war! war has begun in the following year of the now known major threat of dangerous vipre loaw azeos aranidae and his new force of deadly nadder converted followers shadows coming desaster for another dragon species now currupted. the following takes place days after the cure blue oleandor proudly administered by rising night fury denix-replay loaw snarna mandalore cures the nest of the poision deathbringers ealier attack on the nest inflicted their near death. things reach a boiling point as the god protectors influence grows this is thier story part 2.
loaw snarna mandalore raced through the close fitting tunnels of this mystery cropping up cave system in the near heart of the desert, so mutch like those her tranced mind barely remembered as those she used to reside in. oh that intruding flesh and blood boy was going to pay in full for startling her work. shed been trying to detect a target other then him by scent but unluckily for her it didnt help that being back the way she felt was rightfully hers was harder then it appeared when the path to enlightenment was offered by her leader. she was back to what she belonged, yes, quite comforted by the fact that all this time she was lied to.
"all this time this dragon has been played for a fool, letting her stray from the pureness of my god protector in the night sky. dis they honistly think thier lies could go undiscovered forever? what a laugh! its been great to see after so mutch blindness though. this other dragonmy leader asks i silence may be bigger then i but my will is strong and his fate absolute." gone was the pure dismissiveness of a dragon who could give a wing, replaced by that of a paitent obediant puppet cleverly crafted by loaw azeros aranidaes trap set for this dragoness. (another story game of sweet revenge) shed searched a bit but the desert was the last in a few places in this land shed yet to fly over with an observant eye. loaw snarna posessed another first title her real name before what happened to her: a sarcastic somewhat vey annoying dragoness by the name od denix-replay.
she had not been noticed until recently. her name was over time becoming known to the deadly nadder followers converted as well after the last of loaw azeros night furys fell due to a hasty battle headed by black brute deathbringer. a dragon aranidae was tired of existing in his leadership, one who denix-replay was orderd to kill. aranidae made it very clear what he wished. loaw snarna in her fixed frame of mind was happy to deliver it. it didnt matter to her what once was or was going to be, just the ultimate will to follow the god protector. it didnt seem strange or odd to her that deathbringer tha black beast was one of thier own, rather the fact that he chose to rebel on his own. loaw azeros way was right. acting rashly got one killed faster. i want you to find him. track him. i want him destroyed echoed the leaders words in her mind. now his life was entirely hers, there right in front of her, she wasnt interested in what this male had to say. he was simply going to be erased from this land.
ignoring the two legged in her way to deathbringer, just like shed dismissed the four littler furys currently far away from thier mothers, she flicked her long switchblade claws out. "ill come for you, surprising big dragon with rash actions. loaw azeros sent me to deliver a little greeting and a quick merciful end if youre polite. pity youll be nothing but a big empty load for my wings to cerry and dump." "how did you-" the brute began just as loaw snarna smacked into him, they both tumbled past the human into the sand outside. finding him bigger then expected as a target, denix-replay/loaw snarna grunted trying to untangle her tail that tangled in his huge wings, so deathbringer recovered first. shoving in closer instead of away to gain more leverage the black brute landed a few glancing blows with his larger then normal claws out to her neck. loaw snarna reeled in pain.
in a fight against nona unknowingly for the larger of the two, nonas experience couldve easily won this skirmish but against denix he stood a fighting chance. "who are you how did you find me?" deathbringer breathed angrily down her neck scraping a few of her scales clear off for emphasis. "through searching of couse. dont tell me your dumb as well as deaf" she retorted reasonably. he reeled in the temptation to growl. this female simply had a high arrogance level that he himself would deal with: the vermilion way. deathbringer resisted eagerly her efforts to shove him off. if he kept scratching away she could be over and done with. she simply wasted his exhausted trip to find nona. he waited for all this time to slay her. couldnt all these leaders not see that all paths to thier plans being so frustratingly spoiled led to her?
lost in thought he hadnt noticed while grappling that hed perfectly pinned her onto the sand with him on top, his heavier weight preventing her squirming free. what crossed the brutish males mind as he swatted loaw snarnas determined struggling flailing claws was this: if the god protector who became first known as an entity through a night fury four years ago said some thiings amd let others happen, why did it let him go and hadnt said anything yet battling this female? she acted and behaved not as a clueless trying to stop thier plans lizard rather something...other. he longed to find out what. the brutes jaws curled into a thin smile. "squeak squawk she goes. you know that sounds alot like the furys of your sad blinded kind say alot. when will you and yours just lay on your stomachs submissively and plead for forgiveness from us? then again we can simply forcefully turn you to the correct way of things. carrying on that stubbornness until they eventually go down in a blaze of glory. witch do you think appropriate?" deathbringer teased.
