Hey thought I put down my story (it has nothing to do with the matrix)
Hope the paragraphs don't get confusing.
Enjoy! :)
Blood from hell
introduction
I stared at his eyes as I pulled my sword out. I felt a surge of the dragon energy go thru me. “I will destroy you for what you have done.” I said jumping high into the air screaming and slashing down at him. He blocked and tossed me into the wall. As I stood up stunned, I looked at the traitor and slowly felt myself change into the dragon. I couldn’t control myself. Walking up to him I reached out with my new dragon claw and lifted him into the air. Staring into his eyes as he screamed and tried getting away was more fun for me than it was for him. He pleaded, just as I got bored of his crying I drop the body and slamed my boot down right on the wound. Slowly I pushed on it, waiting for a scream of pain, twisting my foot putting Claude into complete and total torture. Teaseing him into prepurgatory I run my scaled hand over his face then poking my fingers into the eyes. A soft pop is heard as the eyes collapse and bleed. I take the fingers and bring to my mouth. A smile runs across my face as the sweet crimson nectar touches my tongue and lips. I stare down and ram my other boot into his head. I stand there pressing on the head cracking is heard as the skull slowly breaks under my foot. Slamming my fist into Claude I stare into his once living eyes. I had no more will to stay awake and fell over out cold. All of a sudden I awoke and was in darkness and light. Heaven or Hell?
Chapter 1
The beginning
Have you ever have that dream where you’re falling then you wake up. I lied in my bed looking at the ceiling and trying to figure out what this dream means. I would ask to see what he says, but after the last visit to his friend over in the valley he’s been acting strange.
I pulled myself out of bed and pulled my clothes on. As I pulled my shirt on I happened to look at the mirror and thought at what was going to possibly come. I lived in Potnas a quiet town between the forest and The kingdom of Butta. Currently the peace has been disturbed. Canfield, our neighboring Kingdom has been seen around and caused riots to break out in town. King Haslam thinks that they’re trying to start a war.
“Master Draysom. Are you awake?” Lensey, his servant, said as she knocked. She was a beautiful girl in her twenties or so with long blond hair and blue eyes that almost looked that they were made of sapphire.
“Yes and you may enter Lensey.” I said forgetting about the dream. I walked over to let her do the regular rounds of cleaning the bed and changing the clothes. I pulled my father’s sword and tied to my belt. Then I pulled my bow and arrows, kanta, personalized sword, and medicine pack which I strapped to my back and waist. I looked over just as Lensey was leaving I asked her to have the rest of the day off and gave her that weeks pay of 2 gold coins.
“Thank you master.” She said with a cheer in her voice, “I also put breakfast on the table for you.” She walked down the stone steps.
“Lensey tomorrow can I take you to the castle for dinner as my guest of honor?” I asked her. The king was having a feast to the heroes of the town and as being one they invited me to attend.
“Honor?! Master, I am, but a mere slave. I would disgrace you!” she said with surprise. She walked and sat on the wooden chair. “But I am honored to be your guest Master.”
“Great!” I said as I hugged her. “Just stay here tomorrow. Alright?”
“Yes.” She blushed “Thank you again. Oh I don’t have a dress to wear and I can’t get one till next weeks pay for a hand me down dress at least!” She said with sadness and looked at the ground.
“Go to the dresser in town and pick the most beautiful dress you can find. Here.” I gave her a handful of gold coins to buy the most expensive dress there. “Keep whatever is left.”
“Thank you Master!” She jumped with excitement and ran out the door almost crashing into a hooded traveler carry only a tote bag which they talked. I stared at him for a second, shrugged, and went back into the house.
I walked to the kitchen and ate the breakfast she left me. I finished up and cleaned the dishes. I walked out to what looked like any other town, but in a hour it would be full of travelers and merchants getting the best deal, or trying their newest scam for money, out of people. I walked to the hut nearest to the castle gate. “McManus! I need your help.” I said as I entered, looking around the mess of paper, bottles, potions I heard a poof. I walked to where it was and just as I expected he was on the floor laughing.
