Let's just get one thing out of the way, you know before we get to the drama of my sister being alive, flying is AWESOME!!! The speed, wind and view make the best way to travel. Though I could do without the scales.
I was approaching on the Golden Gate Bridge, but as I got closer my fears were confirmed. It really was Detective Terrior and he really did have Bridgette, my sister. "YOU!!!" I screamed at him dropping hard down on the bridge tower.
"Yes me." He replied calmly. I started to charge thinking about whether I should burn him or slash him. "Uh-uh. If you come closer your sister dies." I thought he was bluffing, I mean come on he had nothing in his hand. Then he took his hand away from Bridgette's head and FLAMES came out. Yes Fire. He shot freaking fire...looking back it was ironic seeing how I'm half dragon now. "Let...her...go."
"Not until you give me what is mine." All of a sudden I new who he was.
"There is no Detective Terrior."
"Ding ding ding! You guessed it."
"You're the man who pulled me out of that red lightning."
"Yep." Then he changed from from Detective Terrior to an older at least fifty man. He had grey hair and red eyes. That's all you really need to know about his looks. He looked the same as when I met him two years ago. "Good job August. Though I don't think you would have guessed if I hadn't lost control over my form."
"Hence the red eyes."
"Exactly now..."
"Wait that thing is August? My brother August!" said Bridgette. It kind of hurt how she called me "that thing".
"Yes dear."
"Why is he here? You told me he burned our house down, but after all this..."
"He told you what!?" I yelled
"Yes well... I lied it was me."said the old man.
"What?! I've been living with you for two years! And you're telling me it was two years of lies!"
"Just about sums it up. Now August if you let me take your power I'll let your sister go."
"You can't do that."
"Sure I can! Where do you think I've been for two years. I've learned dark magic. That's how I changed shape! I'm kind of a Dark Sage. Oh I think I'll call myself that."
I'll admit it was tempting. I would stop being scaly and get my sister back, but would she even trust me? I didn't know all the lies he told and it's hard to stop hating someone once you start. Then there were the dragons, I could save them and maybe even start a new civilization with dragons and humans and I would be there for both sides. *Sigh* I have too much morality.
"No."
"What?"
"I said no."
"You're a fool all of you! You get power and what do you do? You try to save your sister and a race that is long dead!"
"The dragons live and you know! Maybe I am a fool but at least I'm liked."
"Now see there is a foolish statement. Do you really think you are going to be accepted. By dragons or humans. And when you do find the dragons how do you know the humans and dragons will go to war for control of Earth?"
"I can't sit around thinking of ways things can go wrong. I have to do, to make actions, and then clean up the mess if there is one. If my intentions are good I think I'm already using this power better than you. What would you do with it? Rule the world?"
"Yes. With that power I would have a dragon army to conquer and control."
"That's mad. What gives you the right to rule? That is the most insane thing I've ever heard."
"What gives me the right to rule? The fact I can, and aren't we all crazy? I think you prove that. Though questions aside here's another: do you want your sister." I nod, so does Bridgette. "Then go get her!" and he throws her off the bridge. Time slowed. I heard Bridgette's scream and the Sage's laugh. I push off the bridge...swoop down...and catch her.
I bring her back up and put her down. The Sage turned to run but I flew straight into him. Knocking him down. Then I don't really remember anything but I do remember.
Red,
Slashing,
Screaming,
Crying. Then I came out of my trance and found myself...standing over the Sage's torn body. Bridgette was crying, and I was surprised to find so was I. I tried to approach her, but she just shrank back away from, and who could blame her? I had just lost control and killed a man. I tried to speak but no words came out. Then I noticed cops coming up the bridge so I left.
Remember how I never gave a described myself pre-mutation? Well that's because I don't even remember what I looked like
Prologue
That moment hurt... a lot. Dark Sage was right no one would accept me not even my sister. Then a voice came into my head "August are you okay?"
"Just leave me alone Long"
"Okay"
I was thinking, probably to take my mind off what had happened, but what I thought was important. There were lot's off people with powers popping up. It seemed like there were new ones everyday. Good, bad, or even neutrals, people who hid their powers. Well if people are getting powers that means man is evolving, but for what?
I don't know like I said I probably thought of it to keep my mind off the events that was my life, but if I'm right we are going to need heroes,and I don't know much, if nothing, but I do know this.
My name is August Summers. I'm going to save the world and the dragons. I am one of the heroes and I am...Agon.
