Chapter 3
Friendly fire.
Rodny suddenly felt like he hit the ground. He opened his eyes and saw that he really had hit en the ground. After he had completely woken up he looked around to see that Spyro and Cynder where standing next to Hunter who had his bow raised. He quickly got up.
- Did you get my weapons?- Rodny quickly asked.
- How do you carry all those weapons?- Hunter asked. Hunter got his bow and his shield out of a backpack. Then Rodny noticed that Spyro and Cynder where each holding something in there cute little jaws. Cynder dropped his long sword and Spyro dropped his broad sword.
Rodny strapped his broad sword and his shield on the back, put his long sword in it's sheet and put his bow on his shoulder. Hunter and the others where watching amazed at his strength at how he was actually carrying all the weapons.
- What? I have the strength of a full grown dragon. Now, where are we going?- Rodny said rubbing his hands together.
- Um... Yea follow us.- Hunter said and started walking.
In half an hour or so Spyro asked.
- What did you mean when you said you have the power of a full grown dragon Rodny?
- I mean I'm connected physically and spiritually with a dragon in my world. By physically i mean i have her strength. But we also feel the same things. Like if i get my arm cut off she wont be able to use hers. And the other way around. By spiritually i mean she sometimes knows how i feel and the other way around. And we can where we are. But since i have been here i haven't been able to sense her- Rodny explained. Every one was listening to him with great interest.
- Amazing. Do all dragons in your world do that- Hunter asked.
- Yes. There are even some that do that before they are even hatched out of there eggs. And they can do it with every race not only humans. But from what i have seen is that hatchling born out from such a link are usually changed to look as much like the persons race.
After explaining all of this everyone got quiet until they reached some kind of stone door. Then Hunter went next to the door and chanted something witch opened made it open up on it's own.
- Actually where are we going- Rodny asked before entering the cave.
- Warfang. The dragon city- Cynder said smiling.
- Oh. Alextraza would like that. Let's go.
They had been walking for an unknown amount of time when they suddenly saw sunlight witch indicated they where either walking for a few hours or all night. I was wandering if any one else had gotten here when Spyro asked Hunter something.
- ... Warfang was build by the moles to honour there alliance with the dragons...- Then we heard something.
We quickly rushed forward until we reached a balcony. Then we saw millions of those things that resembled undead marching towards the city walls. There where at least thirty siege towers including one huge battle ram moving slowly towards the city. Then Hunter said.
- It has begun. Lets hurry.
And we started running again. While running we suddenly hear yelling. But the yell sounded very familiar. And then we saw a human knight dressed much like Rodny except for a different helmet. He was holding two huge swords and yelling.
- MORE BLOOD. I NEED MORE BLOOD- He said running towards the city walls ignoring anything on his way.
- Wait a second... That's Stormhammer. I guess he is in a frenzy again...- Rodny said removing his helmet and rubbing his fingers to his head- Ok you do whatever you want. I have to go catch him before he realizes that he can kill allies for more blood.- Rodny said put on his helmet and started running at his maximum speed. Stormhammer in frenzy mode. Damn. He was nearly unstoppable in berserk mode.
I followed him until he reached the city walls. Then he started climbing the walls. I got my bow out and shot my grappling hook on to the ledge of the wall and started climbing it hoping to be before Stormhammer. When i got up i saw Stormhammer was just finishing of a big group of those little things. Suddenly he rushed towards the end of the wall and jumped at the millions of creatures out side. I swore and tied a rope around one of the near by broken parts of a lookout tower and started climbing down. When i finally reached the bottom i quickly got my long sword and my shield out. I looked around for the trails of corpses that Stormhammer usually leaves behind. When i found it i started following it leaving my own trail of corpses behind me. Suddenly i saw a huge creature that resembled a ogre rushing towards me. I quickly started running towards it. It tried to smash me with one of it's huge arms but i dodged it. I started running up it's arm barely avoiding its other arm. The monster got it's arm out of the ground and started shaking. I quickly jumped in to the air and Stabbed it in the eye with my long sword.
I looked around and continued following the trail of bodies. On my way i saw three corpses of the huge monsters. Two had there legs cut off and one had both it's arms and legs cut off. Then i heard a roar from the sky and looked up. I saw a young adult dragon flying and burning everything beneath it. I quickly got my shield up and avoided being burned to a crisp. And then i saw a huge bolder flying towards the dragon. But this one wasn't like the others shot out from the siege towers. This one was a normal one. The dragon easily avoided it and continued to burn the creatures. I started following the direction from where the boulder was thrown. Then i saw Stormhammer lifting up another stone to throw. I quickly piked up another stone the size of my fist and aimed for Stormhammers head. I threw it with all my strength. I think i went a little over board with the strength because it exploded when it hit him in the head. he fell down unconscious with the rock falling on him. I pushed away the rock and picked him up. I strapped my shield back on my back and started running at full speed.
When Rodny looked around again he noticed that all the siege towers where destroyed and that the ram had opened the gate. I started running towards the gate cutting down everything in my way.
- Hmm... This is rather awkward- Stormhammer said having just woken up- You can let me on the ground now.
I quickly dropped him and started running towards the gate knowing that he was following me. Right before we got there the gate closed.
- SHIT... I'm gonna hold off these things you open the door- Stormhammer said and pulled out his storm hammer. He started repelling the creatures on his own smashing up to three with his hammer.
Rodny put his long sword in it's sheet and gathered all his strength. Then he started pushing the door open. At first it didnt even move a little but then it started opening little by little. Then right when you could see what was happening on the other side a small purple head showed up on the other side.
- WAIT stop pushing moles- Spyro yelled at them.
- Common Stormhammer- Rodny said and they pushed the door enough to enter. They quickly helped the others close the door again and continued holding it until it locked it self.
- I didn't know you where outside.- Cynder said looking at them.
- I was chasing Stormhammer.- Said breathing heavily- You should really use those damn sword less damn it...
- Yea... I just looked at the army coming at the city and decided for extreme measures- Stormhammer said laughing.
- I'm gonna hit you with a bigger rock next time.
Suddenly we hear horns blowing. Everyone rushed to the walls to see the army going back in to the circle of fire in the end.
- What the... Why are they retreating? They where winning hands down.
And then the damn fire golem came out of the fire.
- ... I really, really hate that thing.
The fire golem started burrowing under ground towards the town.
