Chapter 15
The Shadow of the Light
The party continued to walk towards the Dragon Spine mountains where the fourth member of the fearsome five, Zalim a dragon tamer, awaited. The two surrounding villages that took up the Dragon Spine mountains were each being devastated by the wrath of Zalim who learned how to tame both of the main dragons that lived there, the Frost and Inferno dragons. And each village only worshipped one of the two dragons supposedly that the dragon’s of each village drew their power from the Shrines on each side, the artifacts that gave the dragon’s their powers suddenly vanished one day. Everyone thought Zalim stole the artifacts since he knew how to tame both dragons but they were wrong the real culprit was Cravil. Cravil had the artifacts in his castle and was giving power to Zalim. At least that is what Dant told the group.
“Well Dant, how much closer are we to the Dragon Spine Mountains?” Torrado asked looking up at the roof of leaves.
“Umm... probably about a fifteen hour walk until we get there.” Dant said looking at the map.
“Well we still need two more stones for Torrado’s sword.” Farin said looking at the two empty slots on Torrado’s sword.
“I know I know...” Dant said not looking up from the map.
* * *
Further down the path a bright yellow dragon was floating meditating actually and this dragon was the dragon of light. It was suddenly disrupted by a strange tingling feeling and it dropped to the ground a scanned the area. And didn’t see anything out of the ordinary until a giant black blob appeared and threw out the last thing the light dragon wanted to see. The King Shadow Dragon. “Hello goody two shoes.” The Shadow Dragon snarled all three of its head glaring at the light dragon, “How is everything going?”
“Good… what do you want?” The light dragon asked keeping an eye on the shadow dragon, “You never come here unless you want some thing…”
“I can’t even stop in to say I to my brother?”
“Yes but you never do unless it is some master plot to make me evil and got onto Cravil’s side!”
“That’s sad… but… you’re right!” The shadow dragon then blasted three different balls of fire from each head and half way to the Light Dragon they combined and formed a giant multi-colored ball. It scored a direct hit on the only good dragon left. The light dragon collapsed to the ground out cold. “He he he… Too bad you didn’t join Cravil’s army when you had the chance, well now you can join!” The King Shadow Dragon lifted up a giant claw and a dark aura formed around it.
“Hey,” A familiar voice rang out through the forest.
“Great not you…” The Shadow Dragon turned and saw Torrado running from the bushes pulling out his sword.
“Great, now I have to deal with you!” The dragon turned form the weak light dragon to face Torrado. Torrado had a glare on his face that had confidence glare on his face that had confidence and seriousness. “You’ll be sorry for messing with me!” The dragon started to take flight and glared at Torrado. Farin and Ziyran then stepped out from behind Torrado holding their weapons. “Three? What happened to the rest of your little gang?”
“None of your business!” Torrado said grabbing his sword with two hands and jumping up into the air. Ziyran sent a big gust of wind up giving Torrado more air, Torrado dove down with his sword out and pressed in the fire stone. His sword burst into flames and he started spinning around making the flames form around Torrado creating a cocoon of flames. Torrado then stopped spinning and fell into the shadow dragon, the cocoon blew up and launched Torrado back towards Farin and Ziyran he did a back flip and landed perfectly.
“You’ve been practicing I see... When I first saw you were a puny human with a bronze sword.” The Dragon said giving an evil smile, “Unfortunately that wasn’t good enough!” The Dragon then blasted the three balls of his elemental fire at Torrado once again the three balls combined and formed a giant multi colored ball. Torrado braced himself and right before the fireball hit him he jumped up and stabbed his sword into the ball and did a front flip and released his blade from the fire ball and launched it back at the dragon. “Oh? Using my own power against me? You didn’t thought I hadn’t expected that? I knew that was going to happen so I made that certain fireball special. I put my shadow power that allows me to control people in it and look who is behind me all wounded.” The dragon turned and saw that the others were at the side of the light dragon healing him.