“Great,” Laughing to where tears came out of his eyes “I almost had it, but that was more funnier than what…” you couldn’t hear the rest because of his laughing. He looked up and ceased with the laughing, but still having a smile on his face. “Hello. Draysom its been long since I last saw you my brother. My you’ve grown since then.”
“Yeah. Anyways I need to ask you about something.” I said remembering the dream I had. I felt energy going thru my body like adrenaline when I was in battle, but more magical.
“Alright. Step in here and tell me my brother.” He said as he ushered me into the library which had books on everything and magic organizing themselves to their subject. Up high near the ceiling, which still looked like it could go farther, candles floating to represent the evening sky.
“It’s a dream that has me…” when McManus interrupted “wondering what it means? Sure I learned what dreams mean when I learned the ways of our philosophers. So tell me my brother what your dream is.”
“Ok. I am falling, but there is nothing except darkness and light. That’s it” I said with both anger and hope like a unbeatable war, but you’re sure god is on your side.
“I don’t know if that means your fighting between yourself or if that is going to happen soon.” He said. “Shoot, I should get going and meet the King and my teacher.” He ushered me outside and ran to the gate entrance. As he ran to the meeting, which has been happening a lot, I walked to the shops for food.
“Hey mister,” A voice of a child said, “can I see your sword?”. I said sure and pulled my father’s sword out for him to see.
“Travis! Travis!” A grown women was yelling. “Uh oh! Mommy is coming.” the small child said. She barged through till she found us. “Travis! Mister Draysom! Sorry for my child sir.”
“Its no problem Dyrra he just wanted to see my sword. No harm.” I told her. Dyrra is the princesses slave whom if you switched them you could not tell the difference.
“I’ll take him home and leave you be sir.” she said as she was about to walk away.
“Wait. Can you to help me with some things?” I asked with a depressed smile.
“Like what?” She asked sounding as if their was a prize with it.
“Just some grocery shopping and to talk? I could use someone to talk to now.” I said. “Alright,” She said, ”If you could help me and watch over Travis.”
“Sure” I said picking him up and setting him on my shoulders. Walking to the fruits shop I asked for apples, lemons, and some of the sweetest fruits they had.
“So you wanted to talk?” She asked. “Oh yes,” I said, “Lensey and I are going to the feast tomorrow and I need to ask you a big favor?”
“Which is?” She asked. “Can you…” I said sounding embarrassed, “Can you teach me how to dance?”.
“I would love to. I know where we can practice!” She took me out of the village to the old oak tree me and her would play at when we were younger. I put Travis on the ground and took my weapons off. I looked at Travis as he played with a bug.
“So first you bow,” She bows and taught me how to dance.
* * *
“So that’s all it takes” She said.
“Thank you.” I walk over to Travis who is asleep. “Let me carry him home for you” I picked my weapons and Travis up. I walked her home and put Travis in his bed, which was also Dyrra’s bed, made of straw and a blanket to keep from being poked.
“Well I guess I’ll see you at the feast tomorrow” I walked back home and went to sleep.
Chapter 2
Destiny
I woke up with knocking at my door with Lensey almost to the point of yelling. I overslept because the sun was well over the mountain range.
“Master Draysom! Are you up sir?” She asked again. I walked over and opened the door.
“Hey how about you go fix breakfast for us and I’ll clean up here. Okay?” I said with a yawn. “Sir,” She asked, “after you come down can I show you the dress I picked out?”
“I will.” I closed the door except for a crack. I walked over and took a quick bath. I dressed in my formal warrior suit, which had my clan emblem which was made of leather, cloth, and chain under armor, strapped a dagger and my father’s sword to my side. I can still remember my dying father’s last words, your time is soon to find your true power. There he died in my arms with an arrow thru the heart, he died with a broken heart, which must have been the most awful way to die. I still don’t know what he meant, but I learned as much as I could studying by the oak tree with Dyrra when we were kids. I walked down to the kitchen room to meet Lensey.
“Master, That’s beautiful suit sir!” She said as she served the food. “Not as beautiful as your cooking.” I told her.
“Master. I have a question?” she asked. “Yes,” I said, “ and if your going to ask if I like you. Yes I do.” I looked down and took a bite of the wonderful food she made us.
