The over-all plot was Flair the demon dragon king's idea. I'm just helping with a few smaller details and the wording.
Chapter one:
Storm clouds blocked most light that could have been shed by the moon or stars; a rare sight so close to Mipedian territory. Lightning struck the ground, barely missing an Overworld solder as he and several others retreated, using what little energy remained. Most of them had cracks in their armor; a few had holes, revealing bleeding wounds.
Just a small group of regular solders, Attacat, who had been assigned to the job of overseeing that small group that week, Maxxor, who had went to see how things were going, and Aivenna, who had begged to go with him, seeing it as a chance to have a safe mission away from Intress.
Aivenna loved her adoptive mother, but she was ready to prove that she could handle herself; that Intress's training her had not been in vain; that she was a real warrior and not a little girl. But it seemed that she wasn't ready for it. She had done what she could, and now, as she listened to the beat of her heart and smelt the blood on the ground, she wanted one more chance to train. Just one more chance to help her tribe. She wanted to live. She wanted to tell Intress she was sorry for failing again. Nothing she did was ever good enough.
She knew that if they could get far enough from those blasted Mipedians, Maxxor would use the mugic to take them right outside Kiru City. A few Mipedians would probably be taken with them, but there was no way a few Mipedians could defeat all of Kiru City. But this land would still belong to the Mipedians. Lately they had lost more and more land to that tribe, as had the Underworlders. Sure, most of it had been neutral territory, but it was only a matter of time before the Mipedians started taking Overworld land.
A small Mipedian warrior stood out among the invisible army, mainly because he wasn't invisible. One of the new Commanders, guarded head to toe by metal armor. But there was something else about the Mipedian that stood out; he had no tail.
A small grin showed on his face, assuring his army that he had something up his sleeve as he raised his arm, signaling them to not pursue the retreating army. He raised his sword above his head and threw it at Aivenna. It spun in the air countless times before giving her a large, deep cut on her back. Maxxor heard her sream in pain and stopped and turned just in time to watch her trip. Horror showed on his face. She was so young.
"Attacat" Maxxor screamed as he tossed the mugic to the cat-like creature "I promised Intress I would protect her. Get the others to safety. We're taking the scenic route."
With that said, Maxxor ran to the youngest member of his team. She tried to get up, but the pain was more than she could handle. She had never had such a wound before. Sure, Drabe and Intress tended to give her bruses and scratches. She was a warrior. She could take it. But this was more than she had ever faced. It grew worse as Maxxor picked her up while the sound of the mugic told them they were on their own. His arm was pressed against her new wound. Hopefully the pressure would slow down the bleeding enough for him to get her to the closest Overworld training camp. Now if only there was some way to make her stop crying.
Maxxor looked at the Mipedian army. It seemed they were letting them go this time. Maxxor took one last look at the new Commander. Next time, the Mipedians would be at the mercy of the Overworld, and Maxxor would not forget the debt he now owed.
Next time, Maxxor thought, I'll protect you.
