| When Dragons Cry By: Night Angel |
All the things that had happened in the past had been forgotten, by the historians and the residents. It was only talked about in the old history books. All the war and differences that had led to so much bloodshed was rarely ever spoken of except by the elders of either side. Both sides were allied now. They traded together and defended each other whenever they needed it. They did not treat each other unfairly or anything. But they will soon learn that it takes only one person to rekindle the old flames of war and that these flames can bring all the suffering and bloodshed that they once held. It will take both sides to realize that they are wrong and to come to an agreement. The only question is when will they realize this. How many people will have to die in order for them to resolve their differences and go back to their peace full way of life? Dragonaria was the land of the dragons. They ranged from the fire dragons of the volcanic areas to the icy land of the ice dragons. The water dragons were in the lakes, oceans, and rivers. Sky dragons ruled the clouds over head. They would scout the lands and make sure that there were no intruders. What was not taken up by the fire lands, ice lands, and oceans, was a thick, dense jungle where they got their food and anything else they needed. Each land had a head dragon that over saw all of there kind. For the fire dragons, Lord Diablo and his mate Lady Shair. For the ice dragons, Lord Blizzed, and his mate Lady Frost. For the water dragons, Lord Aqaniss and his mate Lady Hydra. For the sky dragons, Lord Aero and his mate Lady Rainera. All of the rulers were fair and respected by the dragons below them. All the lesser dragons knew that they could count on their Lord and Lady. Vampirea was the land of the vampires. It was a low-lit place. The sun was almost completely invisible. And yet, despite the low light, there was abundant vegetation and food. They would trade the meat that they had to the dragons in exchange for the exotic blood that they could provide them with. Unlike the dragons, they were simpler in there rulers. Their land was not as divided as Dragonaria. They were all one kind ruled by one Lord and Lady. They were Lord Drake and Lady Dura. They both were good rulers. Their people respected them and loved them. They were fair, and conversed with the dragons very well. Most of the dragon rulers would sometimes tell them that they had the wisdom of a wise old dragon. Vampirea was safe in their hands, and always would be. Of coarse, this was all said before all the old and thought to be lost disputes were brought back up. That�s when the entire empire of both Dragonaria and Vampirea almost completely fell. |

| �Diablo?�, called his wife. Her elegant red sparkling wings were folded gracefully on her back. Her shimmering red scaled body seemed to glimmer in the reflection of the fire all around her. She was searching for her husband. There was a problem among some of the dragons. �Diablo!� She called again, her voice echoing thru the halls of their palace. �Yes, Shair, what is it, dear?� Diablo answered as he came walking down a flight of stairs, �What�s the matter, My Lady?� �There seems to be some talk among the dragons about the �Old Ways�� Shair told him. She looked as if she had been worrying about it for a long time now. �What? But how? They were forgotten long after the wars ended. There is no way that they could ever be brought back.� �That is no longer true, My Lord. There are already small groups questioning if we should be in alliance with the vampires. Some are even talking of revolt.� Shair put her head down. She always had a thought in the back of her head that this would happen. �Revolt.� Diablo, surprisingly, did not really sound all that worried. He sounded so calm and so content that Shair wondered about it. �I will go talk with the other Lords and Ladies of the other lands and see what we will do. �I can�t believe that the old disputes have been brought back up. I thought they were all forgotten.� Shair said. Her eyes held fear and her worries about the revolt. �Don�t worry, my dear.� Diablo told her soothingly, �nothing will happen. The other Lords will know how to resolve this.� Shair could only put her head down. She did not think that this could be resolved. She could only think that all of this talk would result in war with their once allied vampire friends. This would bring nothing but pain, death, and suffering to both of there worlds. She looked out after Diablo as he flew away to the land of the Ice Dragons. Mean while, in the Land of Vampirea, tensions were also starting to build. Vampires all around were starting to talk of the old disputes of the past and starting to question if they should be allied with the dragons. They claimed that the events that had happened in the past would soon happen again and it would only be a matter of time until they would happen again. One of Lord Drake�s messengers overhearing and understanding what was about to happen, left quickly and quietly to warn his master. �How could they have brought up the old disputes? They have been forgotten about by every one. Who has organized this?� demanded Lord Drake. He was furious over the questioning of the Alliance. �I know not their names, My Lord,� the messenger said, humbly bowing before him, �I only know of what they said.� |
