Just thought it would be nice to stress what exactly happened to me when I was beginning to write this chapter.
On a more positive note I got a new Sketchpad thingy now… it's pretty cool.
REVEIWS.
Noctus Fury: Relax, Heathers ok alright? Shes not going to be no Antagonist, yet I don't think I can class her as a Protagonist either…. And you want to know something interesting? She is NONE of those things you have just listed (Unless you count snob as being a bit up herself) in this story so you can relax. As for the Witch, well she's from the books. How many people do you think have read the Books?
Monkeys are pretty shit heads aren't they? Glad I'm not related to them… *Looks at family picture* on second thought….
As for the Shield, yes it was magic; I'm not going to keep that a secret. But I want you to ask yourself this one important question; If weapons cannot harm it, what do you think damaged the shield so badly in the first place?
Guest: Thank you. I must admit one of the main reasons I started this was to improve my writing skills, looking back at some of my previous work, I think I am achieving that.
Littlebirdy: … Alright.
Lunar Knight IV: That is great to hear, I'm not entirely sure if you have reviewed but I'm glad you have
now.
Guest: You know what? I honestly have to thankyou. You are a constant reminder that I really need to get my butt of the couch and do some bloody work. Thankyou.
FORWARD!
Hiccup POV.
You know, I think the only way I ever learned, like actually learned was through my mistakes. It would make sense considering how the cycle of my inventing goes. An idea comes along, I design something, plan it out, build it, test it, find a major flaw in the design, get chewed out by it, repeat to process whilst fixing the flaw only to find another. The annoying things about this cycle however is I would always learn one mistake at a time and It was a lot of work and had often proven to make more trouble than it was worth.
And judging by the spectacular crash me and Toothless shared into the long grass, this was going to be one of those cases.
I probably should have realized that simply pulling on a piece of string was a bad idea, but NOOOO I just had to think of that Bright idea.
Well at least the experience had taught me a few things. One that having a piece of string? Not a good idea. Number two beings it's pretty easy to fall of the back of a dragon, and holding on to a saddle is not as easy as it feels it should have been. The final thing was that Toothless went gaga over a certain long grass I think might be Garlic Grass, but I couldn't be certain… Apart of my however thought Dragon Nip would be a better sounding name….
What was once a proud and mighty dragon had been reduced to being as playful as a puppy and as excited as a kitten as Toothless messed around in the grass running around in it and rubbing his body against the grass. I watched stunned at my best friend's behavior until the Night Fury decided it would be best for me to join in. Toothless pushed me into the grass with little effort, the night fury began to toss me around like a rag doll, pushing and prodding until I started to (willingly) mess around with the extremely playful dragon. I was glad that the grass had acting as a layer of padding between me and the ground, because would you guess it? A few hundred pound Dragon has a habit of playing rough.
Not that I actually minded, a little more warning would have been nice but it turned out being fun in the end.
After getting Toothless back into the cove, which he was actually quite willing to do, which did strike me as odd. I returned to the Patch of grass and grabbed a few strands of the Dragon nip, after all, you never know when something like this could come in handy.
I don't know why but something felt different about the woods today… it didn't feel right. The forest was unusually cold and lifeless, like a twisted force had moved through it. Branches were ripped of the side of trees, leaves looked just about ready to fall… but not in the healthy autumn way, no the dead leaves way and dying branches.
There was also the butchered Dragon carcass lying in the middle of the path.
I took me a moment to even realize that it was in fact a dragon's corpse it WAS THAT messed up. The bits and pieces of the dragon were scattered everywhere in a bloody mess, and I mean everywhere. Chunks of what I think might have been a Nadder were on the path, impaled on branches, stuck in the bushes… and what is that slightly warm liquid leaking down my back?
I nervously reached behind me to touch whatever it was that was pouring down my back. It was definitely a liquid… but slightly solid at the same time. It kind of reminded me of the time Snotlout put Slime down my back in science class that one time. Only this was far, far worse. Reluctantly I removed a piece from my back gagging slightly at the warm mushy wet substance slipping and sticking to my fingers like some sort of cloggy liquid. I brought the substance close to my face, to observe what it is.
