(This story swerves away from the usual land of Dragon Essence. The setting now consists of the planet Earth that has been mentioned occasionally in Dragon Essence.) In the beginning there were three ruling races. The humans, the elves and the dragons. The elves were one with the dragons. For every elf that is born a dragon would be born as well. The two would be one. The dragon would reflect the elfs nature. Fire would be powerful and brave. Earth strong and sturdy. Wind agile and free spirited. Water wise and elegant. Each having there own clan. The all races and clans lived in tense peace. Four times every year a meeting would be held, one for the beginning of each season. This is where the story begins. It is right after the summer meeting and everyone was beginning to disperse. In the morning they would separate to go back to their own provinces till the next season meeting.

"Well that was boring." Amber thought to her dragon Firen. It was there first ever meeting. At the age of 16 any elf who wanted to go was then aloud. She had heard that is was exciting to go and see the other clans, to take part in the discussion that kept peace between them. But it was all a bore. Everyone just talked about how the crops had sprouted and talk about trades for goods from other clans. Yada yada yada, non of it was interesting. And the older members never consulted you. So it all tallied up to a grand waste of time. "Well they have to be done. We don't want another war. Firen reasoned back to her in a deep voice. They were walking down the hall way that led down to the courtyard. Amber was wearing her dress robe, she wore for important occasions. It was red with a golden trim. across her back were her red feathered arrows and red ceder bow. Her dragon with red scales and was 2 times the size of a horse walk beside her.
They walked out into the courtyard and lay in the sun on the warm stone steps. They had to wait till after the banquet to leave and it was still only mid day. "So is there anything you want to work on when we get back to Fotiana City?" Amber asked. "Well there isn't much but I think I'll practice my accuracy." Firen responded thoughtfully.

Shadow and Darkness had heard of this fabled peace meeting. The Darkness Clan had never heard of it, nor attended it. Well, he was on a mission from the leader. To assassinate a certain dragon and her elf rider.
Shadow was near the clearing where the fabled meeting was. All the people were leaving now, and didn't notice him and Darkness. Now where were those two victims?
Shadow went right into stalking mode. Darkness melded into pure shadow, then blended into Shadow's shadow. He walked with the crowd, looking for the fire clan.

Firen was laying down on his stomach watching the people pass with his eyes half closed, content in the suns rays. He was skimming over the people across the court yard when he nearly missed a strange black dress figure. Opening his eyes completely he took in his description. As Firen had noticed before, the figure wore all black. He had black hair to accompany the black outfit and a pale face to top it all off. "Hey Amber, look at that person over there. Can you see him?" He thought to Amber. "Hmm?"'Amber opened her eyes a bit and sat up on her elbows. Everything was tainted with a bit of blue because she had had the sun on her eyelids for too long, but it didn't take long for he to see the figure Firen had seen. "Ya what about him?"

Shadow lowered his eyes and pulled up his hood. No one should recongnize him as a demon from the mythical Shadow Clan. Only if they didn't notice his eyes, hair, and the tail. Plus the scythe was still in it's sheath. He hoped he could find his target soon, the sunlight hurt.

Both Amber and Firen saw him put on his hood. "Now what's he doing that for?" Amber asked. "And where is his dragon?" Firen added. They both watched the strangers progress going along the wall across the court yard. "AND why is no one else noticing him." Amber though in "a mater of fact" tone.

Shadow hoped nobody saw the tail. But he prayed his wings wouldn't come out. Young demons like himself sprouted raven black wings at some point. He hoped they wouldn't come out now. They had sprouted a week ago, and were growing fast.

"Ya think we should check him out? "Na." The people between them thinned just long enough for them to get a good look at the stranger. Amber noticed something move behind him. "On second thought, lets." Amber slouched up, being careful not to break her bow or arrows. With Firen at her side they walked across the sun lit courtyard to the dark clad figure.

Targus sat there glaring at the building in front of him. It was where the meeting was being held. He knew plenty of things that might help all the world but even if he was the right age, no one would listen to him. He sat there spinning his sword in his hand. Agate had run off again and Targus couldn't find him. "Hes in there again I just know it. I'm in enough trouble as it is, him sneaking into the halls is gonna have me run out of town, again." He said shaking his head.
He couldn't take it anymore. Targus put his sword away and looked up at the wall of the Great Hall, and started running. He jumped up smashed a holding for him, he did this over and over until he climbed to the top. "OK Agate, where are you." He looked around and saw nothing. "HEY YOU!" Someone yelled from below. "GET OFF THERE NOW!" Targus looked at him, it was one of the guards Targus then had an idea. He jumped off and slid down the wall right next to him. "What seems to be the problem?" The guard looked at him funny. "I don't see what was wrong." The guard started yelling at him, and a crowd started to gather. "Perfect." he thought. "Agate is always gets to be the center of the crowd, hes gonna run up and try to do something soon." He looked back at the guard who was still chewing him out, waiting for Agate to get him out.

Amber stopped and looked at the crowd gathering around some one. There was a so much shouting that she didn't know what it was all about. "Can you see what's going on there Firen?" Firen took a look and said, "Some earth boy is getting yelled at.""thump-thump-thump-thump" They both heard a galloping noise and when they turned to look they saw a earth dragon running full speed towards the gathered people. Unfortunately they were between the two points. "Look out!" Amber yelled as she jumped forwards out of the way, while Firen flapped back.

Shadow noticed his targets from across the crowd as they ducked out of the way of an rampaging earth dragon.

"Agate, what have i told you about charging through crowds? And why the hell did you leave. You know what, don't tell me, we don't have time." Some of the people that Agate had crashed into were getting out there weapons. "Hey Tar." Agate said. "I think we better tunnel out, the bows would get us in the air." Targus pulled out his sword and had the blade clone it self into a second one. "I think you better hurry, looks like the guards are coming and they seem madder." Targus then got into a stance ready for any attack.

Shadow looked around, saw the earth elf-boy preparing to fight. Forgeting to keep his eyes down, Shadow whipped his scythe out.

Amber heard the sound of a weapon leaving its sheath. Still on the ground she looked up. The Dark figure from earlier had taken out a scythe type weapon. Abandoning talking with Firen by use of her mind and said to him, "Firen we better get out of here! We don't want to get sucked into any of this!" "I agree. Get on." He said kneeling down for her to mount.

Shadow spotted his prey getting away. Darkness melded out of his shadow and roared. Hopping on, Shadow slammed the scythe into the dragon's side, then threw a dagger at the earth dragon.
