the new guardians part four
LOSC: The New Guardians part 4
Dawn came and woke a middle aged silver wind dragon resting on a small cliff plateau. He yawned and stretched in a cat-like manner, this dragon is a small dragon for his age which is common for wind dragons due to the fact that they rely on the speed of their size and what their element give's them. His name is Lord Arrow wind guardian and crown heir of the wind fiefdom of Windscar, he had scars of past battles across his body with a missing left eye and half a tail, both of his horns were stumps from being smashed in a charge, his talons showed the were and tear of constant battle. After his stretch Arrow looks at the sun to get his bearings as takes off for Warfang city, as he was flying Arrow was going over the guardian candidate hopefuls he found in his fief and sighs in exasperation, "forty-eight, forty-eight hopeful candidates" he thought , "and none of them are that strong or skillful in the wind element enough to be a guardian" as he was pondering this he was flying over the forest of Avalar when he heard two high pitched screeches as he was flew over the forest, then the screeches stop and then he is struck by a shockwave of wind that came out of nowhere and sent him crashing into the forest. As Arrow picks himself up and detangles from all the braches and other foliage, then another blast of wind slams into the silver dragon smashing him into a tree, as he tries to stop the world from spinning as he hears something or some things crashing through the forest.
He follows the sounds on the ground so he could avoid getting blasted out of the sky again by that mysterious wind, when he gets closer to the crashing he hears the sound of combative dragons as he reaches a clearing and sees two dragons both are fifteen years old. The dragons Arrow sees that they are of the same family and both were a mix of a western (European) and eastern (celestial) dragons , one was a black dragon with silver stripe patterns that continues on his wings with two streamlined horns that extrude from the back of his head along the dragons neck, this dragon had the build and stature of a western dragon with subtle hints of his eastern heritage, he was longer than most dragons his age but only by a few feet, this dragon also has a scimitar tail blade and wings at least three times larger than dragons his age. The other dragon was on the other side of the spectrum with opposite color scales of silver with black stripe patterns that go to his wings, he has the same horns, tail blade, and wing size, but this dragon had the stature, and length of a eastern dragon with subtle hints of his western heritage, his length isn't the same as a full blooded eastern dragon but he is twice as long as most western dragons his age and he is bigger than most eastern dragons his age.
Arrow watches them hoping to know who was the wind dragon that knocked him out of the sky when they suddenly charged each other. The two dragons collide into one another with a massive shockwave of wind that tour through the clearing and the forest, smashing craters into the ground and shredding through the forest creating a wasteland around Arrow as he watches them. The dragons after their collision they were a whirl of paws, talons, teeth, and tail blades, "these two dragons are incredible, not one of them gives an inch and on top of that they are wind dragons, powerful and skilled in their element and masters of close combat," thought Arrow as he watch the two dragons do battle. Arrow notices the dragon fight differently than normal dragons; he sees that they both use their superior flexibly with their bodies and tails to strike at different angles and that both stand on their hind legs every now and then and that they both use their fore paws as pillars so they can swing their bodies out (like they were break dancing) and they would stop with their tail blades crossed struggling to overpower each other, both had a grace and elegance in the way they fought not a movement wasted as they beat the shit out of each other (picture them using a form of dragon martial arts or dragon kung fu). As Arrow watches he sees that the black dragon had blunted fore talons, the black dragon fought with closed paws instead of his talons, the silver dragon had unusually sharp talons on all of his paws and fought to cut and slash with them.
When the two dragons broke apart they took to the air and continued their deadly dance, then the black one landed a crushing blow with a back-handed fore paw sending the silver one falling for about ten feet until the silver flared out his wings and flew back at the black dragon who had started to dive at the silver, then the two of them started spinning creating two twisters around themselves as they flew at each other, when they collided again they two twisters melded with each other and the clouds above them creating a tornado from hell that if not stopped it would destroy the forest and the village of Avalar. When Arrow saw this his jaw dropped in awe never had he seen a wind dragon this powerful let alone two of them that are the same strength, but what Arrow could not see was the two dragons were inside the giant twister using the wind to hover in the center of the twister with their paws interlocked the dragons were head butting each other as their tail blades smashed into each other. Then two suddenly get sucked into the twister and thrown out as it died down and crashed back into the clearing creating a cloud of dust around them.
