Dragon Born

In a world filled of both Dragons and Humans, Dragons were once the most powerful of the two species. Until Humans learned and began hunting them for sport, meat, armor, or even to turn dragons into their personal pets etc. Causing the dragon race to decrease drastically.

In order to survive, Several have sought out refuge and gone into hiding. While others sought out ways to live among the humans by transforming into humans themselves, with the help of some magic of course. A dragon who has turned human normally carries a piece on their person. Amulets, bracelet, some form of magical jewelry, an article of clothing, or even a magical tattoo, allows them to keep the form of a human. If the magical item is removed or even cut off the skin, the dragon can no longer contain their human form and become expose, so a dragon born is often protective of their magical item.
Having just the magical items isn't always enough to keep a Dragon born in a human form, the magic do so much. Things like emotions, anger, frustration, can cause a slight change of the magic, which in turn may reveal certain aspects of the dragons body while still in human form, ie tail exposure, horns, change in eye color, wings or even scaly skin can appear while in human form. While most older dragons have learned to keep their emotions in check as to not allow such exposure to happen, younger dragons are more vulnerable for their emotions to expose them. It has also been said that a few dragons have learned to expose certain parts of their dragon body while still in human form in order to benefit them in some way.

Humans, all have different attitudes towards the dragons. While some see it as cruel to hunt them, they have gone as far as trying to protect them. Others have made it their life mission to hunt, capture and even kill as many dragons as they can in hopes to whip out the species. There have even been tales of a few hunters, that have trained themselves and their hounds to spot dragon born without fail. Hunters are ones the dragons try to avoid at all cost. Hunters have been known to capture dragons to sell on the black market as pets, for fighting rings as sport, or worse... the unfortunate ones are killed and used for supplies and food.

Age: Human 22
Species: dragon born



Human name: Natalie
Dragon name: Nala
Age: human 6
Species: dragon born (Below image is of her appearance when her magical element fails due to emotions. SO human form, minus the dragon features)



Details: The two are sisters, their parents were killed by hunters and Valentina has been taking care of her little sister ever since. They both have similar features, that expresses they are siblings. Their hair gives off the color dragon they both transform into without their magical elements.


"GET EM"
A man yelled and several footsteps could be heard running through the wooded area. Valentina and her sister had been running and were both breathless at this point. Valentine gave her sister a slight shove in front of her
"RUN .....and don't look back... you know what to do"
The little girl nodded and ran away from her older sister as fast as she could. Valentine had turned and unsheathed her sword just in time to catch the soldiers blade from striking her.
"I wont let you take her"
Several clinks and clanks could be heard, a moment later a thump was heard.
"They're over here"
Another voice shouted and began running towards Valentina. Hearing she had a bit of distance, she started running in the direction her sister had gone, in an attempt to catch up and hopefully the two could escape without any further quarrels . But it wasn't long before she spotted her sister, who seemed to just be standing beside a tree. As she got closer she noticed a man who was standing behind the tree whom was slightly out of her vision at first. He was holding a blade to her sisters neck. As soon as Natalie saw her sister, she began to panick and reached out towards her sister yelling
"Val....Help me"
The panic and fear caused Natalie's tail, and her horns to appear. Seeing this Valentina had to act fast
"Nat...you need to calm down"
Valentina needed to calm her sister down before any more of her features become exposed which would take longer to conceal. Just as Valentina took a step closer towards her sister, she suddenly heard several foot steps approach from behind her. She turned and was faced with 3 other soldiers. She gripped her sword and took a defensive stance, allowing them to attack her first which would give her the advantage. The first man was easy to take out, the second and third both approached to fight her 2 on 1 ...

 

The fight between the 3 didn't last to long, she was completely unaware of what was going on behind her as she was focused on what was happening in front of her. One of the men took his eyes of Valentina, she didn't question it and used that to her advantage and lunged her sword into his belly. As he hunched over trying to grab stop his organs from falling out, she rolled crossed his back and jammed her sword into the others man, who was distracted by the scene in front of him and staring at his partner wide eyed. He was suddenly dropping to the ground after having the sword impaled through his skull. As she turned to face her sister, she swung her blade up under the man throat, to finish the man who was now kneeling with his intestines in his hand. She gave the blade a quick pull as it met his skin, slitting his throat.
It took her a moment to take in the scene before her, a man standing over her sister holding her face in his hand. Being the fighter she was, she knew panicking would only leave her at a disadvantage. She moved her sword in front of her and gripped it with both hands then narrowed her eyes at the man. She spoke with a growl, but her breathing expressed she was worn from battle
"Let....her....go"
No matter what, she wouldn't give up easily. She gripped her sword even tighter
Natalia stared up at the man who was now holding her face, she was confused as to why the man saved her and was now holding her hostage.
"Please...don't hurt us"
Her voice was very faint. Unlike her sister, she wasn't very strong. She hadn't a clue what this man was going to do to her, or her sister. Her eyes looked over at her sister, seeing her sister standing there gave her a sense of relief knowing she won the battle with the other 3. But she wasn't sure what was about to happen now. She spoke out towards her sister
"Val...."
Hearing this Valentina glanced over towards her sister and spoke to reassure her
"Don't worry Nat, I'll save you"
She glared back at the man waiting for him to either say something or make a move. The anger in her eyes gave of a hint of red color around her pupils. But unlike her younger sister, she knew how to refrain from exposing herself any further

