Chapter 8 - Riho the dragonewt

In the path of the burned trees a talon smashes the ground. More and more follow as lesser dragons and dragonoids flow out of seemingly nowhere. a smile erects on a particularly large dragonoid black with a red stripe up its chest culminating in a half moon. the green scales on its back release a green gas. fire releasing out of its chattering jaws. it begins to speak.

[???] the hunt has begun. even lord kilgore wants a Heir. it seems the gods who have descended have limits put upon themselves.

he smacks the ground.

[???]Why am I not good enough for lord kilgore? do I mean nothing to him? why choose a useless mortal? Sigh let things go as they may. charge my brothers charge and kill those that are weak. we shall feast tonight!!!.

The beats roar as they March faster towards the camp.

back at the camp a thunderous rampage is felt from the ground. all the people around have a hard time standing. Keith runs into camp screaming for kale.

[Keith] Kaaaale we have a problem!!!

kale rushes out with lex slowly behind him. kale holds Keith up as he falls spewing blood.

[Kale] Keith what happened to you? how did you get like this?

[kale] cough* cough* listen kale, lex and everyone else needs to run. the owner of this dungeon is...

being cut off by many roars beasts start rushing towards the camp. lex fires several arrows taking them out as if a large group were singing a castle with a storm of arrows.

[lex] [magic skill arrow rain]

enemies fall to her many arrows yet they keep coming Like a endless tide. kale takes a step forward. Twin shields ready a sword on his back he rushes them. Carving a bloody path through them like a rampaging ogre.

[Kale] Hahahaha die you pests

About 100 meters from kale lex readies another arrow. That moment kale body flies past her, and enemies surround her. she frimmaces.

[lex] Am I going to die here? no...I can't I must live.

[???] So there's still one awake? I thought these little pets would be done by now.

The dragonoid from before appears before lex with a gust of wind.

[???] So human are you worthy of my masters power? of course your not!! no human is, but why do I suffer such truffles in favor of your species?

Lex looks up her eyes going wide as she spots the dragonoid chewing on someone's arm.

Just then all the beasts start to enclose lex.

lex gets up years running down her face she screams. "I WILL LIVE!!!" The dragonoid grabs her by the throat slowly gripping. just then the gragonoids arm is removed and it is sent thrown back. a shield embedded in its chest.

Behind lex a bloody kale stands. an arm missing. he walks forward dragging his sword.

[Kale] Stupid gods Damn Demons Godforsaked angels. all of you should just dissappear.

He looks up to lex. then shakes his head as lex runs to him.

[Lex] Kale are you ok?

Lex is grabbed before she can reach him. she is tossed into a tree as the dragonoid pulls the shield out of his chest tossing it.

[Riho] So human you managed to hurt me riho the dragonewt. You hurt me...a servant of the great Master kilgore!!!!.

He rushes kale as kale swings his blade with terrifying speed. Riho dodges and goes to claw kale when a pair of daggers block his claw. Riho jumps back in surprise as all the beasts around them fall. Keith tosses a knife at Riho it cuts him exploding behind him. Riho is flung forward into the ground.

[Riho] YOU WILL ALL DIE!!!

Riho jumps up spitting fireballs out at kale and Keith. Riho rushes in after the fireballs.

Lex shakes her head hearing the primal scream of riho. she slowly gets up as a large hand grabs her and takes her.

[a while later at a dark place]

Lex slowly opens her eyes seeing only one small opening of light. the light drifting down on a altar where a dragonoid is sitting on a throne. he speaks making her ears tremble.

[???] foolish mortal even though we abide by the laws of this world doesn't make us weak. How dare you come to my land. I hate the smell of most of you humans, however you...you smell delicious and useful.

lex backs up hitting her back against a wall. she looks back feeling around for an entrance. there is none in sight the dragonoid is right next to her now.

[???] do you not wish for power? do you wish to rule above the other weakling? give me your hand and accept my power or die. which will you choose?

lex turns only the beasts glowing eyes visible now. next to it as she squints she sees someone sitting on his throne. she points at the throne.

[lex] if your the ruler here. Who is sitting on your throne?

the dragonoid looks back spotting shin sitting on his throne. shin smirks as he says his voice seeming heavy.

[Shin] well well here we have a tiny lizard pretending to be king. he jumps off staying in the dim light. his eyes closed. well let's see who you are. reveal your true form and come play.

he raises his hands and the room starts to shake the dragonoid is pulled towards shin.

[kilgore] I am kilgore the unrestrained king of dragons how dare a mere human!!

that brief instant they both dissappear as lex stands up she slowly gets used to the dark. feeling around she hits a switch causing fires to appear in lanterns around the room. a wall of murals depicting the true form of the God kilgore.
