Pyra here, since the rules don't allow author and muses talked with each other before and after a chapter of a serious fic. Er, is that correct? If it isn't, then you can hear more insanity from me and my muses!

Sorry about that, sometimes Lee can be so annoying. Anyway, I have this idea for a while and won't leave me alone. So, why not type it down?

=============================================================

Prologue

=============================================================

The Dragon Realm, a world where humans thought all the things there are fantasy. All creatures, great and small, lived there in peace. Also, one thing this world have that most humans though was nonsense.

Magic.

There are many different kinds of magic; there are the elements of nature (Fire, Water, Earth and Wind).

There are many kingdoms in the Dragon Realm, but dragons are usually the rulers. Other creatures can live there to work at the castle, like phoenixes as messengers, elves as tutors, and so on.

Many creatures sometimes wonder how their world exist, some say their world made by deities, others say their home was made exactly like the humans' world. But none of those theories were proven to be correct without technologies humans have.

We looked inside the Kingdom of Dragyn, the kingdom known for its fire elemental royal dragon family. We went inside a room to see a...kitchen!? Whoops, sorry, I read the map upside-down.

Anyway, we're now inside one of the royal bedrooms, looking out one of the windows, with his head resting on his right hand, is the prince and heir to the Dragyn throne, Ryuuen.

The draconian prince is currently in his human form; he was five years old in both human and dragon's years. His cinnamon hair have a spiky bangs with the tips of his hair curl up, a hairstyle he inherited from his deceased mother, Yurita Long-Draken.

Watching the stars with his slitted reddish-brown eyes, the young prince thought of what happens this late afternoon.

FLASHBACK

Ryuuen was walking in the corridors, with his bodyguard, Renki, a Grey Storm Dragon, by his side. He met couples of servants and maids in the corridors, every ten minutes.

"Prince Ryuuen, what shall we do next?" Renki asked the young prince. He has grey-blue hair with storm grey eyes. He wears a grey bodysuit with bluish-grey dragon like armour over it.

"Renki, just called me Ryuuen," Ryuuen replied to his bodyguard and one of his closest friends.

Renki just shook his head, looked at Dragyn heir with his grey eyes. "Sorry, Prince Ryuuen, but I can't let your father finds out I called you informally."

Ryuuen frowned, he may be young by humans' standard, but he was smart for his age and one thing he hates the most is being royalty. He never went outside the palace without guards watching him, having boring classes with his elf tutor, Kuruden, and most of all, he isn't allow to play with the kids of the lower class. Ryuuen usually sneak out at night to play with the kids, disguised as a commoner. Renki disapproved of it, but help the young dragon out when he saw the curiosity and the way Ryuuen wanted to go out without guards.

He meets lots of children of different species, but the closest friend he made was a common, scarlet and black European dragon, Pyra, beside Renki. Pyra was an orphan who lives in the streets of the Dragyn town. They both have fun playing pranks, playing games and so on.

Ryuuen walked past a room, until he heard a voice from inside.

"...I'm sure she'll be perfect for young Ryuuen."

Ryuuen turns to the door and see it opens a little. He peaked through the space out of curiosity.

"Ryuuen," Renki started, but Ryuuen put a finger to his mouth, signally him to be quiet.

The young prince turn back to the door. Inside he saw his father, King Ryuuki Draken, talking to another man who, judging by his clothes, is also a king from another kingdom.

"They'll be perfect together." King Ryuuki said to the other king. "My son will grow to love her, Mizuku."

The man, Mizuku, nodded. "This way, our kingdoms will be joined."

(Ranma ½ fans, does this sound familiar?)

Ryuuen continued to spy on his father, wandering what's going.

"Your daughter, Karita, will be the perfect fiancée for my son." King Ryuuki said.

Behind the door, Ryuuen steps back in surprise. Fiancée? There's another thing he hate about being a prince, arranged marriage.

"Your highness?" Renki asked softly, in concern.

Then, Ryuuen runs down the corridor to go up the stairs to his bedroom. He locked the door behind him.

"Prince Ryuuen!"

END FLASHBACK

That's hours ago, and the prince stay in his room and only comes down for dinner before he went back inside his bedroom again.

"That's it!" Ryuuen exclaimed. "I'm outta here!"

He opens his closet, separated some clothes from each other and went to the back of the closet to find a secret compartment. He opens the compartment to find his commoner disguise, an old white T-shirt and brown shorts.

He brings out a backpack he hides with his commoner outfit and stuffed in things he needed. After he put in some clothes, he turns to his desk to look at one thing he received from his mother since he was three.

