Story of my life - chapter 8

Go to chapter 7 (if you missed it)

What a day it was! But lets start from the beginning. I hope I don't miss anything.

We went to that dragon cave in full gear right in the morning. And we went deeper than anytime before. Tremors were more often now. No roaring yet, but we started to feel that something is different. Like that element was much more common down here. And there was very large lump just around this corner. Yikes!

It was not a lump, it was a dragon! And he seen us as soon as we went around that corner. He turned his large head in our direction and immediately opened his mouth. We were barely able to dodge back around that corner. Now its time to flee.

But that dragon was damn quick and was closing in on us fast. Fleeing failed, so lets fight. With back against rock we raised that amulet and it heats up a bit more than usual. But fire was already on its way towards us. But what was that sensation? I could feel the fire as I felt that damn element. And that means I could try to control it. It worked! With all my mind power I shove that flame away.

But dragon was already here. Time to fight. To our big surprise he stopped not far from us. Maybe from shock that flame did not burnt us. Then he looked at our amulet and he started smiling! That was a nice change of pace. And he started talking.

It was about that he did not saw any knights for quite some time and he is sorry to not recognize us earlier. It was long talk, but I was glad it was not fight. Seems that not long ago (according to dragon lifespan) those knights really did fight some evil from deep below and they won.

But it was bitter victory killing all in that fight. And from that day this planet starts to shake more and volcanoes started to spew more lava. Seems that planet core is unstable now. The chamber where that final fight took place was destroyed. But that destruction also revealed strange portal of shimmering blue light. None of the dragon-folk had enough courage to go through.

It seems to be way out of this dying planet. And according to that dragon we don't have much time left. Tremors could be felt quite often now. We asked him if we could ride him so we get to village faster. He agreed and after quick run through caves to the surface we finally took flight! It was mighty awesome! I could do it all day (was it not for impeding doom).

So we flown from settlement to settlement telling all that they should gather all their belongings and meet near that cave tomorrow evening if they want to live. Not all agreed to leave but most do. Who could tell no to their hero from legends riding mighty dragon!
