Rosch was falling towards his death, his eyes closed, accepting what would happen next. He didn't have much to do, only thinking about his happy and good memories.
"Dying with a smile isn't bad either.", Rosch thought, starting to smile. The only thing that didn't gave him that much peace was Basarilia. She was still grieving and in Roschar's mind he saw a female that was sitting in a cell all alone crying her eyes out. She probably wasn't, as crazy as she was, but Roschar's mind pictured her like that.
"Shit, I thought I could die calmly and in peace but my fucking brain won't let me.
Brain, what the fuck do you won't me to do? We are falling towards our death. Don't make it harder for me. Do you want me to drop on top of the enemy. That way I can take him with me.... ", Rosch thought, as he suddenly ripped his eyes open, as if it was the most ingenious idea ever. His smile and calmness that was before, changed instantly. Rosch gave of a vicious and brutal aura off now, with a huge grin showing all his teeth.
He was probably only 10 till 15 seconds away from death, as he saw the coliseum. This was his second free fall, which made maneuvering a bit easier. He suddenly changed his falling direction by making his body as big as possible. He didn't know how much it helped, but it was enough to fly towards near by gates that were under him the first time he fell down. After that he switched between making himself as small as possible and as big as possible, till he liked th free falling route towards the black robed human.
This time it was just that he was pretty low already and didn't know if it was enough to change the falling path that much. He hoped it was enough and would lead him exactly on top of the black robed human's head.
Rosch started to glide towards the middle of the arena. He concentrated a bit magic into his eyes and could see better than an eagle. His grin grew so immensely, because the air pushed his mouth open even more. His fangs were in full display now.
At the ground, the black robed human started to shiver. He felt death.
"W.... What is going on? Again? I didn't feel that much alive in at least the last 5 to 10 years. Who is bearing his fangs at me?", the black robed human said with a smile on his face. He looked around, but didn't see anyone that could make him feel like that.
But death approached faster and faster and somehow this time he felt it was to dangerous.
" What is that feeling, as if even my emergency line will get destroyed and I will die for sure this time? If I won't even see what hits me, how will I be able to counter or even flee in time. What the fuck is going on?", the black robed human thought, while getting worried for the first time in this fight.
The black robed human looked down, than to the right, left and behind him. Nothing was there. He was getting desperate, as he looked up and suddenly stood still in shock.
The reason was, he saw Rosch, who was pretty close to him already and he knew it was over.
He wouldn't be able to make a gate in time, not even take a step to the side would be enough as Rosch made himself as big as possible. The moment of hesitation as the black robed human was shocked, was enough to seal his death.
He only saw, how a grinning small crossbreed, was meters away from crashing into him and ending his life.
He couldn't close his eyes, as his mind wasn't sure of what to think.
"How could such a thing happen? That small creature will be my end? I can't believe it. I fought stronger beings. Did I underestimate him? Yeah maybe a bit, but that wouldn't be enough to kill me. No, that creature is different. It isn't afraid of death. Even I don't want to die and I had a very long life. How can he be so reckless? That little creatures mind should be on the verge of collapsing, but he thinks of a way to take me down with him? Truly fascinating! ", the black robed human thought, as he knew it was over. And for some weird reason he started to smile, too, even though unwillingness and a bit of fear was in his heart.
Everything seemed to be final and both the black robed human and Rosch would surely die today, but someone didn't want that.
Rosch suddenly disappeared from the black robed human's face. He was so close and just suddenly vanished. He didn't know what happened. The black robed human's lungs were still unable to breathe. Not able to suck in a bit of air. He just stood their for a while processing everything that just happened.
Before Rosch was to close and a bit away from crashing into the black robed human, a beautiful and young female looked up into the sky.
It was Draconia.
"He was sent into the sky again! Will he survive such a crash again? Why didn't he use his wings the first time? I mean he must be one, right? A descendant of a dragon like I am. What is going on? That aura and body strength. His ferociousness at such a young age. He must be one. Or.... I thing I heard that if your bloodline of a dragon became to thin, wings, tale and scales dissappear. Hmmmm. I thought he hid them with magic. Or he truly isn't one. ", Draconia thought, not knowing what to do.
She saw him falling down and knew she had to act now or she won't be able to catch him.
" Fuck it. He is the first humanoid being that I met, who could have some dragon blood in him. I can't risk it, not to save him.", Draconia thought, as she went down a bit, bending her knees to prepare for a jump.
Magic gathered in her legs, as she suddenly jumped up with amazing power. Her wings extended and her tail started swinging around to help navigate in the air. It looked amazing at how fast she became in such a short amount of time.
Draconia didn't have much time, as Rosch was falling down at an terrifying speed.
She was going up instead of trying to go towards Roschar, which made it look as if she wouldn't make it, but as she was a bit higher she suddenly dived down, accelerating even faster.
She did it just like an eagle, as she made her body as aerodynamic as possible and tried to fly into Roschar's flying path, to try and catch her prey.
Her green and purple scales, as well as her long straight hair were reflecting the sunlight, which made it hard to look at her.