loaw snarnas smouldering distaste for him or maybe just for her losing battle was clearly seen. "oh believe me when im through with you wont have to ask" came her words darkly witch deathbringer felt with a flash of scowling hate, kill you and leave no remains. "are we done playng nice now sweetheart? let me show you how a real dragon fights, darling" he boomed in his deeper voice. there was just one thing remaining so her swift end was finalized. the brute glanced down her snout at her. "who are you?" loaw snarna wriggled free of his grip on her shoulders, explaining her purpose and how foolish was her temporary blind self. she danced swiftly aside as deathbringer tried to trip her up with his hind talons. "and in short led astray. aranidae sent me to find you. aranidae has plans in his mind. aranidae doesnt care how long that plan of the stars takes, only for you to follow it. in short he wants you dead, the power within you vanquished."
thats it then. her unguarded answer solved the mystery of why she fought and acted as not one of those blinded furys but as a follower. a rather new one from the way she agreed with his reasoning finally, not denying it. while he fought her clawswipes his mind worked: so the slightly uncomforterable truth was there. his leader while slow with every other plan was swift in sending a newly enlightend dragon to kill him? one of his own? the more followers they had under the god protectors rule the easier it shouldve been for the deed to get done. deathbringer wasnt pleased about this. he had to do what needed to be done because all others were failing time after time and displeasing the moon surely. "why did he need to do this? why so sudden in this matter? cannot that smug leader see that he should be working as one to solve this crysis? we were made as we are for a reason. after kahuakhaun who was eventually defeated, perseverin was the perfict leader to accomplish it. i intend to repay that debt nona inflicted us by killing perseverin and nightflights blindness, turned away from us."
loaw snarna tried jabs with her talons at deathbringers undertummy but couldnt get past the massive bulk of his wings chasing her attempts away. hummph. her words were barbed and icy. "because my leader doesnt take kindly to betrayal. especially from one of his own. he lacks other furys completing tasks for him. he wasnt pleased with losing the rest of his furys to your reckless harassment of the nest. too direct. you must be more sly." deathbringer blinked then barked a harshly gruttel laugh. "he actually told you that? how i seemed like the foolish dragon rushing to his death? im surprised. seeing as aranidae doesnt tell me anything but false useless patience for something to happen. that snake has alterd your way of thinking into doing nothing as well. " his tone tok on that bitter resentment he felt dwelling on the past. the sudden blast of sand encouraged the brute to lift off on his huge impressive dark wingspawn.
strength would win him out alone. "i refuse to sit by as our whole plan crumbles to ashes in the wind, the moons will burning in fire! all the past leaders have worked so sucessively hard to complete, spoiled. that is what our rsistant blinded enemy furys wish to do! i know they wont stop: aranidae, sly and smart as he feels he is, doesnt see the weakness i do." denix surged in a blast of additional wind to meet him. "you sound lie sutch a ravaged soul, dragon. i pity you. i truely do. but aranidae is the one who will make wings meet in the end. isnt that what matters? your actions are your weakness." "your faith in your leader is yours" he shot back "he doesnt know all it takes is the eradication of one to shift others drastically. ive found her: nona. despite that ruler of two nests shes the experienced one they look up to. i kill her...the rest will come crumbling down. all so easy. im compleately within my rights to twist his plan into finality. i will not be denied with a final battle with nona again" he finished with a grin.
her hesitation thinking this over allowed the brutish fury to grasp her shoulders just wher her wings began, his massive strength aiding him to forcibly cerry her down to where the cave awaited her. he whirled her around without letting go. "wing around the draaaaaaagonnnn! faster, faster!" she squirmed slightly free. he saw what she was doing and righted his grip suddenly. she was growing dizzier he saw just like every other natural creature, alterd by the stars will or not. he waited until he thought she wouldnt expect it then aligned her dizzy form with the cave in front of him and let go. perfict: "and they all fall down" he finished as he kicked loaw snarnas soft undertummy hard with his hind legs. she sailed siinply with a cry hard into the stone above the cave. a cascade of stone began compleately burying her. problem solved. "all so easy" deathbringer finished.
