Part 10 The Vordran's Battle
Dragoune was dreaming of Saneira, they were not in the caves but at the beach where they became one. Saneira was about to say yes to his question when it was cut and everything went black for a while. Next thing he knew he was at a battle field in a city that looked familiar, but he could not tell because everything was bleary. He saw someone coming at him with a spear so he dodged it and blew fire, but none came out and the spear furry did not even take a second look.
'Stupid this is a dream!! You can't hurt.' he thought to himself. He looked around and saw that there was a clearer area towards one of the gates, so he decided to go there. The longer he stayed in this dream the more he felt that it was real. He finally reached the spot and saw Saneira with a few of the Vordran furries. The king's army came in numbers greatly than the Vordran and even with Saneira's abilities the number was too much. Soon she was the only one standing and badly injured, and then suddenly Dragoune heard his own roar and he looked up and saw himself coming to Saneira's aid. While the dream-Dragoune was fighting the rest, the real Dragoune saw Saneira fall to the ground.
Dragoune woke up blew fire and grapped his sword. When the fire hit the rock wall it melted it. Dragoune looked around and saw that he was back in the caves, in his room, with Saneira safe and sound. Dragoune thought about the dream-no wait....the vision, because it felt so real nothing like he ever saw in his dreams. Dragoune then looked at Saneira and could not keep a straight face. He then started admiring her beautiful shining gray scales that matched perfectly with her blue eyes. Her horns teeth and claws were perfectly white to him. He loved how slender and quick she was, like a huntress and her prey was the enemy. He then rubbed her under belly and side.
Saneira purred from the attention and woke up to see those green eyes looking into hers lovingly. She smiled at him and started rubbing his chest as well. She loved the mucles that were underneath his gray scales. But she loved even more was his wings, she loved to fly with him when he carried her in his arms. She even liked on the scar on his tail because it showed him what he truly was a very strong warrior. After a time of this attention while kissing a few times and I love yous, Saneira felt that two things were bothering Dragoune. One was new to her, but the other was familiar that same old revenge.
'But Dragoune killed Graxeon' she thought, but then she remembered that Graxeon said something to Dragoune and ever since then he was always uneasy talking about the king even more so then before.
"Dragoune I know you really do not want to tell me but I need to know what did Graxeon say to you that night?" Saneira asked and sure enough Dragoune growled and then there was silence.
"He told me that the king planned the killing of my mother. At first I did not believe him but the more I thought about it the more I realized it was true." Dragoune said
"I also can sensed that something else is bothering you but you do not have to tell me if you do not want to." she said kissing on the lips.
'Should I tell her? It may increase her chances in that battle.' Dragoune thought desperately. He decided to tell her what was his vision and was about to say that she should wait it out.
"No I am not going to wait for you and instead of you get a message saying that you died." Saneira said.
"How do I put up with you?" Dragoune asked with a smile.
"Because I am cute adorable beautiful and sexy." she said
"You forgot one." he said
"What's that?" she asked
"That I love you." he said and kissed her on the lips passionately. That's when Volaxone burst through the door.
"The army has been spotted not far from here." he said. Dragoune and Saneira quickly grapped their weapons and headed for Rovino's office with Volaxone.
"Where are they?" Saneira asked when they were inside.
"About fifty miles from here, a gryphon patrol spotted them. I have send word to everyone to get ready." said Rovino
"How long do you think it will take to get everyone who is not fighting in and through the route?" Dragoune said and that's when Rovino looked like he just saw a ghost.
"If we are lucky? Just as we start fighting." he said
"Rovino just where is the escape route?" Volaxone asked
"On the farthest side of where we are fighting." he said while laughing sheepishly.
"You have got to be kidding!?! Why didn't you tell us this before?!" Volaxone yelled.
"Because I thought we had more time." Rovino said, Volaxone was going to yell some more.
"Well it is not a total loss all we have to do is fight while falling back until we reached the center of the area. Cut half the forces, half will be in the front along with the fliers and the other half will be at the route to make sure that no stray troops will enter." Dragoune said and no one had an objection to it.
"Rovino what sort of tricks do yo have in the route anyway?" asked Dragoune
"There are platforms that are holding rocks and ropes that are keeping the platforms up. Cut the ropes the rocks fall down. But why ask unless you are chossing -..." Rovino said
"To be the last one? yes." said Dragoune
"You can't you are too important" said Rovino. Saneira was about object but then knew what Dragoune was going to say next.
"Volaxone and Saneira will be with me as well." he said, Rovino looked like he still wanted to protest but did not.
"Send word to any who had not heard it, the battle that we have been waiting for has finally come." said Rovino.
"I am loathed to say this but I want you to be at the escape route not to runaway but to fight. Plus I want to find out our strengths and weaknesses, so that means that I want you to observe." said Dragoune
"But why not let Volaxone do it?" said Saneira
"Because he is at the front and I am with the fliers. The reason being is that when we really do fight the army Volaxone and I will know how to go about it." he said, but in secrete Dragoune knew that Saneira will be much safer then in the front. They hugged for the longest time and when they did seperate they were crying silent tears.
