Two large beasts fought the other, one dawning scales so white they reflected the sun as the other dawn scales so black the light seemed to vanish within their depths. Each glared the other down, the white with sharp clear as a blue sky eyes as the black glared daggers with sights as dark as red blood. The two were in a dimension of darkness like a void yet they were seen in other dimensions as well, as was to be expected from inner-dimensional beings. People in their worlds watched the beasts in the air fight, the land trembled as they charged and attacked the other.488Please respect copyright.PENANA6UqTzDAlDa

The people cried out and took shelter as best they could from the devastation. The white tried to reason with the black, roaring out its concerns. The black roared back like a laugh before releasing a powerful flame from its open maw, turning around and in some dimensions, people were slain which allowed it to claim their rising souls into its jaws once the flames ended. Taking in the souls its body began to mend. The white growled and charged its own flames which were released at the black.488Please respect copyright.PENANA0X1dZiNegK

Unable to defend the black released a cry as its body began to fall from the air. The white looked at the tears and breaks in the dimensions as well as the destruction in each. It flew up, spun once and held its head up high. Its wings began to glow and a light began to first mend and once more separate the different dimensions. This mending went on, it did not see the black open its red eyes or see it cease its decent. Once the mends were done the white turned this healing to the lands in each dimension at once so they could try living in peace.488Please respect copyright.PENANAY4QOyc3d7A

The black took this chance and charged an attack with the majority of power it had in reserve. It released the flames, striking the white hard in the side. This broke the focus of the white, bringing it to cry out in pain. The spell shattered, finishing the major damages before all those left alive dropped into a state of deep sleep. That was all but two that the white dragon saw in one dimension as it fell from the air. They were young and held onto the other. A thought came to the beast since the black was nowhere to be seen nor felt. Battling the black alone in their true forms had caused harm to all dimensions so to be safe in case the black still lived, then the battle would be fought more in direct terms to better reduce the risk of all dimensions being affected again.488Please respect copyright.PENANAmVKULEHFX4

The white willed its body to vanish, appearing hidden away in darkness surrounded by stone. It closed its eyes and slowed its heart rate and breathing, almost suspending itself to preserve its life but alert enough to be aware of its surroundings while it let its wounds mend. It focused on that one dimension and sent out two glowing orbs which floated down to the two still left awake.488Please respect copyright.PENANAICVDr3HqNM

Seeing these orbs the two stood and one lifted their hands up and held the floating orb in awe. The shorter one questioned what they were as the taller one was not sure. Listening they looked to the other and nodded, both accepting the orbs into their bodies. As this took place with the white, a similar event took place with the black only this person had woken before the others and the greed drew the black orb.488Please respect copyright.PENANA4XBmWTExQe

Time passed by as it always does and the people grew to think what they saw was just a dream and not real. One or a few had written story books about the two dragons and none believed they were true except a few. If the few truly did believe was only known by them. Over time when a group would start to gather the black orb had jumped to a new host that held a stronger greed in their heart. The formation of the two sides was at the ready with one trying to maintain order and peace as the other sought domination.488Please respect copyright.PENANA9y5QAvMvgL

The white had withdrawn the two orbs when it had to and found two new hosts. They were at the group for order and peace. A type of training seemed to be happening with one losing as the other was coming back at an older person. Cries for it to stop reached the sound of the orbs that allowed the semi resting white to see and hear the scene. Both were strong but the white held off and observed for a short time. Eventually the white allowed the orbs to near the pair after a rough event.488Please respect copyright.PENANABHmYtihSqG

The taller boy looked at the two, listening and although was not sure he accepted one orb as the other entered the shorter boy. The shorter one was passed out and to try helping the taller tried to use healing on his friend. This new magic was great and came out like a wave of green. The shorter boy groaned after being struck as he was healed yet the taller boy seeing his friend holding his head concerned him. When the shorter boy would ask where he was the taller felt confusion and guilt. He didn’t want his friend to forget, just to heal up.488Please respect copyright.PENANAtMuGtl0SIg

Moving to his friend he tried to fix what he did but instead it malfunctioned, causing the shorter boy to pass out asleep. Without knowing exactly how to fix the two spell gone wrong with the magic boost, he picked up his friend and fled to the station. He boarded the transport and would get off at the shorter boy’s home, going inside when allowed by a parent and took his friend to his room to rest. Once in the room and his friend in bed the taller boy put a hand on the shorter boys sleeping head, whispering he wanted the next to work so his friend would have time to have better memories and not hate him for doing this to him.488Please respect copyright.PENANAtSiKPbh8Pp

The green magic appeared again as with guilt tugging inside the taller boy managed a spell to stay in place so to, he hoped, allow time to give mending to any wounds from what he did. The taller boy removed his hand with the magic fading and he left, telling the parents the shorter boy got into an accident so to not be worried if he would have forgotten anything, and to not push him with details that keeping some things simple would help best with any memory loss or lapses.488Please respect copyright.PENANAGOpzK13uqg

The parents agreed and the taller boy left, never returning to his friend but did visit time to time to watch and see how the shorter boy was doing. During the time that passed the taller boy started to study more and gain a tighter hold of his magic in hopes if their paths crossed again then he wouldn’t harm the boy again as he had. Tests came and the taller boy in slow aging rose in the ranks by passing tests it was thought he could not. A final fight for a top position came and after the battle he stood the victor, gaining himself the title and more reason for his custom built and designed train.488Please respect copyright.PENANAS2egWveanf

It did not take long before the taller boy figured out another use of his magic, seeing what was beyond the dimensional walls. This also he learned more about the one heading the other group founded, doing as he could in his power to bring their influences to an end to try and restore some light to where he went. The shorter boy had also grown and done well in his classes, excelling and one day when looking through the ads saw a help wanted ad for a job on a renowned train. Deciding to apply he did and when he got a call there was no time wasted until he arrived at the station.488Please respect copyright.PENANA1qiG8DD9o6

It was on this faithful day while inside his engine the taller boy would be taking care of minor maintenance before a sight outside the window caught his eye. His eyes widened when seeing the side of the shorter boy’s face. It was this this day that began the start to see if a second chance could exist for their friendship, and when the memories would be sorted if the shorter one could forgive or would fear the taller one.488Please respect copyright.PENANAMBaHqdSTEg