Its blood… and… saliva…
I shook the substance from my hand doing everything I could to not puke. But in the process I ended up looking up at where the substance had come from….
And I don't think I can unsee it…
In the tree canopy stuck between the branches (Sometimes with the branches even going through it) was the decapitated head of what use to be a Nadder… and from the look of things the creature went through a beating.. a slow painful beating. Half its skull was ripped off and caved in making the head of the dragon lopped sided, cuts ran all across its face in all directions. Half is jaw had been broken making it lopsided and hanging wide open revealing the broken teeth. One of its eyes had been removed from its socket and hung from a single line of flesh from the head staring right at me. Blood leaked from its mouth as it hanged their staring at me with cold bloodshot eyes.
Vomit soon joined the mixture of dragon parts and blood on the forest fall.
.
After that I ran. I couldn't take it anymore, I just ran. Away from the woods, away from… that. I had heard stories of the horrors of the wood… but never had I experienced one like that. I should have ran to Toothless… he was closer, and he was alone… but he was in the woods … with whatever did that to the Nadder… so I was a coward I ran towards my house, towards safety… away from my friend….
I ran towards my house, towards the open back door.
But in my hurry I forgot we had a clears as day glass sliding window… the same one I ran into at full force. The windows around Berk had been reinforced to survive dragon attacks. So a young scrawny boy running into one at full speed would easily be shrugged of by the window as a joke… the boy on the other hand…
As soon as I collided with the glass window I was knocked straight down to the wooden porch we had outside the back of our house. The back of my head collided with the hard wooden planks creating a painfully loud smashing sound.
I laid there for a moment staring up at the evening sky. I felt my eyelids get heavy, too heavy… and with moment I passed out, darkness enclosing me.
Toothless POV.
Going to sleep earlier in the day has become a habit of mine. With my only sense of entertainment being Puzzle and his visits I found myself very bored on a day to day bases.
For a moment I stared at the strange items that Puzzle had brought. He had been kind enough to take both the saddle and the fake tailfin off (Good because they were beginning to chafe, and I was very tempted to remove them myself, don't think Puzzle will be pleased with that) I had an idea on what they did yet still they still baffled me. I knew humans had a habit of building contraptions to make up for their lack of well… everything but to see some of these… constructs up close was…
Well I can't really think of the word.
I had no idea how the contraptions really worked but I knew they were helping me to fly… he was helping me to fly. I needed his help to fly once more… and he was giving it to me…
'That's what friends do isn't it? Help each other.' The voice spoke in my head. The voice was not my own, not like my usual head voice (Thoughts). This one was deeper, older, spoke with a sense of power I did not possess… and there was a big difference that well… was pretty obvious…
.
I snorted; I shouldn't linger on said thoughts such things go to remind me that I am in fact going mad.
I coiled up in my usual spot a now burnt out spot of grass directly between the lake and the old tree I occasionally slept upside down form. With a burst of concentrated Plasma I superheated the dirt beneath me, due to their being nothing left to burn the fires went out instantly but it made the earth beneath me was a very cosy and inviting warmth. Feeling the Warmth between my claws, enjoying the pleasant feeling I laid down in the burnt hot earth, slightly stretching a bit before curling up in a tight ball.
I closed my eyes tight, allowing my mind to drift and my body to fall to fatigue.
Sometime latter.
Dragons can be heavy sleepers when they want to be, it's a trait that many dragons use to hibernate during the colder part of the year, or ignore particularly annoying Dragons or animals that just enjoy disrupting sleep.