On his desk are two pendants. Both of them have a Chinese dragon each. Both dragons hold a part of a word. The left dragon holds "FOR", while the other one holds "EVER". When they put together, the dragons form a heart, with the two separated words join to make "FOREVER".

Ryuuen remembers his mother words when she given him the pendants. She says about given one of the pendants to another person he cares very deeply for while wearing the other one. But the brunette never know what the true meaning of the two pendants, since his mother has been assassinated before he was old enough to know.

Ryuuen grabs them and wears the left pendant with the "FOR" word. He knows who to give the other one for, even if he didn't know the true meaning.

Ryuuen quickly dressed in his commoner disguised, then the prince left a note on his desk. He opens his bedroom doors and walked quietly and softly down the stairs and corridor.

The young prince dodged and hides when a guard occasionally walks down the corridor from time to time. He made it to the front door to find a guard leaning against the wall, snoring.

As quiet as he can, he opens the door and tiptoe through before closing it behind him. He walks quietly a bit before breaks into a run to the town in from of the Dragyn Kingdom.

Running through the quiet streets at night towards his destination, he found himself at the edge of town, facing the Keikira Forest. Walking inside the forest, jumping over logs and roots, ducking under branches, Ryuuen finds a clearing with a young female dragon in her human form in front of a portal.

"Pyra!" Ryuuen exclaimed, running towards his friend.

Pyra has slightly messy raven hair with red high-lines just above her shoulder with slitted crimson eyes. Her ragged brown shirt and shorts tells she lives in the streets. Holding around her shoulder is a brown bag she stole with her things in it. The 5 years old dragon turns to Ryuuen when her name is called.

"So," Pyra began. "You decide to leave, huh?"

"Yeah," Ryuuen replied, stopping in front of the crimson-eye dragon. "My father have decide have Karita as my fiancée when I'm old enough."

A look of jealousy was seen flash in her eyes but quickly disappear before Ryuuen noticed it. The orphan asked her friend, "Karita? As in Karita Ameryu from the Ameryu Kingdom near the seaside?"

The prince nodded. "Yeah, her." Looking at the portal, he asked. "That's the portal you've been talking about? I thought you were joking about it."

"Yeah, it's real, all right, Ryu." Pyra answered. Shifting her bag, the European dragon said, "Let's go."

Ryuuen about to replied but suddenly, he felt a hand on his left shoulder. He jumped in surprise. "Ah!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down or you'll wake up the whole kingdom." A familiar voice said.

Looking up, the young dragon saw the familiar storm grey eyes. "Renki?"

The Grey Strom Dragon is no longer in his uniform. He's currently wearing brown pants, grey shirt and blue vest with a bag hung from his right shoulder.

"I am coming with you," Renki said softly to the younger dragon. "No argument."

Ryuuen about to protest but the look in Renki's eyes tells him he won't take "no" for an answer.

"So, you're Renki." Pyra began, studying the older dragon. "Ryu tells me a lot about you. I didn't know you're cute."

"'Ryu'?" Renki asked.

"A nickname Pyra gave me." Ryuuen replied, and then asked, "Why did you want to go with us?"

"I want to see the human world," Renki answered. "You could say its wanderlust."

"Well, common! We haven't got all day, er, I mean night!" Pyra exclaimed, "Let's jump in before the portal closes."

Ryuuen studied the bluish portal. "Are you sure its goes to the human world?"

"Don't worry, I've a feeling it do." Pyra said, just before she jumped through the portal, Ryuuen cried out, "Wait!"

The female dragon turns to see her best friend hold out a pendant with a Chinese dragon holding "EVER".

"Wha?" Pyra asked.

The draconian prince put the pendant around Pyra's neck; the one he's wearing is hidden underneath his shirt.

"Just something I want you to have." Ryuuen said. "I give you the other half since you're my closest friend, Pyra."

Clutching the pendant before hidden it underneath her shirt. "Thanks, Ryu."

Renki smiles at the exchange. 'Those two will be happy together once they're old enough. Karita maybe a princess, but she won't make Ryuuen happy like Pyra.' "Let's go, you two, unless you want to stay here and have Ryuuen engages to Karita."

Ryuuen gapped at Renki. "You didn't call me prince!"

The Grey Storm Dragon chuckles, "We're going to live in the Human World, so your father isn't there to hear me called you informally."

"Let's go! I don't want that spoiled brat be Ryuuen's fiancée!" Pyra exclaimed, before she jumps into the portal.

"Wait, Pyra! Wait for ME!!" Ryuuen cried, jumped after his friend.

