Dragon Bearers

Page 1 Panel 1 Everyone is watching TV, as it's tuned into a broadcast. A girl appears on the TV talking to world leaders. The girl has long black hair with purple highlights in her hair. She has a tattoo on her face, and both her forearms are just like her husband does. She is wearing beautiful purple earrings. She stands 5'6" with beautiful purple eyes. Panel 2 Mayuki Rodriguez: Attention all world leaders, hello my name is Queen Mayuki Rodriguez of the United States of America. Me and my husband, King Jayden Rodriguez, would like to propose a compromise. Our world cannot take another catastrophe that we created. Panel 3 Mayuki Rodriguez: So, we want to invite everyone to a council. A place where all of the world leaders can go to fix all of our problems or try our best to get along. I have brought this to the attention of Queen Nailah of the original Egypt region. She agreed and said she could host it if you care to join. You will all be invited, and the location sent to your phones. I hope to see all of you there. Thank you for your time. Panel 4 Mayuki Rodriguez: (Narration) Well, as you can guess, my name is Mayuki. I should start by explaining the world situation to you. Where to start, we are now way in the future to be exact 6745 is our year. A lot has happened, but this isn't exactly how you would expect the world to look like. You see around 2040 the world fell apart pretty hard. Page 2 Panel 1 Mayuki Rodriguez: (Narration) With the world falling into nuclear war, one missile gets fired and that gives the okay for every friend, ally, and foe to fire missiles wherever...whenever. Leaving the world in, well... a pretty shitty state to put it nicely. The world was a wasteland of radiation. All the places you knew are gone. All the creatures you know.... gone. All the people you know....gone. Panel 2 Mayuki Rodriguez: (Narration) Our whole world fell apart in a matter of days. Non-stop bombing, no negotiations, no peace, just war. The world hasn't exactly "Recovered" from the destruction. Even the buildings we live in now, at least we live in a castle surrounded by modernish buildings. At least they're not straw huts or caveman rocks. Panel 3 Mayuki Rodriguez: (Narration) The radiation was all that walked the earth for a long time with a handful of survivors here and there. The radiation was so strong that it started to mutate people in a lot of different ways. Some grew limbs, others powers, and changed some plants into monsters. Never thought I would hate some species of roses, so I told my husband that tulips will do. Now things in fairy tales aren't so fake anymore. Orcs, fairies, elves, dwarfs, all things that we can find in our world. Page 3 Panel 1 Mayuki Rodriguez: (Narration) One of the most precious creatures to come from this catastrophic event was dragons and, like in most fairy tales, dragons are not liked. Even though they're harmless, well to us at least. They mainly try not to fight, but as stupid humans always do, they hunt them down. They try to kill things that they fear and don't understand. That story is for another time. Panel 2 Mayuki Rodriguez: (Narration) But that's where me and my husband come in, we are Dragon Bearers, a race that looks human but are able to communicate, host, and even summon dragons. No other countries know of this power except ours and we made sure they couldn't tell others about it. For now, the world is not ready to love and live side by side with dragons that comes with time. Oh, I guess you also want to know why I look so young as a queen, well you're too nosey. Page 4 Panel 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 Mayuki walks into her room where her husband sits. The room is huge and has beautiful, baby blue walls. To the right is a table where Jayden and Mayuki do most of their work. The table is near four large windows. Right as you enter the room you can see the beautiful large bed. To the left there is a large table with a mirror where Mayuki does her makeup and to the left of that is a balcony that looks to the outside. There is also a large object that is covered by a white sheet. All the way to the left of the room is a big door that leads to their bathroom. Mayuki Rodriguez: Hello my love! Mayuki says happily to her husband. Jayden looks at her as he leans back in his work chair. Jayden Rodriguez has black hair with red highlights. Jayden has one tattoo on his face, one on his left forearm, and one on his right forearm, just like Mayuki. Jayden stands 5 '10 in height and 170 pounds. Jayden Rodriguez: Hey babe, you seem pretty happy. Panels 6 & 7 Mayuki walks over and sits on his lap. Mayuki Rodriguez: Well, I'm kind of excited. I just sent the broadcast out. Do you think they will show up? Jayden smiles at her and speaks. Jayden Rodriguez: I'm sure some will, you know others can be stubborn. I'm sure Russia's new girl, Queen Inessa, will not show. I heard