The Darkest Dragons

CHP. 29 "Destiny Fulfilled"

The dragon's skin was bubbling and the sound and smell were horrid. He lifted off the ground before bursting. Out of his body came this shadow. It rose high into the sky. The bone dragons crumpled and turned to dust and the remaining dragons and riders touched down. Watching as the shadow morphed into a man. 

"HahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Finaly! Ah, Spirits it is good to be free!" He stopped and looked down at us, 

"Where are the two brats. I should almost thank you! But no, I still want what you have denied me for years. For centuries! Your family goes back too long! Generation after generation! I am never able to get close enough. Oh, but Censillia was smart... oh-ho yes she was. Ah, there you are, my dear. Censillia, you look just as beautiful as ever my dear." She stepped forward and snarled, 

"Don't ever call me Dear, you tried to destroy everything I loved! You wanted control, you never wanted me!" He snarled and drew close to her,

"No! I did love you! But you were to blinded by that filths lies! You took everything from me when you married him. You ripped my heart out and danced on its grave. When you killed my dragon... oh... that was the last straw. I vowed to destroy everything you love now, so you too can feel just the way I did when you killed me that day!" 

He became a solid entity and hit the ground with force that shook us all. He produced a sword and sent a blow towards my grandmother. Abelard stepped forward and blocked his blow. He threw the man back and bared his teeth.

"You will not touch my family!" He dodged another blow the man sent and  with blinding speed, cut the mans arm. Except, it wasn't truly his arm. It passed through him and he went up in a ploom of smoke. He materialized above us again and laughed,

"You think I can be defeated using that? Foolish boy!" He pointed towards Abelard and a white bolt of lightning shot down. It hit him and he was flung away from us. The man laughed as we reached him but Abelard coughed and sat up, slowly and sore. The man stopped laughing abruptly upon seeing ABelard okay. I wiped my tears,

"Wh-what happened? How are you- how are you alive?" He felt around his body and shook his head slowly,

"I don't kn- wait... it must be the necklace. It gives protection." I smiled and hugged him to me. The man scoffed, 

"Ha- so one of you lived. You won't soon enough." He shot another bolt of lightnight but a general jumped in front of it, the scream cut short as he fell. I gasped and watched as he stayed unmoving on the ground. 

I looked up at him, almost calmly, soon. I could feel it. The sorceress sent an answering blast and they dodged and shot at each other. The air crackling with the energy. 

I opened the link desperately and told every dragon to grab their riders and escape. 

They erupted from the ground and then we were the only ones left. How were we going to defeat something we couldn't even hit? 

I saw Abelard take something out and with a few whsipered words a Sorcerer appeared out of thin air. He turned and took in the scene before quickly taking action. He matched the Scorceresses blows as he too sent energy towards the being. 

Suddenly a dragon descended and energy crackled and spurted towards the being. Mother Gasped, 

"Dad?! What are you doing here!?" He didn't asnwer as he sent bolts of energy towards the man. He was becoming desperate. Our grandmother smiled towards our grandfather,

"It's been too long My Soul." He smiled and nodded,

"Yes it has been, my dearest. How good it feels to once again fight by your side." The man seemed enraged to see their interaction. He sent out one more blast, stronger than all the others and hit the both of them. They screamed in agony and fell. He hit them again and again. Mother wailed. When he stopped he waited, he seemed conflicted, angry and upset at the same time.
