The Protector
a fixed version of the protector.
At a bar at nine- thrity P.M. it was raining a bit, it wasn't a night anyone would even think about not being normal... oh were they wrong...
There the bartender looking out the window, as it rained a bit harder. "Man, it's gettin pretty rough out there..." the bartender said as he stared out the window then shaking his head. A customer called out to the bartender. "yeah it is getting rough out there, hopefully anyone outside better be quick to get inside." the bartender nodded in agreement. The bartender looked up as he noticed lights of a car pull up in front of the bar, there he noticed a shadow of what he thought was a dragon. As the Bartender waited for the door to open, and surely it did. there standing a golden scaled dragon, weearing a very soacked hoddie and jeans, standing there, closing the bar door behind him. a couple whispering customers speak to eachother but they are loud enough for the bartender to hear, "man hopefully this guy is here to get out of that rain..." a customer whispered, and another responding back to him." Nah, he looks like he's here for a drink, sheesh trying to get drunk a half hour before closing time, what a dooshbag." The bartender's face twitched a little, as the dragon sat down on the stool spreading his wings to a length of twelve feet, and shaking the water off. The bartender stood across from the dragon, "looks like that rain isn't givin up huh." The dragon shrugged his shoulders. "hehe , yeah that rain won't let up... the bartender shakes his head chuckeling a little "so what can i get ya?" The bartender asked putting both his hands on the table. the dragon smiled a little "beer please." the dragon raises one finger, stating just one. The bartender smiles a little " Alright one beer, comin up." the bartender turns and takes a beer off the shelf behind the bar, he opens it and places it in front of the dragon "enjoy" the bartender said as he turned around, and started to clean, some used shot glasses. the golden dragon took a few sips of his beer enjoying every sip, he sits back and relaxes.
A few claps of thunder and lightning shake the bar, as everyone jumps looking out the window, and it started to rain harder making it blinding outside. the dragon had turned quickly, and drank a few more sips of his beer, and getting up out of the stool and heading for the door. he leaves the bar and goes to his car. getting in his car, he puts the keys in the ignition, "c'mon... c'mon...." the car does not start, but only gives out on him... "Damnitt!" he yells, while smaking the dashboard. "stupid thing had to give out on me now..." The dragon gets out of his car and slaming the door. he enters the bar again, and sits on the stool with a very discouraged face. "hey, whats wrong?" the bartender asks him as he approaches the dragon, "my car won't start and i can't get home..." the dragon responded shaking his head. "Awww man that sucks... not being able to get home in this weather... hmmm hey maybe if i go ask the manager he might open a resereved inn room for ya for only the cost of five dollars." the bartender explained. the dragon's eyes brightened up, "r-really! aww thanks man i appreciate it." the dragon happily responded. the bartender smiled and, put another beer on the table for the dragon, then he left for the manager's office.
The dragon took a few sips of his beer, and sighed in releif. the dragon then strated to think. "hmm... what if my car started... maybe... it would of died out in the storm... or i could have even gotten lost out there...." the dragon mumbled to himself. the bartender came back, "hey i told him the story, he's willin to give you a room, and call the tow truck in the morning for ya, free of charge." the bartender explained. the dragon started to smile widely. "thank you so much, i appreaciate it, thank you!" the bartender shakes his head "no problem." the bartender smiled and got back to work.
The dragon had taken a few sips of beer, then the door had opened and slowly closed with many creaks, every one had turned and looked. there standing there in the door way was a dragon with a dark blue hood, and cloak. no one could make out his face but all they could see was a red chin, and if they look down they could see blue hands, and blue feet. A few whispers here and there were spread across the room "did he walk in that rain?" and in response, "well if he did that is one tough dragon."
the hooded dragon sat down three seats away from the gloden dragon, the bartender aproached the hooded dragon "you wanna drink, or ya here for refuge from this storm?" the hooded dragon ignored the bartender and laid his head on the table. "ah i see, you just need rest... and from the looks of it your pretty young..." the bartender examined a few moments, and got back to work.
