Knights of Dragonia

chapter 8: A Broken Promise

I some how managed to get this chapter out pretty fast. Yay me! Not much to say except enjoy the story.

Andrea sat in the cockpit worried about James greatly. He had been gone for hours now but to keep her mind off things she was reading about the Harbinger War. It truly was a terrifying war as it took place in on four worlds and even within their own frigates. The Harbingers were a parasitic discovered on a planet called Titan XV after digging up something called The First. The first infection took aboard...The Epsilon 1X. Andrea was shocked most of all over it being James’s first ship. He told her that he lost it in battle but as it turned out the ship was completely infested. Out of desperation he drove the ship into a sun and abandoned the ship. He floated around in space with no armor and in a form of hibernation for three hundred hours with a beacon attached to his coat. He was eventually found by The Dark Shroud and The Frozen Queen, Dusk’s and Snowflake’s ships.

By the gods. The horrors they must had seen. His entire crew, the women, the children. Him being a Nephilim and Silden having James's blood flowing through him was what saved them. Wait...it says here they went through many psychiatric evaluations in Nitora. A space station that later came under attack as soon as he woke.

Andrea started pulling up more and more files on the Harbinger War until a small hologram screen came up with a communication bar.

“Hey.” it was James and he sounded tired or depressed. It had been hours since they left the ship and Andrea was glad to hear his voice. “it's me. Everything okay there?”

“Yeah, how are you holding up?”

“Fine I guess. Actually having a little fun here and there but...you know.”

“Did you find Tanner’s mother?”

“Yeah. She...didn't make it but I made sure she didn't turn. We have a definite Harbinger infestation here.”

“Do you need to take a break? I can come down and get you.”

“No. I can keep going. We’ve done been to R&d, The captain's deck, and the bridge. Found a few good bits here and there and took a few pictures of some drawings on the wall. Heading to the cargo bay to see what they dug up. After that then we’re coming back.”

“Alright, be safe. By the way, you sound tired, but you're actually having fun are you?”

“This is very therapeutic. I forgotten how much fun this is when you don't have to hold back. That and this is so reminding me of when I was a Dark Hunter.”

“Well, i guess it’s better than you being nervous. Have fun and once again, be careful. I love you.”

“Love you to, hun.”

James closed the communication box and looked at the armless Harbinger he had locked in his arm as it tried to wiggle its way out of his arms.

“You hear that mate? I got the clear to go all out.” he said to the Harbinger. “You know what that means Silden?”

“What?” said the dragon as he keep a head in the air by kicking it into the air.

“It means we’re allowed to have as much fun as possible and not get in trouble.”

Silden cheered before kicking the head into a trash can perfectly. James wrapped his other arm around the Harbinger’s head and easily popped it like a blood filled water balloon. He picked up his sword and charged down the the hall as a herd Harbingers of different shapes and sizes were charging straight at them. He didn't waver or turn around, he simply dove into the herd and started tearing them to pieces. Silden charged in with spikes in both hands and yelling like a indian in a war band. The two hacked and cut their way through the hordes of Harbingers as they leapt, flipped, and jumped off the Harbingers. Cutting them before they even landed until they were all the way through to the end.