 

As he spoke Natalie noticed the draconic tone and realized he to was the same as them. But instead of getting in the way of the two she stood back and watched to see what would take place.

As his claymore met her blade, she felt the weight of it instantly. It took a lot of strength for her to push back against it, as she did she spoke.
"They came after us...I was protecting her"
She shoved him and his blade back enough to give her space which knocked his helmet off. It was then that she realized he to was a dragon born. She suddenly had a look of confusion wondering why her own kind was fighting her. She took a few steps back to put some space in between them. She gripped her sword in front of her again
"Why?"
was the next thing that came out of her mouth, if it was a fight he wanted, she wasn't going to give up easily.
"No matter what it takes, I will protect her, even if it means fighting my own kind"

 

Natalie thought for a moment, she was feeling a bit tired after all that running, at this point her exposed dragon areas went back to normal and she looked like a normal human child with silver hair. She climbed down the man with ease as she was used to climbing trees to scout out the area for her sister. Once she got down she slowly crawled over to her sister and began checking her for any wounds. Only noticing the red mark on her face
"Is my sister going to be ok?"
The expression on her face was one of worry as she turned to look up at the towering man.
"Why did you hurt my sister?"
She looked back at Valentina and brushed the hair away from her sisters face, and tucked it behind her ear. As she leaned forward to do this, a part of her amulet slipped from neckline of her top, exposing a glowing blue stone.
"She was only trying to keep me safe from those hunters, they had been chasing us for quite some time...."
she paused for a moment before continuing
"once they discovered what we were, they began hunting us. We had been running for 2 days"
She looked up at the man and a stray tear fell from her eyes, she was completely exhausted from all the running they had done. Her eyes were beginning to feel very heavy and she looked defeated, but something about this man made her feel safe. She used what little strength she had to curl up and cuddle next to her sister. Her faint voice asked one last question
"Why do they....hunt us?"
Before he could answer, she had dozed off.

 

Human Name: Tyran
Age: 19
Species: Human
Wolf name: Asher
Asher and Tyran have the ability to mind link to communicate which gives them the advantage of tracking.


A young man knelt down next to a pair of foot prints, his wolf appeared next to him sniffing the air and looking around cautiously. He stood up and looked around the area where Valentina took out the first guard. He followed the tracks and knelt down again not far away to study the foot work.
"They where here not long ago"
he stood up again and studied the dead bodies, he then mimicked how he thought the battle took place, tracing the steps of the woman.
"Hmm, she put up a good fight."
He turned to face the men behind him.
"Their tracks stop here, it looks as if the one was knocked out, which will give us the advantage. There isn't any blood to signify that she was killed. The little ones tracks ends just in front of where the others body laid."
He knelt down and studied the third set of tracks.
"It looks like whoever the third was, is carrying the two. This will leave them at a disadvantage"
The wolf sniffed the air and seemed to pick up a scent. Tyran signaled for some of his soldiers to move forward and head in the direction the wolf picked up the scent. Tyran would follow not to far behind them. He wasn't one to battle unless necessary, as he was more beneficial as the tracker of the group. But that didn't mean he didn't know how to fight, in fact he was deemed one of the 3 top hunters of his group. After sending 10 ahead of him, Tyran and his wolf followed not to far behind, scouring the area. His wolf walked next to him
"We gotta find them girls, they will be worth so much gold"
He said with a twisted smile.
"Female dragon born, sell for a pretty penny on the black market as pets, and from what I heard and seen, these two are rather cute"

 

