The Nine Dragons Dracula, The Dragon Prince Part Nineteen

 The Second General 


They all ran up the stairs and noticed that they were getting narrower and narrower and narrower until all of them were running in single file. Loc looked back, signalling that she was to go in first and that they were to repeat the plan. So, when they saw the door she ran on. She looked down at the handle and pulled it down and walked in. 

She felt something around her neck. The next moment she flew in the air and crashed into the ground in the centre of the room. Yet she rolled when she did. She felt the itching as she got up. She then saw more and more falling beside her. However, she knew that it was not the right time to pay any attention to them just yet. 

She looked on to see the creature in the shape of a winged drake, just longer than the rest. 

It pulled in the men at the door and threw them in the room. However she could see the drool falling from the chin. So she ran and ran and ran. Then it happened, the general bit into the throat of one of the eagles before throwing him away like he was rubbish with a disgusted look on its face. Then he grabbed a man and bit into his throat and it's lips curled up as he did it again and again and again until she went to stab the back.

The next thing that she saw was the tail wrapped around Peble. Yet she was soon looking at eyes that were filled with hunger that could have only belonged to that of a wolf.

“Oh, sorry. I was not meant to do that.” He spoke like a child. “But I can not help it.”

That was when he closed the door and took a step toward her. She could feel his breath upon her 

“Even when I was a man I could not help it! If any man or woman I liked the look of I knew that I had to eat them! I would follow them for hours and hours until they were all alone. Then I would take a rock and hit them. Then I would take them home where I would-”

That was then she felt a bite in her shoulder. She bit into her lip as she felt the pain flared up. Then it let out a sound that a child would make after drinking. Then he licked his lips and laughed.

“I would always go for the spots that won’t kill them. Then they would be me for hours and hours for me to stop but that was the best part. I would even get a special little fighter like you and I would fight them until they knew that they could not escape. Then I would strap them down as I would play with them until they begged for death. But I would not give it until I drank their tears.

“Then when the army gifted me the taste of my own medicine and what a glorious day that was! I enjoyed eating my way to the top!”

Not wanting to hear any more she kneed his tail and stabbed between the legs before pushing on. The next thing that she was seeing was the blast of fire coming at her.she dodged out of the way as she sent it away. Then she saw his blades coming down upon her. She put Peble away and pulled out Rock and Stone. She was about to hammer the wrists when she saw the blades at the other side. Only to see that they were attached to the fingers. Yet upon closer look she spotted they were welded upon the hand! Then it struck her arm. Then she felt more in her gut. She looked down to see the feet were in the exact same condition!

Her eyes widened as she saw the rest were able to flood in. Then the general turned back and blasted fire at them. This gave Loc her opening. So she pulled back and went to hammer the palm but he jumped up and grabbed her by her head and pulled her up. She flew in the air. She looked down to see a wall of fire beneath her! Quickly she parted the flames only to see nothing there. Then she felt the teeth in the other shoulder.

Quickly she hit behind her. Then the jaws painfully pulled away. She bit her lip to stop herself from crying out. Yet she noticed that the creature was flying higher and higher.

“So you can control fire!”

She went to strike him again but she felt the blades in the back of her thighs come out the other side of them. 

“How about a little bit of screaming?”

Yet she looked at the talons around her arms. She whacked across and he let go. She pushed the fire out of her feet and swung up. She hit the heads of her hammers down upon the shoulders. Causing him to hit the ground hard as the rest dived at him. They saw his head go to strike them but they dived back and men behind him drove the tips of their blades into his back. He looked back as she hit the head as hard as she could. She then hit the head again and again and again until there was nothing left.

“What is it?”

She looked away as she cringed.

“That thing wasn’t human, not even when he was a man.”

Not wanting to say more she walked on. Not even wanting to think any more about the general.

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...

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...

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 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...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Four

 Defending The Town  It was nearly an hour after sunrise when Loc saw the army on the far end of the tunnel. She looked back at Gina. She nodded and gave her a couple of coins with a dragon head on. “There’s a weapon’s shop at the edge.” Loc gave her the basket and ran to it. “Doyouhavammer!” “What?” “Do you have a hammer?” “Yes.” She gave him the coins. Yet then he looked at her eyes and his widened. “That’s enough for two.” He took them and took out two large hammers. She took them. She felt the weight and threw them in the air a few times. “Good weight!” “Hold on! You can hold them both?” “Yeah. Can’t the women of this world do the same?” “No. Not even some men can do that.” She raised her eyebrow, however she knew that she did not have time to appreciate what he had just said. She ran out as she knew that they were reaching the town. I need to take them away from the town. She thought as some passed her. She ran to the closest one. She jumped in the air and thrust her ham...

Doormaze Drage The Orange World Part Twelve

 Plan They arrived at the outskirts of Centrepoint. It seemed like a rocky wasteland. Where there were lava rivers and orange rocks as far as they could see. The clouds were bright orange and thick. They could see there was amber lightning spreading across the sky. “Right. What do we do?” “Well, we are to find a way to get to the castle over there.” “Right, and how do we avoid the lightning?” “We could tunnel down it?” “With what?” “Ah.” “But what about taking down King Infireno?” “Well, we could use the water?” “And how much do we have?” “Seven wineskins.” “And how many do we need?” “Oh.” Doormaze looked down and around and saw the water on the opposite side. “Why don’t we use that?” They all looked at the water. Then at the castle. Their minds ticked over all they were looking at. “Well, we could use the ocean to spread water everywhere?” “But that will take too long.” “Alright, why don’t we gather all the water and-” Hold on, didn’t Dark Curse give me the power of water? Yeah… T...