“Master, you like me? I don’t know what to say.” She blushed. Took a bite of food and set her fork down. “Is that why you’re taking me to the feast tonight?” She asked with a innocent curiosity.
“Yes.” I said with a grin “Can I see your dress? Also if you need to change you can use my room.” I told her. She walked off while I cleaned the dishes, thank god for playing with the slaves.
“Master what do you think?” She asked while doing a twirl in the green plaid dress, the color of my clan family. She stood there as I looked at her while a tear slowly rolled down my cheek and fall to the ground. “Are you alright master? Is the dress bad or what?” she asked with a sound of disgrace and sadness.
“I am alright and no its not bad. Your just so beautiful in that dress.” I walked over and kissed her cheek. “So beautiful and lovely.”
“Thank you master.” She kissed my cheek back. “So what to do before the feast?” She looked outside to the lake on the edge of town.
I get the message and take her to the lake. We walk around. The day passes till night is almost upon us and we walk to the castle.
“Sir!” The guard at the gate salutes when we walk up.
“Aides” Salute him back, “Lensey this is Head guardsman Kragle and Kragle this is my guest of honor Lensey.”
“Nice to meet you Miss. Lensey hope you will enjoy tonight’s feast.” He gets the attention of the usher who shows us inside. The castle entrance is wonderfully done with mirrors and gold framed pictures of past kings, wars, and greatest heroes among them a picture of my father with the sword at his side as it is on me right now. We take our seat on the left hand side of King and Queen Haslam, plus their princess, Jessica.
“Thank you all for coming tonight to honor those who protect our village and people from the Canfield army and for those who gave their lives one of the great who fought against them was sir Lough E. Wolfe who died in action, but to represent him and who heard the last of his words his son Draysom D. Wolfe.” He sits down and wants me to speak on behalf of my father. So I stand and tell them the story of how the Canfield army attacked; I was a new recruit at that time and fought under my father command. My job was to hold the spot I was at and to try slowing the fleet down. I was successful, everyone else was cleaning up those who refused to die. Then out of nowhere a arrow shot my father thru the heart and killed him. I could make out from the coughing and chocking of his blood he told me that he was proud of me.
“What a wonderful story. A hero and the last great words to his son. We can expect great things from you. On a happier note.” He clapped his hands and servants took out all the food. They set it right in front of everyone. Everyone ate their share of food, but I ate little due to the story I had to tell. After everyone ate it was time to dance. I took Lensey’s hand and danced with her. Just as the music and that was almost done, a thunderous swoosh is heard. Just as the growl of the dragon was heard the roof caved in and grabbed Lensey. The dragon had attacked so sudden that no one could react to it. Just as I pulled my sword out it already flew away. I chased it outside and as far as I could outside.
“Lensey No! I will find you! I will save you!” I yelled as I watched them fly away into the forest and darkness. I tripped and fell on a rock.
* * *
I awoke to the sound of Dyrra and Jessica’s voice. “Sir Draysom are you alright?” I could make out. I opened my eyes slowly.
“Where,” I said as I slowly came to “Where am I?” I looked around and notice it was a huge room about the size of my kitchen with pictures, and stuff I couldn’t make out. I tried to move, but I was quickly pushed down.
“Don’t move sir. You hurt yourself pretty bad and your in princess Jessica’s room.” said Dyrra. I looked around again and notice the view of the town and that.
“I am alright just a flesh wound.” I assured her with it. I stood up and notice I was only in a shirt and pants. “Where’s my armor and weapons?” Dyrra pointed them out in the corner and I put them on. “I got to go save Lensey. Jessica can I borrow one of the knight’s horses?” I said with force.
“Um. I guess so.” I walked down to the stables and took the fastest, healthiest horse I could find. I rode him back home. There I grabbed all that I could carry, which was my weapons and medicine. I walked back out and got on the horse.
“Sir Draysom may I join you in your quest?” Claude asked just as I was at the city gate. Claude was the head of the Butta Knight Army, which was the best of all West Dragon Isle.
“As long as you don’t slow me down you may join.” I raced out of the gate and towards Dragon Valley.
