Hello there! This is Paint, I was a dragon that lived on Earth, but now I travel around through portals. Over the course of my life I've had many adventures, all of which are needed to be written down. I will leave that for another time. For this story, it was definitely in need of a narrator. Now on to the story!
____________________________________________________________________
"Now this is getting boring." I thought. Traveling through portals is pretty cool, but traveling through one too long can really bore you. I had been in this one for at least a day or so. It was hard to tell time in a portal. Well, I couldn't let my mind drift or I'd be stuck like this forever. "Got to keep focus. Won't be in here much longer." I thought.
Finally, a bright white light covered me and I jumped out of the portal. I landed on tall, soft grass. I tried to get up, but my legs buckled and I fell down exhausted. I decided to stay down. I lifted my head and looked around. I was on a big open grassland. "Now where in all of Pyrrhia am I?" I said. You see, traveling through portals is new to me. I can only land in an area roughly of the area I wanted to go. The place I wanted to go was an old battlefield. Several dragons that had flown through that area quickly flew out. All of them said an army of Sandwings had tried to kill them. Which was odd, the Sandwing army wasn't anywhere near there. Plus, the war was over as well. Me, being me, decided to check it out.
The grassland was quite calm, except for the occasional wind or buzzing of a bee. If this was suppose to be a battlefield where hundreds of dragons died, I wasn't seeing it. I finally managed to get up. I stretched out my cramped muscles. "Hmm, I think this is the wrong place." I thought. A low thrumming sound occurred, I flared my ears to hear it better. It got louder and louder to the point the ground was shacking. I buried my talons I the dirt trying to get a hold on the dirt. Then it stopped, nothing was moving. "Okay that was odd." I said. I looked around for any giant cracks in the ground, there was none. "Well, if it's not an earthquake, than what is it." I wondered.
I got my answer straight after that. Suddenly, dragon sized mounds of dirt erupted out of the dirt. There were at least a hundred of them. I stared, bewildered, at one of them. I reached out to touch one. A claw hand burst out. Then a wing, a tail, the mound exploded and a Sandwing stood there. This happened to all the mounds. As I studied them, they were all a grey color and radiated no heat. Their lifeless eyes stared straight at me. "Uh, hello?" I asked. As soon as I said that, they all charged at me. "You've got to be kidding me, an army of zombie dragons, seriously?" I said.
I dodged the first dragons, and I clawed at four more. One rushed down at me with its barbed tail. I narrowly missed it and sent a jet of flame right at it. The dragon burnt like paper and crumbled to dust. I did this to several more. This wasn't going to work, there were to many. I got hit in the face,bit in the tail, and got thrown to the ground. Ten Sandwings were charging at me. "If I'm going to live this better work." I prayed. I snapped my talons together.
Several portals opened up and swallowed the dragons. "Yes it worked!" I shouted. I snapped me talons more. The portals opened up and swallowed more zombie dragons. Then, opening again and spitting them out on other undead dragons. Soon the entire force was crumbling to dust. "Whew, that was hard." I said.
How had these undead dragons come to be? I wondered. I notice a bright reflection out to the distance. I flew towards it. I landed and looked at a single tall rock jutting out of the ground. A red ruby necklace was rapped around it. "Probably animus touched." I thought. A mound of dirt rose right next to the rock. I jumped back, teeth barred. Th mound exploded to a young Skywing dragonet. It looked only six years old. "Who are you?" it asked. "The name is Paint. Who are you?" I said back. The dragonet looked at me with its dead eyes," I'm Flight, an animus Skywing." He replied. "Well that explains one thing. Why did you enchant that ruby to rise up dead dragons?" I asked. "Because was killed in the battle, so I wanted revenge, before I died I enchanted it to resurrect Sandwings that would kill any dragon that flew though here." He said. "Even Skywings?" I said. "No, only Sandwings fly through here."'he said. "Well let me tell you something,the war is over. Now other dragons fly though here."'I said. "They do? Then my purpose is is finished. I shall leave now. Take the necklace somewhere else." He said. "I'll do that." I answered. A look of relief flooded the dead dragonets face as the wind crumbled him to dust.
I took the necklace off the rock. It still had its power. I snapped my talons and a portal opened. I walked into it.
