Background-------------------------------------------
Your story begins on the world of Lusius. Centuries ago, the planet was ravaged by a war between the dwarves of Islinter and the Elven folk of Surkan. To stop the war, the first king of men proposed a pact be made between the three kingdoms, stating that the elven and dwarvern affairs be left in their own countries, and all trade happen in Dankirk, the human kingdom, so that nither side would have to fear ambushes. The pact was signed by all three sides, but the Dragon Riders of the Elves protested and kept up the war until their dying breathes. Since that time, not one dragon has been seen on Lusius.
One month after a meteor shower over the Furgon Plains to the north, both races have reported attacks on their home countries, and accused the other of the crime. The war began anew, fiercer than ever, and Dankirk is caught in the middle.

Shaien is working at his forge on a set of armor for the king. King Mitsune plans to ally with the Dwarves until he has found a way to stop this war, just as the first king did. And for this, he ordered a special set of armor, a Mithril cuirass with Golden pauldrons. He also ordered a special sword be made similarly. Shaien wonders why the king was taking a side since it would just anger the other, but he just kept on working the mithril. He had just finished as King Mitsunes's caravan pulled up to his shop.
"Hail, Shaien! What is the word on my armor?" The kings asks, getting down from his horse.
"Hail, Sire! It is finished, and the sword just needs to cool. May they serve you well," Shaien replies to his greeting. He hands the armor and sword over to the king, who examines them both.
"Fine work, shaien, fine work indeed. Ive always said, you are the best blacksmith in all of Dankirk. My only regret is that you are not joining us on our war," Mitsune looks at Shaien," are you sure you'd rather stay?"
"yes sire, very. I've seen too much bloodshed for one lifetime," Shaien replied, sitting down.
"well then, how much for this fine equipment?" the king asks, taking out his coin purse.
"they're free, my gifts to your victory," Shaien smiles.
"thank you, shaien. I gaurentee you that i will return the favor after the war is over,"mitsune replies, getting back on his horse,"ride to the south! to Islinter!" and the soldiers left. Shaien gets back to works at the forge.
"This is your mission, I have heard that the humans wish to ally with the dwarves, this we have to stop. We must make the dwarves seem untrustworthy and to do that we must stage a false attack on the king",says an Elven general,"I have gathered you, oh loyal Servans, because you are the only ones who would pass as dwarves because of your non-pointed ears. Be fore-warned: only all of you and I know of this mission so any elves that see you will give chase. I will use my magic to make you appear shorter and you will wear disguises. Shoot a few arrows at the king, but make sure to miss, then run off. Many of you may die, and your family will never know of your heroics, but you will have died for your country. For Surkan!"
"For Surkan!",yell the Servan soldiers and Ri Mi.
Ri Mi and the rest of the soldiers go to the disguise room and are enchanted and disguised as much as possible. They head out to where their spies say the king is headed and hide in the bushes.
Shaien finishes another sword as a large explosion goes off in the nearby woods. No one was supposed to be in there since everyone says it is cursed, and the king was headed south, not east. He picked up his sword, bow, and arrows and head off to see what happened.
It was a hard treck through the woods, underbrush enerywhere, low tree branches, and animals everywhere. He finally got to the center of the woods, and found a large hole, maybe 3 yards in diameter and down, with a small, egglike object in the center. As he began to descend to examine the object, he heard large wings flapping above hime and felt an incredible heat, but when he looked up, there was nothing. He continued down to the object, picked it up, and brought it home to examine it, all the while feeling like something was watching him.
Ri Mi and the soldiers wait vigilantly behind the bushes.
Ri Mi finally gets bored and says,"I am going on recon to see if anyone is following us." Ri Mi walks to a large hill and sees the sun's reflecion in a river near him he sees many beautiful things and gets distracted from his post.
As Shaien returns to his house, the egg starts to got hotter. He quickly puts it down on his table just before it starts to burn him and wonders what it is. A few seconds later, as he starts working on another sword, he hears something drop behind up. The egg, as he sumised it was, burned a hole through the table! but when he went to pick it up, it as very cold. He put it on another table and began to repair the hole made by the egg.
