Chapter 1
A Rough Awakening
All that appeared was an odd void of multi-colored gases all around. There was simply nothing else to be seen. It seemed to stretch on for an eternity. Who knew when, or if, it would come to an end.
Suddenly, three small white lights came into view and began to circle overhead. It seemed as if they were alive and wanted to say something. But the only sounds they made were very faint squeaks as if they were little mice. These sounds were very hard to understand…but they were surely trying to say something.
"What are they?"
All the lights did were continue to circle overhead. Then one of them transformed into a bright yellow color. The next one became dark violet. Finally, the remaining light turned bright red. But they didn't stop circling above.
"Are you trying to tell me something?"
The lights all let out a loud shriek before their glow dimmed and all three flew away. They faded in the distance and didn't come back.
"Wait, no! Please come back! I just want to know!"
All these thoughts started rushing to mind: What were those lights? Why were they circling overhead like that? Were they trying to say something? Was it something important? Were they in danger? Why did they-
"WAKE UP LUCKY!"
I instantly jolted awake the second I heard that…only to find out that there was no danger. It was only my older twin brothers, Shadow and Blaze. They would often wake me up in alarm like this, even though there was nothing wrong, and I truly hated it. I especially didn't like it when they did this while I was dreaming.
I rubbed my eyes with my wings sleepily, remembering that strange dream I had. I was still wondering what those lights were and why they suddenly fled when I tried to talk to them. Were they in danger and trying to tell me that? Did they think I would hurt them?
Anyway, I was truly fed up with what my brothers had done to me. The two of them were laughing about their trick, but I wasn't putting up with it.
"Hey, what's the big idea?!" I snapped at them.
The two immediately stopped laughing and looked at me seriously as if I had angered them. I began to wish I could take back what I said.
"You sleep way too much, that's what." Blaze said to me.
"I do not!" I spoke back to him. "I'm just tired!"
"So tired that you'd fall asleep at midday, huh?" Shadow tried to make fun of me.
Well, to tell the truth, I did tend to sleep for most of the day, much longer than anyone else in my family. But I couldn't see anything wrong with that.
"Look you two; please stop doing this to me! I really don't like it! I mean it!" I told them seriously.
"What can you do about it?" Shadow and Blaze said at once. One thing was for sure about these two; although they didn't look anywhere near identical, they thought and acted the exact same way. There was no doubt about that.
"Quit it boys!"
I looked to my side and saw a blue-grey Doomer with white patches and yellow eyes fly into our den and rushed to my aid. This Doomer is my sister, Silver. Out of my four siblings, she was the oldest and the only daughter. She also seemed to be the smartest one in the family (maybe other than me).
"I think that I can go talk to Flash for just a minute, and then you two have to interrupt us all!" she snapped at my brothers.
"What's the deal? We're just playing with Lucky." Shadow said, clearly trying to play dumb.
"You call that playing? You're going too rough on him!" She told them. She gently cradled me in comfort with gentle wings, softly telling me that I would be alright.
"You two should know better." She went on. But the twins didn't seem to listen to her.
"Why should we? He's the one who's different from us!" Blaze spoke back to Silver.
"He's your own brother!" Silver yelled at him. "Treat him like it, alright?!"
Feeling intimidated by her, I tried to hide behind Silver, not wanting to be caught up in the fight any further. My eyes grew teary as the fighting went on.
"Oh really? Then what's with that star on his wing? We don't have that!" Shadow argued.
"That doesn't matter! He's still your brother! He doesn't do this to you, so you shouldn't do this to him either!" Silver tried to finish, but I could tell that it wouldn't work.
"What's going on everyone?"
All four of us looked up and saw a very large, familiar orange and yellow Doomer with magenta eyes hovering above our rocky nest. She seemed rather upset for a reason my brothers probably couldn't understand.
"Oh, um…hello Mother. We were just…" Shadow started nervously, never finishing the sentence.
"…Bothering Lucky again!" Silver butted in, still angry about it.
Our mother looked over at me and must have seen my face covered in tears. Shadow and Blaze quivered.
"Shadow, Blaze, what did we say about bothering Lucky?" she asked them, sounding surprisingly calm.
Neither of the twins said anything. While they were silent, my mother squeezed me into a tight hug, making me feel better. "It's alright, son. You'll be okay." she whispered. But she seemed cross about what my brothers had done.
"Why did you do this to him?"
"Well why does he have that star on his wing?" Blaze tried to throw her off topic.
"Never mind that; you two are old enough to know how to treat others. He's only little; you have to go easy on him, alright?"
"Yes, Mother." The twins sighed. But they had a look in their eyes like they were up to no good.
But what Blaze said earlier reminded me; for some odd reason I had this mysterious blue star-shaped marking on the back of my left wing. My mother called it my "Lucky Patch" and told me that I hatched with it. Neither of us knew why I had it or what it meant, but Mother called it special. I still wanted to know why I had it though, and kept telling myself that I would find out one day.
Mother let go of me, and then I could see Flash coming out of his little hiding place. Flash is my oldest and Silver's twin brother, and also the most fearful in the family. Shadow and Blaze would always try to scare him, so he would always try to hide. The only time he would really come out was when Mother was here. Perhaps he felt safer around her. But for some reason, he would never talk to me as if he were mad at me. In fact, I can't even remember ever hearing him speak at all, not even to Silver. It made me wonder if he even could speak. But whatever the reason was why he wouldn't talk to me, I was sure I would never know. My best guess is that he was afraid of me, possibly because of my Lucky Patch.
Mother gave each of us a bit of plasma that she managed to gather before telling us that we would be heading down to a nearby lake. Silver seem thrilled when she heard this, but Flash looked as if he wanted to stay here. Mother made him come with us though, and we all headed to the lake as a family.
Little did I know that my life was about to change forever.
A/N: So, if you are unaware, this story is a prequel to my currently ongoing story A Dragon by Dawn, but through Lucky's point of view. Some events from both stories will overlap towards the end, so it might be a good idea to read both (only if you want). Anyway, feel free to tell me what you think so far!
