Chapter 1
There was destruction everywhere. The once clear blue sky was now a murky black from all the ash and smoke. For miles all you could see was fire, rubble, and the fighting between Facorol's soldiers and Aldracon's army. Farther into the center of the kingdom, all the houses had been burnt down and all you could hear was the sound of desperate roars for help and the cries of lost Wyrmlings. Suddenly, from a black cloud of smoke at least 50 dragons flying in an arrow formation came swooping down onto the site. They landed in a straight line and were all wearing a black strap on their arm that had in bright red "AAT", Aldracon's A-Team. They were the finest dragon defense team in Norway. The A-Team split up immediately and one half soared into the sky above the city to look for dragons that needed help, it wasn't soon enough that they all dived down and disappeared into a pile of rubble, pulling out an injured or dead dragon. The Hydras in the A-Team had gone with them so the fires were able to be put out quickly. The other half of the A-Team stayed on the ground and ran over to the very center of Aldracon, were the object that towered over everything else in the kingdom was located, the castle. They circled the castle and stood on guard like statues; keeping their eyes wide and alert.
Inside the castle, King Terad was pacing franticly back and forth in the Royal Hall. He kept demanding General Vorpam to let him out to help fight with the army. "It's too dangerous sir, I've never seen a battle so fierce before. If I let you out there and a group of soldiers sees you you'll surely be killed." General Vorpam said, shaking his head "Well then send me back-up! What kind of king am I to let my soldiers fight for their lives out there and in the meantime sit safely in my castle doing nothing?" Terad yelled as he began to pace back and forth again. "I'm sorry sir, I don't like giving someone higher in rank than me orders but it's for your own good. Also do remember Mythron is out there so there is not much need for help" General Vorpam replied. Terad roared in fury and slumped down in his throne, next to his wife, Queen Aspel, who had been spectating the argument. She sighed and gently began to stroke her husband's broad shoulder.
Meanwhile, waiting at the border of Aldracon and Marblemarsh Forest in a clump of bushes were at least nine dragon soldiers. The thick, red bands on their arms with a black emblem of a dragon circling a skull and the words "Denthanus Ro" at the bottom meant they were Facorol's soldiers. One of them looked up at the sun and nodded to the others. Another soldier stood up and went behind a tree "It's time sir, give us your orders" he grunted. Then from behind the tree, a huge dark figure of a dragon had emerged and moved into the light, it was Facorol. "Yes, it's about time we took action. But before we go let me go over the plan again to make sure you Troutbrains know what to do. We will attack and destroy the East side of the castle, when we get inside we split, you will stay at ground level and make sure no A-Team member makes it to me as I'm making my way to the main tower. When I have the stone I will send a signal saying to retreat, do your best because any injured soldiers will be left behind and I will feel no pity if you are, do you all understand?" "Yes sir!" the dragons said in unison. Facorol eyed them all with his pitch black eyes, there was a long silence and was then broken by the sound of Facorol spreading open his strong wings "Excellent! Our mission begins now!" he yelled. His soldiers spread open their wings as well and altogether they soared above the treetops of Marblemarsh Forest into Aldracon.
The A-Team had been standing around for an hour and a half and was starting to get restless. Instead of standing still and straight, they all had slouched backs and began to fidget in their spots. At the East side of the castle, the dragons had already begun to move around and converse with each other, totally forgetting about the task at hand. Suddenly, one A-Team member had stopped talking with his friend and threw up his ears, "Wings" he said, "I hear wings, and a lot of them" the other members turned to him and shot up their ears as well, "Hey, I hear them too! Everyone! Get into your positions and stay on guard!" a member yelled. The dragons ran back over to the castle wall and stood in a straight line; their eyes darting back and forth, looking for any sudden movements. Soon after that, one of the A-Team members pointed to the sky "There! Take cover!" he yelled, all the other dragons looked up immediately to where he was pointing and tried to run away but it was too late, three giant fireballs had come from the sky and crashed into them. The impact from the fireballs was so intense that it smashed a huge hole through the wall of the castle. Five A-Team members had been knocked out and now only two were left. The sound from the crash called the attention of the other A-Team members on the North and South sides so they came over, "What's going on around here? Are you all ok?" a dragon from the South side called. One of the conscious dragons stood up and yelled, "It's an attack! Guard your sides and warn the members on the West, we will be fine. If you hear anything on any other side disregard it and focus on protecting your side of the castle, now go! There is no time to waste!" The dragons on the North and South nodded and ran back to their posts.
The two dragons walked back and forth, stopping once in a while to check their surroundings for anymore attacks. Suddenly there was a loud bang and a flash, "What was tha- Dear god!" One of the dragons cried as he turned around, the other dragon that was with him was now lying motionless on the ground, with a deep, bloody gash in his throat with strangely, sparks coming out of it. "Impressed? It's my signature move you know…" The dragon jumped at the voice and turned to were it was coming from. Facorol and his soldiers were surrounding him; Facorol stepped forward and said in his eerie voice "Are you enjoying the war? I'm actually quite found of wars really, I worked very hard to come up with a good battle strategy that my soldiers could use, it's quite good isn't it? I mean," he chuckled, "I am winning; Aldracon's soldiers are nothing against mine…" The A-Team member was shaking to the bone, he was used to fighting in a group and was quite young, "Y-You started this? So t-that means, you're…" "Yes, I am the famous Facorol, shocked? Sorry if you're having a good time talking to a celebrity such as me but I must be going, and not to mention," he narrowed his eyes at the young dragon and grinned, showing his razor sharp teeth, "you should be too…" The member had been cornered against a wall by Facorol's soldiers, "W-What do you mean I have to go?" the dragon whimpered. Facorol whipped out his tail, the trident shaped horns at the tip shimmered in the light of the sun "Why you have to go and see your parents of course! They are probably extremely worried about you being out here!" he said as he walked closer to the shaking dragon, "But my parents are dead…" the member squealed as tears ran down his face. The gaps between the horns on Facorol's tail now looked like a tazer when turned on, his grin turned into a malicious smile, "Exactly" There was a bright flash and a loud bang, the dragon now lied dead on the ground with a puddle of blood slowly growing beneath him. Facorol yanked his tail out from the dragon's throat, leaving a deep gash with sparks coming out of it, "I had killed them myself" he said. Facorol looked up at his soldiers, "remember that this is were we split, I'll see you all later, don't fail me" "Yes sir!" the soldiers said as they saluted him. He nodded and walked up to the hole the fireballs had made, he took a couple of steps inside the castle and stopped, he turned around and walked back and called to his soldiers, "by the way, great job with the fireballs" they smiled and saluted him again. Facorol nodded once more and walked into the castle.
