RISE AND FALL
Dragon Lord's View
Part 5: The Fall of a Lord
By: Michelle
During the sixteenth year of my attack on China, a new clan arose. They called themselves the Shinobis. They were powerful shamans. Tashina told me that they would end the dragon reign on Earth, but I did not take her seriously.
**************************************
Tashina closed her eyes and vision appeared to her. "Nooooooooooooooooo!"
"What is it?" Dragon Lord grabbed Tashina's arm.
Her eyes were still closed. "A clan will attack the castle. They are called the Shinobis. They will end our reign."
"No. Impossible." He released her with disbelief.
Tears poured from her eyes. "Our race will be banished. We will be imprisoned for millennia." She opened her eyes and looked at her brother. "They will take the lives of your children and wife."
He stood their in shock. "No." He turned to his army. "The Shinobis are planning to attack the castle. We must go home to prevent them from destroying our families."
"No. You're crazy. If we go back, we will lose."
"NO. They will." Dragon Lord began to led his army back to his home.
*************************************
By the time I reached my castle, the Shinobis were attacking. I left my army and went to defend my family. Bitoku joined me.
The castle halls filled with screams. At the door to my room, we found Suri. His eyes were closed and he was clenching a sword. I touched his chest; there was no life in him. I pulled out my sword and entered the bedroom.
The room was cold and dark. Death filled the air. There I found the rest of my family. Moju, Nemui, and Teisai laid dead on my bed. Their bodies were still and peaceful. I found my three daughters shaking in the corner.
Outside the door, Bitoku was attacked and knocked unconscious. I knew and heard nothing of the attack.
I knelt down and placed my hand on Kat's head. She looked up at me and said, "Oh, father." Her eyes looked over my shoulder and into another corner of the room. "What Kat?" I turn to see what made her shake.
The sight I saw made me sick to my stomach. I didn't want to believe what I was seeing. There she hung. My wife. My reason for living. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I cut her down and took her into my arms. I was too late. Tears began to fill in my eyes and anger arose in my soul. I placed her lifeless body in our bed, next to our other three sons. I went to the door and picked up Suri and rested him with them.
I thought for a moment. Where is Bitoku? "Father." I looked at my frightened daughter. Her eyes widened. I drew my sword and turned around. Twenty or so Shinobi's stood in my doorway.
We began to fight each other but there was too many. I killed the younger ones; but the elders matched my strength. They began to use spells against me. Then, I began to perform some of my own. They were still powerful. They used my magic against me. This made me weak. I though of my wife and the anger possessed my soul. I killed all but one. His name was Taisu I; the ancestor to Chung I. He shot a blast of Chi energy into my eyes, blinding me momentarily. While trying to regain my senses, he hit me on the back of my head and I fell to the ground.
