Chereads / Silver Claw Dragon / Chapter 22 - Flash and Scales

Chapter 22 - Flash and Scales

Tvayin's dream ended shortly after the conversation the two dragons had, it confused him making him momentarily jarred when he awoke with a start at hearing a scuffle in one of the connecting tunnels.

Getting up, he quietly shook himself as he felt newfound energy coursing through his body. It felt as if his muscles had boundless energy, they twitched in constant motion ready to spring into instantaneous movement.

Slowly he crept to the edge of the tunnel as the sounds of a fight could be heard ahead. Glancing down the tunnel he couldn't see anyone so he shifted into a low crawl and stealthily moved forward.

The sounds of a fight got louder with multiple roars and squeaks from different wyrmlings. As he got closer he saw an entry way into anouther large cavern but this one was much larger and had dozens of tunnels leading into it.

In the center of the cavern was a large food shoot with more than one 'cow' underneath it. He had heard about how good they tasted from the other wyrmlings when he was back up top, just the thought of them made his stomach rumble seeing as he didn't eat when he awoken so rudely.

Just below the food shoot was the source of all the noise tens of wyrmlings were in a giant melee around the mound that the 'cows' were on. Dragons of all colours were fighting each other only a few were fighting togetherness pairs against the others, and they were holding out much better by ganging up on them 2vs1.

5 wyrmlings already lay on the ground dead or dieing as their lifeblood drained into pools below them, but what caught Tvaylin's eye was a single female silver fighting against two male steel wyrmlings and holding on remark well!

He felt the excitement of the melee clash into his soul and it screamed back 'I WANT TO JOIN!!' As he felt the indescribable need to enter the fray he also couldn't take his eyes of the brave female fighting a good fight.

She took a nasty swipe from one of the steel wyrmlings and she screeched and shouted In rage due to the pain before she hopped back out of the range of the second wyrmling who tried to lunge at her as a flash of silver slammed into the first steel wyrmling startling the Two of combatants as Tvaylin savaged the side of the steel wyrmling he had attacked.

He gouged his claws into the large chest muscles of the wyrmling he fought slicing huge gashes that leaked blood profusely as he clamped his teeth on the shoulder of his victim as he couldn't get a chance at his neck.

He ripped his jaws back in a jerking motion and a mouthful of flesh came away making the steel wyrmling cry in agony before tvaylin got his claws around his neck and crushed his foes windpipe before it could counter him.

The wyrmling fell limp in his claws moments after the battle started. Catching the steel wyrmling by surprise instantly won the battle for him because steel wyrmling wasn't even a nest champion.

Tiny swirls of worldly energy entered his body as he look towards the other two wyrmlings who had stopped fighting entirely even groups nearby stopped fighting and stared at tvaylin as he made eye contact with them before swallowing the hunch of flesh In his mouth.

This thoroughly intimidated the ones who stopped fighting causing even more wyrmling's to stop fighting as they all stopped and stared at tvaylin.

The silver female who caught his eye strode forward confidently right up to him before she snapped at him. "HE WAS MY KILL YOU CRETIN!"

She screeched at him much to his bewilderment.

"I have been fighting these two idiots for days now and finally figured out how to kill them!" She inhaled a deep breath before continuing. " NOW I have to find new prey, next time don't take what's not yours!" She said before she turned away aggressively and headed towards a distant tunnel.

Tvaylin was stunned, here he was trying to help the female he thought was in trouble and all the thanks he gets is a yelling fit and spit in his face! He as mad now! "As if you had a chance against those two!" He roared as he nodded towards the one dead and other living steel wyrmling's. "You are weak!" He finished yelling.

He stalked with long powerful strides behind the now stopped and very pissed off female silver. He walked straightup to her looking slightly up at her as he was the younger of the two but she could tell that he was faster stronger then her just from the way he held himself ready for instant violence.

She nervously swallowed back her pride as she looked at this very young silver much younger then her she could tell by a few cycles of the moon atleast, he may have been very big for his age but she could tell just by how he was talking that he wasn't very old.

After seeing him upclose she felt great pity and pain at seeing one so young down in the pit, she was from a diffrent noble clan and they sent their young wyrmlings to the pit as a test and to hone their little ones battle prowess from a young age

What she was seeing here was a very Intelligent but almost entirely feral young silver fighting in a hell pit that he had no say in comming too, it looked to her as if this savage wyrmling only knew how to fight.
