Chapter 5-Battle of the Dragons

{Tronay -narrator}

Suddenly the Light crystal flies into the remaining slot and the cave begins tp shake.

"Finally. Nor'ac come forth!" The Light of Destruction cries.

Nor'ac appears. As I look at the Light of Destruction as he stands beside Nor'ac, I realize that we must do battle against them. Nor'ac roars, the Light of Destruction jumps onto the white dragon's head, and the white dragon flies out of the cave; destroying the top of the cave in the process. I summon Uria and jump onto his back and we follow them.

Uria is it possible for us to beat them? I ask.

I am not sure but we will try Tronay, my Guardian replies.

Nor'ac flies into a string of mountains. We follow closely waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

{Uria-narrator}

Nor'ac turns around and unleashes a beam of light. I dodge and return its blast with my own. He dodges and continues to fly. I attack again this time scoring my mark. Nor'ac roars and crashes into a mountain.

I spot a mountain with a cave in the side of it. I fly over there and Tronay jumps off. I fly above the mountain tops to look down on Nor'ac. Nor'ac gets back into the air and soars toward me. He attacks and I dodge.

"I have grown tired of this. Come to me Sword of Kings!" The Light of Destruction says.

That sword . . . it was used in the battle to save Atlantis I believe. But how can the Light of Destruction summon it? He throws the sword at me. I remember that it can turn a creature to pure crystal should it hit. I start to turn around but I'm too late.

The sword hits my side. I roar in pain, trying my best to stop the crystal from spreading. I can faintly hear Tronay screaming before the crystal fully covers me.

{Tronay-narrator}

How will you win now pitiful humans? Nor'ac laughs as Uria hovers covered in the chrysalis created by the Sword of Kings.

I run to the back of the cave and stop suddenly seeing Dartz.

"Dartz? Is this where Santerous sent you?" I ask.

"Yes Tronay but let's not waste anymore time just siting here. After all we have a dragon to battle," Dartz says as he draws the Great Leviathan's card from his deck. "Great Leviathan come forth!"

The Great Leviathan roars and storms out of the cave, his fury so intense even I can feel it.

Nor'ac! It's time to settle our score once and for all! The Great Leviathan bellows, his yellow eyes hiding a slight trace of red in them.

"What did the Great Leviathan mean when he said that he wanted to settle the score once and for all?" I ask Dartz as we stand and watch the battle from the cave that Uria had found.

"Nor'ac and the Great Leviathan are brothers Tronay," Dartz answers as he stares at his dragon.

"What? Brothers? How is that possible?" I stutter in shock.

"Both Nor'ac and the Great Leviathan had the same father and mother and thus it has made them brothers," Dartz explains.

Come and get me Leviathan! Nor'ac growls as he lunges forward, almost throwing the Light of Destruction off.

The two Guardians battle furiously as both Dartz and I watch.

"There is a way to stop this battle," Dartz comments as he watches Nor'ac get hit from an attack by the Great Leviathan.

"How?" I ask.

"We must revive Santerous," Dartz answers.

"But how? The Light of Destruction said he trapped Santerous' mind in the shadows," Tronay asks.

"Perhaps but it seems that the Light of Destruction has underestimated us," Dartz replies.

"What are going to do?" I ask.

"We won't be doing anything. My Guardian will," Dartz answers.

The Great Leviathan growls as he dodges an attack from Nor'ac.

He has become stronger since our last encounter, the Great Leviathan snarls.

My Great Beast if you would be so kind as to preform the sacred ritual to revive Santerous, Dartz says to his Guardian through their mental bond.

Of course lord Dartz, the Great Leviathan replies as he leans back and prepares to charge up an attack.

After a few minutes, a dark energy ball storms from his jaws and passes by Nor'ac, grazing the white dragon's shoulder as it flies past. The ball explodes as soon as it's past Nor'ac, sending the white dragon crashing into a mountain. The energy ball's explosion forms a portal of somesort and soon the portal crackles with black streams of power. Nor'ac snarls and flies back up into the sky.

'Arise from the ashes and be made known, this portal's power from which you grow, influence your might through time and space, this gift of light is your's to take,' the Great Leviathan chants as the portal glows with ever increasing power.

The portal suddenly stops and then a beam of white light bursts from the center of the portal to about a few inches in front of the Great Leviathan. A few seconds later a Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon shows up, it's purple eyes gleaming with hatred at Nor'ac and the Light of Destruction.

"Santerous!" I cry in delight as I see the familiar dragon's purple eyes shining.

{Santerous -narrator}

I roar and fly toward Nor'ac. Once I'm close enough I slam my tail into his chest. Then I slash him with my talons. Nor'ac tries to fight back but I'm the clear winner. All though he puts up a good fight I finish him with my Shining Blast. I fly back to the cave, weak and tired. Once I'm at the cave I enter. Inside sit Tronay and Dartz. Dartz calls the Great Leviathan back into his card.

"You did fine Santerous," Dartz comments dryly as I gaze at Tronay.

You okay? I ask.

"No," she replies as she gets to her feet and walks out of the cave.

After a moment of thought, I follow Tronay. The cool night breeze blows against my flat blue scales and for a moment I drift off into a trace but I'm quickly jarred back to my senses by Tronay's faint, almost inaudible, crying.

What's wrong? I ask.

"Uria . . . is sealed in the crystal . . . from the Sword of Kings," Tronay mutters between sobs.

What? I stammer as the thought of a powerful dragon like Uria being sealed in ice enters my mind.

Tronay continues to sob faintly and after a few minutes I close my eyes and concentrate. The crystal covering Uria glows softly with blueish light and suddenly cracks. Uria begins to fall headfirst into the base of the one of the mountains. I act quickly and fly out to catch him. He lands on my back and almost falls off but I'm lucky enough to get Uria back to our cave before he slides off my back.

Tronay helps me get him inside the cave but then I stop . . .