The men Tyran had told to move forward, began closing in on the girls, or so they thought. They proceeded with caution after seeing what had happened to a few of their comrades. One of the soldiers had stepped on soft ground and before he knew it he found himself in a hole. 3 others had also found themselves in similar predicaments. The 1st man that had fallen, was with another who had witnessed him falling within the trap, he ran over and laid on the ground in an attempt to get his comrade out.
"ITS A TRAP!!"
another soldier from behind yelled
"Keep your guard up men"
yelled another. They unsheathed their swords and scoured the area with caution. The ones in the pit were trying their best to climb out.
Not to long after Tyran caught up to the men, only to see quite a few of them had fallen into traps. He held his hand up to command the others to stop moving. His wolf sniffed the air and mind linked with Tyran
'its a dragon born, but not the ones we are tracking'
Tyran spoke out loud
"and what of the ones we are hunting?"
Asher sniffed the air again
'I can pick up 2 different scents. One is very faint, the other is connected with the other dragon born'
Tyran looked forward and thought for a moment. He narrowed his eyes as he looked around to scour the area. At least 6 of his men had fallen into the traps by now. He looked back and commanded another group to move forward, since most of his first group were now stuck.
"Proceed with caution"
he commanded, the set up seemed rather familiar, as if he had seen this before. Whom ever set the traps, knew they were coming. Are they protecting the girls? if so this could be a major set back for him and his team. He shifted his weight all to one side and placed his hand under his chin to think as he watched the men, thankfully a few of them were able to get past the traps.
"If we don't return with these girls, Bhaulf isn't going to be to happy with us"
he looked down at Asher who let out a low whine. After seeing some of the men get past the traps he decided to take the same path as the one he was watching. In a way he was using his men to find the traps in order for him to get through.
"Welp it looks like we have a clear way through now. Asher keep tracking their scent but stay close"
The wolf went ahead to sniff out their target, Tyran followed shortly after, keeping a safe distance from the men. It wasnt long before 5 men ran into a man sitting down with a claymore. One man bravely walked up and spoke in a commanding tone while gripping his sword
"Drop your weapon, or we will have to kill you"
Another approached just behind him also gripping his sword.
"Tell us where they are?"
he was referring to the girls they were tracking

 

Just as the Ezekiel threw the mans body into the pit, Asher appeared from the shadows on the opposite side of the pit. He body was in a stance of one ready to attack. Asher was snarling at Ezekiel, his mane ruffled and just as Asher was about to jump at Ezekiel, a whistle could be heard and Tyran stepped out from behind a nearby tree.
"Stand down"
Asher obeyed his command stood down. The men behind Tyran also followed pursuit and stood down. Asher then walked over to Tyran and stood next to him looking in the direction of Ezekiel keeping his guard up. Tyran chuckled at what Ezekiel had said.
"You are correct, I guess I do need better men. Between the female and you, they stood no chance"
he scoffed towards his crew
"But to be honest, I didn't expect to run into you of all dragonborns. We are after those girls"
He leaned against the tree in a cocky manner
"This may be our little war, but tell me...... what are you planning to do with those two cuties?"
He propped his one foot on the tree and pulled out a dagger and started scraping the bark off a twig. He seemed rather relaxed considering the circumstances.
"You said so yourself, you have killed more of your kin then my men have. So if your planning to just kill them, why not turn them over to us? You have no need for them. You'll just dispose of them like you have done in the past to your own kind "
He didn't look up at Ezekiel the entire time he was talking, he kept his gaze down as if he didn't feel threatened. He knew Ezekiel was tough, but he was far enough away to react in case Ezekiel charged towards him
"We may have our own war going on, but this is not why we are here, for a change we weren't hunting you. We are here for them"
He looked up at Ezekiel, his face was serious as he continued
"You know those girls will go for a pretty penny on the black market."
He then chuckled
"Of course after my bosses will probably have their way with the older one. Before the sell her"
he smirked
"I mean you cant really blame them. You saw how cute she is, AND she's a pretty damned good fighter. She's been fighting and escaping my men's grasp for the past two days, all while keeping her sweet little sister safe. NOW that's dedication"
He shook his head
"If it were me, I would have ditched the child and fended for myself, she's only slowing her sister down"
He scoffed, then his face looked as if a lightbulb suddenly turned on, a thought suddenly came across his mind on getting the girls
" Despite our difference, I'd be willing to cut you in on the profit we make for them on the black market. All you gotta do is hand them over to me. I'll give you 50% of my cut"
He raised his brow
"Now this doesn't mean we will be friends, our war isn't anywhere near over.... I just need to return to my boss with those cuties."
He sighed
"With the men I have with me, it is completely impossible for us to take you on. So how about it, hand them over and I'll cut you in on the profit"
He was hoping he could bargin with Ezekiel, cause at this point it seem like the only choice he had. He was low on men and he knew they were weak from chasing and fighting the female for 2 days. If they tried to take on Ezekiel now, they were just knocking on deaths door. He was cocky but also smart

