P.S: Language warning
Terrible Terrors POV
The sun was almost down already, I was running out of time to find a hiding place. No even if I hide they'll find me they always Always find their target if they don't they get their target by deadline then they hunt again this time for no pay, instead they make it even more gruesome. Suddenly a voice spoke out "Hello Terror..We only have ten minutes to eliminate you...Your good at running but you obviously know no-one can out run two night furies" it said
"Shit!" I cursed "Why must you hunt me down! I ain't done nothing wrong!" I exclaimed
"Our client says different" another voice said "Says you've been feeding their enemy clan some information about weak points in the land and places to invade ways to capture your alpha and things like that"
"You are just lucky we managed to get the dragons you just met with before they got back to their clan...So...What to do with you" the previous wondered, I could feel sweat dripping down my face as a sudden rush of wind past me. Slowly, I looked behind me to find a silhouette with piercing red eyes staring back at me " Boo" it whispered, I screamed and turned to run but another figure was there this time with acid green eyes which turned to yellow the closer they got to the middle. This was it my life over. I turned back to the red eyed one " Just make it quick" I sighed, hanging my head in defeat "Wish granted" it said before I could feel the dragon behind me lifting me up the one in front nodded " This won't hurt at all" the one who was holding me said his deep voice sounded slightly comforting when suddenly my neck tilted a bit to the left and a loud crack was heard but I didn't feel any pain. Then I could feel my eyes roll back into my skull and...
Shade POV
"Well that's that!" I said while beginning to walk away, my brother laid the body down for any animal to just come and take it "So...What do you think we'll get for the terror?" he asked
"Eh...Not much...Considering we forgot to set our price" I sighed, it was priority one to make a deal for each target we got and yet we somehow forgot it "Right...I'm still blaming you for that..." he grumbled as he jogged up to join me
"...Shut up..." I mumbled "Lets just get back as quick as possible we're almost late!" I quickly recovered to avoid an argument. My brother nodded and we began sprinting "Race?" he grinned
"The usual" I responded as we left the ground and began flying at high speeds in order to reach our destination as soon as possible. While flying I took the short time we had to admire the beauty of tonight's sky, the bleak night sky made it nearly impossible to spot us due to our dark scales the only way to spot us would be through the stars as we past them however I doubt that would ever happen for rarely any dragons have eye sight that precise. As we began to close in on the dragon village just over the hill, my brother decided to change the rules slightly "If you lose your going to have to do it to the first female we come across!" he yelled, I did not fancy doing 'it' to any other dragon that isn't a night fury
"Screw you bro! I'm winning this then!" I called back before increasing my speed as did my brother. We were now soaring across the village, nearing a sonic boom however seeing as our employer was waiting on a cliff edge I slowed slightly and charged a plasma blast releasing a loud piercing sound alerting them we were here I fired it out on the grass where it shaped a large circle of fire tell them that was where we would land and seeing as they moved slightly back I knew they knew what we were going to do. The fact that I had to slow down to fire that plasma shot made opened a chance from my brother to win and he being as smart as he is, he took it without hesitation diving straight down into the circle of flames "HEY!" I screamed as I dove down trying to catch up however...It was too late he had already touched the ground skidding in to place "Heh" he chuckled as I skid in front of him "Dude that was just...Just!..."I couldn't find the right words so I let out an annoyed groan instead
"Well I guess you should start getting ready after we talk to our employer" he replied cocky as ever
"You still haven't told me who our employer is" I reminded him, he simply smirked at me "What?"
