"I warned you not to accept" the dragon screamed "now you shall pay the price!"

It started towards me and for once in my life I had no idea what to do. I didn't have a sword on me, no weapon at all actually ,which i think is a first since I started training with Walter. I was going to have to improvise.

The dragon sent its claw flying towards me, and my gymnastics training immediately kicked in. I flipped out of the way, as the claw dug it self into the ground where i just had been standing.

I could hear all of the guys chanting in the back ground, but i had to focus on the dragon so i could live.

It pulled its claw out of the ground, leaving one of its nails behind. The nail, was like a giant fingernail, except it was really sharp at the end that was stuck in the ground, and oh yeah, it was made of metal.

I could see the dragon's claw coming towards me again. I did a dive forward roll, grabbing the nail as i hit the ground. It was about the weight of a sword, it would have to be enough.

The claw was about to hit me and I jumped to the side, slashing at its claw, but my nail didn't even make a dent. All it did was make a big bang, and defiantly seemed to make the dragon more mad.

The dream's words, bounced through my head, someone you love will die. No. No one was going to die. I am strong enough to fight this dragon. No one could possibly beat me.

I used this new found energy to attack. I jumped on to one of the claws that the dragon was sitting on. It looked at me funny for a minute before it crashed its other claw down towards me.

I jumped off at the last second, the two claws crashing into each other. The claw that i had been standing on was now flatter than one of my mom's cake that had been ran over by a monster truck.

Mmm cake.

Wait, I'm in a battle. Got to focus.

I focused just in time to see the dragon swipe at me. I ducked but it was a second to late. The claw hit my make shift sword and scratching my leg, sending the sword fly out of grasp and knocking me off my feet. The dragon stalked towards me and i crawled backwards, my leg stinging in pain.

It was getting closer and as i crawled back faster all of a sudden i hit a tree. My heart raced with dread. I was finally about to loose.

I watched the dragon come closer and my leg felt as if was on fire. I wanted to stand and run but i couldn't squat on my leg with out collapsing in pain.

I wanted to put my head down and cry, i wanted to kiss Oliver one more time, but alass, i must be meant to die. (A/N: like my rhyme there? Hehe I thought it was coolio XD continue on my readers!)

I was not weak though, i wouldn't cry. I was brave. I would die with my eyes open, glaring at the dragon. Yes. That is what i was going to do.

I pulled my head up, it was just in time to see the dragon's claw come crashing towards me.

The claw was 1.5 of my standing heights away, when all of a sudden a dark figure jumped in front of me. All i could see was their dark silhouette as the sun was rising behind them. They took the blow of the claw, the claw cutting through the figure's body and the pushed the blow to the side so it didn't hit me.
