I really wanted to ask about Armegaddon and why he had tried to blast me to kingdom come but with Moordryd's lips on mine that question flew out the window. And I almost forgot my own name when I felt his tongue pressing against my lips and the instant I opened my mouth it darted in. As his tongue explored my mouth before gently wrapping around my tongue I tilted my head back and Moordryd reached over holding my hand in his as he made out with me. It surprsied me that a guy that seemed so cold towards pretty much everyone around him could also be so kind and loving towards me and once his tongue slipped from my mouth, both of us a little out of breath I gave him a slight smile.
"Wow...so very drac." I mumbled and he chuckled at the faint blush on my face. "Very funny, Paynn." I grumbled crossing my arms against my chest and he grinned taking my hand and brushing his lips against my knuckles. "You're just doing this because you upset me, aren't you?" I asked as he grinned back at me and instead of giving me an answer he moved closer and when his lips found my neck I sighed, not really caring anymore.
Too caught up in each other we didn't notice my gauntlet glowing and just as Moordryd pushed me backwards onto the bed I saw a brillant flash of light and as I gasped the light filled the room. When I could see again I wondered where I was and as I wandered around I found myself in a deserted city, not so different from Dragon City, and as I walked around I tripped on something lying on the ground. That's when someone grabbed me by the shoulders and as I looked up I found Moordryd standing beside me.
"Where in the magna draconis are we?" He asked still holding onto one of my arms and as I looked down, trying to work out what I'm tripped on, I immediately wished I hadn't. Suddenly I pushed Moordryd away and with one hand clamped over my mouth I rushed a few feet in the oppsoite direction before I began to retch. After a few seconds I felt Moordryd's hand on my back and as he gently rubbed it I managed to gasp out a thank you. "What did you see?" He asked and I pointed back to where I had woken up and as he walked away I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand before I joined him. "Oh...scales." He whsipered as he looked down at the partically burnt corpse of what looked like a rider and its dragon, though the bodies were so badly burned I couldn't tell where the rider ended and the drgaon began. Just thinking about how it had happened made me want to throw up again but I managed to keep myself steady and taking a deep breath I went in search of anyone living. Joining me Moordryd could see me shaking and silently he reached out and took my hand giving it a squeeze and for that I was very grateful because soon I realized that everyone in the vicinity was dead and that scared me more than anything.
"What...happened here?" I whispered as Moordryd stood beside me and that's right when I heard a roar, several in fact and without answering I rushed towards the sound and my hand slipped from Moordryd's grasp. "Rayne! You don't know what's out there! Scales." He growled before he sprinted after me and by the time he caught up my eyes were completely wide staring at two figures in the distance. "There you are! Didn't anyone tell you not to run away?" He asked as he stood beside and as we watched I saw a familar black and gold dragon rushing along the broken pavement, charging what looked like eight black dragons.
"Is that...Artha? No it couldn't be...so that's the original Dragon Booster? Wow." I muttered and I heard Moordryd snort obviously not as impressed. "But who's that over there?" I said as I looked to the right and to my shock I saw someone lying on the ground. As I watched in shock I instantly saw the pure white armor and that's when it clicked. "Its Bianca."
"Who? Wait do you mean the woman who wore your gauntlet?" Moordryd asked and I gave him a quick nod and to his astonishment I went to climb down only for my friend to grab my arm and pull me back. "Hang on its too dangerous." He told me and I growled annoyed until I heard another voice and as I looked towards Bianca another dragon and its rider rushed over. In seconds the rider jumped down and once at Bianca's side he kenlt and tried to help her up and that's when I saw all the blood. It seemed to be coming from her left side and as I gasped Moordryd realized the same thing I did; that she was dying. But the Shadow Booster holding her in his arms didn't seem to realize it yet as he hugged her to his chest.
"Just hold on, Bianca. Call Hurracyne and he'll get you to safety." He said and that's when he saw the tears in Bianca's eyes and she slowly shook her head, panting from her injuries.
"Its too late for me...and for him." She whispered and lifting her hand she pointed a few feet away to something lying motionless on the ground. Once the Shadow Booster's dragon rushed over she found that it was the rapidly cooling body of Hurracyne and it let out a mournful cry. "He...gave me more time. So...I could say goodbye. I thought...we could defeat Armeggedon on our own but...I was reckless and it cost us both our lives." She whispered before a coughing fit stole the breath from her lungs and as the Shadow Booster held her he saw the blood already flowing from her mouth and he knew that she wasn't going to survive for much longer. When she finally relaxed and her coughing fit ended Bianca looked up at the Shadow Booster and he could see how pale her skin had become and he knew she didn't have long left.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there." The Shadow Booster sighed and Bianca reached up with one very shaky hand to gently stroke his cheek. Carefully he gripped her hand in his and held it tight as she shuddered, blood pooling under her. "I wanted to fight alongside you."
"You have and besides the world needs a man like you. Do me one favor." Bianca whispered and after the Shadow Booster nodded she removed her medallion, instantly gasping as the last of her mag energy left her and when she handed it along with her medallion to her lover he stared. "Take these and hide them somewhere safe so that the next Light Booster can find them if the world ever needs saving again." She said managing a sad smile as she gazed up at the love of her life. "And one last thing. Aid the Dragon Booster. No matter your differences you are both needed to defeat Armegeddon and stop the dragon-human war. Promise me that you'll do this. He and Beau need you." She gasped and he gave her a nod tears now flowing freely down his face and she gave him a tired smile.
Very gently he cupped her chin and as they kissed for the last time I watched on, tears running down my face as I watched my prediceesior dying right in front of me and standing beside me Moordryd reached across and gently held my hand as Bianca took her last breaths. As their kiss ended the arm wrapped around the Shadow Booster's neck suddenly went limp and when the Shadow Booster opened his eyes he saw Bianca's eyes wide and unblinking.
As he gently lowered her to the ground he closed her eyes and resting her arms against her chest he gave her once last kiss on the forehead before he stood and whistled for his dragon. Once it reached his side he wiped his eyes before he slipped the gauntlet and medallion into the pack on his dragon's back and once he climbed up the dragon took off. As they raced away I watched the Dragon Booster mag-blast several of the eight black draconium dragons away before he raced after the Shadow Booster. And that's when Armegeddon noticed us and before I had time to scream he sent a massive blast of mag energy at the pair of us.
"Noooo!" I screamed as I sat up only to find that I was back inside my bedroom and as I let out a gasp I heard Moordryd stir beside me.
"Oh scales...wait how did we get back here?" He asked as he sat up rubbed his forehead and I shook my head to clear it, equally as confused. "Did that really happen or were we dreaming?"
"I think...that was a vision...of the dragon-human war. And Bianca...died." I muttered as I felt fresh tears forming and I hurriedly wiped them away. "Is that what's going to happen to me too?"
"No." Moordryd growled and I looked over at him as he sat beside me. "I won't let that happen to you." He told me, standing and reaching down he helped me to my feet.
"Then I'll keep you to your promise." I answered wrapping my arms around his waist and as we held each other I smiled at him. But just as we were leaning in for a kiss someone burst through the door and we both looked towards the door as Cain rushed in. At the exact same time we yelled "Cain!" annoyed at him for barging in on us without having the decentcy of knocking first.
