Chapter 1:

New beginnings

The land was sparse and contained little shade from the blazing sun as the two crossed the Targen Desert within Drafon, a land known for the draconic inhabitants inside of the country's borders.

"Come on, we have been traveling this desert for days" shouted a turquoise and mint green coloured wolf as they drank the last of the water. "How can you walk through here without roasting?"

"Calm down," responded a semi-muscular fire red coloured dragon. "We can rest as soon as we get to the camp at the oasis"

The oasis or Faun Del Trai as others may call it is a landmark that resides in the middle of the Targen Desert. Although there are others, Faun Del Trai is the main area to refill their water and food supply for the rest of the trip.

The wolf sighed and thought as they continued walking where it seemed to be an infinite sea of sand with sand bubbles moving towards them. "Am I having a mirage or is the sand shifting," He said rubbing his eyes. "And you have yet to answer my question"

The dragon was not listening to his companion but was getting ready to fight the invaders of other dragons after them, "You can fight kid?" He asked. "Cause we may have too"

The wolf, although having little combat knowledge, decided to pull out his serpent dagger hoping there would be no fighting anyone from Drafon inhabitants, although he was already traveling with a Draconian who was once a royal guard from the kingdom. "Why would the others be going after you Dractin?" the wolf quipped quickly.

Dractin shook his head "If there was a fight coming now there ain't anymore, now that you said my name, Senjin." The sand stopped moving. "Next time don't give out my name, would you?'' At this point Dractin sheathed his scythe and pulled the hidden Shifting Clan dragons, that are lightweight and protect the oasis, out of the ground with a grim face. "Now tell me why you were coming toward us within the sand?"

The leader, a dark sandy red coloured dragon with green marks on her arm, spoke up, "We were sent here to not let you continue to the oasis due to accompanying a wolf from outside the country." She pointed at Senjin, "If I remember correctly I've seen you with someone else about 15 years ago. Maybe your dad, maybe not. It might of just been someone random from the Corrupt Clan by the border."

Senjin was confused by how this person knew him from when he was just a year old when he didn't remember anything before he was ten years. "What do you know about me? Hell, how do you know it was even me that you saw," He shouted at her.

"Come on Senjin, though you may not know anything before being eleven dont mean others don't. Now can you not cause a scene?" Dractin calmly said. "Now Tendria, why can't I bring this 'wolf' to the oasis? Can't you see he is hurt?"

"I'm not hurt" shouted Senjin then took a few steps back and tripped when Dractin threw a demonic look at him. "Maybe I am..."

"You really believe I will fall for that dumb trick like I did when I was younger? You truly fell off your treasure hoard when the original royal family died, didn't you?" Tendria proclaimed feeling proud that she was overthrowing her mentor.

"Tendria, you do know the whole dragons hoarding treasure was years ago before we started working to fight together," Dractin started. "Though it didn't really work seeming that we are still all separate and fighting each other"

Tendria used her tail to launch sand into Dractin's face and backed away and looked at Senjin trying to find out why exactly Dractin would bring Senjin back to Dracfon. "Is it that he wants him dead, no can't be that, even if he did kill the royal family like they say it doesn't seem that he has that intent." Tendria says whispering to herself, "Does Senjin trust him? He shows no fear of Dractin nor marks that Dractin could have caused, hell he doesn't have any that I can see."

Dractin though he let go of her he didn't get blinded by the sand due to him being trained to deal with all of the tribe's tactics. "If you are done, we are going to continue to the oasis so we can get food and water for Senjin. He has been complaining about the heat for the past few days and I don't think you have the courage to fight me, do you?"

With a crimson look Dractin started to walk forward with Senjin behind him but they were stopped before they could get far by Tendria. "If you continue going to the oasis there are other Clans that may try to take Senjin back out of the country. I would just leave him with us and we will bring him back to the border so you don't have to make the trip back and overheat."

"I have been in the royal guard and traveled this very desert many times with little food and water. I can cross this desert with just two water bottles and a single day's worth of rations, so if I wanted to bring him back to the border I would have done it already" Dractin continued walking once he was done speaking to Tendia. ?