what fascinating power he didnt know existed: former ruler copperwingthefury and now little dragon follower of night fury origins, lay on his side staring aimessly at the stony roof of the cave. rather the cave he was forced to reside in because others just did not get what was right in this land. this cave until he thought otherwise was his prison. but none of this mattered to young korin at the moment. the littler fury highly resembling his father who was the very first male leader silverwingthefury, very well able in claw skills, couldnt care less. how he souldve listend to his father back then to become more alike; to be just as sinister and as intimidating when his claws matured and flew in the night like his father used to, not afraid of anything and killing it to not admit it of it did. what wouldve his name be? the leader he answerd to willingly hadnt givin him one just yet, said he needed to complete a few tasks before the moon that made him who he was now granted him it. but did silverwing ever see the power at his clawtips like his son did?
"just think" he brooded aloud leasurely as he eyed the two night furys of his currebtly insuring he didnt leave. pathetic fools; they expected him to now? two more thoughtless furys after being turned away by that albino scaled fury female and her closest friends. "a power that works across vast distances to the mind of another night fury. incredible! through our moon in the skies above, at night when the link is strongest, we can communicate all that we can wothout even opening my jaws." and indeed korin had done so. not any fury could do it his leader had happily told him before hed sent korin on his way back to the nest: they needed to focus and to see the light to do so. many couldnt because thier own goals clouded and jumbled themselves up or in particular anger.
korin told loaw azeros everything he now knew and how hed thought hed failed. his leader had too mutch to korins dismay. but after this aranidae told the smaler dragon not to worry. there was another ways...three ways. all korin had to do was wait until loaw azeros forces got there. this put korins mind at rest. so it wasnt over for him. the same couldnt be said of these blind furys comprising this nest. "ill never tell" he said to himself in his prision cave with a thin smirk.
first the in his way dragoness with a bad attitude for a follower, now the boy. he really didnt need to but the scrawny thing wouldnt hurt to bend while he was here. after all hed disturbed his nap, this exhausting travel to find nona alone and without the aid like before attacking the nest with mostly reluctant night furys wishing to loyalize rather with aranidae then be led by him. this time he was alone and without allies. but it was better this way. less destraction. less bumbling questions flung his way. just action. hopefully a slow painful end to nona. show her all the held in pain he felt at the wreckage shed caused the god protectors following dragons and its purpose. now the boy. stupid thing, it still stood practically in the same spot hed last glimpsed it as it reached out an appendage to touch his black scales. it looked sad. what was there to be so sorrowful about? its death? oh deathbringer was nothing but pleased about that prospect.
"dont" it suddenly spoke. the brutish intimidating creature wondered if it understood dragonic. "i just wanted to pet you and understand nert furts. i have a compassionate heart. see? ive grown handsomely havent i? i didnt let one of my villagers arm one of yours, a big white one with a big wingspawn. you lizards are probably natures rarest creations. im different. i carry no weapon." was that why this two legged so small and defenseless as he seemed? deathbringer inhaled the air around the boy. no metal! so it told the truth? hardly matterd. maybe this brute with a murderous heart would leave this thing alive a little longer. harmless little aunt in a night furys eyes. but...something about a white night fury of large mass. the brute held back a snarl. "where?" he pressed, knowing his huge size and leisurely way he paced toward the two legged should earn him his answer. "where is she?"
the brute stopped ways from the fidgeting flesh and blood. so easy: to reach out and swat the thing away with a gentle talon or his alkaline fire. in many ways though he didnt know her that well, deathbringer likened himself outside and within to the temporary petty ragged dragoness skitiiva loaw ranak branarr; attempted to seize leadership from kahuakhaun. a female so consumed with her own vicious hatred that even the most dreadfully murderous leaders didnt mention or care about remembering, branarr killed without mutch thought, easily fell back on bitter anger. they were turned to the moons will, both fiercely dedicated to doing what was right. but whereas branarr flew off the wing, presented a horrible form, she didnt care who got in her way. deathbringer wasnt her. he was picky who his talons ended. what he hate. in this two leggeds case, who annoyed him. "where is she?" he roared impatiently at his lack of answer.
wernt his jaws working correctly? this creature dumb? "im not known for my patience. tell me! where is she if not in the nest?" the words fell deaf to deathbringers ear frills accept the possibility his flight could intercept nona. it was making him doubt the certainty of his target being in the nest. so inwardly concentrated he almost didnt see the head turning away from his and the hand edging toward his snout. the fury took a few steps back. then reared onto his hind leggs to crush this useless two legged under his weight. it wouldnt give him the answer he sought. "no listen i know and understand. im sorry if ive done something to offend a nert furt." this mightve been the end of blueflame if not fior a certain showering of flying stone and a certain soul that shouldve remained dead and the fact that he was overbalanced now presented a perfect opportunity for this at last free dragon to slam into his spines from behind. they both rolled over exchanging blows in front of blueflame.