The fireball flew straight past the shadow dragon and hurtled towards the out cold light dragon. “Get out of the way!” Torrado yelled warning his friends. The others looked up and saw the giant ball hurtling towards them they quickly clambered up and jumped out of the way just before the monstrosity struck the light dragon. A giant explosion quickly followed after the light dragon got hit and he jumped up still shining but the eyes were blood red just like the other dragons.
“Sorry Torrado, we failed in healing the dragon...” Issl said running up next to him.
“HA! Now the light dragon belongs to Cravil’s side!” The Shadow dragon sneered. “You have failed in rescuing him and now he belongs to the Shadow Army!” The shadow dragon then busted out into an evil laugh.
The entire group got ready to fight the dragons of shadow and light. It was odd to see the two elements together even though they are complete opposites. “I say we destroy them now! Then Cravil won’t have to deal with them.” The light dragon said turning his red eyes to his counter part.
“I agree... this will be easy since they are puny weak beings.” The shadow dragon said smiling at the light dragon. The shadow dragon then turned his heads to face the party standing in front of the two dragons. The light dragon did the same. “Well this will be quick and easy and painless... for us anyway...”
The shadow dragon dove down at with one sharp claw. Torrado quickly jumped back did a back hand spring and landed back to a tree. The shadow dragon’s claw got stuck in the ground and Torrado took this opportunity to attack and ran at the shadow dragon forgetting that the light dragon was now evil. Right before Torrado hit the trapped shadow dragon the light dragon jumped over the shadow dragon and swept a claw at Torrado. Right before the claw hit Torrado he jumped back and blocked it and then launched some energy through his blade and out on the light dragon. The dragon launched back and crashed into a tree snapping it in half. Unfortunately that gave the Shadow dragon enough time to get his claw free and summon some back up.
“All of these dragons cheat!” Umky said flustered. Umky then ran at one of the shadow beings the shadow dragon summoned with her whip. She struck one with her whip and it froze, she then kicked it and the ice shattered and the shadow vanished. Farin launched a barrage of arrows towards the shadow dragon and its comrades the arrows successfully hit all the shadows she aimed for, but the shadow dragon used his giant ink black wing as a shield against her projectiles. Farin’s arrows bounced off harmlessly and landed on the ground.
The other shadows formed a giant circle around Dant, Ziyran and Kain. Kain was holding his knives ready to strike at any moment, that moment came five of the shadows jumped out of the outside ring and dove at Kain. Kain dodged the five attacks and then dove for them he did a roll when he hit the ground and kicked two of the shadows only stunning them and knocking them back in the circle. The other three were about to attack but he then rolled up into a hand stand and jumped up out of reach of the three shadows and threw his knives down successfully destroying them. Kain landed and picked up the knives stuck in the ground and smiled.
Ziyran and Dant looked at each other and gave each other a small smile, they had a move they practiced and they knew it was powerful enough to destroy half of the shadows that surrounded them. They nodded and they began the powerful move. Ziyran’s staff started to glow with a bright light and a giant multi-colored ball started to form. Dant ran up to Ziyran and jumped up on his shoulders and raised his pick axe above his head. Dant jumped up and came down and stuck his pick axe in the giant ball of energy Dant tightened up and became like a board. Ziyran jumped up and spun around and released the ball it started to spin rapidly and went into the group of shadows and bounced around destroying many of the shadows. Ziyran then jumped up and launched pillars of energy into the crowd of shadows. Ziyran landed and saw that Torrado and Farin were in trouble and he flew off towards them.
Issl and Umky were standing back to back with their weapons ready. Twenty shadows had appeared around them and were closing in. Issl ran in and changed into a giant dragon and crushed half the shadows with one sweep of her claw. The other shadows turned their attention to Issl-the-dragon and made a giant shadow portal appear under her then beams of shadow energy launched up form the portal and tied Issl-the-dragon down. The beams then started to glow a bright red and shocked Issl making her change back to normal and also knocking her out.