However even during heavy sleep A Dragon must always be alert and prepared for there is never a time a Dragon is more vulnerable than whilst they sleep. Dragons when fully conscious are amongst the most dangerous creatures to roam the earth; capable of flight; great strength; tough Hide and of course fire breathing we have few natural predators… however in sleep none of that will matter. Under normal circumstances a Dragon would be able to deal with a large pack of Wolves with little problem…But a sleeping dragon would be easy picking for only a few Wolves. Only a few Dragons such as Gronkles and Hornapedes could sleep soundly without having to worry themselves with such troubles… Still they must keep on the lookout for the occasional Cannibalistic Dragon such as Whispering Deaths or Shrieking Mawlers…
You know in some sick way it's kind of reassuring to know that nothing is safe… Knowing that everything will know fear once in its life can really be helpful…
But back to sleep. I have always considered myself a master of Controlling how Heavy or light I sleep, Which is helpful considering what i had to deal with in that Hole of trash called a 'Nest'. Be it stopping some Dragons from doing something horrible to me in my sleep ( Burry me alive, dump me in the middle of the ocean, stick a nest of bees in my mouth) Or sleep through the Mindless praseing SHE forces HER mindless drones to perform for her. Sleep control is a blessing that i do not take lightly. However even it has its limits.
And i think whatever is creating that annoyingly Bright glow is reaching it.
At first i had attempted to Ignore the light, hopping that whatever is making the bright would go away. I was wrong. If anything the opposite happened. The light intensified, piercing through the darkness of my closed eyelids. As soon as the light became brighter a strange… tingling feeling began to swell all over my body, every scaly inch of me, apart from my underbelly and bottom half of my tail, which was spared the tingling. From the tip to my tail to my sensitive Nose the tingling continued… It felt like tiny little claws softly scratching against my side making a… tickling sensation.
I was Ticklish… i'm not going to even hide that. It a weakness that i have never been able to shake since Hatchlinghood. Though it was manly a few spots that really got to me… one of these spots was my nose.
I woke with a laugh, a horrifying sound to most who probably didn't know what it was. I could help but let lose a few choking giggles as my body was hit with an Onslaught of tickling My eyes blinking awake as i tried to get a hold of myself.
And when my eyes finally cleared and i gained control of my outburst of Giggles i was greeted with an unusual sight.
Upon my nose sat a butterfly, But no normal butterfly… no, no… this one was glowing a fluorescent blue that I could only imagine mirrored the legendary ghostly glow of the Mysterious and extinct Frightmare.
I stared at the glowing insect for a moment stunned silent and unsure on what to do as i stared at the beautiful glowing blue slightly transparent wings of the mysterious bug. Never before had i seen such a thing… i had no idea what to do! this was the markings all over again.
It Took me several minutes to realise it was not the only one. at least a dozen more had come to rest on one of my front feet, and it took me moment to realise that my other front feet mirrored the other being covered in the glowing blue bugs. Both legs tingled as the creatures moved around, a realization dawning on me on what could have caused the tingling soon hit me like a rock from the sky. But… the tingling was all over… that might mean. Turning my head around to see my suspicions were correct i was stunned to find that My entire body was covered with the Glowing Butterflies, creating a stunning silhouette of blue around me, The bugs transparent wings only went to improve the idea that it was me and not the thousands of bugs covering me. The only sign that they were actually there was when occasionally they would flicker their wings breaking the illusion.
I was stunned, no beyond Stunned…. What was going on?
I rose to my feet, carefully trying to avoid provoking the Butterflies, I have no idea what they are doing so i had no idea how to handle this. After a minute or two of standing I grew impatient and attempted to shake of the Butterflies.
They did not move.
After a bit of wild shaking I tried a more direct approach. I snapped; scratched; growled and even shrieked at the Butterflies in an attempt to get them off of me.
It was like they didn't even notice.
I sighed heavily in near defeat, I didn't want to outright kill any of the Butterflies, I was not that type of dragon, but I don't think anything short of that would work. I looked at the Butterfly that sat on my nose Its wings still glowing brightly in front of my face. "Can you please get off?" I asked in heavy defeat, knowing all too well that it would do nothing…
The Butterfly fluttered its wings before flowing of my face a faint blue trail following the small glowing bug. As the first one left the others began to follow, each making a faint trail of blue light as they scattered into the air. I watched stunned as the Blue Butterflies flew around the Cov-
Is… Is this the Cove?
The Cove was not as I remembered it. The Rock walls were covered in shadows with the faintest glint of light creating sparkles in the floor of the Cove was covered in a thick mist with only a few stands of the greenest grass I have ever seen. Subconsciously I clenched my claws around the substance beneath me. It was defiantly Grass… but it was so soft… and warm…
A splash distracted me from the pleasant feeling between my claws. A mixture of fear and curiosity drawing me to the body of water were the sound came from, And as soon as i did so i could not tear my eyes away. I felt myself drawn to the Water, like a Youngling to a spark of light. With each Step i was reminded by just how soft the grass was but that was Ignored in favour of what i saw before me.
