      Eymr was walking through the elegantly decorated cavern when he saw a throne; he could barley see it for it was so far away. "Yes, go to the throne,” said Reysh from Eymr's head, Eymr began to run toward the throne. When he reached it there was an old dragon skeleton sitting there with a crown upon its head.
      "Who is that?" asked Eymr as he looked at the dead dragon.
      "That is the king of all dragons, he's not the most powerful and we're still trying to figure out how he made it to king. Then it's said that he was always a skeleton dragon so he has the ability to live forever and in a magic filled place like this he must be the most powerful" answered Reysh. Eymr nodded and began to look around the throne to see if he missed anything, he was looking behind when he felt a burning pain upon his back. He turned to see the king dragon looking at him with an outstretched claw with blood on the tips. Eymr quickly glowed black and changed into Reysh, Reysh launched from behind the throne to the front and faced the king dragon.
      "Well Reysh it's good to see you, I thought that you were dead" said the king dragon as he settled into the throne.
      "You were wrong like everyone else, as you can see I am very much alive" said Reysh as he went into a fighting stance.
      "Come, come Reysh there is no need for fighting here,” said the kind dragon.
       "You are not the king, I knew him and he loved to fight" said as he lunged at the king.
       "I don't know how you figured it out but you wont live for long,” said the king as he charged at Reysh, they met with crossed arms for defense.
      "I know that smell anywhere, you killed me and my mother. What are you doing with the king?" shouted Reysh as he shoved the king away and bit into the king's neck. The bite chomped the neck in half but the bones quickly grew back together and the king swung a claw that sent Reysh stumbling.
       "I'm now the king, and I will have your orb" said the king as he and Reysh began to fight. The moves that they did would have killed the opponent if not counter attacked, they fought till night and then till dawn nonstop. Reysh was trying quickly and he needed a rest or else the king would kill him, Reysh quickly leapt back and pulled out a scale and threw it to the ground and when the dust disappeared Reysh was gone. "Well Reysh, so now you're running from the battle that you cannot win. Well I will find you,” said the king as he began to search for Reysh.
      "You will never find me here" thought Reysh as he laid his head back on the wall, instead of hiding Reysh was in the spot that the king would never of looked. Reysh had shrunken himself and was now resting in the king skull, he sighed and closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep. When Reysh awoke he heard the sound of feet from above, he slipped out through the bottom of the skull and began to climb up into the crown. At the center he saw a person wearing a black cloak moving like the king."What do you think that you are doing?" shouted Reysh causing the cloaked figure to spin around.
       "You, how did you get here?" shouted the figure.
      "I asked you a question first,” said Reysh as he readied his spitfire breath.
       "I have no reason to answer you,” shouted the figure as he pulled out a sword from his side, he lunged at Reysh like a mad man.
       "Pathetic" said Reysh as he easily dodged the blow, he grabbed the sword from their arms and used his spitfire on it. The sword was quickly engulfed in the flames and soon was a hot liquid pile of metal, Reysh swung back his arm and grabbed the cloak and yanked. The person underneath wasn't a man but a woman and not a human one at that; she had a strong dragon tail with thin dragon wings.
     "Reysh, Moz gave me a picture of her and said to find her,” said Eymr from the farthest corner of Reysh's mind. The dragon girl quickly pulled the cloak back on and ran to the back of the skull.
      "Eymr, I think that you should talk to her" said Reysh as he glowed black and changed into Eymr.
       "You...dragon" stuttered the girl from under the cloak.
       "It's alright, the dragon's gone now" said Eymr as he slowly approached the girl.
       "I don't care, but you wont live to know why,” shouted the girl as she threw a white and blue orb at him, it hit Eymr in the chest and knocked him to the ground. It felt as if he was being beaten with a dragon-spiked club, the pain was becoming too much and as had as Eymr tried Reysh would not let him slip unconscious. Suddenly at the corner of Eymr's eyes a white spot shown through the black, he was now blind.
     "Do not fear Eymr, it will be all over soon" said Reysh, the dragon's voice was enough to calm Eymr down and think about what to do. Eymr now felt as if he was on fire but the spell was slowly killing him, Eymr tried to move but found that he couldn't. He tried to cry out but he found that he had gone mute and soon he was deaf. "Eymr, the spell has found me and is doing the same thing to me. The only way that one of us can get out of this is if one of us gives up our body,” said Reysh.
