Wings of fire: Eye Of Creation

Part 2 "The demons hiding in the light" chapter 1

He laughed as he looked down on the broken body's of the pathetic scavengers who had dared to challenge him. The intoxicating smell of blood and burnng flesh filled his nostrels that oozed from the burnt village delighted him. The sun had began to rise and the brown dragon hissed at it. it was time to return to the mountain to rest. 

Clay woke from the nightmare with a start and then let lose a revieled sigh. 'it was only a dream' As he left his cave he didn't notice the blood stains on the window... or the large imprint of dragon prints much larger them himself leaving and entering his cave. Clay remembered how a couple of weeks ago he had constintaly been feeling strange at first it was only a little but as time had passed the urge to attack to kill had had nearly become irresistable until the dreams came. Then the urge vanished completely. sure the dreams were a little weird but the dreams were far preferable to the urge. 

Clay proceded to breakfast as he usually did being the 1st one there {it was no coincidence that clay's cave was closest to the hunting cave} when he heard Tsunami shout "you're eye's they've healed! when did this happen! is animus magic working again?" Clay ran as fast as he could to the sound and found out that starflight could see again.When starflight explained what had happened clay began to think of his leg. what had been hapening to starflight sounded similar to what clay was experiencing {he convienently forgot the killing part} so he asked starflight what he believed may have caused the miracle and starflight told him that he tried to understand the dreams and when he encountered the scroll with the dragon midnight's name in it, it probably was the driving factor of what caused it. Clay came to the conclusion that if he embraced the dark urge it would not only leave him but heal him.

but what Clay was experiencing was nothing like Starflight.

That night instead of going to sleep he closed his eyes and remembered all of the dreams he had over the last month's , he remembered the dark urge and forced himself to feel it once again. The effect was instantaneous. he felt the urge once again just as strong as it had once been. a sharp pain came from his limp and when he looked he found that it was healing itself. delighted clay was about to cheer with joy when a headache worse than the snakebite struck. it was so painful he couldn't even scream in pain he just fell limp in to much pain to do anything. then he felt the dark urge overcome him and his vision went black. 

The transformed clay stood and cracked its neck. finally it could kill again it walked out of the academy and flew out of sight before it transformed. it grew in size until it was as large as a full grown dragon, its spines and claws and teeth sharpened into instruments of death, its sense's hightened and a bloodlust was sowed into it. Before it had hunted the tiny pathetic scavengers but now it wanted something more challenging...... like a dragon. The beast flew away from the academy. this time it wouldn't be cautious it would kill as much as i pleased before it was satisfied. and it didn't have to wait long soon it found a small settlement of skywings unbenownst to the beast these skywings were fugitives of queen ruby for treason and were sentenced to beheading. there were 15 in all before the sun rose there were none. it looked at the sunrise and the fresh corpse in its talons. oh well the sun was up it didn't matter if anything saw him it was a killing machine. the beast walked under a nearby tree and fell asleep.

Clay smelled blood. He opened his eyes to the most grusome scene he had ever scene. he was sick to the stomach when he remembered the dream he had just had and realised it was no dream and it was no vision of the past it was realilty it was what he had done in the night the hunger to kill had never vanished it had only been satsified. "You stop in the name of the queen!" Clay was shaken from his thoughts by the voice of a male dragon. He looked up in shock and fear as he was sorrounded by skywing soilders in armor.

There was 7 of them and they all had spears pointed at him. Clays heart sank as he knew that there was no way out of this. "wait!" the soilders and clay looked up in suprise as Queen ruby appeared. 

"Clay what happened here?" asked Queen ruby. there was instantly chatter among the soilders "clay? whose clay?" "thought he would be bigger" "where's his limp?" "thought he was a kind soul not a murder" Ruby looked at clay and realised that clay was uncomfortable with all of the gaurds here "leave us now" ordered Ruby the gaurds instantly began to protest but Ruby was not listening and repeated her self "leave now i order you or so help me i'll assign you to gaurding chameleon" at her words the soilders left reluctently but left all the same. "clay come with me" Ruby and clay left the scene of the massacre and clay noticed that his talons were soaked with blood so Ruby led them to a river "tell me what happened clay i need to know don't worry you aren't in trouble those skywings were traitors for treason and attempted murder of the queen they wouldve died anyway" Her words didn't exactly ease clay but at least he knew now that they weren't innocent that piece of information was what made him tell her. "i killed them" Clay began to tell her what had happened and couldn't stop himself. Ruby nodded clay could almost see the gears turning in her head "i have heard legends of something like this" Clay looked at her almost begging to know more. "i'm sorry clay but i don't know anything more but their is someone who might." Clay looked at ruby "who?" he needed to know what was happening to him and if there was anyway to stop it or cure it. "once osprey mentioned a legend about a Blackwing mudwing or something and said that if they even had control of one they could win the war but i never believed him until now sadly osprey is dead and i dont know the legend but the mudwings might" "do you really think so?" Ruby nodded "i'll go with you myself and maybe peril to we can go and find out everything about this legend as we can and see if there is a cure sound good?" Clay couldn't believe the sudden turn of events he agreed immediately and after a short detour to jade mountain and convincing peril to acompany them they headed for the mud palace.
