Part 6: Dragon Lord's Capture
By: Michelle
Even though Dragon Lord had most of his army with him, his castle was heavily guarded inside. But we needed to get into the castle somehow. We put the mirror in a wagon and sent two men to act as merchants. The guards let them in. When they were distracted our 'fake' merchants killed the dragon guards.
The two men opened the door and sent a signal to enter. I knew we didn't have much time. Somehow I knew the Dragon Lord was onto our plan.
The most experienced shamans followed me. We sent the others to kill the rest of the dragons in the castle. We were after his children.
Dragon Lord's castle was quite large. It took us nearly a hour to find them.
When we found them, his young sons were ready to defend their mother and sisters. They reminded me of my grandchildren. I knew it would be painful to take the life of such young souls.
It was five against almost twenty. The older two sons put up the most fight. They were obviously trained well by their father, but not well enough. I ran the eldest one though and watched the women back into the bedroom. His three sisters and mothers screamed.
The next eldest son ran from us after he saw his brother die. One of the Elders pulled a dagger from his belt and threw it down the hall were the dragon ran. It embedded into his head and the child dropped to the floor.
During our attack by his children, we broke the necks of the youngest three. We took their bodies into the bedroom were the others were and threw their lifeless bodies on the bed. We let the eldest son dead at the door and grabbed his wife. We tried to grab the three daughters but the eldest daughter used the prism to hide.
We blocked the door and heard the Dragon Lord's army arrive at the castle. His wife began to scream for him. So, we took a rope and tied it around her neck and hung her from the ceiling. I almost felt sorry for her. She was with child; but however, I knew we had to kill her.
As the Dragon Lord and his guard began to make their way to the bedroom, I knew we had to hide.
"The Dragon Lord will be here soon, we must hide in the shadows."
"But what about his daughters?"
"They're not going anywhere." We began to walk out the door. I stopped and looked around. They were still here. I could feel their presence.
We were hiding in an adjacent room when the Dragon Lord and his guard made it to the bedroom. We were surprised to see he had only one guard with him.
The Dragon Lord looked at the body of his dead son. He bent down and touched his son's chest to find no life in him. He pulled his sword out and enter the bedroom, leaving his guard outside the room.
As the guard bent down to touch the chest of the Dragon Lord's son, we made our move. Two men snuck up on the guard and hit him on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. They pull his body into the room and tied his hands and feet. Some protection I thought, as I heard the Dragon Lord cry from the room.
Our hearts began to race. This was it. It was time to get him. Unfortunately that would have to wait a moment, the Dragon Lord pick up his son from at the door and went back into the room.
We then followed him in.
*************************************************
"Father." A sweet voice said from the corner.
Dragon Lord drew his sword and got ready to fight. He was very skilled. He tore through them as though they were sacks of feed.
The Shinobis began to cast spells and Dragon Lord retaliated with his own. Dragon Lord was well trained in shamanism, but the Shinobis were too strong for him. They began to use his own spells against him. Then a rage possessed his soul, he growled and blew flames of death from his mouth.
Then, it was only him and Taisu I. They fought for many minutes. During the fight, Taisu blinded Dragon Lord. While he was rubbing his eyes to try to regain his senses, Taisu I hit him on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.
***********************************************
I pulled a pair of cuffs from a small bag on my belt and laced them with good Chi energy. I took them and cuffed them on the unconscious Dragon Lord.
My body ached all over. I looked around the room and saw many shaman dead on the floor. I continued to look around and saw the daughters shaking in the corner. I could not kill them.
"Surrender to me and I will spare your lives."
His daughters shook as I spoke to them. They looked over towards their father, hoping he would raise and save them. Seeing this would not happen, they raised their hands and I began to tie their wrists and feet with rope.
As I finished tying the littlest's ones wrists together, a friend of mine rushed into the room.
"We captured Princess Tashina and the Rank Leader. The army is beginning to surrender."
"Good." I turned and looked at him. "Take all dragons prisoner and bring them to the throne room. Then, set up the mirror. When the Dragon Lord awakes, he will learn his fate. Also, send me some men to help me take these prisoners to their punishment."
"Yes, Taisu I."
