Dragons: The Viking Saga (The Prequel)

Chapter Thirty-Two: Strike In, Strike Out (Part One)

Mazrieth's POV

"....the Triple Stryke!"

I gasped upon the scorpion-like dragon as it appears on front of me, with its loud growl. Its 'cat' eyes are looking at me, clinching its claws right on until it roars.

"Oh okay?", I examined the dragon. "Triple Stryke... A sharp class dragon, yet agile and very dangerous thing..." I huffed as I stared at the dragon. "And also, it has sharp claws to slice or to be frank, killing their victim."

Shianne and Dad just staring at me. "Go, Mazrieth..." Their expression didn't changed as they've felt exciting as believed to be that I'm planning to slay the dragon. Well, that's impossible for you to think about it...

"Mazrieth...", Camicazi sighed until she cheered. "Be careful on that dragon! Don't be killed!"

On that moment, I breathed slowly and approached to the dragon slowly. 

"Easy there, fella.."

However, the Triple Stryke made its move as the tail as it clamps and went its first attack. "What the--?" I dodged it. I jumped as I attempt to charged towards me. The crowds went their cheering voice. 

"Mazrieth, be careful!"

"Make your move, lad!"

"You can do it, Mazrieth!"

"You're our hero!"

"Go, laddie!"

The dragon begins to shoot some fire blasts at me, although I avoid it quickly. I used my shield as my protection as it goes well. This thing is a smart one but fully agile.

Triple Stryke continues to attack me nonstop by using the tail and the blasts. I plainly prevented myself of getting hit. "I need a plan..." The tail whipped against my shield as I realized that it dares to remove my hand on the shield. Until then, the tail's sharp spine breaks my shield with one force. "Argh!" I didn't let go as it throws me away.

"Mazrieth!", Ivory shocked of what she saw and looks worried at me. "You alright?"

I nodded and I stood up straight and looks at the dragon. In one second, the tail suddenly wrapped onto me. I struggled roughly. "Arrgh!"

"Maz!", Shianne screamed and walked towards the arena's front door. "Mazrieth!!"

I gulped as one tail raised with its poisoned sting and ready to make its final streak. "I'm not gonna be dead!" With all my strength applied to my legs, I kicked the dragon thrice. Although, it didn't worked. I watched all the people on the stage. Their face remained excited but some are horrified. My dad, I can see him just watching at me with his grinning smile.

"Damn... For the love of Thor...", I muttered. 

Maybe this is how I die as well... Does it means they didn't care if one Viking dies if it fails? I can't move. And the dragon readied to strike within the tail onto me as I realized...I faced...

...death...

"This is the end for me...", I whimpered as I closed my eyes as my final vow onto the Triple Stryke. 

I waited for the moment to kill me but....one thing happens next...
