I rode through the trees cutting off his path. He stopped his horse as I jumped out of the trees facing him I pointed my sword at him, "Going somewhere brother?"
"You, I'll end you," he screamed charging at me.
"In your dreams," I said charging him. Our swords clashed together as we fought on our horses.
"You can't win," Einon said trying to cut my horse but my horse moved away before he could allowing me to hit Einons arm cutting a hole in his mail.
"Think again Einon unlike your men these people are loyal to me because I treat them as equals and have given them something that you could never give them. I have given them hope and a promise of ending you."
Einon backed his horse up and looked around at the battle. Seeing that his men were being slaughtered and there was no hope for him to win this fight fear fell onto his face. I saw in his eyes that he had thought this fight would have ended the same way the first rebellion had ended with our defeat but he saw how wrong he was a fear fell onto his face, a fear that I had not seen in a long time. I smiled at his fear.
"Surrender Einon" I yelled at him, "End this blood shed or share the fate of your father!"
"Retreat," he yelled riding away from me, "Return to the castle! Retreat!"
"You coward you won't get out of this that easily," I yelled riding after him. He raced through the battlefield yelling retreat to his men while I was right on his tail till I was right next to him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw me and swung his sword at me as we raced through the battle. I blocked his blade with my shield as he swung again.
"Give up bother you have lost," I said as he struck my shield again.
"Die," he screamed at me as he swung again at me. I swung my shield at his sword knocking it from his hand. He pulled the rains of his horse stopping it I did the same stopping in front of my brother pointing my sword at him.
"Its over Einon," I said to him, "You've lost."
"I'm not beaten," he yelled pulling out a knife throwing it at me. I knocked it away with my gantlet but he through another knife at me when my guard was open entering an opening in my shoulder knocking me off my horse. I landed on my back hitting knocking the wind out of me and hitting the back of my head causing me to black out for a minute. When I came to Einon had an arrow in his heart. I sat up looking towards the castle to see father falling out of the sky. In that moment everything slowed down to a near stop and I heard my sister scream as she and father fell into the castle court yard.
"No," I whispered as Einon rode off back towards the castle. His knights fallowed him though most had either been killed or had already ran away from the fight. Some of the villagers cheered at the victory but I just kept looking at the castle in a trance till Bowen came to my side bringing me back.
"Are you alright," he asked kneeling next to me.
"Yes I'm fine," I said removing the knife as I stood up. A new fire burned inside me as I picked up my sword and mounted my horse.
"Where are you going," Bowen asked walking up to the side of my horse.
"Einon is getting away I'm going after him," I told him.
"And saving my family," I said under my breath.
"Not with out me," he said grabing my rains stopping my horse. I looked down at him then nodded at him. He nodded back at me then turned to the villagers.
"I go to save the dragon who will go with me," he shouted out to them.
No one came forward no one wanted to fight more than they had to. I became angry at their hesitation to go and save my father.
"Fine," I yelled at them in anger, " You have your freedom now that you have shown my brother your strength. I guess you don't need me or my family any more. I go to save my father and my sister. Go back to your families and tell them how you let a child die by the Cruel King Einon's hand and you didn't even help her sister save her!"
With that I held my hand out to Bowen to help him onto my horse. He took my hand and jumped onto the back of my horse. I kicked my horses side causing him to run then Kara yelled out to me.
"Your majesty," she called out to me.
I pulled my horses rains stopping him and turning him to face Kara, "What is it Kara?"
She ran up to me, " I know a way to get inside the castle without any one seeing us."
"Great," I said dismounting my horse Bowen fallowing after, " Show me."
"I'll come too," said Brother Gilbert.
"I'm glad I can count on you my friends," I said smiling at them then I kissed Kara's forehead, "Now show us the way sister."
She nodded then took the lead and the three of us fallowed her lead.
Meanwhile at the castle
A sharp pain had pierced Draco's heart and he felt as if he would die.