she thinks she's the best. Page 5 Panel 1 Mayuki Rodriguez: It's okay she never met me, I'm sure she will re-consider that. Mayuki said with a smirk on her face. Panels 2 & 3 The day of the council arrives. Mayuki Rodriguez: Baby, do I look okay? Mayuki asks with a worried face. Jayden Rodriguez: Baby you look perfect, you're just missing that necklace called my arm. Panel 4 Mayuki smiles Mayuki Rodriguez: Well, come here, stranger. I got some sugar for you. Panel 5 & 6 They laugh and hurry to the carriage that awaits them. Panel 7 & 8 They arrive at the place and see tons of carriages and vehicles carrying different world leaders. Page 6 Panel 1 & 2 & 3 They walk out of the carriage and casually walk into the council area. The place is massive. Walking into the front gates, you can see the white walls and pillars that hold up the roof. The floor is a gorgeous marble of gray and white with a calming feel to it. You walk about twenty steps and you're now at the top of the stairs looking down at what looks like a stage. There are tons of tables with couches behind them to sit at. There are three rows of tables, each table with a couch. Every time you walk down about five steps, there is another row with tables and couches. In the middle, what looks like a stage can be seen as all the tables are pointed at it. Behind the stage up high is a balcony with two chairs. They look like royal chairs. In front of the chairs is a beautiful wooden table with gold fixtures on it. Panel 4 They take a seat and watch as other world leaders do the same. Mayuki Rodriguez: Damn did we really invite the Droxs area? Oh, geez, I didn't think they would really show up, especially with what they did to our island and other countries. (Droxs is old Port-au-Prince Drox's leader Ruckus, has three allies and those four places make up the old country Haiti.) Panel 5 Jayden Rodriguez: Maybe they will stay quiet, like really quiet, right? Mayuki looks at him with a straight face. Page 7 Half Page Everyone sits as Nailah and her husband Asim take their seats at the top of the balcony. Nailah stands up with her beautiful long black hair swaying back and forth. Nailah's skin is almost as brown as Jayden's, but his skin is a little lighter than Nailah's. Nailah has a tattoo on her right eye that flares off the end of her eye and it looks like an Egyptian eye. Nailah also has two large gold bracelets on her arms, one bracelet for each arm. Asim is an average-built man with short brown hair, skin the same as Nailah with a tattoo on his chest showing through his open buttoned shirt. Nailah walks up to the railing as the railing reaches her stomach and Nailah begins to say. Half Page Nailah Abdo: Hello and thank you for accepting our invitation to the council. My husband and I will be hosting it to keep order here, but we are just as much kings and queens as you are. So, feel free to speak about matters that bother you. That is what this council is for, since this is the first day we can go around and introduce ourselves. Since the collapse we haven't really been formally introduced, especially with new leaders. Page 8 Panel 1 & 2 & 3 The world leaders begin to introduce themselves and then it gets to the United States. Mayuki Rodriguez: Hello, I am Queen Mayuki from the U.S. and this is my amazing husband, Jayden Rodriguez. I do hope we can find peace and allies with most countries. I realize that war is still here, but we want to prevent nuclear war and try to take care of our planet as much as possible. Mayuki smiles and then she gets interrupted by Sam. Sam has short black hair and brown eyes. He has tattoos up and down his right arm. Sam: Aren't you a little young to be a queen? Panel 4 Mayuki Rodriguez: Excuse me? Panel 5 Ruckus leans forwards, he's a light-skinned guy with blonde hair that matches his eyes. Ruckus also wears two earrings that are small diamonds. Ruckus: Sorry young girls like you are to be looked at and not spoken to. So why don't you hand the mic over to your dad over there? Page 9 Panel 1 Mayuki looks at him with a disgusted face. Mayuki Rodriguez: I am over 2000 years old. Also, aren't ugly people like you supposed to like shut up or something? Panel 2 Ruckus: Looks like your husband didn't teach you any manners. Panel 3 Mayuki Rodriguez: Yea? Why don't you come over here? I'll show you some manners real quick. She says while cracking her knuckles. Panel 4 & 5 Everyone in the council says "wooooo" as Nailah bangs a gavel. Nailah Abdo: Please people, we are trying to keep peace. Panel 6 & 7 Ruckus: I didn't come for peace, Nailah! I came because I was bored. I could care less about peace, our four areas are all we care about, but if I have to re-arrange little missy's face over there, I will. Ruckus responds with anger while pointing at Mayuki. Page 10 Panel 1 Jayden Rodriguez: I think you might want to reconsider what you say to my wife because your carriage might