The Knights of the New World marched through the forest. They wanted to rest after a long trip. They caught fire and ate. They were going to sleep. But then they heard a roar. This roar was so severe and eerie that the campfire was extinguished, the horses went mad out of fear, and the tree leaves began to fly. The only thing that illuminated the darkness was the moonlight. Faelyn and the others thought it was an animal until they noticed what was flying in the sky. It was a dragon. Hellfire and Vaermina were bemused. They armed themselves and formed a circle. The Dragon Zindiss was circling and roaring in the sky. He took a deep breath and he sprayed flame for burn the forest. The trees were burning. Others, except Hellfire, had trouble breathing. Oxygen was getting dirty because of the burning trees. Zindiss's laughter echoed across the sky. Hellfire came up with a solution to that. He raised his hands in the air and began to focus. He started absorbing all the flames out of the woods. Maybe the dragon was strong, but Hellfire couldn't let his friends die. Hellfire's hands were red when the whole forest went out. The temperature seemed to hurt him too. He gathered all his strength and hurled a huge fireball towards the dragon.

The fireball hit the Dragon's left-wing. The stunned dragon in the sky lost his control and fell into the forest. Faelyn and the others ran towards the dragon. The Knights passed through the trees and reached the dragon. They held their weapons firmly. They were against an enemy they had never fought before. A dragon! Even if they tried to hide it was obvious they were scared. Faelyn saw Vaermina's trembling hands, he blinked at the girl and said, "Everything will be fine." Vaermina frowned upon checking her tremor. They were looking at the dragon. At the time, the Dragon lifted his head and roared. The sound of his breathing was high enough to be heard. When they viewed with caution, they saw the dragon's stamps. The dragon roar was frightening. His eyes resembled a snake. Zindiss started looking at his enemies. Then he started talking.

"Fools! I, Zindiss, World Eater! Kneel before me, mortals!.." The New World Knights looked at each other first. Then, Faelyn stepped forward. "You obey me, or taste my sword!" Zindiss started laughing. After a roar to start the battle, he sprayed the fire he had accumulated in his throat towards Faelyn. Faelyn said in a determined and angry voice, "You wanted this, creature!" Hellfire got in front of Faelyn and started absorbing the fire coming towards him with his hands. "It's my turn!" Hellfire repelled the fire he absorbed into Zindiss. The dragon could not see the inside of the fire even if it was unaffected. Hellfire was hidden among the fires and running towards the dragon. The dragon had spotted Hellfire at the last moment. Zindiss felt a great warmth in his chest. Hellfire had hit the dragon with his bump. With serial fist bumps the Dragon lingered. Vaermina threw her daggers at him. The dragon was unable to do anything against the hard knocks of this duo. He got angry. He hit Vaermina with his tail. Vaermina fell to the ground and rolled. He tried to bite Hellfire but the man in the flames was too quick. The dragon was drowning in roars. The Knights retreated. Faelyn and Ariel were preparing for their attack. At that moment, a shadow slowly creeping through the trees approached. This was the power of the Alwis and Dralgath. The darkness surrounded the Dragon and healed his wounded wing. The dragon was stronger. His roar echoed across the sky and he took off again. Ariel and Faelyn were surprised at what they were going to do. Then Faelyn had an idea. "Xelrath, it's your turn."

Xelrath's snake form appeared on Faelyn's shoulder. The dragon in the sky began to accumulate fire in his throat. Xelrath gave up his snake form and wanted to do something he hadn't tried before. The little snake began to wing as it rose towards the sky. His torso thickened and his horns came out. Xelrath had become a dragon!

The two dragons began fighting in the sky. Theyroared at each other first, then tried to drop each other with their wings.Zindiss prepared to repel his breath from the fire. He took a deep breath.Xelrath acted quickly and bit Zindiss's swollen throat. As Zindiss writhed inthe sky in pain, Xelrath went even higher. He disappeared among the clouds, andafter a while he crept down in full swing. Xelrath hit the suffering dragon inthe sky and dragged him to the ground. Zindiss was defeated. Xelrath returnedto Faelyn. Faelyn took off his sword and went to Zindiss. The dragon was barelybreathing. He stuck his sword in the Dragon's wounded throat and ended hislife. Staring at each other with the joy of victory, The New World Knightsnoticed five people coming towards them. These were the Alwis and the AncientOnes. The real war was just beginning.
