Chapter 1: Blooded beginnings.

~2 years later, water sept riverside.~

Tom sat by the edge of the river he was borne and spent all his life in and around. He was quite an oddity among the dragons of the water sept, and oddity out of all the septs it seemed. The first feature that was odd on this young dragon was his scales, being a bright gold colour. This was odd among dragons as no dragon ever had this colouration, the closest being the yellow dragons of the lightning sept. The next odd feature about him was his heads, having three independent heads and necks, all joining at his broad shoulders. This was also uncommon but not unheard of within dragon kind though was only really seen in the earth dragons. His body was odd as well, although it was mostly the same shape as a water dragons, having the long and thin shape with the large tail, it also bore some unusual traits for water dragons, notably the stronger and larger limbs and the more muscle showing across his frame. For all these reasons most dragons his age and a few adults thought him a freak, openly calling him one at times and refusing to have anything to do with him. This usually got him depressed like he was now mainly because no one ever tried or let him befriend them leaving him alone all the time. He sighed as he looked into the slow flowing river with his sapphire blue eyes, all six of them. He was interrupted from his thoughts as he heard the distinct slithering sound of one of the henchmen nearby, obviously not the stealthiest one. He slipped into the water and swam away, being warned by his mom to not be ever be caught by the henchmen. Though he didn't know why exactly, he may be a freak but he was still pure water dragon wasn't he? "Why can't things just be normal for me." He thought to himself as he swam down river. "Well at least things can't get any worse." He finished thinking, not knowing how untrue that really was.

Kira sat down at home by her mate Aqua. Aqua was a more greeny blue than Kira, but not to much so. His features where quite similar to hers besides the three scars running along his tail and his deep brown eyes. "When are we gonna tell him." She muttered.

"Soon, there is no need to rush things." Aqua said.

"But what if something...."

"Nothing will happen I assure you." Aqua said and nuzzled his mate trying to comfort her. Just then there 1 year old son Tom slipped out of the water and into the cave. "Your back early." He commented.

"One of those henchmen where around, decided to come home before I was seen." Tom replied, walking to the back of the cave.

Kira looked at Aqua with wide eyes, worried. "Don't worry, it's likely just a routine check up of the area. Everything will be fine." Aqua said.

~5 hours later.~

Tom shot up to the sound of roaring and shot to his feet and looked to see on the other side of the cave a henchmen slamming his father into the wall. He also saw his mother heavily wounded, likely from the same guy. The henchmen shot towards him and knocked Tom to the ground before he could react. "Now you little freak, let's make sure you never bother my master." He said, bringing his jaw to go round Tom's neck.

"NOO!!" Aqua yelled, leaping into the wyrms side and knocking him off his son. Aqua then started to relentlessly slash at the wyrm, trying to take down the henchmen with all he had. This seemed to work at first due to the fact the wyrm seemed unable to resist the attacks but unfortunately that was short lived. He brought his tail round the back of Aqua and with one quick motion, impaled him through the chest, piercing Aqua's heart and rib cage. There was no doubt Aqua would die now.

"Pathetic, you could of lived if you cooperated." The wyrm said before swinging the dieing body of Aqua into the wall, finishing what was left of him. Something in Tom snapped as he saw this and he roared at the wyrm. It wouldn't of been intimated if it wasn't for the charges of light energy that appeared in the young drakes mouths before converging in the centre and blasting towards him. What ever he tried to do was too late, the wyrm was reduced to a pile of ashes by the intense beam of light energy.

Tom did not care what he had done, not even putting much thought about it. He just ran towards his fathers body to see if he was still alive. Regrettably he wasn't, but what Tom may of done then was interrupted by the chocking cough of his mother. "Mom..." He said, walking over to her.

"Go son...more will come." She said weakly, not sounding like she was going to last long.

"No I can't leave you.." Tom said, tears starting to run down his face.

"You must.....Or we die for nothing." She said and coughed up some blood. "Your father he's..."

"Dead.." Tom muttered sadly.

"No....Aqua he's not..." Kira started but she never got to finish as he grip on life gave out. At that point Tom just broke out fully into tears over his mothers body.

Tom stayed there for awhile, sobbing against his dead mother but got to grips with reality. If another wyrm came he was dead and he couldn't survive here with such a high risk. He needed to run away from here, far away. He did so, he swam away as far as the river would take him, not daring looking back for fear of being reduced to tears again. This is how it all started.
