Title: The Racer Girl
Description: A story of a girl fulfilling her dream


DragonBooster500 - March 12, 2006 12:47 AM (GMT)
This is a story of a girl named Embyr Nova. Embyr or "Em" is a 16 year old girl with dreams of racing dragons like her father. However her father was sadly killed in an accident and her mother forbade her from racing so she would not suffer the same fate. What is Embyr to do? Read on and find out.

Chapter One

"NO! For the last time you will NOT Dragon Race!" Syrr yelled at her daughter for the millionth time that day. Things with her and Embyr had been rough ever since Byrnn had passed away. She had vowed to never let her daughter set foot on a Race Track let alone race on one. She did not want her daughter facing her husband's fate.

Despite all the attempts to change her daughter's interests and goals, they were for naught. Embyr's mind was set on Dragon Racing and nothing but. There was nothing she could do but keep avoiding the never-ending question "Can I Dragon Race?". It seemed that question would never stop.

Embyr Nova was a fiery girl with a "I can take on anything" type attitude. She had pale skin and hazel eyes. She also sported blazing red hair which was about shoulder length. She was 6'1 and very pretty. Her only goal in life was to be able to compete on the Dragon Racing tracks of the All City Circuit and show the world what she had.

Her dream was a bit dashed however by the fact that her mother had banned her from ever going to the Race Track. She hated mom for that. She made a secret vow to get on the Track no matter what it took. She was going to hold to that vow. Nothing was going to stop her from Racing!

Once Syrr had yelled "No!" Embyr decided to retaliate:

"Why can't I race? I won't die! Its not like I'm gonna drop dead in the starting gate!".

That set Syrr into a rage.

"How do you know? You could get injured in who knows how many ways! Think about what happened to dad! Think about that! You don't want to end up like him do you?" she yelled.

"I know about dad! I know that he would want me to race! You're just being a paranoid old scale!" Embyr yelled back.

"I am NOT paranoid! For that little comment you can go to your room" Syrr replied with a note of finality.

Embyr was fuming. She should race! She had the skills! The talent! The drive to win! She had it all and it was squandering because her dumb mother was so worried about her dying like dad.

She tromped off to her room in a huff. When her mom's back was turned she ran out the door to the Barn where her dragon Blayz was kept.

Blayz had once belonged to Embyr's father and when Embyr's father died, the dragon went to her. Mother had pad-locked his stall shut and refused to let Embyr take him out of the stall.

Embyr however had a trick. She knew how to pick a lock. She took a bobby pin out of her pocket and slipped it in the lock. She turned it a bit and it clicked open. She walked into the stall and greeted Blayze.

Blayze looks like this:

He was a beautiful quadruped dragon. His main draconium influence was red but there were certainly other colors in there. He nuzzled Embyr and sniffed her pockets for treats.

Embyr always had treats for her dragon and fed them to him. He ate them greedily.

Embyr stared at her dragon. She knew he was perfect for the Track. Oh if only he could race! He would be a winner for sure. He once was a winner and was a great racing dragon but since being padlocked into his stall, he had lost the will to race or win.

Embyr was going to change all that. She had a plan. At midnight she would sneak back to his stall and get him out. She would equip some gear on him and go to the one place she knew that would help her be a champ: Penn Stables.

She knew of Connor Penn and knew of his racing skills. She knew he would be willing to teach her to race and be able to train Blayze into his once proud racing shape. She knew her dreams of Racing would come to life. All it would take was a lot of luck and a dark night.

a/n: like this? This is a new story idea. I wanted to start something new!

Ah so this is the story you were talking about! I think its a fitting story for Blayze, and could be quite interesting. I'd love to read more! ;)

Chapter Two

*BEEP* *BEEP*. Embyr's alarm clock had been set to midnight. She woke up with a start but once she knew it was her clock she hit it and it turned off. She got out of bed and grabbed the pack she had prepared. Then she donned her robe to keep warm and silently snuck out of her room.

Embyr had to be careful going down the stairs because they were a tad creaky. She went down one step at a time. But when she hit the bottom stair it creaked. Loud. She stopped in her tracks and pressed herself against the wall. She waited a moment and then went to the back door. She quickly opened it and bolted outside. The brisk night air was chilly so she hugged her robe tight around her.