Chapter 3
Republic Thieves
We rode that day through the forest without. We found a trade route trail and followed it till we got to the Republic Empire. Just as night fell and strolled through the town stopping at a cottage tavern called The Ugly Pirate. We walked in and got a room. We took our horses out back to the stables were the same guy that Lensey almost crashed into was sleeping. We went back in got some beer and a fist fight with a drunk. That night we slept in our rooms.
“Mister Draysom wake up.” Claude. I had the dream again last night. I looked out the window at the castle and gate across the way.
“Lets pack up and head out.” I pulled the covers and ordered him. I walked down and signed us out as he pulled the packs out to the horses. “Lets get to Dragon Valley by nightfall. I know someone who will give us somewhere to sleep and some real food” I tossed my pack over the horse when a group of guys came up.
“Hey give us what you have and no one gets hurt.” At the same time one of them stole our pack. They run towards the street.
“Fools.” I jump on the horse and chase the one with my pack. I jump over people and catch the guy. I pulled him up while still on my horse at full speed, “Give it over.” He tosses it on my horse. As soon it was in my lap I toss him into a stand. “ Don’t never let me catch you doing that again.” Claude, on his horse, Comes up on me. “Lets go this place is full of thieves.” I told him. We rode off. As soon as we left the city and almost a mile away from the Republic Empire territory to Dragon Valley a group of Republic guards chased us. I pulled my bow out, jumped off my horse while getting an arrow out and shoot it killing one. I toss them aside and pull my sword out. Just as one guard came to slash at me I deflect it back at him stabbing himself. I finish the last two with Claude. I get my horse back and we ride off to Dragon Valley.
Chapter 4
Dragon Valley
We enter thru the “gate”, which was just a rock formation which looks like a dragon, to the small town where my friend Torin, who is head of Dragon Valley, greats us with the most cheerfulness.
“Hello,” Torin says “great seeing you again” he ushers us to his house. Claude takes and ties the horse in the stable “What brings you to Dragon Valley?” Claude joins us just as we enter the house.
“Business. One of our friends was taken by a dragon we know she’s here somewhere. We need food and shelter for a few days till we find the cave.” I asked him.
“Sure.” Torin says. He shows us to rooms and gives us food.
We spend a few nights there and scout for where Lensey could be at. One day as we were scouting we found the most logical place she could be at. We set up for the attack.
* * *
“Alright so lets go get her.” I tied my sword on my belt, leaving my fathers behind. We left in the early morning for the cave she is in. As we walked up to the entrance I could hear the dragon’s heavy breathing and see all the corpses of past warriors trying to slay the dragon.
“I’ll watch out here.” Claude whispered to me. I could see him shaking.
“Fine, more treasure for me.” I told him. There really was no treasure, that we knew of, but to get him to keep going. I lied because I would need some more strength, if in case. We walked in the dimness growing more darker with every cold, hollow step. There was a walkway we could barely see in the darkness. The dragons breathing getting louder and louder.
“Draysom, how much further to where Lensey is?” Claude asked me even thou he knows the answer.
“I don’t know. You go ask him for directions.” pointing at the dragon. I heard the crying of a girl, “Lensey?” I walk to the crying, which grows louder. “Lensey?”
“Draysom? Is that you?” Lensey screams out into the darkness “Please get me out!”
“Don’t worry and stop with the screaming you’ll wake the dragon!” I look at the door and wonder why there’s a door in a dragon’s cave. I set the thought over and unlock the door to let Lensey out. She springs out hugs me, scared out of her mind. “Lensey lets get out of here, then you can tell me what happened. Ok?”
“Yes lets get the hell out of here!” she says. I look out thinking which way is out.
“Hey Claude know which way is out?” I look over and he shrugs. “Great, lost. I think it’s this way.” I feel the air get denser and the dragons breathing louder than when we walked in. I hit something. “What the…” I feel around. “Oh man.” It was the dragon. I can see the entrance so I make Lensey and Claude be as quiet as we could. I notice a small stone by the dragon’s neck I sneak up to take it.
