The Nine Dragons Dracula, The Dragon Prince Part Three

 Defeat 


The moment Loc woke she saw the rubble. She drew her blade as she looked around her to see all the dead. Her eyes widened and she felt tears in her eyes.

This is all my fault. This is all my fault.

Why? Why did I start this? Why did I ever let myself lead them to their deaths? Why couldn’t I stop this?

Then she heard the cry, snapping her out of it. She looked to the left. She could see the people, the ones still fighting, were pulling the cannons out and lit them and they hit one after the other but most of them missed.

They’re all going to die. They need to stop and hide.

That was when she felt a slap. She looked to the right.

“What are you doing, dotty eyes?”

She looked to see one of them that followed her from Paradtopia, completely stunned.

“Wh-what?”

“What are you doing just gawking like that? Get your head back into the fight!” He snapped.

She nodded as she pushed the fire out of the soles of her feet and zoomed in the air. She dived at the closest one and gripped onto the back. She then grabbed the horns and pulled them to the nearest one. She put Peble away and hit that one with Rock. This caused it to collide with the ones next to it. 

That one turned to her and sent a blast of fire at her. This caused the wyvern to dive to the right. She then pulled the fire towards it and pushed it back into the throat of that one. Then she pushed the wyvern on and to the next one only for a cannon to hit that one down. She then flew on and hit the wing of the nearest one and then to the next one. She hit the nearest thing that she could. The next thing she saw were the jaws. Quickly she hit the head down then she saw the swarm behind.

She hit the head of the one that she was on and dived to the centre of the group. She hit the head of the ones that came to her, spinning as she did, hitting the heads in the centre of the circle. Then none came to her so she used her fire to spin as fast as needed to keep her in the air and moved to the nearest edge. She did this again and again in the inner circle. Even when she became dizzy, she continued on and on and on. She did not stop, she did not dare to. She spun and spun, getting faster and faster as she took out more and more of the inner circle like a dance or the orbit of two moons around the same planet. Then her body could no longer take it, but she still forced herself on and on and on. Then she had to stop as she saw double at diagonal angles.

That was when she was hit. Yet this was followed by an army of cannonballs that hit the ones above her as she felt one snap on her body. This hit her with such force that it was like being hit by a car with teeth. She whacked as hard as she could to the right. Then the jaws slipped. Yet she felt the same to her left. She hit to the left. She felt another to the right. She hit. Another to the left. She hit. Another to the right. She hit. She did this again and again and again, pushing past her torturous itching the entire time.

Then she started to drop as she heard loud bangs and snapping above her and around her. The next thing she was seeing was the rain of the corpses of these strange falling all around her. Then she saw one coming at her and more fired at them before they got close. She saw more coming at her. Soon they were hit. She then looked down as she saw that the men had got their act together and fired at one after the other.

Yet she knew better than to fly there with her mouth agape. She looked on and flew onto the ones further on. She flew as fast as she could. She reached the nearest one and threw the head up then pulled the hammer down to the one beneath that. She then moved on and saw the nearest one to the left and flung the head of Stone to the left and then Rock to the right. Then she saw one beneath her and dived down and hit. Two came at her at the same time. She flung them out only for the jaws of one in the centre to reach her. She only just managed to strike down. She flew on bashing the rest of the way. The next thing they knew was that they were hit from behind and they fell. She looked on to see that they were all gone.

So they all moved onto searching the rubble for dead bodies. She noticed just how little survived. Yet she had to move on and on and found body after body. Some were eaten away, some were blackened by fire, some were hardly left. Yet at first it was ten. However, as the morning wore on, ten became twenty, then thirty, then forty. As noon started to show, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty. By noon one hundred!

This was not a victory. This wasn’t even survival! This was nothing more than a beat down.

Yet her heart ached as she looked ahead at the tiny dots in the distance…

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Fourteen

 The Rock Dragon  Loc and the other two arrived at where the rock dragon lay. It looked at them with glowing amber eyes and had the shape of a turtle that was large. It had a head the shape of a wolf and had a long tail with four rows of spikes shaping an X at the tip. It had a pair of wings tucked away, yet the body had become too large to fly. It may have been able to fly once upon a time, but not now. After years of being glutinous, it had grown too heavy for it’s body. Upon seeing them it charged at them, making it's body sway from side to side rapidly. They all moved out of the way. They ran to opposite corners. Then it turned around and looked at Shiro directly in the eye. Soon Loc ran and went to jump upon it’s back only to feel pain in her side. The next moment she slammed into the walls. Then a spike fell from the roof of the cave. Loc rolled out of the way and soon the itching flared up as she felt her bones being crushed. Yet then she saw another fall and another an...

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p...

The Nine Dragons The Life Dragon Part Thirteen

 The Army Against The Last  Loc had a light nap before waking up to see the fakegels, a name she had come up with after the fight and handed the second borns over to the rest of the first borns. She could see the men also taking a light nap, just like she was. Yet she knew that she did not have time to wake them. So she pulled out her sword as she could not be bothered to get Rock and Stone. There was no time. She ran on and on. To her relief she did not see a line this time but she did hear shouting in the homes of mainly women and some arguing men. Don’t focus upon that. Not when I have a fight to win. She turned to see them all in the air. The first thing she did was push the fire out from under her feet and dropped onto the back of the first one. She blasted the left wing then stabbed down. She ran on and dived to another and did the same. She then dived to the next one and did the same again and again. Making sure to keep up the pace and not let up once. Until she was sna...

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toa...

Doormaze Drage The Orange World Part Three

 Heat Doormaze and Burn were almost drenched in sweat. Yet as far as they have traveled they had not seen a single drop of safe water! Yet they could see that Coalmine was a lot less affected than they were. Must be due to her dragon side… That was when her mind turned over the dream that she had when Dark Curse and Dark Destiny discussed turning her into a dragon. Maybe it won’t be a bad idea after all. Maybe if I was a dragon then this heat will not be so insufferable. ‘Insufferable’? Ahh! Suddenly she could feel the heat of her body becoming hotter and hotter and hotter. Her mouth felt dry yet she could feel it getting dryer and dryer. She tried to keep her mouth closed to keep in as much moisture as possible. But her lungs demanded more air forcing her to open her mouth and this caused her mouth to become dryer and dryer. Soon her tongue looked like a pink desert. Yet this dryness traveled on further and soon her throat became as dry as her tongue making her cough and cough. He...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Final Part

 Sorrowful Rest Loc spent most of her time between sleep and rest in the underground library, as she tried to stop herself from crying. Looking at the whole place, Loc could not help but feel nostalgic for Billy’s Bookshop. She almost could not help but feel the expectation of the faen walking up to her asking her for what book she would like to buy and read this time. Yet this brought more tears as she had to remind herself that she was not in her world as she picked out the first book. She sat on a stone bench outside and looked at the book and opened it. In the year of three after the dragon  defeated the royals and has taken all our first born and killed them. Then another dragon of great beauty and  majesty carved out pits where she  regurgitated up a strange liquid that made up a series of pools. Then the  rock dragon did the same and put the dead firstborn in. Then they all grew  rock over their flesh and came out alive and as rock. Then, upon the or...
