her mother and father, along with her fathers guards protection as well. She was always playing and exploring a new parts of the castle that she had discovered in days before, due to the castle being so large. She skipped down the halls as the sun shined through the big open windows, before stopping in front of a dark corridor, that had only two small columns with golden bowls that had fire coming out of them on each side of a black wooden door, that had different glowing symbols on it, which seemed to draw her attention and made her walk closer to it out of curiosity. As she got closer to the door, the glowing symbols started to glow brighter, until she reached out and touched the door with her right hand. The door all of a sudden glows a bright crimson red and purple, before it faded away and the door opened up, but now on the back of her right hand was one of the symbols. She walked into the room and noticed that _** _it use to be a family members room. Before she could walk into the room the rest of the way. Her father came and scooped her up, but was yelling at her and telling her that she was to never go looking for that room ever agin. After her father got on to her and sent her to her room. She over heard him telling a few of his guards to remove everything from the room then brick the door shut. _**

_A year after she turned six. Her father and his head general, Mathayus, that she considered as an uncle, were called away to take care of a ruler to the west of the kingdom that threatened to invade the kingdom. Her father and uncle were gone for several months before returning back to the castle. Both of them looking badly beaten up, but from the looks of it only needed a couple of days rest would do them some good. After a few days of her father getting the rest that he needed and setting one of his other generals up in the castle of the ruler that he had defeated, which made the region of the kingdom grow even more. Her father told her that he had a present that he wanted to give her that afternoon after dinner. She meet with her father in the rose garden to the east of the castle, excited on what her father had gotten her, thinking he might have brought back a dragon hatchling or a pony for her, but what she didn't know was how wrong she was. As she turned the corner to walk down the path towards the _** _pavilion, she was grappled and restrained by her uncle, Mathayus, before her father walked up to the both of them holding a crimson and orange, with neon green lines, orb in his right hand. He didn't say anything to her, but instead he thrust his hand forward and shoved the orb into her chest. After the orb had completely gone into her chest, she passes out in her uncles arms. She stayed asleep for a few days after that until waking up three days lather, feeling a little different, like all her vampire abilities were stronger then everyone else, but she kept this secret to herself for years. _**

_Ten years passed since she found that old weird door and her father shoved that orb into her chest. Her curiosity grew over the years, making her want to find out who had lived in that room. She went to the castles library and started to do some research to find out who it could of been, until she found something that lead her to an unmarked grave in the cemetery on the east end of the flower garden on the right side of the castle. She stood there looking at the outside of the unmarked grave, looking over the carvings in the onyx stone, which looked like the same symbols on the black wooden door. She decided to do the same thing she did to the door all those years ago. She walked up to the onyx stone and reached out with her right hand to touch it. The symbols started to glow brightly, like the ones on the door did, before fading away as the door opened up. She looked down at her right hand, which had a new symbol intertwined with the other on that was already there. _

_Luckily her father was away from the castle, along with her mother, so they were not there to stop her from going inside of the grave. She pushed the door open and starts to walk inside, but as soon as the torches lit themselves and lit the room, the only thing that she saw was an old book on a stand. She circles the stand to look at the blood better, only to notice two initials on it "R.R.", which made her even more curious about who it was, since the book had the same smell as the room did all those years ago. She quickly left the grave after she heard one of her fathers guards calling her name and telling her that her mother and father have returned home. It was at this time that she decided to tell her parents what had been going on with her for the last ten years, since her father bestowed that 'gift' upon her that one afternoon long ago. _

_After telling her father what was going on with her. He order her to join the Warriors of the Blood, which was/is the elite group of vampire knights of her fathers army, to learn different styles of sword arts, along with different abilities to help her harness and control her new powers, but sadly this only worked for a short time, before her father had to craft a powerful rosary to keep the demon within locked away. She soon found out a few days later after wearing the rosary, what had happen to her mother while she was still pregnant with her, also finding out that the demon her mother killed was the king of demons of Second Earth, which by her mother killing him, bestowed upon her mother queen of the demons race on Second Earth, which would be passed down to Moka when she assumed the throne to rule over the kingdom. She trained for many hard years under the elite group of vampire knights, until she became a knight herself, but that was short lived. _

A year before her eighteenth birthday a massive war broke out over the region and surrounding areas, calling her father, mother and uncle away from home, but she was left behind to watch over and protect the castle and lands of the kingdom. She lost contact with her father, mother and uncle for many month, until one of her fathers men, Marcus, came back to the castle to tell her what had happen, letting her know that her mother, father had been killed in the war by her uncle Mathayus and it was her who had to take the throne and rule over the people now. Marcus also had told her that her father had banished her uncle to the furtherest reaches of the world for betraying him and his wife in the middle of battle by breaking an ancient law of drinking dying blood to become more stronger then her father to take over the throne and had saved a silver dragon from slavery of one of the rulers that had started the word,that he wanted to protect, which was her fathers dying words.

