My NEW story

This is not wizard 101 related and is not for school just fro fun please leave a comment if you like it.

I was slaving over the anvil, beads of sweat rolling from my forehead to my upper lip standing there hammering away on the thin, sizzling piece of metal in front of me. Then I look up to see my dragon egg shaking on the workbench and a grin came across my self and I simply said “Welcome to this world.”


Just to get this out, my name is Axel. I am 23 years old, and if I do say so myself I have biceps on my biceps along with a six-pack. Well that's enough gloating, I live with my mother, or I did before she died of a heart attack three months back. I've never met my dad and every time I used to ask my mom she would always say “He'll be back, he'll be back.” My girlfriend Viven and I would always go to the field behind my house and stare up at the stars until they fade back into the heavens above. Well at least we used to but that is a story for another day.

I quickly shoved the piece of metal into the freezing water and searched around in the cloud of steam, that the heat and chill had made, for my dragon egg and gently placed and it in my brown bull-hide duffel bag and ran out the door the go see the wise man Dalan, rumor has it he is the smartest and youngest wise men ever.

On my way there I stopped for a minute to look around and realized we (the wise man and I) practically live in a whole separate world from the futuristic, technological world that is Electrictic. Now, are side of town consists of the wise man's hut, my house, my forge shop, and our farm. Then I figured the wise man isn't going any where so I stopped of for a glass of milk (freshly squeezed from our cow Betty this morning). The hurriedly got back on my path to Dalan's hut.

When I arrived the wise man put down a pad out side and we sat down and waited. After a couple of hours I said “I have a couple of questions. First, why outside?” The wise man seemed shocked at the question”Well, these things are born anywhere from seven to twenty feet.” I was shocked just as much as he was by me asking the question. “Second, what do we do now?” I asked bored to death almost. All he said was “We wait.” Then, I murmured “Great, I rather watch grass grow.” But he didn't hear my last remark because he was sound asleep in his hand carved ivory rocker, so I figured I might as well take a little nap, as soon as I thought that it happened.

I woke up to the sound of the the egg thrashing about on the pad and gently shook Dalan awake. We stared in awe as a black-gray dragon emerged from the silver polka-dotted egg. Dalan went inside and the dragon followed, stumbled a couple times, but made it inside. When I tried to go in he told me to wait out here so I went back to my chair and fell asleep again.

I dreamed that I was flying into the heat of battle on my dragon with to long curved blades strapped across my back and a long, elegant staff in one hand and a golden dagger in the other. Then I woke up suddenly to the feel of the dragon's forked tongue licking my hand. The dragon looked much older now, as if I was asleep for ages. Then Dalan explained to me “I was in the hut using spells to make him even more powerful and that is why he is in his newly increased state.” I was puzzled at first how could you increase a living organism then it came to me maybe the wise man is more than what he appears to be. Then I asked “What spells did you use exactly?” Then he started his lecture “I used age, flight, fire, death, and speech.” I was shocked “What do you mean speech, can he talk?” He acted like that was normal and said “Yes, he has quite an impressive vocabulary.” I was still wondering one thing though, what do we call him and as if reading my thoughts the dragon spoke up and said “Call me Ace, after all it is my name.” We were both one hundred percent sure my jaw dropped to the ground “You were right, he does have an impressive vocabulary.” We all laughed for a while until Dalan explained why he had used the spells on Ace “I need to send you on a mission this world will end if we can not destroy him.” Then Ace asked “Who is he?” Dalan only said “You will find out in time I am only the messenger.” He vaguely reminded me of Yoda, a wrinkly, green, migate from a movie made almost a hundred years ago. He gave us each a to-do list. I had to make three blades (one already done), two daggers, and a shield. Ace had to practice his death and fire on the training dummies in the field. The Dalan went inside and made a vast array of potions and brews for me to take in my duffel bag at all times (why, I do not know, Dalan may be the youngest wise man but he is still old).

Now, time for the story of how I found Ace. It was a cold rainy day, the same exact day that my

mom died and my girl friend was taken captive by the Regnens. I was at the hospital in Electrictic (one of they few exceptions for me being in town) visiting my mom she had a blood clot in her lungs. She had been like that for six months, and if it couldn't get any worse the one thing she did before she died on that November day was take of her necklace that she had worn since I could remember. The last sentence she was able to muster was “There is always hope never give up, good bye.” After the doctor came in and pronounced her dead I stormed off to the Wolf Den, the only decent bar in Electrictic, to drown my sorrow in rum and scotch. After a couple of shots I wasn't the most sober guy around and accidentally bumped into a drifter from out of town. He didn't take it as an accident and before I knew it I was in a bar fight with a total stranger. I grabbed my half empty bottle of scotch and cracked it over his temple, but he was a tough guy and he kept on swinging. Then I started to lose my A-game and he sliced a shard of glass down the corner of my left eye to the middle of my cheek. He then proceeded to throw me out into the alley way where he flicked out a switchblade while I hid my bloody, bruised up face from the blade, but when I turned around he was gone. I started to look around for any trace of where he had gone when I noticed an odd green oval about twice the size of a basketball, but there was also a note it said “I did what I had to do. You will understand in time.”