When she got to the Barn, she ran up to Blayze and opened his stall door. She had purposely left it unlocked.

Since she wanted to get out as quick as possible, she didn't bother putting on Blayze's old racing saddle. She decided to ride him bareback. She clambered on and situated herself just behind his shoulders. She then held on tight to his neck and urged him forward.

He started slow but then his pace built into a hearty gallop. Embyr loved the feeling of racing along on a galloping dragon! The wind blew her hair back and brushed her face. She smiled. This is what she lived for.

The night was dark and intimidating. As a little girl, Embyr had a slight fear of the dark but now she had conquered that fear....somewhat.

She felt alone in the dark, just her and Blayze galloping through the night. The chill still bit at them and a slight mist of rain was coming down.

As the pair galloped along to Penn Stables, Embyr took one last look at the place she had called home for so long. She would miss it dearly. She had left her mother a note on her bed telling her what she did. She chuckled as she saw her mother's clear reaction in her mind. That amused her.

When they reached Penn Stables, it was early morning and the sun had just began to rise. From a distance it seemed like the Stables were empty and that no-one was home. She dismounted from Blayze and walked closer to the stables. She didn't want to be bothersome so she waited until it seemed like everyone who could be there was awake.

It was about 9:00am when she approached the entrance to Penn Stables. She walked through the large gate into the compound and went to the building that resembled the residence of Connor Penn.

Penn Stables was luxorious in every way. The barn area was gigantic as was the house. A large blue steel track ran around the compound. She stared at it all for a moment in awe. Then she went up to the house and before knocking regained her composure, tidied her appearance as best she could and knocked. *knock* *knock*. She waited. Nobody came. *knock*. She knocked again. Then somebody came to the door. She didn't recognize this person. He was certainly NOT Connor Penn. This person had dark hair and eyes and looked 16. He opened the door and greeted Embyr.

"Uh...hi. Who are you?" he asked.

Embyr replied nervously. "My name is Embyr and I was wondering if I could speak to Connor Penn? Is he around?"

"Oh! Well Embyr...wait here and I'll go get him" the boy said. Embyr then remembered that Connor Penn had two sons: Artha and Lance Penn. The boy who had spoken to her must have been Artha Penn.

A minute later, Connor Penn appeared at the door. He smiled warmly and let her in the house.

"So" he spoke "Why do you want to speak with me? My son told me your name was Embyr correct?"

Embyr was slightly surprised by Connor's calm attitude but she replied:

"Yes...my name is Embyr. I wanted to talk to you because I was wondering if you are still taking students? I want to learn how to Race"

"Well you came to the right person Embyr. I would be glad to teach you how to Race. However I will need your parent's consent first" Connor said.

Embyr was delighted at the prospect of Connor teaching her but she knew her mother would never agree. She had to bypass the consent somehow. She explained her story to Connor. He listened through it all and sighed when she finished up.

"My...my.....Byrrn was your father? Byrrn Nova? I knew Byrrn very well. A good racer he was...I'm sorry to hear of his passing....I'm not surprised you're treading in his footsteps. I also met your mother. Poor woman....she must've taken his death very hard" Connor said.

At these words Embyr was stunned. "Woah, woah, woah....back up. You knew my father....and mother? How?" she said.

"I knew your father because he was one of my best friends....we raced together all the time. I know your mother because Byrrn introduced me to her while they were dating during their Academy years. I am surprised your mother forbade you from racing. I think I can persuade her to change that soon enough". Connor spoke with a smile.

"So you'll teach me? Will you?" Embyr said.

"Yes Embyr my friend....I will teach you. I'l teach you all you need to know to be the best Racer on the Track. You'll make your father proud" Connor replied.

Embyr was beyond happy. She could finally learn to Race! Her dream was slowly coming to life.

ATTENTION! CHAPTER THREE HAS ARRIVED!

Chapter Three

"She's doing WHAT!?" Syrr Nova yelled at Connor Penn via Comm-Link.

"Your daughter is learning how to Dragon Race with me and if you just let her Race she will make you very proud....and if I may say so, very wealthy" Connor responded kindly.

"I don't care about wealth or glory or any of that! I just don't want my baby receiving the same fate her father got....I don't want her to get hurt! Send her home NOW!" Syrr spoke firmly and with finality in her voice.

