Dragons and Cross-dressers – Chapter fifteen
Francis stared down at the fight in fear and fascination.
He had bit down hard on his bottom lip when he saw the knight stumble, creating an opening. The dragon swung his claws down at the chest meaning to kill him.
Moments before contact though, there was a sudden twang.
The claw stopped just above the blonde.
The smell of blood filled the air.
Iain blinked in surprise as he felt pain stab into his back.
The dragon turned its head slightly, seeing a smiling beige haired man holding a bow.
He glanced down at his back, seeing the arrow deeply imbedded in his red scales.
It took him a moment to realise that his usually steely, invincible scales had been broken.
In that momentarily confusion, the knight stabbed his sword into the dragon's underbelly, barely missing his heart.
The sword entered easily and the dragon jumped back in realisation.
It snarled in protest as its stomach bled.
Ivan yelled to the knight.
"Be wary now comrade! It will try to escape!"
"I know!" Alfred had been told by the Russian that if the dragon tried to leave, Ivan would disorientate it with the fireworks.
Once he had launched the rocket at the beast, the flash would blind it while the sound would stun it then Alfred just had to attack it again.
Unexpectedly to both attackers, the dragon didn't retreat.
Instead it blew fire in a solid arc, forcing the trader and the knight back. It stood closer to the tower. Ivan raised his eyebrow in surprise.
Dragons always flee when in danger.
It was their basic instinct and nature.
Suddenly the startled prince appeared at the window.
A light bulb went off in the Russian's head.
The legend; it was true in more than one thing. The red beast didn't just lock the prince in a tower; he protected the tower as well.
Well this made things easier. The dragon would not leave the prince behind. Ivan continued thinking…
The knight started attacking the red beast again. This time though, when the blade hit the scales, they pierced them easier.
The dragon quickly changed his strategy after receiving a few blows and deep wounds; instead of reflecting the blows, he dodged them.
The blonde grumbled in annoyance as his blade struck air for the umpteenth time. The lizard was too fast and flexible, snaking out of the way before the American could strike. The dragon struck him on the arm, forcing him to drop his shield. The steel armour was no match for its claws and it was torn into like paper. His arm gushed blood now but he continued fighting.
The knight kept receiving gashes and cuts on his arms and legs. His armour seemed pointless against the claws. The blood lost was starting to affect him a little. He was getting tired and dizzy now.
He glanced at Ivan who was looking a bit thoughtful in concentration.
Suddenly Ivan smiled a wide tight smile and the American frowned.
Though the blonde was working with the trader, he always felt like the guy was hiding something from him. He did not trust Ivan or his secret motives.
His eyes widened as the man brought out a fire work. If he shot that at the dragon then Alfred would be hit as well. He was being double-crossed!
The dragon turned to see what the knight was glaring at, while also ducking under the steel sword. His super senses allowed him to fight easily and pay attention to other things. The other tall man held a strange thing that he didn't recognise. He pointed it at the still sparring two, the dragon tensed, ready to dodge the potential attack.
Though, when he tilted it up and at the window of the tower and Arthur, the dragon stopped in his tracks. The knight, who was also watching the trader out of the corner of his eyes whenever he had a chance, also saw the sudden intent of the man.
The prince was too distracted by his brother and the knight's fight to see the trader.
Alfred abandoned the dragon, not caring if the beast now had several opening to kill the blonde, and ran at the trader. His human speed was too slow and the firework was lit and launched.
The prince saw the rocket coming towards him but was frozen in shock.
The knight stared wide eyed and unable to do anything.
The dragon appeared suddenly in forward of the window.
The red monster lifted his wings in defence around his body.
The rockets crashed into his wings.
The flesh was ripped because the enchanted arrow had made his scales soft.
All that the knight and trader saw was a bright white flash with a deafening boom.
All the prince and the nobleman saw was a red body being shook with violent force.
When it had cleared everyone saw the red body fall.
(A/N – In case some of you are wondering, I like reading and writing gory horror. I have been toning it down though but this is still rated a T…. barely a T but still a T…
In fact some of my favourite vocaloid songs are the Story of Evil ones, Alice of Human Sacrifice, Trick and Treat etc.
Poor Scotland.
