Chapter 35 - 35. A Dragon Sword.

Petrelli Knight was a glorious and very tactful and affable character, one that chose the paths of diligence and dignity in the labour of Rulership as a Knight and a Prince of the land of Carmosa possessing much armours, wealth and treasuries to be used in battle and life.

News reached Petrelli Knight and his Father King Aiglestar of Carmosa while working in the Castle that there existed a caste which housed and contained a young Dragon. This caste or cave was situated close to the hills Eastwards of the land of Carmosa. It was said that outside the caste on its entrance was placed a Dragon Sword. The sword it was said such a notorious weapon to be used in battle. The Dragon Sword was so priceless and anyone who tried to retrieve or steal it was attached and preyed upon by the Young Black Dragon which could only be slain by the use of the Sword in it's lynching. So the Dragon Sword was placed at the entrance of the cave for a snare by the Dragon.

On the knowledge of the existence of the Dragon Sword, Petrelli Knight who was well gifted with a lot of arms and weapons was very adventurous and grasping as he desired the possession of the sword and his utilization of it. He thought of how to strategize in a bid to capturing the sword. Petrelli Knight therefore organized and marshalled twenty Knights who were to accompany him to the Dragon caste in an adventure to filch the Dragon Sword and perhaps kill the Dragon. Petrelli Knight arranged four Knights each to Marshal the sides of the caste and four of his strong and favorite Knights approached the cave on its entrance but stood at a distance for Petrelli Knight went on invisibility mode with his helmets as he commanded his Knights to strike hard with their swords and clubs if the Dragon approached him or tried to launch an attack on him.

Petrelli Knight wore his helmet of invisibility and as he could not be seen, like an adept Ninja moved stealthily to the entrance of the cave in attempt to snatching the Dragon Sword. The Dragon did not perceive the presence of Petrelli Knight and his men and its Sword was being sneaked away from the entrance where it was trapped as the Dragon couldn't detect any sign of movement outside the entrance of his cave or caste.

But as Petrelli Knight shivered or shrieked in his stealthy moves the young Dragon was sensitive with knowledge of some strange movement on the way and Petrelli Knight watching as the Dragon tried stalking his invisible movement swiftly struck hard with the Dragon Sword thereby slitting the Dragon in its throat and in an reflexive bleeding the Dragon puffed out fire from it's mouth and nostrils and with four more blows and strikings with the Dragon Sword Petrelli Knight slew the young Dragon and cutting off its head he removed and unsheathed his helmet and becoming visible Petrelli Knight lodged the huge body of the Dragon and its head on his chariot and rode back gallantly with the Dragon and its Sword to the Castle. On seeing the great feat achieved by Petrelli Knight on the slay of the Young Dragon and the capture of the Dragon Sword which would have on the contrary cost the loss of many Knights in battle something Poachers or Rangers would have been challenged with in course of attack in the forest or hills where he Dragon pitched its tent or was caved in.

The Dragon Sword was a very vital weapon to be used in battle and possessed the shape of a Dragon having two blades on each side, two handles and a chain linking it up. It could be used by swinging roundly to slay huge beasts and tough skinned animals thrown in attack of the strange creature much stronger than any mere sword a master in the art as weapon in slaying wild creatures thickened in skin like a Dragon, an Elephant or an Hippo.
