Chapter 1: New Beginnings

So, time to explain what Terran is all about, and his background, along with his brother, Zepher This story is an add on to Hypter's "TLoS: After the War" story, cause it tells of Terran's and Zepher's background stories if you have not read that story, read it after you read this one Anyway, First story, first chapter, first character, hopefully you enjoy It was a nice, sunny day, Terran was out of school for the year. He was so excited for this day cause there was a big game that all the local dragons setup to play today. "Yay, it's game day today! I wonder what team I'll be on?" Terran was a young dragon. He was colored green, with a white underbelly and he looked almost like a dinosaur when you looked at him. On his tail, he had a spiked egg that was almost indestructible, and was colored white with green spots. Terran also had a great personality, he was always happy, and it took a lot to bring him down even a notch. He always had a smile on his face, and he made every dragon that interacted with him a bit happier. However, he was also care-free, which usually got him into some bad situations... Either way, Terran loved to be around other people. His element was Earth. His figure was a bit on the muscular and defined side, he was in some way connected to the powerful Earth guardian, Terrador, which gave him substantial strength over other dragons his age. Terran headed out after getting all cleaned up, then he took off to fly to his destination and after a short flight, he soon landed at the field. Everyone had seen his great flying skill, he can come out of a sharp dive and land almost gracefully, which is not easy to do for other dragons... "Hey everyone, did I miss the team picking?" Terran asked "Nah, your just in time dude." a dragon said from the crowd. Terran hoped in line, and stood there, and the captains were picked, then the captains started picking teams... Terran was picked in the fifth round, and he happily jumped over to his team, dealing out claw pounds and such to his whole team. Finally, all the people were picked and the teams were set. Everyone set out to the field to get the game started, Terran was put in the full field position, which fit him, because he has a ton of energy. The position Terran had required a lot of energy, cause you gotta play the whole field. The game started once the ball dropped, and Terran's team got the ball first. A red dragon was running with the ball, kicking it occasionally so it stayed with him, and then stopped to look for an open teammate to pass to. Then, a blue dragon stole the ball, and headed down the field to the other goal, Terran's goal... He stopped, found an open teammate, passed the ball with a good kick, and they scored the first goal of the game. Terran's team lost some motivation with that, but Terran was still happy as ever, and he kept his team up with his loads of talking and support. The ball dropped again, the other team got the ball first this time... But in an instant, a brown dragon shot forward and stole the ball from the now stunned yellow dragoness. The brown dragon made it to the other side of the field and passed the ball to a teammate right before another dragon attempted to steal ball. The receiving red dragon moved up further, and found that Terran was wide-open, and in position for a shot at the goal. He passed the ball right before he was tripped by a slide tackle, and Terran received the ball... Then, Terran moved in, dodged a checking opponent barely, and lines up for the shot. He winds up, then, right before he shoots for the goal, a loud racket rose from the little village where he lived. The game was called, and marked up as a tie, and everyone ran back to the village. Terran could almost guess why the racket was going on... Terran was proven right when he arrived at the scene. A black colored fur dragon was fighting a red dragon, both were going at it hard, like they were gonna rip each others throats out... Terran yelled over the roaring crowd that chanted "Fight Fight Fight" over and over. "HEY! ZEPHER, WANT SOME HELP?" The fur dragon responded as he brought down the red dragon "No! Terran don't get involved in this! I can handle it-" he was cut off as he was rammed in the side by the red dragon. He gasped for a bit, winded, but recovered quickly... Terran yelled again "ARE YOU SURE BIG BRO?" Zepher replied, "Yes, I'm sure, I'll be fine" Terran just stood there, watching the fight, rooting for his brother. Zepher then turned to his opponent and said "You are gonna die if you ever call me that again, Flame..." The red dragon laughed and said "Oh yeah? What're you gonna do? Drown me in fuzziness? Set your pathetic bro off on me? He wouldn't be that hard to smother, just like you-" He was cut off when Zepher charged and rammed him... But Zepher soon regretted it, because he is a fur dragon, a rare kind of dragon around these parts, because fur dragons are from another place far away from here, he had less protection then the average dragon, mainly because he didn't have scales... Flame was stunned, but soon realized Zepher had hurt himself and was down... Flame walked over casually and said "Ha, you see? Your kind can't even take a hit without collapsing in pain. You and your bro and your whole Fur family need to be removed from this world, and what better way to do it then kill you ALL?" Flame was now down in Zepher's face, practically spitting his words into his face. Flame had thought Zepher was done for good, so he kicked him one last time, enough to