"Father," Abiageal screamed as they began to fall from the sky into the castle court yard. Abiageal lost her grip as her father stopped flapping his wings and plummeted to the ground. Draco managed to grab his daughter so she wouldn't be harmed before they hit the ground and he blacked out. When he came too men were placing chains on his horns, on top of his body pinning him to the ground, and around his wrists keeping him from moving, as tried to move he saw that the charm his daughters had made for him had fallen off his horn and was now mere inches from his face. Abiageal laid hidden under her fathers chest bruised but alive. She stayed hidden from the men that were shouting in a strange language and were chaining her father to the ground.
"Papa what do we do," she whispered in Dragon tongue.
"Stay down my child," he whispered back to her, "Stay hidden."
She nudged a little further under her fathers chest staying well hidden from the men wearing horned helmets and were now screaming at her father in their strange language till a Einon came riding into the court yard.
"Stop I want it alive," he yelled. He then walked over to Draco's head, "Safe and alive. Safe for all eternity."
"Oh no," Draco groaned. Abiageal became anger at the man who she knew was her older brother. Though as much as she wanted to kill that man she stayed hidden from everyone. When the king walked away from Draco on of the strange men saw the charm that had fallen off Draco's horn. He picked up the charm looking it over. Seeing that it was only a black river stone with some strange rope he called to his comrades showing his find. Laughing he then throw it over the castle wall. When it cleared the wall all the men started laughing and cheering. Draco growled at the man who had just throw away the most precious gift he had ever reserved from his dear daughters. He roared at the men causing the to jump.
"I'll ripe them apart," Abiageal whispered in Dragon Tongue.
"Not yet my child you must stay hidden," her father whispered back to her in his tongue.
"Sister will make them pay for this," she whispered back in her fathers tongue.
Outside the castle near the walls of the court yard hidden in the bushes
When the guards weren't looking the four of us hide behind large bushes near the castle wall.
"So wheres the secret entrance my mother showed you," I asked Kara while we hide behind the bushes.
"At the back of the castle near the tree line, the guards won't be able to see us when we go in," she replied, " Though the path way I know leads to Einon's room."
"I'll handle my brother," I said, "Bowen Kara and Brother Gilbert you guys go and free my father and find my sister."
"No I'll keep Einon busy while you free your father," Bowen said.
"Fine," I said then before I could say anything else something black and shiny caught my eye. It was a black smooth stone with a long braided rope on one side. I picked up the stone turning it over to see the symbol my sister had carved into fathers charm we gave him. I looked at the rope and it was our hair that I braided into a rope for the charm. Fear struck my heart at I looked over the charm. The charm wasn't damaged as was the rope so it must have fallen of fathers horn.
"What is that," Brother Gilbert asked me.
"It's a charm bracelet my sister and I made for my father," I told him, "I'm going to tear who ever through this away to part for taking it away from my father. And if they have touched my sister all Hell will break loose."
"So the plan is set," Kara asked, "While Bowen takes care of Einon Brother Gilbert, Ava, and I will free Draco and Abiageal."
"Brother Gilbert will look for her in the dungeon while you and I go to my fathers aid," I said.
"Sounds good to me," Brother Gilbert said crossing himself.
"Alright lets get going," Bowen said. Kara nodded and started crawling along the line of bushes growing along the castle wall, the rest of us fallowed. I tucked fathers charm into my chest plate right next to his scale.
'Don't worry my light big sister is coming,' I thought to my self as we made our way out of site and ran for the tree line. We made it to the entrance of the caves just before sunset. Before we went in we waited till the sunset-ed before we made torches and entered the tunnels to face my demon brother and save my father and sister. Half way through the tunnel we heard something fallowing us. We all spun around to see the villagers fallowing us.
"We are with you my Queen," one of them said.
"Thank you," I smiled to them bowing as I did, "I'll let you take care of the guards and the gate."
"Yes your majesty,"Hewe said nodding his head.
"Met us in the court yard when you're done getting our men inside,"Bowen said. Hewe nodded then we all parted ways.
"Good luck," I whispered back to the small group of villagers as we parted paths.
Hope this will last you till I can post the next chapter. It's all I got done so far but I do have the ending written out so it shouldn't be much longer till we see the final show down between Einon and Ava. Hope you enjoy it any sorry it's so short.
