Lost Ties: Some Forgotten, Some Left Behind

Summary:

Dak and Leyla don't remember much on their Biological parents. After all they were barely 2 year old when the shipwreck happened, they barely remember that day when their dragon mom, Skyra, saved them and brought them back to her nest. But they do remember the day they lost her to dragon hunters. And that's why the twins have vowed to protect all dragons they find. Now with their new team of dragon riders, they've protected Huttsgalor for almost 2 years now. But their past will soon come up to them in the most unlikely way.

This is my own Alternate Universe and there's different things to it. I'll explain it further. I love Rescue Riders and the few Works that I've seen fail to remember that Dak and Leyla can talk to the dragons and it could be a key part to their stories so I'm going to fix that.

Chapter 1: Prologue: Lore drop.

Summary:

Just a little lore for the book before the actual story.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Time line After Season Six of Rescue Riders

Alt timeline: Axel is actually himself instead of his uncle's minion. He ends up becoming friends with the Rescue Riders after he had helped Cutter when he landed in a thorn bush, and soon after found a baby dragon and got hurt trying to get it out of a cave. Though they were at first more frenemies Magnus hates it and tries to force Axel to pick between him or the twins, when he chooses the RR he gets kicked out of his uncle's house and ends up living at the roost. He becomes Cutter's main rider. Unlike his uncle, he's a great inventor and actually came up with good ideas for the roost and new gear and even weapons. He has a photographic memory and uses that a lot to his advantage.

Later on Gutsgalor's chieftess Ingrid comes to visit with her niece Eydís and she becomes friends with the RR. She especially has fun with Burple, as purple is her favorite color. After a few visits and helping them with missions, Eydís is allowed to stay in Huttsgalor as an ambassador. Burple obviously is her dragon partner. Like Hannahr, Eydís is a great blacksmith and often helps out at her shop. She also makes the maps and is great at needle work and can even make clothes. She's even made costumes for the Dragons.

Finngard, though still pretty young, often comes on minor missions and is partners with Aggro. He actually has a unnatural resistance to heat which means he's not as bothered when her skins burns up. He obviously still lives with his mom, but is almost always at the Roost in his free time.

 

Axel and Dak still have that rivalry/sibling -esque relationship. Finn sees all of them as older siblings and vise versa. Axel and Leyla actually get along fine with Axel being the only human that can listen through her long rants about Dragons. Eydís is like an older sister who coddles you a lot to Dak, but with Leyla she's more relaxed.

The same one but in color.

 

- Also Cutter is a hybrid Dragon, A mix of a Razorwing and Nadder that's the reason for his head. The reason he prefers to be called just a Razor whip is bc his dad (a Nadder) nearly killed his mom and caused them to get  separated. For that he hates him had has a resentment towards Nadders in general,.

Notes:

TBH I hated how they did Axel's character. He could have had so much potential to be a reformed ally. His little lackey/punching bag role for Magnus is just pitiful
