Drakon Sssharxx

Meh who says I'm writing it in context to the rebellian from the games? Who says the shapers didn't win and covered it up and carried on, rebuilt and such?

Aww poor you, a few days without an update. The next three days I don't even have a computer.

Err I'm going to be away for a few days again so I may not post the next chapter untill late sunday or early monday again. Although saying that I may be able to post chapters later on and such it all depends on where I am.

I think the picture looks pretty cool though, and what is to stop a shaper who learns to understand the base language (with the 4 letters) from changing someone so precicely that they add the missing cromosones and such to give somebody the body of a drakon? I can't seem to find something that states that it could not happen.

The ending if you join the barzite faction says something about shapeing themselfs so much that they eventually shape themslefs into lighting or something.

Rofl i'm pretty sure it could happen but i cba going into the science of it.

they still lived and such and if a drayk became a drakon then I reckon its possible.

I dont think its impossible, if the barzites changed themselves into lighting bolts and such I think shapeing your body into a new species is easily done.

I'm in two minds of whether Saraph tries to shape himself into a drakon but then again it would rather spoil book three hehe.

Hmm meh I suppose I can add sumething about shapers learning a way to channel essence into their magic to make it more potent or something. Also, this guardian named Velerak, do you want it to be male or female?

Book two, Chapter 2 – Journey Saraph looks over the empty canister and realises that the glass is near enough ordinary glass but the metal top and bottom are made of puresteel. Saraph quickly figures a way to detach the top from the glass his mind even quicker to learn due to the changes imparted by the fluid in the canister. His eyes are able to see every impurity in the metals surface as he looks over the metal disk. He attempts to lift the thick glass centre of the canister but is unable to lift the surprising weight of it. Saraph takes the disk and places it in his backpack before exiting the room. Puresteel is a metal compound discovered by the shapers, Saraph is unsure as to the process used but the base ingredient is iron. Once the iron has been refined a skilled smith with the ability to shape somehow uses magic and essence to purify and strengthen the metal incredibly. The result is weaponry that is capable of being sharpened to the point where it cuts through most other metals easily and armour that cannot be scratched, even by diamond. Tino closes the storeroom door and locks it behind Saraph. Saraph is led along further up the corridor and arrives at another door. Tino opens the door and walks though waiting for Saraph and the rest of his creations to pass through before closing it again. Saraph is stood in a cavern that is mostly filled with water. There is a small jetty with a living craft besides it. Living crafts are just what the name implies, the shapers created them to ferry people and supplies across the seas. Their main feature is a large flat circular back with edges around it. They are reptilian with blue scales and a long arched neck they are capable of spiting balls of fire from their mouths. Tino leads Saraph up the jetty and tells Saraph to board the craft. Saraph is unable to fit more than one creation with him so he asks Tino if there is anyway his fyoras can help the rebellion here. “Yes it shouldn’t be a problem for us to employ them here. Have a safe journey to the Grayghost Mountains.” “You are not coming?” Saraph asks surprised. Tino shakes his head before turning and leaving. The living craft swims forward along the natural cave away from the underground dock. As the living craft travels down the tunnel that should be pitch black Saraph finds that he can see clearly and is able to focus on the tiny cracks that appear in the rocks. Saraph is truly amazed by the effects of the luminous liquid. Why don’t the shapers use it to train apprentices? Saraph shrugs he doesn’t care why the shapers don’t use them he wants to find more. When the living craft exits the cave entrance Saraph expects his eyes to hurt from the light after so long in the dark but they don’t they adapt quickly and allow Saraph perfect vision constantly. Saraph smiles he can focus on things that would have been dots in the distance and make out small details about the object. Saraph spots some hikers on the mountains several miles away and can spot pearl buttons fastening one of the men’s jackets. After marvelling at his new sight he sits down and prepares for the week and a half journey to the Grayghost Mountains. Saraph passes the time talking to Zephyrus and improving his control over magic until he is able to create a blizzard of flames for a radius of ten meters around himself. He soon runs out of things to do and for once wishes he could sleep. He should remember to bring some books along with him on the next long journey. He takes to inspecting the puresteel disk for any sign of how it is made but he can discern nothing from the item he makes a note to find a book which details the instruction of making and working puresteel. Halfway though the second week of the journey Saraph runs out of food for Zephyrus and hopes that they are near the Grayghost Mountains but as he looks out he cannot see an inkling of land, not even with his improved eyesight. Saraph is forced to create creation limbs for Zephyrus to eat. Two days later Saraph spots the tips of the gigantic mountains, they are white with snow and Saraph notices a chill in the air. Saraph rummages around his pack and pulls his travelling robes from the bag. He quickly gets changed into his travelling robes throwing the red shaper robes he acquired from the academy into the sea. By the next morning the living craft is swimming by the side of the mountains. Saraph stands at the front of the craft searching for some sort of dock or cave. By midday Saraph spots a small opening at the base of a medium sized mountain. The living craft is heading towards it and once there it swims along a similar tunnel to the one under the mountain near the academy. Saraph notices this tunnel widens almost immediately after the entrance. It is wide enough for several living crafts at one and Saraph presumes that this is one of the major rebel ports. He spots several wooden jetties at the waters edge, two of which are occupied with living crafts being loaded or unloaded. Saraph glimpses one of the canisters he used in the storeroom before. He feels a deep desire to use it but restrains himself. The living craft stops besides a dock and Saraph steps off the craft and onto the wooden jetty, Zephyrus follows Saraph onto the jetty. Saraph sees a robed woman walking swiftly towards him.

