Streak: Tell me. What do you mean by she isn't just your problem?

Vexx: She's not my problem. She's yours.

Streak: What?

*Nayer walks through door*

Nayer: Vexx and I made a little compromise. Looks like you will be getting all the hurt while Vexx here doesn't get a scratch.

Streak: What! No!

Vexx: Sorry. Every dragon for themselves.

*Vexx walks out of room*

Vexx: Wish him luck. Now ONTO THE STORY!

Vexx and Nayer landed somewhat hard onto the ground in front of their cave, "That was a bit sloppy." Vexx commented to himself.

Vexx started to walk towards the cave entrance, "Vexx, wait." Nayer said.

Vexx turned his head to face Nayer, "What?"

"Somethings missing." Nayer said puzzled.

"Yeah, it's me sleeping." Vexx said as he continued to the cave.

"Listen!" Nayer hissed.

Vexx stopped to listen, "I don't hear anything."

"Exactly. Where are all the birds?" Nayer asked.

Vexx then stopped moving and looked around, "It's probably just some random occurrence. There's no need to be paranoid."

"Maybe we should go back to the temple." Nayer said quietly as she started to walk backwards slowly.

"Nayer, its fine, there's nothing in he-" Vexx screamed out in pain as a spear was imbedded into his right flank, breaking bones.

Nayer screamed in horror as she saw her friend's blood spill onto the ground.

"Nayer run!" Vexx yelled, then turned around to be confronted by 6 Grublins that were hiding inside of their cave.

Nayer didn't leave, instead she ran up to Vexx and started to help him with the Grublins.

"I said get out of here!" Vexx yelled as he made a deep scratch in a Grublin using his tail blade.

Nayer jumped right dodging a sword, "I'm not leaving you!" She said, then she spat out a small concentrated bolt of lightning through a Grublins head, killing it.

Five left. Nayer thought.

"Fine!" Vexx yelled as he erupted his paw in fire and swiped at a Grublin slitting its throat.

4.

Nayer tried to evade a sword, but wasn't fast enough. She screamed in pain as it drove into her back and came out through her chest.

Nayer heard Vexx holler in rage and tackle the Grublin to the ground and using his teeth to tear its throat out. He spit the contents inside his mouth at the opposing 3 Grublins.

The Grublins started to make noises and ran off into the forest.

Nayer collapsed onto the ground and her vision started to go blurry. The last thing she saw was Vexx's face.

Vexx…..

"Nayer! Nayer! Oh, Ancestors please be ok." Vexx said as he pulled the sword out. The sight of his friend's blood on the ground made him ill. Bandages!

Vexx ran inside and searched through the little hollowed out holes that the two used as shelves for bandages to stop the bleeding. Vexx saw the bandages and he grabbed them with his teeth and ran outside. He started to wrap the bandages around her torso covering both punctures.

Please don't die. Vexx thought as tears started to form in his eyes, "Why didn't you listen." he said quietly.

After he wrapped her up he knew he couldn't stay long. The reinforcements will be here soon. The temple!

Vexx quickly got Nayer onto his back and took off flying in the direction they just flew from. Hurry. Was Vexx's only thought as he flew as fast as he could to the temple they had found, Maybe they have medical supplies inside.

Vexx could feel Nayer's slowly fading heartbeat against his chest. When the temple came into view, Vexx sighed from relief. Almost there.

Vexx landed hard and Nayer came rolling off of his back, "No!" Vexx ran up to her quickly to see if she was ok, "I'm so sorry."

Vexx heard a yelp and looked up to see in the doorway of the temple a dragon.

Vexx: Well that was nice.

Streak: AHHH! MERCY! MERCY!

*Streak comes crashing through wall and Nayer walks through*

Nayer: We need to get that fixed.

Vexx: Sure thing.
