The Nine Dragons The Dragon King Part Twenty-Three

 The Final General


They soon were able to come to another set of stairs. They all walked up to another set of double doors. They walked on and the doors opened to where Basilisk was.

They all looked back for a moment then looked on. They let out a deep breath. Now was the time to take out the last general. Once this one was taken out then it would be the last dragon. This would mean that all the people of this world would be free from the fear and terror of the dragons and would be able to sleep safe and sound, knowing that the morning will bring a new world and a new way of life.

Some men could feel excitement run throughout them. Some wondered what they would do after this and with their new found freedom. Some dreamed of marrying that woman they wanted. Others, finally confessing their love to her. Others just wanted to see their wives and enjoy her comfort by a cozy and warm fire and rest in her arms. Wrapped by her love and kindness. With a tender intimacy that only married couples knew. All warm and the future bright and filled with a flooding light. A light that brought hope, love and laughter.

Then they looked up to see the large wyvern twice the size of the first dragon that Loc faced. This brought them out of their dreams and back into reality. They could feel the heavy dread sink deep into them. Yet their hope still burnt far too bright. They were too close to their victory. So they all looked at Loc. She nodded.

She saw the fire coming at her. She stopped it. Yet he kept pouring fire upon her like a heavy waterfall. Yet as she stopped it she pushed the fire up as hard as she could. But she could feel the power double. She kept pushing on. This gave an opening to charge on and under the curtain of fire. They all rushed to the feet. Then the legs flicked in the air. Yet Basilisk was able to keep the fire up and increased the power behind the flames. 

Knowing that she did not have the time, she looked back to the eagles and then back. They flew up and the men were able to get on the back and they shot up in the air. That was when the power became too much. Then she collapsed under the pressure.

Then the giant wyvern general dived at her. Then the arrows flung at him. The head rose and let out a powerful blast at them. She pushed the fire up and on as hard as she could. Then there was a break as his attention returned to her. Then let another blast of fire at her as he flew towards her. Yet she pushed the fire up and their arrows were about to hit the wings but he raised his head and set them alight. They were all dust before they could land. 

Then he laughed before he leaned in front of her. He let a blast of fire at her. She pushed it back as hard as she could.

Then the head went to strike her. She dived to the right. The head retracted and struck where she was. She dived to the left. The head retracted again. Then she dived out of the way of the next strike and the next one and the next one until at the last moment, as she dived to the left, his head flicked to her and snapped on her. Then flicked her up and snapped the rest of the body up. Soon she was gulped down and the arrows were finally able to hit.

He let out a roar and he raised his head towards them. As he let out a blast of fire he felt the blades in his feet. He dropped down and let out a blast of fire at them. They all dived back and out of the way. Some of them looked around for Loc.

“Fool of a woman got eaten again!”

“Brother!”

“For the last time, I am NOT APOLOGIZING!”

So they all looked at the mouth and spotted the wave of fire coming at them. Quickly they all scrambled to avoid it. After all, they knew that this was the best thing that they could do. Yet they looked at the feet and others nodded. So they ran on and on and on keeping out of the sight of Basilisk and kept their eyes on the head as the ones in front arrived and pushed their swords up.

This was met with fire. They raced back and as they did another group of men were able to get to the tail. They then split and charged on and jumped onto the back and the other stayed at the feet. Then they hit the legs again and again and again. Basilisk looked down and let out a blast of fire at them. They all dived out of the way. 

Meanwhile the ones on the back were able to charge on and on getting higher and higher. Then they all made a dive at the wings. They all sliced down as they landed. The ones near the top slammed their blades down as hard as they could. Ripping the wing joints and back apart. Then both wings fell. Basilisk let out a roar as the wings bounced on the floor.

Then the ones at the feet dived on and continued to hit the feet again and again until the ankles and lower shins and calves broke apart. Quickly they all scrambled to get out of the way as the body fell.

Meanwhile, inside, Loc hit the stomach again and again and until it burst. It took all that she had to keep her mouth shut. She had to push past the pain as she came to the lining. She could see that there was reddening of the skin, yet she kept pushing on and on and on. Then she saw small blades in her clothes as she sliced the stomach lining. 

The stomach acid was just above the wound. Then came the collapse and the stomach acid flipped up and the wound increased. So she thrust to the lower sarcophagus and she scrambled up. She climbed and climbed and climbed until she rolled out of the mouth. She could see that her wounds were already healing.

“Typical. Got eaten again!”

She nodded.

“Should try to stop doing that!”

“Yes. You should!”

Then she looked back as the stomach acid spread underneath the dead giant wyvern general.

“Then again, maybe not!” She spoke as a weak smile spread across her lips.

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 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...

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...

Doormaze Drage The Orange World Part Eleven

 Water It was a whole week when they arrived at Dalane Lake. They had, by that point, been out of their supplies for a day before they arrived. They were all exhausted and were at their wits ends. So the moment that they saw the sparkling water they ran to it, their minds blinded by their hunger and thirst. The moment that they reached the water they saw the lush crop of fish they smiled. The next thing that they noticed was just how clear it was and yet the whole plain was untouched by any scorch marks. “Hey!” Doormaze called pointing at it all. “I know.” “It was the same with the spot that we were staying at. Some of the fire creatures saw that place they moved on, almost slightly scared. But we did not see anything wrong with the place.” The girls nodded. “So, time to drink.” With that they lined up at the bank of the lake and drank in as much as they could. Then they refilled their water skins. After, they threw out a line. “How many should we get?” “As many as we can. After al...

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 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...

Scar A Lonely Escort Final Part

 Hollow Warmth The moment that the door disappeared Morana knew something was going on. The moment that Beatrice and Britannia ran through the frame confirmed it. Quickly they ran out of the cell as Morana kept her guard up in case of traps. They ran down the corridor and she followed her husband as she gripped her daughters hands tightly as he ran up a flight of stairs and to the right then up another flight of stairs and to the left and soon they left the underground structure. They were greeted by a spherical stone that had a glowing blue substance that was dripping off it. They then heard the sound of weeping as they looked at the glowing runes fade out. They walked on and Beatrice and Britannia tripped over something. They both looked down to see the dead bodies of Ephah and Damia. At this they screamed. Morana went to dive at them only to stumble over something herself and she looked down to see the dead eyes of Charnette looking directly at her. Her eyes widened as she looke...