"Not so fast, you two!" Renki laughed, jumped inside the portal.

=The Human World. Jiyuugaoko, Park=

A portal appears in a deserted area of a park and three people fell out and land on the ground, hard. And I mean HARD!

"OOPH!"

Nearby, two families were having a picnic with each other, the Kanbarra and Akaidra.

(DON'T START ON SAYING I'VE SPELT TAKUYA'S SURNAME INCORRECTLY!! SOME WEBSITE I'VE BEEN TO SPELT IT THE SAME WAY I DO!! AND I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE SPELLING IT THAT WAY!!)

Yuriko Kanbarra and Yung "Yan" Akaidra turns to where they heard the sound. Their husbands noticed their spouses looking somewhere.

"Yuri-chan, what's wrong?" Takeshi asked his wife, Yuriko.

"Takeshi dear, I've heard a voice over there." Yuriko said, pointing to where she heard the sound with her left hand while holding her son, Shinya, in her other arm.

"Me too, Charos." Yan said.

"I'll go and investigate." Charos, Yan's husband, said, walking to where the sound comes from.

==

Charos walks through the bush and found three kids, two 3 year olds and a teenager, lying on the ground. He walks slowly towards them, then stop when the blue-grey hair teenager regains consciousness.

"Arg, where are we?" The teenager asked.

"In Jiyuugaoko Park." Charos answered.

The teenager saw him, stands up quickly and moves protectively in front of the younger children.

"Relax, I mean no harm." Charos said, softly, taking a step forward.

==

Renki looked at the human in suspicious, then he saw the sincerity in the human's eyes and relax his stand.

The draconian turns to check on his friends. Both Ryuuen and Pyra will be all right, after a few hours.

"So, what is your name?" A voice said suddenly, Renki turns around to see the human crouching down.

"Ren." Renki replied, saying the first human name in his mind.

That was time Pyra and Ryuuen regain consciousness.

"Who or what am I lying on?" Ryuuen asked out loud in Japanese, one of humans' many languages.

"On me, idiot!" Pyra exclaimed.

"Sorry!" Ryuuen quickly get off Pyra and stands up to face Renki, but the former draconian prince saw his ex-bodyguard with a human.

"Ren, who are the children?" The male human asked.

'Ren?' Ryuuen thought, then realise his name doesn't sound like a human name. The young draconian said the first name in his mind. "My name is Takuya."

Pyra seems to figure it out, since she said, "My name is Ruby."

"Where are your parents, kids?" the human asked.

"They died, including mine." Renki replied, and then asked, "Can you tell me your name?"

"Oh, sorry. Must've forgotten my manners, I'm Charos Akaidra." The human, Charos, replied. "May I ask you all this, do you three want to go to the orphanage?"

"NO!!"

"Do you want to be adopted?" Charos asked.

They looked at each other, Charos seems kind and sincere, and he has this aura they sense from a fighter, maybe a martial artist.

"My wife and I will promise to take care of one or two of you." Charos said.

Renki, or Ren he is now called, step forward. "I want to be adopted with R- Takuya."

"But I don't wanna be Takuya's sister, just friend!" Ruby exclaimed.

"I'll talk with my wife and a friend of mine." Charos said, then added. "My friend's son, Shinya, would love to have an older sibling."

==

Charos lead the kids to the picnic area where his wife and the Kanbarra were waiting.

He talked with them and they agreed to adopt the kids.

(My Creativity Juice is rather low so I can't imagine the conversation.)

The Akaidra adopted Ruby, who was happy with the arrangement and adjusted being living with a Chinese family.

The Kanbarra adopted both Takuya and Ren. Ren's glad with the arrangement so he can look after Takuya, old habits die-hard. Takuya's happy that he have two brothers and isn't Ruby's sister. The young draconian thought of Ruby as a friend, not sibling, for now.

The three dragons live peacefully in the human world, with normal human's problems and stuffs like that.

But they didn't know what Fate have in store for them, in a matter of years.

=============================================================

Woo, takes me a while to type it down because homework and school keeps me occupied.

Takuya, Ruby and Ren settle down in the human world, but their problems have yet started. The next chapter is a couple years from this one. If you haven't figured it out, Takuya and Ruby will be a couple, or should I say Ryuuen and Pyra? Ren/Renki may or may not have a girlfriend; it's depends if I feel like it.

As for the two pendants Ryuuen/Takuya have from his biological mother (well, in this story), well, sore wa himitsu desu! XD All I can say that its very important.

Also, the other Chosen Children WILL appear in the next chapter, if ya all wondering.

See ya till next time!