The Water was still, crystal clear, clearer and more still than any I have seen before, not even the wind effected it. The water reflected the starry night sky perfectly, catching all the colours of what looked like the Lights of the North in the sky so high. The water also revealed the fish that swam in it, whilst the water reflected the sky the Fish moved through it in a way that gave it the Illusion the the Fish were swimming through the sky.
Speaking of the sky, i turned my head towards it, and soon found myself short of breath, the mere sight of its Beauty taking my breath away.
The Stars sparkled in the skies like thousands of little eyes each shining and wonderful as the looked like clouds were swirling through the stars in bright vibrant colours like purple; orange; red and Yellow Colouring the bluish black sky in a way I did not think Possible. The Moon hang In the centre of the sky, It was full and shun a shade of White had never seen it shine before… What struck me as odd however was that the Moon was not set to be full for another week…
What is going on?
Destiny, Child.
I nearly jumped when i heard the voice echo through the Cove. It was unlike any voice i have heard before, Ancient, Powerful had a distinct Echo to it, but at the same time remained calm and steady, Like that of an Elderly Dragon, only far greater.
A suddenly pulling sensation in my gut Pulled my eyes away from the sky and towards where the giant tree that borders the Cove, And in a way it still did… Just it was incredibly different.
Where once was a plain Wooden trunk there was now the face of a massive creature formed from wood. It possessed to Golden sap like eyes that stared at me with great interest, study me from head to toe. A large mouth stretched across the wood face clenched shut and giving great empathist on its spiky huge chin. Its face was covered in Sticks stretching out like many mini spikes. But perhaps the most eye catching feature was the two giant Tusk on either side of the giants face made of roots and parts of cared smooth wood, the tusk were so long that they nearly touched the bottom of the cove. The Branches and leaves of the tree had shifted too forming what looked like a man of Horns that stuck out from the top of the giant's Butterflies that had covered me before had seemed to swarm around this giant tree face either clinging to its tusks or fluttering around the head, their faint glow illuminating the giants face.
You must excuse me Child, I had meant to contact you earlier, But recent events have proven problematic.
I watched stunned silent as the Giant wooden head spoke, its mouth moved but the words did not come from it. They seemed to echo, from all around. As if the woods itself was speaking to me. "W-who are you." I finally managed to squeeze out, silently hating myself for appearing so weak.
The Trees face seemed to form the shadow of a smile as it stared down at me.
I have many names young one, Just as I have told your Partner… but if you must refer to me as the Forest Spirit, for many of my other names would be Unpronounceable in your tongue.
Ok… so this was some sort of Tree spirit…. thing…. alright I have dealt with worse….
It is a pleasure to finally meet you face to face young Night Fury, I have many eyes in this forest but to finally greet you in person is a wonderful experience. It has been so long since i have last see a member of your kind I had nearly forgotten how Magnificent your species is. I am afraid However that my Appearance here is not for social purposes.
Wait, this tree man had met other Night Fury? Did he meet my Mother? Or another Night Fury… Heck I would settle with my no good Father if it means I could talk with another of my own kind. Suddenly the Tree's face became that of sadness. Deep down i could tell it knew what i was thinking, what I wanted to ask, and that I would not like the answer.
So I didn't, I've been alone this long, and I can continue to do so…
But you are not alone child, You have your Partner… And you too will need each other more then ever, More than even those that had come before you. Sooner than they as well. For you see an Evil that has long since lingered over these woods has begun to once again steer. Your Partner has already seen its handiwork… and i'm afraid i cannot keep you hidden and safe for much longer. Already this evil works to weaken me, so it may complete its Master's mission.