"what the heck could be inside that thing?" he asks himself as he finishs the table," I mean, the egg growin all hot like that, what kind of creature could survive that?"
His mind gives him an answer, but he dismisses it and begins back to work. the egg starts to glow faintly, almost unnoticable... The wing beats come back, by Shaien still can't find the source of the sound.
Ri Mi hears the firing of arrows and then the slashing of swords and turns around to see that some rich looking human had killed all of his fellow Servans. Doing the only thing he thought would save him Ri Mi runs into the woods and continues running.
Shaien examines the egg a little further. It has started to crack, maybe because of the fall from the table, and is a light green-whiteish color. The shell is able to be seen through, but very barely. All he can see inside of it is a black shape, moving every once and a while. He decides to keep it and see what comes out of it. He knows can hold his own against anything native to Dankirk, but the thought looms in his head: What if it is a...
He again shakes it off" nonsense... they don't exist anymore... and even if they did, i doubt an egg would lay around this carelessly!" He went into his backyard and began to practice with his bow and sword.
(lol, waiting for some1 to say that. Ya, i have, but only the intro is gonna be similar. i couldnt think of any other way to get a dragon to attack... Shaien doesnt become a dragon rider, atleast not that i have planned. )
The Wingbeats get continually louder as Shaien practices. He looks around every few minutes, but still sees nothing. He begins to wonder if he's going mad. He drops his bow on the table next to his arrows and begins to practice with his sword, listening as the beats get ever closer.
Ri Mi continues running through the woods, dodging branches and jumping bushes when he jumps a bush and lands in an elven deer trap.
(Good),thinks Ri Mi,(when the elves find me they will release me!)
Ri Mi looks at himself.
The elven magic had not yet worn off and he still looked like a dwarf.
(No! I must escape!),thinks Ri Mi as he fumbles for his broadsword. He grabs ahold of the handle but when he unsheithes the sword it seems to jump out of his hand.
"You are going mad!",says Ri Mi to himself.
"Past it I am afraid",says a strange multigenderal voice from the forest.
"W-who are you?",asks Ri Mi.
"I am the spirit of this forest. I cannot allow you to escape, not yet",says the spirit of the forest.
"Oh, great spirit of the forest! Have pity! I am not a dwarf, I am a Servan, a humble race that serves your elves with pride!",says Ri Mi.
"I know who you are, little one, and it pains me to say it, but the elves are no longer on my side. They want the death of the dwarven people so badly that they have lended me a deaf ear, but you believe and that is why you hear. You must turn your back on your country and fight for the good of all. I and all the other spirits of the forest have assembled an army for peace, with it we will stop all of this wretched war.",says the spirit of the forest.
"I must be mad. The spirit would never speak to me. I am but a Servan",says Ri Mi.
"Accept it, your country is not right in this war, but neither is any country, join us and fight a war agains all war!",says the spirit of the forest.
In his head the concepts of loyalty to his country and the concepts of heeding the will of the forest battled it out and when he realized that he would not survive if he chose loyalty to his country he decided.
"I shall join you, but only to stop the destruction of my country",says Ri Mi.
"That is good enough",says the spirit of the forest.
Ri Mi awakens and his sword is still in his shieth. He carefully pulls it out and strengthens his grip , expecting it to jump from his hands again, but it doesn't. He slices through the vine-ropes in the trap and jumps to the ground.
"Was it all just a dream?",asks Ri Mi.
Ri Mi sees vines growing in the shapes of arrows and immediatly knows where he must go. He is being sent to Dankirk.
Shaien went inside, sweating. The wing beats grew louder, and he wondered even more what was causing it. He looked over at the egg, and noticed it was different. It had hatched. Shaien began to look around his home frantically, and noticed a trail of liquid from the egg to the door, and he followed it outside.
Ri Mi ran following the arrows as fast as he could. Then he stopped when he found himself close the the edge of Dankirk. He sees a strange ooze trail in the distance, but instead of following the arrow made from clovers in front of him he hid behind a tree, feeling as if something would soon happen.
