Fireball

Merciless Attack At Home

As they crested the wall, Fireball gasped. His community looked like it was hit by an explosion. There were fires everywhere. There was so much damage and destruction, it looked irreparable. What happened wondered Fireball. Amos looked on in disbelief. He was horrified. There were dead dragons on the ground and wizards. Dead friends thought Fireball and how did wizards get inside the walls.

"What happened?" said Fireball, loudly.

Amos shook his head. "I think Marcello's friends beat us here. Although your spell blocked wizards from seeing your community, I'm guessing Marcello's wand was more powerful and they tracked it here."

No sooner had Amos finished talking, a spell came at him and he blocked it. A second spell soared toward them but this time Fireball flew into its path to block it. Now under fire Amos wasted no time in returning fire. He took out the two wizards at the source but they were replaced by more enemies coming forward. Fireball flew toward his home. Was his mother okay, he wondered? Was Kaida okay? He had to find them. Wizards fired spells at him, but they all missed as he was flying too fast.

Reaching his family cave, Fireball found his mother and Dardon. Dardon did not look good. They had been attacked and the elder dragon was mortally wounded. Malvina limped over to hug her son. She had taken out a few dragons, but her leg was badly injured during the battle. The two sat by Dardon until his eyes closed. Fireball looked at his mother. He had to find Kaida, but first he made his mother promise she would not leave the cave until he returned.

Just outside his cave, Fireball saw a large dragon slumped over. He went over to see who it was and to see if they were okay. Reaching the dragon he realized it was his friend Drake. Calling to him, Drake moved slowly, pushing himself up so he could lean on some boulders and turn his body enough to see Fireball. The dragon was hurt very bad, but managed a smile, happy to see Fireball. He explained both of his wings were badly damaged making it near impossible to fly.

Fireball helped Drake into his family cave, then headed back out in search of Kaida. After passing several dead wizards and a couple dead dragons, Fireball saw Endrik. Why was he in their community he wondered. Then he saw Elyse. She was holding something. As he neared the two the little dragon saw Elyse was holding a wizard. The wizard looked barely alive. Elyse had tears streaming down her face as she stretched the wizards body and he cried out in agony. It was not until Fireball stopped right in front of his friends that he saw everything. Elyse held a wizard and Endrik held Kaida. She was not moving.

"What happened?" Fireball cried out, as tears were already welled up in his eyes. "Is Kaida okay?"
