Any Scauldron would find Drenchwood Forest and any Tidal Dragon for that matter would call it a paradise compared to Lava-Lout Island, those slavery loving snakes in helmets not only had Dragon Flesh clothing but everything to know that they were one of the most cruel and evil ones we've had fought in the past. Stoick's descendant during Hiccup I's time had a limp because of them...
-Spitelout
As the stars began to go down as a sign of the new morning coming this way, Drayko had returned to the Main Hall to grab something from Bladehead's Smithery inside and mounted onto Toothless before taking off; leaving the other Knights to follow him from far behind while Raedwit once again let Jaxqueline mount onto Barf and Belch, as the Illusionist has made it clear from time to time again: No one needs a Second Rider just to ride a Zippleback of all Dragons in the Archipelago (A/N: This was written because Hiccup stated in "Twinsanity" that you need two riders, which is fucking bullshit and also: It's Gothi, not Goa-thee. Get it right you fucking Dragon Riders of Berk!)
Flying back to Mierviea Vde Rallie didn't take too long as the sun was just beginning to rise from the horizon once again, they flew over to the forest canyon area of the land and touched down in the circle clearing of the forest; which the entrance was a few miles before them. Some of the trees around them had hanging mangled and bloodied bodies that still dripped and streamed down from their long dried wounds, some of them were skeletons pierced by arrows and stabbed by weapons such as swords for example; it was quite horrifying to witness but that could be because it's more or less an warning to any tresspassers. Nonetheless, Heather held her Double Axe just in case there was an ambush up ahead
"I know girl, whoever comes this way to ambush us will be dead before they know it" She told Windshear as the Razorwhip cooed in agreement
"Those Hunters are bound to be in more than just trouble" Jacqueline added in
The Knights stood close to each other, ready for what was about to come out of these woods and take them on; reaching the entrance of the Forest thanks to the stone structure of a gate and having Drayko lead the way, entering through and taking the path laid out before them within the heavy dark and deep thicket of the Forest. It was almost shaped like a tunnel with the slopes being curved upward through the wide pathway while an light colored fog lied on the other side, there was of course mist that cooled the air in the morning hours of the night that still has yet to end; although half the stars were down as they chose to use the shortest route in order to reach Mierveia Vde Rallie, but the sudden appearance of this mist made Drayko wonder
Just so happened that Drayko stopped himself and the Knights from proceeding forward as it appeared that there were signs of Blight coming nearby. This time around it was the absence of the ambiance of woodland animals and the incoming toxic green smoke that came this way, along with a shadow appearing as a living suit of armor. Drayko knew that this was not the first time he's fought a living suit of armor, he has fought one and it was the size of a half giant whose armor shined and it's shield was an actual mirror that if shattered and broken; so would the Mirror Knight as he called him, it was what made Drayko go into the "Well-Known" phase as he still had a long road ahead in order to achieve the "Legendary Dragon Rider" title. They immediately changed directions in order to avoid the presence of what looked like Blight emerging from the mist
But while the Knights took the different and selective routes in order to reach the Tomb and avoid Blight at all costs, there was something that made Drayko's blood boil in the burning sun that has yet to rise above the horizon; for the sky was just beginning to brighten up. He couldn't tell why but it was the presence of an New Dragon that was not worth to be tamed nor loved by him, the very same species that aided their evil master in taking out the native Night Furies who roamed this Archipelago; these Dragons weren't the same as Cloudjumper for they did not take their time to think of their actions nor did they hesitate without another second to murder the fearsome, black scaled and mystery shrouded Night Furies in front of him and Toothless. He held his grip close on Inferno and was not going to hesitate at all when dealing with these Night Fury slaying beasts, no... beast did not sound right; Devils was worse but their path to follow Grimmel the Grisly was their own choosing, therefore it was their own damn fault that they would invoke his wrath. He was sure it was Grimmel because he has been suffering nightmares of meeting this bastard of a poaching, extinction craving and hunter of a motherfucking asshole
