Hello everyone! I'm MidnightStar27 (you may call me Midnight or MS) and in case you people didn't bother to read my profile, I'm also known as Blazer-X-27 on Deviant Art (not sure why that's important but it was nagging me at me). This is my newest fan fic and I'll have you know that this story takes place in ANB.

With that out the way, without further ado, it is time to begin the story.

Welcome to TLOS: A Legend Is Born.

PROLOGUE

The moons shone brightly above the night sky. It was the year of the dragon; the year where many dragons would hatch from their protective shells and take their first step into a new world. In a distant forest, there was a temple that had those eggs. Inside were eggs with various colors; some with unique designs and patterns and within each one contained a dragon or dragons with the same color as the egg. Each color would represent the element the hatchlings would bear; red is fire, yellow is electricity, green is earth, and blue is ice, and so on. But sometimes one cannot tell what element their child has because their color would contain different shading. These eggs are treasured and protected by four great dragons; each representing one of the four elements. They awaited the birth of these young dragons. However, a red dragon was waiting like all other dragons, for the birth of a special dragon that the prophecies had spoke of; a purple dragon.

Just as the red dragon disappeared into the room containing that egg, two dragons approached the three male dragons. One was a navy blue male dragon with a sky blue underside, a large tail spade and horns protruding from either side of his temple that curved back towards his spine and slightly upward. Next to him was a pure crimson female dragon with horns that protruded straight out the back of her skull and quills near the base of her tail and along her spine.

"It has been long since we last met, my brothers." spoke the navy blue dragon.

"I only wished we would meet under better times." the green dragon said with a tinge of worry in his voice. "It is times like these that make me worry." he looked towards a wall where two eggs gently rested in a small nest. One was midnight blue with a large crimson spot whilst the other egg was the same but with a sky blue spot.

"I can tell that they're very special young ones." piped the yellow dragon. He spoke so fast that they could barely understand what he was saying. "You have no idea how what kind of dragons these two are. They're practically outstanding, amazing, unique..."

The crimson dragoness interrupted. "Yes. I can only hope," she paused for a second and stared at the eggs. "...that I will live long enough to see these young children."

"Even with the ancestors on our side, I still fear the worse." the green dragon said almost in a morosely tone.

The navy blue dragon chuckled. "There's no reason for you to worry." he placed a comforting paw on his friend's shoulder. "Even when the situation is bleak, we somehow pull through."

The green dragon nodded with a smile but that smile quickly vanished when the temple began to shake. They thought the eggs were safe. They were wrong.

Fear struck the crimson dragoness when she heard the yellow dragon in a different room yelling, "Save them! The Dark Armies have come!" The whole temple shook violently as dust and large chunks of debris fell to the ground. She quickly snatched the eggs before they could be scrambled underneath a falling rock. Her heart nearly stopped when she heard sound that she was too familiar with. Near the entrance were hoots and screeches that quickly drew close.

"Apes." the icy blue dragon said coldly as he and the others readied themselves.

"We can't let them get near the eggs! They're our only hope when facing the Dark Army!" boomed the green dragon.

The crimson dragoness felt a mixture of two emotions; fear and anger. The lives of the dragon realm depend on the young hatchlings. She wanted to help but she could not do a thing about it. She felt a cold paw on her shoulder and nearly dropped the eggs. Behind her was the icy blue dragon.

"In the chamber behind me" the blue dragon motioned his head to the room where the purple egg once was. "...is a secret passage. Take the eggs and go! We'll try to fend off the enemies!" he yelled.

She stuttered a bit. She wanted to help.

"GO NOW, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!" yelled the navy blue dragon as he clawed at a charging ape.

The dragoness looked around the room and found a large basket capable of carrying up to four eggs. Still holding them in her paws, she quickly but carefully walked over to it on her hind legs and gently placed the eggs in the basket. She picked it up with her maw and looked back at the dragons desperately fending off the apes. She hesitated a bit before rushing through the chamber that contained the purple egg and ran out the backdoor. It led to a small balcony where she then took flight into the night sky. Her wings beat against the air propelling her at an incredible speed. If one saw her from the ground, they would only see a black streak moving through the night sky. The dragoness showed no signs of slowing down until she spotted a small clearing with a riverbed and landed near it with a soft thump. She looked around and realized that this was a bad place to land. Surrounding her were a bunch of tall trees, tall grass, and behind them all was darkness that can coat the hiding spot of anyone who'd dare sneak up on someone in the night.

"I have to hurry before they find me." she thought. She gently placed the basket in the water. Instead of flowing with the current, it stayed in that spot and was slowly sinking. She let out a small gasp and pulled the basket out before the eggs could be lost underneath the water. She sighed in relief and started to search for another way to sail the eggs away to safety. It was when she looked up and saw a purple egg floating down the river in a mushroom cap. Seeing this sparked an idea in her head and lucky for her she found what she needed. Several mushrooms on the other side of the bank. With one powerful leap, she made it over to the other side, plucked two mushroom caps and went back over. She then placed the eggs in them and gently pushed the "boats" into the water and watched them float away side by side a few inches away from the purple egg.

"May the ancestors look after you. May they look after us all." the crimson dragoness muttered grimly. She watch as all three reached a split path. She was about to leave when she felt something cold run through her neck. She felt down clutching her throat and felt something warm running over her paws. It was blood; her blood. Shortly, she was starting to lose consciousness as he started gasping for air and was choking on her blood. The last thing she saw was the purple egg took one path whilst the other two eggs took the other path.

"Please young ones. Be safe, be strong, and never lose hope." she thought as she faintly smiled before she saw an ape walk in front of her with a bloody dagger and ended her life.

Umm...yeah. No names were given out. Anyways, I know you people can guess who some of those dragons are. I'm not expecting you all to figure out who the new ones are though. Please R & R.
