Shield
The thick smoke filled the cold stone room. Kaelen Draven walked forward with a cruel smile on his face. The blue light from his sword cut through the dark dust. Three elite commanders stood behind him in heavy silver armor. They raised their long weapons and aimed straight at Luca. The false god wanted the dragon dead. Kaelen wanted the glory for himself.Luca stood his ground. His injured leg burned with sharp pain but he refused to show weakness. He pushed Amelia behind a thick stone pillar to keep her safe. The young scholar clutched her leather bag and held her breath.Elias Thorne rose to his feet. The ancient general was free from the dark curse. He wore broken armor and his muscles ached from a thousand years of pain. But his dark eyes were sharp and clear. He stepped in front of his king to form a living wall."You will not touch him," Elias said. His voice was rough like grinding stones.Kaelen laughed loud and pointed his glowing blade at the tall warrior. "The mad beast sp
Voice of the King
The cold hands of the cursed general squeezed the neck of Luca. The grip felt like solid iron. Purple fire burned bright inside the wild eyes of Elias Thorne. The old warrior did not see his king anymore. He saw a strange target to destroy. Luca grabbed the thick wrists of his friend. He tried to pull the deadly hands away from his throat. His injured leg gave out and he dropped to his knees. Elias fell with him but never let go. The heavy metal chains rattled loud in the dark room.Amelia screamed loud and rushed forward into the shadows. She raised her small sharp rock high to strike the tall monster. She wanted to save the young man she trusted. Luca saw her move and gasped for air. He forced his dry mouth to form words. He told her to step back and stay safe. He commanded her not to hurt the broken man. Amelia stopped running and lowered her pale hand. She looked terrified but she listened to his clear warning. She stepped back against the smooth black stone wall and watched the t
Deep Vault
The cold air rushed past his face. Luca held Amelia tight against his chest as they fell into the dark void. The drop felt like a long nightmare with no bottom. He wrapped his body around her to shield her from the sharp stones. His injured left leg throbbed with a dull and heavy pain. He closed his eyes and braced for a hard impact. The ground rushed up to meet them with brutal force.They hit a slope of soft dirt and slid down into a wide stone chamber. Dust flew into the dark air. Luca rolled onto his back and groaned. His bones ached but nothing felt broken. He let go of Amelia so she could sit up. She coughed and wiped the thick wet mud from her pale face. The heavy rain from the forest above did not reach this deep place. It was dry and smelled like ancient dust."Are you hurt?" Luca asked in a very low whisper.Amelia shook her head and reached into her leather bag. "I am fine," she said. "But your leg is bleeding."She pulled out a small piece of clean cloth and tied it tight
Mud
The cold mud soaked through his torn shirt. Luca stared up at the man standing above them. Kaelen Draven smiled a very dark and twisted smile. The silver sword in his hand glowed with a faint blue light in the deep trench. Rain began to fall from the black sky above. The cold drops washed the thick dirt from the dark boots of the inquisitor. He had not come with the three heavenly commanders. He had tracked them on his own. He wanted the glory of killing the dragon for himself. Luca pushed Amelia behind him and stood up.Kaelen stepped forward and raised his weapon high. He did not speak a single word to them. He just swung the heavy blade down at the neck of Luca. Luca leaned back and dodged the sharp metal. The sword smashed into the muddy wall of the deep ravine. Dirt and wet rocks flew into the cold air. Luca used this small opening to attack. He lunged forward and drove his fist into the chest of Kaelen. The force of the punch made a loud cracking sound. Kaelen stumbled backward
Luca
The razor sharp teeth of the dragon hound clamped down on Luca's right arm. Pain flared through his veins like hot liquid metal. He gritted his teeth to keep from screaming out loud. The beast shook its massive head side to side, trying to tear his limb right off his body. Its heavy weight pinned him against the cold, damp cave floor. Luca could smell the foul odor of rot and burning acid coming from its open mouth. He used his left hand to grip the furry neck of the monster, pushing its snapping jaws away from his throat.Amelia cried out in terror. She scrambled around in the pitch black space, her hands desperately searching the ground for a weapon. She found a sharp piece of broken rock and lunged forward without hesitation. She slammed the stone into the ribs of the hound. The beast let out a sharp yelp of pain but did not release Luca's bleeding arm. Its yellow eyes glowed brighter in the dark, filled with pure malice. It was a creature created by the magic of Dominic Kane, buil
Traitor in the light
The harsh bright spotlights blinded Luca. He squinted against the fierce glare. Reuben stood in the center of the beam. His hand gripped Amelia by her neck. She struggled but his hold was tight. Heavy boots marched toward them from all sides. The elite heavenly guards wore silver armor that shined in the night. They carried long spears pointing straight at Luca. The trap was perfect. Reuben had played them from the start. Luca felt a deep rumble in his chest. His dragon core pulsed with hot anger. He looked at the man."Why did you do this Reuben?" Luca asked. His voice was low and calm. Reuben laughed. The sound was sharp. "Dominic Kane offers great rewards for the false sovereign," Reuben said. "I am just a poor scholar. I want power and gold. You are my ticket to a better life." Amelia kicked at his shins. "You are a coward," she spat. Reuben tightened his grip on her throat. She gasped for air. Luca took a step forward. The guards raised their spears higher. "Do not move," a guard
