The Once Dying Breed: Destiny-Book One
Chapter Nine
Dejanira and Electra flew into the air, Evangeline riding with Adonis.
"Where are we going?" asked Adonis.
"Somewhere where Malus won't find us," said Evangeline.
"We'll go to the nearest town and the rest we'll go on horseback," said Deiphobus.
They flew over the forest and landed where the forest ended. The dragons dropped them off and flew into the forest for safety. Adonis, Deiphobus and Evangeline then walked into the nearest village. The village was scarce and there were very few people. They found a small inn that had been poorly taken care of,
"We're probably going to have to get one room, due to the events that happened earlier," said Deiphobus.
Deiphobus paid for the room, and they went to a shack that was called a room. There were a few beds in the room, the walls and floor completely filthy.
"My god has anyone here learned to clean?" grumbled Adonis.
"Shut up Adonis, be glad you're not dead," said Deiphobus.
Evangeline was still a little mad and sat on the bed, "How could you not let me kill Maius? He's still going to come after me, and he won't stop till he gets what he wants?" she said with anger in her voice.
"But he's a person Ethne, letting Maius go will be good for you," said Adonis.
"You do not realize what you've just done Adonis, you just don't," said Evangeline, and then she blew out the candle and went to sleep.
Back at Calaïus Lord Malus got onto his dragon Alecto, "I'm going to see the king to inform him on the recent events. You two stay here and devise a new plan of action," said Malus.
"Of course sir," said Maius.
Alecto flew into the air with its rider to the red sunset towards Lord Tereus' castle. The sun began to rise for a new morning by Odiosus forest. Adonis, Evangeline and Deiphobus bought a few horses,
"Where are we off to?" asked Adonis.
"There is a place where we can seek refuge for the time being. With the wood elves we will go," said Deiphobus.
They all got onto their horses and rode northeast to the valley to meet with the elves.
