Dragon's Flight (Short Story)

This is a short story, that is of me and a Friend's roleplay.

About dragons, of course.

SPECIAL SPECIES OF DRAGONS:

Vulture Dragon (Sangi, Dusk, Coookiewizard): Silver-grey. Unusally large wings, and breath poisonous gasses instead of fire. Glide well, not fast, hard to take off, but not much flapping is needed. Well-known for good flying.

Crystal Dragon (Storm, Fluf42): Lovely crystals, poisonous crystal tailtip. Blue most of the time, fast fliers but flap a lot.

Sangi and Dusk are the leader's son and daughter. Dusk being older was supposedly going to have the heir, but he showed to be little to be trusted, and so Sangi has the heir.

Sangi glided around. Home was a huge, half-dead redwood tree. She only recently had learned how to fly, but she was good at it, like all vulture dragons.

Storm yawned, stretching her wings. She sighed, walking out of the pack caves. She flapped her crystal wings, taking off. She glided through the air.

The vulture dragon curled up gently. Her wings curled around like a blanket. Her eyes closed, smiling and dreaming of other things.

Storm relaxed, shaking out her wings. A dragon landed behind her. She growled, "Dusk what do you want." Dusk was the leaders son and for some reason she hated him.

Sangi awoke when her father shook her. "Sangi, want to come on a fly with me, my dear? I'm so busy, that I normally have no time, so I can finally spend time with you." He smiled. The leader wasn't leader for his brawn; He was quite the opposite, in fact. But his brains and his skills for doing something else he also taught his daughter to do, were in fact something deadly.

Storm rolled her eyes. "Go away Dusk." She shook out her wings, lifting off, annoyed. She soared at tops speeds through the air, trying to loose Dusk. Successfully she did rather quickly even though he was rather fast.

Sangi smiled, flapping until she was airborne. Vulture dragons flew higher than most others, and humans valued them for their ease of soaring. She was rather close to her dad as they glided.

Storm landed a little farther away from camp. Settling on a cliff of the nearby mountain. She watched, relaxed.

She, with her father, glided over Storm. Sangi saw Dusk down there, blinking in confusement. With a shrug, she continued gliding. Sangi was very respected as the leader's daughter, and had the heir instead of her big brother because she had proved to be more wise in her decisions.

Storm looked up at Sangi, smiled and took off. She glided back to camp, unaware of Dusk following.

She glided over the oceans, seeing sea monsters gulping flying fish that were skimming across the surface. They all knew the pack of dragons, and were allied.

Storm landed by a little pond. She looked at her reflection. She was not that well respected even though she was one of the fiercest fighters in a battle. Her mom had died when she was born and never knew her dad.

They landed on a small island, often the resting point of dragons. She smiled at her dad, looking up at him. "I'm sort of surprised. If I have the heir, it means I'm gonna be the first female leader of the pack." Sangi gasped, imagining it.

Storm growled. "Dusk for the last time, I get all the females adore you, but not me." She muttered, her crystals glinting in the sunlight.

"Well, maybe we could work together, and if you say... Help me kill the heir, then we can be leader together, Storm..." Dusk grinned at her.

Storm growled. "If you so lay a claw on Sangi, you have my word I will find and hurt you. We swore an oath to be a warrior and I'm not getting exiled."

"Ch. I already lost my heir because of her, I have no honor. I got disgraced when that happened." He said the word that as if it meant something. "So come on, let's be together. I'm a great male." Dusk winked.

Storm rolled her eyes. "Yeah..... that's not happening. You can try as long as you want, I don't like you." She mumbled.

Dusk rubbed his cheek against her, dragging a claw on her neck lightly in a 'come onnn' way. "We'll run away. Be free from rules." He grinned at her.

Storm squirmed. "Please remove your claw, and no." She said, trying to wiggle free. "The only way I will be mates with you if I'm forced to be mates to save the world." She muttered.

"It would save the world. Our world. Maybe Sangi's world?" Dusk decided to lure her this way, through bribery. He may not be able to really kill Sangi with her skill level, and the fact she knew the assassin stuff was a family secret so nobody would know, though.

Storm growled. "The only way I would be mates with you if the leader himself forced me." She rephrased.

"He'd do that for me, after all, I am his son." Dusk grinned. "He wouldn't listen to you." He swatted his tail. The leader was a little more sensible than that, but Dusk recently hadn't been happy with his father.

Storm sighed. "Look Dusk, why not find another female that adores you, why me?" She said, her claws digging into the ground.

"Time to go bribe my daddy, hun. You won't regret life with me. I'm leader's son, and I'll easily steal the heir from my sister." He glided off with a grin on his muzzle.

Storm took off, going to find Sangi. She found her with her father coming back from wherever they went. "Excuse me, Sangi may we speak?"

"Hu- Oh, sure." Sangi nodded, gliding to another island. There was a small strip of islands.

Storm bowed to the leader, and flew to a secluded meadow. "Sangi I believe your brother wants to take the inheritance right from you."

"W-What? He knows better than that, doesn't he?" Sangi gasped, eyes softening. She was unusually small, even for a vulture dragon, but had oversized wings because of the fact she was the type of dragon she was.

Storm shook her head. "He asked me to be mates and said if I helped him kill you, we could rule. Of course I said no or else I wouldn't be here telling you this."

Sangi gave a small shake of her head, looking down. "This is why he lost his inheritance. Dusk..." She whispered, biting her scaley lip.

Storm nodded. "Of course now he is going to force your dad to make me be mates with him." She mumbled.

"Daddy isn't like that. I'll explain to him." Sangi flew off.

Storm breathed. "Good." She lifted off and flew back to camp, her crystals glinting.

Dusk was standing there with his father, and Sangi evesdropped quietly. "You want Storm as a mate? Are you sure?" The leader blinked, surprised. "Well, yeah! She's pretty, smart- You wouldn't deny a good mate for your loyal son, right?" Dusk begged.

Storm sat in the corner of the  female den. Males had their own separate dens to all themselves.

Sangi felt a shudder. She remembered that her father still felt horrible for Dusk since he was giving her the heir. This was bad for Storm. "Father, Dusk." She walked out from her hiding spot. Dusk widened his eyes. "Yes, Dear Sangi?" He smiled at his daughter.

Storm leaned against the wall. She sighed, "I don't wanna be mates with Dusk." She mumbled.

"Dusk has been chasing Storm for a very long time, and I know she really doesn't want to be with him. From my word, as the heir, can you please not do that?" Sangi begged. Her father narrowed his eyes, turning to Dusk. "Is this true?" He scolded as if they were two arguing children.

Dusk glared at his sister. He sighed and hung his head. "It's just I love her.. please father? This once.." he looked up st his father, looking about to cry to convince him.

The father looked between them, then at his son with sympathy. "I'm sorry, but, you have done something worse enough to make you loose the heir and make it so your little sister has it. I must follow my heir's suggestions before yours, Dusk, as much as I hate to do this to my firstborn." The father took a deep breath. "My answer, is no."

Dusk sniffed. "Fine if you don't force her then I will." He narrowed his eyes, his tail swaying.

The father shook his head. "Dusk, the reason you lost the heir is because you're like this. You could be exiled for this." He sternly growled to his son. Sangi spat at the ground.

Sangi walked away. She flew off to the giant tree, seeing Storm. "My father said no, Storm." She gave a lopsided smile.