"I see you two just made it..." A feminine voice purred, we turned to where to sound came from to see a red dragoness a Red Blazer to be more precise came through the ring of flames. Now, a Red Blazer was one of the most dangerous dragons around even more so than a Monstrous Nightmare but not more dangerous than night furies(Of course). A Red Blazer could summon fire to their bodies at any given moment much like a Nightmare but a Blazer's flame was more wild and harder to control which is why the cubs are always bathed with saliva a Red Blazers saliva has special properties which can stop other Blazers from lighting them selves if bathed twice everyday. Of course their flames are red and burn slightly hotter than a Nadders and the thing that makes these dragons special is their shot limit which is higher than any other dragon even night furies! Their shots are like plasma shots but are still more wild and dangerous just one shot can pierce a dragons skin. The body of a red blazer is similar to that of a night fury only with a slightly longer wingspan, thicker wings, their body mainly consists of different shades of red, instead of ear plates they have horns but still have those smaller sensors and often females have orange eyes that fall into a shade of red "Hello? Earth to Shade?" I was quickly snapped back to reality by Shadow who seemed slightly embarrassed for me "What?" I realized before I began recollecting everything I knew about Red Blazers my eyes were locked on to our employer...I must have been staring this whole time! To check if my suspicions were correct I looked over to the Blazer in question who seemed to be giving me a questioning stare "Well...erm...Hello Shade...My name is Wildfire and I am your employer..." she paused "I believe everything must have gone well then?" she inquired obviously trying to break the awkwardness
"Yeah...yeah...Sorry that took so long...Terrors can run rather fast I suppose you already know that right?" I explained, she nodded
"And that particular Terror was quite small so it could hide virtually anywhere so it was kind of difficult to track..." my brother added
"Well...Now I understand why it took you two so long...Well done Shadow and Shade...You do know you never set a price...Or if you did Shadow had not remembered to mention it to me so I could give you to nothing..." she paused slightly as if she was contemplating it "But...I'll give you something for your troubles...You discuss what you want...I'm sure I can arrange for it to be sent for you..." she smiled slightly "I imagine you'll need some time to figure out what you want...You come find me when you've decided" she added before turning and walking away at a leisurely pace, she knew it wouldn't take us long
"Dude we shouldn't get anything too rich" I told my brother.
"Why not? She did say we could get anything" he replied, I sighed he could be so thick some times
Okay first of all we forgot to set a price meaning she could have just left us with nothing but we're lucky she decided not to...You following?" he nodded slightly "Also it's just a terror man, they aren't that hard to catch and they rarely put up a fight..."
"Okay I see your point" he interrupted "Lets go get her" I grinned and turned back towards Wildfire to find she had disappeared from sight already "Come on!" I said before running in the direction we last saw her my brother trailing not far behind. In a matter of minutes we had caught up to her it seemed she had stopped walking and began gliding instead "Hey!" I called up to her, she took notice of us running beneath her before neatly landing in front of us just as we stopped "Well?" she asked
"You see...We've been getting a lot missions recently with tougher dragons so we've been getting a lot of marks and scratches from them so we need a few plants with healing properties for some remedies so...Do you know of any plant that we could have?" I asked, to be honest it was difficult trying to put all those words together and we did keep on getting into fights each one more bloodier than the last so we do get a lot of marks and scratches in fact last fight Shadow got a fractured knee cap due to loss of blood while fighting so he had to lay in the cave for awhile so something to stop wounds from being re-opened would help so technically...I wasn't lying "A plant...That's it?" she asked, Shadow and I nodded "Well guess I can get that...I'll personally deliver it to you later tonight when I find the one I have in mind..."
"Well thanks then...We'll be looking forward to it..." Shadow grinned before turning around and lifting off
"Yeah...See ya later!" I quickly said before going to catch him up forgetting about informing her where she could find us...Eh, she seemed like she knew where we live "What are you grinning about?" I asked Shadow
"Oh you know...The bet on the race...First female you see..." he winked at me and realization slammed me in the face, so hard in fact it even caused me to temporarily stop moving making me drop slightly "Wha-What! Dude no NO! You know we don't do it with employers!" I recovered from my state of shock
"We made a bet you have to live up to it or you break the brother's code!" he laughed, I looked down remembering the brother's creed that we live by
"Fine...When she comes over tonight just...leave the upstairs section alone awhile" I sighed
"Good boy!" he chuckled, as I continued looking down I noticed we were already flying over the sea our island wasn't too far now you see my brother and I being assassinators had to find our own island to inhabit that and every where we went we intimidated everyone in the area so since we didn't want our neighbors to be intimidated or fear us (For the time being) we left in search of a new island. Lucky for us there happened to be a nice secluded island just off the main lands and it appeared to be uninhabited so we built our home in one of the stone mountains blasting away every room until we had our own complex home. I was broken out of my thoughts once again by Shadow calling out "We're here!" as soon as he said that the island came into view the only thing noticeable was the forest. We quickened our pace as we scouted the island for any unwanted visitors before landing in front of a large cave "Home sweet home" Shadow sighed before walking inside I quickly looked back to check if there was anything out of the ordinary then followed him inside. He shot a plasma blast at one of the sticks we had hung on the wall using vines instantly setting it ablaze for giving out some light towards the room "Shade help me with the lights..." he asked after lighting another stick