It had been four hours since then and the king's army was only ten miles away. Dragoune could easily sense Saneira but it was not the same and he felt truly alone. By this time Volaxone came up with Rovino, Baxcon, who kept blinking a bit because of the bit of light, and Magnerous.
"Well everyone is at the escape route and starting to go in. All we have to do is make sure no one gets through" said Rovino trying to think something else Dragoune asked.
"Baxcon where are you and your bats going to be when this is over because the sun will be still up."
"The last platform is not at the exit but further in. He and his bats will stay there until dark." Rovino awnsered
Dragoune hated falling back though it was their best bet.
'Plus it will make Baxon think that we are weak and he will underestimate us.' Dragoune thought to himself.
"Come Dragoune and Baxcon we are needed in the air." said Magnerous
"Be safe my friend." Dragoune said to Volaxone
"You too." Volaxone said and with that Dragoune followed Baxcon and Magnerous. They went high enough to see the battle field clearly. When Dragoune landed on the ledge where all the gryphons and bats were, he noticed that the gryphons who never seen a bat before looked like they would bolt. Dragoune did not blame them, the bats apperance was freaky and they only came out at night which made them all the more scary.
After another hour word came out that the army was very close. Dragoune looked over the edge and saw that everyone was getting ready. He told Magnerous and Baxcon to get ready as well. Magnerous hesitated to tell his gryphons because it sounded like an order to him, but Baxcon screeched to his bats as soon as he said it.
'I wonder if Saneira is having this problem' Dragoune thought and when he did it pained him to no end.
"Baxcon I want you and your bats to go first. Because I do not think that Baxon knows of this open area, so he will not send gryphons right away. But when he does me and the gryphons will come and help if that's okay with you Magnerous." Dragoune hastily added so it did not sound like an order. Magnerous did not object. Dragoune soon heard battle crys from with in the caves. He looked down and saw that the army as reached the logs. Like the logs were suppose to it slow the enemy down but soon they were past the logs. The one s that did not get cut down by the logs or archers were fighting the Vordran. Soon the numbers increased and Dragoune nodded his head to Baxcon and then he and his bats took flight. Some took longer then others because they were carrying large rocks, while others used their voices. Even at this hieght it hurt Dragoune's head greatly to hear those screeches and they were not pointing at him even.
'It is a good thing that the bats are on our side' Dragoune thought shaking his head a few times just to clear it. After an hour had past the Vordran had the adventage until the enemy gryphons showed up. That's when Dragoune, Magnerous, and his gryphons came charging to the fight. Dragoune had his tail sword already out and while he flew down he took out his other two swords. Before he fought any gryphons he went close to the enemy and blew a big fireball, but he got too close and a few arrows went through his wings. Ignoring the pain he set out and found a gryphon chasing a bat. He went in between them and struck at the gryphon. He swung his two swords down at the gryphon but the gryphon blocked it as he did though Dragoune struck his tail sword at him and sliced the gryphon's belly spilling his guts.
Another hour had past and no sign of the messenger. But Dragoune was too busy to realize this because the gryphon was anticipating his every move which is very hard to do. Dragoune flung his tail sword at the gryphons head and it embedded it in the skull. Before the gryphon fell to the ground Dragoune pulled his sword out and put back on his tail. He then saw a furry running from the derection of the route. He singled for Magnerous and Baxcon to start heading back and he too occasinally spitting fire. The fliers got there first and made sure that nothing came after them. Dragoune saw Saneira and landed next to her, she looked tired but not badly injured
'Thank all the gods!!' he thought. They waited for the ground troops to come, most of the bats were already in the route except a few and Baxcon. Finally they heard everyone coming and saw that they were just running not taking the chance to stop and fight. Rovino and Volaxone saw Saneira and Dragoune and went to them.
"Change in plans as soon as I give the single we run like hell into the route." Rovino said and Dragoune understood why because he heard alot more enemies coming closer. When Rovino just saw the last of his troops go into the route the kings army was almost upon them.
"NOW!!" he said and Dragoune made sure that everyone was in before him. He heard that the army was getting closer but then he saw a rope he took his tail sword a sliced it. Rocks tumbled down and blocking the way. They did not slow until the third one, and Saneira came to him grasped him and both of them were kissing and nuzzling.
"Do not ever go away from again." Saneira said Dragoune did not say anything but rubbed his muzzle on hers taking in her scent. When they calmed down Saneira intwined her tail around his and he wrapped his wing over her. That's when he noticed that he got tagged more times than he thought, but none were serious.
"How many dead of ours?" Dragoune said
"Surprisingly not that many, but why ask?" said Rovino
"Because since we need to find another place to stay and in order to do that we need to fight and I may know the place to go." said Dragoune
end
Well that was long Where exactly is the place were Dragoune had the vision and Where are they are going to do now? well you will have to see the in the next part