I Shook my head at this. "What Mission? What Master? What Evil?What are you even talking about." I was pretty sure who this Partner was; Puzzle. He fit the description I guess, Human or not he was probably the closest creature to my social wise. Partners are when two Dragons form a Bond that is unbreakable and Unquestionable in their Loyalty for one another, They will always be their for one another and are remarkable close, Closer than Mates sometimes (Unless you were Partners and Mates). Though the idea of being Partners with a Human felt off, I could not deny that i was not going to reject the idea. After all Puzzle was giving me my flight back and there was only one thing I would consider more Precious than that… And I don't think anyone could give me that.
I am sorry for your loss child and their is nothing i could do but Perhaps answer a few of your Questions… But to do that You must turn your attention back to the Lake…
I hesitated for a moment before complying to the Tree's shaky movement i walked toward the edge of the lake, unsure on why exactly the Tree wanted me to do this.
And gaze into the waters of History.
I watched in silent awe as the reflective colours of the pool of water began to swirl bringing to life an image i had never seen before.
Guide This Means what is happening in the vision whilst This Is Toothless thoughts.
It was a cold Misty morning as a large Black dragon landed upon the gravel shores of what looked like A broken Volcano Island. The Dragon was covered in Leather like paddings with many different tools and contraptions attached to the Harden leather. Along its body and under its Leather armour shun Patterns and symbols of glowing blue, from the thick of it's neck to the tip of its tail the Pattern shun and flowed in a spectacular way like a reflection of something. The Patterns did not look painted on but were instead seemed to have replaced the scales along the Dragons body. The piercing Green eyes scanned the horizon with an intense powerful stare.
I recognized the familiar shape of this Breed of Dragon; A Night Fury. It looked nearly identical to me only It was a lot bigger, bulkier and that the markings covered nearly all its body, And what appeared to be Spinal fins… Wait do I have those? I can't even really see anything remotely akin to that… Maybe they grow in through age?
From atop the Night Fury descended a well built Human, tall and of a lean build who wore carved Armour similar to the Night Furies. He only had one foot the other having being replaced with some sort of complex rig. He must have been missing the limb for some time because not only did he not fall over from jumping of the dragons back and onto the Gravel, Easily balancing himself. a large Wolf pelt was slung over his shoulders forming a wolly cape. Thought the Human had a helmet and mask he soon removed it revealing his face to the fresh sea air. The Human was good looking by human standards, he possessed a mop of blackish brown hair and a short, trimmed, braided beard to match. His Green eyes also surveyed the area.
"You sure this is the place?" The human asked keeping one eye on the surrounding as he looked at the dragon.
I was taken aback about how I was able to understand the sounds the human made, Whenever Puzzle spoke all i could hear was the classic Jiberish Humans make. For this one it was still there but over it was the language of my kind, overlaying it with a powerful whisper. I could tell this Human was Male because of the Face fur and shape, drawing upon my limited knowledge of Humans i knew that only (Mostly) males of their kind could possess such a thing.
The Dragon snorted 'Of course it is I spent nearly half my life living in this reached place, of course I know where it is.
That Voice! I have heard it before… But how? The only other Night Fury Voice I have heard other than my own is My mother's and it was definitely not hers, it was Male after all… Not mine either for that matter.
"I know, I know… Its just It looks so different from the last time we were here." The Human said as he pat the Dragons side.
'Yeah well that tends to happen after a Rampaging Red Death and Screaming Death, but we're not here to sightsee… well we might be If this is all a load of Gronkle dung, which it's going to be.' The Night Fury said snorting as he began to walk of toward the large mountainous Volcano at the centre of the island.
The human seemed to laugh for a moment before joining the Dragon in his walk "Even if that is the case we can not ignore the even remote possibility that he was speaking the truth… he did not seem to lie about the markings, they have indeed done as he promised. Look at us, we can now have a proper conversation! and i do not know about you old friend but i have never felt this good in a long time."
'Yes that is true, but who could know what would happen if you allowed him to actually finish the process, But no… you had to immediately run of as soon as he began speaking that nonsense about "You can't Kill a Death… One will always rise from the Ashes of the last." I swear that freak has more screw loses then your Mentor.' The Night Fury said shaking slightly as he walked.