"Hear me out Syrr....your daughter has told me your story and I am sorry for your loss, I really am....but I think it would be best for you to simply get over the past and be proud of your daughter's future! Its clear that she would be an amazing Racer if you would just let her be one!" Connor now spoke with a bit more annoyance in his voice.

He never thought that Syrr would be this way....ever. Connor had known Syrr as a tough, headstrong racer chick with an attitude to match....now she was slightly paranoid and had thrown away Racing....this was not the Syrr he knew.

"Connor, I know that she wants to Race, and I know she wants to live her dreams but I just think its too dangerous for her....she's so young....and so easily hurt!" Syrr spoke and was now crying a bit.

"Syrr, its okay....its okay.....I understand your worry! I have two sons of my own....I worry about them all the time but I know that they are responsible enough and know enough to stay safe on and off the Track....Embyrr will be okay with me...you don't have to worry" Connor comforted Syrr a little bit.

"I know she's responsible and I know that she's able to stay safe but I just don't know if I want her to get into the Circuit so soon....there are so many Racers out on the Track that are stronger and tougher than her....they could seriously injure or even cripple her and I don't want that to happen to her!" Syrr spoke nervously.

"Embyr will be just fine.....she seems like a strong girl and I think she can take care of herself...after all she is a 16 year old and a young woman....I think its time for you to back off and let her make her own decisions now....what do you think?" Connor asked her.

"What I think is that Embyr may be 16 and she may be a young woman but I'm still her mother and while she is under my roof she does NOT Dragon Race. But since she is sixteen I'll let her make a choice: Either she comes home and STAYS home or she can consider herself kicked out of the house because I don't want to raise a daughter who defies her own mother and runs away from her own home just because her mother cares enough about her to want to keep her safe from harm" Syrr spoke with a note of finality and terminated the Link.

Connor sighed and turned off his Link. Syrr has changed so much since I knew her at Academy....she just isn't the racer girl I once knew...he thought.

"So....what did my mom say Connor? Did she change her mind?" Embyr asked him excitedly.

"No. She is still firm on forbidding you to Race but she gave you a choice: Either go home and stay home or consider yourself kicked out of the house. I'll just say that if that woman was my mother I would actually want to be kicked out of the house" Connor said with a chuckle.

"Great....just scale-scraping great! Well, I choose to be kicked out of the house! Anywhere is better than living with her!" Embyr said defiently.

"Alright then. Since you decided not to go home, you are officially out of the house. You still do need a place to stay so....you can stay with me and the boys! What do you say Embyr? Want to be a part of Penn Stables?" Connor said warmly.

"Are you KIDDING!? I would LOVE to be a member of Penn Stables! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Embyr was jumping for joy...literally. She hopped up and down, whooping and hollering with glee.

"I take your sudden happiness as a solid yes" Connor said. He had never seen such a happy child. He knew that he would have a lot of fun teaching her.

I just read this story for the first time.. :o Ummm....WOW :rolleyes: Very Drac story! Please continue :)

DragonBooster500 - April 4, 2006 07:18 PM (GMT)
Okay people, as promised.....CHAPTER 4!

Chapter Four

Embyr's first day at Penn Stables was about to begin. She was rather rudely awaken by Lance who was bouncing on her bed and yelling

"EMBYR! GET UP! GET UP! GET UP!"

She groaned with annoyance and yelled back
"I could....if you got your dragon-sized carcass OFF OF ME!"

"Okay!" Lance responded with a laugh. He quickly got off her bed and left the room.

Connor had allowed Embyr to stay in the guest room of the Penn residence. The room was actually rather nice but the downside was having Lance's room next door. Lance often snored at night which made sleep a tad difficult to aquire.

She rose out of bed and hurridly freshened up. She combed her hair, brushed her teeth and finally changed into her usual racing outfit. She then made her way downstairs to the kitchen table where Artha and Lance were already eating breakfast.

"Well look who just got up!" Artha exclaimed.

"Morning Artha" she mumbled.

"Same to you" Artha replied.

"So....what are we doing today?" Embyr asked. She looked expectantly at Artha waiting for his answer. Embyr secretly had a HUGE crush on him....after all he was pretty cute.

