I've been working on this fic for quite a while now when something occurded to me...I know several people here have accounts on ff.net, but others don not.
So in order to fix that little problem. I have finally decided to post my story here!
Enjoy!

The Mysterious beginning
'Find them!’ cried the unseen voice “you must find them, and save them!” As the child continued to walk this was the voice he heard all day and all night, awake or asleep it didn’t matter, the voice continued it’s quiet and subtle cries. The child looked up at the bright blue sky and cried with his with his voice as loud as he could
“Why me!!!! I didn’t ask for this!” and although he honestly thought he couldn’t walk any more than he had for the last seven weeks, his body continued on even when his brain was sending him signals to stop, his body didn’t respond. And then just like so many times before the child fell asleep while walking listening to the voice slowly edge him on towards his unseen goal.
Her mind was wandering, but she couldn’t stay asleep almost if just because her mind was working so hard, it kept showing images of a flyer with his wings spread, blocking the sun letting only his pink eyes shine through like a pair of sharpteeth ready to go in for the kill, but instead of attacking he smiled and gave a light hearted laugh and slowly lowered himself onto the ground, and began to speak, but his voice was slowed down to a fraction of what it should’ve been when he said
“You are my heart, I am your claws.”
Then her blue sapphire eyes shot open in a sudden burst of fear and confusion.
ëThat’s the third time this week’ thought the young girl as she warily checked her surroundings.
She then noticed she was with her friends and family inside the safest place in the world the Great Valley
ëMaybe Littlefoot will be able to help me with these sleep-stories in the morning.’ As the young female longneck laid her head back down on the ground, she only had one question on her mind:
ëWho is that strange looking flyer?’
Two days later….
He couldn’t see, he could barely feel what was going on around him, let alone tell he was about to walk right into someone’s foot, but of course when he did, it gave him enough of a jolt to wake him up and made him slightly dizzy. His voice was soft, and caring, but because of fatigue and hunger and an assortment of other problems, his throat was sore and coarse.
“Where am I?” asked the young child to someone he assumed to be an elder here; where-ever here was, and of course that’s assuming his eyes weren’t just going bad form the endless walking he’d done prior to arriving again where ever here was! The voice that responded almost immediately told the young flyer that he was conversing with a three-horn. It also told him that his assumption was a correct one…even if he was having trouble seeing.
“You must be crazy if you don’t know where you are kid!” Then another voice spoke up out of the blurry mess that was this child’s vision.
“You are in the Great valley young one.” Although he couldn’t see very well he made an attempt to at least show a little respect to the owner of the voice. Of course before he could thank the owner who he assumed to be a female longneck he collapsed onto the floor and said quietly before anyone could begin to ask concerning questions…
“All I need is a little rest and I’ll be okay.” And with that he quickly drifted into unconsciousness.
Just as he felt like the worries of his heart were over little did the young boy know his troubles were only just beginning. As his body began to relax his mind began to constrict and contort like a rope being entangled within it-self. The subtle voice he had come to know as his heart spoke to him once more, but this time gave him a different message than from before.
“You have survived fire and sharpteeth….they are your heart, and you are their claws ………I know you…your past….your future.” And then the voice paused almost expecting him to respond, but when he didn’t it continued talking
“They will teach you new things and you in turn must show them how to open their hearts to the possibilities that our world possesses. This is the way of the Guardians….and soon you’ll learn just what it means to unleash your guardian spirit into the world….but until then….rest and make friends….and enjoy your young life… and then the voice began to fade, but if he could bet his life on what he heard next he would’ve sworn he heard the voice say ….my son.”
In his sleep induced state he replied just loud enough so he thought the voice could hear…
“I love you mom.” His eyes began to open…slowly at first, but as he heard the ear piercing scream his eyes shot open….and he thought ëno not again….please don’t let it be happening again.’
He jumped up with renewed energy and almost like a bolt of lighting he was off in the direction of the scream….of course it wasn’t far from where he fell asleep, but when he arrived he almost immediately knew what he had to do.
He jumped from the hill he was currently standing on and spread his wings letting the air flow beneath him giving him the lift he needed to reach the falling swimmer. As she landed on his back he told her…
“Hold on to my neck and don’t let go!” The swimmer only had time to nod to her savior and did as she was told. The child then proceeded to fly the girl back to her friends whom she pointed out to be the group looking down and very relieved that their friend was safe and being brought back to them. As the flyer landed among the group, he noticed they were different kinds: two longnecks, one flyer, one spike-tail , one three-horn, and another flyer. The young female swimmer slid down off of his back, and said
“Thank you for saving me.” He then received a hug for his troubles, of course making him blush just barely.
As the flyer looked around the group while still embraced in his hug one of the longnecks among the group locked eyes with the flyer, and almost went into a trance-like state….the longneck began trembling and slowly walking backwards away from the flyer, but then the flyer also broke his hug with the swimmer and began backing away as well.
But ultimately forgot about the cliff ledge he was standing on, and with one misplaced step he fell backwards through the air, and as most of the group ran to the edge to see what was going to happen, one member turned and ran away from the group hoping to gain as much distance from the pink eyed flyer as possible.
While the rest of the group was looking over the ledge, the flyer extended his wings and unfolded the tips on his wings, and dug them and his feet into the side of the cliff slowing his decent and eventually coming to a complete stop about halfway down the cliff, and began to climb his way back up.
The young longneck was running as if her life depended on it….and then she stopped almost angry with herself that she could be so scared and selfish….thinking of only her own safety. She stood in that one spot feeling the tears well up inside her eyes and made no attempt to hide them, turning around slowly she began to walk back to where her friends and possibly a new one waited….