not be wheelchair accessorized. Ruckus: Watch what you say if you can't back it up. Panel 2 Jayden Rodriguez: That's why I'm still talking. Jayden says while smiling at Ruckus. Panel 3 Nailah slams the gavel while saying. Nailah Abdo: OKAY NEXT! Panel 4 It gets to Queen Alina of what was once Romania. Alina's hair is shorter than Nailah's but still has length to it. Alina's hair is a dark blue color and her eyes match her hair. Alina also has three rings on different fingers and wears pretty dark blue earrings that dangle from her ears. Uta is her husband. He is 5 '10 and weighs 190 pounds. Uta has decently long hair, but his hair doesn't go past his cheeks. His hair is dark blue also and he wears a blue necklace around his neck. Alina Stoica: Um madam Mayuki I don't....mean to be rude but...why do you look like...well so young at your age of over 2,000 if you don't mind me asking? Panel 5 & 6 Mayuki looks at Jayden as if to seek assurance from him. Jayden slightly tilts his head towards her, then Mayuki turns to Alina. Mayuki Rodriguez: Well to put it in simplest terms, as my husband and I got stronger, we learned more magic. We tried.....mixing things together. Let's just say it didn't go as planned and I am now stuck at the age of 19 but I am legal. Mayuki says with a big smile. Page 11 Panel 1 & 2 & 3 Alina Stoica: I have never seen such a young queen. Hopefully one day I can hear this story. Ah, what I wouldn't give to be 19 again? Alina smiled with her eyes closed, remembering when she was young. Alina opens her eyes and speaks. Alina Stoica: Thank you for answering my question, Queen Mayuki. You did not have to, but I appreciate the answer, also that dress is fabulous. Panel 4 Mayuki Rodriguez: Thank you so much my husband gave it to me during valentine's day hehe. Page 12 Panel 1 Time goes on until about halfway through the council meeting, Nailah says. Nailah Abdo: Okay everyone, we have reached the halfway point, so let's take a fifteen-minute break and we will resume right after that. Panel 2 & 3 & 4 People started getting up to use the bathroom. Mayuki turns to Jayden. Mayuki Rodriguez: I'll be back baby. I'm going to use the little girl's room. Mayuki smiles and stands up. Jayden Rodriguez: Ok I'll be here babe. Page 13 Panel 1 & 2 & 3 Mayuki walks to the bathroom and finishes up as she's walking back. Ruckus goes to touch her hips, but she spots him, and she slaps his hand away. Mayuki Rodriguez: Hey get away from me! Panel 4 & 5 Jayden stands up, recognizing his wife's voice and looks towards her. Jayden spots Ruckus. As everyone starts looking towards Ruckus. Jayden Rodriguez: Sweetie you, okay? Panel 6 & 7 Mayuki Rodriguez: This creep was trying to touch me. Ruckus: I'm just checking the merchandise, relax. Ruckus laughs as Mayuki runs towards Jayden. Page 14 Panel 1 & 2 Everyone goes back to their spot to sit down, as Jayden then says. Jayden Rodriguez: You know Ruckus I was thinking about this, seeing as you're not actually a country, you're more of a crime lord and last time we tried to negotiate with you, you responded by killing U.S. soldiers and innocent people on that island. Panel 3 & 4 Jayden Rodriguez: We never got to pay you back for that and the American citizens want Justice for that...there were a lot of families on that island. So, with that being said, I find you to be a problem. Me and my wife have decided to give you three days, I really do hope you enjoy yourself till then. Page 15 Panel 1 Ruckus: Three days? Ruckus says with a puzzled look on his face. Panel 2 Jayden Rodriguez: I'm sorry, did I stutter? Three days. Ruckus: What happens in 3 days? Panel 3 Jayden Rodriguez: Me and my wife are going to repay you the way America does when you attack our country and citizens. We Decided in three days we will dispose of you. Since you don't want to negotiate. Panel 4 Some people start laughing and saying. "Yea dispose of them ha-ha, that's funny" "Haha that's a good one." Panel 5 & 6 Ruckus: Yea good luck with that, actually you have my blessing to attack because then I'll take your pathetic country after that ha-ha. You have all tried to kill me already and failed, plus I was going to attack you anyway. Ruckus said while smiling and laughing, knowing that attacking him was a dangerous feat to all who have attacked him before. Page 16 Panel 1 Sam: Maybe you should rethink your choice and don't worry about the soldiers we killed. They are replaceable anyway. Panel 2 Mayuki and Jayden have an angered look on their faces as they sit down. Panel 3 Nailah Abdo: Mayuki, I will not stop you if this is the path that your country is taking. I had a feeling this would happen after the g******e on that island.... But please do not hurt the innocent citizens on those islands you attack. Panel 4 Mayuki looks at Nailah and speaks. Mayuki Rodriguez: I do not kill the innocent Nailah, only the evil. Panel 5 Nailah Abdo: Then may you