the golden dragon couldn't help but stare a few times, thinking to himself, "how could somone so young walk through all of that...?" the dragon stood up and aproached the hooded dragon, asking hime "hey, i gotta a room, and if you needed a place to stay, you could stay the night here with me..." the dragon asked generously, but the hooded dragon ignored the dragon, and only looked behind him as a fox aproaches with an elbow blade. the fox gets closer behind the gold dragon, but only looks at the hooded dragon. "You the one they call Kie?" he stops, and tightens his fist. The hooded dragon, nods his head to the fox. "good!" as the fox dashes towards the hooded dragon placeing his elbow blade to his throat. "oh man this gonna be easy! i'll be able to finish my contract, any last words, before you die!?" the fox yells in the hooded dragon's face.
the golden dragon kicks the fox back into a table, and gets into a defensive martial art stance, "Hey! Leave the kid alone! can't you see he's tired! the golden dragon yells at the fox, as the fox gets up he dabbs a poisonous liquid onto his blade, "doesn't Matter, Cuz i'm gonna KILL EM!!" the fox yells back.
the hooded dragon gets out of his stool and walks up to the fox, then he grabs him by his throat and lifts him off the floor, and putting the fox's ear to his lips and he then whispers in the fox's ear, " Tenmo- Hashin- ayeamo- renkai" the hooded dragon then drops the fox and sits back on the stool, laying his head back on to the table. the fox stands and walks to the back of the bar, and curls up in a corner and starts repeating himself "the shadows are coming, stay away... the shadows are coming stay away...." the golden dragon looks over at the hooded dragon, thinking to himself, "did that just happened....!?" he then turns to the fox, "hey are you ok...?" The fox looks up at the dragon and screams, "they're coming for me! HELP ME!!!" The dragon backs in fear, and turns to see the hooded dragon, laying his head on the table, but he then started to slowly look up at him. the dragon rushed down to his room, and closed the door, leading himself to the bathroom, looking in the mirror. "th.. this isn't happening, this has to be a dream..." he turns on the sink and bends over to splash water on his face. he then stands back up to look in the mirror, and there hooded dragon was standing behind him. the dragon quickley turns around. "wha... the...!?" the dragon gasps. the hooded dragon runs upto the dragon and grabs his wrist very tightly, "what are you doing!?" the dragon yelled out. the hooded dragon then runs out of the bar, making him follow. the dragon asks in confusion, "where are you taking me!?" the hooded dragon takes him about ahundred yards away from the bar and he points at the bar. it was covered in a black mist, and everything in about a ten yard radius. "wha... what the hell is that!?" the dragon exclaimed. The mist eventually disappeared and, everything in it was gone. his car, the bar, the people, gone... "what the... hell...." the dragon stared at the bar, then looked over at the hooded dragon who was staring at him.
the hooded dragon looks over to where the bar was standing, a beam of dark light was hurtiling towards the dragon, and the hooded dragon took himself down along with the other. the beam misses them. the dragon was staring up as the rain was hitting his eyes. the hooded dragon spreads his wings out of his back, cutting two big holes in his shirt, then covering the dragon and himself from the rain. the dragon could not make a face from under the hood, just two light blue glowing eyes looking down at him. the hooded dragon looks up at another beam hurtiling towards them, the hooded dragon throws the other and the dragon hits the ground about ten feet away from the hooded dragon. as the dragon gets up to notice the other dragon with his palm aiming towards the beam locations and a flash of light came from his palm. the beams had stopped.
the dragon stands and looks in a very confused way, "this has to be a dream. i need to get home... but how....? i don't have a car..." the hooded dragon walks up to the dragon. and with a very gentle voice, he speaks. "I don't think you should go home, they'll be waiting for you there..." the hooded dragon mumbles a bit. the dragon is in fear, and confusion. "what!? who's waiting for me...!?" he yells a little. the hooded dragon mumbles. "demons..." the dragon looks in major confusion... "d...demons!?" the dragon sighs. "Garis, that's my name." he looks down at the dragon. the hooded dragon looks up at Garis, "k... kie... kiesenrio meirone wensima" he explained. "nice to meet you kie, now let's get out of this rain." garis said with uncertainty. kie pulls down his hood showing his face. he had a red chin and inner neck, outside of that was dark blue, he had light blue eyes, and had light blue hair, with two horns on his head, with a horn on his muzzle. kie spreads his wings. "i... i can carry you if your, injured..." kie looked up at garis. garis spreads his wings. "i have wings to ya know..." kie looks down "oh, right...." garis shakes his head a bit. "c'mon let's fly, maybe you can explain to me what's goin on" garis ensisted. Kie nodded. "o.. ok..." they took off.