"Viggo, what are you trying to hide from me...? I will find out and I will kill Grimmel the Grisly" He gripped harder on Inferno and was starting to steam up from his inner hatred, for when the time comes for the Night Fury Hunter to show his face; he will be long left as a rotting corpse behind before he could even lay a single filthy finger on Toothless. The Knights did not pretend to notice his predicament but did not wish to be involved for they knew much better than to force themselves into one's affairs
As it seemed like an hour has passed, they finally reached the entrance of the Tomb where the Prince of Emperor Dretzymiro lied, although he was never put to rest. Empress Jacqueline unsheathed her Jian Sword and stepped forward inside the entrance, turning to face the Knights to tell them: "The real Amulet and the Sword lies inside, I can lead you to them right away; but beware of any sign of demons haunting this area" The Knights all nodded and proceeded to follow her inside, the Tomb itself was large enough to become an entire dungeon all alone by itself. What lied inside was an corridor with rooms that led to nothing of interest, but also gave a haunting feeling that Blight was about to appear from anywhere; though they eventually entered what appeared to be the Main Floor of the Tomb, with torches that barely lit the area and only further added in to the creepiness
The walls were made of large brick stones and the center had bloodied markings of hand smears with bloodied teeth, bones and even a half jaw skull; this was clearly not the first time that fights like the one before the Knights and Empress had broken out in places such as here, the Empress had experienced it all first hand and it was better to be left untold. Taking the flight of stairs down to the path and heading along the path, they entered through the door and found themselves in need to fly towards the top of the tower where the windows had the toxic green mist fuming from outside. They easily dealt with ascending up the tall tower and continued to walk through, entering the chambers with rotating puzzles to which when solved; they opened up new passageways for them to enter inside
For as long as they were inside of the Tomb, the Knights and Empress continued to enter one chamber after another until there was the second-to-final chamber; to which involved highlighting platforms that flashed and faded out frequently, giving them a sense of where they were. They watched on to memorize the disappearing platforms' pattern to which Drayko and Maria decided to attempt this together, they both jumped onto each of the platofrms that appeared and soon reached the stone pillar which had an beating stone heart. Using Inferno to slash at the beating heart made of stone, he shattered it into pieces and triggered a door to open into some more chambers. Jumping down to the first chamber while Maria went into the second, the two of them entered inside with different results
Drayko's chamber involved a gauntlet of fighting some possessed armored gibbets with skeletons who were burning alive in cursed cyan flames created by Blight to stop those who trespass in his Tomb. These demons wielded either large saw edged cleavers, dual bronze longswords and shield saws which are projectile weapons that Tubison also wields. Drayko gave them one hell of a slashing and hacking with Inferno as they were taken out quickly, falling apart within minutes and collapsing into pieces where they cannot be revived. Though these demons had slashed Drayko and gotten onto his back where they tried to take his head by holding their weapons against his neck, but the Slayer of Red Death grabbed them by the chest and slammed them towards the ground; shattering them into pieces once again as he did before. If these were his Doppelgangers of himself, then there would've been blood involved but would also be a fucking nightmare due to Blight making them relentless and murderous; even worse as if he needed to protect someone he cares about
(A/N: Yes, I'm referencing the part in God of War 2005 where you protect your family from Ares' evil Doppelgangers. That part is a fucking nightmare on God Mode, DO NOT ATTEMPT A NO UPGRADE RUN BECAUSE YOU CANNOT WIN THAT CLONE BATTLE WITHOUT RAGE OF THE GODS, POSEDION'S RAGE AND ARMY OF HADES ALL MAX LEVEL!)
