Chapter 3
Silas continued throughout the forest with the Chameleos for a while. Both staying quiet for a long while. The Chameleos making an occasional grunt of discomfort as having its mouth and front legs tied up.
They finally began to approach another clearing. Close to the camp, but extremely well hidden. Silas decided this might be the best spot, besides the Chameleos own camouflage ability's.
He looked at the Chameleos and said, I know you may or may not understand me but,he made hand signals as he went along trying different ways to get the Chameleos to understand, I need you to stay here.
The Chameleos then moved its head up and down, possibly showing some level of understanding.
Silas, Took a breathe before reaching up and beginning to untie its muzzle.
When it finally came off, Silas prepared to leap incase it attacked again.
The Chameleos just stood there, eyeing him. Silas then bent over and began to untie it front limbs.
When Silas finished he sat in front of the Elder dragon. Both stared at each other for some time.
Finally the Chameleos began to lay down. Still eyeing Silas, who in return did the same.
Eventually he heard a rumble from the creatures belly. The Chameleos stared at Silas, almost like a stare of hunger now instead of one of wariness. Silas simply decided to give it some Aptonoth meat he had reserved to make stakes later.
He laid the raw meat in front of the Chameleos, who still eyed Silas suspiciously.
When Silas backed away a bit. The Chameleos lashed its tongue at the meat. Dragging it into its mouth, and chewing for a few moments before swallowing. It then dived into the meat. Filling itself plump.
When Silas decided it was time to go he quickly stood up. The Chameleos eyeing him again as it chewed.
When he reached the exit of the clearing he turned and saw the Chameleos had turned and went to sleep. Smiling, Silas left the clearing and went back to the caravan, and left for Val habar.
...
When they finally arrived at Val habar, he was exhausted from all that had happened. And now he was supposed to check on a Chameleos once or twice a week. And he was going to have to help Zane, and the others find a cure for the frenzy, and stop the Gore Magala from spreading it.
At least he had an idea of where to tell Zane, or Ivy to start looking for it. Honestly he wanted it captured, and put in a super isolated ecosystem. But from what he had read. That wasn't going to happen.
Silas took a deep sigh. He wished Ova was here. Her advice would have helped greatly at this point.
Silas knew he would have to tell one of that group about this little encounter with the frenzy, but he would leave out a few details., including the Chameleos.
Silas decided he'd deal with it the next day. He needed rest, as did Lucky.
Silas laid down on the bed, preparing to rest when he saw the letter on his steps
He got up and grabbed the letter. Opening and reading it. He was exited by what he saw.
...
It had been three long months healing from that wound. He couldn't believe how stupid he had been. He was lucky the mistress hadn't fed him to her ''pets", unlike the poachers and the zamtrios armored hunter.
He looked down at where the hole had been in his silver sol armor. Only blocked by a dragonite covering now. Luck, that was the only reason he was alive. The arrow had barely missed his heart, but instead had sent him into shock.
He stopped musing to himself. He was approaching the bosses room.
When he walked in there were shadows about the room. Some were seemingly moving. In the middle sat a huge Throne, in it clearly the shape of a woman in Lunastra armor. Shadows covering her face. Beside her a large blue and green lance sat resting. And by her side,a Gendrome and a Giadrome chained and muzzled. Personal trophy's she'd stolen from nests, around. And those were the weak ones she had.
He was terrified, she only had the drones when she was making a demonstration. He prayed it wasn't going to be him.
The woman spoke, you know exactly why you're here don't you.
She leaned forward just enough to show two menacing yellow eyes.
The Dromes began to stir.
Ugh, yes mam, I'm here for my failure to bring you a dire blast heart from a recently died Molten Tigrex my lady, he replied.
Yes, she said, and why isn't it here in my collection, right now.
She pointed to a wall. Covered in gems and valuable monster parts.
Because of the interference of two hunters, he stuttered,one who is currently wearing armor and weapons made of that same molten...
Then tell me, what was so hard about exterminating them? Hmm.
He felt he knew what was going to happen.
Let me remind you what happens to those who fail me.
She snapped her fingers, two men wearing Kaiser x armor walked in dragging the limp form of a man that he immediately recognized. The mercenary John.
They looked at each other, and John began screaming to him.
You've got to help me, their gonna kill me, their gonna feed me to those freaks of nature. Please help me.
It was obvious that he was terrified.
The woman said to the men, chain him to the ground and leave.
The two simply nodded and finished their work.
Now, the woman said, she pressed a button on the throne. Immediately the chains on the drones unlocked, their muzzles coming off. They quickly stood up and approached the most helpless thing in the room.
As they approached John began screaming more and more, finally begging for his life
The Gendrome was the first to act, biting into his throat, ripping it open and silencing him. The two monsters began to tear into him. Ripping him apart and feasting. Fresh blood dripping from their fangs.
The two men stood at ready should the drones make a move toward their lady.
Now that you've been reminded the reprimand of failure in my commanders, the woman said, I feel you should get a new assignment.
He simply nodded.
Good,the woman said, you and a small group will go to the city of Dundorma and capture the woman who helped ruin my little plot.
Yes, mam, he replied.
Remember Dundorma is well defended from both us as well as monsters, get going Miller, the woman said,or else.
The man now known as Miller simply bowed and fled the room as fast as possible.
The woman finally turned and said,poor fool will die soon anyways.
You two, she said to the guards, Get those animals back in their cages, and get three Gravios ready, we'll send them towards Dundorma when Miller is due to arrive.
The men nodded and grabbed the drones by their necks. Inhumanly dragging them into the corridor behind her throne.
"What man", she thought," is ruining my beautiful plans".
This man who wore what she should have right now, had continually spoiled plan after plan. She had finally decided she was going to deal with him herself.
She was going to Val habar, with one of her most trusted groups.
Whoever this guy was she planned on killing him slowly. Miller would die in the Gravios attack. And the woman wasn't even a target. She had almost done her a favor.
She smiled to her self menacingly, besides Millers target was nowhere near Dundorma and was heading straight to Val habar.
Right into the dragons den, she whispered to herself.
She began laughing hysterically.
...
I know its a bit shorter. But I have a little something planned, that needs to be in one chapter. This one was made to show the real leader and how the man in silver sol armor survived thanks to her. Won't really matter though will it. The other chapter is already in progress and will be updated in about a week or less.
