A/N I hope you enjoy this story and please tell me if I made any errors
As smoke fills the sky all around me are the screams of the innocent, the smoke and ashes of what I used to call home and in the middle of all the chaos is a dragon I dash to the center of the flames to get a closer look at the situation and the dragon. As I rush through the crowds running away from their greatest fears and I run to my life study overhear the others I run by saying "He's a madman!" or "What is he doing?" I ignore them all and keep on my path the the beast. After rushing past all of the fire and ashes of the town I examine the area and see the piles of bloodied dead bodies of knights and the looks of fear on their lifeless faces. Looking around I spot five knights still alive and fighting the dragon but with little success as the monster seem to not notice the men hitting the dragons front legs. I examine the dragon what seem to be at least 50 feet tall one of the biggest I've ever seen and had red scales that were practically gleaming from the fire around it the horns seems the be curvy in a straight line but moved side to side the wings were a bright orange ,but didn't seem to be connected to the body. I wrote this quickly down in my book and just as I finished the dragon roared louder than any creature I had studied before. The knights and I covered my ears in attempt to make it seem quieter but it didn't help at all. Looking back at the dragon for more information I see it preparing to make a attack against the men who were swinging their swords and lances against its legs trying to make it bleed. As its claws come down against us I quickly duck but the others didn't notice until the last moment and are knocked back far away from the dragon and hit the wall of a house then yell in agony. Just as I get up I see the dragon look around the burning village and the last of the people still running away it seemed to have a pleased look on its face I hear the wings of it start to move as it slowly rises from the ground, it hovers for a few moments looking in the direction of the people running from their nightmares and it takes off rapidly (faster than any other dragon I've ever studied). From the sheer speed of the wind it creates I lose my balance and quickly gain it back. I rush over to the knights that were hit from the dragon to see if I can help heal any wounds. I run covering my eyes from the ash and almost trip over a few bodies. As I am only a few feet away I notice all of them look weak and struggle to try and pick up their weapons as I as I get closer They all seem afraid like they are looking at their demise
"Don't worry I'm here to help you." I reply as I kneel to hear them better "What are the injuries?"
"Broken leg."said the first man looking at his leg with fear. He looked like he joined the army just yesterday with long black hair that reached his shoulders
"Trouble... breathing."The second man explained slowly. He was a average sized middle aged man with a big beard and had short brown hair
"Broken arm." Said the third one in a quiet voice looking at his arm I couldn't get a clear look at his face, but he sounded like young adult and had with long black hair pushed back
"Large cut across chest."Said the forth one slowly pointing to his chest which had at large cut across from the attack. He looked older than any of the rest probably the lead his hair was short and silver.
"What about him?"I say as I point at the other man who was breathing slowly and not saying a word. His head was hung and his long black hair covered his face
"He looks like he's almost dead I don't think he'll survive"explained the third man
I shake his armor a little to see if he's unconscious and he makes no movement.
"You, I need you to take off your breastplate in order to patch your cut." I explain to the third man
He nods his head then slowly takes off his breastplate trying to not let the steel touch his cut.
I look at the first man and tell him to not move his arm. He nods in agreement
"How are you having trouble breathing?" I ask the second man
"My...breast...plate...caved...in." He said taking in a deep breath after each word
"Well, this is a...new problem." I stated
"What do you mean?" Asked the forth man with a confused look on his face
I look at him with a straight face "Well... I'm not an expert on armor fixing so I am not sure what to do with his armor." I said as I jerked my head in the second mans direction
I hear a plate of metal hit the stone ground as look in the sounds origin it was the third man having his breastplate off then he yelled at me "PATCH MY WOUND DOCTOR"
I run over to him making sure he doesn't bleed out. I see how bad it is and there seem to be blood going down his chest and I can see his cut better realizing how bad it is I grab a bandage roll out my satchel and start to patch his will keep it closed for now but he needs more treatment later.
"Men I will need to take you broken limbs to the next town since I don't have any supplies to help your current injuries" I directed the others as I finish patching the third man
"WHAT?" The first and fourth man cried in unison.
"Well your wounds aren't something I can fix quickly." I explain as I get up "Plus look around you. I bet you won't be able to survive the heat in you situation"
The first man gets up slowly with the use of his what seemed limp arm. The third gets up with some trouble thanks to his cut. I go over to the fourth man and help him up with difficultly since his still has full suit of armor on then pass him to the first man to support him instead. I remembered the first man was still here and I go over to him and take off his gauntlet to check for a pulse. Its there, but weak help him up putting his arm around my neck. I take a look at his face and he seems to be middle aged with a sad look on his face. I slapped his face a few times trying to make him up but it was no use. Then realizing the second man was still here I looked at the knights around me then asked "Any of you know how to fix his breastplate?"
I heard one say to get him out of the armor. So after putting the man on my neck down me and the third man took off the breastplate of the second man. He took deep breaths and I asked him to carry the unconscious knight he agreed and after picking him up. We all heard houses crumble apart and growing worried the second man suggested we leave.
"Let's leave then. Now which direction to the closest town?" I asked the group
"Uh... The that way." He pointed to the direction I saw the dragon fly away.
Realizing where he pointed I grew concerned for the villagers in that town.
"Alright then lets head out!" I cheerfully told the group as started walking in that direction
"Fine but before we go any further, tell us whats your name?" The third man demanded
I slowly turned my head to them then said "Raxxus. Oh and your better hurry before that dragon decides to return"
Then with fear on their faces they rushed behind me going as fast as they could
"Hey doc' I mean Raxxus what was that dragon?" The first one asked worried that it might return
"I'll tell you after you tell me what your names are." I replied back
"I'm Francis" I first man said
"My name is Geoffry" Said the second man "And the one I'm carrying is Oliver"
"Owain" The third man said coldly
"I'm called Johnathon" The fourth man said
"Well nice to meet you and the dragon that you all saw was rare one here."
"Why is that?" Asked Owain
"Because, that dragon is a Skywing." I replied in a very serious tone
"What's a Skywing?" Francis questioned me
"Well there are six different dragons on this island and they each have their own kingdom there are Skwings like the one you saw, there are dragons that love near the east I call them the "mudwings", there are dragons to the north where its so cold no one dare go but they seem to survive there I call them "Icewings" Further east there is a species of dragons that can some how survive underwater so I call them the sea dragons that live in the extreme heat of the desert are called "Sandwings" and finally there are the "Rainwings" that live in the dense rainforest south of here." I inform them all
They all look amazed "How do you know all of this and why are called kingdoms? The dragons are barbaric there's no way they know how to communicate" Geoffry said confused
"Well I study dragons I believe they that a very organized society and are as intelligent as us, humans" I told them "And that's my life to study these beasts"
We continued to walk out of the village avoiding burning houses and not to trip on the bodies of the dead. Just as we were almost out of the town and out of the fire I hear another roar but this time its not a Skywings.