Maria's chamber on the other hand was more puzzle based as it involved her avoiding the traps laid out before her, fitting in the keypieces here, flicking some levers there, what's not to say? Now of course she had the easy route but still fought the awakened possessed monsters nonetheless. Using her marksmanship as a Huntress of Nadders thanks to training with Stormfly, she fired off two arrows after another pair with an extra shot thrown in each time; striking her targets and freezing them in place with Articwind before destroying them into frozen chunks of bloodied pieces, and ultimately receiving a little prize in the end as the final chamber opened. Meanwhile Drayko slain the last of the demons and recieved Treasure as compensation. The two returned to each other upon reaching the final chamber before regrouping as a whole
"You did well Maria, even that chamber wasn't built for me. Rather fight an gauntlet more than go through the hell you were born to dive into" Maria did catch the rare humor he added in but Drayko immediately returned to his current state
"You pouting because you were you worried for me..? You need to get some fresh air and light sometime, everyone else is trying it" She teased him
"Don't talk down to me like you care as my wife, I enjoy being in the dark and having the silence with my bud Toothless; besides it means I get to eat all the Pepperoni Pizza and Dark Fudge Chocolate Sundaes I want..."
"Dammit Drayko, I thought I told you to go easy on the Sundaes; that's what I've been telling you for the past few months before this all started, and don't tell me that's all you're eating nowadays. God dammit, you're a deaf moron you know that?!" She scolded him lightly, as if Drayko really cared at all
"Don't talk to me like you're my gold digging hooker bitch that wants money and nothing more, the only reward you love more than treasure is flying with Stormfly in the morning"
"Well at least I don't get constant Brain Freeze every now and then..."
"Neither do I feel weary when I return from flying out at sunrise"
"I hope you're both done there Mr. and Mrs. Ryder-Krofter because we're just about to get those two items you need" Heather interrupted, while secretly giggling at the sight them acting like an unhappy married old couple
"Ryder is NOT my last name, it's only a surname"
"And your middle name would be?"
"Krarnmos (CRANE-MOSE) III"
"That was just a joke, I wasn't expecting you to answer that"
"Shut up..." Drayko "Krarnmos" Ryder III ended, starting to get a headache and becoming seriously irritated
Once the conversation between the two has finally ended, the Knights entered the Final Chamber with the Empress leading the way in; the room was large enough to be an arena itself and from the steps on the south of the room was the resting place of the Sword of Emperor Dretzymiro itself. It was an Jian Bastard/Longsword with the Hushou being designed to resemble the Dragon that the Fallen Emperor himself rode into battle while the blade was wrapped in metallic cording, the Jiantan also sported the face of the Unknown Dragon that resembled more of an Wolf than a Reptile. The real Amulet of Empress Jacqueline was hanging from the Hushou by the chains
"I was hoping that the Sword would be the last one we get. The most important item is received last, isn't that how it always works out?" Heather asked
"In what the stories of adventures tell you, yes that's how it's always structured but Drago was coming after this and we needed to get it first beforehand. Now there is just one more item left, the Chalice of Mandragora" Jacqueline told her walking up the steps to pull the sword out
Just before she could such thing, the doors locked themselves and closed everywhere as the front wall opened up from the sides; revealing themselves to be two doors and releasing the Guardian of the Tomb, known as "Tartarussian"
(A/N: Yeah I'm using a Boss from Devil May Cry 2, I warned you before and told you in the summary that it's based off of DMC 2. I have nothing more to say to you, just the fact that I don't want any complaints because this is intentional; but just try to imagine hearing "Cursed Giant" when they're fighting this Guardian)
Tartarussian was an large brute of a demon who was fully encased with thick strips of iron gibbets, it's flesh was a denim blue color and it's weaponry was a dual pair of giant flails with white holes sporting a blue tint. It had two black heads with one white eye and appeared to have some sort of spikes on the back of their twin heads, they had claws which also held the giant retractable flails. It stepped out of the hidden chamber before laughing as any demon would, especially under the control of Blight
