Hi, welcome to my story.

Chapter one

The dragon flew through the night, franticly scanning the ground below. 'What can I do!? I must find help!'

The river spirit had returned to his home to find it drained and filled with rocks, terrified he had tried to dig out his beloved river with his claws, but found only a muddy trickle.

He felt his world dying all around him and had panicked.

Now, flying over the Japanese countryside, he saw a gate to the other world. A tunnel. Would help be on the other side of it?

He did not stop to think and dived towards it, he plunged through the mouth, his long body scraping at the rough walls, he felt some of his scales being ripped away from his body and growled in pain. He burst though the exit, soaring above a great still lake.

Looking around, the young dragon saw lights ahead and flew towards it. A small town lay at the edge of the dark waters.

He set out for the largest building, seeing no-one in the little settlement, but he felt his energy draining and he crashed into the ornamental gardens infront of the building and lay still, letting the darkness take him…

Well, what do you think ? Should I write more? Please comment, this is my first ever fanfic. Comment on anything, my spelling or grammar, how you hated it, suggestions, flames, just say that you read it, or maybe you even liked it? (looks hopeful)

Even if you don't comment, I'm honoured that you decided to read it, anyway.
