Chereads / Wicked Crown / Chapter 25 - Request

Chapter 25 - Request

Desmond heard a loud screech, and next is a continuously blast from the middle of the forest, his eyes widen. What the? What happen? A beasts attack him again from one to another, he continue to fight them as he look around.

He immediately felt something was wrong, the first thing that came to his mind was Katara. From where he stands, he activates his power. He needs to find him quickly before it's too late, his brother personally asks him to look for him. He stepped on the ground, and as his foot landed it sank and the soil broke as if it's just as soft as cotton candy.

He gives all of his strength to his feet, and as he runs the ground obeys. The wind strongly blows as he passes causing all the beast to fly away from his way, the three dances, the leaves fall into the ground. For just a second, he reached the area and saw Katara.

"You're here..." She said and then wipes the blood from the side of her lips. Besides her a dragon that was already being cut on its head, what the?

He froze for a second, he looked at her eyes. It was cold, which gave him a chill from heat to toe.

What the hell happened?!

Ten minutes before Desmond came, Katara was standing at the massive dragon right in front of her. She's like an ant standing against him, woah! It's a dragon, she can't believe it!

As for the deal, wolves give her the exact direction where the egg is. As they get out from the cave, beasts instantly feel their presence. It would be hard for her to reach the place where the egg is, and she needs to fight them all but then wolverians volunteers to help her. "Leave it to us, we can manage them." Fina said, she smiled at her and nodded.

"Then, I believe in you." She responded.

"Don't die." Fina uttured.

It seems like this dragon is guarding the egg, this is not real. Just like what Desmond said, Prof Alan recreated the dragon and this must be one he created.

But it looks so real, if she doesn't have that knowledge maybe she will really panic and believe what she sees.

She took a deep breath and composed herself, the Dragon is still sleeping. The egg is in its nest, she wonders how she could get it?

She silently tip toe to approach the egg, every step she took didn't make any sounds. She already took five steps, five more. She's careful, she continues but then she feels something. She stops walking and turns around, the dragon already awake and looking at her.

'Damn it!' She said and tapped her forehead. She immediately jumps to step back and then pulls out the sword of the prince. It has a knife size at first, but then gradually it turns into a sword.

From lying on the floor, the dragon stands high. She looked up, and it looked her down. She blinked a few times.

"Woah, what a giant." She uttered in awe, she gulped her own saliva. For the blink of the eye the Dragon got aggressive, it screamed at her and then began to move it's leg to stamp her.

She jumped and flew to the air again to avoid being buried alive, she landed on the ground and almost lost her balance. "Woah, that was close!" She said she covered her mouth using her hand because of the dusk from the ground. She swishes her hand in the air, the dragon becomes more aggressive. It turns her way immediately and tries to step her again, for the next thirty seconds to jump and fly around to avoid it's attack.

After that, the Dragon get more frustrated. He started to stand still, take air from the surface and store it to its throat, Katara knows what exactly this dragon wanted to do next.

Katara lowered her upper body slightly to prepare to aim, and for just a second she jumped into the air.

"Shield!" She stated and immediately the ring gets activated and the silver shield appear, gradually the helds her hand. The fire on the throat dragon is already ready to aim at her, the dragon follows her movement and shoots her. The fire ball flew to her, Katara took a deep breath and use her all strength to strengthen her grip to the shield. She face the fire balls from above, and it collide because of that it create a loud blast.

She feels the heat on her skin, she gritted her teeth to endure it. The fire is right in front of her. It hurts, but she needs to endure it. She chose to jump in the air because of the wind, as the cold wind blows the fire gradually vanishes in the air.

But her strength is not enough, because of the strong empack of the dragon's attack. Katara fall back into the ground, and her body rolled. The shield from her ring spontaneously disappeared, her body hit in rocks and blood came out from her mouth.

'Shit!' She cussed, she wasn't able to pull out her first plan. She caught her breath and stood up. It doesn't hurt at all, yes she was wounded but it was just a scratch for her. She held the hilt of the sword, she looked at the dragon. It was preparing to aim at her again, before it could launch another attack. Katara ran to approach the Dragon.

'I'm counting on you!' She talks to the sword she's holding, she trusts the sharpness of it. She runs like a mad cheetah to the dragon, and then jumps into the air again.

She raises the sword, and launches her attack. A massive splash came out from the sword as she swung it from the air, and for just a second the dragon's head was already cut from its neck. She killed it without hesitation, this is bad because she's craving for more.

She landed to the ground, the blood of the sword she's holding is dripping to the grasses. She looked at the sword, this is not an ordinary sword indeed. She turns it into a knife size again and keeps it into its scabbard, she hears someone is coming it's probably Desmond cuz he probably heard the loud explosion. And as she expected, Desmond appears where she is.

"Are you alright?!" He immediately asks, she grins.

"Of course, I am. What will you do now? It seems like I will win." She said,

"I thought you died already." Desmond stated, she laughs.

"As if." They both turned around when they saw the egg glow, a light coming from it and then the card spontaneously flew in the air and the light from the egg flowed inside of it. The card falls back, and Katara catches it.

It seems like they completely collect what's the card asking, Katara lies on the grass and closes her eyes. She looked blue at the blue sky. She feels the cold breeze touch her skin.

"Desmond." She calls him Desmond who's seating besides her glance.

"What?"

"Since I won, can you grant my request someday?" Ask Katara, Desmond knotted his forehead but then smiled.

"So you plan this huh? Sure, what it is."

"Can I trust you?" Desmond gets more serious.

"It's up to you."

She smiled, she got up from lying on the grass and stretched her arm and whole body.

"Let's go, we need to move." She has something to do.
