1 Born in the moon light.

It was supposed to be a silent and still night and it was untill ...

It was not....

The night was beautiful, it was a full moon after all and beautiful stars dotted the sky, and the sky was also cloudless. There was not a soul in sight but if you would listen carefully you would hear the cries coming from deep in the forest a bit eerie, right? And it sounded laboured, like pants of a wounded wonder ox, the sound grew and the sky began to darken gray clouds appearing out of thin air and covering the stars.

But the moon remained steadfast though, causing the clouds close to it to fade back in it's glow ....

The night sky flashed with streaks of lighting, thunder bolts ,and strong winds assaulted the night. The cries grew in the forest, and so did the storm.

And then as suddenly as the storm came it began to rain suddenly and heavily , like hailstones coming down hard on the forest, the drops like glistening blue pebbles in the moonlight. The wind grew with the rain, it hurled the weaker trees up from their roots and far away,the stronger ones that could wistand it were bent almost to their breaking point yet some did break.

It was no longer a silent night instead no one dared to step outside for fear of being taken away by the wind .And yet the cries in the forest grew the no matter how hard and heavy the rain was it did no cover the sound of the cries ...

Suddenly, just as it started it stopped, and the clouds that once filled the sky disappeared to nothing, the winds settling down into a gentle breeze.

There were no more cries in the forest, it had stopped just when the rain did, and it was once again silent. Just as it should have been in the begining.

The insects began to chirp happily calling to their mates, growls and roars followed as the night beasts awakend they too calling to their mates. And a baby's cries were heard coming from the forest.

🌚. 🌝🌝. 🌚

"I'm sorry ... mommy is sorry but you will be safer this way ," a young lady with delicate feautures and long black hair wept as she placed the wailing child she had just finished wrapping in a soft green blanket on the floor.

"Mommy is so sorry," she kept on mumbling to herself as she wrapped her up,and stood up turning her back on the wailing child , tears streamed down her face .

As if she knew she was about to be abandoned her cries grew as she hiccuped , tiny chubby hands reached out as if to grab unto her mothers dress. Her eyes so green they were like glistening emerald stared with grife, as she watched her mother.

The woman's face mirrored that of her child and she kept on mumbling "mommy is sorry, mommy is sorry, mommy never wants to leave you....mommy loves you" She turned back to the child and placed her palm on the child's shoulder.

Her eyes flashed pure white for a second her pupils disappearing as her palm lit up and then dimmed. Then she stood up turned around and disappeared into the night leaving the child there.

"The half kittling is born," Ruby snorted out fire as she mentioned this to the other dragons her red ruby eyes sparkling with excitement as she wipped her tail from side to side. "I shall go get her ".

"I can feel her too mate,"Zule her mate said as he stood up "and no Ruby its too dangerous remember our kind is almost gone you can't go for her, not yet" .

"But she's alone now I shall clothe myself and be back before you know it, they won't see me and you know she's our only hope. "

"I know and that is why you can not go for her now. Its not the right time. "

" Then when is the right time? We need her with us. "

The slivery dragon who lay down quiet beside them both as they talked opened her grey eyes at this question and snorted . "The kittling shall be brought to us. "

🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐯🐯🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅

Not long after the lady left the wailing child a white tiger walked by a saw the child, he walked around her sniffing, and growling before he huffed and then reached with his mouth and lifted the baby by her blanket, turned around and began to walk due east .

He walked till he reached a garden a then placed the child on the ground and roared. He walked around and roared louder again and again. Until a petite lady came out cursing. " Damn it, White I'm here what is it?"

He growl nudging the child towards her with his nose.

"Oh my so, cute is she the one? "

He snorted and rolled his eyes as if to say *obviously*. "You found her in the forest?" She frowned starring at the child as if trying to figure out why, then shook her head and glanced at White. " White you really should talk to me and not just growl and snort all the time, it's realy getting on my nervs, especially the eyerolls," she said as her bent and picked the child. At White's growl, she raised an eyebrow. "Come on I'm more careful than you."

" I know it does and that's why I do it Glen," White flicked his tail then turned to go.

"Hold on, what should I do with the child?"

"Take care of her?" His whiskers twitched in amusement,

"Yeah I know that part but..."

"Nothing, I will be back for her," with those words White left.

She stared at the green eyes looking up at her and sighed.

"I guess it's you and me now, atleast we will have each other for company. Now, what shall I call you?.... Waterblue, is that okay? See I've been working on this spell on how to a lilly green but always turns blue, plus happen to like the name. What do you say? "

Waterblue just like the blue water drops that reflected the moon when she was born.

Then, Glen took her into the house and closed the door.

😉😉😉

She was pale as she teleported into her room after all, it was not every day a mother gave up her child. But it had to be done, left for Lonel the child would be long dead and if he found out what her child really was and who the real father was, then she would be better off dead herself for not bringing the child to him. But hopefully he wouldn't find out and so would not go look for her. At least, it bought time for White to take her away.

"Were have you been?" A sharp voice cuts into her thought startling her.