 

Tyran looked down at his wolf and his wolf up at him. He thought for a moment but in turn she wasn't worth the life of his wolf. He sighed knowing he would have to deal with the consequences of his bosses later. He pushed himself off the tree
"I'll be back, if not for those girls. It'll be for you"
she huffed in annoyance, turned on his heel and began walking into shadow of the night. Another whistle could be heard and his wolf turned to follow.
"Lets head back"
he commanded his men. They followed his orders and also left.

Valentina groaned as she began to stir in her sleep. Her eyes still closed she reached up to the side of her face which was now throbbing.
"What.... happ..."
she suddenly remembered she was in mid fight when everything went black, the person she was fighting ....his eyes were full of hatred and had the intent to kill in them. Her eyes flew open with the realization and while her eyes adjusted she reached for something at her side. She felt something heavy and looked down to see it was her sister sleeping soundly in her arms. She looked around to see where they where and when she spotted Ezekiel, she instantly shot up pulling a dagger from her side. She clutched her sister in her arms, and held the dagger up. Her face was full of anger and a hint of confusion
"What have you done to us?"
She spoke in a threatening voice but it also had a hint of fear, not so much for herself, but for her sister. She began shaking her sister, keeping her eyes on him as she spoke in a whisper
" Nat, wake up"
Her sister only responded with a sleepy groan, but fell back to sleep, she was far to exhausted to wake up. Valentina quickly pulled her sister closer to her and guarded her. If she had to carry her sister to escape, she would
"Whatever it is that you want, please.... just leave her out of this, she is only a child"
She had forgotten about what he had said earlier about her younger sister, her whole mission now was to get her sister to somewhere safe, but she couldn't take her eyes off him to look for a means of escape as she had no idea what his intentions were. For all she knew he could attack the two of them right then and there and end their lives

 

Valentina's eyes followed the Claymore as he tossed it next to her. In turned she lowered the dagger and sat it next to her, keeping her guard up. When he mentioned that her little sister saved her life, she looked down and brushed her sisters hair with her fingers. She was grateful that her sister was able to keep her alive. She sighed knowing she had failed her little sister, and shuddered at the fact of her sister being all alone. She kept her eyes on her sister as she spoke
"Everything happened so suddenly, I did whatever I could to protect her, and in the end I still failed, you think I don't know that already "
She looked up at him, she had an expression of remorse. When he had tossed her the water skin, she caught it and took a rather hearty drink of it, as she was parched from all that running. When she was finished, she sat it next to her for when her sister woke up, she would give her a drink.

She then went back to stroking her little sisters hair and continued to listen as Ezekiel spoke. When he mentioned Tyran and his hounds she froze, as she remembered what started the chase, that hound nearly attacked her sister. She had a grimace look on her face as she hugged her sister tightly.
"We didn't ask for this to happen, its easy for someone like you to be so harsh without knowing what all happened, but I cannot be ungrateful so I thank you for helping us"
Was all she said as he continued.

When he mentioned taking her sister with him, her eyes shot him a death glare. With her free hand she grasped the dagger next to her, but kept it in place. The hand she was using to stroke her sisters hair instantly wrapped tightly around her sister.
"What makes you think I'll just let you to take my sister from me? "
She shifted her sister in order to cradle her in one arm and quickly stood up with her in tow.
"I may be to tired to fight, but that doesn't mean I wont try. I will not allow you to take the only thing in the world that matters to me. She is all I have and I am all that she has left in this cruel world"

She narrowed her eyes at him, while clutching her dagger at her side tightly.
"Our parents were murdered by the very same people that were chasing us, our father fought to his death to allow my sister and I to escape"
She looked him up and down and studying his face briefly, she knew the type of dragon born he was especially since he made it well known. Something her nor her sister could do easily, they were considered a rare breed.
"There is a reason why they were hunting for as long as they were, with as many men as they had. I fought with several of their men for 2 days with little to no rest, doing all I could to keep me and her safe. So don't sit here and act like I have done nothing but "run", I fought and I have been fighting"
she spat out the last sentence coldly
"You know nothing of what we have been through"
She raised the dagger towards him clutching it hard
"My sister will go wherever I go, you cannot....no.... you will not separate us"
She began backing away slowly