The demon started to whip both of it's large chained flails towards Drayko first, who dodged and had Toothless blast the Guardian with a round of Plasma Bolts which managed to cause Tartarussian to bleed out and smoke; but immediately smacked the Night Fury away very hard, causing some bruising injuries. Drayko counterattacked with an ramming into the Guardian with his Shield and letting out a flurry of fiery slashes, he was punched away as Eret ran up to the iron gibbeted demon and slashed away furiously with his dual swords; Maria fired off her arrows while Stormfly shot her spines against this Guardian, to which he spun his flail in circles to deflect some of the incoming projectiles
Cloudjumper tackled onto Tartarussian and attempted to maul the Guardian to death, Valka on the other hand used her Staff to bludgeon the flesh of the demon; which did cause some blood to be spilled out, but she also used it to hook onto one of the heads and slam the Guardian towards the wall. This allowed her to command the Knight's Dragons to bombard the demon with their combined fire types which had definitely put a dent and a blast onto the demon's flesh. But this did not stop it when Tartarussian flung his flail towards the Dragons and forced them to dodge, some of them were struck and sent flying backwards
Skullcrusher ran forward, sprinting with adrenaline rush before ramming into Tartarussian; to which the Guardian had caught the Rumblehorn's attack, but was being pushed back towards the wall once again. Using this distraction to his advantage, Raijah had Hookfang burst into flames and attack with a stream of Kerosene that immediately struck the Guardian while the former fired off his Phoenix Talon's retractable blades that stabbed into the denim blue flesh. The Scorching Vigilante immediately jumped forward and slashed across it's armored body. Maria also took this time to throw Arcticwind to free the Guardian in place and allow Raijah to set himself on fire, thanks to wearing pants made of his Nightmare's scales
Heather rushed forward with her Double Axe and spun it around herself against the demon like a cyclone, even resorting to rapidly stabbing it's exposed denim blue flesh in order to have it bleed out much faster. Combined with Windshear's bright blue fire and her skills with a weapon she created, this attacking streak had forced Tartarussian to try and smash the Razorwhip Raider; who dodged the incoming attack and slashed against one of the head's necks, slicing it enough to cause an stream of blood but not enough to decapitate the Guardian. She even used her debatably deceased late brother's Crossbow to fire a round of two bolts into the demon rapidly, distracting the Guardian and having Tartarussian fling his flail over to her; which she also dodged and threw her Double Axe towards, stabbing deep into it's skin
Not even Tartarussian was safe from Dragur and Rose's barraging assault of their own, consisting of an spinning Scythe Throw and a shower of acid upon the demon; the Guardian was forced to deflect their attacks regardless of the latter being acid of all substances, burning through his defenses. Arson opened fire on launching disc blades towards the Guardian while Vixen ran forward to dig her fangs into the demon's flesh, during this time Tartarussian smacked both Dagur and Rose away from attacking him but was instead bombarded with Raedwit igniting a explosive pair of Zippleback Grenades that both blinded and blasted the demon away. Drayko ran forward with Inferno in his right hand and slashed away at the remaining armor pieces as Toothless finished the fight off with an full powered Plasma Bolt to the chest
Tartarussian's flesh exploded from the impact as the demon lost it's balance, tipping backward and falling on it's back; the Guardian was defeated at last, disappearing in a rotting vortex of demonic blood that it spilled all around itself. Now it was made clear that Blight was here before they came, due to the presence of demons in this sacred tomb dedicated to the Prince of Emperor Dretzymiro. There was just something unfathomly suspicious about the presence of Blight's Demons be present here, they wouldn't be attacking a place like this at all; it's clearly not in their unpredictable and questionable nature.
