Chapter 11

I'm back again everyone. Welcome to another chapter of The rings. I plan on ending the story within 20 chapters simply cause I'm going to cut out a large piece of it and possibly make that period of time another story. This chapter will explain that to you. I'm making for that last chapter cause it was a bit short so yeah. Enjoy!

Kyler was wondering about last nights dream. It occurred to him it was WW2 within the dream but couldn't have been the present. That reminded him of something as he continued down a stone spiral staircase. Today was the anniversary of when Kyler and Chrystal had come here. He wondered if the elders or his friends would do something about it. Perhaps his best friend Cheriklyee (Dragon scripture for Anthony) was going to do something. Why was he his best friend? Well for one he's dating Cynder as Kyler took it from spying on him once. He tried not to ask but his humor got the best of him. Kyler knew Anthony ever since the 4th day of being here and having to go to "Dragon School". more like pure fun and easy good grades. They were sitting in a history class seating chart and met that way. Cheriklyee was charismatic and funny so they became friends fast. Kyler continued to remember how it started as he entered the Great Hall. They shared the same interests. As far as a dragon that came from earth, Cheriklyee found Kyler's humor hilarious. Kyler had told him about things on earth like videogames and TV. Things like space and technology. While it was nothing particular to Kyler, this was sounding like it was great at earth. Kyler mentioned the flesh eating virus that is as of the moment spreading and killing many people. Cheriklyee asked about how he could try and fight them off. Kyler had answered with the fact that there was about eight billion people on the earth. There was no way that Kyler could take them all on. Even with experience to handle a gun it was a impossible. Cheriklyee believed it was it improbable.

Kyler walked into the kitchen and found no one. Hmmm…odd? Usually the cook was there if no one else but he was gone too. Kyler looked behind him as a reaction and sow no one. It was a Saturday so no school. Or "11th to the Fourth moon" as Kyler read on a nearby calendar, today had nothing special marked so where were all of them. Kyler used his wings to boost jump his way unto the massive stool and looked at what he considered a sink for a long time. It had no dishes, Chef always washes the dishes at night before bed, so no one ate breakfast. Kyler leaped from the chair, fell for about eight feet before landing softly. He looked around again and rubbed his eyes. Where ARE they? Kyler stopped and kneeled to the ground and listen to the low frequency sounds, a skill he leaned by harnessing his blue electrical element. He listened and could not here anything except the normal water flow from the crafted pipes and occasional signals from bugs nearby. He tried as hard as he can to sense sound but didn't hear a thing. He stepped up and looked around disturbed and slightly frightened. He stepped out into the hall way and walked to the one of the balconies and looked around. He twitched. The usually bustling and active market city of Warfang was absolutely abandoned. Not a soul in sight. Not one. He took off and flew for a moment. He learned about his skill in flight to be easy and found it to be a very normal and standard thing to do. Looking around as he flew he saw nothing. Then he looked toward the large coliseum and turned to flew toward it. When he got to the ledge and balanced himself instantly, he almost fell when no one was in the seats or arena. Usually at least a couple of dragons are down there sparring everyday. He turned around again. It was a habit that was returning cause no one was there that time again. He flew toward the marketplace and landed in one of the many intersections and not one store had its open sign turned or even.

"Hello!…You guys got me! You can come out now!" Kyler Yelled out loud.

No answer. Kyler looked around as if someone was watching him, he took flight once again. He flew fast back to the Citadel and got to the front gate. Kyler blinked and he was on the ground. He got up and saw everyone surrounding him. Chrystal, Anthony and most of his friends. The Elders where there too.

"Uhh.. What?" Kyler stuttered.

"You were going around for no reason dude. I was the only one that could keep up with you heheh…you sure scared us cause you were talking to yourself." Anthony spoke

Kyler stood up and said "uh… You all were gone and…."

"What?" Everyone almost asked in unison.

Kyler saw the gate of the Citadel was right there. He got up fast and glanced off everyone in his way and jerked open the gate and ran inside. Kyler wanted to go into his room. This was not just happening, his worst prediction from the Chronicler that said could happen. No. it cant be.

"Kyler!?" Kyler Heard someone call after him as he ran down the hall.

Kyler Grabbed the door open and shuffled under his bed and pulled a small wooden box from it. Currently he was wearing his handcrafted old fashion cloak-sweater wrap. His hood was usually down everyday. He took a key from one of his necklaces and unlocked the box. Within was the Eagle with all eleven of the unused clips. He struggled to handle the weapon with his paw-claws and managed to load a clip. He struggled the powerful Handgun into his side satchel, also handcrafted. The clips were harder to handle. Once he got those into the satchel. Once he got up to leave Chrystal entered the room.

"Kyler what's going on?" She hesitated to ask.

"I have to go to the Chronicler, I think it happening."

"What's happening?"

"I will have to talk to you later sorry, its too important." Kyler brushed passed her and walked down the hall to leave.

As he did so he pulled his hood over his head and left his face to be unrevealed and started to walk with a building pace. Then a red blast exploded in front of him. Kyler fell over and rolled back up into a ready stance and instantly stopped. It was the tall ugly and boney black monster. It was walking from the red portal like explosion and toward Kyler.

"Stop him…stop him…stop him…" That dark voice whispered.

"He has cheated…he must not be allowed….to live…"

"He must face his fate…He must die…"

Kyler started to walk backwards and as a result the monster stalked closer and faster. He wanted to run, and he wanted to fight but it would be impossible to kill it or escape… This can't be happening…the monster got too close and swung its ugly rotten arm and hit Kyler. When it did so Kyler saw his Left ring that fizzed with the dark energy all those years ago, launching bolts of it everywhere, in result immense pain Kyler screamed at the hammer and nail on his left paw-arm. It made him fall over and he looked up to the monster to see it leaving back into the red portal. Kyler heard the familiar electricity his rings made when he teleported that time ago…instead of blue, red. His vision blurred, and he felt like puking and passed out…

When Kyler opened his eyes with pain and weakness, he was lying on his back and was looking up. He saw trees and a yellow sky.

There. it's a bit long and short for those on PC's but yeah. I'm going to get a picture for this book cover. Well I will see you all soon. Please. Review…