"thought i was gone for good eh? not so! so so sorry to disappoint. this nona dragon is not here right now i am." seeing the frustration of her words rattle his scales she smirked. "i rather must admit if it were not for that blow youd be dead now. if my leader finds out i failed-" "your leader is a dizzy idiot who thinks himself the god protector itself" deathbringer roared losing his patience. "for too long now ive sat around letting his increasingly repetitive tongue talk about things in glorious detail. who let him become leader? i dont question the moon. i voice my own way of things are deeper then they are." it was true: the nadders recently converted to see truth by loaw azeros followed him instead of the two thousand or so night furys. deathbringer was out here on his own in the desert on his own mission. confidant that once nona fell the whole resistance crumbled to a few last spots of furys waiting for thier end to come. the old way to convert or kill.
so many followers had been killed, headless, so mutch vermilion spilled to preserve what was right. it disgusted deathbringer. "dragon, for a hulk like this i face your claw skills are weak and are still so" loaw anarna taunted just as she raked her cats-o-claws down under the brutes lower jaw. deathbringer gargled and coughed vermilion reeling away from loaw snarnas grinning snout. "what didnt see that coming? you are truely pathetic and i dont just mean on the outside too. i think youre too scared to properly fight like a true follower of aranidae, thats what you are: caught up out here on the sands, waiting for some lesser thing to bore you to death. possibly if you quit this mission my leader would accept you back." the brutish fury spat out a jawful of vile tasting vermilion in his jaws and glared at loaw snarna. "i have no friends, just enemies i havent killed yet."
one dragoness was very unhappy. no mater where she looked in the nest aside from copperwingthefurys cave. "where is denix?" obuekhov we evakyl arytiss, former follower of the moons first leader and copperwings father loaw okar, now nex exploaded in an unusual fit of outrage. where in draginsake was that female with additude? shed searched everywhere but no sign! "was she playing some sort of hide and find like a young dragon now all of a sudden? " she fumed ear frills plasted to her head negatively. complicated by the fact that the night furys she asked hant a clue as to what she talked about. last time she was leasurely out she found what became of the last followers tracking her. the second time was worse because no one knew it then but shed defied ruler korins order to stay behind. wasnt just because hed told her so but rather to prevent further transferance of the yellow flowers sickness flowing further by touching scales.
then again if she had not probably none would be alive today to fly the skies as they so wished. natural sickness finding out to be hazardous to night furys were not the only threats to thier existences of course: the mind trance of the moon at night usually stopped at nothing in its main fury leaders quest to purify the land and make all furys of like mind or destroy them trying. everything about thier methods reeked wrong to obuekhov, the evidence scarred all over her unattractive brown scales. as a night fury and unique case her mind link with the one who made her this way under bold and calculating leader kahuakhaun still was alive but only half. obuekhov hadnt used her power mutch now that she was a hex-fury: many didnt know about it because she didnt talk mutch about it. maybe when the twisted ambitions of the last furys and now deadly nadders fell apart and never looked up to the skues again could she tell other brother and sister dragons.
as long as a threat linked to her powers as a hex-fury remained she didnt dare. lest the newest leader turning out to be cunningly sly then she first thought absorb this discovery. all things seemed to seek that calm collected dragon "well not this" obuekhov firmed resolve. nona nor abydos, also her closest allies in this long separate scattered battles to stop the moons corruption, no sign reported they. though obuekhov secretly doubted they actually met nor talked to denix-replay mutch. the things that orange winged dragoness said sometimes. it flew obuekhov crazy! "i do indeed listen i just like caution is all. and yes i worry thank you mutch" she muttered a tad bitterly. maybe other furys didnt get how annoyingly independent she was. "sometimes i do wonder if it wasnt better for that fury to remain as a follower and see how she did then. maybe then she wouldnt be so...her. for dragonsake where is denix?" more infuriatingly so its like purposely wasnt wanting to be found.