When the dust settled the two dragons were up and facing each other, Arrow was about stop the fight when, "damn it Nightstream why won't you accept than you aren't evil that that bastard Demetrius forced you do those things by threatening me" yelled the silver dragon, the black dragon, Nightstream yelled back, "you know very well Slipstream that's not true, HE corrupted me and I did those things willingly". "no that's not true you were never corrupted he made you think you were so he could prove that he didn't need to corrupt younger dragons to do his bidding," shouted The silver dragon, Slipstream, "but you never gave in you fought and fought until he threatened to kill me was when you caved in, you did it to protect me your baby brother, NOT TO SERVE DEMETRIUS THAT MOTHER FUCKER". "I know why I did them but that still makes me a criminal nothing excuses the fact I DESTROYED THOSE VILLIGES" yelled Night stream as he threw his wing forward blasting out a crushing wind that smashed everything in its path but Slipstream struck with a blast of wind that slashed through everything in its path, the blasts of wind collided with each other creating the same shockwave of wind that knocked Arrow out of the sky. Arrow hearing all of this looks at Nightstream studying him until he sees a familiar scar across his right eye, "that's the scar I gave to the wind dragon known as the black hurricane, he can't be the same dragon" thought Arrow as Nightstream jumps to avoid his brother's comet dash showing Arrow his right flank to reveal a scar that Arrow knew all too well, "that scar, by the ancestors he is the black hurricane, but if Cynder can be redeemed then so can he I hope Volteer doesn't try to kill him when he sees that scar," thought the wind guardian, as the two started their deadly dance again punching, slashing, swiping, body swings, spins, and tail blade duals, that went on for an hour until they broke apart, the two dragons stated to take deep breaths that you could hear their chests expanding with pops and cracks.
Arrow sees this and charges a wind attack as well, but before he could get it to optimum strength the two dragons release the pent up attacks simultaneously, instead of a roar that normal dragon do when they release their element from their maws, they released a high pitched screeches the same ones that Arrow heard before he crashed, then they released their attacks with a rippling roar, "this has gone on LONG ENOUGH!" yelled Arrow as he leapt between them releasing a whirlwind that barley reflected the two attacks sending the off in front of and behind Arrow. Nightstream and Slipstream were shocked that a dragon was that crazy jump between them, "you two stop this unnecessary fighting this instant, you two are brothers you should not be fighting each other", shouted Arrow when the dust cleared, "what the hell he should be dead, no one has gotten up after I hit them with that attack", thought both Nightstream and Slipstream in unison. Arrow gestures for them to come closer, curious they both approach him and as they sit in front of him the two brothers still had a bewildered look on their faces as This dragon introduces himself, "I am Lord Arrow crown heir to the throne of Windscar fief and the Guardian of Wind," the look of bewilderment on the brothers faces change to one of surprise complete with dropped jaws.
"What in the nine hells do you want with us?" asked Nightstream cautiously, the first of the two brothers to recover from the shock of meeting the wind guardian. Arrow looks to Nightstream and smiles with a smug grin of recognition that send a chill down Nightstream's spine, "he looks familiar and the name Arrow rings to many bells to be a coincidence, he knows who I am and what I did," that the black wind dragon. "I want the two of you to come to Warfang a try out be wind guardian candidates, both of you have shown skill and power in the wind element that I have never seen in any other wind dragon and as wind guardian I would be honored to train one of you to be the next wind guardian", said Arrow to both of them, the two dragons look at each other with excited grins and then Nightstream's smile turns to a look of panic, "no I can't accept this Lord Arrow please understand I can't go into Warfang," said Nightstream making his brother growl at him.
"I know who you were Nightstream" stated Arrow causing Nightstream to step back and drop into a defensive stance as Slipstream stares in Shock at Arrow, "how could I when I gave you that scar on your face," continued Arrow making Nightstream's eyes to widen in recognition and clutch his right flank in fear, "please let me leave I'll never set foot here please let me go live far from here in peace," Pleaded Nightstream tears welling up in his eyes, Slipstream looks at his brother scared himself because he never saw his brother act like this before, "sir I think you've got th--" started Slipstream but Arrow cut him off with a paw still watching Nightstream, "no young dragon I recognize this dragon due to those scars the one that barely missed his right eye I gave him right after Volteer gave him that scar in the battle for Windhelm fortress", stated Arrow with a tone of sympathy that made Nightstream stop shacking in fear, "now Nightstream if you seek if you believe people will reject you because of what you did in Warfang then don't come but if you go there for redemption then I promise you that no one will reject you," promised Arrow Nightstream looks to his brothers who had a hopeful look on his face and then back to Arrow then to the ground thinking it over as he sits back on his haunches. "I'll come to the tryouts and seek my redemption", answered Nightstream with strength and confidence, "your back brother your ba--", Slipstream started to think when he saw the sadness I his brother's eyes, "I'll come as well" Stated Slipstream in a neutral tone and with a smile but on the inside he was screaming in frustration and sadness at his brother. Arrow smiles at their answers, Good the tryouts will take place in five months train hard and see you there," with that Arrow takes to the skies flying to Warfang with renewed vigor he didn't have earlier in the day, the two brothers look to each other making a secret pact and started to train with giant grins on their faces that hadn't been seen on each other's faces since their child hood.
