*first thing-grondai I hope you don't mind, this is for you and the Bat Cave gang!*
Chapter two...
And so the ages passed and the caretakers brought peace and prosperity to the land. The world grew fertile and green once more. The gentle dragons of field, sky, earth and stream returned and were accepted by the humans as friends.
As the years passed, dragons multiplied and when the first new Diamond egg hatched to acommon family, caretakers and dragons alike, rejoiced!
They loved him for his charm and beauty. When he was grown and demonstrated great wisdom, they made him their king! Never once recalling the chaos and horror of long ago.
The kingdom prospered as never before and soon the king was advised to wed. He chose a queen from the noble house of magic. Soon the royal pair were blessed with their prince and heir, Anubis.
A charming baby, Anubis played and learned happily between his father's palace in the diamond fields and his mother's estate in the magical gardens. As he grew, he was joined by his cousins Gold, Crusader, Infinity, Quetzal,Mercury and Angel to help him enjoy a joyful, carefree childhood.
Alas, this could not last.
As the cousins grew they became lovely and adored by all. Not so Anubis, who grew akward and ugly.
People and dragons alike shunned him and gave gifts to his more beautiful cousins. Eventually he was sent in shame to his mother's estate in the darkest corner of the land, alone.
Alone, Anubis grew. Alone his bitterness and pain turned to rage. He uncovered dark magics, long buried by his mother's gentle people and studied. Such was his desire for revenge that he soon became the Epic Mage of all Times! And he planned...
... at last...just after Mid-winters Eve, in the depths of the coldest time of year his plans would come to fruition!
He cast spells from newly crafted scrolls and sommoned again, the Nether Portal!!! To the Portal he fed magic gems coated in Nether Dust, collected and stored by unwary caretakers. Then on the darkest nite of the darkest month, he called forth....The Dark Dragons!...and bound them to his will.
He summoned Onyx the Pure Dark. He called Spike of the Thorny Gardens and Kraken from the Murky Depths! He subdued Vulcan as he rose from the Pit and Dracul the Hideous as he descended from The Black Sky! Lastly, Manx the Sly as she strolled from the Portal itself! Then, with awicked smile, he sent them forth to conquer.
In a deadly hoard, they descended on the peaceful habitats of the dragons land. When they entered, the gentle dragons within vanished through the Portal and their homes turned Black. As Anubis had planned, the innocent caretakers flocked to the new dragons to admire their dark beauty. They offered them the fruits of their fields and the gold from their mines. They abandoned the Diamond King and his Court, who withered and grew weak.
Anubis gathered his minions and vanquished his father, who had allowed his humiliation, and became the Ruler of the new Dark Dragon Land!
