The Nine Dragons The Feathered Dragon Part Seven

 The Quil Commanders 

Loc flew in the air in Ken Ken. She looked at the castle. She looked at each of the windows. They flew down and landed at the door. She knocked on the door.

“Do you have any money?”

She gave him a small sack of gold.

“Is this enough?”

“That ought to suffice.”

He nodded. Then she looked back and leaned in.

“Get back. Then get in and burn the conversion room. I don’t know if I or anyone can help you return to your true fines but you can stop people from ending up like you.” She admitted.

“Good. Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me yet. I haven’t taken down the dragon yet!” She admitted as they walked in.

She was greeted by a giant version of the Vulture army, the Crow army and the Raven army. They looked down at her with an oppressive predatorial glare.

“Tell me, who are you?”

“Loc.”

“Do you wish to be part of the army?”

“I will tell you if you tell me where I can find the dragon.”

“The sky floor.”

“Thank you and how strong is she?”

“Enough to rule this part of the planet. Apart from the rest. Especially Pendragon.”

She nodded.

“Could you close the door?”

They did.

“No.”

“What?”

“I don’t want to join your army.” She said, pulling out her sword and quickly cut the leg off the Raven.

He fell before the other two could do anything. She quickly ran up to the head and drove it up into the beak.

Then the Vulture dived it’s head down at her. She dived to the left and went to slash the neck but he moved away. Then the Crow drove it’s talons down. She was struck. She fell. She spun as the Vulture went to strike and slashed the Vulture before he could even strike. But the wound was far too shallow.

She then saw the head of the crow dive down. Then he opened his beak as he reached her. She slashed and cut off the tongue. Then she was hit on the side by the Vulture. She rolled and rolled and rolled away. She then felt herself slowing down. Only to be struck by the talons. She then thrust herself up as the Crow was about to bite her. She dived up as she was slashed back down by the Vulture. She spun and looked up as he plucked her and flicked up the leg. She stabbed the breast and he let her go. She was about to fall until the crow grabbed her by the other leg. She was about to strike the heart but he let her go before she could even reach the breast again. Then the Vulture dug his talons into her sword arm.

This made her drop her blade. She fell and was yanked by the left calf. She punched down and he clamped down on her leg harder, sending a shooting pain in her leg. She had to ignore this as she punched him in the eye again and again and again until he finally let go. She grabbed his feathers and pulled herself on to the back. She then drove the heel of her hand into the joint of the left wing and then the right and then the left and then the left again. She did this until the crack came and he crashed into the stone floor below.

She jumped off the Vulture but was caught by the crow. She twisted her body upwards and kicked him in the breast. She did this again and again and again. Then he let her go. She pulled herself up and caught some of the feathers and pulled them out. He then completely let her go this time. She pulled herself up and went onto punching the beak again and again and again until it smashed.

She thrust her hand in and pulled out his tongue. The then climbed up higher and was about to punch his eye before the Vulture pulled them down. 

She fell off and spun rapidly as she landed. She flicked her blade up and ran as fast as she could to Peble. She swung the heads coming down upon her. She dived in a zigzag before she reached it and picked it up. She then ran as the Vulture went to strike her she drove the blade into the head. She jumped up and dived to the Crow and slashed the neck before he could respond.

She then collapsed onto the floor and rested as her wounds healed up.