Umky saw out of the corner of her eye that her friend and fainted She fended off the last of the shadows around her and ran towards Issl she put her whip away and held out her hand sand made an ice path that stretched out of the giant crowd of shadows around them, she then dove on the ice path sliding down it and when she reached Issl she grabbed her and kept sliding. The shadows that were in the way of the path got rammed into when Umky Changed her form into a giant snowball. Once they were out of the crowd of shadows Umky changed back to normal and tried to awaken Issl.
The battle was just heating up where Farin, Ziyran and Torrado were. The two dragons of shadow and light two of the best known elements were blasting fireballs and sending rays of shadow and light energy toward the three. Unfortunately ever since the dragon of light was turned evil Torrado, Farin and Ziyran haven’t been able to launch a single attack the dragons kept them at bay launching their ranged attacks. They had to keep blocking or one of the balls of fire or one of the beams could hit them at any time if they weren’t careful. And if they were hit by one of the dragon’s super powerful attacks it’d mean they’d be goners and not be able to save Vetual.
“We need to find a way to get in and attack them! One of us has to try!” Torrado said fending of fireballs and beams. His teeth were grinding out of stress.
“How? If we stop attacking, we’ll be dead for sure!” Farin asked waving her hand sin different directions to block the beams and fireballs.
“Farin’s got you there bud,” Ziyran said keeping his blue force field charged. Torrado didn’t say a word instead he stepped back a bit and he was stopped by the trunk of a tree. Torrado had an idea to dodge the attacks and get close enough to get an attack in on the dragons.
Torrado put one foot on the trunk when he saw a fireball closing in on him he stopped blocking and jumped back putting his second foot on the tree and when the fireball got a few inches away from Torrado he jumped off the tree and aimed his sword down at an angle making the fireball ricochet off it and hit the ground the fireball made a huge explosion and Torrado was launched up into the air at an arch Torrado’s plan had worked. He flew down at the dragons and with one sweep of his sword he stopped the barrage of attacks. Freeing Farin and Ziyran form their protective status.
“Nice one Torrado!” Farin squealed running up next to Torrado.
“Man you got some brains!” Ziyran said letting his force field fad and dodging one last beam of shadow energy. Ziyran then ran up next to Torrado too.
“Yes, very clever!” The shadow dragon said getting up. “He he he… I should’ve expected that from Torrado… but I didn’t and that is what got me into this predicament.” The Shadow dragon was now standing on all fours. “No one says I’m down and out yet though…” Torrado, Farin and Ziyran got their weapons ready. “Pitiful weapons can’t help you now!” The Shadow Dragon said his red eyes looking more evil than before. The Shadow dragon let out a roar and the light dragon rose and glared at Torrado and his group. Then the shadows that were attacking Dant, Kain, Umky and Issl stopped and started running towards the shadow and light dragons. The four ran up and stood behind Torrado, Farin and Ziyran.
All the shadows just turned into dark energy beams and flew into the shadow dragon making him grow bigger and bigger. The light dragon smirked and jumped up and flew right into the shadow dragon there was then a giant bright flashing light that made the party cover their eyes. When the light faded shock struck the group as they saw what had happened. Standing before them was a giant three-headed dragon that was a bright yellow color but surrounding it was a dark aura that almost looked like flames. The heads were huge every second eye was a blood red color while the others were a light blue color but the light blue colored eyes were blood-shot. The rough body was covered in hard rock solid scales that shone a sinister black. There were two sets of wings that were a gray color with sharp scales on the rim of them. They were also very bulky and looked as though one wave and they could destroy a town.
“BWUHAHAHAHA! You pests like my ultimate form?” The ultimate shadow dragon sneered.
“I actually think it’s quite ugly!” Ziyran said glaring up at the dragon his staff ready to cast spell.
“We’ll see whose ‘ugly’ after I’m done with you!” The ultimate dragon said rising off the ground. “So who shall die first?”
