What to do?
Kai drummed the clanker in a trance.
All eyes were upon him, watching him, staring at him for the idiocy he had just shown by asking for the clanker. 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15... for how long could he feign this awed expression on his face at the sight of this magical device? he wondered.
"OK," the High Goblin said. "Give it back."
Kai crawled towards the goblin at a snail's pace. Now the condemning eyes were turning into that of questioning. It wasn't any good sign. He must return it, Kai knew.
20th second...
23rd second...
25th...
BOOM!
The entire platform of the cliff they were standing on shook as if it was a clanker itself, clutched by some unseen, monstrous hand.
A shockwave travailed its way up, lifting dust and stones as if they were twigs. Thunderous noise echoed in the maze-like tunnels as heavy boulders, held by the tiniest frictional grip before, came tumbling down from their home, falling into the deeper holes of the abyss.
The wizards fell, losing their footing.
Kai had stopped the drumming long ago.
30th second...
ROAR!
The dragon, not hearing the appalling sound, cried out its lungs at the puny things in front of its eyes. Pillars after pillars of red-white fire got belched out over them. The wizards scampered off, searching for any shade they could find.
Solanky wasn't lucky enough.
It was as if the fire had taken a human outline and was dancing in the madness, singing a heart-wrenching song of death and destruction. The cries that Solanky let out that day, burning in front of the dragon, were bound to echo for years to come.
"Stupefy! SHAKE THE BLOODY CLANKER!"
The High Guard kept shouting, firing magical blue balls at the dragon.
Kai was already slithering from the dragon's blind spot towards it. There was a madness within him too. Power was just dozens of meters away from him. He would get it. He would make it his own. This power, this dragon, and this blood essence was his and his alone.
45th second...
The dragon let out fiery cries, trying to shake itself from the iron grip which the chains had on its throat. The wizards kept firing stunning spells at its mouth, trying to get that sweet spot before it burned away their mortal flesh.
Kai grinned.
The horned tail was in his sight. Over the fallen pillar, down the opening, slithering around a boulder, and at last, Kai had it.
Yes. He had it.
55th second...
