They look outside and see a bunch of blue dragons attacking.
“ The Blue Fire Clan!” Gmńeon snarls and charges outside.
Iquén looks at the rest of the group “ You kids stay here!” He runs out too.
“ Who are those blue dragons?” Aurora asked.
“ The Blue Fire Clan they are another dragon clan we tend to fight a lot over territory.”
“ None of the other dragon clans know about me yet if they did they’d probably try to kill me 'cause I’d be the easiest to get to” Jnoque explains.
" We have to go help them! We can't just stay here!" Aurora gets up and puts the Soler Crest back on.
" What can we do? We'd get fried out there." Slor points out
" The Soler Crest will protect me, right? So you just need to be near me." " We don't know its limits and those dragons can breathe hotter blue fire," Jnoque warns.
Dponá looks outside " We should find Zomkí we don't know what the Volcanic Core can do and we don't want the other clan to get it."
" But we don't know where she went."
"Hm we could check the treasury it's our most guarded spot if an important artifact is anywhere here it's there." " We can show you where it is."
They sneak outside and see dragons fighting it’s chaotic. They see Iquén fighting a big blue dragon
Jnoque wants to help but Dponá stops him “ He’s strong he’ll be fine we need to keep moving.” He nods sadly. They get to a big door connected to a rock wall and see four big blue dragons surrounding Zomkí and she has an injured wing growling at them with other dragons knocked out next to her.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" Dponá yells at them.
They turn and look at the group.
"HA! Do you think you can stop us? A youngling and none dragons we'll burn you up!" He shoots fire at them and Dponá combats it with her own green fire and flies up and they fight.
While that's happening Zomkí fights the other three dragons and helps the rest of the group get inside the treasury.
Jnoque is very worried Dyani noticed this “ Hey their’ll be ok.” Jnoque looks at him “ Y-Yeah..”
“ This place is huge” Slor looks around at the mountains of treasure “ How will we find the Core in here?”
The Solar Creat starts to glow again Aurora takes it off and looks at it. One of the star ends is glowing a lot more like a compass.
“ Maybe it can sense the core?”
“ One way to find out.”
They walk through the mountains of treasure searching and following the glow.
On a treasure pile they see a round, core-like rock that shines with the intensity of molten lava.
The Volcanic Core
“ Is that it?” Aurora and Jnoque climb up to it. Once she gets close to it both it and the Solar Crest shake and two spirits pop out.
The spirit in the Solar Crest has long, flowing black hair with streaks of silver like cooling embers. His skin is a deep ash color, and he wears a robe that shimmers like the dying light of a fire. He opens his glowing amber eyes.
The other spirit in the Volcanic Core has fiery red hair that flows like molten lava, with eyes that burn a fierce orange. His skin has a warm bronze hue, and he wears armor with glowing ember-like veins running through it.
Once they are aware of their surroundings they become alert and panicked. “ Where are we!? What happened to us!” The Volcanic Core spirit shouted.
“No time to explain! We just need your help!” Aurora declared.
Jnoque touches the core and it glows becomes a necklace around his neck pulling the spirit with it.
Jnoque feels a surge of power in his veins and hears a roar of pain.
Panicked he runs outside to find Dponá and Zomkí on the ground with lots of injuries. Filling up with rage he runs at them.
"Come on this way!" " Where are we going again Apool (app ool)?" A young Jnoque follows his big brother in the woods " I hear there was a cool cave near here" he replied.
" Mom and Dad wouldn't like us going out this far..."
" We'll be quick Jn don't worry."
Apool was so cool he could do all the things Jnoque couldn't he was brave and fearless and always did the right thing.
They approach a cave that has a bunch of keep-out signs
" I don't think we're supposed to be here Apool..."
"I'll protect you! Come on!" he holds his hand and they go in.
Inside the cave was a pile of glowing gold
" Woah cool!" Apool approaches it but Jnoque stops him and points to a sign that says do not touch. " We don't know what's here and shouldn't touch its stuff.."
" I guess but we could take this back to the village" he goes to pick up a piece of gold and Jnoque pushes him away from it.
Annoyed Apool pushes him back and he lands on top of the gold.
The golds shine dims and zaps him causing him to hold his head in pain and feels ill.
His eyes turn purple pupils turning into slits his hair turns white and his ears turn pointy and black and he grows a fang.
The transformation was very painful shaking with tears in his eyes he looks at his brother who has backed away in fear and grabs his arm to pull him off the gold but the transformation has already completed.
Then his throat feels like it’s burning something is building up and he tries to hold it in.
Fire comes shooting out of his mouth burning it
Apool try’s to move out the was but his arm got caught in it burning it off. He screams in agony and passed out.
Realizing what he just did Jnoque panics and runs to him crying he picks him up and it’s a lot easier now and runs to the village to get help.
Someone screams at him and everyone turns to him some doctors snatch Apool from him and run to the clinic. Jnoque tries to follow them but is stopped
"Are you gonna hurt us too!?"
In the crowd, he spots a woman and a man.
" Mom! Dad!" scared he goes to them for comfort but they hit him away just look at him disgusted. " Leave freak! How dare you hurt our son!" " If he dies we're hunting you down!" " Get out and don't come back!!" Scared and confused he runs away crying.
Seeing Dponá hurt Jnoque is full of rage and runs at the blue dragons The Volcanic Core glows and he shoots white and purple fire at them. Frightened the blue dragons immadaly run away.
When they leave Jnoque runs to Dponá and Zomkí and hugs them.
The others come out of the treasury.
Dyani sees their wounds " Are you ok?" Zomkí just smiles " We will be dragons can heal quickly."
She looks at the spirits " You got them to wake." she smiles " Solaris, Ignis, it's been a long time. But we can catch up later right now we got to help the rest of the clan."
They nod and go the find the other dragons still fighting.
Iquén is seriously hurt. Seeing this both Jnoque and Dponá jump into action Jnoque hopping on her back and she flies towards the blue dragon.
They both breathe fire at the dragon combining their fires together to seriously burn the blue dragon causing him to retreat.
They then run to help Iquén get to a safe place.
Another dragon tries to breathe fire at Aurora and co but she without thinking creates a black shield causing the fire to fly back at the dragon.
“ You have my ability?” Solaris questioned.
" Makes since cause you are the Solar Crest that it has your powers." Aurora shrugged. Before he could say anything some of the dragon clan members come to help them aganst the blue dragons.
Once all of the blue dragons leave they go to help the injured.