She waited for the silver dragon to show up at the castle but he never did. Until one day, years later, she had heard some rumors form her housemaids about a silver dragon working in a few towns over as a medal-smith, making weapons and armor. She got curious and wondered if it could be the same silver dragon that Marcus had told her about. Unfortunelly she could ask Marcus as he was away on a mission helping clean up the battle fields after the war. She paced up and down the hall connecting her study to the throne room, thinking and deciding on what she should do, before long she had decided to go and see if this silver dragon was the one that her father wanted her to protect...

_Late one night in the middle of one of the coldest winters the land of sosaria had ever seen, a shadowy figure could be seen rushing through the woods as silently and quickly as possible. It weaved its way through the snow covered trees in an attempt to stay hidden for as long as possible, though one could catch a flash of silver now and then as the moonlight that sometimes broke through the leaves above caught a part of it. After a while it came upon a small clearing just outside a village in the middle of nowhere called Rogoz, and with only a moment's hesitation stepped out into the field. Once it was free it was revealed to be a huge dragon with scales of the purest kind ever seen. It stood twenty feet tall and was fifteen feet from snout to tail with a slender, feminine body. Finally the last feature one could see was the leather bags that were sling on either side of her middle, nestled between her back and forelegs. She hesitated for another long moment to make sure no one was around to see her _** _before venturing ahead towards the quiet village, those that slumbered within it unaware of the being that moved among them. _**

The dragoness stealthily glided from the doorway of one home to the next, sniffing at each before shaking her head and moving on. Eventually she seemed to begin to lose hope of finding what ever had drawn her to this place when she came upon a small hut at the far edge of the dwellings, a ways away from the other structures. Curiously she headed over and sniffed at the home, hope shining in her pale eyes. After only a moment she nodded in satisfaction and reached back into the leather bag with her head. Ever so carefully she removed a smooth metallic orb about the size of a melon with veins of obsidian crisscrossing its surface.

_Gently setting it down on the doorstep she gave the orb a small nuzzle before turning and rushing away, returning to the clearing she arrived at. Looking back one last time she let out a long mournful croon before leaping into the air with one powerful beat of her wings, vanishing into the night sky as silently as swiftly as she had come. Back on the stoop the orb shook once before going still, as if sensing the sadness and loss in the air. _

Inside the hut a woman sat up suddenly as she was awoken from her sleep do to the call that echoed in the night not far away. Having awoken with her the man sat up and asked her what was wrong. when she replied she didn't know the man headed to the front door to see what was out there, snatching his old knight's sword on his way. Upon opening the door however he was greeted with the sight of a set of large tracks that led to their door and the glittering object that lay before it. Unsure what was going on he carefully took the orb inside and showed his wife what he had found. When she went to take it from him to examine it closer it began to shake and tremble in their hands. Thinking quickly the man tossed it away from them and onto their shared bed and raised his blade protectively as he moved in front of his wife.

_Before he could do anything more a loud crack split the night and the orb broke apart to reveal a tiny gray scaled hatchling dragon. After flailing around on unsteady limbs it managed to get upright and stare up at the two stunned humans that stood open mouthed before it. Half a night and quite a few arguments later, both smiled down at their newly adopted son that slept curled up in their covers. "Silver," said the woman. "His name will be Silver." _

The joy and wonder did not last long though as the village they lived in fiercely hated dragons of any kind, most that lived there being victims of or having fought against them at one time or another. It was decided that their new son would have to live hidden away in a cave far from the village where no one would find him and where he could grow and roam somewhat freely.

_For years they lived in peace together with the others none the wiser. Every day one would go and spend time with the little hatchling, teaching him what they could and taking care of him. As the hatchling grew he soaked up their teaching like a sponge. Learning the human tongue, what herbs were safe to eat and which weren't and how to use them when cooking and even how to heal others. Though he had to learn to walk on his four limbs on his own, falling more time then he hared to count. For a time it seemed life was perfect. _

_Sadly this was not a world where life was perfect for long. _

_Silver was only seven years of age when a hunter out tracking a deer caught sight of the young dragon trying to learn to fly. Running back to the village the hunter informed the others of what he had seen and it was quickly decided that a hunting party would be made to go destroy the monster before it became a threat to them all. Seeing all this happening the adoptive mother of the hatching rushed home to inform her husband about what was happening. Deciding that they had to escape they gathered what little they could carry and hurried to the cave where their son waited for them, unaware of the horror that would soon unfold. _