“None of us but you will!” Torrado said readying his sword.
“How heroic… but you might as well give up, this form is unbeatable. But if you wish to suffer a most humiliating defeat, then we shall fight…” The ultimate dragon said smiling showing his crooked yellow teeth.
Torrado didn’t want to listen to another word of the dragon bragging about himself so he leapt into action un-sheathing his sword. The Dragon saw this coming and flew backwards dodging Torrado’s sword. Torrado landed on the ground and quickly retaliated with another lunge. The dragon dodged it again and Torrado crashed into a tree he fell to the ground with a thud. “You’re tries are useless child! Just give up!” The dragon taunted. Torrado stood up shakily and turned to the dragon for another attack. The dragon laughed and then a giant fireball blasted the dragon in the back of the middle head. The dragon turned and saw Ziyran holding out his staff, smoke was floating off of it. Then Torrado slashed down on the back of the dragon making him launch forward.
Dant ran towards the fallen dragon with his pick axe out to his side when he came up to the dragon he jumped up and came down on one of its heads. Issl ran into the battle too with her arm blades ready. Kain also ran into the action his knives glistening in the weak sun light. Umky pulled out her whip and also ran into the action. Farin stood next to Ziyran launching her arrows and Ziyran was launching multiple spells.
“Gargh!” The dragon said using his wings as barricades to block the many attacks. “I can’t be beaten by puny insects like you!” The dragon snarled. He flapped his wings open with such force that everyone near the dragon got knocked back. Dant shot back and crashed to the ground knocking him unconscious and completely un-protected. Issl, Kain and Umky shot back crashing into one another mid-flight. Knocking them unconscious. Torrado was launched back but right before he it the ground he retaliated and landing on his feet. Ziyran and Farin blocked he giant gust of wind by calling their shields up. “He he he... Looks like your friends have fallen...” The dragon smiled at his handy work.
“You still have us to deal with!” Torrado said pointing at him, Ziyran and Farin.
“So? That’ll be easy!” The dragon got ready to fight. Torrado ran in first followed by Ziyran and then Farin. Ziyran flew straight up to the dragon’s face and launched a smoke screen spell to blind the beast’s eyes. Farin then launched a barrage of arrows at the dragon’s heads. Torrado sprinted towards the dragon and slashed the dragon across the chest knocking him to the ground. Torrado did a front flip and landed on the dragons middle head Ziyran flew down and landed near the right head and Farin ran up and jumped on the dragon near the left head. The dragon opened his eyes and saw Torrado, Farin and Ziyran ready to launch the final blow.
“You... lose...” Torrado said and lifted his sword above his head and come down on the middle head of the dragon. Farin launched five arrows in to the left head and Ziyran blasted the right head with a giant fire spell. The dragon fell limp and laid there and slowly started to fade. Finally he completely faded and Torrado, Farin and Ziyran fell to the ground. Suddenly a bright flash lit up the area. After the flash faded standing near Torrado, Farin and Ziyran was the light dragon.
“Thanks for defeating me and my brother... I believe these are for you young swordsman.” The light dragon held out his two hands and in them were the last two stones for Torrado’s mithiril sword. Torrado took them and put them in the right place.
“Thanks...” Torrado said looking at his completed sword.
“Beat Cravil for me and free this world from darkness’s grip.” The light dragon said and with another brilliant flash he was gone.
“We’re almost to Dragonspine Mountains...” Dant said from behind the three. They turned and saw Dant slowly getting up.
“Yep, let’s get this Fearsome Five goon.” Issl and Kain said at the same time.
“Yep, let’s beat these sinister people.” Umky said standing up smiling.
“Just through these trees and we’ll be there... But we’ll need to split up once we get there... There are two villages and each is blaming one another for stealing their artifacts... I fear we are going to have to stop a war between the clans.” Dant said.
“Whatever it takes we’ll do it.” Torrado said starting off into the forest. The others ran and caught up with him.
