The dragons in this area sure are fierce... Zeig thought, creeping down the mountainside, Rose ten feet behind him.
The terrain was craggy, and the weather was atrocious, but they had set
out nonetheless, as they needed the spirits. The war would never be
over, and they were the last chance. Lord Gloriano's army was mighty
and immense, but the two were still only Humans, and they Winglies.
"Keep up, or I'll leave you behind!" Zeig called over my shoulder, as he scaled the mountainside easily.
Rose yelled out some profanity, and grunted as she stuck her hand into the final hold, and hoisted herself up, not easily.
"Are you sure we can find the right dragons here?" He asked, looking around skeptically.
"You wouldn't be here if they weren't, and you know it." She replied, sitting on a rock, taking off her pack, and taking out a water bottle, drinking half of it in three gulps.
"I suppose..." he trailed off, sensing something hidden in darkness. "Who's there?" the man called out, and a winged beast came out, its talons and teeth bared.
He cursed loudly, and drew my sword, as the thing bore down on him. Damnit, I didn't want to fight until we found the proper dragons. Crossed his mind, as it dove at him, barely dodging.
The beast suddenly hit the ground, and Rose sheathed her saber. "You get rustier in old age Zeig." She smirked, and set her foot on the corpse of the beast, its head lolling to the side.
"Whatever, I was just testing it." Zeig said sheepishly, sheathing my blade as well. In truth, he had just not cared to fight it, and was going to let it kill itself. He never was a big fan of killing... but it was needed, and he'd fight and kill if it meant humans would no longer be subject to the Winglies domination.
"The Darkness Dragon was spotted on this mountain just a fortnight past. If we can corner the beast, I can plunge my sword into its breast, allowing myself to extract the spirit." Rose said, standing up, and wiping the thick sheen of sweat from her forehead.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. We've gone over this. But." Zeig passed for a second, and then went on. "Are you sure we can even kill a Darkness Dragon? They are, after all, the strongest of the dragon's, and do not heed to magic nor armour on their hides."
"Everything will work out." Rose said simply, walking ahead, motioning Zeig to follow her. Without a word, he nodded at her back, and followed. She was sure enough for the both of them.
