The Death of the Dragon- part 2
A/N: This may not be as good as the first chapter! Also it's BEFORE Alanna finds out that Liam's dead!
Disclaimer: This belongs to Tamora Pierce.7 I own nothing!

The castle held its breath as the casualties were counted and the bodies buried. Jon leaned against a pillar, his Gift drained from him. "How many?' he asked himself, "How many have died today…' "For Tortall?'
As the living wept for the dead, the bodies of the enemy brought out and burnt. King Jonathan of Conte watched helplessly as soldiers, innocent people of the court, and a few knights were carried out of the hall, their faces so distorted by blood and scars that they were beyond recognition.
George came beside the king and sighed sadly, "Jon, we found the Shang' "Eight arrows felled him'
"Meant for me and he took them' Jon thought, aloud he replied, "Bring him forth, let the healer's clean him up'
Liam Ironarm's body was brought to the healer's wing; they cleaned and bandaged his cuts. They then lay him on the altar.
"This is the last for him' "He didn't even have to fight for us' "Many died, but one who could have chosen not to fight…this was his last fight'
Both George and the king knew that the story of the Shang Dragon was to be told for centuries but the last song of the Dragon was to be sung for all time…
A/N: Like it? Hate it? Please tell me!
Also the few knights that died aren't the ones we know!
Anyway,
Fare thee well,
