Dragons: The Viking Saga (The Prequel)

Chapter Forty-Four: The Reigned Hero

(Shianne's Point of View)

That battle of hers...has unexpected of outcome...

Explosions appeared as the Red Death fell to its flaming crumble onto its death. When it does, a big flames came out. I gasped for what I see. But then, I saw nothing about Mazrieth and her dragon. 

"Mazrieth!", Father yelled. 

I run towards it but one hand stopped me. "Hey don't come near it!", it was Steven. "Don't, Shianne..."

My heart went trembling and beating fast when I look at the fire. I didn't saw Mazrieth and her Razorwhip. Did they survive? However, I don't see any traces of them... Are they....?

(Narration's Point of View)

The battle ended with a big crash of Red Death onto the ground. It ended as Mazrieth's last idea went victorious but....did they survive?

Few minutes later, a man appeared onto the big gray ashes yelled out.

"Mazrieth! Mazrieth!", Gregor called out. "Mazrieth! Maz!", he repeated but no response. He looked around but she isn't here. Where was she? 

He was looking for Mazrieth. The one who defeated the Red Death. The one who cried out for their safety. The one who firstly trained dragons. The one who saved them. Her brave daughter. Where wonder she would be? 

"Mazrieth! Where are you?!", he shouted but the same outcome it was. She didn't answer. 

Now, the Chief worried out and fell onto a feeling struggle as he felt that he might be the reason that she is gone. "Mazrieth!", he called again until his cheeks drew his tears out. For not hearing her. For hurting her. He can blame himself for what he'd done to Mazrieth. 

But then...

"Chief!", Steven calls him. "Look!" Suddenly, Steven pointed a figure walking towards them. "Look at that.."

It was blurry. Gregor's watery tears blocking his tears but he wipes it since he saw an approaching persona coming to them. "What was that?" 

Sooner when it comes closer to them, it was revealed to have two figures coming but the other one is different. Gregor wondered about it and so was the others. He came closer to know about it until the figures went out from being mysterious. 

An injured red-oranged girl appeared with her right arm holding onto her broken arm with a silvered dragon helped her out to walk. "Wha...what the--?"

"Hey guys...", a faint feminine tone greets them with a gentle smile. Her face might bruised a bit during the explosion. They've realized that...she was luckily to survive.

"Mazrieth...", Gregor almost dropped himself but then, he ran towards her with a tears flowing out from his worried eyes. "Mazrieth!", until he squeals as he hugs her tightly. "Thank Thor! You're okay, Mazrieth.." 

"Oof!", she grunted as she winced in pain. "Dad.. Be careful.. I-.."

His eyes went cried with happiness. "Mazrieth.. Thank Thor that you're fine.." He truly loved her so much for real. This made her happy and hugged back. Afterwards, the others joined them. 

"Maddy!", Shianne yelped as she joins the hug with her crying face. "Don't ever do that again!", she cried and hugs her. 

"Thank Thor that you're alright, Maz..", Camicazi assured with a smile. 

"Hey Mazrieth... You did it!", Ivory chuckled but then, she frowned. "But..you almost died out there!"

"I'm sorry for that, guys..but I have no choice...", she paused. "Though, I almost had a death wish for you all...however, I ended being alive by my buddy here!" Then, she hugged her best friend. Her Razorwhip. Her savior.

"She protected me-- OW!", but then, Mazrieth grunted in pain.

Steven approached as he analyzes her. "Looks like this lad has an injury.. She has a broken arm...and...", however, he was shocked to see it.

Mazrieth's left arm was revealed to be burned by the fire from the explosions and a blood appearing on it. Everyone went speechless to see her broken burned arm. When Gregor see it, he responded as he rips one cloth from his shirt and wraps onto her left arm gently. "There..."

Lately, he carries Mazrieth onto her shoulder. "EH? Dad?!", she squeaked. 

"Maz... Take a rest..", he smiled as he kissed her forehead. "You're injured." 

She sighed and looks back onto him with her deepest smile. "I have no choice for that, Dad.. Alright.. Thanks, Dad.." 

Then, Gregor looked at Flare. "Thank you for saving my Mazrieth... Thank you for all..." 

As he goes to them, he joyfully shouted. 

"She's alive! Our hero is alive!", Gregor declares her actions as a heroine. A brave hero. The hero of Krell.

The Krellians were happy to see Mazrieth safe and alive. They're now rejoiced for the hero's comeback. With that, a sudden appearance from the dragons looks at them and sniffs them gently. But then, the dragons wants them to be their trainer. 

Mazrieth was happy to see it. The peace she was dream of. The peace where dragons and Vikings are united as one.