It shocked most beings to the core. It looked as if a dragon was flying above them. Dragons were rare and scared most beings, as they could exterminate an entire village with ease. Even though Draconia had her wings and tail, nobody believed she was a dragon or half dragon, since those are even rarer than actual dragons. All of them thought she was some kind of rare beast-tribe-female.
But the sudden flight she took was more than enough to shock them. Beast-tribe-races with wings can glide or control themselves in the air, but they can't really fly. Some may be able to fly through the help of magic, but since their kind isn't suited for magic, it is absolutely rare.
Every spectator gluped down their saliva loudly, as the purple and green shining half dragon dived down at such an amazing speed, while colliding into Rosch.
It wasn't loud or anything, as she grabbed him. But she had to dive with him a bit to take some force of the fall. But it was still a hard catch for Draconia.
Rosch didn't know what happened for a moment, but he heard bones breaking. Some were his own bones that were already damaged from the first fall and some were from Draconia, who caught him. She tried to control her flight, but after catching such a big object like Rosch, who was extremely fast, her wings creaked a bit and she had to make an emergency landing. She tried to control her fall, too, but could only crash down, while turning around and using her wings as cushion. It was shocking as she seemed to have felt nothing. Her face didn't change after all that.
Rosch looked at her in surprise and didn't know what to say. Even though he got hurt after the catch, the fall didn't hurt him at all.
"Thanks I guess.", he said awkwardly, while smiling. Trying to thank her for saving him.
But Draconia on the other hand didn't say much, only started to touch his back and shoulder plates.
Her left wing was completely broken getting dragged behind her on the ground, still her face didn't change as she touched Roschar's back.
Rosch felt as if something wasn't right, but as she saved him he let her touch him, even though it was completely weird.
"Y..... You aren't a dragon?", She suddenly said disappointed, shocking Rosch.
"Aaahhhhh... No, I guess not. But my females say I am one inside the bed at night.", Rosch said trying to ease the mood. But he was ignored, while she dropped him on the ground and went forward to attack the black robed human, as if nothing happened.
"He doesn't even have stumps or bones indicating his forefathers had wings. Just like humans have tail bones, indicating they had a tail, those who had dragon blood in them, would have smaller bone parts on the back indicating he was of our race.", Draconia thought disappointed.
Rosch was stunned at the sudden fall on his butt. But he didn't say anything. She still saved him, even though it was hell of rude of her.
He suddenly dashed behind her trying to attack the black robed human with her together.
As Rosch and Draconia ran towards the black robed human, you could see at the back of the arena, where Draconia was a moment ago, a bunch of warriors just standing there. They were still completely in shock, because they couldn't believe they fought a dragon just now. The last seven warriors suddenly dropped down to the ground trying to look as dead as possible, knowing those three that are still fighting are in a league of their own, forgetting all their pride in an instant.
Draconia looked back for a second, her mind still a bit in chaos even though you couldn't see it in her face or behavior.
"Why did that boy look at me like that before. I really thought I found one. But everything was just false hope. Or... Was it really just him trying to convey his thoughts for us together fighting that black robed human? ", Draconia thought her shoulders sinking a bit down for the first time.
Rosch, who was behind her saw that, but he thought it was because her wing was broken and dragging on the ground.
"Are you okay? Can you fight with that wing like that?", Rosch said worried.
Draconia was surprised and was thinking till now, completely forgetting about her wounds.
She suddenly extended her wings making them big as possible, while breaking sounds could be heard. You could see it on her face that it must hurt even more than the fall now, since her face changed painfully for the first time.
After extending them till the maximum, she drew them back in and they went perfectly on her back as if another skin was lying in top of her back.
Normally they were always open, since she was very proud of them, but with one wing completely broken it would only be in the way.
Rosch was surprised at how fast she could extend or drew them back in. Almost like his bone blades. It was truly fascinating to him.
Rosch didn't say anything anymore, as he dashed besides her, indicating he will go from the right side while she attacks from the left side.
Draconia just looked for a while as she made a hmpfing like sound.
She was a bit annoyed and wanted to attack Rosch. But fighting him now wouldn't feel right, as he was already hurt badly, almost done for in her eyes.
"As if I need help to beat that black robed human.", Draconia thought looking down on all of those inside this city.
She accelerated suddenly, running straight at the black robed human.
Rosch was surprised at her speed and that she didn't even listen to him. She seems to have never even thought about fighting together.
As both of them ran towards the black robed human, the black robed human himself didn't move for a bit in such a long time. He just stood there, almost completely absent-minded.
"Th..... That hybrid is to much. He is so fucking much fun... I.... I..... I need his body. It's the first time I would like to try another being that isn't human.", the black robed human thought, salivating a bit.
He suddenly turned towards the approaching pair, but didn't even react to Draconia.
Who was closer to him.
" BOY. You fucking did it. You made me more than excited. A moment ago you got boring, but now, you fucking did it. You are mine now. Kukukuku. Your body is going to be mine. Kukukukuku. " the black robed human shouted.
Rosch shivered as he heard that.
"He wants my body!!!! What kind of freak is he?",Rosch thought, knowing now even more than before that he can't lose.