then obuekhov paused mid-flap as a worrisome thought struck her: what if shes not even in the nest? a male fury happend to fly by and obuekhov shot a blast of weak fire to lightly fly past his startled snout. "yah you: have you seen a female, orange spots on its black wings and an attitude to wing me crazy? is she near or in the nest?" the male shook its muzzle in that sad confused way that obuekhov was irritatingly familiar with by now. it wasnt new. for over a year now these night furys had lost most of thier former selves, a few retaining what they posessed knowlege of themselves, from the abrupt fall of thier leader loaw perna/nona and choosing to believe what those furys told them snapped them free. now certain furys including copperwing had to teach them how to do it all over again. it didnt help obuekhovs constant annoyance that more then half the furys on this nest were still this helpless.
if only kahuakhaun controlled his anger a different way or saw this difereantely: loaw okar saw all this as a prime chance touse the night furys in his nest when killing the female wise ruler in front of all (another story how it all began) including a worried obuekhov. he used them like a manipulative masterful club at the other nests abd absorbed them into his leadership or destroyed them all. from kahuakhauns aggressiveness to loaw dagny perseverins murderous haltered for nona and all those she clearly considered less then her: she struck out in anger whenever she wished wherever she wished, nearly leveling the two legged allies village just to seek revenge of kahuakhaun. the fact that she hated nightlight versel but adored her previous leader loaw okar was any furys guess. how did she receive that scar?
her boldness to attack at any time during the day carelessly plotting her moves is what surprised herself nona and rogue abydos then. shed nearly killed abydos when finding out both by obuekhov and perseverin that hed hidden himself away in her followers, pretending. a clever but otherwise death-wish should perseverin find him. she did when her best closest male follower turned resistant risked his life to bear two flesh and bloods to safety, perseverin and deathbringer wishing to rip information out of them however they could. sending a skrill after them to battle her and nona nearly was thier downfall. a freed loaw dagny later told her that shed tracked down the skill herself to reason with it so it could be released from her own transfiguration. not sience has that skrill been found.
from perseverin to snodussen: otherwise known as obuekhovs best most knowledged fighter still alive nona. it tore like ice shards inside the muddy brown scaled hex-furys insides to hear this information from deathbringer trying to investigate where theyd disappeared to. second leader loaw dagnys freed self only confirmed its sincerity. to have a female that loaw okar sent her out to assassinate, alive and resisting the moons influence through night furys that desperately try to sly or influence her mind after four years, suddenly fall from perseverins ambush. to become the very thing she denied wanting to be. after all this time...shed become one of 'the others' at long (unwilling) last, but not just a follower. the gd protector made her thier leader. merciless cunning combined with no heart to destroying rather then converting. in some ways that hurt more, the little games of the mind she liked to play, sutch as letting obuekhov live just to threaten to call her nothing and slay the first leaders pure uninfluenced son.
theyd all stopped her luckily in time to prevent he that final battle a year ago from falling talons on copperwingthefury. things were better now...accept for the fact korin was now fully tranced as well. what were they to do with the little creature? and now aranidae the fourth leader of the followers was arisin to take loaw pernas place. obuekhov didnt know or had seen mutch of this dragon recently. though her allies tol her he didnt seem to be all that large, rather small and not as ominous. he made up for that with his mezmorising way of twisting words so anyone believed him. more a plotting type. but his plans had been more complicated then any past leades could think alone. he boldend the followers. so this leader was most dangerous indeed. and undoubtedly the dragon she lookded for denix was out there in the thick of it. he was the one denix toyed with once before and got badly hurt because of it.
obuekhov wasnt impressed with her ability to listaning to rationality. or more so her careless high and mighty lack of. there were many ways to free night furys obuekhov knew. also more ways down the path to seduction: she hoped denix wasnt trapped in one of those. she took flight out of the nest. something about her disappearance beyond normal. she sensed danger linked to denix-replay. and it wasnt natural. no other fury should notice her absence anyway.
