The fight against the dragon
In a volcano filled land , a group of people were running away in panic and fear . Behind them was a flaming dragon spewing nether flame that burnt several people to crisps .
"Ahhhhh...help us!"
"Save me "
But they were all burnt into ashes . The flaming dragon opened its huge mouth and ate several people in one bite.
"NOOOOOOOOOO "
Seeing his teammates dying, a person wearing black armour was filled with regrets. He looked beside him and there were only six people left alive .
He came with hundred people to slay the flaming dragon but now only six people remained alive and if they didn't do something then they will soon die too .
He could see his teammates were filled with hatred and disappointment in him . They trusted him but he led to their downfall , the strongest warrior was now running away in fear and terror .
But he didn't have any chance , the flaming dragon was strong, strong enough to leave him in despair .
"I led mankind to destruction."
Feeling extreme guilty , remorse , anger and hatred on himself , he wanted to kill himself.
He failed everyone when they trusted him and he couldn't forgive himself for that.
Suddenly when they were running, a women wearing blue dress spoke in calm tone.
"Austin don't be hard on yourself ."
Austin heart shook and he slowly looked at her while running
"N-No-"
She cut his words off and said seriously
"It's foolish to feel guilty now , what done is done . We can't change the past nor future but we can change our present ."
One of the guy who had a singke hand , chuckled softly and said
"You people still have the mood to be romantic? Don't you -"
Before he could say anything, a huge brown scaled claw pressed on him .
Crush !
He was dead !
Austin eyes widened and a blood splashed on his face . The women eyes became red , but they didn't stop running and soon two more people beside them were killed.
"It's okay ! It's okay to be coward when you face something you can't overcome.....it's okay to be alive sometimes.....even though everyone will blame us but what done is done ! Austin, no matter what people say I will always believe in you "
She looked at him and spoke her words from bottom of her heart.
Only three people were running but the last person stopped running and stayed behind.
Austin heart sank, he looked behind and his heart felt like crushing.
"What are you doing Barry? Keep running we are getting near to the end point . "
Barry , the middle aged man wearing a tattered clothes and a long spear in his hands , slowly turned around and spoke
"Captain, meeting you was the greatest thing happened in my life. Farewell, i will bring you some time."
He began to rush at the flaming dragon and soon a terrifying battle started.
Austin eyes became red and he clutched the long sword in his hand . The women beside him remained silent but her eyes were already on tears .
After few minutes later ,
"I OFFER MY SOUL AND LIFE , O MIGHTY LORD BRING YOUR JUDGEMENT TO THIS WORLD "
Suddenly they heard a loud voice and next second a giant fire ball fell behind them. Next second a large destruction took place and the volcano was itself began to cover in the raging flame .
"The self destruction of Barry..."
The women muttered in despair.
Suddenly a angry Roar was heard behind them and a intense heat rushed at them and soon they felt a scorching flame from their backs .
"It's the dragon's breath ...no Austin!"
Bzzzzzzzz!
The nether flame of the angered flaming dragon covered both Austin and the women .
"Huff....hufff !"
Austin who thought he was dead , was shocked to feel him being alive . He suddenly felt a gentle breeze from behind , he should have died and the flame should have burnt him but not only he was alive , he even felt a cool Breeze coming from behind him.
He slowly looked back and saw the her , standing behind him , covering him with her little frame from the the nether flame . Her whole body was burnt beyond recognition and the once beautiful maiden was now turned into a fading ash .
Her cyan clothes were fluttering slightly and it's the only thing that didn't burn from the nether flame .
"Don't ...hate yourself!....we will.... forgive....you...i....never going..to forget....you ....I'm..... sorry."
The flaming dragon claw steeped on her and it's shockwave sent Austin flying.
Crash !
Austin with dull eyes stop up from the ground, his mouth began to spill blood .
The dragon breathed lightly, it's eyes focused on the puny human . It spoke in a hoarse voice that shook Austin
"How sad ! your comrades were dying , screaming , begging for help ....yet you their captain ...only ran like a coward !"
As it said it looked at him mockingly.
..."they will hate you ....oh right ! I'm wrong ....they forgave you ....you humans are very complicated creature aren't you ?"
Arthur in his black armour stood up , he gripped his sword with both hands and slowly began to walk towards the flaming dragon.
His steps slow and unsteady, the sword tip produced a screeching sound when he was dragging behind him.
He slowly looked at the dragon's eyes and spoke in cold voice
"No matter how they forgive me , i won't forgive myself for what I did .....i failed them ...."
He was now close to the dragon .
".....the most important thing now is to avenge them !"
As he said , he charged at the dragon and soon a tough fight broke out between them .
This fight was going to decide the future of mankind. If Austin lost then , the mankind will be destroyed by the game .
As time passed , a cold voice rang out in the end .
GAME FAILED !
THR HUMANITY HAS FAILED TO ACHIEVE VICTORY ! LET THE APOCALYPSE BEGIN .
