Chereads / Tales of Sir George the Dragon Slayer / Chapter 13 - The Oasis Part 4

Chapter 13 - The Oasis Part 4

George and Skai stand motioinless around the fire still burning, but the flame is dying out. 

"Did you feel that?", asks George.

"Did you get scared too?", asks Skai as he starts to walk to the lake.

"Yeah, what was that?", asks George.

"I think that was another power orb shard.", says Skai. 

"These things are scary.", says George.

Then the water from the lake rises. From the middle a huge golden sphere surfaces. The sphere morphs into a platform, and on the platform is Goldton Osmund standing with a ginormous black sword in his hand. He has black hair, gold eyes, and darker skin. The sword is made out of black dragon skin, it has a long hilt, and at the end of the hilt is a shiny blue diamond. From the distance a large dragon appears. The dragon has brown scales, black eyes, and on its stomach had a burn mark which said Goldton Banks Property on it. Goldton Osmund stood on the property and then noticed Skai and George.  

"That's him.", says a stuned Skai.

"Who?", says George.

"Your grandfather.", says Skai, "That is Goldton Osmund!". Skai's eyes glow white and he stares at Goldton Osmund, a stare of hate. Skai walks closer to the lake and shapes the water into a spear, then freezes the water. He throws it at Goldton. Goldton quickly dodges it and stares at them with his piercing gold eyes. 

"Did you ants really try to scratch me?", Goldton says as  begins to laugh menacingly, "The weak do not deserve to live. I should kill you two right now, but I am in a happy mood, so you'll get off easy this time."

"Goldton Osmund!", yells Skai pointing at Goldton. 

"Oh.", says Goldton with a smirk, "We have a fighter."

"I will kill you no matter how long it takes.", says Skai. 

George stands in awe of his grandfather, Godton jumps off the platform and once he hits the sand the platform disappears. Goldton limps close to Skai and George, and then once he got close enough both Skai and George begin to grovel.  

"I will give both of you until my dragon gets here to try to scratch me. Heck if you can stand up that would be a miracle.", says Goldton with his arms crossed. 

Skai struggles up onto his knees and then looks at Goldton in his piercing gold eyes. Goldton stares back at him and then kneels down right in front of Skai.  

"I remember you.", Goldton pases as he leans closer to Skai as he examines him, "You were part of the family that escaped because of Godfrey."

"I was.", says Skai as he tries to get up again.

"I remember I hunted all of you down and slaughtered your mom, your sister, and your dad.", Goldton pauses and smiles, "I wish I could have shown you their sad corpse. I should have finished off your weak bloodline. You people were basically human."

Skai's pale body begins to glow white as he skirms. He finally is able to stand up and swings a punch with his left arm. Goldton grabs his arm and snaps Skai's arm. Skai grabs his shoulder as he looks at his bone protruding from his arm and blood spills from the wound. 

"Next time I will just cut it off. The time after that I will take your life.", says Goldton. Goldton looks at George and asks, "Are you gonna try anything now?"

George slowly moves his head and looks up at his grandfather,"I am George Osmund, your grandson."

"No!You are a failure.", states Goldton as he walks away from them as the ginormous dragon approaches. He climbs up onto it and it flies away.George sits there watching as his grandfather flies off into the distance.

"God damn it! Help Me, George!", yells Skai.

"Oh yeah sorry. What do you need me to do?", asks George.

"I don't know! Just get me to a god damn doctor!", yells Skai. 

"We are in the desert. . . Can you create a staircase to go down to the city?", asks George.

"No. I can't focus.", says Skai quickly.

"Ok then.", says George as he scrambles around trying to figure out what to do. Skai falls down into the sand in pain. George runs back over to the bags and searches through his to find a cloth. George finds a cloth and then runs back over, "Do you think this will stop the bleeding?". 

"I don't know there is a lot of fucking blood.", says Skai as he groans in pain.

"It'll have to do.", says George. George pushes the soft bloody skin around the porturing  bone. He began to wrap the cloth around the bone and skin until the cloth was not soaked in blood. 

"Now how are we going to get me back into the city?", rudely asks Skai.

"I'l try to figure that out.", says George. George runs to the lake and immediately dives in. George sinks in the warm water and then closes his eyes. He waits for his heartbeat to slow down and his mind to slow down, then he begins to absorb the oxygen in the water. He swims back up to the surface and yells,"I know how to do it!". George quickly runs to Skai and then tries to help him up. 

"Please swim fast and don't hurt me even more.", says Skai. 

George lifts Skai and then walks into the water he swims down into the depths taking in the oxygen without breathing. He swims all the way down to the bottom where the stone door is, at an entrance to a cave. George kicks the doors open and falls down to the ground. He closes the doors behind him and runs through the city. He runs to the capital and kicks at the door. The witch opens  the door.

"You did it.", she says.

"Yes, but he needs help."

"It looks like he does, bring him in.".