The Human stopped in his tracks, almost frozen in place. It took all but a second for the Night Fury to stop and look back at the human a look of absolute regret and dread covering the Dragons face. 'I'm...I'm sorry that… was insensitive myself… Its just… I forgot you know….' The Dragon said sounding regretfully nervous like he was stepping on eggshells around an upset mother.
"Its ok… knowing him his already drunkenly challenging Thor to an arm wrestle with my Father in Vadhalla." The human said wipping some tears away from his face.
I do not know what 'Thor' or 'Vadhalla' is but I think it might be a good thing considering the concept in which the human used them in…
Or bad, Humans are weird that way.
The Human sighed "Still, we can't run the risk one of those monsters might be running loose. We got lucky last time and i don't know about you but I think that we don't have enough of that left to save us again… Pretty sure re ran out of most of it with that whole Norbert Incident." The Human said Walking towards a rather large hole in the side of the Mountain.
The Dragon seemed to silently nod before following the Human In a silent walk towards the Gap in the Mountain. There was no sound but the shifting Gravel beneath their feet and the near silent breath of the two individual beings that appeared to be the only to living things in on the island.
Eventually the Dragon and the Human arrived at the entrance of the massive cave where they stopped at the entrance of the Giant cave.
The Human turned to the Dragon and spoke "Hey Bud do you think you can-"
'Already have, there's nothing down there but abandoned Nests and empty caverns… huh i think even the Lava has drained… but there's defiantly no giant dragon down there,' The Dragon said before turning toward the Human a look of anger forming over the Night Furies face. 'Are you even paying attention!' The Dragon roared.
The Human who seemed to be surveying the beaches was caught off guard by the Dragon's sudden outburst and twisted towards him pointing His left arm out, a sudden burst of glowing blue energy flowed through the extended limb as a small ball of Blue fire appeared in his palm, which was aimed straight at the Night Furies face. The Night Fury jumped back a look of fearful surprise appearing on his face. 'Easy there it's just me!' The Dragon said in a calmer tone than before.
The Human looked ashamed with himself as he lowered his arm, the fire going out. "Sorry still getting use to these new reflexes…" the Human said rubbing the back of his head.
'It's alright… just glad I didn't end up like the Twins…' The Night Fury said letting loose a sigh of Relief.
The Human nodded his head in agreement. "I was listening Bud, i was Just wondering… Where did the Skeleton go?" The Human said gesturing to the plain Gravel beach with one of his hand.
The Dragon paused for a moment before turning his head to see if the human spoke the Truth. He was right. There was no sign of any Skeletal Structure along the beach, not even the remains of one, or any indication of such a thing existing.
'I..I Don't know…" The Dragon said His eyes widening in fear.
Suddenly if it was awaiting its que a deep disturbed and powerful Laugh erupted from… everywhere. The sound echoed and bounced across the entire island, but the main focus point came from inside the depths of the Volcano.
I felt myself cower at the sound… I recognized that Laugh… the very w=one that Haunts me in my dreams, and my waking moments… the sick twisted nature of it, like it was celebrating the fact that the only reason it even existed was because its creature knew that Suffering exsisted and it was the cause of it.
It couldn't be… It just couldn't…
Both human and Dragon twisted their heads faster than would have been deemed possible for their respective species. The Night Furies back lit up in a blue Glow, the area of the Night Furies body that was visible light up with a blue glow thanks to the glowing markings, the dragon took a battle stance natural to its species, its teeth bared and its shoulders low as if ready to strike upon the cause. The Human drawed a rather plain looking sword from his belt with his left hand, holding the plain but shiny blade in a battle stance, his other hand shot up, a flow of Blue energy shot through his arm as a large blue ball of fire emerged from his raised hand, pointed straight into the cave.
To their credit neither of them flinched as the Laughter grew more powerful and large, booming steps joined it in a sympathy of chaos. A skeletal like Silhouette of a dragon big enough that its shoulder plates scraped the walls of the giant cave, appeared near the other end of the cave from where the Human and Dragon stood. However the silhouette did not remain skeletal for long, even in the darkness of the cave it was clear that flesh was building across the giant skeleton, joined by both muscle and organs, like decomposing in reverse. as the skeleton became more and more like a fully fleshed it's continued its slow approach towards the brave Human and Dragon.