Once the Amulet was taken and the Sword of Emperor Dretzymiro was released from it's resting place thanks to the likes of Jacqueline, this rumbling in the tomb had shaken off the thick dust and stone dirt to reveal a carving of more lore about the Fallen Emperor himself. What it stated was that the Emperor had felt responsible for the curse of his own people and the plague of the demons that roamed Mierviea Vde Rallie that still continued to this day, although back then it was a rare occurrence while here it's becoming more common than not. A warrior by the name of Ivorius Helmbreaker was ordered by him to take his own life, which he did without question for he knew what the Fallen Emperor wanted: to die with forgiveness than to live with the fear of everyone rising against him after what his son had done to them all. However, that was just a sign of his madness without being with his son
"Not even my husband was safe from madness, it's been a long while since we lost our son" Jacqueline felt guilty for not telling them this earlier, Drayko only glared as he turned away and told the Knights to move out for he wanted some answers for how Drago got his Bewilderbeast at the Cathedral. Once again Vixen was held in Raedwit's arms and Maria looked back at the wall one last time before following Drayko's lead
HTTYD
By the time they exited out of the Tomb belonging to the unrestful son of Emperor Dretzymiro and Empress Jacqueline, there was a sudden shout giving the order to fire as well as a catapult launching an flaming, molten, burning and hardened boulder of soil that aimed towards the Knights; which they easily dodged as the projectile made impact and the Dragon Hunters revealed themselves, with Viggo just so happening to be leading this little group of archers, arbalists, swordsmen, axe-wielders and other such Hunters
"Viggo!" Raijah yelled as the Dragon Hunter's Commander (A/N: Not the one from Enemy of my Enemy, he comes later...) jumped down and taunted Drayko by saying this to him
"That was too easy for us, you on the other hand is pathetically predictable to lead us here; like a moth to the burning flame" Drayko's eyes narrowed as Viggo silenced the Commander by shutting him up before speaking to him
"I should thank you for saving our Hunters the trouble of having to go into that Tomb with our best men by our side. And I see you've gotten yourself acquainted with our little spy that my brother tried to kill, I knew she would always find a way out of messes she gets into" He had his arms crossed
"Viggo, what are you hiding from me about... that dickhead Grimmel?" He asked
"Consider this a reward, you never get enough to be happy with anyways; that and you're both older and wise enough to know the truth so here we go: Knowing that Grimmel is a Night Fury Hunter, he's not without taming Dragons of his own as he can't do it alone. Tell me have you ever met a Deathgripper before? Like Changewings they have their own Acid Blasts and unlike any others you've seen before, they have mantis pincers for arm. Not only do they have a sedative sting but they also sport huge tusks and even worse: they're cannibals like Death Songs and I know how much you hate them, I can see the image of their species burning alive by your blade and forcing them to change their diet. I assure you, Deathgrippers are even WORSE because they do not just seek Toothless as you call him..." Without warning, Drayko immediately burst into flames with a rant
"God dammit, motherfucker! Those cannibal loving assholes! Those fucking devils without a heart! Hunting down Night Furies and loving that motherfucking asshole like their favorite hero instead of murdering those Amber-spraying dickheads?! I must be the most biggest fucking moron in the whole fucking Archipelago! I'm gonna rip their fucking tusks out and shove it up their fucking shitholes just to show how cold and fucking heartless they are before I kill them all myself!" He screamed out in his dreadful and unbounded but uncontrollable anger, all while violently swinging Inferno against the environment before slamming one Hunter into the rocks and breaking another one's ribs with a single punch to the chest; steaming worse than overcooked food
"I warned them all what happened if you found out, worse than they expected. Now then let's skip ahead to the juicy bits that we came here for. I have a second compensation for you but first, hand them over will you?" He demanded calmly, Drayko, not trusting another word from Viggo and pissed enough at knowing the truth about a New Dragon who was responsible for killing Toothless' kind, throws the Sword towards the treebranch to the west side of him and throws the Amulet to the bushes. Viggo took this as a challenge
"Yeah that must've slipped through my mind, knowing me your reward comes first as I am an honorable- no, a well meant and fair buisnessman is more like it since you hate hearing the word Honor, and I shouldn't trouble you any further now" He unsheathed his Original Sword his back and held it by his side. "But of course, you're willing to earn that compensation firsthand" Drayko responded by igniting Inferno and bringing out his Shield to fight
"Viggo, you've gone insane" A Hunter called him out
"And you're all getting soft on these Knights, what difference does it make?" Viggo countered