“What are you doing?” Clause starts to yell, but goes down to a loud whisper. I ignore him and grab the stone; it glows in my hand. I walk back over and get Lensey and Claude out. We walk back over to Torin’s house. There we fed and took care of Lensey.
That night I ask her about the dragon and what happened . She tells me that after they got to his cave a hooded guy locked her in the room and that’s about it. I kiss her head and tell her everything is alright. She asks me to sleep with her, since she was so scared. I walk over and tell her it’s alright that nothing is going to happen to her.
Chapter 5
power of the dragon
I had the dream. I pulled myself out of bed and walked over to where I set the stone down it glows again. “What is this?” wondering I pick it up and see an eye. All of a sudden images feel my mind. Most of which depicts a battle with dragons and humans. One view that was weird was humans which looked like small dragons fighting off to the side. I came back to reality just as Lensey walks in. “Hello Mr. Draysom did you just wake up?” she ask and looking cute in the little nightgown.
“Yeah.” Looks her over “Looks like you did too.” I say. “Uh Lensey how do you view me as?” I stare at her wondering.
“What do you mean sir?” She ask getting a confused look on her face.
“Do you see me more as a master or more as a friend?” I walk up to her wait to hear her good.
“Well...uh…” she looks like she doesn’t know what to say,”…uh…will you get mad at me for saying this?” She looks up with her beautiful blue eyes and bang the covers part of her face.
I say as she moves the bang out of the way “No. I will not get angry. I just want to know.” I say waiting and truly wanting to know.
“I am see you as a…“ she says almost scared, “lover.” She looks up and I look back at her. “If you don’t feel the same way I understand. Because who really wants to love a slave?” she puts her head down as if she is ashamed and just did something wrong.
“Uh…Lensey…I have felt the same way about you for awhile now.” He tells her and lifts her head to look in her eyes. “And I would.” I kiss her on the lips. Just as my lips touches hers we both close our eyes and stood there kissing; wrapping our arms around each other kissing even more deeply and passionately. We stop and look at each other. “I should get back to helping making breakfast.” she skips out of the room and back downstairs. I stood there speechless for she took my breath away. Just as she left I look over at my weapons and armor. Slowly I walk over, almost falling onto the bed, and put them on. I stare at the stone thinking of a way to carry it for I have no pockets and no bag. As I put my father’s sword away I notice a indention, the exact size of the stone, and wonder if it was meant to be. I put it in and a blinding light emits from my sword. Almost as fast as it happened it disappeared and there I stood in armor like the ones in the vision. The feeling was unmatched to anything I have felt before my blood seemed thicker, my skin felt harder than stone, and my senses were more…powerful.
Slowly darkness from the sword crawled up my body and slowly ate me. My mind was screaming to move, but my body stayed as if it had gone through this already.
I awoke to the sound of people screaming and horses trampling through the town. Slowly I sat up in the forest . From there I saw a town being terrorized. Jumping to my feet I noticed I had my dragon armor on then noticed the wings on my back. Closing my eyes I started floating in air then with every powerful flap I got higher and higher into the sky with one large blast of the spiritual wings I shot through the growth of trees and spun in the moonlight the only people close enough to here the limbs of the trees snap looked over and saw me. I stared at them each one holding pitchforks or a club to defend their city. Sweeping down and landing in the middle of them they just stared and asked what I was. Smirking at that I answered “A dragoon.” They all dropped to their knees and thanked the gods for sending a savior. Looking down upon them I got more power stepping into the flaming carnage I walked. Two of the attackers looked over and threw axes at me. Timed slowed down enough for me to catch them and throw them back one slashing through and taking out a whole section of the torso of the guy. The other slammed in between the eyes and causing the guy to snap his neck back killing him. I walked on leaving them to be in their own dying crimson liquid. That’s when a guard rode up and brought his sword down trying to get be from behind, but just as he closed in I fell and tripped the horse sending them both flipping and breaking their necks.
If the story has errors or something, sorry I did this when I was half asleep.
Hope the paragraphs don't get confusing.
Enjoy! :)

I still don’t know what he meant, but I learned as much as I could studying by the oak tree with Dyrra when we were kids. I walked down to the kitchen room to meet Lensey.
