15- Warp
"But that still doesn't explain why I can't keep it! They may be bad but the nodes are still useful!" The young drake cried, clutching the small compass-like object to his chest. "Because it's dangerous." His teacher said for the umpteenth time, still...
14- Rage
"HELP ME RIFT!" Rift slammed his head against the concrete walls, tears flowing freely from his eyes. He couldn't bear it. The screams of his closest friend filling his ears were the worst sounds he's ever heard. He kept hearing the screams,...
13- Grudge
A few days had passed and the dragons were staggering through the swamp. They were exhausted and the terrain wasn't helping their morale. Sithris cringed every step, the marsh ground squelching around his paws at every step. He felt slimy and...
12- Dependence
Sithris pulled his head out of a pond in the cave, washing his mouth out, shuddering. Removing the large spider's hairs out of Rift's eyes had left him feeling sick and puking. He didn't understand his friend. With as much pain as Rift was in and his...

Sithris groaned as he stirred, his body still reeling in pain. His closed eyes stung and his stomach felt like it was churning. An almost hot heat surrounded him, like a fire that wouldn't burn him. Forcing open his eyes, he saw the sunlight radiating...
8- Clash of the Dragons
.Sithris dragged himself out of the lake, shaking the water off. He gazed up the hill, Rift's once home reduced to rubble thanks to a dragon Rift seemed to have too much history with. Walking over cautiously, Sithris moved toward the orange dragon who...

CRACK! Sithris jerked awake with a startle. Flashes of lightning made the cave entrance blinding, and thunder echoed through his ears. He placed a paw to his chest and breathed deeply, attempting to calm his racing heart. He glanced around,...
6- Fire & Lightning
"I'm coming with you" Rift's jaw dropped in disbelief, his eyes locked with the black dragons. He simply stared for a few moments, before straightening up and sneering. "No, you aren't. I stayed here like you asked, ate your food, and now I'm...
5- Outsider
Rift dragged himself through the woods, his tail spade knocking into every root and branch on the ground. Whatever happened a few nights ago did damage on a near comet-strike scale. It was a miracle the cave he found shielded him, lest he had been...
