Chapter 1 - The New Beginning
 
The Prophecy
 
Many years ago, in the realm of Dark Matter, the words of a prophecy spread forth. It was told that once every new millennium, a single dragon baby would grow up to be a heroic, bold saviour of the Dark Matter realm. It would fall during the reign of an evil Dragon King. The newborn hero would take on a quest to defeat the evil Dragon King, save the realm, but fail to save what matters most in the end...
 
The time has come for the prophecy to fulfill itself. It is the year 2000 in the realm of Dark Matter. The new millennium has begun. A baby dragon is on its way to a family that has yet to discover what their future holds...
 
A Saviour is Born
 
In the nest of a mother dragon, with the father near by her side, a single shimmering, golden egg was about to crack a tiny crevice in the mystical outer shell. As tension built up, so did the crack in the egg. After a minute that felt like an hour, the egg split in two, and thus, a hero was born.
 
"I hereby declare my son's name be Fable!" the father said with pride.
 
They had no idea that their baby dragon would grow up to save the Dark Matter realm from the clutches of the evil dragon they now bowed to, Thoran the Dragon King. He was a cruel dragon with a swirling black pattern on his black-as-deep-night skin.
 
When Fable was a newborn, another egg, a black one, cracked open. Out popped a baby dragon that was very cute. Unfortunately, the other baby dragon was taken and killed by the evil Dragon King Thoran.
 
Devastation
 
At the age of seven, Fable blew his first fire.
 
"Yay! Mom and Dad! Look! I did it!" Fable said proudly.
 
Sure it wasn't a blazing path of infernos, taking down everything in its path, but it was fire, and he was satisfied. At eight, he learned to fly through the skies and soar like a graceful young dragon. Then, devastation struck in his ninth year. His parents were at a ceremony honouring Thoran, the Dragon King, and they forgot to bow at his presence.
 
"You disgraceful runts!" the Dragon King said with frustration.
 
This act of disgrace was enough to be blasted by fire and unfortunately, die.
 
Fable's life seemed to have spun into a swirling back hole after his parent's death, resulting in total depression. He had to feed himself, clean himself, find a new home, and since he couldn't find one, he built one on top of a hill covered in beautiful Dragon Berry Bushes. Luckily... he made a new friend...
 
Chapter 2 - The Scar
 
A New Friend
 
On the morning of his third day in his wooden home, Fable was searching outside for berries to eat. It was hard work. There were only a few bushes left with berries on them so there wasn't really much of a variety. As Fable walked up to a bush, out popped a dragon just like him.
 
"Hi! My name is Silver!" he said.
 
Silver was a boy dragon, nine years old, he could fly and he could breathe fire! They became best friends and lived in the house on the hill. On their ninth day together they devised a plan to overthrow the Dragon King, Thoran.
 
"Let's teach that meaney a lesson!" Silver said. "Yea!" Fable agreed.
 
They kept their plans in a secret box behind the house. Years passed and the box filled up with ideas and plans. It was at age 16 that Fable got the scar...
 
The Evil Bush
 
It was a good harvest day for Fable and Silver, the bushes were ripe and appetizing, yet there was a cold chill in the air as if the Dragon King had been there...
 
They weren't that suspicious, after all, their plans were still in the box.
 
They came upon a bush and plucked off the berries, they came to another and did the same thing. On bush five there was something strange, it was a different color and the berries were not plentiful. Fable reached out to pick a berry when it happened.
 
*WHOMP!* the bush reached out and scarred Fable right next to his eye!
 
The bush had been enchanted with dark magic! It must've been the work of Thoran!
 
Healing
 
After Fable was scarred, Silver put a healing spell on him which Silver always carried just in case. The wound healed and sealed off, relieving the pain. Fable realized that Silver was a true friend.
 
"You're my best friend," Fable said.
 
They came up with even more plans to defeat the Dragon King Thoran as revenge for Fable's pain and suffering. The Dragon King would fall, Fable was sure of it. Chapter 3 - Fable's Revenge
 
The Quest
 
Fable and his bold friend Silver set out on a quest to take revenge on the devastating Dragon King. They embarked on their epic journey, and together they flew and soared through the night sky. They were going to the palace of the Dragon King. Past the sleeping guards they flew, seeking the drawbridge entrance. The palace was shimmering in the moonlight, casting a beautiful glow on all around it.
 
Now, to get inside...
 
Inside the Palace
 
Being inside the palace was like being in a dreadful cave of shadows, making everything around look frightening. Stalactites clung to the ceiling and molten lava surrounded the floor of the Throne. Sitting on the throne of fear was the Dragon King himself, Thoran.
 
He seemed to be waiting for Fable and Silver. The smug grin on his evil face was a sign of a villainous plot. He was anxious to engage in battle with Fable the dragon, he thought that he could destroy Fable, just as he had his parents.
 
Or so he thought...
 
Chapter 4 - The Secret is Revealed
 
Thoran nodded to Silver, Silver then moved to his side, like father and son. It was Silver who had enchanted the bush with dark magic!
 
"Together, we will rule the Dark Matter realm like father and son!" Thoran said evilly.
 
It has been revealed, like father, like son.
 
Fable was petrified, how could Silver have been his best friend? United they stood and they were about to attempt to kill Fable. What a friend he was! Fable's scar seemed to glow in the dim light... Could this scar be...a power source? Suddenly Fable gleamed as golden as sun rays and became a fully-grown Dragon Master.
 
Now THAT was a fair fight...
 
Chapter 5 - The Epic Battle
 
The Battle Begins
 
A full-fledged Dragon Fight was about to happen, it would be a fight against good and evil, light and darkness, fire and ice, a battle of epic proportions in the realm of Dark Matter, the dragons' domain.
 
"You will be destroyed just like you did to my brother and parents!" Fable said, his eyes filled with anger and pain.
 
Thoran made the first strike. It was a devastating blow of molten lava, fiery infernos and pure acid that shot out of his mouth as speedy as a flaming bullet. Fable's scar glowed stronger, it was his turn now. He unleashed a spectacular ray of light, partially blinding the Dragon King Thoran. With Thorans' eyes still recuperating from the light rays, Silver made the next attack. He put a spell on Fable causing Fable to grow weak. The first attacks of the battle were made and it raged on...
 
The Battle's Core
 
The battle raged on and Fable grew stronger. The enchanted bush's magic infected the scar making Fable uncover new power. Fable was all but winning, and then he unleashed the supernova.
 
A supernova is a dragon's most amazing power. One dragon gets the power every new millennium and can only use it once. As Fable unleashed his supernova, he blasted a ray of fire that radiated as much heat as the sun, it could melt iron.
 
When the flames reached Thoran, the battle was over! Fable had defeated the Dragon King!
 
The Battle's End
 
Dragon King Thoran was disintegrated into microscopic particles. The battle was over, the Dragon King was defeated. Silver and Fable remained enemies. Indeed the prophecy came true. Fable defeated the evil Dragon King, but failed to save what mattered most.
 
Friendship.
 
We leave off where Fable has defeated the evil Dragon King Thoran. The Dark Matter realm is safe! Or is it...
 

 
The end.