hurt, but not break anything. However, Zepher had something moving behind his eyes, almost like a dark side of him, but it was a soul of someone... Zepher got up, almost acting as if there was no pain to be felt, and Flame spun around and laughed "You really are stupid, aren't you? You are a FUR dragon, you are inferior to us pure dragons! You are no better then a half-blood, then again, that is what you are." Zepher said back, in an almost completely different tone then his normal voice, "What did you just call me?" Flame was shocked by the change in tone in his voice, but said right to his face "You must be deaf, you stupid fur dragon. I called you a HALF-BLOOD!!!" What happened next was unexplainable. Zepher had completely changed, he had greater strength and hardly noticed any hits Flame threw at him. Zepher didn't change form, but he was motivated by something inside him, and he used this power to pick up Flame by the throat, then pulled him in close and said right into his face "You are going to regret calling me that hot shot" then he flung Flame into a wall, shattering a couple bones, and ending the fight... Flame got up, doubled over and crippled, said to Zepher "My father will hear of this, then he will KILL you" then he hobbled off. The only dragons remaining in the area were Terran and Zepher. Terran ran up and almost tackled his big bro. Terran then said "You won bro! I knew you would, he didn't stand a chance against you" and smiled up at his big bro, his hero, his passion. Terran loved his brother so much, and everyone in the village knew it. Terran would be picked on for this love he shows for his furry brother, but since he is too kind and always happy, other dragons just leave him alone... No dragon wants to be known as the dragon who made Terran sad, they would be torn apart in the next couple days... Terran then hugged his bro, and burrowed his head into the fur. Zepher could only chuckle as his bro did this, and whatever it was stirring inside him during that fight, it was gone now, replaced with the love for the tiny creature hugging him. Zepher then says to Terran "Hey, it's getting late, we should head home, I haven't eaten, and I bet mom has some good food waiting for us" Terran just stayed where he was, and said "Okay, but I'm not moving from you, you're too cozy" Zepher chuckled again, then said "Okay, but I know there is a few mud puddles I might 'accidentally' step in, and that would get you dirty." Terran replied "Okay, fine, I'll get off..." The two brothers headed home, and as Zepher said, there were a couple of mud puddles on the way there... Terran just splashed in them anyway. When they arrived home, they found that their parents will be back later, they had just gone out running some errands and will most likely top it off with a date. Zepher then went and switched on the light in the house. Now Zepher was fully visible in all his furryness. He was a black color, and the spots above his body and wings were green. Like Terran, he had a little extra muscle, but not as much as his little brother. Instead of scales covering his body, he had fur all around. The fur was thickest on his upper and main body, and slowly faded out as it travelled onto limps. He was well-defined, had some good muscle, and a great set of matching blue colored eyes. They were amazing and hypnotizing to look into, they shined in the light, almost captivating. On his wings, he had a thin membrane like all dragons, but on top of the membrane was several layers of feathers, overlapping for better form and coverage. His elements are Shadow and Earth. Terran looked in awe at his brother, as he always does, and Zepher just chuckled, again. He loved being the idol of his younger sibling, it made him feel happy inside to be around his little bro. Then, Zepher said to his bro "I think we should get going to bed, it's another day tomorrow, and you might wanna be well rested, cause I think that game is restarting tomorrow" Terran jumped in excitement "Really? They are gonna start the game again, in only one day? Yay!!!" Zepher then headed for the bedroom he shared with his bro, and he brought his bro in and tucked him into bed. Zepher then said lovingly to Terran "Good night bro, I'll see you in the morning" then leant in and lightly kissed him on the forehead. Terran just giggled and said back, same amount of love, "Good night big bro" then rolled over and was out in seconds. Zepher then watched his bro sleep for a bit, and thoughts ran through his head... He had a look of worry for the little hatchling sleeping in front of him... Should I tell him about what is really happening in town? That fight had more meaning to it then an average school yard fight, he was insulting my fur, but many others hate my fur as well. I may get banished from this village, and never be allowed to return... Or, I may even be executed in front of the whole village! I wouldn't care myself, but then there is Terran, how would he react if I was sent away and he'd never see me again? Or worse, how would he react if he watched me get executed, and he be stuck in this world all alone... *A tear slowly forms and falls from Zepher's cheek...* No, I don't want to think about that. *shakes head to clear away thoughts* I don't care what happens to me, just as long as my little bro is happy, I'll be satisfied. Then Zepher felt a wave of exhaustion hit him, and he said to himself "I should probably get some sleep too, I need the rest" and climbed into his bed, then fell asleep shortly after he closed his eyes...