"Today Embyr, we are Racing! That is....Lance and I are....but you are staying here with Dad so he can teach you" Artha said.

"Sounds cool" Embyr said.

"Oh it will be! Connor is a great teacher! He taught Lance and I everything we know! You'll have a drac time with him!" Artha replied.

At that moment Connor entered the room. He was holding two boxes in his hands. One was big and the other was slightly smaller.

"What are those?" Artha asked.

"Are they presents for us?" Lance asked.

"Well they are presents but not for you two...these are for Embyr" Connor replied. "Go ahead and take a look" he turned to Embyr and smiled.

Embyr was a bit hesitant but she then grabbed one box and carefully opened it. She gasped. In the box was a brand new racing suit, helmet and a wrist-band which doubled as a Com-Link.

"Oh wow! Its amazing!" She trailed off and simply stared at the items in awe.

"Go ahead and open the other one! You'll need it for today" Connor said with a smile.

Embyr was now excited. She quickly grabbed the other box and opened it too. In this one was something Embyr had never seen. It looked sort of like a can. She picked it up and looked at it.

"Um...what is this?" she asked.

"That my friend is a Mag-Staff" Connor replied "Just push that button on the side and you'll see"

Embyr did just that. She pressed the button and the can expanded into a large staff which was about half her height. It was red all over with orange ends and grip. She twirled the staff around a bit.

"Drac!" she exclaimed. "Thank you so much Connor!"

"You are welcome" Connor replied.

"Wow! Drac stuff Embyr!" Lance exclaimed.

"Yeah! Drac stuff! Go try on your new suit!" Artha said.

"okay! see you in a moment" Embyr said. She ran back to her room to quickly change. She came back downstairs and the boys marveled at her outfit.

"Drac!" They both spoke simultaneously.

Embyr's brand new suit was pretty cool. It was like her Staff, red all over but the orange markings upon it were made to resemble Blayze's. She loved it.

"I think I'm ready to Race now huh?" She asked the boys.

"Definetly!" Lance said.

"Same here!" Artha said.

After breakfast, Embyr followed Connor outside to the Stable. He introduced her to the Dragons there:

"The large green bull-class one is Cyrano, the red magma-class one is Wyldfyr, the small blue draconium dragon is Frachshun, and the Red and Blue one here is Beau".

"They're all drac!" Embyr spoke.

The dragons smiled and showed off their big, white teeth.

They finally got to Blayze's stall and Embyr got him out. Connor then had one more gift to bestow on her.

"You can have this. Its my old Racing Saddle. I think it would fit Blayze perfectly"

"Thank you!" Embyr exclaimed. She put the saddle on Blayze and then got on him. Connor also showed her the room where he stored his extensive Gear collection.

Embyr could feel her jaw drop. She had never seen so much gear in one place! She gazed at it in wonder.

"Take whichever pieces you like and mag them to Blayze" Connor said.

Embyr was unsure what to pick at first but she then decided on Level 5 Red Thruster, Level 5 Aero Gear, Level 6 Green Ramming, and Level 4 Blue Balance.

"Good choices Embyr. Now that your dragon is equipped i think its time that you learn how to Race" Connor said.

Embyr was elated. She was finally going to Race! After all these years of dreaming her dreams were finally turning to reality!

Okay everybody......Chapter FIVE!

Chapter Five

Embyr was starting to get the hang of Dragon Racing. At the moment she was diong some laps on the Practice Track. The Penn Stables Practice Track was a simple oval racetrack of blue steel. There were a few simple obstacles on it but otherwise it wasn't much.

Connor was watching Embyr go around the track. He also kept his eye on the digital timer in his hand. At the moment the small plasma screen read 1:51:02. That was Embyr's current time. That was also a good time considering that Embyr had just begun learning to Race. Connor hoped that she would beat that time today.

Embyr was aware of Connor's presence but she had to keep her eyes on the Track. She also needed to keep an eye on Blayze's energy. At the moment it was dropping. She pulled back slightly on the draconium controller. Blayze slowed down somewhat but was still maintaining a decent speed.

"Good energy conservation!" Connor commented. He normally kept silent while watching a racer but he felt like commenting this time.

He watched as Embyr and Blayze shot across the finish line.

