Dragon Rider - Chapter 4


"Dragon Rider"

Chapter 4


     There was no time to rest. Ruby and I immediately went to Saint Morning. We were both surprised by what we saw when we got there. With the help of the rain and darkness, Saint Morning became like a battlefield. Only a few houses remained standing. The whole place was really burned down to the ground. It was then when I knew why the people of Saint Morning hated Draco all of a sudden. I knew Draco didn't have anything to do with whatever happened to Saint Morning though. If he ever happens to be the one who did it, he'd fight back and turn all of the people attacking him into barbecues. But he didn't. Ruby and I hid behind a burnt house. From there, we could see Draco being beaten up mercilessly. He looked like he was gonna die already. The rain kept on washing away Draco's blood creating what seemed like a crimson river beneath him. We couldn't do anything. It was soul-shattering just watching him being battered. I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to go there and... I don't know. I couldn't just watch him being battered. Come what may.

     When I was about to make a step, a group of men suddenly showed up from nowhere. They were rushing towards the crowd shouting, "HELP!" They told the people that at that very moment, Flaris was being attacked by a dragon. Everyone got surprised (including Ruby and I). Knowing I was no longer public enemy number two, I pranced my way up to them like a (retarded) b*st*rd. They couldn't look at me (Bwahaha!). It was like "pay back time." I wanted so much to shoot arrows into their brains. Silenced, the acting leader walked up to me and said, "Let's talk about this later. For now, we have to go to Flaris immediately." I just nodded. Everyone then got on their boards and rushed their way to Flaris. Some of the ringmasters stayed behind and tried to heal Draco. I got healed by some of them too. I recovered immediately. Draco got us worried though. He looked like he wasn't getting any better.

     The ringmasters assured us Draco was gonna be okay though. Ruby and I then went to Flaris. Luckily, it was raining. The dragon's fire didn't do much damage. Flaris was still like Flaris. We wasted no time and immediately helped in getting rid of the dragon. As I got closer to it, I noticed someone was riding the dragon. There was a man on the dragon's back. Knowing he was controlling the dragon, I kept on shooting well-aimed arrows at him. The dragon was just too fast though. I couldn't hit it or the man riding it. The battle went on for hours. Some parts of Flaris got demolished because of the fight with the dragon. People would go crashing down like hail (not hell... lol). We were losing the battle. With just an arrow left, I tried to aim for the man riding the dragon but what I shot was the dragon's left leg instead. It got furious and looked at me with its horrifying eyes. Surprised, I got stunned and wasn't able to do anything as it was charging unto me. When it was just about eight meters away from me, I got lucky. Draco came just in time and rammed the dragon which was about to make me its next meal (man, was I happy to see Draco). Draco then breathed fire unto the other dragon and was able to hit it. Unfortunately, it didn't do much because of the rain. For some reason, we were suddenly out of the fight. It became a one-on-one battle between Draco and the other dragon. I took advantage of the opportunity and was able to get an arrow box from one of the fallen rangers.
