Dragons and Cross-dressers – Chapter twenty eight

The dragons all rushed to the edge of the cavern, where they knew that it would be the last place that the sickly ammonia reached. This was a daily occurrence that happened every morning so the owners could pick them up for whatever activity they were signed to that day.

The smell touched their more basic animal instincts and they flee it by nature. Their actions were not thought of when that first nasty aroma hit their noses. Now that they had escaped the smell temporarily, they were thinking more again.

There were cries of loud protest from the dragons but moving would mean running into that smell again. They were trapped in the corner.

Suddenly Lena looked about.

"Hey guys! Where's Iain?"

Everyone in the group glanced around themselves for the red head. Lukas spoke.

"He's new here. He won't know where to go when they come to collect us."

"Oh Em Gee! He might be totally wandering around gagging like crazy!"

"He… might be passed… out…" A sleepy response from Heracles.

Lena bit her lower lip nervously, glancing in the direction of the humans.

A low growl was heard throughout the group, too low for humans to hear but loud enough for the dragons to pick up. Lena just suddenly burst into a apprehensive sprint towards the growl. Was the red going to try and attack the humans?

The ammonia crashed into her.

She slowed down to a jog, stumbling forward and chocking on the air. Her eyes watered heavily, making the world blurry. She stopped to cover her mouth and cough. She glanced just around the edge of a huge rock to catch the start of the fight.

The red head leaped from a pile of stones and crashed into maybe the tallest man Lena ever saw.

He heard the men make sounds of surprise while the man that had been knocked down, make a cry of pain.

The blonde German, who Lena recognised as the arena's owner, abandoned the cart and lunged at the red head. The Chinese man, who was use to pamper, jumped back in surprised. He had been taught how to fight as a prince but was not prepared for the sudden attack.

Iain was clawing at the Russian's chest violently.

The blonde flung a fist into the dragon at full force, yelling. The dragon barely re-coiled though but turned to face the German anyway, snarling in a terrifying manner.

It was then that Lena noticed the make-shift shirt sleeve gas mask he wore.

He pushed into the blonde's chest with his entire weight.

It was surreal watching the human. The force of the push had lifted his entire body off the ground like a light weighted rag doll. It sailed through the air and landed some 20m away. He was still moving though, proving that the aerial trip and rough landing had not killed him.

"West!"

The other owner, with white hair, jumped onto Iain. The two wrestled. Iain's dragon strength gave him the advantage though and soon the albino was crashing back.

The dragon leaped back onto Ivan, who had not moved or made a sound since the first attack. Lena briefly wondered if he was dead but suddenly a loud clank rang out, accompanied by the sounds of liquid sloshing and pouring out.

"Fuck!"

The older German had landed on the cart, knocking it over along with the huge bottle of ammonia. The clear liquid seeped into the earthy floor, evaporating and releasing its putrid smell. The intensity of the smell exploded.

The huge intensity of the stench shocked Lena's body. She stepped out of her hiding place and called out "Iain." in a weak, choking voice.

The smell was making her head spin so quickly, and the ground seemed to be coming closer to her.

Was her perception off? She couldn't tell.

The smell, it was messing with her.

She felt her legs vanish from beneath her.

A soft thump went up her arm but it didn't feel like the ground.

Her last conscious thought was looking into the bright green eyes of a man who had caught her.
