SNEAK PEEK
My heart skipped a beat at the horrible thought of their plan; of having this city as their entire trap and we walked right into it.
“If they did set us up, we need to get everyone else out of here. This is going to be a bloodbath.” Yllor’s voice went deep with despair. “Syrylas, land us somewhere safe.” He ordered and the dragon obediently followed, flying us over to a now-burnt house.
“Okay. I have a plan.” Andros slid off Syrylas’ back and Solstice followed him. Andros carefully took us down. I watched Yllor talk to the lady-dragon in whispers.
“Alright! Hear me out.” He left the dragon and Syrylas stood to keep watch.
“We need to get everyone out of this city.” He said, pointing at the warriors fighting against the human soldiers with swords, guns, bows and arrows. Some were charging the other side, flanking people with spears and I remained frozen in my feet, watching the battle at the center of the city.
“Andros, find your friends. Solstice, ride Syrylas together with Krian. Try and defend anyone from above. Warn the warriors to not push the fight and retreat. Do your best to tell them this is all planned out by the humans.”
“How about you?”” Solstice asked this time.
He faced the dragon standing proud in the city with its scale blackening and running with dark liquid from all the attacks he had taken. I began to think that the dark liquid running from his chest and from his mouth were blood but I was shaken by Solstice to focus.
The dwarf faced the center of the city and pointed at Rakonyr’s gargantuan height.
“I will take care of Rakonyr. He cannot let his anger get the best of him. He wants retribution for the betrayal of humankind to us but I do not want the innocent to get sacrificed for this hate. I will tell him to leave the city and we will never return here.”