Before the two leaders could fight and duel each other however, an familiar toxic green mist had started to emerge from the Tomb to infect Viggo and the Hunters; the latter having collapsed on their knees and violently vomiting the remains of what once was onto the ground while the former had the worst of it all, feeling the pain of eternal bleeding in his skin and weakening him to the point of being unable to fight. Blight materialized from the thick mist and appeared before Viggo,"He is mine and mine alone to duel, no one else has the right mortal"
"Damn you, interfering with our business. This is just the beginning, we will duel each other before one of us becomes victorious in the end; do not forget that warning Drayko" He vomited painfully and harshly one last time before retreating with his men. Blight on the hand turned to face Drayko
"I have returned for you Drayko Ryder, Slayer of Red Death. The unmatched powers of Goldnail shall dispel your infernal beast from our Duel that will determine the fate of Mierviea Vde Rallie" The demon pointed Goldnail towards Drayko as he continued on,"You may know who I am now, but that does not mean that I know more of the same about who you really are behind the mask!" Drayko ignored him and instead shot a silver crescent blade that slashed through him. The Crescent Blades acted more as a substitute for arrows
"Your beliefs of who I am means nothing, now shut the hell up and let's fight" They both got into a fighting stance as the Knights stood back to watch this fight unfold. Yes it's unnecessary as they can easily take on Blight together, but Blight's toxic mist is just too much to handle; then again it's because Blight will do terrible things for interfering, he's after Drayko after all (A/N: I'm damn aware that I don't give any of the other characters focus, but that's because this is Drayko's story and the tale of revenge has been told one way or another. I do this because he's the Main Protagonist and I do give some of the others their own time, might as well write a series of mythologies of what goes on for the Knights. I did write that but stopped at Maria, the first one, because it just wasn't my thing whenever I attempt to write Fanfics for other sources; you've all been through that phase more than once, I can tell you that for sure)
Blight began his attack first by running towards Drayko, who blocked his incoming attacks before retaliating with his own; a flurry of sword swings and slashes against the demonic living armor possessed by an toxic green mist all around, to which Blight had kicked him away and began a new attack that involved the same as before; except Goldnail never left it's sheathed position since it was so fast, he slightly unsheathed it as a cone shaped distortion that covered itself in sword slashes. Drayko blocked the attack with his Shield and fired another round of Crescent blades towards Blight, forcing the demon onto the defensive while he came rushing in to deliever a barrage of frontal to backal (A/N: I know it's dorsal, but who's writing this?) attacks. Still in rage over the Deathgrippers being responsible, his senses were blocked out; Blight used to his advantage and smacked him away, but had a trick up his sleeve for him
Drayko proceeded to flip Inferno in his hand into a Reverse Grip position, releasing some highly unstable Zippleback Gas and throwing it towards Blight; stabbing him right through as he ignited the sword and pumped a Zippleback Grenade combined with the gas to create a big explosion, this also caused the cursed sword Goldnail to become damaged and in turn: cause Blight become injured and also caused him to say this
"This arena is not suitable for our duel, allow us to fight more freely of our own choice" With that now stated, Blight used his demonic powers of the Underworld to ensare the Knights and envelop them in a storm of his own toxic aura; taking them out of Mierveia Vde Rallie and to a much more suitable environment in the Archipelago, which just so happens to be none other than Drenchwood Forest
Drenchwood Forest was full of tall rainforests all around and overgrown vines everywhere, streams going down due to all the torrential rain that comes pouring down. The whole environment was overflowing with such constant raging storms that finding a dry place is a bitch. If Spitelout was here, he would call this a paradise for the Tidal Dragons
Blight and the Knights appeared atop a large rocky platform of a thick pillar that stood above the overflowing and high rapid streams and waterfalls in the background. Now that they were in a more suitable location, Drayko and Blight continued their duel against one another; their sharp swords and blades clashing with sparks flying and fizzing out, the deafening storms were drowned out by the metal clashing sounds of their swords dancing in each other's hands. The singing melody in the mist and rain continued on until it silenced all at once with Drayko and Blight disarming one another as their swords flew into the air and stabbed the ground, now it was serious. They resorted to brawling by the use of punches, kicks and other such unarmed moves; swinging against each of their target's body parts and slamming down hard on each other, of course Drayko had decided to keep his distance. So he can do this
