The day I found this egg was the day my life changed. For better or for worst is still undeterminable even now, but its definently a day i would never forget. Though it started off with a dream a very strange one at that. In this supposed dream or possible even a nightmare i was walking on a black trail that seemed to have no end, and looking around all that was seen was black and purple swirls. I countinued on though as there was a yellow and orange glowing dot in the distance that i wanted to reach.As i came closer i say what the mysterious glow was a small egg shape object surrounded by strange gem like stones and On a white pedestal made of bones.

I stared in amazement and reached out to it touching its smooth surface but gasped as images and feelings past swifly through my mind and body, cave paintings of Drakes, humans riding these creatures to fight predators, a feeling of loyalty and belonging running through the drake. Then I woke to the real world in a cold sweat, my heart was pounding, my breathing uneven.What I didn't know was that I was soon to find out.Today i had a feild trip to help clean up this lake for school, which I wasn't all excited about it but hey it was better then doing work. Once at the lake everyone was handed a bag and told to simply go clean up any trash that we found. I headed out away from the others picking up any trash that i saw.

I got the the edge of the lake and saw this yellow glass like stone next to the water, the little waves of the lake threatened to take it along with them at any second. Picking it up revealed the egg from my dream, I backed away dumfounded that the egg actually existed and wasn't my imagination's crazy idea. Carefully picking it up the orange and yellow glow around it seemed to react while i was holding it, glow flickered almost happily making me chuckle."Hey" i spoke to it "I'll think i'll keep up and find out what you are" i told it, the egg glowed warmly making me smile. As I started to walk back to the others "I think i'll call you Leonidas how's that sound?" i asked and the egg's glow flickered happily again comfirming that the name sounded good.


And that was how i met Leonidas, learning about what the egg from a caretaker named Thorn. I still can't believe i can make a difference about showing others the past friendship we all had with drakes. Though first I need to become better friends with Leonidas. He's still has some hate toward modern day humans. But i'll get to him someday and then the bound between the draked and humans can be rekindled again

I brushed away dust from the ebony streak in the ground and I smiled, fossils. I scraped away more of the hard ground with my tools and brushed it away. I was out on an expidition to help dig up a strange set of fossils found and I had just uncovered a tail bone but it didn't seem like a new species yet but then again I had only uncovered the tail and as I scooted along the tail and swept away the sand again to be rewarded with another bone. I continued along until I lost track of the bones, that were possibly becoming the spine, and I sat in the burning sun very confused. I took a break and stood under the shade of a canopy put up and looked at what I had uncovered and thought about the missing bones. I studied them and saw that the middle part of the tail had been deeper than the tip and then I realised that the rest of the skeleton was farther down. Grabbing my tools quickly I hurried over to uncover more.

.: :. .: :. .: :. .: :. .: :.

After carefully scraping and brushing away the earth around the fossil I stood at the top and looked down at the strange creature below. It seemed to be some sort of winged creature and it had sharp teeth but the way it was possitioned confused me, it almost looked like it had been trying to get away, it's wings sligthtly behind its body and it's back legs sort of looked like that also. I climbed down and then looked down to where it's head was pointed and I thought that maybe it had a den or something farther down. So I spent the next few hours digging out what I thought was a den and found more of the strange creatures fossils, one was faceing the entrance and even deeper I found the tail tip of another but the den had gotten too narrow for me to dig much farther. But even so I dug at the wall that still lead down only to find that stones where blocking it and I thought, maybe there's something really special or important behind them, someone called me to take a break but I ignored them. As I pried away stones I felt some sort of force urging me to continue, and then I pulled away a stone and finally was able to glimpse what was in the next chamber, and I froze in surprise.

.: :. .: :. .: :. .: :. .: :.

Inside the small chamber was an egg and I removed more of the stones to carfully take it out and as soon as I got it out and my flash light on the get a better look at it I stared at it in wonder. It had a very unusual marking on its shell and seemed to glow from an acient power of some kind and I couldn't help but feel draw to the egg. There can't be any possilbe way that it's still alive inside, I thought yet when I held it without moving at all, I swear I could feel a tiny heart beat. I tried to piece together the strange fossils and the wall in front of the egg's chamber but no animal I knew did this, but maybe, I thought and sacured the egg safely in my backpack I had brought down with me and climbed back out. After setting the egg in a make shift nest I had made in a hat and I looked around for a book and laid it on the table to look through the pages, there, I thought and read more.

