Chereads / The Duke of Donkey / Chapter 12 - Draco-Lion

Chapter 12 - Draco-Lion

Gill first days walking to the Nile were okay. However on the second day when he was passing through a village where he was stopped by a tall and buff man. The man talked asked him"You are you new here". Gill looked up at him and said"I don't have any money". The man looked at him again and said "well today's your lucky day there are lions that come here every night to eat our food if you can kill them i will let you pass free of charge". Gill answered him saying"okay" the reason Gill agreed to this was because he didn't see another way to pass this village because in the map this was the quickest way to the Nile plus this was the only civilization for miles.

This forced Gill to stay the night at the village to watch for the lions and to kill them and after he did that he would drag the lions to the man's door so he could pass through the village and not spend anymore time in the village.

Gill stayed awake and waited for the lions to come on the top of an inn. It wasn't until 1 in the morning that he finally saw the lions far away,but when they came closer he saw that they weren't really lions they may look like lions but they weren't. They were far to big for lions and they didn't have fur they had scales they looked like tiny dragons. The only reason why Gill could see that they weren't really lions was because he practiced the mystic arts. The people who didn't practice the mystic arts only saw these beast as lions.

Gill couldn't believe what he was seeing because he never saw any beast in the mystic arts before. So gathering up all his courage he went down to the ground to fight against the dragon-like lions. He attacked first throwing a ball of fire at them while preparing to use form icicles underneath them to kill them in a clean shot but what Gill didn't except was that the lions skin were like steel the pack of lions and fhe fire couldn't burn the them and what Gill had faith in was his icicles working but as soon as they touch the Draco skin they broke.

The Draco then started running at him and Gill saw he had no chance to defeat the Dracos he ranned in the opposite direction but the Dracos were faster and they caught up to him and they all jumped on him ready to devour him and for the first time Gill felt something he thought he would never feel he felt fear.

Right when the Dracos were about to eat him up a white line came through the Dracos body and a hand reached out and grabbed Gill out.It was the man that stopped Gill. The man looked at Gill and said with a smile "I told you i would find a way to scare you". When Gill heard those words he was shocked until he relizaed that it was The Duke of Donkeys or Saint Pa.

Gill wondered how he had been so stupid to be unable to tell that it was the Duke. That was until the Duke told him that he was using a spell to mask his identity.

But another question formed inside the Gill's head so he asked the Duke "Why are you here". The Duke looked at him and said with a sad sigh"After I decided to help you come to Africa to get your weapon they kicked me out and decided to find another Duke that would follow orders". "As I told you there would be consequences and this is the consequence. Anyways lets go"
