Duel of the dragons: day one: part 3

Chapter 14 part 3

"What exiting matches we have had so far, let us reveal the next combatants," As the curtains pulled back ones again Cobra let on a smile as he saw his face as one of the fighters. His opponent would be Zane. As they both walked towards the dining hall for their meal, Cobra noticed that he couldn't hear his thoughts. He was looking at his fellow dragon slayer in curiosity. Zane turned his head in a rather creepy way.

"What are you staring at snake boy," His voice was dark and hoarse. Cobra didn't like it.

"Nothing petty I'll tell you that," the two ate their meal behind the curtains so the opponent couldn't see the others element before the fight. But Cobra could hear that it was some form of liquid. The two battlers stepped into the arena and took their place. Cobra heard someone in the crowd thinking. 'Good luck Erik' Cobra looked around and saw Kinana in the crowd she waved at him and he turned to face his enemy.

"Combatants get set. FIGHT!" Zane started running towards Cobra. Cobra wanted this fight to be over as soon as possible. "POISON DRAGON ROAR!" Cobra sent a wave of Poison gas after Zane. Zane didn't move out of the way and kept running straight into the poison. Cobra couldn't locate him due to the fact that he was concealed by poison. Suddenly he appeared right in front of Cobra and scratched him across the face multiple times before Cobra started dodging the scratches. Zane jumped back and laughed. He then licked his fingers with Cobra's blood on them. Cobra could hear the crowd's thoughts that were all a variation on 'that's disgusting'. Zane charged Cobra again and this time Cobra got ready for a counter strike. "POISON DRAGON CHRUSHING FANG!" Cobra lashed at Zane with his poison covered fingertips. Zane moved with incredible speed and avoided. Cobra lost track of his sound and then he felt a bombardment of slashes from the back continually hitting him. He couldn't move it was like he was paralyzed somehow. He fell to his knees and then his stomach unable to put his arms out to break the fall. Cobra looked at his foe who was standing and licking the blood off his fingers.

"W-w-we have our winner I suppose. Zane of Dragons wrath wins without using his dragon slayer magic."

"How did you do that?" Cobra coughed. Zane lowered his head down to his ear. Mostly for intimidation, because he knew Cobra about Cobras hearing ability and whispered.

"That's my own little secret snake boy. And just so you know your blood tastes delicious," he stood up and laughed a creepy laugh. As he walked out of the arena, the healers came and carried Cobra away. Inside the hospital area, he was put into a bed next to Wendy.

"Mr. Cobra. That guy was really strong wasn't he?" Wendy asked.

"He was. There was something strange about him. He didn't have any thoughts," Kinana came running through the door.

"Erik are you alright," her voice filled with concern. She sat down next to Erik. He read her mind and she could tell.

"Don't listen to my mind. Listen to my voice Erik."

"I'm fine don't worry. And before you ask I have no idea how he did that."

"I don't care about that. I just want to know that you're okay," Wendy giggled slightly.

"What's so funny little girl?" Erik asked a little pissed that she was laughing at him.

"I just think that you two are so cute," they both blushed and looked at each other.
