Dragons

We win the battle not the war

When the dust cleared we were shocked by what met us. A giant beast, thirty feet tall, being rode by the demon rider that threw down the dust.

'You have no hope!' He sneered 'you may as well give up now'

Amanda turned to me and looked at me and nodded.

'Drake, distract him' I said

Drake nodded and summoned a few of the remaining soldiers and they ran towards the beast. The rider saw them coming from a mile away. He turned the beast and charged at them. I didn't stay to watch them, I heard much screaming. I ran behind the battle and anchored a rope to a pair of trees. I made eye contact with Drake, still fighting the battle with the beast and nodded. He charged at the beast with his sword. The rider started backing away as he drew his bow, ready to shoot a arrow through the chest of Drake. He continued backing away, almost ready to release the arrow but he never shot it. While the beast was reversing back, under the control of of the rider, he tripped on the piece of rope I laid down. It crashed on the ground, causing a mini earthquake. When it hit the ground, the group of troopers, Drake, Amanda and I rushed towards the beast, weapons in hand, and massacred it. I grabbed the rider and tied him up with some of the spare rope. I dragged him into the bunker, through the waterfall and into the living room where we came from and threw him on the floor.

'Where are you from!?' I shouted at him

'Why would I tell you?' He responded with arrogance

'I will kill you if you don't tell me' I told him as I prodded his throat with my spear. He looked at me with eyes of fire.

'I will rather die' he responded blankly

'Fine have it your way' I said as his eyes filled with fear and all the colour drained from his eyes. I put my spear away and walked into the weapons room of the bunker. I grabbed a very smooth but heavy, solid iron ball and chain. I dragged it back out to the demon rider and clamped it to his ankle. I called Titan into the room and commanded him to drag the rider outside. The rider was brutally dragged out back into the battlefield, through the bodies of the men killed by the demons. The warriors that weren't killed by the demons stayed outside and collected their dead. When they saw Titan dragging the man from the bunker a loud murmur swept across their sad, depressed faces. I told Titan to stop and shouted

'This man right here, he killed your friends, your brothers, without mercy! Should we show the same mercy to him? I think not!'

I told Titan to continue dragging the man who now going berserk and crying. I dragged him through the men. One man stepped up and kicked the lone rider in the ribs. Another stepped up and did the same, one after the other they kicked, slapped and punched the man who killed their friends until we reached the cliff. Titan positioned him right on the edge. He looked at me

'Don't do this' he pleaded

'For the fallen' I whispered in his ear as I kicked him of the edge. The metal ball dragging him down untill he hit the river and disappeared with a splash and bubbles. The men erupted with a cheer and Drake and Amanda came over to congratulate me.

'This isn't over' I told them 'we still need to find the others'
