Chapter 1: Enter the Brothers of Bastok

" Kai, Watch out!" yelled the younger Hume brother Hiro. Too late , the dragons claws hit Kai in a head on collision smacking the older brother about 20 feet away. " Ah CRAP, Raven, Kojan, help me hold the dragon off while Nami heals Kai! Everyone else, join in! said Hiro as he barely avoided another swing of the dragon's claws. Everybody except the mages charged forth drawing their weapons.

Nami rushed in casting her revival spell on Kai who was lying motionless on the ground. "Thanks Nami." Groaned Kai as he rose from the ground in pain. Nami than casted a cure spell on Kai. "You shouldn't worry about me, i'll be fine." said Kai feeling better from the spell. He turned watch the ensuing battle continue.

Everyone hit with their strongest attacks, even though it seemed they weren't doing any damage, little by little the dragon was being damaged by the attacks. "Grrr, These adventurers are stronger than the other fools I've faced, no matter, i'll finish them off without a bead of sweat." said the dragons' master under his breath. The Wizard closed his eyes and sent a unsaid message to the dragons' mind. Immediately, as if on instinct the dragon reared on it's hind legs catching the fighters off-guard. " That can't be good." said Hiro. He quickly jumped high to avoid the dragon's attack.

The dragon's front legs struck the ground with such force that it caused the ground to split in all directions, thus making everyone trip and fall to the ground. "Now Burn them, BURN THEM ALL! yelled the dragon's master with a hint of happiness in his voice. The Dragon reared it head back preparing to finish the incapacitated group. Then suddenly appearing from the dark heights of the cave, Hiro came down with incredible speed thrusting the spear into the dragon's neck. "NO!" Yelled the wizard in complete shock of the turn of events. The dragon howled in pain as the lance pieced it body, sending the fire breath intended for the adventurers skyward toward the caverns celling. Hiro pulled the lance from the creatures neck sending blood spewing from it, the blood covered Hiro's armor, but he didn't flinch one bit.

Hiro prepared to deliver the final blow to the monster until a wave of energy knocked him from the creature's back to the floor behind it. "Ouch." was hiro's response to the unexpected attack. Looking over in the direction of the blast, he was expecting a final shot to finish him off, it never came. "What's wrong" said Hiro jokingly, "Can't finish me?" "I Don't have to." said the wizard. "Huh?" Hiro soon remembered his position and mentally kicked himself . In a last ditch effort, he tried to roll away, too late, the dragon's powerful tail smashed into Hiro's side smashing and destroying any bones he had in that region immediately, he soon became a ragdoll and went crashing in to the cavern wall and then falling to the ground in a heap.

"Hehe, that nuisance is taken care of , now to finish the rest of them of... WHAT THE?" The wizard's face instantly changed showing complete fear. There stood the group of adventurers with their weapons in hand and being led by a rejuvenated Kai. "Everybody ready?"

asked Kai, everyone nodded, "Then take that dragon down!" yelled Kai. The dragon was caught completely off guard, every hit it took was worse than the last. It's legs gave way as it struggled to fight back, but to avail. "Get out of the way!" yelled Kai as he charged forward through the group to finish off the dragon for good. Kai jumped and in one fluid motion cut the dragon's head off in one slice. Blood spewed from the decapitated creatures neck as it fell to the ground in a twitching and dead heap.

"No! i can believe it, I... I lost." The wizard said as he sank to his knees in defeat. "Yes, you lost Demitri, now you're coming with us." said Kai walking up to the defeated wizard. " I don't think so Kai." said a sultry voice emerging from the darkness behind Demitri. "Natalya."

said Kai as a female hume came into the light wearing a completely black dress that showed off her impressive features. The group was too busy staring at her to notice Demitri had crawled to her side. "I plan on seeing more of you in action in the future." said the hume, laughing seductively before disappearing in flames with demitri in tow. "Crud, he got away." sighed Kai, "Gee, i wonder why." said Kara, a mithra and Kai's girlfriend. "Don't be like that Kara, how was I... wait where's hiro?"asked Kai in a completely random change of subject.

"Found Him!" yelled Kojan, a elvaan male and close friend of Hiro's. "He's in very bad shape, Nami, quick, get over here. Heal him!" After removing his body armor and a full minute of healing, Hiro stood up, "I missed alot didn't I" asked Hiro, "Yep." said Kojan. "Dragon?" "decapitated" "demitri?" "Escaped." "Ah well, at least it didn't get any worse." Hiro said turing around to face Kai. Only instead of Kai, he saw Kai and Kara kissing and hugging each other like a couple, "Arrgh, must they always do that infront of me?" said a revolted Hiro.

HiroOfLegend: Finished!

Dazarae (elvaan female): YAY! That was a good one, Hiro.

Kojan: Even by my high elvaan standards this was great...HUH? What is Treeking doing on your head?
