The Tales Of The Unknown

Written by Crystal 
== Smoke and Haze ==
Tamarin still had the blurred memory of when she struggled out of her egg.
She had a sudden cracking feeling and she felt safety, warmth; But there was…
Nothing.
Only darkness, and nothing else.
She yelped in pain and surprise as she bumped into something. She felt someone lift her.
“It seems like this one is blind… I’ve never seen a blind dragonet before…”
She had no idea what that meant. But she felt comfort, and haze eat her….
She was lost in the dark.
Someone was chasing her.
She fell, unable to stand up again.
She wanted to cry out, but no sounds came out.
She felt cool air suddenly touching her scales. She woke up.
“Tamarin?” A voice mumbled right next to her.
Who?
She told herself, I’m Tamarin…
Then, who was the dragon next to me?
Kinkajou.
She reminded herself.
The one dragon who saved Tamarin from the hopeless, endless smoke.
Her friend.
You can never do this.
You will never escape from the darkness full of smoke and haze.
She felt something brushing her talons.
She leaped back, startled.
It was only a plant.
A plant that never cared that she was always surrounded by nothing.
A plant that only shared its beauty even though Tamarin couldn’t see.
She heard dragons shuffling from their spots and swiftly moving to the hammocks for suntime.
She slowly made her way to the village and landed on a low platform.
It might be her imagination, but she heard whispers.
She will never see the light.
She’ll be trapped in the smoke forever...
Tamarin felt the red, crackling feeling.
She wasn’t standing with the smoke anymore.
She was standing with the blazing, blistering, burning flames.
She accidentally lost her balance because of her fire,
And fell to the ground with the ashes.
You will never escape from the endless smoke, haze, and Darkness.
There was nothing.
She couldn’t feel anything.
Only nothing.
The smoke was beginning to catch her.
“Tamarin?...”
It was an unfamiliar voice.
Tamarin couldn’t see anything, but she felt the dragonet’s scales changing to blue.
She felt warm tears drip on her scales.
“These scars… Tells the stories of a brave, Rainwing who fell from the trees multiple times, acting like it’s all fine when she’s always surrounded by darkness…”
“Who...” Tamarin gasped “Are…”
“Kinkajou.”
The dragonet smiled sadly.
“It’s Kinkajou. Tamarin, I'll promise I'll be next to you and keep you with the light forever.."
That was when her true friend made her see the light for the first time.
== Betrayal and Hope ==
There will be Betrail,
Secrets,
But there will still be hope.
Secertkeeper was flying, desperate to escape the place of misery.
But the faster she flew, the louder the whispers became.
Traitor…
Secrets…
Betrail… 
But Hope…
The Whispers came closer, 
She fell, but was able to stand up and keep running.
However, she saw a horrifying scene. Her egg, caught by the whispers.
“No!” But her shout only came out as a horse gasp, and her voice echoed in her mind.
The whispers cackled and the sound grew louder.
The sound reached Secertkeeper and it ate her like a fog.
This is what you get if you keep secrets… 
She awoke, feeling the burning heat of the lava around her.
“The egg! No, no, no!”
She found her egg lying peacefully in the hatchery, Its smooth, black surface glowing faintly.
"I won't make you live in this place of dread."
"...No matter what."
"I'll have to get through betrayal and secrets..."
“But I’ll do anything to keep you safe…”
She knew she was risking both lives.
She knew the whispers that whispered betrail and hope will come to chase her and her egg.
She knew this might end with her dragonet living in a place with hope,
Or It might end with her dragonet living in a place with only dread.
As she went back to sleep before the whispers surrounded her.
She told herself,
"Your dragonet's life will be hope or dread."
"But, If you truly love her, you need to take risks. and keep secrets."
As she drifted off to sleep, she desperately hoped her nightmares won't come true.
