Dawn chapter 4
It didint take long to rouse the elves. The young where inside, while the adults stood ready to fight. Of corse, ruby and elva where allowed to partake, but they where made to stay at the back of the small army. Like ruby predicted, the band of humans arrived at night fall and the battle began. A first it seemed the humans would win through sheer brute force, until the elves managed a final push and more then half the band of humans where slain. Ruby and elva, partook in the fight, ruby using her razor sharp teeth and claws, and elva her bow and knife. After forty minutes the fighting was dying down, and ruby began to let her guard down as exhaustion washed over her in great waves.
The attack came from the right. A man with a very long knife lunged at ruby, and her being weakend already by her being tired, she was not fast enough to avoid him, and was stabbed twice in the side before she could turn and kill her attacker. Again, another man, bound in metal armor rushed at her, managing a very deep cut in her frount right leg before she could dispatch him. She roared in pain and limped to the nearest house. She used a pile of logs as a ramp and took flight to take the pressure off her injured leg, but felt the searing pain from her side as she opened her wings. Whimpering, she continued to fly until the battle was over, the elves having won. When the last human was said, she landed, with a loud yelp as her injured leg took a part of the impact of her landing. At the sound of her pained yelp, all elves within hearing distance turned to her and saw she was bleeding, and Began to panic, for fear of lousing they're hope. Elva rushed to her dragons side and told them to leave her be, and led the injured dragon inside. Ruby laid down as soon as she could to take pressure from her bad leg while elva wrapped gauze around it, and taped it in place, doing similar to her side so the bleeding stopped.