“Master, That’s beautiful suit sir!” She said as she served the food. “Not as beautiful as your cooking.” I told her.
“Master. I have a question?” she asked. “Yes,” I said, “ and if your going to ask if I like you. Yes I do.” I looked down and took a bite of the wonderful food she made us.
“Master, you like me? I don’t know what to say.” She blushed. Took a bite of food and set her fork down. “Is that why you’re taking me to the feast tonight?” She asked with a innocent curiosity.
“Yes.” I said with a grin “Can I see your dress? Also if you need to change you can use my room.” I told her. She walked off while I cleaned the dishes, thank god for playing with the slaves.
“Master what do you think?” She asked while doing a twirl in the green plaid dress, the color of my clan family. She stood there as I looked at her while a tear slowly rolled down my cheek and fall to the ground. “Are you alright master? Is the dress bad or what?” she asked with a sound of disgrace and sadness.
“I am alright and no its not bad. Your just so beautiful in that dress.” I walked over and kissed her cheek. “So beautiful and lovely.”
“Thank you master.” She kissed my cheek back. “So what to do before the feast?” She looked outside to the lake on the edge of town.
I get the message and take her to the lake. We walk around. The day passes till night is almost upon us and we walk to the castle.
“Sir!” The guard at the gate salutes when we walk up.
“Aides” Salute him back, “Lensey this is Head guardsman Kragle and Kragle this is my guest of honor Lensey.”
“Nice to meet you Miss. Lensey hope you will enjoy tonight’s feast.” He gets the attention of the usher who shows us inside. The castle entrance is wonderfully done with mirrors and gold framed pictures of past kings, wars, and greatest heroes among them a picture of my father with the sword at his side as it is on me right now. We take our seat on the left hand side of King and Queen Haslam, plus their princess, Jessica.
“Thank you all for coming tonight to honor those who protect our village and people from the Canfield army and for those who gave their lives one of the great who fought against them was sir Lough E. Wolfe who died in action, but to represent him and who heard the last of his words his son Draysom D. Wolfe.” He sits down and wants me to speak on behalf of my father. So I stand and tell them the story of how the Canfield army attacked; I was a new recruit at that time and fought under my father command. My job was to hold the spot I was at and to try slowing the fleet down. I was successful, everyone else was cleaning up those who refused to die. Then out of nowhere a arrow shot my father thru the heart and killed him. I could make out from the coughing and chocking of his blood he told me that he was proud of me.
“What a wonderful story. A hero and the last great words to his son. We can expect great things from you. On a happier note.” He clapped his hands and servants took out all the food. They set it right in front of everyone. Everyone ate their share of food, but I ate little due to the story I had to tell. After everyone ate it was time to dance. I took Lensey’s hand and danced with her. Just as the music and that was almost done, a thunderous swoosh is heard. Just as the growl of the dragon was heard the roof caved in and grabbed Lensey. The dragon had attacked so sudden that no one could react to it. Just as I pulled my sword out it already flew away. I chased it outside and as far as I could outside.
“Lensey No! I will find you! I will save you!” I yelled as I watched them fly away into the forest and darkness. I tripped and fell on a rock.
* * *
I awoke to the sound of Dyrra and Jessica’s voice. “Sir Draysom are you alright?” I could make out. I opened my eyes slowly.
“Where,” I said as I slowly came to “Where am I?” I looked around and notice it was a huge room about the size of my kitchen with pictures, and stuff I couldn’t make out. I tried to move, but I was quickly pushed down.
“Don’t move sir. You hurt yourself pretty bad and your in princess Jessica’s room.” said Dyrra. I looked around again and notice the view of the town and that.
“I am alright just a flesh wound.” I assured her with it. I stood up and notice I was only in a shirt and pants. “Where’s my armor and weapons?” Dyrra pointed them out in the corner and I put them on. “I got to go save Lensey. Jessica can I borrow one of the knight’s horses?” I said with force.
“Um. I guess so.” I walked down to the stables and took the fastest, healthiest horse I could find. I rode him back home. There I grabbed all that I could carry, which was my weapons and medicine. I walked back out and got on the horse.
