Chapter 2 last ditch risk

A/n: damn! I just posted this story and already i see 19 reads, One favorite and two alerts! That...was quick...anyway this will be a bit slow for now, So try to be patient for when the acton comes down the road. I want everyone to meet and bond before the gate arrives. Not only that, But there will something very important involving that chaos draconians blood that I mentioned last chapter.

Corthal was making his way to his army of hunter knights as he was still smirking as he walked out of the senate building, As he made his way to his loyal army and his favorite horse, He decided to visit someone before his leave.

-pina-co-lada's palace-

Corthal's palace was not far from his sister or his younger brother Williams. He made sure to have Williams palace destroyed and have his expanded upon, He never regretted it since after what he did. Corthal sighed as he tightened his fists at the thought of what he saw that day.

"You broke my heart when you betrayed all of us, William..." Corthal said bitterly as he made his way to Pina's room. He walked into the building as he made his way down the hallway in her palace to see his sister not in her room, But in her personal garden looking at the sunsetting. Corthal smiled as he saw his sister doing what she loved, It was cute, And he found her little hobby adorable. Something that he also did on his free time when he read up on magic.

"Quite a wonderful view, Wouldn't you say Pina?" Corthal said happily startling his sister. "Corthal! Don't do that to me you almost made me go for my dagger!" Pina said angrily, Corthal held up his hands defensively.

"Now now sister, I didn't mean any harm" he said "I only came to see you before I go off for the hunt".

This quickly perked Pina's ears as she quickly turned her head to him "To go!? Then...father has answered your request then?" She asked him. Corthal could only nod his head as he made his way over to her "Indeed, I've been waiting for this for a long time Pina. And now I'll finally get that chance to at last gain chaos dragon blood".

"But...!".

"Yes?".

"But...chaos draconians are rare, And not only that, Are extremely powerful to face. You're hunter knights would be destroyed! And you...might not come back..." Pinta said sadly as she teared up at the thought of losing her favorite brother, Corthal sighed calmly as he then placed his hand on his sister's head and rubbed it as she looked up at him. Corthal started to smile a bit.

"Heh heh, You've always been worried about me" he said "Don't worry I'll be okay. I promise you that Pina".

Pina started to calm herself down as she heard his words that he'd promised to return home from the hunt. Pina and Corthal then saw the sun setting even lower. Corthal looked at his sister sadly "I have to go Pina" he said "I'll be back soon, I mean it!".

Pina just smiled at her brother as she then nodded at him "I know that you've never broken any of your promises to me! And I know, Like always that you'll keep this one. But please...if it's too much for you to handle. Please retreat!" Pina said as she then hugged him, Corthal returned her hug as the two kept hugging until Corthal broke away from her grip. He then began to set off to his soldiers before Pina called to him again.

"Should I tell William that you're leaving?" Pina asked him, Corthal sighed bitterly, He knew that his sister was the only person that still loved him dearly. All of the others, Including himself have outright shunned him after the incident 3 years ago. Corthal looked back at his sister to give his answer. "Go ahead and tell him...it's not like he'll be there to see me go!". And with that Corthal took his leave for the hunt. Pina nodded as she then made her way to the dungeon.

-Corthal's fleet-

Corthal walked out of Pina's palace and to his mighty hunter knights who were waiting ever so patiently for their leader. As he made his way to them, He saw them then begin to cheer for his presence as he made his way to his personal black horse that was covered in armor, Made by him of course as he grabbed his custom great shield and great lance and got on top of his steed. He then road forward in front of his men.

"Hunter knights!" Corthal said proudly "Today we have been given special permission! And our call has been answered, Tonight, We shall hunt the draconians! And we shall have their scales as our trophies! Not only that, But this year we shall take down a chaos draconian! I know what you're all thinking. And I fully understand your concerns. But in case of any critical incident should accrue on this night. Flee! Don't try to take on the prey with all your might if you sense that your foe is too powerful! Understand!?".

