I will be adding onto the first post so you don't have to look through the entire topic...
And here's where I put the character sprites. If you want one of your dragon just ask.
< Darkor <Glitter

PROLOGUE PART ONE

"Darkor! The eggs are coming!"

The sound of his mate calling roused the gray shadow dragon from his sleep. His first thought was annoyance, but once he heard the second sentence, he scrambled to his feet and leapt to Glitter's side. Dragon clutches can contain from one to four eggs, and it takes three months for draclings to grow inside before they hatch.

The two moons were high in the sky; it couldn't have been much past midnight. Neither dragon noticed this with such an event going on. After what seemed like forever, a white orb with orange spots rolled out onto the ground. Dragon eggs are always white, with spots that reveal the dracling's color. If an egg contains a white dracling, it will have no spots.

Glitter lifted her head. "What color is it..."

"Orange." Darkor replied. "We'll have a little flame-spitter." He knew this because orange dragons always possess the fire element. Some colors have more than one possible element. Glitter, for example, was an electric gold dragon. She could have been a fire dragon, because gold could be either fire or electric.

Later, there was a three egg clutch. Along with the orange, there was a black and a gold. Glitter hoped at least one of them would have its father's horns, Darkor looked quite majestic with those stag antlers. She also hoped the black would have the shadow element, and the gold would have electric.

She told Darkor that she wanted the black's name to be Eclipse and the gold's name to be Zappen or Sparka. But Darkor only rolled his eyes. "Those names have a chance of not fitting." He was telling the truth: the black could have poison and the gold could have fire. "Besides," he added, "I'll be happy as long as they each have four legs and two wings."

"Well, that's true." Glitter said. "But I still feel like naming them now."

Darkor smiled. "If you insist." He touched the orange's egg with his tail. "Topaz." Then he touched the black's egg. "Obsidian." Finally, he touched the gold's egg. "Pyrite."

Glitter crooned. "Those are perfect. I'm amazed."

"Now you need to go back to sleep." Darkor nuzzled his mate and curled up beside her.


PROLOGUE PART TWO

When the sun rose over the dragon village of Airspike, Glitter was still curled around her clutch. Darkor stood up and stretched, being careful not to wake her up. Glitter needed her rest, but Darkor had to wake up early because he was the village chief.

The morning routine of a dragon chief involved a quick patrol of the territory and bringing back some prey for the day's food pile. Darkor walked out of the cave, then launched himself into the air.

Everything was looking normal, mostly. He did spot some apes that appeared to be bandits on the edge of the Valley of Avalar, but they fled back into the woods when they saw him. He wasn't going to chase them down, because they hadn't done anything to him or his village. Plus going around attacking every bandit he saw would only make them target dragons. He didn't agree with their way of life, but it was best to leave them alone.

He flew toward the large waterfall to hunt. Prey creatures often stayed near water sources. There was nothing there at the moment, so he perched in a small alcove and waited.

Darkor tensed as he saw a female deer approach the bottom of the waterfall. When she lowered her head to drink, he sprang into action. The doe bleated and began to flee, with Darkor in hot pursuit, snapping and slashing with his claws. Since this was a predatory attack, he wasn't using his shadow breath. Dragon magic of all types tends to ruin meat. Fire burns it to an unedible crisp. Electricity and wind violently pull apart the muscle fibers, making it into slop. Ice freezes the fluids and the meat itself to the point where it's impossible to recover the flavor. Earth bruises it. All of the above elements are okay for hunting when used sparingly, but poison and shadow will penetrate the skin more easily than the rest, spoiling the meat.

This is a really good story. I like how you gave descriptions of the dragon eggs and how they relate to which element the newborn dragons might have. It's really interesting.

Thanks! If youre interested in which colors can have which elements:

Fire: orange, gold, red
Ice: blue, white, light blue
Electricity: yellow, silver, gold
Earth: green, brown, light green
Wind: gray, silver, green
Shadow: black, blue, gray
Poison: light green, black, green

That's really neat and makes perfect sense. It's good you're putting so much thought into your fanfic. Not many people do that these days.

Yeah, most of them are all "Spyro and Cynder's kid has to save the world" or something like that.

I found that it makes a fanfic less cliched if the writer focuses more on original characters with a few canon characters thrown in, instead of all canon.

More'll be added tomorrow-ish, thanks again!

Anytime. I also plan to break some cliches, but with an Avatar fanfic. I always enjoy a unique story.

Goos story! It's a relif to find something diffrent!

This is pretty good so far. Also, nice way with the colour meaning their element thingy. It was quite clever.

Awsome! PC!!!
