Yeah, so I just finished beating Dawn of the Dragon, and I now realize some(most) of this story is now impossible because of that. Oh well. If you like facts, go read a dictionary.

Here's chapter 4. please don't hurt me!

Chapter 4: The Power of the Ancients

"How much farther, Netherfor? We've been walking for days!" Pyrus complained, and the wolf snarled. "There is a tunnel not far from here that goes to the Dragon City Warfang. From there, it's a two-day walk to the Temple. Would you keep quiet, Chick? We are nearing the Badlands, where the Apes patrol regularly." Netherfor snarled, and Pyrus sighed. "Why're you so scared of them? I killed a whole bunch inside the cave. They're sissies." Pyrus scoffed, fluttering his wings impatiently.

"You fought Malefor's weakest re-con force. The grunt soldiers on the border patrol are next to the elite, known to take down a well-grown, strong dragon-master alone. You'd be a piece of cake, Dragonet." Netherfor barked snidely, sniffing the air. "I bet I could take them." Pyrus insisted, and Netherfor sent him flying into a snowdrift. "Hush. They've heard us." Netherfor whispered, hackles raising as a group of Apes approached.

"Wolf, why do you trespass upon the Badlands?" One of the Apes snarled, drawing a cruelly curved scimitar. "I hunt here, Ape." Netherfor snarled dispassionately, tossing his head. "You are to leave, wolf. The might of Malefor will not permit a weakling such as yourself near our lands." The Ape growled, and Netherfor barked in derision. "You? Powerful? You couldn't kill a rat." Netherfor scoffed, displaying his fangs. "Oh? There's one standing before me. Let's test that out." The Ape cackled, swinging his sword.

Pyrus shoved Netherfor out of the way, spewing fire at the enemies. "You cannot defeat us, little one! Come quietly!" The Ape bellowed, slicing at him. "A trap! They're behind us!" Netherfor howled, launching himself at an Ape. "HRAAA!" Pyrus roared, flames exploding from his maw. "Run, Pyrus! It's no use!" Netherfor barked as he was thrown to the ground. There were fifteen huge apes surrounding them now, and they had not a prayer of winning.

"Never!" Pyrus roared, lashing out at the Ape with his claws. "It's hopeless, Chick! Run while you still can!" Netherfor howled, rushing at another wolf. "Will you run with me?" Pyrus challenged, belching flames again. Netherfor remained silent, an answer to his question. "Then no!" Pyrus howled, swiping an Ape's legs from under it with his tail. "Go! I can distract them to get you some time! You must get to Warfang!" Netherfor growled, and Pyrus shrieked in defiance.

"Take them." the lead Ape ordered, and the fifteen apes converged upon the two. "NEVER!" Pyrus howled, and flames erupted from the dragonet's body, killing only two of the Apes in his fury. "Get out of here!" Netherfor howled. "I'm out of power! There has to be something...anything! We can't die here!" Pyrus roared, and a strange purple light exploded from the tiny dragon's body.

"You won't stop me!" Pyrus howled, a double-timbre to his voice. "DIE!" He roared, and the light intensified, obliterating the Apes on contact. Netherfor cringed into the snow, but wasn't spared. The light flooded into the wolf's body, and he vanished with a single whimper of pain.
