The Dragon Wars of Tork

Chapter 5 Dragons are Marking

As Zerk, Peakle, and Jean made their way up the stairs Peakle asked,"What kind of dragon will you guys want to get?"

"Well of course everyone wants to getthe black speeded clubbed-spiked tail. But their is only one in a batch and always hatches first we might be to late to even get it. I want to get the black clubbed tail." replied Zork. It was true the black clubbed tail was strong but, the thing is dragons are always random they go to the most worthy. Zerk didnt think he was worthy. But you made it through the maze he thought to himself.

"I want a red razor. They I think are the best I mean sharp horns to shred enemies. A spiked tail that and it's fast!" replied Peakle with awe. As they approached the wide open doors they looked through. Their was at least a quarter of the people who started waiting there. As soon as they walked in Seath jumped out of nowhere and gave them hugs.

"Thank god your alive that was rough wouldn't you say?" Seath asked.

"Well I can't say it wasnt anyway have the dragons hatched yet?"

"Nope not a single one did you know they have cameras in the maze to see who dies?" Seath asked.

"No we didn't actually who said that?" Jean replied by asking a question.

"Mr. Pery said." Seath replied.

Not a moment later did Mr. Pery stand up and announce,"Close the doors I checked the camera everyone else is dead or they gave up before we started. Make a circle around the eggs they should be hatching soon. They scrambled around trying to get into a circle. When everyone was they looked at the eggs in silence.

No one moved or talked they all just stared at the beutiful eggs. The eggs were four feet tall and the color of the dragon inside. A minute went by but nothing happened then five then ten. Were they even going to hatch everyone was starting to whisper to their friends or fidget. Suddenly someone spoke up," when are they going to hatch." Not a moment afterward did the first hatch.

Everyone held their breath the dragon had four feet like everyother dragon. It's front legs were longer than the back so it could pick up prey. It's wings were folded neatly to it's sides. It stood up proudly puffing out its chest which was made of rough armor like everywhere else on it's body. Unlike every other dragon it's tail was spiked and clubbed! It was black and had razor sharp teeth.

Then it moved it walked one foot after another. Most dragons when born they have stumble this one had no problem controlling it's body. It walked on toward the middle and when it was in front of the person in the center it turned. It had turned to walk toward Zerks direction. Before the dragon even made it to whoever it wanted to go to the second egg hatched a red of the same breed. Then a blue, green, yellow, and purple each of the same breed. Then the black reached it's destination.

Standing in front of Zerk it retracted it's spikes and club. Ya they could do that so they have regular tail instead. It wrapped it around Zerks arm and set it aflame causing him to yell. He knew he was being marked the very thing that connects a dragon and his rider. It stopped and all of a sudden a voice was in his head not his but the dragon. It spoke,"Calm down it is me and my name is Firestar. We are now bonded for life. If you die I die and now we are bonded." It repeated to say they are bonded. The only thing Zerk could think to do was hug his dragon.
