The Tale of Friedensberg

Chapter 11 - The Final Battle

Jade, Ivory, Donshawaro, Kael and the rest of the pack stood outside of the cave. Jade had completed her training, and mastered her powers of the dragon.  "Jade. It is time." Ivory said, walking and facing the direction of the fortress. "Yes. It is time. And this time we can both fly to that fortress. It will take less time to get there. I have already taken too much time training. Three long, grueling weeks." With that, Jade and Ivory flew off towards the fortress. The two flew over the vast amount of trees, and Jade never felt so free, flying through the sky. Moments later, the fortress was close in view. They landed in front of the fortress. Jade's heart was pounding with anticipation like a drumbeat in her chest. She had come so far, and now the moment of truth had finally arrived. She was ready to face Seth, and get Kai out of the dungeon cell. Jade and Ivory burst through the front gates and ran through the corridor into the main room. No one was in sight, but then Seth emerged from the shadows, his eyes gleaming with determination like two polished stones. "Welcome, Jade," he sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "I see you're back for another beat down." Seth grinned maliciously. Jade drew her sword, its blade shining with a fierce light like a beacon in the darkness. "You won't win this one Seth. I can guarantee that." She could feel the power of the dragon coursing through her veins, her heart pounding with determination like a wild animal. This was it, the final battle. The two enemies faced off, their eyes locked in a fierce stare like two titans clashing.

 The air was electric with tension, the ground trembling with anticipation like a leaf in a hurricane. And then, with a sudden burst of speed, Seth charged at her, his sword flashing in the sunlight like a lightning bolt. Jade leapt to meet him, her sword flashing in the sunlight like a mirror reflecting the sun's rays. The battle was intense, the two fighters exchanging blows and dodging attacks like two dancers performing a deadly waltz. Seth was a skilled fighter, but Jade's determination and courage were stronger. She fought with every ounce of strength she had, her dragon heritage guiding her like a compass pointing true north. With her enhanced strength, speed, and agility, Jade was able to dodge and counter Seth's attacks with ease, her movements fluid and graceful like a cat pouncing on its prey. Her powerful claws and teeth made her a formidable opponent in close combat, and Seth was forced to retreat like a ship sailing from a stormy sea. But Seth refused to give up, his determination burning like a fire that refused to be extinguished. He charged at Jade again and again, his sword flashing in the sunlight like a meteor streaking across the sky. Jade met him head-on, their blades clashing in a flurry of steel and sparks like a blacksmith hammering away at his anvil. The battle was intense, the two fighters evenly matched like two sides of a scale. But in the end, Jade's dragon powers proved to be too much for Seth. With a mighty roar, she unleashed a powerful blow, striking Seth to the ground like a thunderbolt striking a tree. He lay there, defeated, as Jade stood over him, her chest heaving with exertion like a bellows blowing air into a furnace.

With Seth defeated, Jade didn't hesitate. She knew she had to act fast to save Kai. She sheathed her sword and turned to Ivory, who was watching her with wide eyes. "Come on, Ivory! We have to get to Kai!" Ivory nodded, and together they raced down the stairs, their footsteps echoing off the stone walls. They burst through the door to the cells, and Jade's heart sank at the sight before her. Kai lay on the floor, his body battered and bruised, his eyes closed. Jade rushed to his side, falling to her knees. "Kai!" she whispered, her voice shaking with fear. "Oh, Kai!" Ivory joined her, and together they examined Kai's injuries. He had been beaten mercilessly, his face swollen and bloody, his body covered in bruises." We have to get him out of here," Jade said, her mind racing. "We have to get him to safety." Ivory nodded, and together they lifted Kai, carrying him between them as they made their way back up to the main level. As they emerged into the sunlight, Jade felt a sense of relief wash over her. They had made it. As Jade and Ivory carried Kai away from the fortress, they thought they had finally emerged victorious. But they were wrong. Seth was not done yet, he had only been knocked down. And as they made their way back to the village, they could hear the sound of Seth's fury echoing through the land. "He's not going to give up," Ivory said, her eyes scanning the horizon. "We need to get Kai to safety, now." Jade nodded, her heart racing with fear. She knew that Seth would stop at nothing to destroy her. And as they approached the village, they could see Seth's dark form looming in the distance, his eyes blazing with hatred. "He's going to destroy everything," Jade whispered, her voice trembling with fear. But Ivory's face was set in determination. "We won't let him," she said. "We'll fight to the end." And with that, the two women charged forward, ready to face whatever lay ahead. The fate of the village, of Kai, and of the entire land hung in the balance. And Jade knew that she would do whatever it took to protect it.
