A dragon's life page 4
As Tomias and Scarlet talk. There were forces getting ready to attack the group. No one knew of it for they were a few miles away.
Scarlett remained silent, confused, she narrowed her eyes and held her staff out, magic swam around the top of it threatning to fire out any second.
"your magic will not penetrate the barrier" Tomias warned, showing not even the slightest sign of worry "so might I suggest you relax a little and we can have that chat I promised" he gestured to a large rock next to where she was standing as if to invite her to sit down.
The forces that were getting ready included 20 mind controlled Ogres, 20 mind controlled goblins, 10 mind controlled drakes, and 2 mind controlled giant Ogres.
Scarlett still held up her magical barrier as she moved slowly to the rock, making sure to keep and eye on Tomias.
Tomias exhaled slowly "child if I wished you harm i would have done so when we first met, and I've had plenty of opportunities to do so as we talked, I didn't even need have to warn you bout the barrier and yet I did, do you still think me some kind of rampaging bloodthirsty monster after all that?"
As if on that note there was a war horn sounding in the distance. Then there was a roar after roar after roar. The newly formed army was on the move.
Scarlett jumped at the sound of the horn.
Angelus runs up to Tomias a bit scared at the sounds. "Whats going on?"
Tomias narrowed his eyes to focus on the approaching dust cloud "trouble" was his answer before throwing his head back in a loud roar of warning to the other "WARRIORS TO ARMS! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK PREPARE FOR BATTLE!"
The dark elves start to help the warriors get ready. After a few moments everyone was ready, and lined up. Pikemen/spearm
en infront, then the swordsmen, then the archers. With the dragons and Ronin at the back of the lined up warriors. The dark elves on the other hand sent a few people back who were too young to fight.
Voronwe looks at Shuruikan and says "I can sense your daughter at this moment. She is about to be in a battle."
Shuruikan looks at Voronwe "Lets go find her."
Voronwe simply states "This is for you. We will meet again. Go to the valley of flames, your daughter is there."
Shuruikan thanks Voronwe and bids everyone farewell. He exits the inn and changes into his dragon form. He lifts off and turns towards the valley of flames.
Tomias reared himself up to his full height, wings spread wide, the crystals on his chest and forehead began to glow brightly as he attempted to reinforce the barrier "I don't know how long I'll be able to keep the barrier up, especially with those drakes up there" he said glancing up at the many drakes circling the dome-like barrier waiting for the slightest hint of weakness.
The ogres come to the barrier first with the goblins trailing behind. One of the drakes spots Scarlett and swoops down at her jaws wide open.
"ARCHERS! READY! AIM!" Ronin instructs the archers to aim at the ogres. "FIRE!"
The drake that swooped on Scarlett was suddenly blasted from the sky by a stream of crystal fire from Tomias, he remained silent as twin streams of white smoke spiraled up from his nostrils.
Shuruikan reaches the Valley of Flames. He sees a drake get blasted out of the sky by crystal like fire. He sees more drakes flying around in circles.
"Angelus... You better be safe."
The drakes stop circleing the barrier and turn to look at a newly arrived dragon. This dragon is bigger than the ones on the ground combined.
Angelus looks up to see the drakes stop circleing. "Whats going on?"
Shuruikan lets out such a loud roar that the ground shakes.
Tomias looked up toget a better look through the top of the barrier "it looks like another Dragon has appeared" his eyes narrowed "and he's a big one, but I've never seen him before in my life"
Shuruikan flies towards the drakes mouth wide open. One of the drakes flies at Shuruikan only to end up in his mouth. Shuruikan shakes his head violently tearing limbs off.
Tomias watched closely "it does appear that he is not on Tagen's side, but it doesn't mean he's an ally" he said calmly as he considered whether or not he should take wing and aid the stranger in dealing with the Drakes while the others take on the ground forces.
The other drakes Start to fly at Shuruikan. Shuruikan lets go of the drake in his mouth, stops flying and positions himself to let lose a extreamely large jet of red fire disinegrating the drakes.
He turns his head downwards. "May I land?"
Tomias nodded "as long as you do not possess a malicious intent for those within the barrier you will be able to pass through safely" he explained to the stranger.
Shuruikan starts to glide down and lands a bit away from the camp then walks into the camp. The warriors look a bit afraid cause of his size.
Ronin looks at him in shock at how big he is.
Some of the archers arrows hit their marks but most bounce off due to magic.
Tomias gives Ronin a quick glance telling her not to attack the newcomer before looking at the dragon again, considering whether he should introduce himself or wait for him to make do the same.
"I am of no threat. I'm just looking for my daughter." Shuruikan says slowly.
"a search for ones family..." Tomias said softly "I can respect that, I am Tomias of the Crystal Range, and you?" he said deciding to introduce himself first.
"So we finally meet Tomias. My name is Shuruikan." Shuruikan mentally thinks to Tomias My daughters name is Angelus. if she is her do not tell her that I'm her father.
Tomias nodded "you've heard of me it seems" he replied as he thought back this youngling is indeed Angelus, and I will keep your secret for now, but I do think you should reveal to her, she has already faced the death of her mother and that would make you her only family.
"I've heard things about you, like the fact your a great teacher." Shuruikan nods to Tomias. I think your right i will reveal it to her when the time is right.
"I have taught many, most have become great on their own, I mearly pointed them in the right direction" Tomias replied wait until our mission is complete at least, it will give you both time to get to know one another.
Shuruikan nods. "What's with all this fighting?"
Tomias turned and looked over at the horde of creatures attempting to breach the barrier "these are minions of Tagen, A dark Dragon who resides in these lands, he does not wish us to rescue a captive of his by the name of Jaren, the leader of the Celestial Knights and keeper of a powerful blade, Tagen desires to possess that blade and know it's secrets, he believes all magic rightfully belongs solely to dragon kind" he explained.
“The barrier will not hold for much longer,” Sebastian observed, “I suggest we come up with a strategy and execute it before we are overwhelmed!” Sebastian was in human form, and if Tagen had eyes within these creatures, then his secret was still safe, and the original plan was still a good one.
Shuruikan looks at the creatures. "Tomias, I will help in anyway I can. I can't stand being a lawless dragon anymore." Shuruikan says as he positions himself to see the creatures better.
Tomias nodded "your help would be appreciated" he then turned to the others "Ronin! ready your men to attack, we will not be able to advance if unless we defeat these Tagen's flunkies" he then looked at Angelus "I will be taking Kailize with me to deal with the Drakes, I want you to stay close to Shuruikan while I'm away"
"Yes sir." Angelus moves towards Shuruikan looking like a midget to him.
Ronin starts to say something to Tomias but stops. "FOWARD SPEARMEN! ARCHERS STAY BACK AND FIRE ARROWS!" She also calls half of the swordsman to follow her as she exits the barrier to sneak up behind the enemy.
"Angelus I will protect you. You must trust me on this." Shuruikan looks at Angelus, all the while in his heart he knows it's his daughter.
Angelus looks up at him. "Ok. I guess, I can trust you."
Tomias spread his wings wide and lowered himself slightly so Kailiza could climb aboard "climb on young warrior, it's time for battle" he said in a stern and serious tone.
Jenieve:"Hello?"
Picking up a sword, Sebastian began marching towards the hoard Tagen’s hoard of evil darkspawn. In his mind he readied himself for what he knew was going to be a difficult fight. It’s been a while since I’ve fought in a human form, should be interesting to see how I do, he thought to himself.
