Hidden

Chapter 109

Zevar looked over the horizon with a fast beating heart. Black ashes flared through the sky as the reborn army marched towards the academy, red eyes glaring with hatred. The white dragon felt his heart soar with excitment for battle, a loud thundering roar echoing from his throat, the sound ripping though the sky. Many heads turned to look at the giant dragon, but was quickly returned to the battle as the reborns simultaneously cried out themselves.

Zevar launched himself out of the academy and straight over the wall that separated them from the dark army, his grey eyes shining as his claws extended out to capture an unsuspecting creature. A reborn screeched as the white dragons claws punctured the body and lifted up in the air, only to be thrown back down with a sick crunch a few seconds later.

With a huff of pride, Zevar turned around and headed back to the academy, where he would find the headmaster and begin the attack. It took mere seconds to reach the tall building with his flying speed, however descending the sky was still a bit difficult because of all of the humans and dragons crowding the ground below him. As soon as he managed to get all six legs safely planted on the ground, Zevar had his eyes open for the headmaster or any of his own previous companions.

Comet had perched himself on the edge of the wall and waited for his rider to appear, but when he saw the white dragon attacking the reborn army, heat flared up in his body. The silver dragon itched for a good fight against the growing army despite their front lines a good mile away. Yet as Zevar had completely shattered all the bones of a small reborn and began to fly back, Comet had felt something shift in the air.

There was a larger, more ferocious creature in the army that seemed more composed than its surrounding reborns. With a long alligator-like jaw filled with many dull and razor teeth, Latharius gave Comet a glare from his position in the large army, his jaw opening to release a call of attack. His surrounding army joined his call and began charging forward, causing dragons from the academy to fly over the wall and use their elemental breath to slow their approach.

Comet sighed, stretching his limbs before carefully standing on the top of the wall. The structure didn't leave him with much room to move for a dragon his size, but he managed to also launch himself off the edge and barrel towards the reborn army with blood boiling. The massive silver dragon opened his jaw and felt the magic flow straight through his neck, a swirl of black and white flame stream onto the reborns.

With the combo of dark and light magic used on the reborns, their body was instantly melted like acid had touched them. Some reborns however shook off the magic attack and swiped their claws up, attempting to reach the flying dragon. These reborns seemed to be stronger than normal, and as Comet closed his attack and prepared to turn around he saw that the army was very well organized. The reborns near the back and closer to Latharius had seemingly better defence and attributes, such as wings and spikes that would do much more damage than the reborns near the front.

Comet took special care in avoiding the reborns attacks, along with other incoming dragons that we're also attacking. The other scaly beasts seemed to realize that they had a high chance of colliding with each other, so they had to make sure to steer clear of one another. With one more loop, Comet had began to fly back to the academy, where he would pick up his awaiting rider and continue the fight. The plan was to get Zevar as close to Latharius as possible without reborns approaching, which would prove as a huge challenge.

Back at the academy, Noah could feel his heart pound in his head. He could feel the evil the reborns eminated from the other side of the wall, and after seeing one tower over his six foot stature, he knew that these things would only grow worse the more he saw.

David patted Noah's shoulder With reassurance, his bright blue eyes shining with determination. "Hey pal, try not to think about them too much, they will cloud you mind."