She turned rigid as she tried to hide her disgust, as she glared at the man sitting before her fire place. Though, her windows were always wide open she knew he did not come in that way he was the high mage after all. "Out on a walk, did you need something?" She failed anyway as he smirked at the irritation slipping out her voice.

Ignoring it he motioned her to come to him then in a whisper asked, "and the child."

"Dead as instructed, "she bowed.

"Then thats good news my sweet, it was a abormination afterall and it was bound to end this way sooner or later. Nothing messes with my plan."

"Yes my lord. "

"Now what sould we do with you, Cloud dear?"

"How do you mean my lord?" Cloud paled and stepped back subconsciously but failed when she tried to move again. The monster had dared to glue her to the floor with his cursed magic. Her eyes flashed as struggled to free herself but to no avail.

"Do not fight me dear, I won't hurt you, " he stood up and placed his hand on her head moving it to her check in a what would look like a caress.

Immedaitely, she threw up her mental shield and began to think about dates and oranges and flowers and blood fruit.To bad he did not intend to read her mind, he did something much worse than that though. He cast a spell on her bonding her to himself forever.

"You left me no choice my sweet."

Two years...

Concerntrate Blue imagine it coming towards you like a calm breeze, kissing your chin cooling the fire in you.... not that, it's not a weapon, no it's a loved one and a beautiful calm melody, yes yes good." Glen Waterblue's protector cheered as she watched her lure the apple towards her from across the room.

It was a wonder what she could do and so far Waterblue was the strongest mage Galena had ever encountered. She was so young, just shy of two years but she already knew how to use her power which was not common. Fact was mages only found their power at the age of thirteen. Although the could zip and zap, which was rear, and often between the age of six.

"That's it for today, rest now you have school in the morning."

"Yes mother,goodnight mama " Waterblue said as she made her way to her room, as she sighed to herself wandering when she would be done with that stupid school she never liked school it was boring and most of her age mates were rude and bullies. She never complained maybe at first, but later always found ways to get back at them.

Plus, mother had thought her a spell she could use to avoid them when neccesary. Not that it worked always but she was gettong better at it, perharps one day she would make her teacher avoid her for the whole class.

«Waterblue come.»

Deep into the night...

"Glen it's time for her to go."White said as his nose twitched in annoyance at Glens reluctance to part with Waterblue. It was time for her to start her training with the dragons but Galena kept insisting that Waterblue was still young.

Yes, she was indeed young but that was how it was supposed to be she was after all the only dragon born and as it was bound of her she was to be trained and thought the ways of the dragons. Or she might get bloated using so low magic for a day and expose herself to the world.

"But she's still young and won't last in the Moongrove," she argued.

"You do not know that, she has go now that's way it is Glen. With what you know how can you be sure to teach her well."

"You are so welcome White, you left her at my doorstep no word from you for two whole years come tomorrow and now you, Talk bad about my skills. Nice just nice." She ranted.

"How do you feel now ater that?"

"Much better, but Blue will be just two on the 'morrow. How will she survive it?"

"She spent two years with you that alone proves she can pass any test at the Moongrove."

«Come Waterblue. »

"Do you not see how different that is, am a mage and so is she."

"Wrong she's a halfling and try as you might she will not fit in with anyone else but the dragons they alone will know how to train her. "

"But..."

White growled in irritation, "Sapphire is growing impatient. The child is to come before she turns two. The dragons call her already."

"What?"

«Waterblue child come.»

Waterblue tossed on her bed, she was burning all over and her name. Someone was calling her name but it was not Glen. No, the voice was softer and melodic like a song it tune trying to lure her into a dance. But no she wouldn't.

«Wayerblue child come.»

It called again she struggled turning to her side, now it was cold to cold she would warm herself up.In her subconciousness she imagined woods, plenty of woods and then she lit it on fire.

Ah, so satisfying it was warm now but not warm enough, so she willed the fire to grow and more and more.

When Glen came running to Waterblues room, she was on the bed and her room was on fire.

"Air, "she commanded gesturing and trying to out off the fire but to no avail.Her eyezs flashed gold again and again but nothing happened instead it grew. "Water, "she gestured still nothing.

" Thats usless against dragon fire you should know. "

"But Blue?"

"She's safe, and has to go now."

Resigned Galena turned and walked out of the room.

While White took in a deep breathe and then roared then the fire died into tiny ember and then fades leaving a red ruby in it wake, he stalks into the room lifts her with his mouth and with a flick places her on his back. Then he turned and stalks out of the house, his white fur shining in the moon light.

Dice lay on his back hugging him tight and so warm were the thoughts on her mind.

Glen stood by the window watching them untill they disappeared into the night tear drops rolling down her cheecks.

"My dear Blue, take care."

🐉🐉🐉🐉 🐲🐲 🐉🐉🐉🐉

"She is strong and just right."Saphira sighed puffing out smoke as she turned from the dragon eyes.

The eyes that had shone all that needed to be known. Wayerblue was on her way to Moongrove it was time for the next step.

Thanks for reading.
