Chapter 4: An odd dream
Gilinkas was dreaming of a rocky area. He was all the way at the bottom and he seemed to want to reach the top. He looked up and the road seemed endless. He tried to use he wings, but they felt as if someone laid iron on them. He walked up a little and suddenly felt rather tired. He grunted then yelled for help. There was no one around, but he heard a faint cry afar. He tried to climb faster, and eventually, he arrived and found the one who called him. The vision was blurry, but he could see that it was a white dragoness on top of another mountain within the clouds. He saw that her legs had golden bracelets. He couldn’t see her face very well, nor could he see her eyes. “Who are you?” asked Gilinkas. He saw her extend her hollow wings and heard her whisper “Desum.” After that, her named echoed silently and the clouds part to reveal her. She looks somewhat old, her whole body shone in the moonlight and he eyes were green. She had a long, lion tail and furry back. She had horns like a ram, and her head was crowned with stars. In her paws she has a stone tablet and it seemed to have writing on it that Gilinkas couldn’t figure out. “Desum, huh? Weird name…” Gilinkas mocked. She didn’t really care about his remark; she instead stood up and pointed below them.
What he saw was darkness and heard roars filled with hatred. His heart jumped at this. “What the heck? Who on Earth is that?” he asked. “Not on Earth, down below” she said, “and that will be you.” Gilinkas looked up at her quickly as if he heard an explosion. “Me? How can that be me? I am not going ‘down below’! I have done nothing wrong! I-” he was silenced by her slow, echoing hiss then she blew white smoke to the vision. It swirled and revealed a much horrifying image. On a rock there was a very large dragon, glaring down at a large army of furry creatures. Gilinkas knew that was him at the start, with the same number of horns and the color of the scale (which seems to be much darker). But he still wouldn’t accept it. The dragon he sees looks like a lifeless soul, like all of the emotions are erased from him, and evil seemed to take over. “That’s not me!” Gilinkas shouted, and with that, he tried to flame the image although he was fearful if the dragon would somehow pounce out of the flames and attack him. The image disappeared, and a new one came. A small, terrified black dragon was shown. She had chains all over her and was presented as a slave. Gilinkas wanted to see more about her but it was quickly erased.
“No more” said Desum sternly. “But, are all those real, Desum? Is that what is really going to happen to me?” he asked and Desum answered with a nod. “Is…is there any way I could change it? Before it’s too late?” She shook her head and gave him the stone tablet “it is already written, look.” Gilinkas didn’t bother to read the ancient language or even spared a glance at the stone “oh come on! I don’t need some stone to tell me about my life. I will not be anything like that image!” Desum’s bland expression changed to an annoyed one. “You will” she growled “it is fate.” “No, it’s not” he said rather darkly “they are lies…” Desum suddenly snarled then roared “IT IS FATE, MAL…”
Gilinkas felt very cold and woke up. His heart was pounding heavily. He pondered for a while.
What was she going to say? He thought
oh well, it was a dream anyways… He stood up and looked for Lorkrane. But he was no where to be found. “L-Lorkrane? Where are you?” he shouted. There was no answer. Gilinkas flew up to see if he was in the skies and he saw him far away. He bolted towards him and cried out his name. Lorkrane looked back, and then cursed under his breath. “Lorkrane! Where are you going?” Gilinkas asked while trying to catch up. “I’m going to resume my task. You’re going somewhere else” he snapped “now be gone.” Lorkrane tried to fly in another direction but Gilinkas followed him like a seagull. “Wait, Lorkrane! I need you! I don’t know what to do out here.” Lorkrane laughed “you’re a big dragon! You know where to go!” Gilinkas tried to get his attention, “wait! Um, I got a question! Do you know anything about white dragons?” he asked. “White dragons? Of course! They are far less persistent than purple ones! Now leave!” Lorkrane shouted back. “No! Like a female one! Desum!” Lorkrane lifted his head then whispered “Desum?” he looked back at Gilinkas. “Land here” he shouted.
When they landed, Lorkrane looked around then asked, “How did you know about her? Did those guardians tell you?” Gilinkas shook his head “No. I saw her, in a dream today. She kept talking about my fate or whatever. I never heard of her before.” “Desum has been dead since at least century. She is only seen and heard in tales now.” Lorkrane slightly tilted his head “can you see the dead?” Gilinkas gulped “I hope not. But anyways, she showed me very eerie images about my life and she tried to hide a picture of a scared black dragoness. What does this mean?” Lorkrane’s eyes twinkled with pleasure, “it means you are indeed one special dragon”

No, I haven't forgotten this story, mwhahaha! >=D
Sorry for the late chapter, Prince of Persia: The Two Throne is kinda mean D=>
While writing this, I started liking Desum. In fact!
Here is a picture of what she kind of looks like, just add some ram horns! Please note that I did not draw this. This was made with KCoyote's "Create a Dragon".
Enjoy the wall of text! <3
EDIT: Forgot to mention, Desum means "Absence" in Latin. Not very good, but I kind of like it.
