The Story of Tyrakus Draclow!

The Betrayal:
It was another summer day in the mountains of Sycala deep within these mountains lived a small clan of dragons they were few but powerful elsewhere near the mountains were a growing number of human colonies. The dragons lived in secret not wanting to fight with the humans if it could be avoided they were peaceful and knew that starting a battle would decrease their already waning numbers plus they realized long ago that for every human they killed ten more would take there place they were like ants you could slaughter them all but they would soon be back with more numbers. So rather than fight a pointless battle they went into hiding. This is the kingdom of Arconia. Our story starts off with two young dragons Tyrakus Draclow and his ally Caloka Blackwing They were young they were arrogant and they didn't like the peaceful life underground they wished for adventure They hated hunting only at night and wanted to fly the windy skis beyond the mountains They plotted against the clan and planed to drive out the humans and take back the lands they're ancestors called home they begun plotting a rebellion against the humans. Alas they're plans where discovered Caloka and Tyrakus where soon facing banishment from there home at this point Caloka and the other rebels betrayed Tyrakus and placed the full blame upon him Tyrakus betrayed and saddened did little to defend himself and accepted his fate Tyrakus was betrayed by his allies and rejected from his home he left that night to destinations unknown.

Watch My Power Grow!:
Tyrakus flew through the night skies he didn't know were he would go as long as it was far from the caverns far from the memories. This is all because of those damned humans... he thought to himself And how could the others betray me like that! Someday I'll have vengeance on them all! I will train myself And become more powerful then all of them They're stuck in those caves I have much more space to hone my skills now! Hah! I'll kill off the humans and then I'll return to my home Take care of the rebels who did this than I'll talk to Caloka I'm sure the others put him up to it he would never had betrayed me. With the humans gone I will surely become A member of the dragon council and have the glory that I rightfully deserve! Or maybe I'll just kill them too they don't need a council I shall be there leader Tyrakus Draclow lord of Dragons. Tyrakus drifted most of the night with visions of vengeance and power he soon forgot his sorrows and now had new ambitions. The sun will rise soon I should find a place to hide. he thought to himself. He soon found a safe place to land, behind a mountain was a small meadow a creek ran through it though he could not find it's source also in the meadow was a shady area where the rocks formed a small tunnel he found he could fit beneath this and that is where he often slept. He lived in this area for many years. He spent this time practicing attacks and honing his skills, he explored new lands and had many experiences he grew wiser and stronger by the day.

An Old Friend:
After many years had passed he saw a familiar shape fly overhead another dragon. Upon realizing this he called out from his hiding place and the other soon landed. It was a dragon from his clan, Tryan goldensky. Tyrakus had many questions for her. Are you the banished one Tyraku draclow? Yes I am Tyrakus. he replied. I am surprised to find your still alive the humans are swarming like locusts in these parts said Tryan. I've noticed no humans in this area. they are to the east of here. Aside from that what is going on at home? replied Tyrakus Tryan replied not much has changed from the time you departed there is few prey remaining so we are seeking new hunting grounds that is why I'm this far away. What of Caloka and his allies. asked Tyrakus. They still meet in secret many believe they are still up to something but none have raised a claw to stop them and the council seems not to notice. explained Tryan Interesting thought Tyrakus to himself. The sun will rise soon I should return said Tryan. Tyrakus Exclaimed in return, Tryan tell no one you saw me and do not return I am but a ghost now nothing more then a memory which must be forgotten I am dead to them... Triyan looked to him, I understand Tyraku you have grown strong come what may I beseech you stay safe. That I shall yet you must return the favor! Tyrakus watched as Tryan returned to the moonlight skies as she returned to the friends he once knew. Tyraku begun to long for his old home though it was boring and confining it was safe he had friends family and though he did not realize it he was happy. Now he had freedom and though he had grown strong and wise he had no friends no one to talk to and was becoming very lonely.

