 The Final General They soon were able to come to another set of stairs. They all walked up to another set of double doors. They walked on and the doors opened to where Basilisk was. They all looked back for a moment then looked on. They let out a deep breath. Now was the time to take out the last general. Once this one was taken out then it would be the last dragon. This would mean that all the people of this world would be free from the fear and terror of the dragons and would be able to sleep safe and sound, knowing that the morning will bring a new world and a new way of life. Some men could feel excitement run throughout them. Some wondered what they would do after this and with their new found freedom. Some dreamed of marrying that woman they wanted. Others, finally confessing their love to her. Others just wanted to see their wives and enjoy her comfort by a cozy and warm fire and rest in her arms. Wrapped by her love and kindness. With a tender intimacy that only married co...

 Oroch Once they had eaten and rested and attended to the wounded. Those that could moved on. They came to a set of stone stairs leading up. Seeing that there was no other way, they all walked up the stairs with their guards up. They all kept their eyes trained upon the darkness ahead. They soon came to a group of stones and they had to move them out of the way which made the staircase lighter. Then they walked on and saw more and moved them out of the way, yet all of them were able to keep their guards up.  Loc, in particular, kept her guard up the most as she did not want to be eaten again. She also noticed that she smelt. Yet she pushed past the scent and made sure she went on and on and on. Soon they came to a set of double doors with the same lion on them. The moment that they arrived at the set, they opened. They all looked at each other and then looked ahead of them. Ahead of them was a sleeping hydra the size of a five floored mansion with thirteen heads! The moment th...

 Kuromaru It was in the morning two days after the final army’s fall when they arrived at a set of double doors. Both doors had twin tailed lions standing rampant. Lions, that Loc could swear, could see her and cheering her on, along with the army. She could almost feel their pride at how far she had come over the past year, since she came to this world. It was like their courage was oozing out and entering each and every one of them. Upon coming to the front of the doors, they opened. She walked in and spotted the glowing green water running parallel to each other at the sides of the cave-like structure. This illuminated the whole tunnel with a good but dim light. They kept their eyes trained on the centre where it was the most dark. They all stayed there a while out of caution. Upon seeing that there was nothing coming out the heads and Loc looked at each other. “So, do we walk in?” “As it is obvious that Kuromaru isn’t coming out, it seems that we don’t have a choice.” “What’s t...

 The Fall Of The Final Army It was night when they arrived. Loc looked around. She looked back for a moment then at the eagles. She knew what to do. So she, along with every head of the armies, looked around and circled the entire camp and noticed all of them and she counted all of them. Good. “So, your plan?” “Strike from the air. Take out as many wings as we can. Then get the ones on the ground to take care of them.” “Isn’t that all that we’ve been doing woman?” “Brother!” “Yes, but this time there are no nasty surprises.” He nodded. So they all went back and the eagle riders mounted upon their eagles. They almost flung themselves into the air. Then they looked down at the camp. Both rider and eagle loaded their arrows and fired at the wings. This took out fifty wings. Immediately after both went onto taking out fifty more and another and another and another.  Yet the remaining fifty woke up and looked up and shot to the air. Yet as they spread their wings and flapped them ...

 The Final Fourth Division  They all arrived at the camp of the fourth division at half three. Yet it felt like it was later, mainly due to the sun going down quicker. This made Loc secretly hope to get this over and done with within a week. After all, she knew that it would not be good to fight Pendragon or be risking fighting him in the winter. Especially with these men. She looked down to see that the giant wyverns were all going to and fro. All seemed more vigilant than the last. She could tell that they were getting ready for a fight. This caused hoe to travel to the left and then further on down wind. That was when they saw a group in front of them. “The wings.” She spoke before they released a wave of fire. They all dived behind her. She stopped the flames. Then pushed them up. The men all charged on and some men hopped onto the backs of the eagles. Then they fired at the wings of the giant wyverns. Then the giant wyverns at the back started to fly up and they followed,...

 The Final Third Division  They all had been marching for two hours, only taking a break for a quick lunch. Kai made sure to walk by Loc. “How are you not harmed?” He demanded. “I saw you fall and get hit several times and there is not a scratch on you.” “I’m immortal.” “Oh?” She let out a sigh. “This was not my choice. I was forced to become this way.” He looked to the side with a curled lip. “How?” “I was captured when I was no older than seventeen by a cult called the Sunburners. Mainly as a tool to be used against my sisters. Yet they had to make me immortal in order to make sure I survived giving birth to a star.” “A what!?” “Actually I vomited it up.” “Oh.” His eyes narrowed. “Are all of the stars of your world made that way?” “No.” He nodded as his lip curled more. “And is that your secret?” “No…I don’t think so…” She looked down as they walked on and on in silence for a moment. “And what is it like?” She winced. “Painful. Yet when I start to itch…” His eyes widened as ...

 The Final Second Division  It was at ten when they arrived at the camp of the next division of the giant wyverns. She looked around and could count that there were four hundred. “So, how many are there?” “Four hundred.” “Your plan?” “Attack right now, meanwhile I will be stopping as much of the fire as I can.” Kai nodded. “Don’t be such a girl.” “Brother!” “Actually, there are only four hundred and about twenty thousand of us. It’s almost barely fair!” “Oh.” “Now let’s go.” Soon they all drew their blades and arrows. The eagles and their riders were in the air. Then they all shot down as silently as they could with the group on the ground sliced their necks. They did this again and again and again. Soon the four hundred were dead. “Well, that was swift.” “I know! That was easy.” “Yes. Far too easy.” One of the men opened their mouth, but before he could say anything, that was when they saw a blast of fire landed on the left. They all looked at it for a moment and then at the ...

 Strike Of The Final Army It was early in the morning and the sun had not yet risen. Loc knew that this was the best time to arrive and take the first division out. She, along with all the men and eagles, were tired of waiting for all the armies to arrive and knew that it was time to take the battle to them. She looked down to see the giant wyverns the size of houses. Then she looked back. “What’s your suggestion?” “Why ask her?” “Brother.” “Sh! They will hear.” “Oh, right. Thank you!” “Don’t thank her, you should have known better!” “Well we go from the to go from the to the top and at all sides. We will have to take out as many as we can while they sleep. Yet the moment that they wake up is when we need to worry.” “The rest nodded.” “Coward!” “Strategic. Also, we need to pay attention as much as we can.” “Right.” “Is this-” “Not the time. So all of you, tell the others and the first thing to do it take them out before they even come round or wake up.” “Right.” “I still don’t like...

 The Gathering Men Loc had a long and heavy sleep, right up until late morning. She could feel like her body was like it had been covered in water. She could see that everyone in the camp had found more dead to bury. Then she could smell that they were cooking and she could hear them laughing.  She could not help but feel a smile rest upon her lips. She was glad that they were all getting along. Yet she could not help but feel a shadow of dread pass over her. She could sense that all of this is nothing more than a calm before the storm. She could even swear that the clouds had become grey and thicker.  Her eyes rested upon a group that were dancing. Her eyes looked down, wondering how many would be left once Pendragon was dead. Yet she knew that she could not allow herself to become close to any of them. But she knew that after all of this, she should try to get to know at least some of them. When she could feel that her body was ready, she moved around. “How are you Comm...