the younger furys meanwhile had heard nor seen anything siense that time the flash and blood and female dragon ran/padded past at fast speeds. did anyone even see them back here? apparently not from the dismissive looks if any thrown thier way. they were lost woth litle direction home and possibly no way for someone to care for them like they were used to. one whined that it was hungry. not very lickly that a meal would wriggle fly or scurry into thier jaws on a whim. maybe the other side of the cave could lend them some answers or a meal. somehow though sand didnt appear very appetizing. fumbling thier young paws along the way in the not so darkness maze of caves eventually harolded the light ahead. thier night fury orbs quickjly ajuated to it. what they came upon made the four swish thier tails in surprise in astinishment. a two leggedsback was to them the same soul theyd seen pelting past earlier and a mess of wings tails and talons smacking into eachother with each clash in the air. what a fight!
of curse they didnt get the severity of thier situation or that thier mothers over and over told them of the two leggeds unpredictability. was it right to assume not all were so mean? the third one, ear plates cautiously flat agains its head, approached from behind when the human turned suddenly and saw them. it tried scrambling away but the look in its eyes one of comfort and reassurance shown beneath the hedge of ebon hair. "aww arnt you and the others sooo cute! hey dont escape ill be nice and reassuring. you sem scared. come. come here. i will not harm." blueflame held up his hand so no metal tooth it saw then beckoned with it invitingly. in that amazing moment one that resonated with two deranged night furys fighting eachother in the background and he felt its snout trustingly touch his arm. "woah" he mumbled amazingly.
a loud crash accompanied by a shower of sand made blueflame blink and cover his eyes. "i hate the desert" he grumbled straining to see. what greeted him made him feel like slightly earlier how the large male had slapped his hand away and attempted to crush him. nor had he barely moved to avoid the female 'nert furts' exploading prision of rock in time. the male lay growling its language at the yellow under-sided female his legs pinned her to the ground. she hissed something back. then she raked at his jaws again and kicked sand into is muzzle with her freed wings. he snorted strained and she wormed free of it. blueflame felt raher then saw the four littler probably lost 'nert furts' inching up behind him. the curly haired vikings earlier quicki sharp eyed study of them doubted these two adult 'nert furts' were thier mother judging by thier scaled hides. then sudenly the black dragon charged her, bringing a massive frontal paw to bear on her yellow sensative orbs, clawing lines into her right eye.
she stumbled and he seemingly horrifyingly flipped her onto her side to blast her repeatedly in the stomach with fire. her cries of pain rapidly quieted to muffled whines then silenced altogether. without warning he spun at the boy and furys with a whirl of batlike wings and tailflaps. "no!" blueflame boldly expressed as sternly as manageable. "no youre not slaying these little nert furts. not now not ever." something in its gleaming expression ways from blueflame told him maybe that wasnt exactly how to address a 'nert furt'but he didnt care: they wernt harming four innocent motherless dragons. not if the twenty year old viking said anything abiout it. before he had the chance to so anything, the ebon huge dragon male rushed him, roaring something not understandable to him, a claw lashed out at him blindingly quick.
he diudnt know if the paw had its talons sheathed but all blueflame saw after that was oblivion. blueflame thought he tasted something odd in his mouth but wasnt sure what. a different cry of animal life screeched above. the young man looked up dizzily from the blow the black one had delt to his face and neck, catching a glimpse of another sleek shape all brown this time diving toward him. the black furious muzzle turned away from him to observe the new arrival as well. "huh another merciful end to life" the viking inturn thought dizzily, then pitched forward onto a cushion of shifting sand and did not rise again.
minutes earlier deathbringer up until now had been ignoring the flesh and blood. but hed caught occasional glimpses of its observing little eyes watching how he and this converted loaw snarna fight eachother. he really mustnt have that. the pesky irritants were already getting underpaw, to have the things learn better ways to cause havoc? unacceptable! sure there were many of them but they wernt mutch of a great threat. more the night fury taunting him every step of the way. did she really want his outright anger to show? that wasnt proper for a dragon of his manner the brute knew. he refused to be like ranak branarr. loaw snarna had gotten to fly at him in the air using the powerd thrusts of her wings. "sweetheart, i grow tired of your little games. youve scoured some lucky hits to my bleeding jaws, me your eyes. isnt it time we finish it?" he laughed with a rare flare of pleasure. deathbringer sensed she was weaker then him and tiring quickly. "truly in the small amount of time youve become like us aranidae hasnt tought you well."