“Sir Draysom may I join you in your quest?” Claude asked just as I was at the city gate. Claude was the head of the Butta Knight Army, which was the best of all West Dragon Isle.
“As long as you don’t slow me down you may join.” I raced out of the gate and towards Dragon Valley.
Chapter 3
Republic Thieves
We rode that day through the forest without. We found a trade route trail and followed it till we got to the Republic Empire. Just as night fell and strolled through the town stopping at a cottage tavern called The Ugly Pirate. We walked in and got a room. We took our horses out back to the stables were the same guy that Lensey almost crashed into was sleeping. We went back in got some beer and a fist fight with a drunk. That night we slept in our rooms.
“Mister Draysom wake up.” Claude. I had the dream again last night. I looked out the window at the castle and gate across the way.
“Lets pack up and head out.” I pulled the covers and ordered him. I walked down and signed us out as he pulled the packs out to the horses. “Lets get to Dragon Valley by nightfall. I know someone who will give us somewhere to sleep and some real food” I tossed my pack over the horse when a group of guys came up.
“Hey give us what you have and no one gets hurt.” At the same time one of them stole our pack. They run towards the street.
“Fools.” I jump on the horse and chase the one with my pack. I jump over people and catch the guy. I pulled him up while still on my horse at full speed, “Give it over.” He tosses it on my horse. As soon it was in my lap I toss him into a stand. “ Don’t never let me catch you doing that again.” Claude, on his horse, Comes up on me. “Lets go this place is full of thieves.” I told him. We rode off. As soon as we left the city and almost a mile away from the Republic Empire territory to Dragon Valley a group of Republic guards chased us. I pulled my bow out, jumped off my horse while getting an arrow out and shoot it killing one. I toss them aside and pull my sword out. Just as one guard came to slash at me I deflect it back at him stabbing himself. I finish the last two with Claude. I get my horse back and we ride off to Dragon Valley.
Chapter 4
Dragon Valley
We enter thru the “gate”, which was just a rock formation which looks like a dragon, to the small town where my friend Torin, who is head of Dragon Valley, greats us with the most cheerfulness.
“Hello,” Torin says “great seeing you again” he ushers us to his house. Claude takes and ties the horse in the stable “What brings you to Dragon Valley?” Claude joins us just as we enter the house.
“Business. One of our friends was taken by a dragon we know she’s here somewhere. We need food and shelter for a few days till we find the cave.” I asked him.
“Sure.” Torin says. He shows us to rooms and gives us food.
We spend a few nights there and scout for where Lensey could be at. One day as we were scouting we found the most logical place she could be at. We set up for the attack.
* * *
“Alright so lets go get her.” I tied my sword on my belt, leaving my fathers behind. We left in the early morning for the cave she is in. As we walked up to the entrance I could hear the dragon’s heavy breathing and see all the corpses of past warriors trying to slay the dragon.
“I’ll watch out here.” Claude whispered to me. I could see him shaking.
“Fine, more treasure for me.” I told him. There really was no treasure, that we knew of, but to get him to keep going. I lied because I would need some more strength, if in case. We walked in the dimness growing more darker with every cold, hollow step. There was a walkway we could barely see in the darkness. The dragons breathing getting louder and louder.
“Draysom, how much further to where Lensey is?” Claude asked me even thou he knows the answer.
“I don’t know. You go ask him for directions.” pointing at the dragon. I heard the crying of a girl, “Lensey?” I walk to the crying, which grows louder. “Lensey?”
“Draysom? Is that you?” Lensey screams out into the darkness “Please get me out!”
“Don’t worry and stop with the screaming you’ll wake the dragon!” I look at the door and wonder why there’s a door in a dragon’s cave. I set the thought over and unlock the door to let Lensey out. She springs out hugs me, scared out of her mind. “Lensey lets get out of here, then you can tell me what happened. Ok?”
“Yes lets get the hell out of here!” she says. I look out thinking which way is out.
“Hey Claude know which way is out?” I look over and he shrugs. “Great, lost. I think it’s this way.” I feel the air get denser and the dragons breathing louder than when we walked in. I hit something. “What the…” I feel around. “Oh man.” It was the dragon. I can see the entrance so I make Lensey and Claude be as quiet as we could. I notice a small stone by the dragon’s neck I sneak up to take it.
