"David let's do this"
Watching my teammates get ready for the battle which determines the victory or defeat for humanity without a hint of fear and they were proud , proud of the fact that they could be the hero that every one look up to and if we fail it's all over, its eat or be eaten. So we finally reached at the lair of the Emperor of the monsters – The Thirteen Headed dragon after a bitter end of fighting with monsters for more than four years.
"Tom wait up for a bit, everyone check for your utilities and prepare the weapon for the war. This will be the final battle which will decide what will happen for the future as whether we succeed or fail". Â
"FOR HUMANNITY"
Everyone screamed together as I gave my final speech and they headed towards the Thirteen Headed dragon's dwelling.
"Captain, we have found no monsters in or around the cave"
A short boy comes running to him and delivers the report
"Good job, go call everyone"
After a few minutes everyone dressed in full body armour with weapons comes to the gathering spot.
"Captain, everyone is here"
"Good, everyone there are no monsters in or around the cave of the Thirteen Headed Dragon. this may be for two reasons, first is that the Thirteen Headed dragon is two proud so it sent all the monsters away and the second is that it may be an ambush prepared for us, so everyone must remain vigilant and observe the surrounding and alert everyone if there is something suspicious"
""Yes Captain""
"Good lets lay the dragon and regain our freedom"
We go from the small opening at the back entrance of the cave and quickly and steadily enter the cave
"Tom observe the dragon's lair from above"
I commanded Tom to move up on the rocks to see whether the surroundings were safe or not
"Tom what's the report"
"The Dragon is currently resting and there is no notable possibility about an ambush"
i thought for a while and said "good job but everyone be careful as we don't know what the enemy are thinking so we must be prepared and now get ready to attack the heart of the dragon and people from group 2 prepare to distract the dragon and do not let the dragon attack the people from group 1while group 3 is on standby and they will replace those are either injured or killed from both group"
Everyone nod their head as they go near the dragon
"Welcome pests, I have been waiting for you "
The Thirteen Headed Dragon opened its red eyes as it spoke calmly
"Everyone attack, LONG LIVE HUMANITY!!!"
Since the enemy knew about their our presence it would be useless to sneak attack so they directly jumped into combat
"Puny humans the biggest mstake that your race has done is to provoke my monster race"
"Shut up. Your monsters attack our villages and burn it; they kill people and also attack on girls. You have tortured us for so many years but it's now our time to rebel"
I shout at the dragon who has no intention to fight as equals but instead as looking us as insects with disgust
I take out my bow and start shooting at the eye in order to cut off its vision
the dragon swings its giant tail and swings it due to which more than ten people are instantly killed and it spits out fire turning several people into ashes
"AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHAAA"
after shooting many arrows it finally pierced through the thick scales and hit the dragon and after a few minutes all of its thirteen pair of eyes were blinded and it shouts in agony and i took out and we all immediately start our counter attack by attacking its wings and leg so it could not fly away and two hours of constant fighting i managed to pierce my sword into his heart killing it after i turned my head after which i saw only a couple of people left
"Tom let's go back to our home and live a peaceful life"
"Yes David i will live a peaceful life but unfortunately you would die here"
CLACK
a sword was stabbed from the back through my heart, i vomit a mouthful of blood
I looked at Tom and said "Wh...y "
"Sorry David i have to do this as i wanted to be the hero as people will worship me and my influence will be stronger than the Emperor and i will be the new king and rule over the place, so you have to die David in order to fulfil my desire"
after which he pulled the sword back and kicked me after which blood started to flow from my chest
I was thrown with the dragon and oil was poured upon us and it was lit by Tom after which he started laughing
I was shouting in my head, what did I do to deserve this? why my life have to end like this?
Tom who i see as my little brother was the one who killed me in order to fulfil his desire to become the king and I was only a stepping stone in order to make his wish come true. Then my consciousness started to fade away.