"i was just about to say the same thing in return" she sniffed with that core of hidden sarcasm. "accept you said it fist witch is totally unfair but saves me the breath." deathbringer again was distracted mere seconds by the observing two legged and this time saw four little night furys standing in the shadows behind him. how did they get there? they traded clawswipes and fireballs until the brutish dragon finally saw the opportunity hed been eyeing: he rushed in and forced her onto the sand with a harsh slam. muffling her grunt of pain from the things treacherous attack earlier, she braced herself fir his weight but this tank was sure a burden. "must be a pity when you want to stand up" she muttered just as he slammed her back to the sand. a perfit chance to dig some claws of hers into his vulnerable undertummy now. but the favorite today belonged to the brute this time. without a quip or comment while pinning her down she whipped sand up his snout. he coughed allowing her to almost wrigle free. she was admittedly good at that.
but he was bored of her stale plans at evasion. time to finish it. deathbringer, recovering mutch of his sight as able, rushed denix again and successfully claws into the right side of her face. right into the yellow eye. she screeched in agony. but he wasnt done with her yet. aranidae sent her to find him? then hed send her back in tatters, assuming she survived what he was about to do to her. "aggh the painnnnn the painnnnn!" she shrilled piercingly loud in his ear plats making him wince inwardly. such a thoroughly annoying creature. time to shut her up: his strength and a muffled growl to shove her over, loaw snarna was writhing on the sand on her exposed side, whining quieter but still crying out. at last the moment of victory he might well as savor momentarily then sadly move on to...other things. or dragons. "and now it ends" leered a victorious brute about to do so. "then end it!" screeched an in pain loaw snarna like she purely wished for him to do it, a taunt to himself to dare him.
unfortunately for her he didnt mutch hesitate for completing what she asked for. wordlessly he shot alkaline fire into her undertummy over until her cries became weaker. doing it one mire time he turned away from what he thought should surely be dead by now. if not it didnt matter for she was far beyond flying up anyway to challenge the might of deathbringer again. now the other matter lurking nearby. gathering himself he launched at the flesh and blood with the a first glance cowardly night furys huddling close to its legs. as if thatd save them. "stubborn" the god protectors voice chose to lance flatly into deathbringers head at that moment making him tilt his head lightly in that odd way wghen they tried to listen to its thought speak. "but usssseful. the leader issss capable but your preseance here issssss ussseful for the plansss in mind. go desssstroy the human with clawssss and teeth complete your desssstiny." the fact it didnt scorn, if it could do so, for his ability to reject loaw azeros as a compitant leader but have him do what the brute did best was great.
this is what those night furys should be fouced on, not killing one another off because of clashing views or letting the resistance pick them off. thinking ahead got one somewhere in this ultimate goal through the moons will. "i shall do it without question after all its you who made me who i am and the weakness before back in the nest (another story of nightflight and nona) was most unpleasant" the brute found his bleeding hurting jaws saying aloud in answer. "no" the creature chose to boldly say to him. who was this two legged who disturned his nap in the first place to tell the unstoppable deathbringer what to do? "no youe not slaying these little nert furts. not now not ever!" lashing out with a claw came the words the brute eagerly barbed at this annoying thing: "are you still here ant? then love no longer!" his massive left paw with claws extended like sowards whipped into the things chin as viciously as he managed; a satisfactory flood of vermilion coating that paw.
the thing didnt go down with his first leasurely swipe. mmm maybe a second time, though he did see hed done gleeful damage to the boy. he never got a second chance: a roar from above caused the brute to panic slightly. no loaw snarna couldntve arisin so sudden. but no the shape wasnt moving nut alternately from the air. deathbringers disgust grew. not another dragon to deal with. her form became more familliar as it rocketed the boys way screeching with what he sensed was horror. he wasnt too startled when the human fell over onto the sand hard and didnt move as the brown scaled recognizable female landed nearly on top of him, opaning her ugly brown wings to shield and wrap around the boy. ah he understood now: she was protecting him from the likes of this dragon. but now he fully recalled who she was nor impressed to find her all the way out here. he saw her ducking her head into her wings, cooing something to it before glaring around to see whod been responsible. she found it quickly enough. "deathbringer? you?"
"ah obuekhov arytiss. i remember that name now as well as the nervous dragoness it belonged to. i recall that name a year ago. if foolish perseverin hadnt swooped into save your scrawny hide id have killed you back then. lucky you still live. the worrisome one, muttering the end of the night furys shall stay rebellious forever, forced to folllow the orders of fools like korin." she flattend her ear frills tensely. she lowed herself closer to the flesh and blood she so jealously protected. "were not slave dragons to anyone. we are free and led by a night fury with tact to get us where we need to go. what do you know about korin?" deathbringer was happy to provide.