"My time?" Embyr asked.

"2:05:10...not too bad Embyr....but you'll need to be quicker when you're in a true race. If you go too slow you'll be overtaken and if you go too fast you'll burn out and end up last" Connor said.

"Scales" Embyr muttered to herself. "Gotta be quicker next time huh boy?" She smiled at her dragon. Blayze looked up at her and flashed a toothy grin. Embyr laughed. Her dragon could be so funny sometimes.

"Okay you two....one more time around the track!" Connor said.

"You got it!" Embyr replied happily. She led Blayze back to the starting gate and when the maglock turned green he shot out of the gate like a bullet.

"Whoa!! What are you doing boy?" Embyr yelled with surprise. She never thought that he could run this fast.

Blayze held his speed right through to the final stretch. His scales were steaming as Embyr led him off the track to cool down.

"Now that was impressive! You and Blayze were simply brilliant!" Connor complemented his pupil with glee. Embyr blushed slightly. Connor didn't usually give that sort of compliment.

He then spoke some more "I have heard that there is a Race on the All City Track next monday. Its a fairly simple race and its basically a bunch of beginners like you. Since you have shown great promise with your training, I thought it would be nice to enter you in the race....if you would like to participate of course"

"Are you kidding!?" Embyr replied with amazement "I would LOVE to!"

"I thought you would Embyr....I'll put your name in right away" Connor said. He went back to the house to do just that.

Embyr was filled with glee and happiness. She was finally going to race! She was also a tad nervous as well. This was her first race after all.

She went back to the house after locking Blayze into his stall. He nuzzled her a bit and then proceeded to munch on his DragonChow.

Artha and Lance had already heard the news. Embyr was going to Race!

"I can't believe you are going to race! That's just drac!" Artha said.

"Yeah!" Lance replied "What he said!"

"Are you in the race Artha?" Embyr asked. She knew she'd probably be more comfortable knowing that someone she knew was on the track with her.

"Well....no. Sorry. I'm not in the Race but my friend Kitt Wonn is! You'll meet Kitt at the Race. She's nice.....usually" Artha said.

This upset Embyr slightly. She had hoped that somebody she knew would be racing but her hopes were dashed.

"Is anybody else in the race that you know?" Embyr asked.

"Well...I know that Moordryd Paynn might be....otherwise I have no idea" Artha said.

"Wait....back up a sec....Moordryd Paynn!? He's the most ruthless racer in the Circuit! He'll make DragonChow outta me!" Embyr said shocked.

"Don't worry Em. You'll be just fine. Kitt will take good care of you in the Race. She'll keep Moordyd at bay. Moordryd's just a lousy idiot anyway..." Artha said.

"I feel so much better now" Embyr said sarcastically.

"Good" Artha said. He checked his watch. "Woah! Its late! Better turn in!" he said. He yawned and went off to his room.

"I guess I'll go to bed to" Lance said. He too yawned and went to his room.

Embyr stayed up a bit. She was still nervous about the upcoming Race. She did have at least a week to prepare herself and Blayze. She however was elated at the prospect of being in a true Race!


DragonBooster500 - August 25, 2006 12:23 AM (GMT)
Okay everyone....Chapter Six!

Chapter Six

It was finally morning. Embyr knew she only had this one week to prepare for her first real race. She got up and went downstairs where the boys were already munching on their breakfasts.

"Hey guys" she said.

"Hey" They both replied.

Embyr grabbed some cereal, sat at the table and proceeded to eat with gusto. She was very hungry this morning.

Artha was the first to finish his breakfast and he went off to the Stable to greet his dragon. Lance finished and did the same. Now Embyr was left alone with only her cereal for company....that is she was alone until Connor walked in.

Connor had a smile on his face and it seemed like he had a good night's sleep.

"Hey Connor" Embyr said.

"Good morning Em...ready to practice today?" Connor replied.

"Yes I am!" Embyr replied with confidence.

"I thought you'd say that...well, why don't you grab your dragon and meet me on the practice track in....let's say....20 minutes?" Connor said.

"Okay" Embyr said. She rushed to the Stable as fast as she could. Once she got there she saw Blayze looking at her with a grin.

