Five years have gone by since the Paris crisis. But how it went, you'll have to check it out later, dear reader.

Now let me tell you the story of the dragoness Dazyn and how she finds herself with two legs, strange Two-legs. And how she sees her kind here. Dragons. Water breathers. She is not home yet, but who knows, maybe pandora can be the home Dazyn has been looking for. Now let's get into the water, but first, I want you to take a deep breath and trust me.

Things are going to get fascinating, bloody, and so much more.

Are you ready to follow me, reader? Follow me deep into the waters and a planet where Avatars live, where the Two legs and the creature live in peace and prosperity.

What will they say about me?

Help me find it out, reader, and together we will live the way of Dragons.

Together.

The Sky men walked aorund, guns raised. Avatar kids in their hands. They knew that Jake was out there somewhere, but they didn't realize that there wasn't just the avatar. No, Dazyn was out there keeping her (e/c) eyes on the new smelly creatures.

Her heart is hammering in her chest, and her pupils slit. She is angry. Very angry. Not only has those new skinny spicier thingy kids, but they are in the uneaten territory.

Being a dragon, Dazyn knows a thing or two about being territorial. When the avatar thingy started shouting, a bell went off in her mind, and she threw herself out of the shade for the forest, her (s/c) body glowing brightly.

I can't use fire! She thought as her jaws snapped aorund an avatar holding one kid. The kid ducked under as her talon swiped over his head. This kid had pale skin. Spider is his name.

His eyes were wide, and he backed up as one, and the team of the lousy avatar got killed or hurt. When only their leader left, Dazyn stopped her attack. Her teeth bared so much you could see her gums. Blood stained her snake-like tongue as her tail waved about.

Let the children go, or I will separate your head from your neck. Her threat resonated in all the avatars' heads even though it was meant for Colonel Miles. Jake and his freind stopped attacking, passing their adults.

Their yellow eyes were wide as they watched the giant beast snarl and flex her sharp hoodie talons.

Let them go, she looked at the one avatar kid that Colonel Miles and his men hadn't let go. The little bro Lo'ak. Her eyes were still slit, but her pupils kept dilating and spitting, her anger spinning down and up.

Let him go. I won't ask again, she growled, her eyes trained on the blue Na'vi/avatar hybrid fleeting to the big avatar.  Colonel Miles looked at his men strewn about, either wounded or dead.

With a sneer, he let Lo'ak go and threw his hands up, showing he would not shoot.

The beast sneered at d at him but lowered her head to Lo'ak, her voice going soft. You're free, boy. Go home. Lo'ak stared at her, his eyes wide and teary, "y-you saved us," he stuttered, and Dazyn smiled. I did. Now go; I will make sure these guys will go, she said, stepping sideways to let Lo'ak run to his siblings and parents.

But Colonel Miles wasn't done yet. He aimed the gun at Jake with a few clicks, but Dazyn saw it and let out a fierce earth-shaking roar. And before Jake and his family/friends could stop her, she stepped in front of them, taking the bullet instead.

The pain was so sudden I got too shocked to react. I groaned, my eyes shutting insatiably. 

Black spots danced across my vision. How I thought, how can I hit my... I'm a Sky Dragon, a dragon of armor. Argh, my eyes opened, and I saw the Navis. Their yellow eyes filled with tears. I smiled, gently lifting one giant paw and placing it on the young kid's head. Go, Maof Iri. Go home. I will never forget you, I said the black spots are coming back. 

But the kid didnt listen. "Papa, we gotta save her!" he called to the big adult Na'vi. The one I took the bullet for. I met his eyes and smiled, straining. Then, with much effort, I let my other talon go around my neck, not my head forehead. I unclipped the circlet giving it to the young boy. Take this boy. Go home now. I was fine, I promised him, but he wouldn't let me go. 

His hands closed around my shoulder plates and wrapped around my neck, hugging me to the best of his ability. "no, we're not leaving you," said the big Na'vi. The avatar that I threatened laughed coldly, "get that through your thick skull, jake. she is dying. you can't save her" that got 'jake' to turn around, his face contorted in anger. 

"you did this. You shot her!" but before 'Jake' could attack that guy, my tail wrapped around his waist, holding him back, n- argh, stay here. Let rrr.. he go, I strained out as I felt the bullet move. It would find my heart in a few seconds if I didn't get it out. Jake turned to me, his hands finding purchase on my tail, and the Avatars went away, flying away, but I knew this was far from over. 

"we will not leave you here to die, Beast," he said determinedly. I sighed, my eyes flashing with pain and compassion. You have a Dragon's spirit, Jake. You- ugh, you have my trust. My life is now in your hands. r...rgh. ... 

My eyes shut, and I strayed out of thought and time, falling continuously. I knew I would do this for all the right ones. my mother would do it. My father. Moons, even Darkstalker. Oh, Darkstalker, my love, I thought my vision flashed with memories. Of how we found each other. How our hearts connected. Was I going to leave him? 

Leave my kingdom? Dragons who needed me more than anything? my Rider? These people?