But it's like pressing three keys instead of just two. Please could you explain how you find it more efficient because I can't understand the reasons behind capitlising single letters useing caps lock being more efficient?

lol I'm working on all requests theres going to be plenty of new people in this book.

The way i have depicted magic allows Saraph to aleady cast Aura of Flames. Magic in the story is simply the manipulation of magical energy into elemental energy like heat, electrical, light, sound, kinetic, gravitational, and elastic energy. In which case provideing Saraph has enough control he can manipulate the energy to surround him in flames and such.

Indeed its a tad cliffhanger the improvements will become known in time.

Yeh I know that and I do put in my best effort, I re-read every post before I submit them. I am dyslexic but I try my best to not let it bother me.

I do lol i'm writing a story so i'm improveing constantly.

It wasn't poor capitalisation I was annoyed at peoples ineffiency at capitaliseing. The extra effort people use by useing caps lock when shift can be used seems silly to me. I did not realise that Thuryl's post was uncaptialised or containing incorrect spelling. I stuggle to capitalise and spell correctly normally. Nevermind detect someone elses mistakes, whether on purpose or accidental.

I apologise about the brackets. Mabey it was a little offencive and patroniseing. I didn't think before speaking for which I am sorry and will try not to let it happen again.

Book two. Chapter 1 – A Gift of Faith Saraph walks along the path west from the testing grounds, Tino walks behind him whispering directions to Saraph. Saraph walks briskly and before long they arrive at a small bridge over a river. Saraph walks across it when Tino gives him an instruction telling Saraph to turn north. Saraph looks at the ground to the north and notices a small amount of traffic has been up that way. Saraph walks along the faint trail and sees a small building set into a small clearing. Tino unlocks the door with a key and ushers them inside. The building is small and cramped with little light. At the other side of the room is a small door. Tino walks across the room and through the door at the back, Saraph follows close behind. The door exits to a faint forest trail heading north towards the mountains. Saraph follows the trail and keeps mental contact with his creations to make sure they keep a tight formation. As the day draws towards night Saraph arrives at another small building, Tino walks forward and unlocks the door. Once inside Tino locks the door behind them and shuffles to the corner. He lies down and closes his eyes. Saraph remembers that the rest of his creations will also need sleep, he laughs to himself, how could he forget that everyone else requires sleep. He gives his creations permission to sleep and tells Zephyrus that he should sleep too. Saraph sits in the centre of the room and extends his mind outside of the small building. He senses many rogues around them and searches their minds. He realises that they were created by the rebels to purge the island of shapers, they have strict instructions to guard the path that Saraph is travelling along. Morning arrives and Tino stirs, Saraph wakes Zephyrus and his creations. Once awake and ready they set out from the door opposite. The path stretches all the way to the base of the mountains and Saraph passes through many of the small buildings along the way. As they near the base of the mountain the forest comes to an end. Guards patrol the road that crosses over their path. Saraph observes the patrols and find the right time to cross the road to avoid being seen. He times it just right and goes. Saraph makes the safety of the forest moments before the second patrol of guards rounds the corner. He times the crossing again for his creations, one by one they arrive on the other side safely along with Tino. Saraph has one last creation left to navigate across the road. He gives it the signal to go at the right time. The fyora gets halfway across before a stone gives way under the fyora, it falls to the ground as the guards round the corner. Tino tells Saraph he must leave it, that the most important thing for him to do is get to the mountains. Saraph tells his fyora to look like it is rogue and attack the guards. He takes one last look at his fyora wishing he could save it before turning and running down the path. After a couple of minutes Saraph