"Hey boy....ready to practice?" Embyr said. Blayze just grunted back at her. She just laughed and shook her head. She led Blayze out of the stall and put on his saddle. Then she picked out her fave gear combo: Lv. 5 Red Thruster, Lv. 5 Aero, Lv. 5 Green Ramming, and Lv. 5 Blue Balance. Then she finally mounted her dragon and proceeded to the track.

She waited a while and put Blayze through his paces. First walking, then trotting, then canter, then a full on gallop. After all that her dragon hadn't even broken a sweat. She looked and saw Connor walking over.

Connor greeted her warmly and made his way to the large blue track. He watched as Blayze skidded to a stop after going around the track at different speeds.

"Good job Embyr...you're dragon looks ready to go" he said.

Embyr smiled and patted her dragon on the neck. " He sure is...and so am I!"

"Well then...let's go!" Connor said. He went over to a large control panel near the track and pressed a button. All of a sudden jumps appeared in varying heights from short to tall.

"Okay Embyr...first, let's see how well Blayze can jump...you'll have to maintain a good level of control on him so he can perform each jump correctly without falling and hurting himself but you also have to let Blayze do his job too." Connor said.

Embyr listened intently and then began the course. She guided Blayze to the first jump and rose off his back slightly to allow him some mobility. Then she sped him up and he cleared it with no problems.

"Excellent Embyr! Keep it up!" Connor yelled to her.

Embyr didn't acknowledge Connor, she kept her concentration on the track. She then spotted the next jump which was considerably higher than this one...she manuevered Blayze and he jumped but instead of clearing it...his back feet clipped it and he lost momentum, tumbling into a heap on the track.

"Woahhh!" Embyr exclaimed in fright. As Blayze tumbled she held on for dear life but then she was forced to jump off at the last second to avoid any injury.

Connor rushed over to her. "Are you alright Embyr?" he yelled. He got over to her and her dragon. He inspected Embyr first. She didn't appear to have any major injuries aside from a few bruises and scrapes.

"I...I'm okay Connor" Embyr stammered. She could feel a dragon-sized lump on her head which throbbed with pain and her whole body just felt miserable. She then forgot about her pain when she saw her beautiful dragon lying in a heap on the ground groaning.

"Is he okay Connor?" she said in alarm.

"I don't know Embyr...I really don't know....he seems alright on the outside but I'm worried about internal damage...he could have a fracture or something along that line" Connor said.

"Oh...I hope he'll be okay" Embyr said. She felt tears welling up in her eyes but forced them to stay back.

A few minutes later Artha and Lance rushed out. They had been watching the scene from the kitchen window and were worried about Embyr and her dragon. Embyr sighed with relief when she saw Artha. She rushed up to him and grabbed him in a rough embrace, tears now streaming unchecked from her eyes.

Artha was slightly taken aback by this but he returned the embrace and proceeded to try and comfort Em...even though comforting people was not his best skill.

"Em...Blayze will be fine...he's a tough dragon..." he said.

"So?" Embyr said "He could still die....or be crippled...without him I can't race!"

"Of course you can race Embyr! Just use another dragon...I'll let you use Beau!" Artha said.

"Yeah right!" Embyr exclaimed. "I know the legends and I know that Beau won't let anyone but his chosen DragonBooster ride him"

"You have a point there....what about Wyldfyr? Or Frachsun? Or Cyrano?" Artha said.

"Wyldfyr...too fast....Fracshun...too tiny....Cyrano....too slow" Embyr said. By now she had stopped crying and had let go of Artha.

"Well...unless Blayze gets better you won't be able to participate in the Race Em." Artha said.

"I guess I'll just have to wait and hope for a dragon-sized miracle...how is he Connor?" Embyr turned to her dragon and Connor. Connor had a worried look on his face.

"I felt him all over and he seems okay...but his right hind leg concerns me...I think it may be fractured but without proper x-rays I can't be sure" Connor said.

"I'll take him to his stall dad...I think there's a X-Ray screen in the barn near it" Artha said.

"Alright Artha...but be careful with him...I don't want to have anymore damage done to him...or his leg". Connor said.

Artha carefully helped Blayze to rise on all fours and slowly led him to the stable. He was favoring his right hind leg.

Embyr was very worried now...would her dragon be able to race? Or would her dreams be dashed for good?
