The Death of Pyrus

      Hydro flew down on the battlefield. Dragons swarmed left and right. He dodged fire bolts and ice shards that flew at him from all sides. He looked behind him. Blaze was fighting off a larger green dragon. Hydro recognized him as Rhino. Blaze turned to Hydro and nodded. She started, "Don't worry, I got thi-." Blaze was cut off as Rhino slammed his large paw into her head. Her eyes glazed as she hurtled to the ground. "No!" Hydro screamed. Chameleon appeared next to him. He placed his head on Hydro's shoulder. A single tear fell from his eyes. Hydro backed up and shook his head. "We have to finish this quest, let's go." Chameleon looked at him, a look of sadness showing clearly. He nodded, both dragons flew back up. Spotting their target, they zoomed towards him. It was king Pyrus. His red scales glistened in the sun. He wore Battle armor that covered most of him. His head was covered by a large helmet. Hydro watched as king Pyrus took out a whole flank with his fire. He heard a thud from behind him and turned to look. Chameleon had a spear impaled in his chest. He seemed to hover in the air for a second, not flapping his wings. Then he fell, landing with a sickening crunch. Hydro's eyes were wide. Then he heard something odd. A strange sound: no sound. Everyone had gone silent. He turned around and saw it. The dead body of king Pyrus.
