Battlefield

(Jimin's POV)

I'd never seen anything like it. Not in all my years of being alive, they sure didn't teach us about this kind of thing. I don't even recall any of the fathers covering this when they would take us on travels with them. It was... other-worldly.

The Berserker was distracted with its desire to destroy those of us below it. It kept circling like a hawk just waiting for the perfect moment to strike at it's prey. We were the prey, and it wasn't looking good for us. Our soldiers were falling, doing all they could to protect myself and my brothers against the flames of the dragon above us. Some of our men who shifted to get rid of the other dragons in the sky were keeping their distance from it. They knew getting too close would only set the dragon off more, and that could mean the end for all of us.

My eyes caught sight of something orange and shimmering in the light of the morning suns. I looked up toward the gate and there she was in all her glory. A beautifully orange scaled dragon with yellow and bits of red scattered along her tail. She was shimmering, and her wings looked a lot larger than the Berserker's own wings. She flew close, but not too close. I watched as the Berserker seemed to ignore her and toss down more flaming fireballs at us. I looked for Hoseok and found him staring up at the pretty Dragon.

He pulled his eyes down and looked at me before hurrying over, stabbing his sword into a distracted rebel who was also caught up by the shimmering beauty of the dragon. Hoseok ran up and put his hand on my shoulder.

"It's Sapphire, she... She can't take that thing on her own Jimin. Can you?" He asked, not fully.. but I knew what he was asking me. And as usual all I could do was nod and look around for a place to run to. Hoseok helped clear a path, we passed by Jungkook and Yoongi who got what we were doing and both helped out. The two tossing a few rebels around like they were nothing. Despite Yoongi's smaller size like me.. he was very strong and agile. I wanted to be like him, strong like him. If I could help Sapphire maybe I'd prove my worth, part of me knew it was stupid. I knew I was fine the way I was but... there's a part of me that always feels weak. Feels like nothing..

"I can do it. I can help her." I said quickly. "I think I can fly up there and help I'm sure I can."

"Are you sure? Brother I know you're still not fully healed. Are you sure you can fly?" Hoseok asked, a look of concern on his face.

"Yes. Yeah.. I promise, I'm good." I replied. Maybe I wasn't fully healed, but I was determined to help her.

"If you're sure." Hoseok looked hesitant but behind that look he was relieved, I could feel it. I nodded to him reassuringly and he gave me a nod in return as he backed away from me so I could shift.

"Just make sure to stop any others from shifting!" I yelled to him as I was engulfed in the purple light, my body reforming as I sat back in my mind and let my dragon take control for a bit.

I looked down as I was lifted into the air, I could see Hoseok running back into the fight, sword swinging at a rebel who knocked down one of the soldiers. I had to focus though, I needed to help Sapphire.

With that in my mind I watched from the back of my mind as my dragon flew higher, my wing wasn't fully healed but I was able to still fly up to and over to the mountain side where I could watch out for Sapphire. We made eye contact and she had a brief look of worry in her eyes.

"Jimin? You shouldn't be here." Her voice rang through my mind and I had to laugh.

"Oh, it's me who shouldn't be here? Me, the one who's been trained for years in various ways of combat... while you, the newbie flies off to her own death?" I asked her with a bit of attitude. She scoffed and huffed a bit.
