Dragonmaster Xander part 2
Part 2 - A World's Shadow
Disclaimer: Read the first chapter!
--------------------------------------------------
The First Evil knew she was going to loose. Loose this fight, loose her chance to this world. Everything she had planned for was being flushed down the nearest Hellmouth. All thanks to the one itty bitty mistake. She had discounted the one mortal that could destroy her.
The First had sneered in amused disgust when she had learned that the Gods of this world could be killed with Hind's blood. Amusement because her hell world has bounteous amounts of Hinds blood which was easily acquired. Disgust because they where such pathetic creatures that they hardly earned The First's attention.
On the other hand, the Primal Spirits could easily kill her. Eons ago, primal spirits could be found on only one planet. A planet that was now dead with great sheets of ice covering the entire surface of the world. The First had believed that she had destroyed all those who cold stop her. She was wrong. Somehow these insignificant insects of this pathetic mud ball could call upon and harness the Primals.
The First fisted her hand causing the fireball to surround her fist as she lunged with all her might at the one who could destroy her. Cursing as he dodged her. She readied another blast.
For his part, Xander was reveling in the fact that The First couldn't seem to touch him. He dodged to the right, the blazing fist sailed past him. Xander brought up his ax in an arc, slicing into the Blonds' side. Inside of his mind the Hyena slowly merged with the psyche of her cub, knowing that he wouldn't survive without her superior senses or her knowledge. Ancient magic's and runes ignited along Xander's skin. Instinctively, Xander used and ancient form of arcane arts to mystically charge his ax. Xander bounced back two steps and lifted his ax into the air above him. His ax glowed bright blue and seemingly enlarged it's self.
Xander then cried out, "AX STRIKE!" With a great leap into the air, Xander brought down his ax with all of his might.
The First reflexively raised her arm to block the blow but it was to no avail as Xander's attack cut through her arm like a hot knife through butter.

Sapphire almost began to giggle like a mad dragon. He barely managed to restrain himself. It was early morning; the sun was just coming up over port cities' coast. In a clawed hand he held the injured human; the other hand was busy helping him keep his balance atop of Hel Mel's castle.
Sapphire saw that the bedroom window was open. He quickly and quietly peered inside, only to see Mel's form in blissful slumber.
"Yo Mel! Wake up!" Sapphire rather loudly whispered through the open window.
Mel just snorted and turned over in his bed. Sapphire shrugged. 'Well I tried to wake him up the nice way.' He thought with a wicked grin as he used his tail to make a swirling motion in the air. A ball of cold water formed above Mel's head. Smirking as only Dragons can smirk, Sapphire flicked his tail downward, and causing the water ball to fall on top of Mel's sleeping form.
"Arrrrrrgh!" Mel manfully screamed out as he was abruptly woken up. The injured human whimpered as the sound. Snickering, Sapphire brought the human close to his chest cavity and began to purr soothingly in an effort to calm the sleeping human.
"Daddy!" Jessica cried out as she came bursting inter he father's bedroom. Concerned that some assassin had managed to sneak up on Mel and injure him.
"I'm okay Jessica, just wet." Mel replied sourly.
With a snort, Sapphire tapped on the window. Both Heroes whirled around to the face the window, eyes widening in surprise when they saw him.
"I need your help." Sapphire rumbled with a demented draconic grin.
