Chapter 52 - Epilogue

There stood 3 dragons, all looking at each other. 2 of them had quite big smiles on their faces, while the female dragon looked at the both of them a bit confused as to what was going on, and what these dragons plans were for her.

She moved back, a bit scared, as she was not sure what to do. She was trapped in the corner of a very dark cave. The dragons had an even more evil smile than they just had shown on their faces before. It was hard to see for her, due to the poor eye sigh that black dragons tended to have.

The 2 mean looking black dragons looked at each other for a few moments, as it was even hard to see close up. They did eventually nod, as they knew what it was that they had to do. They both took out their claws as they began to slowly walk over to the scared black dragon.

She now realized what was going on at the moment. She too put her claws out, as she knew that she was a great fighter, but there was just not much she could do in close ranged combat against 2 male dragons that were a fair bit larger than she was.

The female dragon looked at both of the dragons for just a few moments, as she then hissed at both of the dragons. It actually scared the both of them a bit as they stopped themselves for just a few seconds. Then they did in fact realize that there were 2 of them, and only 1 of her.

They then continued where they had left of, no more than a few seconds ago, as they kept on moving towards the young female dragon. She knew that she had no chance, so she did her best to at least try to reason with them, or at least hold them off until some friends might find her out here. She then began to speak to both of the dragons.

"What are you 2 doing? If you plan on anything sexual against me, my father will kill the both of you!" She said to both of the dragons. They both looked at each other a bit confused for just a few seconds, at what she had just said to them.

They suddenly began to laugh at each other, as it was a bit funny to them, what they had just heard her say. No dragon would be stupid enough to try and rape any dragon, much less the daughter of the leader, even they knew that black dragons were not that dumb nor cruel.

They finally then turned their heads over to the female dragon that was in front of them, as they stopped laughing, and they then began to become serious, as they decided to respond to what she had just said to the of them, that were with her in the corner of this cave.

"Sexual?! You are crazy, we would never do that to a traitor such as you Yikla! We are here to kill you silly! Everyone knows the real reason that you were with those dragons... It seems that you might have fallen in love with them!" They said back to her.

She looked at them a bit confused, and a bit surprised for just a few moments. She knew that a lot of dragons believed that she had betrayed them, but these dragons seemed to know a bit more than she had thought that they might have.

She gulped, as she tried to keep herself calm at the same time as well. She knew that they could not know about her love for one dragon in specific. The leader of the red dragon tribe, it could not be true! There was no way! She shook her head as she lowered her head to the ground at the same time as well.

She felt sick, as she knew that she had betrayed them. She knew that Jangra was no longer in love with her any more. It was their only chance though, and she wished that if they would have been in her paws, they would have understood why.

She also knew why they were angry at her as well. She had no other choice though, they would have cancelled the attack, planned it another time, and then they would have killed her! She did not know how to explain it, nor did she know who's side she really was on in the first place.

She then lifted her head back up to the 2 dragons, as she shook her head, trying to shake out all of those thoughts at the same time as well. She knew that they did not know about Jangra, hell, her father did not even know that Jangra even existed!

That was one advantage that they had over them, other wise the red dragons would stand no chance, and neither would the humans. If she had to die with that, than be it so. She looked at both of the dragons, and then she began to speak to them.

"I did not betray you! I went there because I know how unloyal you guys are, so I had to talk to them and find out their plans... You see, they already knew about the war because a different black dragon already betrayed us... I tricked them... You should thank me..." She said back to the both of them.

They looked at her, a bit surprised, and a bit confused at the same time as well, as they then began to think on what it was that she had just said to them. Yikla then began to get a bit excited, that she might have some sort of way out of this now.

It seemed to make sense at the same time as well to both of the black dragons too, but at the same time, they also knew how smart she was, and they then realized that she was trying to manipulate them. The 2nd black dragon then stepped up a bit more angrily this time, as he began to speak loudly to her.

"You think we actually believe that? If it even is true what you say it the first place, there is no going back now! We must kill you..." Both of the dragons said to her, this time with even bigger smiles on their faces, than they had before hand.

They knew that they were going to be killed no matter what, but if she had in fact betrayed them, then they would be told in stories throughout time, about how brave they were, and how they had saved their black dragons... They then got even closer to her than before, with their claws out.

Yikla was ready to fight back, as she had her claws out as well, though she did not think that she could get out of this one. She knew that these were some of the best warrior dragons in the tribe. She gulped, as suddenly the 1st dragon swung at her.

She dodged in quickly, a lot faster than a normal black dragon would, or even a red dragon for that matter, it surprised both of the dragons, as it caught them off guard quite a bit, Yikla knew that this was her only chance now, as she had to try to escape while both of them were a bit lost.

She then got up, and then she began to fly out of the cave. Just before she got a safe distance away, she was then taken down by the tail, as the 2nd dragon had just managed to catch her, he began to laugh at her at the same time as well, as he began to speak.

"You thought that you could just get away like that? Now, you must die!" He said back to her, as she turned her head, getting ready for the fire, and for the scratches. As she knew that she had blown her only chance at getting away, and she was done for now.

The entire red dragons species was done for now. She could care less for the humans, as she knew that they needed her, if they were going to get out of this. She closed her eyes, as she then got ready, as she waited for it all to happen all at once.

Suddenly she heard something fly by her at the same time as well. She opened her eyes, as to her surprise, she saw that it was a 3rd black dragon. He jumped on top of both of the dragons, as he was strong enough to hold the both of them down.

He began to yell to both of them a bit angrily, as both of the dragons looked at him quite a bit scared. They knew how powerful this dragon was, and now that they had tried to take Yikla down, they stood no chance what so ever to try to fight back against him. They listened to what it was that he had to say to the both of them however.

"You 2 would ever dare try to kill the daughter of Plyma?! I should kill you now! You better go back to the camp while you still have the chance, or I very well will!" He said to the both of them. They looked at him a bit scared, and a bit surprised that they would not just kill them on spot.

The bigger black dragon moved back, as he let the both of them go free. They both looked at each other, a bit surprised that he was letting them go free. They did not hesitate to get out and run before he changed his mind however, as they gave Yikla ugly looks once they had gotten out of the cave.

Yikla began to walk over to the dragon, a bit surprised to see him there. She was thankful for him however, as he had in fact saved her life. She nodded to the dragon, as she then began to speak to him at the same time, after a few moments of silence.

"Thank you Joergen... I thought that you did not like me... Why did you not just let then kill me?" She asked the black dragon that had just saved her life. She sat there for a few moments, as she was in fact quite interested on what his response might be to her. He just kept his head down low to the ground for just a few moments.

He had a blank look on his face at the moment, as he did not want her to know what it was that he was thinking, as he was smiling inside... He knew that they still needed her, he did not like her at all in fact. She was falling right into the game as hoped for, he lifted his head to Yikla, as he nodded and then he began to speak to her.

"Yikla... I do not like you, but you are the daughter of my best friend, and I also happen to be your uncle... Besides, we need you..."
