Not to far from the kingdom, there was a campsite full of soldiers, knights in armour either keep fire lit, managing wood supply, Even some sharping they're swords, One of them was sharping his sword, he had a face full of nervousness

Just then he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to see general Krieg " Look sharp, son. We're in for one hell of a battle."

"General Krieg, is it true the Shale Steps fell?" The soldier asked

He turned his head "Aye." He replied and began walking into the middle as the others listened "And the monster is still unknown. But you are the Arms of Emon, entrusted by Sovereign Uriel with the safety of the realm. We don't need to know the enemy, we only need know ourselves. Our training, our devotion to this land. No matter the danger, victory is ours if we fight with honor and raise our swords on high." He unsheathed his sword

"You heard the General. For Emon. As one!" A female soldier, who was the captain took hers out her sword and raised it to the sky, others followed her movement "As one!"

The same soldier from before scoffed "What a load of shite."

"Best finish making camp. A storm's blowing through tonight." Krieg said then went into his tent

As the Time pasted, all of a sudden the wind had started to pick up, the same soldier peaked out and gasped, especially when he saw something big in the sky flying towards them, and the other soldiers, who had come out to see what the commotion was, witnessed it too

"Is that..."

"Eyes up. We've got incoming!" The captain yelled

The creature in the skies snarled as it descend "Stand your ground." She ordered as everyone got into Position with they're shields and arrows "Archers, make ready. Let loose!"

"Fire!" Someone yelled

They fired they're arrows, but the dragon either dodged or they were not effected, it then fired lightning at them

Some soldiers died and some screamed "Ready the catapult!" The captain yelled, the aimed for the beast as it was distracted, so they used this "Release!"She yelled

The catapult was fired, hitting the dragon directly, lighting up the sky with fire, The soldiers cheered at they're so called victory "Yeah! Yeah!"

However the captain noticed something wrong, as the fire cleared, it reveals the dragon unharmed

It shot more lighting down, striking the captain, who screamed in absolute agony, others were practically giving up and trying to run away, either ended up chomped or struck by lighting

Two soldiers were hiding, Terrified As they're comrades were being killed, one ended up dead by a branch of the tree stabbed through his head

"fսck honor." The two tried to make a run for it, anything to get away, but were caught by the dragon's claws, soaring in the air, still screaming as it dropped they're bodies, the impact killing them instantly

It roared as it flew away into the night
