VERY. VERY IMPORTANT! I HAVE EDITED, UPDATED, AND CHANGED A FEW THINGS IN THIS STORY. TAKE NOTE, PLEASE.
They were flying. Soaring through the clouds.
A boy clung to the beast below him, the wind stinging his eyes. He wanted to shout, to scream, to stop, but they couldn't, not now. The child tightened his hold on the beast's neck, burying his face into hard scales. He knew where they were heading, flying upwards to the highest peak that no man dared to climb.
He peeked up as he felt them slowing down, in front of him was an enormous building. It looked truly intimidating in the early morning. While he didn't want to be here, he knew that they had to, it was the only place they were safe, for now.
They landed with a loud clang on a thick edge and the boy quickly scurried off the beast. Though he hurriedly turned around and looked straight into the dragon's glowing green eyes. He wanted to cry; how did all of this happen? Wasn't it just a few weeks ago they were on that island? No, it couldn't be, it felt as if it was years ago.
He had no more time to ponder when the black dragon turned sharply, growling. The boy listened for a moment and could hear the sound of engines. He looked in the same direction too and his blood turned to ice; in just a few short moments, surrounding them were many airplanes. They flew in circles around the building, propellers all buzzing annoyingly.
The Night Fury shrieked in challenge, pushing the small human aside easily with his tail, then jumping into the air where he flapped to the very peak of the building and perched there, wrapping around a tall rod. The human looked up in horror, for it was a truly frightening sight. He feared an airplane would come after him as well, but he was nothing to them. The humans' only target was the Night Fury.
"No!" He cried and began to climb to the top as well, using the ladder made for construction workers. The black dragon above roared loudly, the cry echoing through the city and chilling all creatures.
After a moment, the machines dived in, aiming and shooting from their guns. The Night Fury only snarled as he took the hits, swiping at them and shooting his blue fireballs. One took a hit from a bolt and plummeted to the ground.
The human shuddered as he watched the broken metal disappear below. He pushed it aside though and quickly continued to climb. The black dragon couldn't take much more of this. The rising sun was hitting its scales, glittering against dark red blood. The sun only helped to make the dragon look as if it were glowing; the sight was both beautiful and terrifying.
The small human could do nothing, though. He tried as hard as he could to protect the weakening beast but the other humans paid him no heed. Their mission was to kill and no one was getting in their way.
He felt utterly useless and watched in anguish as the life slowly seeped from the Night Fury's eyes. The planes backed off, they could sense victory. Finally, one swooped in and released the killing blow, shooting a swarm of bullets into the dragon's side. The Night Fury shrieked loudly in pain before silencing. The monster looked one last time into the human's dark green eyes which were wide in horror before all life finally drained away and the offspring of lightning and death itself slipped from the top of the building and descended to the ground.
The boy wailed.
A/N; I've always wanted to do a prologue..