slows back down to a walk. His breath has not accelerated and his heartbeat remained steady the whole time. He arrives at another building and passes though it. The mountains are within an hours walk. Saraph continues walking thinking about his fyora, how many creations must die because of shapers. Saraph gets the base of the mountain and Tino places his hand on a protruding rock. A small crack appears and slowly gets larger, within moments there is an opening in the side of the mountain. Saraph follows Tino through the opening into a small room with a set of stairs at the other side. Tino walks across the room and begins to descend the stairs. Saraph follows him down the stairs and arrives in a large hall. Tino walks across the hall and Saraph notices that it is the central hub of the complex. From this hall are four exits the stairs to the south, a set of doors to the north, and a pair of passageways to the east and west. Saraph follows Tino through the doors and into a long straight corridor. Halfway along the corridor Tino stops and unlocks a door to his right. He tells Saraph that there is a gift of good faith in the room, an example of what the rebels have to offer Saraph. Saraph steps into the small storeroom and looks around. In the centre of the room stands glowing cylinder. The walls are made of thick glass and hold in the glowing liquid inside. The top and bottom of the cylinder are made of thick metal and Saraph can see a layer of thin glass on the top. The liquid begins to move faster as Saraph approaches the strange item. It glows with a sickly luminous light and yet Saraph has an overwhelming compulsion to touch the glass at the top of the canister. Almost in a trancelike state Saraph reaches out with his hand towards the glass. The contents go into overdrive dancing around itself like boiling water in a pan. Saraph’s hand makes contact with the glass and it cracks beneath his slight touch. The liquid within is able to escape. It makes contact with Saraph’s palm and gets absorbed through his skin. It burns along his arm and through his body, after less than a minute the contents of the strange canister have been absorbed into Saraph’s body. Saraph can feel the strange essence within him slowly changing his very being. Saraph falls over as his body begins to change he closes his eyes and focuses on remaining conscious. Once the pain stops Saraph opens his eyes to find his vision has drastically improved and his mind feels clearer. He is capable of much faster thought and processing. He smiles feeling an urge to use more of these strange canisters.

Indeed (see i used shift there like a normally well educted guy does) it annoys me when I see people typeing single capitals with caps lock and then when I tell them about shift they dont believe me lol. It's annoying.

@ Master Ackrovan, Saraph did recieve basic sword work and martial arts dureing the 6 months. @ Velzan, I suppose I could have Saraph get escorted to the rebels by an undercover guardian. That way when Saraph realises he would have to either fight or run (depends how powerful he is) I was also thinking that the canisters act upon Saraph differently due to his stronger relationship with essence. Not overly different but significantly enough. I will also post the chapters for book two and three hear untill it becomes too big and problems occur. Please note that all chapters can be found on my website. The address is http://sharx92.001webs.com/ Thanks all.

Apologies. I have been generliseing as to the shaper sect, mistress artemis was an agent, allong with master ares. councillor tykro (I think thats what I picked for his name) was a guardian but I have not had many chances to include guardians due to the lack of war in the first book. I promise to include them more in this second book. P.S. You are female right? I put "her" in the credits so I realy hope I haven't got it wrong. If I have I apologise immenceley and will change it as soon as I find out. P.P.S. Also Saraph would be unlikely to meet the guardian teachers due to the fact he is training to become a shaper and has phisical frailty.

i'll make it a good battle

Meh i'll get round to it... another thing to add to the list hehe. I first need to get this website looking decent. it needs a bit more decoration. Without breaking spiderweb software's copyright. Edit: Finished inputing the rest of the chapters onto the webpage. Tomorrow I will likely get to work on the first chapter of book two.