All of the hunter knights nodded and roared at their leaders speech as they then pulled out their swords and spears, And meteor hammers. Corthal smiled at his men as he then made his horse raise it's front hoofs into the air as he got his great lance ready for his prize.

"To the far mountains!".

Corthal and his hunter knights all then road their horses out of the Empire and to the hills to go after the draconians for this years hunt.

-the far mountains-

The far mountains, An area where the draconians lived in peace. Well, Where some lived anyway. Some chose to live away from the humans and some were taught to hate humans. Some worshiped their deity Giselle, While other draconians didn't. Either way the draconians that lived in the far mountains wanted nothing to do with humans or any other kind that wasn't their own. But a special type of draconians live here as well, A kind that were met with envy and distain by their fellow draconians, And were outright shunned...

The chaos draconians.

The chaos draconians are rare, With the first one being born long ago, And it's offsprings coming afterwards. Chaos draconians are known to be very special and extremely powerful. Unlike their draconians kind, Thanks to their magic blood they have the ability of longevity. And are able to live for a very long time. Their blood also has other properties as well; Like healing, Super speed, Super strength, And access to magic. However the magic part was what caught humans off guard.

Magic exists in Falmart but it's use is limited to a few specialist sorcerers, meaning it's impact on the lives of the citizens of the region is likewise, limited. Falmart Magic appears to be means of manipulating natural processes such as chemical interactions and fundamental forces of the universe in a manner which is not completely understood by the residents of Falmart. The ability to manipulate natural forces appears to be limited by the user's understanding of said force.

However this is how the humans way of magic is known, As many other races in Falmart do magic in a different way. Elves and sirens of Falmart use what is called "Spirt magic". Which appears to function differently than the magic used by humans, and appears to be easier to use even at their level of primitive scientific understanding. Many believe that this is where the magic that the chaos draconians stands at.

However chaos draconians use magic by what they call "Envision and focus". A chaos draconian can use magic to create whatever that they envision in their mind and just have to focus on that vision in their head to make it a reality. Their ability with this is not as limited as with humans and magic, But it's still being debated if this is considered a form of spirit magic or not.

In the far mountains only four chaos draconians exist:

First was Tohru, Tohru's dragon form was that of a green European dragon with black wings, Light green underbelly, And was four stories high.

The second was Fafnir, His dragon form was that of a black with 3-4 pairs of pure red eyes. He was in his cave asleep.

The third was Kanna, Her dragon form consisted of a white dragon with a long neck and angel like wings.

And lastly was Quetzalcoatl, She was arriving back to her friends after her time with the humans. Her dragon form was that of a black feathered serpent, With gold colored markings on her face. Quetzalcoatl was close to her destination as she then used her magic to transform into her human form as she then landed her feet onto the ground. Quetzalcoatl walked over to Kanna who was looking at the moon until she felt a tap on her leg.

"Looking at the moon Kanna?" Quetzalcoatl asked her with a large smile as she patted her leg gently, Kanna nodded as she leaned her head down to her. "Still thinking about your parents sweetie?" Quetzalcoatl asked her.

"Mhm..." Kanna muttered under her breath "Why did they leave me

All alone?".

"Because you were born a chaos draconian, That's why!" Tohru said bitterly.

Quetzalcoatl looked over at Tohru and sighed at her "Now Tohru, You can't blame your or Kanna's parents for what they did. I understand, You're bitter about your father leaving you when he found out. But look on the bright side, You have us, So we count as a family somewhat" she said.

That's when Fafnir started to wake up from his slumber as he then proceeded to walk out of his cave and look at Quetzalcoatl with disdain. More so her human appearance than anything else. He never liked humans, And always never understood why Quetzalcoatl would always refer to use her human form and interact with the humans in the first place.