Learn To Be Human:
As time passed the human establishments grew closer to his lair soon he would no longer be able to keep his location secret. I'm not strong enough to stop them yet he thought to himself. But then he devised a plan, when the time comes rather then run away and search for a new lair he would take the form as a human and find there weaknesses he would then when the time was right exploit these weaknesses and use them to his advantage to defeat them all. Ah human scum your time has come he thought to himself. I shall stop you I shall be the hero of the dragons you humans are a threat to the planet itself I shall not only be the hero of dragons I shall be revered around the world for my deeds I shall hunt you all down myself just as I had once planned those many years ago! He vowed to himself. Time passed and the humans inevitably reached points close to his hideaway at which time he choose a human form a skill taught to him by the elders of his home when he used it he would revert back every fifteen hours but felt he would be safe. Upon changing to this form he spent a few days in his clearing mastering the new form he found it difficult to balance on two legs especially lacking a tail after mastering movement first walking then running and lastly jumping he started practicing speech no longer being able to communicate the way he used to he had to teach himself to talk which took a long time and he still had much trouble with it plus an annoying lisp when he said his S's luckily the language spoke there had few..

A New Life:
When he felt he could do all he could to prepare he journeyed towards the humans town. Hey a traveler where do you hail from lad? asked a tall man near one of the buildings. My name Is Tyrak I come from lands far from here I shall need to stay here for a while can you help me? Replied Tyrakus. That's an odd accent you got there an odd name too mind if I call ya Ty? Oh by the way my names Graf. Ty shall do fine now back to business I am new to this region and need some help. Said Tyrakus. So Graf showed Tyrak around the town, He showed him the pub the inn the marketplace and a few other areas. Ty, If your gonna be staying awhile there is a farmer that could take you in you'd have to work in the fields though. I am okay with that, Replied Tyrakus. Tyrakus lived in the farmers barn and everyday he had to work the food he was fed was very little (for a dragon) he hated the work he had to do this was no place for a dragon everyday he did the work he would always mutter to himself I hate my job I shouldn't be here! Even though he was human he still was stronger then the others. He could have left at anytime but wouldn't He would always remind himself  I am a dragon I'm better then them I will not quit. At night he would go to the pub and listen on conversations. He in time became used to this life when he was tired or angry he would revert back and fly around at night but he slowly even made friends in the town realizing how hard there lives where his hatred towards them begun to dissipate.

New Views:
Then came that one afternoon. He was in the pub resting when a soldier bursted in out of breath. Our group (gasping) We where exploring the mountains when we found a large cave there where dragons there at least a hundred of them we turned back and fled but a large dragon came and slaughtered the others I'm the only survivor! We must do something curse those dragons! shouted one person. We should unite with the other villages and kill them before they come after us. Maybe there was a mistake why would a dragon attack un provoked? asked Tyrakus Ty your a traveler and new to this region but dragons are pure evil they wish only to kill others and take the land they will kill without remorse for they have no feelings no hearts they're just mindless reptiles how they developed the skill to communicate we may never know but I'm sure they only use it to taunt there next victim before death They are cold blooded merciless monsters If we don't stop them they will kill again they will destroy each town until there are none left then burn the land asunder till there is nothing but ruin. exclaimed the villagers. No! Tyrakus argued The land that I came from humans and dragons could coexist and dragons were a lot like you they had feelings they had love and friendship they were wise creatures with libraries of stone and powers beyond imagination they cared only about protecting the planet and it's creatures they would help any human who asked and would only attack if severely provoked. If such a place exists how come no ones heard of it?! Asked the villagers Tyrakus replied because it is a hidden land where only the pure of heart may reside! Then how come you did not stay! Tyrakus Replied Because I was banished I felt hatred towards the dragons and was against peace. And yet you will defend them now?! asked a villager. Tyrakus replied yes these two races can live in peace I will fight for that. Tyrakus gets off his bar stool and leaves the room. Maybe we should consider a truce with the dragons if what the boy says is true it may be worth a shot. It was decided that the next morning they would vote whether to make a truce or go to war The message was sent to all the other towns for the next day would determine that worlds future.

