The Nine Dragons Dracula, The Dragon Prince Part Twenty-One

 The Dragon’s Warning


They all entered the throne room. It was large and on the other side was a long destroyed stage area. It also had a long strip in the centre which was also broken. At the base was a large hole where a throne must have been.

“Where’s the dragon?” Asked one.

Yet Loc, who could not help but be reminded of the throneroom of Wolf Raven’s, snapped out of it and looked up. She soon spotted that ahead of them was a large black dragon with scarlet horns going along his spine and golden horns on his head. He had amber cat-like eyes with sharp teeth like knives in his mouth.

“How bold of you to come here.” hHe boomed before fire blasted out of his mouth.

Loc outstretched her hand and stopped the flames. Yet this was not enough as the fire was drawn out at both sides of the edges of his wingspan. Yet she pushed it on and flew up to Dracula’s throat and then went to push the fire back in but he closed it in time. Then he hit her down and she landed.

“Get that mouth open!” She called before getting back up.

She used the fire to get back up in the air and pushed on and on. Then she saw another blast coming down upon her. She pushed the fire apart. She then spotted that she was dropping. Yet she soon went to fly up again but she was hit by a blast of fire. She was about to hit the ground when she lit the fire again and drove herself on. She was then hit by another blast but, before she could even try to return to the air, she was hit again and again and again.

During this time, the eagles spread their wings and took to the air and dashed at Loc. Hoping that she could keep Dracula distracted long enough to do what they needed to do. So they rose up and as they flew above the dragon, they looked down to see that he was looking directly at them. They flew apart as the fire flew out of his mouth. 

They barely just managed to get out of the way as the eagles at the edges drew their bows and fired at the wings. Then they reloaded as fast as they could before firing again and again and again. Soon they hit as the ones in the centre of the eagles fired at Dracula’s eyes and kept firing until there was a tear in the wing. 

The ones in the middle of the left and right dived at it and looked at Loc. She looked to the wings and knew what to do. She used her fire to shoot up as the centre eagles kept the head busy. She rose up to meet them. Then she saw the fire and pushed the fire to the arrows before they got lodged into the wings. 

This collectively set them alight. She then used her power to make the fire spread as far as she could as she fell. Then she felt the flames upon her. Her face was slashed, taking her right eye out of it’s socket! She dived back as the itching erupted before she was snatched in the darkness, instinctively closing her left eye before she felt the breath, the inside of his mouth and heard the jaws clamp down upon her. Her whole body was in the mouth.

She bit into the tongue as Dracula landed. She forced her left eye open and flicked her blade up and struck the top of the mouth. The next thing she felt was her whole body being pressed against the soft pallet. Forcing her to bite down harder and spat out the chunk of dragon tongue in her mouth. Before she could take another bite the tongue forced her jaws together as her right eye regenerated.

Meanwhile outside the army charged at the throat and Dracula rose and whacked to the left and to the right and to the left, again and again and again and again. Yet as this happened the men on the ground raced at both ends. They all kept as silent as they could then stabbed the sides.

He let out a roar as he looked down at them and then swallowed Loc before he let out a blast of fire at them. They all dodged out of the way and dived on. They all slashed the centre of the body and Loc rolled out of the stomach. She was coated with stomach acid and the contents of Dracula’s stomach.

Her eyes opened and stabbed up and cut the heart in half. At this he fell and looked upon them. He then let out a bitter and hollow laugh as they cheered.

“What?” Loc snapped.

“Do you think this is a victory?”

He shook his head as he let out another laugh.

“Well, what else could we call it?”

“The result of foolish dead people who have deluded themselves into believing they can do something.”

“Come on! We beat you! And it was easier than any of us thought!” Spoke a man.

At this he bellowed a laugh that turned into a cough.

“Yes… well…I may be easy…but, my father is not! You will all die before he reaches you…” He could barely whisper before he coughed and his life left him.

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...