.: :. .: :. .: :. .: :. .: :.

The book I had tore up my station for was a book all about rune dragons, the newest edition, and flipping to the back of the book I read about the newly discovered species: Rune Drakes. I knew that this had to a rune drake but I was very skeptical about the egg being alive after being trapped down in the earth for who knows how long but I just wanted to see if I could hatch what every was inside. Besides, it felt like the egg wanted me and it was drawn to me, and I doupted that anyone else would feel what I felt towards the little rune. That night while I in my tent laying in my sleepingbag, lit by my lanturn, I craddled the egg and spoke softly to it and inside my head, though I thought I was crazy, I think I heard the rune drake saying 'thank you for finally finding me'.

Kat pulled up her hood to keep her face shadowed and hidden from view, the quiet town she had just entered was a part of the more ancient side of Eldemore, and was to be the unfortunate target of a "freak attack" later today. Honestly Kat couldn't fathom why someone was so bent on having this place destroyed, but so long as she an Falanon were paid accordingly....well, business was business. Intent on subtly scouting out the land she started to meander aimlessly through the town, periodically disappearing into shops as though she was only an interested tourist.

Later if you were to ask Kat what it was that directed her to that store, she wouldn't have been able to tell you, but suddenly as she was walking down a side path that seemed little used, the oddest inclination came over her. Pausing in faint confusion, she found herself turning towards a small and run down shop. It felt as though...as though something was calling to her at the edges of her senses, a most peculiar and disconcerting experience. Yet still feeling the insistent tug of the odd summoning she walked unsteadily to the old building and stepped in.

The room smelled musty and old, yet it was clearly well maintained, with odds and ends painstakingly displayed throughout the building. No proprietor came to greet her, which suited Kat just fine, she was still following and obeying the odd compulsion that had taken hold. So it was that Kat presently found herself standing in front of a gently pulsing orange stone that seemed to have a soothing and almost nostalgic air to it. Thoughtlessly she pressed her hand against the outside of it, and snatched her hand back in surprise when she found the surface to be warm. Curious she leaned closer to it, the soft orange light illuminating her face briefly, and felt a sudden warmth and friendliness fill her soul. Shocked she tilted her head to study the stone, if she didn't know better...she'd say this thing was...communicating with her!

What happened next was pure instinct, she heard footsteps coming her way from somewhere to her left, and knowing that she couldn't abandon the odd stone here she snatched it and ran, her petite legs carrying her swiftly through the door. The shouts of "Stop! Thief!" Rang dully in her ears but she paid them no mind, not stopping until she found the place where Falanon was waiting. Panting she flopped down and placed the stone in front of her while leaving her hand on it, having only a momentary respite until her eyes shot wide open again in shock. If she hadn't known any better....she would have sworn that the stone had just begun to crack.

Silence. Not the tranquil, peaceful silence, but the horrible, loud, buzzing silence your ears create as they try desperately to hear something, anything. My unfocused gaze slowly sharpened until I could see where I was: the bottom of some dark, earthen shaft. The bright light shining down from the entrance to the chasm was obscured by several dark figures, and as my eyes finally focused enough to make out the sneers on the figures' faces my body suddenly came to its senses. Sound burst into my ears as if I had just surfaced from water, and the people's shouts and jeers became clear: "Where's your rune now? Ha!" But that information was pushed to the side to make room for the all-consuming agony that now engulfed me.

I uttered a moan of pain as I realized what had happened. The boys had been mocking me for wanting to be a rune bearer; they had said that runes were pathetic, that people had no need for them. They had made me so incensed that I had stormed off into the forest, but that hadn't stopped them from following me. As their taunting and raucous laughter increased, I became so angry and so blinded by my hatred of them that I didn't notice the pit until I had already fallen into it. Now as I stared up, my body screaming as wave after wave of fresh agony rolled over me, I watched as my tormentors slowly left. I couldn't move, couldn't say anything as I watched them go; the lighting bolts that shot through my nerves and my jaw clenched tight with pain wouldn't let me.