succeed where we couldn't, Queen Mayuki. Panel 6 After the last countries introduce themselves, the council day ends. Page 17 Panel 1 & 2 & 3 Back at home, Mayuki and Jayden are in their room as Mayuki stomps back and forth in anger as Jayden sits in the chair watching and listening to her. Mayuki Rodriguez: Urgh!!!! Can you believe them baby they laughed at us after he basically tried to grab me? And after what he did to our island. Ugh I'm so pissed! Panel 4 & 5 Jayden Rodriguez: I know baby, I'm sorry I didn't do anything, but we only get three days, so I'm sure we can wait till then. Mayuki Rodriguez: Look, I know we're trying to make allies, but we will do that after we take out the trash first. Page 18 Panel 1 & 2 & 3 Day two arrives as Mayuki and Jayden sit in their room laughing and talking. When they hear yelling outside. They go to the balcony and walk outside to see a group of people looking up at them. Panel 4 Mayuki Rodriguez: Oh, I see we have company, my love. Jayden Rodriguez: Yeah, we do, hello people, is there something we could help you with? Panel 5 A man spoke from the group. Man: Queen, we need your help at the beach in Florida, the wildlife, it's bad. Page 19 Panel 1 Jayden Rodriguez: That doesn't sound good. Maybe we should send someone there to check it out? Mayuki Rodriguez: Layla? Mayuki asks while raising her eyebrows. Panel 2 Jayden Rodriguez: That's who I was thinking of. Jayden says while looking at his wife. Panel 3 Man: Please king, we need you. The man says, desperate for a good answer Panel 4 & 5 & 6 They walked out of their room and down the hallway of their castle. That hallway leads to a large open area with stairs that lead down to the front door of the castle. If you were entering the castle front door, the first thing you would see would be the stairs about 30 feet in front of you that branch off one pair of stairs to the left and another to the right. Before reaching the stairs to the left, there is a living room area. To the right of the stairs there is another large room with a fireplace. Under the stairs leads to the dinner table and to the back of that is the kitchen. Mayuki and Jayden walk to the front of the castle that leads to a small-town area inside the castle grounds. They head towards the right that leads to one of the castle grounds's gates. Panel 7 They reach the beach which is right outside the castle gate. Page 20 Panel 1 & 2 & 3 Mayuki looks at Jayden as he starts casting a spell with his hands. Jayden Rodrigues: Adrian's Cube! A transparent cube starts to surround the whole state. Panel 4 & 5 The group of people start to get happy. Man: Oh they're going to call Princess Layla, she's coming to see us. They go out happily to watch Mayuki summon Layla. Page 21 Panel 1 Mayuki closes her eyes and holds up her left hand while the writing on her right arm starts to glow. Panel 2 The ground starts shaking as she opens her eyes and her eyes look like a dragon's eye. Mayuki Rodriguez: PRINCESS LAYLA I CALL ON YOU!!! Page 22 Full page A giant dragon comes out of the water. Her scale colors are blue and white. Water dripped from her beautiful scales as she looks down at Mayuki. Page 23 Panel 1 & 2 Layla: My Queen Mayuki, My King Jayden, it's a pleasure to see you both. Layla said while leaning down to bow to them. Mayuki does a curtsy and Jayden bows with his right hand horizontal to his chest. Panel 3 Mayuki Rodriguez: You know I wouldn't have to call you if you'd just stayed in my body. Mayuki says while she puts her hands on her hips. Layla: Yes your majesty, but the ocean needs help. That's why I'm here. Trust me, the life inside your body sounds much more pleasant than this. Panel 4 Layla looks at Jayden and lowers her head to show respect. Layla: My king. Panel 5 Jayden smiles and raises his hands to Layla. Jayden Rodriguez: Ahhh Layla so beautiful, as usual. Page 24 Panel 1 Layla: Oh prince charming are you? Jayden makes a big cheesy smile Panel 2 Jayden: Layla, we have an issue in Florida. This man says the wildlife might be in danger. Panel 3 Man: Your majesty Layla the fish, all of them dead, washed up on the beaches without them we won't have any food. The man said to Layla, making sure not to get too close to her. Panel 4 Jayden Rodriguez: Layla, please go check it out sweetheart, let me know what you find, but please stay low profile. The cube won't be there to hide you. Panel 5 Layla: but of course I'm always careful they haven't seen me yet. Layla said as her tail swished back and forth in the water. Page 25 Panel 1 & 2 & 3 The children come out and start laughing and waving at Layla. Layla: Hello little ones. Layla puts her hand on the floor and makes a tiny sculpture of herself on the floor for the children. The sculpture is made out of water and moves around. Panel 4 & 5 & 6 Layla: for you little ones. Layla dives under the water and goes off. The children run to the statue and touch it.