As the Skeleton finally reached a state in which of what could be considered a full dragon, if the monstrous beast could even be called a dragon it had reached the entrance of the cave. Most of its massive body was hidden in the shadow only a vague silhouette revealing the beast size. However a large snout with a overbite full of teeth and a huge horn with equal sized nostrils flaring stuck out of the cave. Even with the shun shining upon the massive Nostril an aura of darkness seemed to surround the huge ash white snout. a pair of six Glowing white eyes stared down at the two tiny in comparison creature beneath it. A deep sick chuckle escaped the beast throat as it stared down at the two.
I could not help hold back a whimper as I cowered, lowing myself to the ground in frightened submission. "...Its… Its… HER…." I finally whispered out.
"I Have been waiting for your return, Betrayer… and I see you have brought your Human pet with you… You would think after this many years you would have learnt to take better care of such a fragile and perfect thing." The Giant snout spoke in an amused yet powerful voice, it was clearly angry, and female. The White eyes stared down at the Dragon barely even noticing the Human as it spoke.
Both Dragon and Human were stunned silent as they took several steps back, but it was the human that spoke first. "Yo-You're T-the same... one?" he spoke in fright.
For the first time the beast's eyes shifted from the Dragon to the Human. For moment they raised in surprise before narrowing in a sick twisted anger. "So you taught your… Pet: To Speak… well done Betrayer I had thought such a task be beyond your skill… But to answer your question Worm, no I am not…" The Giant spoke, but as it continued to do so silhouettes of dragons began to emerge from the mouth of the cave, seeming to emerge from the rocks themselves. But… they were not quite dragon's, their bodies were disfigured and misshapen. Parts of their bodies were hugely exaggerated with flesh and bone whilst other parts nearly lacked all the flesh and bone around them. There was no colour in their scales but shades of grey and their eyes shun with a milky blue haze as they began to work towards the Human and the Dragon.
"I AM SO MUCH MORE!" The Giant roared as suddenly with a burst of speed unseen before in the disfigured Dragons rushed towards the Human and Dragon.
"I think we outstayed our welcome bud." The human said dodging a rushing Dragon and with a swing of his sword removed the head from the beast, but the body did not stop moving, instead it seemed to only get madder.
'Agreed.' The Dragon said as it blasted one of the dragons that were getting to close with a ball of Plasma from his mouth. What remained of the beast was flunged into another of the broken dragon like corpses.. but already three more had replaced the one that had just been destroyed.
With a nod between the two, the Human tossed a small handfull of balls onto the dirt. As the balls made contact with the earth they exploded in a screen of smoke encasing both Human, Dragon and most of the angry horde.
Suddenly from the smoke The Human and Dragon burst free, and with speeds only a Night fury could muster they took of into the sky Barely avoiding a snap from the giant monsters jaw.
As Rider and Dragon escaped into the sky the giant Beast growled, the sound shook the very earth and seemed to scare the horde of undead dragons at the beast feet. But the monstrosity seemed to calm as it watched the Rider and Dragon flee from its domain. A Creepy sadistic smile forming over the massive face of the Pale creature.
"Run as much as you want Fools… For you cannot hide from my gaze, nor can you hide from destiny. I am patient Creature, I do not care if it takes one or even a Hundred lifetimes, After all it appears death is now just an Inconvenience to you two as well … we will battle again… and when we do I will have no mercy."
In a flash of light the vision in the lake disappeared.
In a flash of light the Sky had become a familiar one to the one I had fallen asleep to, not a sign of time passing by, or the beautiful colourful night sky I had seen before.
In a flash of light the Grass was no longer soft and covered in mist.
In a flash of light the Spirit was gone and the tree had returned to normal.
In a flash of light I was cold, alone and frighten…
And In a flash of light i knew i had to go find Puzzle, My best friend, My partner..
My Rider.
Ok So when I was writing this chapter i was using a new… Thing to write it on, and frankly I Like it. Might use it more in the future.
I do hope this chapter makes up for my absence, things are getting crazy right now and I am at a lost in life…
But I do hope you enjoy reading this.
"To understand the path before you, sometimes it pays to take a few steps back."
