But Zach could not just spill it out as he knew that Eric was not ready to hear the name of the creature which the orc had brought them into its cave. “Forget about the name of the beast, let us turn around. Going that way is very dangerous. We wouldn’t survive it.” “It is either you tell me what it is or have me find out by myself?” Eric gave him two options to choose from and he was very serious about it. “It is a dragon.” Zach made his choice by telling him what it was instead of allowing him continue with the movement which he had tagged to be suicidal. “A dragon?!” Eric exclaimed as he could not believe what he was told. According to what they told him in the country of Palind, they only had one dragon terrorizing them of which he had killed so it was impossible for him to believe that there was another dragon out there in the outer world. “Yes, I know the sound of one when I hear it.” Zach was absolutely affirmative on this and would not back out even though Eric refuses to
When the dragons came to the point where they had diverted, they stopped, about three of them, two matured dragons though not as old as the one which Eric had killed when he was still in Palind. It was obvious from their appearance and sizes that they were the descendants of the one which he had killed in the country. Knowing their dwelling but not being able to predict human action, they had to part ways at that very spot where Eric and Zach had taken the diversion. Two had to go in the direction which they had higher expectation that the humans had taken, while one took the part which Eric and Zachary had taken. Eric and his friend kept running for only a matter of time till they felt that the creatures were no longer following them in that direction so they had to slow down and take in some deep breath to recover their strength. But it did not last for up to fifteen minutes before they could hear the steps of a dragon coming their way again. From the steps they heard, it was conf
Well, Eric wasn’t stupid to see that the dragon was about to breathe fire and then do nothing. He was already on it. saying a few words which came into his head with the belief that they would result in a magical trick. Just as believed, the words he said silently to himself gave rise to a magical trick opening a little portal which none knew where the portal leads to, and the aim of this portal was not to give take them out of the cave, rather the portal brought about the fire breath of the dragon to go through it to a location unknown to them, causing no harm to come to Zach who was the target of the dragon. With what had just happened, the dragon knew that Eric was a magician, therefore it knew what it was up against. Initially, it thought he was just a mere man, but knowing now that he had magic, it could tell that it would be very difficult for it to kill them alone. What surprised it most was the fact that he had casted a spell without any staff in his hands, and that was a cha
The path which Eric had taken in order to retrieve the item that caught his attention was truly a dead end as presumed. He came to the end of the road and beheld the thing that had drawn his heart to that place was nothing else other than the perfect weapon on which he knew how to make use of. With excess joy to have seen something like that in a place such as the dragon cave made him freeze. He could not believe his eyes, it was perfect staff and from what he could predict, the staff was not forged by any mortal hand. Being in the dragon cave had a very high significant, based on the knowledge he had about dragons from the real world, they were more of magical creatures than mythical creatures, so he believed that the staff which was found there would have some high level of magic and would also help his powers to be stronger and easier to master. He stared at the staff as he said, “This is absolutely a perfect magical ward for me. With this, my mission here in Palind would be a succ
In a matter of a few minutes, Zach was now able to sight what Eric had foreseen and now he was able to understand what he had said before. The joy he got was so great that his speed increased because with their destination in view, there was hope of escaping as they now knew with evidence that their movement was not in vain. As they approached the exit of the cave, that was when they were able to hear the roaring voice of the dragons. This time the roar was so great and fierce, able to freeze their in thought that the dragons were near. But this roar was coming at the wrong time because the exit of the cave was already in view. The rate of this roar made it seem to them as though the dragons could feel that they were about exiting the cave and thus the roar was in sorrow for their failure to kill those who have entered their cave and have broken an unbreakable record. The roar continued with echoing even as they came out of the cave and had to run some meters away from the mouth of
At the time when Zach could see that the fire was still burning, but he was not feeling the vexed heat, he now looked at Eric with a smile knowing fully well that was his handwork. With a smile on his face, he then nodded to Eric, and the signal interpreted that he knew he was capable of doing something without stress. Eric, for the first time ever, knew how he was able to perform that trick unlike other tricks which he would do for the time without knowing exactly what he did. He was shocked but happy, he still did not have a clear explanation about that thing being possible. Yet for the fact that the dragon was still in action, they maintained a static with a relaxed mind because they weren’t feeling any heat so the dragon was free to continue its fire breath for as long as it can. After spending over half an hour on that place breathing fire for the heat to bring them out to no avail, it finally stopped and turned away as it knew that it was highly impossible for them to have endu
The fact they were not getting any scent to track was frustrating to them, they kept wondering what could be the reason for them not getting a track and it appeared to be caused by two options based on their level understanding. It was either they the scent was being blown away by the air out there since it was a vast space and therefore had more breeze or it could be that they had gone back the the country of humans through the help of the magician which they were aware of and his new magical ward which he had stolen from them because it wasn’t his. Since they had two possible options going through their minds, it was expedient that they choose either of the options and act in a way that would favor based on the option that they would choose. The first dragon that had come out of the cave and had breathe fire on the rock which Eric and Zach were taking refuge in then made it clear to the other of its kind with concrete reason, telling them that the second option was the only that
When the king marched out with his army to defend the city of Raychester, he noticed something strange and useful to their advantage from the particular dragon in the city, and that which was noticed was the dragon does not know its way around the country nor how to face such a great number of army at a time. Thus with the advantage on their side, king Luca Cole commanded the archers to shoot their arrows and the aim was to kill the dragon as it was a young dragon thus its skin was not going to be difficult to penetrate like the one of the old dragon which was killed in the city. As the arrows flew to the dragon, with a few hitting it, the young dragon knew that it was not going to survive if it stayed there longer than that. So to go out of sight and out of range first, it had to lift itself up into the cloud and then it moved it the cloud, moaning, calling out for the other ones around the country to leave whatever place they were taking attacks from the human army because its sen
