The Last Dragon

Chapter Twenty-Seven

The sound of agony cries that came from my little babies made my heartbreak. Pulling the last strap of my chest armor, I look to the mirror before me, seeing the new armor that Fëanor made for me. It was all black, with some red stripes on the chest and arms, making look like Drogon's scales. The armor was light in which make it perfect to move and mount comfortably on Drogon's back. Taking a deep breath, I look to my reflection with confident eyes. This is it! I will put an end on this ice demon!

Pulling a piece of fur out of the wardrobe, I wrap around Lachril and Idhrendir to keep them warm, for what's coming will freeze everything in this place.

"Istril! Do you have everything?" I asked a while picking Idhrendir and Glorfindel picks Lachril. The wails that came out from their little mouths were making us more nervous. "Yes, My Lady! Tunniel, come!" She grabs her daughter's hand and follow us out of the room, to down the caves below the castle. Where we will keep the women and children there a while the battle occurs. The cave was carved by the Valar themselves. The dwarfs and elves helped too, putting spells and runes to protect the people inside.

Istril was going to stay there with Tunniel and the twins, protect them a while I and my husband fight the ice demons outside.

When we arrive at the cave, there was a sea of elves, humans, and dwarfs entering. I notice Queen Varda, Lady Nienna, Lady Este and Lord Tyrion helping the elders humans, who will stay inside with them to protect them. I stop by the huge iron doors and turn back, look down to my lovely daughter and kiss her soaked cheeks "Hush now, my little dragon...it's alright. Nana and Ada will be back really fast." I said with tears rising in my eyes. I look to my son, seeing Glorfindel say his goodbyes to him.

Walking to them, I cup Idhrendir chubby cheeks and stroke softly "My little dragon prince...you must be strong for your sister...Goodbye, ion nin." I kiss each of his cheeks and smiled gently. Glorfindel kisses his daughter and whispers soft words in her ear, I notice a single tear falling down his cheek as he smiles softly to his daughter. I close my eyes, letting some tears falling a while I say my goodbyes to my children. Knowing that this might be the last time that we will be together again.

Giving one last kiss to each of my children, I put Lachril in Istril arms a while Glorfindel gives Idhrendir to Tunniel "Take care of them...Please!" I whisper to Istril. She nods and looks to me with firm eyes "I will!" with that I and Glorfindel turn back and walk out of the caves, hearing the wails and cries of our children. Don't worry, my little dragons! This will be over soon.

When we were outside, most of our army was outside the gigantic stone walls, prepared for the battle. Aredhel and Maglor were waiting for us beside the dragons, wearing their elvish armor.

"Lady Daenys!" Aulë's voice boomed behind me. Turning around, I saw him wearing golden armor, with some runes carved in it. In his hands was a beautiful sword. It was all black, with some details in gold. At the end of the sword handle was a dragon head, with two rubies for eyes.

"I've made this for you. Her name is Eternal Rest. It was made to never miss her target...With her, you will achieve victory!" he said while putting the sword in my hands. To my surprise, the sword was light as a feather, making it easy to wheel it.

"Thank you, Lord Aulë! I will use it with honor." I said while touching gently the sharp blade. He nods and wished me good luck, walking back to his post.

I put the sword on my waist and walked to the dragons, nodding gently to Aredhel and Maglor. Climbing to Drogon's back, I grab tightly his spikes, waiting for the others to climb to their dragon's back.

"Ready?" I asked to them. They all nod and with that order Drogon to fly to the stone wall, landing there with the rest of the dragons, waiting for Him to come.