"Yeah yeah..."I groaned before helping out. Soon we had lit up the whole room and before I forget I need to explain our home, you see we had a vision for a cave and we didn't stop until we had fulfilled that dream our cave is one of the most complex shelters a dragon could have we had three floors the top was divided in to four sections there were two small sections both with a rock slab with fur covering it to sleep on (One section for each of us) one section where there was a hole through the roof letting rain through and into a small dip where it filled with water for us to wash ourselves in and another empty section where we practiced techniques on each other(In other words where we fight each other). The middle floor(The one we're on right now) only had three sections the entrance way which was just a large long room leading to the steps that lead to the top and bottom floor, our food storage where we kept food and our meeting room where on occasion when employers came to talk to us we would all gather in that room. Now the bottom floor had about five sections, one where we store our plants(Healing, poisoning and so on)in dirt another where we keep any equipment we would need, (Eels, A human shield, vines, more sticks and vegetation we use to cover wounds so enemies can't see any weak spots) an emergency room with a quick hidden escape route, then there's a torture section we use when we need to get answer and last but not least a fur covered section we use just to relax. "SNAP OUT OF IT!" I was quickly brought out of my thoughts for the THIRD time that night and it was really getting annoying "What!" I snapped back
"What's been with you tonight? You keep on floating off into your own world and if I didn't know any better I'd think you were going crazy!" Shadow said irritation in his voice. 'Hell I don't know what's going on either it's like my head just forgets what it's doing and decides to explain something' I wanted to say that but I feared I may get put down for therapy again so instead I said "Relax I'm alright just been...Thinking" I was lucky he bought that
"So like I asked before what do you want to do now?"
"I dunno...Guess we could practice for awhile" I suggested already making my to the steps Shadow following close behind.
A few hours later
Still Shade POV
"Whoa Hold up!" I told Shadow just as he pounced, I barely managed to dodge leaving him to crash head first in to the wall I winced as his head made contact with the wall "What was that for!" he growled struggling to get up. I sighed and walked over to help him up "We have a visitor" I said finally getting him up on his paws "Right lets go down and greet them then" he said as he took a shaky foot forward I stood next to him as a support
"Lean on me" I commanded, he instantly obliged putting most of his weight on me. Within several minutes and with some difficulty we were in front of our visitor which happened to be the Red Blazer, WildFire, from before in front of her was a black plant with several small spikes pointing out of its stalk "Hello again" she greeted
"Hello" Shadow and I simultaneously said
"I've brought you the plant, if eaten in small bites it should ease pain drastically over dose could result in the injury getting worse to the point where it kills you" she explained. I nodded and made a move to fetch the plant but was stopped by a forearm I looked over at Shadow "I'll get it...You need to get her upstairs" he whispered before slowly making his way to the plant being careful with every step he took the tip of the stalk in his mouth and made his way to the steps leading to the bottom section. Once he was out of view I turned back to see WildFire leaving "Hey wait!" I called. She turned back her eyes wide
"Yes?" she inquired. I swallowed the lump in my throat hoping this would come out right
"I...Erm...Need you to follow me to the top floor so I can...Discuss some...Important matters with you" I quickly put together. Her eyes narrowed slightly "Please?" I quickly added in a last attempt and to my relief she came back inside
"Alright then lead the way" she said.
Shadow POV
After I had placed the plant in our plant room I carefully made my way up the steps to find that there was no-one on the middle floor so instead I made my way to the top floor to see if Shade had actually done what had been asked however, the closer I got to the top the more sounds I heard it wasn't clear what was being said but I could tell that the Blazer was there as well. I stayed a little bit trying to decipher what was being said, it wasn't until the purring started I decided to leave happy with was happening I went to the middle floor and laid on the floor before falling asleep.
That morning(When the sun had appeared in the sky)
I was woken abruptly when Shade and WildFire decided come down from their activities I laid back down and tried to seem as asleep as possible "Well when you said you wanted to talk I wasn't expecting anything like that" she said, Shade chuckled at that
"Well as long as you enjoyed and I'm happy" he replied then I heard a soft purr then they said their soon as I heard flapping of wings I opened my eyes "So...How'd it go?" I asked, Shade looked at me with a large grin on his face
"Shut up"
Well here we go...I hope this is alright...I started this a few months ago but never actually got the chance to finish it but I hope it makes sense seeing how I got to a part and just couldn't continue after it for a few months...So yeah I'm going to leave it to your imagination to figure out what Shade and WildFyre were doing upstairs...So I don't know how long it'll take me to update this seeing how I've got other projects to finish and upload/update...But for now see ya.