_The couple had only just arrived when the hunters were dragging the bound and winning infant dragon out of the cave and into the middle of the group. Seeing one of the men raise a large battle ax above his head to end the life of their son the adoptive father attacked, yelling for her to take their son and flee while he bought them time. But that only gave them precious few moments in the end as he was overwhelmed by the angry hunters. The silvers mother pushed him into the cave and tried to shield him with her magic but as she wasn't good at that magic it was only a matter of minutes before she fell to the angry hordes blades too. That is when Silvers power awoke. _

_The horror of seeing the ones he saw as his mother and father struck down in cold blood right before his eyes filled him with sorrow and grief and awoke the blizzard deep within him. Letting out a roar of pain he unleashed the full fury of the storm raging inside his chest and blanketed them all in a foot of pure ice that froze them all solid, ending their lives before they new it had happened. Scared and unsure the young dragon ran from that place forever, as fast and far as he could before finally collapsing a week and a half later at the foot of a large mountain. It was here hours later that a creature of life and stone few knew existed came upon him. It took pity on him and brought him to it's home to recover. _

_It was there that Silver awoke to the softly glowing lights of crystals and the warm embrace of a moss bed. It didn't take long for him to spot the collection of shifting rocks and energy that hovered not far away. When Silver fearfully asked what it wanted and where it was it simply stared at him before turning and wondering off. When it reached a doorway it looked back at him as if asking why he wasn't following it. Confused he stood and hurried after it. after many twists and turns it led him outside and into a grove of trees. Pausing to look around in wonder Silver looked around in awe, not use to seeing so much green as he had only lived in the frozen lands until now. When he remembered that he had been following the earth elemental he looked back to see that it was waiting patiently got him to join it by a small pool that he just now noticed was there. _

_Confused he wondered why it had brought him here and had been about to ask when it reached out with a stone hand and dipped a finger into the water. Suddenly images and sounds were flashing over its surface and he realized that he was seeing its memories. After a few minutes it withdrew and stared at him silently again. Guessing what it wanted he reached out and put a paw into the water, his whole, though short, life flashing for them both to see. When the last of it with his parents dieing played the hatching broke down and cried, his tears dripping into the pool with soft plops. _

_Silver jumped a moment later when he felt something warm drape over him and looked back to see a blanket of moss that grew out of the ground beside him and had been draped over hi by the elemental. Giving him a nod it got up and wandered away again, leaving him alone for a little while. Years went by and the hatchling grew and learned, growing stronger in body and magic with each passing day as he learned how to use the earth as the elemental did, even learning about the power of crystals. _

_After a few hundred years he decided to move on and bid his friend goodbye, vowing to return eventually. _

_More time past and the years went by and Silver learned to fight for money to survive, which got him beaten down more often than not. after one more brutal fight he ended up knocked out on the bank of a river, bloody and unable to move much from how weak he was. He was eventually found by a man that was returning home after gathering supplies from a nearby town and decided to stop to water his horses. Seeing the broken dragon the man quickly lifted him onto his cart and took him home. _

_After eventually nursing him back to health the old hermit got the young dragon to tell him his story. After Silver had finished speaking the hermit sat there in silence for a long time in thought before eventually offering to let him stay with him for a while, provided that he earn his keep. Silver agreed and after regaining his strength helped out around the house. _

_As it turned out though the hermit wasn't just any old man, but a old sword maker that passed the time by making one blade after another that he would sell after making a large stack. After a while silver asked if he could learn the craft from him. It took years and years but the old hermit agreed to it and taught him everything he knew, including how to mine and forge void steel after making silver his first blade. Not long after finishing up his apprenticeship the old man died, with his final words being, "A.... sword wields no..... strength un... unless the hand t........ that holds it has.......... courage......" _

Taking those words to heart Silver ventured off into the world, bouncing around and helping out where he could and not caring it it was a king or a street rat that he helped. Over the next three thousand years he took many jobs that interested him including but not limited to explorer, mercenary, handyman, archaeologist and generally any other odd job that caught his eye...

After Moka had decided to go and investigate to see if this was the silver dragon that her father had left her to protect. She only packed lightly and dressed in a velvety red dress as it was starting to turn cold outside along with putting a red velvet cloak on. She had ordered only one of her drivers to go with her. She soon set off towards the town that she heard that the silver dragon was last seen in, hoping that he would still be there. It took a few days before they reached the gates of the town that the silver dragon was suppose to be working in. She didnt waste any time as she went around starting to ask different people about seeing a silver dragon in theses parts. A few people were rude to her but others were really friendly and helped her out. The last person she talked to, told her that he had just came from the pub and had seen a silver dragon sitting in the corner enjoying a drink while relaxing. She thanked the man and hurried on her way to the pub, not wanting to miss the silver dragon. As soon as she arrived at the pub, word had already spread around the small town about who she was, whispers of her being the late king Redrumpetall's daughter and had taken over the throne at such a young age. She tried to play it off and make people think that she was someone else, as she knew that there where still some hidden groups that her father didn't kill that was still looking of anyone that was part of her family, to kill them. She slowly looks around the pub, searching for the silver dragon until her crimson eyes land upon him in one of the dark corners of the pub, noticing that he was trying to keep to himself. She takes a seat at a table not to far from the silver dragon. One of the barmaids comes up to her and asks her what she would like to drink. She just looks up at the barmaid and smiles, "Blood wine, if you have it." She said with a smirk, always keeping the silver dragon in the line of sight.