“What are you doing?” Clause starts to yell, but goes down to a loud whisper. I ignore him and grab the stone; it glows in my hand. I walk back over and get Lensey and Claude out. We walk back over to Torin’s house. There we fed and took care of Lensey.
That night I ask her about the dragon and what happened . She tells me that after they got to his cave a hooded guy locked her in the room and that’s about it. I kiss her head and tell her everything is alright. She asks me to sleep with her, since she was so scared. I walk over and tell her it’s alright that nothing is going to happen to her.
Chapter 5
power of the dragon
I had the dream. I pulled myself out of bed and walked over to where I set the stone down it glows again. “What is this?” wondering I pick it up and see an eye. All of a sudden images feel my mind. Most of which depicts a battle with dragons and humans. One view that was weird was humans which looked like small dragons fighting off to the side. I came back to reality just as Lensey walks in. “Hello Mr. Draysom did you just wake up?” she ask and looking cute in the little nightgown.
“Yeah.” Looks her over “Looks like you did too.” I say. “Uh Lensey how do you view me as?” I stare at her wondering.
“What do you mean sir?” She ask getting a confused look on her face.
“Do you see me more as a master or more as a friend?” I walk up to her wait to hear her good.
“Well...uh…” she looks like she doesn’t know what to say,”…uh…will you get mad at me for saying this?” She looks up with her beautiful blue eyes and bang the covers part of her face.
I say as she moves the bang out of the way “No. I will not get angry. I just want to know.” I say waiting and truly wanting to know.
“I am see you as a…“ she says almost scared, “lover.” She looks up and I look back at her. “If you don’t feel the same way I understand. Because who really wants to love a slave?” she puts her head down as if she is ashamed and just did something wrong.
“Uh…Lensey…I have felt the same way about you for awhile now.” He tells her and lifts her head to look in her eyes. “And I would.” I kiss her on the lips. Just as my lips touches hers we both close our eyes and stood there kissing; wrapping our arms around each other kissing even more deeply and passionately. We stop and look at each other. “I should get back to helping making breakfast.” she skips out of the room and back downstairs. I stood there speechless for she took my breath away. Just as she left I look over at my weapons and armor. Slowly I walk over, almost falling onto the bed, and put them on. I stare at the stone thinking of a way to carry it for I have no pockets and no bag. As I put my father’s sword away I notice a indention, the exact size of the stone, and wonder if it was meant to be. I put it in and a blinding light emits from my sword. Almost as fast as it happened it disappeared and there I stood in armor like the ones in the vision. The feeling was unmatched to anything I have felt before my blood seemed thicker, my skin felt harder than stone, and my senses were more…powerful.
Slowly darkness from the sword crawled up my body and slowly ate me. My mind was screaming to move, but my body stayed as if it had gone through this already.
I awoke to the sound of people screaming and horses trampling through the town. Slowly I sat up in the forest . From there I saw a town being terrorized. Jumping to my feet I noticed I had my dragon armor on then noticed the wings on my back. Closing my eyes I started floating in air then with every powerful flap I got higher and higher into the sky with one large blast of the spiritual wings I shot through the growth of trees and spun in the moonlight the only people close enough to here the limbs of the trees snap looked over and saw me. I stared at them each one holding pitchforks or a club to defend their city. Sweeping down and landing in the middle of them they just stared and asked what I was. Smirking at that I answered “A dragoon.” They all dropped to their knees and thanked the gods for sending a savior. Looking down upon them I got more power stepping into the flaming carnage I walked. Two of the attackers looked over and threw axes at me. Timed slowed down enough for me to catch them and throw them back one slashing through and taking out a whole section of the torso of the guy. The other slammed in between the eyes and causing the guy to snap his neck back killing him. I walked on leaving them to be in their own dying crimson liquid. That’s when a guard rode up and brought his sword down trying to get be from behind, but just as he closed in I fell and tripped the horse sending them both flipping and breaking their necks.
If the story has errors or something, sorry I did this when I was half asleep.
