The Dragon Knight

The Boar Hat

<×><×><×>

(3rd Person POV)

A hooded figure sat at a bar, sipping her alcoholic drink slowly. The figure's gear was all dark colored, making her emit an evil aura. The bar was crowded as usual, a waitress delivering the inedible food with some klutzy mistakes. The figure lifted her head,looking towards the bar door quickly. The hood hid her expresion but she showed her anxiousness by tapping her fingers lightly and rapidly against the mug in her hand. She turns back to the bar and hails for the owner. A short blonde man comes over, a skip in his step.

"What can I getchya?" he smiles while wiping down a tankard.

"Can I go up onto the roof?" the figure says quietly, sliding the bar owner 5 gold pieces.

"Uh, an odd request but I think I can make an exception." he winks.

He leads the figure to the roof, causing the figure to sigh in relief as well as calm her anxious body language.

"Anything else I can do for you?" he asks, giving the figure a weird look.

"Three Holy Knights are coming to the bar as we speak. If they ask you if you've seen anyone similar to me, tell them you didn't see anything." the figure said, climbing on top of the railing.

She stands straight up without leaning to either side. She had exceptional balance.

"Sekki!" the figure shouts into the clouds.

She raises her hand into the sky and not a moment later, a large talon grabbed the hand. The figure was swung up upon the back of a white and gold dragon. All of this happened at an incredible speed so it was obvious they knew what they were doing.

Back on the roof, the short bar owner is watching the figure retreat with great speed. He furrows his eyebrows as he hears the Holy Knights the figure mentioned causing a ruckus downstairs. Taking a last glance at the sky, the dragon and rider are no longer in view. They seem to be long gone. When he hears a loud shout, he heads back downstairs to deal with the coming issue.

(Sheik's POV)

Crap, they always keep finding me. I was lucky that I could sense them coming this time

"Thanks for the help, Sekki." I giggle, patting his neck with my gloved hand.

He replies with a series of gurgles.

"Where to now?" I say, slumping over in the saddle and pulling down my hood.

Sekki doesn't give me an answer.

"Fine! I'll decide by myself!" I jokingly snorted.

I know I needed a new weapon as my old sword was shattered by a Holy Knight's attack. There is a caravan in Liones right now so it would be easy to slip in and snatch one.

"Can you drop me off in Liones? Afterwards, we can go hunting so you can eat." I yawned.

His features perked up at the mention of food. Piggy little bastard.

We increase speed as we approach the town before the castle. I make my way down Sekki's tail and crouch just as I reach the end. Holding onto Sekki's tail, he whips me foreward onto the top of a stone building. With another flap of his mighty wings, he is back up in the cloud cover. I keep running along the roof then I scale down the wall so no one would notice me. Knowing my luck, a civilian saw me and is alerting the town guards. I hastily walked into the bustling crowds next to the caravan. My eyes skim over the merchandise, looking for a decent sword. A silver rapier with a white handle catches my eye. I pick it up and test its sharpness on a log in a nearby carpenter's tent. It cuts a quarter of the way through without me even using my full strength. It is also light and easy to carry. It comes with a golden colored sheath too. I return the rapier into its sheath and look around slowly. Not many sellers or buyers are looking in this direction so it seems to be the best time to walk away calmly and unsuspiciously.

"Where'd the magic channeling rapier go!?" a seller shouts.

Well, time for me to go.

"He has it! He has it!" a man shouts next to me.

"Fuck." I mutter under my breath.

I see guards closing in from the north and from the west streets. The crowd is thicker in the east town square so I go towards the south road. I climb on the nearest building and stick my hand in the air.

"Sekki!" I shout.

My running stops short when an electrifying feeling courses through my chest. I fall to my knees and fumble onto my chest with a dull thud.

"Do you know how hard it is to find you?" a man asks.

"Pretty damn hard if you ask me, Gilthunder." I chuckle.

"You are in no position to be laughing." another voice says.

I can hear the wind beginning to whistle, signaling the incoming of Sekki. I stand up, shakily at first, and jump back. I raise my hand in the air once again all while dodging attacks from the frustrated Gilthunder. Sekki grabs my forearm and I shimmy my way up to the saddle as he flies off.

"After them! We may never find them again!" Gilthunder shouts.

A sharp pain in my back makes me gasp aloud. I reached my hand back to invesigate. From what I could feel, I had a fist sized injury that is continuously bleeding. The blood drips and stains Sekki's scales and some of the feathers on his wings.

"Take it away, Sekki. I'm gonna take a breather." I mumble.

Sekki grunts and looks back at me with worry in his eyes.

"It's fine. I'm fi-"

I collapse forward onto his neck.

Please let me know if I should continue with this idea. I have a problem with starting books and never finishing them.