Fafnir laid down as he had his arms over one another "Why do you insist to keep using that human form? You rarely use your true form anymore these days" he asked her out of curiosity. Quetzalcoatl smirked as she walked over to him, Her large chest bouncing with each step. "Oh come on Fafnir! Live a little" Quetzalcoatl said happily "The humans that I hang out with are fun, And are very friendly. Plus I get to know about them more and more each day. You should try it, It might come in handy".

"I'd rather die..." Fafnir said bitterly "But I can't change your mind so why bother trying".

"I'm with Fafnir, Why do the humans interest you so much Quetzalcoatl? Where's your pride as a dragon?!" Tohru asked her.

"I'm with lady Tohru!" Kanna added in.

Quetzalcoatl sighed as she crossed her arms under her large breasts. "Jeez, You guys are no fun. Come on, Don't the three of you ever get a little curious about how the humans act?". The three looked at each other then back at her.

"No..." they said in unison.

"Ugh...killjoys...".

-meanwhile-

Corthal and his hunter knights were making there way to the far mountains, They were getting very close to their home. "Okay, Once we see them. Ready your arrows" Corthal said to his knights, All of his hunter knights nodded at their leader as they got their bows and crossbows ready for the attack. They road their horses up to the top of the cliffs, Being careful not to fall, As they made their way to the top. Corthal stopped his armored horse as he and the rest of the knights got off their horses and started to kneel down as they made their way to their pray.

It took a few minutes for them to see small mass of draconians, Corthal was carefully examining each one, He raised his hand up a bit to signal his soldiers to ready their weapons.

"Fire!".

The hunter knights then all fired their boss and crossbows at the Draconians as they were then bombarded by a hailstorm of arrows. The few draconians that were caught in the volley of arrows were instantly killed. "Humans! It's the sign of the hunt! Run!" One of the draconians said as some of them stood their ground to fight. The few hunter knights then pulled out their swords, Meteor hammers, And greataxes and charged at them. Corthal then grabbed his great lance and great shield and ran after the draconians and began to start impaling them one by one with little effort on his part. He was trained to handle any situation that was thrown at him from an early age, And this was nothing more than child's play to him.

"Hunters! Kill any draconians that stand in your way! Be careful, And if you find yourself overwhelmed. Retreat! Don't waste your life away! I'm going to find a chaos draconian and claim it's blood!" Corthal said as he then ran far into the mountains. As that was going on. Fafnir, Kanna, Tohru, And Quetzalcoatl all then heard the sounds of screams and blades clashing.

"What's that sound?" Kanna said as she was still hearing the sounds.

Fafnir glanced up to see smoke from the small town of the draconians.

"Smoke? A Fire perhaps?" He said.

Tohru then sniffed the air as she then got up to her feet and growled "No! Humans!" She said. "It must be the hunter knights..." Quetzalcoatl said "I guess the hunt was today...".

The others looked at her with confusion.

"What hunt?" Tohru asked.

"The day of the hunt, It's a yearly thing that the humans have once a year. Mostly the humans from the empire do this hunt stuff, And pick out a race to go after. I guess that means that...".

"We've been their choice to hunt after..." Fafnir said angrily. Tohru then started to flap her wings as she then took flight into the air "Well, Shunned by our own race or not, I won't let these worthless humans kill my race!" She said as she then flew into the air after the smoke. Fafnir then looked at Quetzalcoatl.

"Still think humans are "Fun and friendly" now?".

"I'm still sticking by that yes" Quetzalcoatl said "But we can speak about this latter. We have to protect our home". Fafnir snorted as he and Kanna flew after Tohru, Quetzalcoatl turned into her dragon form and followed suit.

-elsewhere-

Corthal was killing draconians left and right. It didn't matter who it was. Men, Women, Children, Elderly. It made no difference to him, They were wild animals nothing more, Nothing less. He killed a draconian child with his great lance as he stepped on it's corpse and pulled out his lance.

