The Northlands

Chapter 5

Seph started walking with Fallenheart but tripped and fell face first in the snow. It was a dragonspawn, from head to toe it was covered in steel armor; its head was like a dragons!

Seph stared at it and said "what do you know about the death bleeder gem?" The dragonspawn opened its eyes and spoke, "you do not present any harm?"

"No, we just want the ruby,"

The dragonspawn said "follow me…"

Seph stood up and followed the dragonspawn through the peaks. Seph followed him through a small cave and the dragonspawn said "quiet; we're in enemy territory…"

Seph stared around and seen large-toothed creatures with brown skin and millions of spikes, they looked sort of like bulls except with spikes instead of hair, wours! But they appeared to be sleeping.

Seph was being very quiet and so was Fallenheart, when a sleeping creature started rolling and bumped into Fallenheart.

Fallenheart stared at it and the dragonspawn instructed "step out of the wours reach," Fallenheart slowly stepped out and slipped out of the cave.

The dragonspawn walked along until they reached a magnificent fortress. Its walls were made from marble and it was decorated with velvet cloth hanging from the walls.

They walked inside and seen thousands of dragon spawns guarding a door. Seph and Fallenheart walked through the door.

A threatening growl echoed through this place, it was a large room, made from marble. In the middle of the room was a frost dragon, but it was sleeping.

The dragons scales were a shimmering pale pink, but it looked like frosted glass, its wings were white and magnificent, two bluish horns stuck from its head.

A large nest full of blue eggs was right behind the dragon, blue swirls were on the eggs.

Seph quietly slipped towards the eggs and picked one out. The egg felt smooth, yet warm.

Seph put the egg in his pocket. Seph opened the door and seen another dragonspawn, yet this one looked like the leader, he was wearing velvet and had a crown made from ice fire, a beautiful gem.

The king had a large dark red gem, the death bleeder gem. Seph ran towards him and drew his sword and said "we need that gem" The dragon lord turned his head and said "well; a man dressed in black wolf skin gave it to me." The dragon lord handed the death bleeder gem to him but then a loud screech was heard.

The screech drew everyone's attention to the window. A large parakeet perched on the window; it flew towards the death bleeder gem… and grabbed it.

The parakeet dropped the geom. And a liskarr grabbed it, it was Zalazane! Zalazane was dressed in a chain suit and had a helmet made from a wolf skull.

Ten liskarr broke through the wall, but these ones had red scales instead of teal, these were sentinels.
