Prolouge
Thick black smoke clogged the air with its tense smell of burning wood, tar, and fur. Flames licked the sky, greedily devouring everything in its path, giving no mercy to human or animal flesh and bones. Screams reverberated within the ears of the survivors as they frantically searched for loved ones.
He dropped to his knees, rain soaking into his hair, clothes, and bones. "It's not fair! I was right there!” he screamed and punched the ground over and over bloodying his hands. “It’s not fair!” looking up into the sky, rain mixing in with his tears “Why? Why did you let them take her away from me?” he hung his head, the Gods never answered.
His scales were darker than obsidian and his eyes deeper than the red of a ruby, the dragon stepped before him and wrapped his large wings around him, sheltering him from the piercing cold rain. “Boy,” his voice boomed inside his head, yet held the gentleness of a father, “Do you seek Razbunare, revenge?”
He raised his head, glaring in to the dragon’s eyes, “Yes. I want to kill them! Every last one of them! What they did-I will get my revenge!”
Chapter one
Osiris lunged out of his twisted sheets and fell to the floor. Memories of that day terrorized him nightly. He cursed as he felt the bump slowly rise on his forehead. More curses escaped as he struggled from the confines of his sheets. He threw them onto the bed as he made his way to the bathroom. Hazy blue eyes stared back from the medicine cabinet mirror; he ran a hand through his black hair then yawned.
Steam quickly filled the room from his shower. He always turned the water to its hottest setting; it relaxed his muscles and opened up his lungs. He stayed till the water ran warm then reluctantly stepped out. He stared at his reflection in the steamed cover mirror; three claw-like scars ran across his chest, the seal of his covenant with Razbunare, his dragon familiar.