"SLOWDOWN!" He yelled as everything flashed and turned negative, everything was slowed down as a part of the Time Manipulation function of The Bangle of Chrono Quicksilver. He took this time to reclaim Inferno back and slash the ever unliving hell (A/N: That was intentional because Blight is a demon) out the cursed sword Goldnail, landing in as many slashes and slices before the time slowing effect wore off and everything resumed in the normal speed. But because of what Drayko did earlier, Blight was left severely wounded once again with him splurging out his own crimson and human like blood; spraying everywhere as he was weakened. Raedwit interfered by striking the demon with lightning from his spear, joining in beating down on the demon as Heather held Vixen to cover her eyes from the sight. Before then, the weakened Blight spoke out to the Empress
"The fractured shell of a mortal you called your beloved Prince was too weak, too spineless and was destined to die by my hands and my hands alone. You will know the true meaning of the hell that will become of this land"
"You took my Prince away from me, the Emperor will damn you back to hell from where you came. Be certain of that!" Jacqueline attacked using her Jian Sword, but Blight was easily able to block the attack as the demon laughed and slashed her face; leaving a bleeding scar on her cheek
"You continue to try everything in your and the Emperor's power to keep me at bay from taking your son, only for me to do it myself and take him away by force in the end. Drayko, this will not be the final time we meet; mark these words as now you will be cursed by the one who calls himself, the Dragon God..." Blight vanished in his own toxic mist once again and returned the Knights back to the entrance of the Tomb, the duel has been once but he will return soon
"Looks like Drayko's finally got someone who can rival him in combat" Raijah commented
"Tell me about it, he looks like he got stronger than last time" Eret replied
Drayko didn't care at all and mounted onto Toothless, turning to them and flicking his head silently to the direction of the cathedral; to which they understood and complied, taking off to the skies and having Vixen jump onto his shoulder before licking his his face. "I'll be alright Vixen, there ain't no stopping Legends like us" He reassured as he brought out his new Flight Helmet which looked far more different than before, he would always wear this whenever he took off into long flights
Drayko's Flight Helmet had an diagonally pointed downward cowl with three holes on each side and six more metallic layered parts that went backwards and downwards on the back of his head, going down and covering every part of his skin. The interior sported an black chainmail head that covered his head and did not come off separately when removed. The black part of the Helmet had the crimson flames and silver wings of Drayko's mask and his hair still flowed out due to the chainmail being connected to the front and around the part of the helmet (A/N: This is supposed to resemble the Black Ice Helmet from the Kult of Athena, look it up because you'll understand what I'm talking about)
In the meantime, Fishlegs and Heather had begun to develop some feelings for one another; but chose to keep it hidden from the others as that's what Drayko would've done. It was at this point that Heather told Fishlegs this: "You know, I don't think I'm going back to the Island anytime soon; I'm starting to like this little war going on, even if it doesn't get me any closer to finding where my Brother is"
"You do have some good mapping skills, I can build you an Hut at the Dragon's Edge thanks to the Shovelhelms I tamed by myself; although Drayko did tame two of them with me, just to help me since I've seen him do it lots of times" Heather smiled and replied with this
"I would like that..."
Due to the time that was spent in the tomb and the duel between a Dragon Rider and a Demon, the sun began to go down and nightfall began to approach as the Knights get closer to the Cathedral and Drago's rage for Blight's interference burns stronger than any fires in the hell he's created
The Fishlegs/Heather relationship and the Drayko/Maria relationship is NOWHERE near close as shipping, it does not count as I am using very basic tropes to help build up this romance. You know, baby steps before they get their kiss in the end; that kind of substance. Oh and speaking of which, I had a little idea for "Knights of the Dragon Riders: Crusaders of the 5th Age" which focuses on heavy Greek Mythology lore with historical truths and my own twists and spins on it; for example: Gods of Olympus have their actual personalities, with Athena being portrayed as a malevolent bitch and Hades being portrayed as passive, unconcerned for the affairs of what goes on in Greece but quick to anger if anyone dares to cross him or just simple take his beloved Persephone, very strict when it came to letting in the living/dead in and out of the Underworld and does NOT take too well when it comes to Athena's scheming
I can't help telling you what I'm planning up ahead for the Knights of the Dragon Riders stories, I love writing them. Remember, this is a suggestion: Don't Like it, don't read it. Otherwise, Feel feel to Review and Until we meet again next time; I shall return...