Time passed and slowly the pain numbed until I was left with a dull throbbing in my back. I got shakily to my feet, my breath sharp gasps that pained my chest. As I gazed up at the shaft's out-of-reach entrance fifteen feet above me, my hatred came back to me, clouding my vision once again. They had left me, shouted and taunted at me when I could have been seriously injured, and then just left me in here with no idea of how to get out. My anger fueled my movements as I started down the only exit left to me: a long light-less passage connected to the shaft.

An hour passed, but the pitch black tunnel continued on and as the hope of finding my way out through the tenebrous place left me, so did my rage; there was no point in hating them now, and after all, it had been that very same hatred that had landed me there in the first place. As I stopped and contemplated going back to the shaft to yell for help, I realized that the boys had just been ignorant: they didn't know that I grown up being taught that bonding with dragons was an incredibly special and important event in life, and there was no way they really would have just left me here in this tunnel without telling anyone what happened. As I turned around to go back, something caught my eye: a soft amber glow coming from the depths of the tunnel. Surprised and hopeful for an exit I hurried towards the light and arrived in a small chamber covered in faded hand prints and what looked like wing-prints, the glow emanating from some odd object embedded in the wall. I wandered over to it in a daze and ran my fingers around the dirt encased entity, when it suddenly dislodged itself from the wall and landed in my outstretched hands. As I cradled the bizarre spherical item in my arms and began making my way back to the entrance, I felt peace wash over me: yes, hatred was not the answer.

The hot sun burned onto my face as I stared down at the large bed of rock we been trying to go at for days now. Moaning, sweat, even for a girl was natural it seemed now. It seemed like so much we have been trying to do for a hidden prize one person suggested at the bottom of the dig, but seriously now I was staring to doubt myself. Though, I was quite glad for the last few days he had till we would all have to return to beds and not tents with bugs in the hot Arizona lands. With another hard shoe kick into my shovel I pushed out another large load of sand before staring up at the cloudless burning sky.
[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]

It was hours before I got to leave from my work, with yet again nothing but dirt that we found in the large bed of rock. I was happy when I got my break though but even that was short lived when a loud whistle sounded outside my tent that got me up from my make-shift bed to head out into the sun yet again. Though, the next few moments there changed me and my life forever. When I arrived out there, it seemed like all was normal on the rock bed. People dug, moaned, and the sun burned, but just as I touched my shovel and pludged it deep into the earth's crust a loud crack sounded below me to take me into the unknown blackness.
[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]

When I awoke next it seemed like the blackness of night was crawling at my skin where I layed rested in the dirt. People from above called to me in shouts asking if I was okay, but I didn't respond to them, because something more alluring drew me from their voices to a different one calling to me. I never was a fan of those movies where you followed the creepy voice that beckoned you, but I guess I forgot that since I did. As I walked, I took notice of what was below the rock bed and what I seen was cave drawings, stories, animals of what seemed to be dragons inside them, but when a small bit of a glow came onto my face I drew my head away to look at the source. An egg about the size of my hand rested against the cave wall, to which a light glow casted itself around the egg's shell. As I knelt down to touch it with my hard fingers from the work, I got a sudden surge into my mind which then moved me to another unthinkable place. It was not above, but inside the dragon's mind.
[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]:[]

This time when I opened my eyes something like a brighter sun entered my vision, birds, and plants stood around me in a softly faded way as if covered by fog. "So, you entered with your mind I see, I thought future people would go crazy at that trick," the voice echoed around me as if in the wind before the voice chuckled lightly. "Who are you?" I asked out with my voice curious, and yes, slightly afraid. "I am the Rune of the Past, where runes and human stood side by side to face the world and yet now I found you," he said with slight pain as if I was not worthy of that. "What so bad about that?" I asked madly at the hidden rune. "You humans don't have a bond with your runes, so I think your not worthy to even be here, yet you are strangly," he told me, but I seemed to differ. "I already have a rune, and he has formed a bond with me already, and I think I can prove to you the humans then and now are so different. We are the same, and I think I can show you," I told the rune. "Well then, what is it you will call me to start with this task?" he asked curious with almost the feeling of a grin inside my mind. "Future," I said with determination, and then my world yet again went black.