"Damn...not a single chaos draconian in sight..." he said in dissatisfaction "I wonder if-".

His words were cut off when he heard the sounds of roars in the sky. He looked up to see four different draconians flying at the smoke that was in the air, Corthal was in awe and shock. He didn't see one chaos draconian, He saw four. He started to smile with determination in his eyes.

"There you are!" He yelled as he was about to go after them, Until Tohru actually spotted him as she landed close to him and was about to breath fire at him until Corthal ran at her side and stabbed her belly with his great lance. Causing Tohru pain as she held her side. Corthal then pulled out his meteor hammer and threw it at her mouth as the chain connected and started to wrap itself around her mouth, Closing it shut. Corthal smiled as he then saw Tohru proceeded to swipe at him with her free hand. He used his great shield to block it, But that was a bad decision as he was sent flying into some rocks.

"Agh...heh, You're a strong one!" Corthal said as he got to his feet and picked up his great lance and held it above his head "But I will receive what I came here for!". He then threw his great lance at her with enough force that, As Tohru was busy with the meteor hammer around her mouth, She actually glanced over a bit too late to notice the great lance coming her way as it impaled her backside, Causing tremendous pain to her.

Tohru snarled and glared at Corthal who then pulled out his sword of the stars and held up his shield and ran at her.

"You're mine, Chaos draconian!".

However before he could claim her blood, She flapped her wings at him to keep him at bay. Corthal quickly used his shield as cover as he slammed it into the ground and got behind it as he pulled out his bow and arrow. He waited for the dragon to stop blowing him away with it's wings so he could take a shot at her. That's when he felt the air die down as he glanced over his shield to see Tohru place her front legs down as she panted and looked over at her injury. The lance within her backside was in pretty deep, And she was losing blood fast.

Corthal took this as an opportunity to strike back as he ran from his cover after her, Readying his sword.

"Now it ends!" Corthal said as he came close to attack for her head, Only for Kanna, Fafnir, And Quetzalcoatl to come to Tohru's aid. Kanna then flicked Corthal away from them as he slammed into his great shield, Knocking him unconscious.

"Tohru! You're hurt..." Kanna said with worry. Tohru glanced at her "It's fine..." she said "What about the others? Are they-".

"Their dead..." Quetzalcoatl said sadly "They killed them when we arrived. But we took out some of the remaining hunter knights, While some of the others fled. We need to get out of here!". Tohru agreed as she then used her magic to create a glyph as it then started to glow all over as she then placed her right paw on it.

"Follow me! They won't come after us in this!" Tohru said as she went into her portal. The others followed suit, As Kanna was the last to get in. Corthal came out of his unconsciousness. "Ugh...hmm...NO!" Corthal shouted as he grabbed his sword and quickly ran after the glyph portal. But it had quickly closed up when he made it halfway. Corthal stopped running as he panted, Angry at his unsuccessful attempt to gain the chaos draconian blood that he desperately wanted.

"Dammit! It was almost mine!" Corthal said in a rage until he heard the sounds of horses footsteps come to him, He turned around to see what was left of his hunter knights. One of his soldiers had his horse for him. "Your horse sir" the hunter knight said as Corthal walked over to them.

"Thank you..." Corthal said.

"Did you claim the dragons head?".

"No...they escaped...they were a formidable opponent I will say. How is everyone else?".

"Sir! Some of them were overwhelmed by the other draconians. And we lost some of our men in the process. But all the draconians that we killed are all gone, Minus the few dragon eggs that were scattered around. What should we do with them?".

Corthal then got onto his horse and looked at his knight "Take all the dead draconian bodies back to the empire, As well as the fallen knights that were slain. Leave the dragon eggs, We won't need them" he said.

"Sir! I shall have the order done at once!" The soldier said as he rode his horse to inform the others. Corthal sighed as he looked at the night sky.

"This isn't over...I will claim that blood!" He said as he then rode off to regroup with his men.