_The silver dragon sat there, only looking up when the door to the pub opened, watching the stange woman that had walked in. He tilted his head a little as he watched the woman sit down not to far from him. His hears perked up and he got curious when he heard the name Redrumpetall, remembering that a king with that last name had saved him from slavery years ago. He kept watching her as she interacted with some of the town folks that came up to her, noticing the grace in how she handled herself around them. His head tilted even more to the side when the barmaid serves the woman and over hears her calling her Queen Redrumpetall, under her breath atfter the woman had paid her and give her a big tip. This had made the silver dragon's curiousity peak to its limit and he wanted to find out of this was the daughter of the king that had rescued him. Silver slowly gets up from his seat, grabbing his drink as he slowly walks over to the table where the hoodded woman sat. He bowed his head lightly, "May I sit with your ma'am?" He asked politely as he waited for her to answer him. She nodded her head, "Of course you can join me." She says with a bright smile across her ruby lips that could be seen under her hooded head as she waves a hand for him to take the seat across from her. Silver smiles and soon seats down across from her, nervously rubbing one of his clawed fingers on the side of his mug. Silver lookes over at Moka, "May I ask you something ma'am?" He asks nervously. She tilts her head to the side, which lets a strand of her pure silver hair fall out from under her hood, "Yes. You can ask anything. I do have some questions myself for you." She says softly before picking up the mug of blood wine that was placed in front of her and taking a small sip from it. "I was curious and I over heard some of the town folk talking about it. But is your last name Redrumpetall?" Silver asks curiously. A smirk plays at the corners of Moka's mouth as she leans up against the table, coming closer to the silver dragon, before lifting a hand up and pulling her hood back a little, "That you would be correct on sir. My last name is Redrumpetall. And to answer your next question that you might have. Yes my father was King Sussdokon Redrumpetall. Now I have a question for you, sir. You wouldn't happen to be the silver dragon that my father rescued, would you?" Moka asks with a quirked eyebrow as she leans back in her seat and looks the silver dragon over a few more times. _

Silver's eyes go wide as the woman had just read his mind one what his next question was going to be. He shakes his head a few time to clear the shock from what had just happen before he smiles. "That I would be ma'am. I am the silver dragon that your father rescued so many years ago. I am thankful for him doing so. I am sorry for you lose dear qu...ma'am" Silver says as he hangs his head down a little. Moka lifts one of her hands and waves it in front of her face, "No need to be sorry. My father knew what he was going into when he went to war. He was not scared of dying. But I must ask. Why did you never arrive at the castle? My father sent by word through his general that you was suppose to come there." She says as she stands up and moves to the chair closer to him so that no one could over hear what they were talking about. Silver bit his lower lip and kept his head down. "I lost my way. And then the map your father gave me to find the place got stolen from me. I didn't know what to do after that so I started to fight to make money for food, until the blacksmith here found me and nursed me back to health. After that I bounced around for a little bit before coming back here to work as the blacksmith after the old man died." He says as he lets out a big sigh. "I'm sorry for you lose as well, sir." She says softly as she reaches out and places a hand on his forearm. "You already know who I am. But you can call me Moka." She says with a smile. Silver glances up at her and couldn't help but smile after seeing her smiling at him so warmly that it soothed him a little. "My name is Silver. Yes i know is a little odd for a silver dragon to be named Silver." He says with a little smirk and chuckle. Moka tilts er head to the side. "Why don't you come back with me to the castle and I can show you around. If you like I can send one of my blacksmiths to your shop to keep an eye on everything." She says with a bigger smile as she looks up at him, making her hood fall back a little more. Silver tilts he head for a moment before nodding. "Sure I'll come back with you. I was suppose to long ago. Lets just say this was a long meeting waiting to happen." He says with a smirk. They both soon finish there drinks and head out the door, then down the street where her pure white horse was waiting for her. She climbs onto her horses back and looks over at Silver. "We can walk or you can fly while I ride my horse." She says with a smirk. Silver looks at her. "I rather walk so we can talk some more, if that is alright with you, Moka?" He asks as he starts to walk along side her horse. "That is perfectly fine with me." She says softly before clicking her tongue to make her horse start to walk down the road that lead back to her kingdom.
