Last Stand Chapter 1

Chapter 1
A Chilled Journey

The sun beamed it's rays down onto the earth, there where only a few clouds in the sky, a cool breeze also swept the land making sure it was just the right temperature. Chill was sitting under the oak tree, it had only been a few years since the Meckleodons had helped them escape, since then they had stayed I this field, made a cave their home and lived like nothing was wrong. Chill watched as Calink, as a human, was playing around with Razet and Violet. She never played with him, only because of his breathing problems. Chill sighed looking at the grass swish in the breeze. He stood up and walked away knowing no one would notice, he made his way into the jungle not caring about the heat. Once he reached a certain tree he jumped up and started clawing his way up, digging his claws into the bark he made his way up. Chill jumped off of the tree and onto a platform made of branches and vines. There was an orange dragon sitting on the platform, he was about four times bigger then Chill. Chill padded over to him and sat next to him looking down at the clearing.
“Hey there Star Gazer,” Chill said dryly.
“Hey there little bud, hows it going?” Star Gazer looked down at Chill, Chill just looked at the ground below.
“Same, meh, I guess it could be worse. Anyway what's the news?” Chill looked over at Star Gazer, Chill's blue eyes stared at Star Gazer curiously.
“Well... er... I've got word that your mom is-” Star Gazer got cut off.
“She's coming home! That means she killed off the evil! Yay!” Chill jumped up and started bouncing around the platform.
“Chill! That's not it at all,” Star Gazer's tone started to turn sad, something that rarely happened. Chill stopped bouncing and looked at him.
“What is it then?” Chill asked curious yet a bit angry.
“Chill your mom is dead,” Star Gazer said sadly looking back at the ground. Chill's ears drooped, as the anger turned to horror. He shook his head not believing it.
“Mom can't be dead! S-she... we've never met her!” Chill stepped towards Star Gazer his heart racing.
“But it's true, everyone believes it, and the news I get is not false, she's dead,” Star Gazer's tone returned to normal as he stood up and faced Chill. Chill dug his claws into the branches and vines he stood on.
“It's not true! I-I'm going to find her! My mom is not dead!” Chill wanted to start crying but forced himself not to, he knew his mom was out there somewhere.
“Whoa little bud, the world is dangerous, you can't just go out there and try to find your mom! You'd die!” Star Gazer seemed to be surprised by how Chill was taking the death of his mother. Chill was only six, still young but growing stronger. Chill took another step forward.
“I'm going to find my mom, no matter what,” Chill said deterined. Star Gazer sighed before replying.
“Then fight me, if you can defeat me I'll let you go.” Chill's ears flopped back as his eyes widened, Star Gazer was at lease four times his size maybe even larger! Chill tenesed though, he had to find his mother no matter what. He charged at Star Gazer, Star Gazer raised his arm to block Chill though Chill leaped up and sunk his fangs into the arm. Chill closed his eyes feeling a somewhat cold sensation before he heard Star Gazer screaming. “Get off!” Chill unlocked his jaws and jumped off, he reopened his eyes and froze seeing Star Gazer's arm.
The arm was covered in what seemed to be ice, Star Gazer was holding his arm painfully. Chill ran up to him wondering if he had done that. Once the ice melted Star Gazer looked at Chill interested in him now. Chill just stood there, amazed and yet scared of what he did to Star Gazer's arm.
“I'm sorry,” Chill apologized shuffling his feet a little.
“It's alright, but I need to check something.” Star Gazer grabbed Chill's arm with his huge hand, then he used a claw from his other hand to make a tiny cut. Chill just watched as his blood oozed out, only it wasn't what he expected, the blood was blue. “Strange, all dragons have red blood... but you have blue blood.”
“Is that bad?” Chill asked watching the blue blood ooze out more.
“Er no, at least I think not. But you're also wingless, which means...” Star Gazer gasped before a huge smile on his face appeared. “You're the... er... what-ya-ma-call-it... you're the one who is supposed to rid the world of darkness!”
“Me?” he asked unsure. He was only six, kinda young for all of this.
“Yes, now go on, you need to go on this journey!” Chill looked at Star Gazer, then back at his arm before racing to a tree. He jumped towards the tree and slid down, once he was down he started padding away from his home, they wouldn't notice him. He was going to find his mother, even if it meant a long journey ahead.
