Dragon slayer: Blood dragon

Chapter 4

The arrow flew like a missile. The figure didn't even flinch when Tom shot.  The figure threw something towards Tom. It froze just before he was going to be hit. Tom was frozen still from fear while Sam just stood there Jaw-dropped. After the thrown sword went back Sam, Tom and Sharlon headed towards the figure. When Tom saw who it was he knew he made a mistake. "Sorry about that" Tom said with his head down. "It's okay" said the spirit of the swords with his deep, booming voice. The spirit of the swords was tall, muscled, bright and colourful. He had amber eyes, electric-blue hair and a Brown torso. "Call me Sots" He continued. "So, what are you doing here Sots?" Sam asked curiously. "I was actually looking for you, I heard that the Blood dragon is nearly free from it's chains" Sots answered. He had heard it from King Shalo. It seemed like King Shalo had told everyone in the kingdom who had only a little bit of power.

"Who's this little fella?" Sots asked. "He's my pet Baylo eagle, Sharlon" Sam replied. "Wow, I've heard about them but I've never seen on in my whole life" Sots continued. He went to stroke Sharlon but he got squawked at. "Why are his wings gold?" Sots asked again. "Apparently the more a Baylo eagle trains, the more of a valuable metal it's wings become but the torso stays the silver colour" Sam explained. "If you want to know if it's an alloy or pure then just light rub your fingers across the edge, now Sharlon don't peck squawk or anything" Sam suggested to Sots but demanded to Sharlon. Sots ran his fingers across Sharlon's wing and was surprised to find out that was an alloy. "An alloy!" He exclaimed. "How did you know?" He continued. "I've known for ages but it comes in useful if were fighting something" Sam explained. "We got in a fight with Hagor Jr and it shot it's boiling blood at Sharlon but luckily he dodged it" He continued'

After twenty more minutes of talking they headed of to Sots's underground base. Only a few warriors in all of Aconia's history have been in Sots's base. It was big. Larger than Jayle's forgery in fact. It was full of blues, reds, yellows, greens and purples. The only colour that it didn't have was black. "This is my underground base, only five warriors before you have been in here, you're quite lucky to be the sixth and seventh warriors to be here" Sots proudly announced. "Who else has been in here?" Tom asked with glee. He was annoyed since he was feeling left out but nce he was in that room he lit up again. Seven minutes later they headed even further underground. Both Sam and Tom were very confused. "Where are we heading Sots?" Tom asked. "You'll see" Sots said confidently.

They reached they bottom where they saw some weird stone lock thing. Sots pressed in what seemed to be a code when all of a sudden the hallway started to shake. Sharlon thought it was that stone dog creature again and posed ready to fly at supersonic speed. A few steps forward they saw a large arena like room. Blue flame torches lit up the room. Each torch only had a two tile gap between each other so it was lit up very well. "Woah" Sam said an awe. Sharlon squawked with excitment. Tom couldn't help himself, he ran around the rim multiple times, Sharlon following him around. All Sam and Sots could do was burst into laughter. Tom and Sharlon were just acting like little kids. Sam started to tear up as it reminded him of his childhood with Tom before Aconia's fate went downhill all of a sudden.

If he couldn't save Aconia, would it be the last time he saw this place? By the time Tom and Sharlon had finished they both fell to the floor out of breath. That got another chuckle out of the two before Sam picked up Sharlon and Sots picked up Tom. "So what's next?" Tom asked, panting for air. "Actually I was gonna help you with your Swordsmanship  and  and aiming with bow and arrows" Sots explained. That Tom even more excited and his cheeks went a pinkish-red colour. "But before we do, you two do Rock, paper, scissors to see who goesfirst" Sots continued. Sam won the game. After two minutes Tom and Sots were at the viewing platform. "Right Sam, first up is the grassland troll" Sots explained from above. It took Sam 12 minutes to defeat it, then 7 minutes to beat a Babon blue bear,  15 to beat a swarm of Zamon Hawks, 8 Minutes to beat the large tentacle and so on and so forth.

"Right Tom, your turn" Sots briefly mentioned. Tom was shock. "Really, after that performance?"Tom said nervously. Sots did nothing but nod his head. Five minutes later Sam got to the viewing platform. "Come on Tom you can do this!" Sam shouted from the platform. Tom took a bit longer to defeat all the creatures he was tasked than Sam but Sam didn't have to run and aim as much, he just had to slash. "Right Tom, your next creature is Hagor Jr" Sots explained. "WHAT? are you joking? WE couldn't  kill Hagor Jr together, it's too quick" Sam yelled. "Tom, if he's making you fight Hagor Jr even if just a clone then I'm doing it with you!" He continued. He then juped over the guard and Sharlon flew down with him. It took over 15 minutes to kill the clone. Sharlon managed to blind Hagor Jr at the start by pecking at the eyes and Tom managed to land a few arrows into the wings. It was then that Tom noticed the wounds were healing back up. Sam had noticed too.

"Tom, Sharlon, blind him and I'll do the rest" Sam instructed. Tom shot two arrows towards they eyes. One hit, the other missed. Sharlon crashed into Hagor Jr and pecked at the other eye. Hagor Jr was circling while roaring. It was just then that Sam ran up the wall, jumped off and impaled Hagor Jr through the head. Hagor Jr fell to the ground as fast as Sam did. "When did you learn to do that?" Sam exclaimed in shock. "I run up trees and jump of them as warm up before hunting" Sam answered. It was just then that Sots came into the arena room. "Well done you three" He said proudly. It was reaching night time when Sots said this. "Sam give me your sword for a minute will you?" He asked. Sam handed his sword over to Sots, slightly confused. It was then that that Sots's third eye in his chest started to glow and the sword started to levitate and the Ruby eye started to glow. Sots spread out his arms, then blue beams of light headed to the eye.

"What  did you do" Sam asked. "I just gave some of my power" Sots announced. Sam was over the moon while Tom was looking jealous. After that they all went to rest for the night. Sam was struggling to sleep when he whispered to Tom "Hey, I can't sleep, can you?". Tom wasn't asleep either and shook his head. "Did you notice that door at the very back of the arena?" Tom whispered back. "No that's what's keeping me awake" Sam replied. They both got out of their beds very quietly and headed to the door. They noticed that there was another coded lock. Sam held his sword and the eye glowed and unlocked the door. It was yet another long passage way. It took they five minutes to walk down it. Once they got to the bottom they noticed a scroll. "What does it say?" Tom asked. It was then Sam went to read it.

"One time in Aconia, 200 years ago there were a group of People called the dragon masters. These people went against the way that Aconia was ruled. Over the next 50 years there were wars between the divisions of the dragon masters and they Aconian army. In the end of the 50 year wars the dragon masters were defeated. All but 1 were beheaded for treason. The last one spent years mastering all of the dragons. The last one became immortal. 200 years after the original group was formed the original master will come back and rule over all of Aconia. The master is-" It read before Sam and Tom heard something from behind them.