The Plan Begins:
That night was the last night Tyrakus spent in the town fore it was the last night the town stood. It was a few hours after the feud in the pub Tyrakus was contemplating the events of the day when a cry was heard! Dragons! They've come to attack! Aaah!! What the it couldn't be Tyrakus thought then he remembered the plan he had made with Caloka " We will wait till the time is right then burn the towns one by one until the threat is gone!" Oh no! The humans finding the grand cavern must have been the moment he was waiting for! He thought It must be... IT must be Caloka Blackwing! Tyrakus runs outside to find a scene of total mayhem as Colaka and his rebels burned and thrashed the town. Graf runs up to Tyrakus these are the dragons you speak of?!! No exclaimed Tyrakus these are the dragons YOU spoke of!! The Dragons I know are different! Take as many people as possible and flee I shall try to stop them! Caloka! Shouted Tyrakus! Caloka stopped and perched upon the remains of a building, You dare to speak my name human?! How do you know it! Tyrakus Reverts to his true form. I am Tyrakus Ocora Draclow It's been years I see you haven't changed much.. What are you doing coinciding with the enemy? Exclaimed Coloka I have learned much in my years away from home I can see the hearts of beings and yours is still as black as coal. I've learned and experienced things you will never know! Your friends ordering you to betray me was the best thing to ever happen to me! Replied Tyrakus Caloka exclaimed Hah As if they could order me to do anything! At the time you were weak you could be sacrificed and buy the rebellion time to gain more allies We now have the power we could overthrow the council anytime we wish so they won't interfere we will annihilate the humans now! Tyraku you have grown strong join us and we will have victory together just as we dreamed we will be the leaders of this land!

No Peace To Come:
Caloka! Exclaimed Tyrakus I can convince humans and dragons to coexist there is no need for this pointless war! Hah! Caloka replied as if any dragon would live aside humans. I have... Replied Tyrakus They have much harder lives then we do they must struggle to live! Humans and dragons are alike in one manner there are some evil ones and some good ones but both sides seem only to focus on the evil half of the other If we look for the good in others we could make it work! Tyrakus you truly are a fool. Exclaimed Caloka I can't even imagine what they have done to your weak mind over the years I will leave you here and the rebels and I shall complete the plan! I won't let you! shouted Tyrakus So be it you no longer serve a purpose you will die here with these pitiful fools you hold so dear! Caloka Exclaimed With this he leapt off the ruins and took to the skies as did Tyrakus the other rebel dragons sit perched on the ruins set to watch the battle between there leader and the so called tainted dragon! The battle drew out for what seemed like hours but was most likely much shorter in the end Tyrakus who was much more powerful then his old friend won the battle Tyrakus dove down and slash Colakas neck during the in-flight battle Tyrakus watched as his ally fell from the sky and crashed below and the other dragons fled. Tyrakus landed near his wounded friend. Caloka he said, It was your betrayal that showed me the way and for that I thank you. I'm sorry that you did not change and were consumed with darkness. maybe if you had not interfered I could have created a better world for the future but alas you where to blinded by your own pride and as a result you may have doomed the great race you crusaded to save. I am sorry it couldn't be different but you choose your own path and it led to ruin I am sorry for your actions for I myself encouraged it. Perhaps this is my fault too..

To Lands Unknown:
The dragon Tyrakus sat there contemplating his friends death when the villagers returned. We saw the whole thing we are honored that you fight to protect us but it is to late to make a difference now.. You should go for our towns will soon amass an army and hunt your kind I'm sorry but this is the way it must be. Replied the villagers. Curse the fates what wicked games do they play we are merely there pawns and cannot change the way things are I have failed. No replied the townsfolk you have shown us that not all dragons are evil and perhaps we can open the doors of peace in the future but as for now we must fight. So be it Replied Tyrakus I shall leave these lands and return someday when it is safe. Tyrakus left he was once again alone an outcast from dragon and human society he decided to leave and seek out new lands and new places where perhaps he could finally find a place to call his home.

The End.
