Synopsis
A tale of epic proportions.
The Rise of Xosha tells the tale of Xosha's beginnings.
Where Anjyls are mortal pawns,
Dragons rule the skies,
Wolves and elves roam the forests,
and demons lurk below the surface.

Oceanus, the leader of the last hord of dragons in the realms must find his people a new home.
Going only on the word of the odd colored white dragon, Rose, he leads the horde far from their home, over waters that seem to have no end.
Pyre, Oceanus' younger, rebellious brother must come to terms with the fact that Oceanus will never see him as anything more than a whelp too young to be of any use.
Jade the youngest of the three has her own thoughts and inner demons to contend with.
Then there's Rose, The dragon with an amazing gift no one will acknowledge. The outcast of her people simply because she's the only one of her color.
Will these four ever come to terms with why they had to leave their home?
And what strange new beings will they encounter in their new territory?
Find out when you read The Rise of Xosha; The story that started the legend.

"not all allies are friends, not all friends are true, and some enemies will in turn be your greatest allies."



Pyre was ready to call it quits. He foresaw no end to the desert and was not only tired but starving. Reaper warned them from the start that stopping even for a few minutes out here would mean death.
Pyre tried to lift his leg to step in vain, and soon felt himself crash, exhausted in the sand. The others heard the thud over the swirling winds and stopped each turning around.
“Pyre you have to get up. We’re almost out of here!” Oceanus yelled, Panic laced in his words.
It’s too late for him. We have to keep moving! Reaper growled to the large blue dragon.
“I’m not leaving him behind wolf! He’s my brother I can’t leave him!” Oceanus hissed to the wolf alpha.
The ground behind Pyre began to rumble. The vibration trailing over to Oceanus and the wolves. They all looked down between their feet, then to Pyre, then to the large sand dune forming behind him. Shocked horror masked on all their faces.
We have to move now or we’re all dead! Reaper barked. Behind him, the four scouts began to shift their weight from paw to paw nervously as they whined.
“I am not leaving Pyre…” Oceanus started. His words abruptly cut off by an earsplitting clacking sound.
Behind Pyre, stood a scorpion as large as a small dragon. It’s deadly tail dripping green poison.
“What in the nine hells is that?!” Oceanus fumbled for words as his gaze fell on the creature.
One of the many reasons I told you not to lift the mountain. That’s a pet of the demons of Shai’Pyre. If it’s tail even grazes you, it’s death. Reaper explained as he and the other wolves backed up slowly.
I hear the meat under the shell is to die for. The snarky female scout commented.
The scorpion had spotted Pyre’s prone form and poised its tail to strike.

Character Bio



Oceanus
Oceanus is the leader of the dragons that claim Xosha as their home. He is older than many think and tries to do the best he can to lead the dragons that follow him. Being a blue dragon, Oceanus can control and manipulate water at will.






Pyre
Pyre is Oceanus’ younger brother, born to the second clutch their parents had. While age wise, he is considered an adult, his actions deem him an adolescent in Oceanus’ eyes. Pyre can be brave, and is always stubborn. Being a red dragon, Pyre can control and manipulate fire at will.




Jade
The youngest sibling to Oceanus and Pyre, born to the last clutch their parents had before the humans arrived. Being vulnerable, young, and feeling alone since she is the youngest in the horde, she was an easy target for Fury and her minions. As a green dragon, Jade can control and manipulate air at will.



Rose
Chosen by the gods, Rose can communicate with them when they need to relay a message. Her odd coloring deemed her an outcast to the horde. Showing no visible abilities, she was deemed weak and useless. Oceanus and Jade are her only friends. Being a white dragon, Rose can heal any wound, and if could in enough time, she can restore the soul to the dead.



Reaper Rose
Alpha of the Rose pack, the main wolf pack in the Solstyce Woods. Reaper had a rough life and earned his place as alpha. While seen as heartless and uncaring by the dragons due to some of his actions, it is evident that every move he makes is in the best interest of his pack. Reaper is a black wolf that stands six feet tall from foot to ear tips on all four legs.

Asami
A hellhound found in the belly of Shai’Pyre. She and her pack of five were deemed traitors by Fury though it is unclear why. Granted sanctuary by Reaper when found in a cage in the belly of Shai’Pyre, she makes it her mission now to show her new alpha that not all hellhounds are evil. Asami is a red hound with red gargoyle wings. She stands roughly five feet tall from foot to ear tips, Six feet if you measure to the tips of her wings.

Fury Nye’Cross
Fury holds the title of the Queen of Shai’Pyre, though in reality she is nothing more than her brother’s champion. A vicious Shai Demon, Fury’s flesh is tan tinged with a reddish hue, and deadly horns that protrude from her forehead. Her favorite method of torture is her tail whose spaded end is deadly accurate. Fury is five foot two with gold eyes.


Elrur Silverspell:
King of Silverspell, Elrur is a Silver Elf. He stands approximately five foot nine, his skin is a periwinkle color with the traditional elvish long pointed ears. His hair white and his eyes are a pale blue. Elrur is a master at getting what he wants. Ally to no one really, he will use anyone to gain what he desires.






Devlin Darkthorn
Once a Silver Elf, he was the first of Elrur’s “experiments” to create an intelligent, obedient killing machine. Now deemed a Silver Fang , Devlin’s skin has a sickly palor to it, his hair is a dull black, his eyes grey, and to remain on his feet, he must drink blood.


Caterina Darkthorn
Caterina is Devlin’s mate. The second of Elrur’s twisted Silver Fangs. While obedient to her king, Caterina has blonde hair that falls mid back and eyes a deep sapphire.
