The Nine Dragons The Life Dragon Part Eleven

 The First Division Attacks 

Loc and the men woke at an early hour. They knew that they would be spending the day fighting, yet she knew that there would be people that might die but she knew that she would have to find a way to make peace with that. Yet she knew that she never would be truly able to.

So they all collected all their things and she had barely set foot outside when she saw a line of boys and girls of all ages and even babies. All crying out. Yet the older ones were looking afraid. At this she quickly knew what was going on. This sparked anger beyond her control. Yet she forced herself to calm down. 

Yet she soon saw the four winged giant fake angels. She was starting to hate these beings masquerading as beings of good and light.

That was when she ran as fast as she could to the line and past them she pulled out Peble, yet she put it in her mouth. Yet she noticed that it was heavy on her jaws but it took all her strength to keep it steady. She then pulled out her Rock and Stone and looked at the others. So she put Peble away.

“Get those children out of here!”

The men nodded as they dived to the babies first and ran back. 

That was when one raced to them. She ran to him and hit him and hit the ankle as hard as she could, chopping it off. He looked back at her.

“I will clip your wings you fake angel!” she shouted. “And that goes for all of you!”

That was when they all looked at her.

“First born!” They all said. “You will know sorrow.”

She dived on and hit the wings. Then she ran and slammed it into the skull, smashing it.

“I already do.”

That was when they all dived to her. She put the blade back into her mouth. One reached her. She whacked his hand out of the way and dived on. Then drove the blades into the throat. Yet she felt a hand on her back and she was yanked into the air. Then she felt a hand on her wrists and she let go. She drove the blades back. She looked up to the left and drove her blade into the inner arm and he let go. She gripped the blade with all she had. Then pulled him in and slashed the neck. She then reached to the other side and thrust it into the wrist and slit it off.

She put away Stone and reached out her hand and pulled herself up and dived on top of his arm. She ran on and on yet he yanked her and she drew her blade up and bit into the arm before putting her legs into the hand and dived at his throat and slit it.

She looked down as she fell. She dived to the right and landed on the back of another. She ran on and dragged her blade into the back of the head. She looked up to see one just above her. She dived up and plunged her blade into one of his thighs. She flipped herself on top and pulled it out.

She saw two carrying children in their hands. She ran on and dug her blade into the throat and grabbed them both. Then she flicked her blade down chopping the head off the one beneath her before jumping down to see another as she placed the ones she had just rescued down. She ran on and jumped and drove her blade into where the nearest shoulder was. Only to slice the wing off and as he fell she put both the boy and girl onto their back as she jumped down on the ground. Then they got off.

“Find safety.” 

The group nodded and found a tree to hide under.

She looked back to see that there was a group of children high up in the air.

How do I get up there?

That was when she remembered a book she read about engines and how people were able to use fire to push things forward.

Wonder if I could do something like that?

She then put her weapons away and moved her hands down and pushed fire out from under them as powerfully as she could. Soon she was able to propel herself up into the air. She kept it up until she flew over the false angel but it was too high. Yet she had to get there. She moved her hands down and this pushed herself forward and cut the fire off. This caused her to collide with the butt cheek and then she rolled up to the back. Then she felt her body rotate the other way. She drove her blade down.

She then spread out her hand and thrust out her hand and blasted fire at the wings. Soon they dropped. He looked back as she ran on and drove her blade up. Soon they were able to collide with the ground and heard screams. Then she looked up and her blood ran cold. She saw the bodies at odd angles. She felt the tears start to fall. Yet she bit her lip.

Dart it! Did it again! I got people killed!

Then she heard more screaming.

Don’t mess up this time.

She blasted herself into the air and, again, she was too high. She propelled herself to the back of one and set fire to one of the wings then dived down under the body and dived to the children and chopped the arms off and she caught them. 

“Hold on, you two!”

They nodded as they dug their heads into her body. She drove the blades through the throat then dived off and then fell upon the trees. She pulled the children off her and jumped off and once the wood was clear she set fire out of her palms and flew on.

Hold on. Why don’t I do this with my feet?

So she lit the fire at her feet and this propelled herself on better.  

She then saw the next set. So she did what she did a moment ago. She did this again and again and again. Then she looked back as the men were doing the same thing as she was, yet without the fire.

Yet, she saw men and women throwing food at the men as they were getting more and more and more of the children out of the way. Yet she spotted in that moment her hunger but she could not address it.

She had to move onto the next one and stabbed the head of one after the other. Yet she saw a woman pulling a weeping girl to one of them. She flew to the fake angels and slit the throat as she looked at the woman judgingly. Then she saw another throw a baby at the next one. Quickly she dived to it and caught the baby as she slit the throat of another. Then she passed it to the older first borns. Yet she saw more doing this and the men were doing the same as her. 

That was when she looked up to see Kin taking more and more of the fake angels. It seemed that he was getting higher and higher as he slit throat after throat again and again. Which she could not help but feel a smile play upon her lips. She saw another slice the throat of one of the fake angels and they too jumped up higher and higher and this took out more and more. Yet there was another group getting all the firstborns to safety.

Soon the last fell and she propelled herself into the air and caught the men and landed safely.