"not mutch...yet. aranidae never tells me anything useful. why i do not follow that talkative bore with wings anymore. but lll say this. korins father was a coward. loaw okar never had that determination to keep true to the god protectors directive once his eyes landed on nightflight. it was all about him. his obsession with versel was his death at the claws of one of your do gooders. its why me and a few others allowed ourselves to obey every order no matter how simple. if only to see her become the next true leader. everything wouldve been perfect." he eyed the unmoving form of denix-replay hed just silenced. obuekhovs eyes widened further at this discovery then awong back to deathbringer narrowing. she hissed at him. "but the lokes of your blinded furys had to wing in and ruin everything. i wasnt there to find out how exactly she died but i blame it all on nona. and for that she must be ended. loaw snarna was foolish enough already to challenge my might as a follower. are you ignorant enough to test my strength as well?"
the dragoness was rapidly approaching a place where she might die of fright right there on the tail. what did he say? the dragoness loaw snarna? that sounded terribly close to what a tranced furys added title seemed. didnt he mean the dragoness obuekhov was searching for everywhere, denix-replay? how did all this happen without the nest hearing about it? this was just awful news crashing down like water on obuekhov. of all dragons this one? he probably killed denix. and this two legged shed seen so many times by now. what was he doing clear out in this hot desert? the talon-marks all over him. it was gruesome to look at. torn between rushing over to see what life if any flowed inside her or remain shielding this injured but alive boy. "heh i didnt think so" hissed that voice "you can keep your little human to yourself. ive wasted enough time here. lt it enjoy its last few moments of life. as for loaw snarna, if she eve lives through what i did to her sorry self she can claw back to aranidae begging to be spared or cry into your blinded furys tails like a fool."
he took to his wings in a dramatic flapping of huge appendages. h grinned down at the sad assembled group of beings below, some not quite alive. "though id recon your kind doesn't take kindly to welcome ours into your nest. ethier way shes as good as i ever see she has the arrogance to find me again i shall kill her without regret, smirking taunts or not. before i take wing to my destination wher is nona may i ask?" obuekhovs threatening response came out in one word: "burn." deathbringer nodded still smiling. "i thought youd might say that. no matter i shall find her. do not worry yourself about it obuekhov arytiss. i will in the end. i hope we meet again, your friend paid the price, you shall too even if i have to rip the life from your eyes. i am the fire. i am your worst nightmare." and calling that last ominous threat over his shoulder deathbringer was gone leaving obuekhov worrying more then ever, and two not quite living should behind. it was going to be a long night for that female.
the unique sounds of a set of spines clicking open and shut against overlapping of multicolored scales came from behind the away facing figure. he had quickly learned one of two things to that sound: either it meant that they were unleashing thier spines to fling at an enemy like killing near invisible darts, or a sign of impatience. the spiked tailed figure sure hoped it was th second or the god protector would somehow strike that slaying deadly nadder down. korin or whatever the yong dragon fury so resembling his father loaw okar kahuakhaun had at last mind linked to his own calculating one to tell him the outcomes. so the dragness his followers had captured originally found about this follower first? the figure learned mutch from that little dragon but it changed nothing. and yet he also expected loaw snarna mandalore to return. hed asked her to destroy deathbringer, the massive black scaled brute that hed thought obeyed him.
seems his mind housed a more...active approach then hed thought. it was time to weed out the stale and strengthen the bold. more them time to be rid of him. she had yet to flap back to him and return to tell of it. perhaps the ebon scaled night fury thought a bit sadly, his newest at first defiant but now loyal follower, wouldnt return at all. foretelling whod been the victor of that battle between loaw snarna and the targed he wished eliminated. no need to be worried about it or give up yet, better be calm and let time come fourth. "so" spoke up deadly nadder sabrinathemorpher behind the figure. she hardly ever spoke but since the transition of her and the other nadders she called brothers or sisters she was now dedicated to this drgon before her, the last known night fury left, her leader. "there are other night furys. heh i shouldve set off myself to disipline the one you ask dead. not some female we captured for you."
the figure did not turn to face the speaker. "no one impales or lays paws on that dragon. no one. accept her. and not until after i have the eyes of the one who betrayed my orders to stay and plot. and i will have it" loaw azeros aranidae commented with a slight upturn of his toothless retracted gums, regarding his nadder with a completely confidant catlike orb.