       "You can have mine,” said Eymr.
      "No, I would go mad without this dragon form. As you know you are the last Vip and you will be found and the only way for you to live is if you become a dragon. I will leave you my memories, me strength, my magic, my knowledge, my life and my body. But most importantly I leave you my identity" answered Reysh. Eymr felt the pain leave and also felt a change coming from within, he began to shift into Reysh without glowing black. "Good bye Eymr, I have a feeling that we will meet in another time,” said Reysh as his voice faded and left him feeling alone. He closed his eyes and slowly opened them, the pain was now gone but he felt different some how. He stood up shakily for he was never in control of Reysh's body before; he began to think and was quickly aware of what Reysh had left him.
       "I am Reysh,” roared Eymr, he knew that he had to avenge the dragon life but getting the dragon girl that did the spell. He looked around and saw her lying on the ground; he pushed her onto her back to see that she was dead. Her eyes stared up at him, he looked at her neck to see marks on it, and he placed his claw there to see that his claw fit the print. He stumbled backward in fear of killing the girl, fear was upon his face when the girl turned the color of sand and fell. "She was a golem, that means that she was never alive so I didn't kill her" thought Reysh as he stood up. He flew out of the skull through an eyehole, when he was out he grew. He stopped when he was Reysh's size, the skeleton king crumbled to the floor sending up a pile of dust. He walked out of the cave and launched into the air, he had no idea on what to do so he landed in a nearby forest and began to think. He looked through the dragon's memories and found an answer to his question; he must go to the shadow dragon empire. He leapt into the air and began to fly north like the dragon once did. The three days past quickly and Reysh was landing on the iceberg that led to the empire, he entered and did the exact same thing the dragon did and soon he was at the statues. "Oh Shadow Dragon Empire, I am in need of answers” said Reysh to the statues, shadows slipped from the walls and covered the statues giving them life.
       "How is it possible, you are supposed to be dead" said the former orb dragon of power.
       "Well, the real Reysh is dead. He just left me his body and all of his life,” answered Reysh, the orb dragon nod in approval.
      "We were wondering why you were here and your statue had come,” said the orb dragon of fire.
      "What do you mean?" asked Reysh.
        "I will show you,” said the former orb dragon of power as she turned and began to walk to a sheet of ice. She nodded and Reysh walked through it, behind the ice was another cavern. At the center was a life size statue of Reysh, he walked up to it and heard the old Reysh.
         "Well Eymr, I'm glad that you found my statue. This cavern is only built for dragons that have proven themselves worthy, and then if you die you will be here. But your time will not come for a very long time for you are the last live orb dragon" said the old Reysh.
       "But what do I do?" asked new Reysh.
     "You must now do quest for the empire so that evil may not come" said the old Reysh. Reysh nodded and left the cavern to see the former orb dragon at her spot with the others.
       "Reysh, your first quest is to go out and find dragons that are in need of help and help them,” said the orb dragon of water. Reysh nodded and left cavern, he was soon out of the iceberg when he heard a cry for help. He knew that this was going to be the start of something; he launched into the air and began to fly toward the cry. He was flying when he saw splashing in the water, he dove and scooped something out. He looked at the creature in his arms to see that it had stars on it; it gave at little cough before it looked up at him.
       "Hi my name is Arbu and I'm an Oo. I don't really remember how I got in the water but thanks for saving me,” said Arbu.
       "You don't need to thank me, I was passing by looking for a cry but I guess it was you,” said Reysh.
      "Yep, we Oo can be very loud when we need to" replied Arbu as it climbed up his arms and onto his back.

       "What do you think you're doing?" asked Reysh.
        "I don't want to tire your arms out, so I'll rest up here,” replied Arbu as it lay down on his back.
        "Since I can't leave you here, I'm Reysh" said the black dragon.

   "Wow, before I left my home my mother said that I would meet a dragon that's name started with a "R" said Arbu.
     "Well she must have heard of me, I guess you can help me with my quest. My quest is for me to go around and help others till I am called,” said Reysh.
       "What do you mean by called?" asked Arbu.
      "It's a long story but it might be a while,” said Reysh as he began to tell the Oo his tale about how he became a black dragon.
