(Honestly, I give up on names of dragon species)
Zero hid behind a stone pillar, Spark clutching onto his tail. Two Deathsongs rushed past to join the ongoing battle. The plan was going surprisingly well, the rest were fighting a bunch of guards with the help of some rebels. Spark apparently knows the castle very well so was leading them to Scarlet's quarters. The first step is the get the amber of Widewing, they've tried everything. From careful bursts of fire and even his... Saliva, nothing works. So there must be a way in Scarlet's room, after all .
''Which way is Scarlet's quarters, again?" She pointed in a random direction. Zero looked around before rushing towards the next pillar, asking, looking, rushing, hiding, repeat.
They finally reached Scarlet's room. She... Wasn't there? I kinda thought she'd be there...
It was a grand room, with many gems and decorations with one big bed-like nest in the middle. On her bed to the side, there was a glowing red, amber circle that looked like Pac-man attached to a rope with a button attached to it.
How did she even make that? Or get this? Spark looked terrific.
''Is that it?-" Zero tried to ask before getting cut off by A Spark rushing forward to grab the device. It was a dumb move, but she still managed to get the thing working and saw of the amber on her snout.
''I-I can speak!'' she cried out in joy, though her voice was still pretty soft.(For those who are wondering why her voice is normal instead of hoarse and Sour. That's because 1. Dragon anatomy in this world aka my top excuse, 2. She just had the muzzle of a couple hours ago. )
''Okay, that was pretty stupid. It could've been a trap!'' Zero hissed.
''Well.. It wasn't! But I'm sorry... I'm just glad to have this stupid thing off...''
"Now, next step."
"Find Scarlet's hidden room. I overhear her talking about it... but now time to find it."
It's behind the nest.
"Who are you?!" Zero growled. Was this a guard? Spark looked at him, surprised, and slight hints of worry.
No need to shout, just think.
Fine, but like I said, who. are. you?
The name is Sol, The first of Ambrose, otherwise know as the guy trying to do his job and convince you to join Scarlett's folly, and since I'm interested in you I'm going to help you with anything you need!
The heck is Ambrose?
Eh... I'll explain after this whole "saving the Island" is done, former human.
You know..?
Of course I know! Every time a Soul like me get sang into a dragon, we know everything about them after a while. Still can't believe ol' Scarletto was from a book!
Sang? Like when Scarlett sang to me.
Yep! That's how Scarlet's suppose to mind control dragons like a Bewilderbeast, we get in and anytime the song goes we work our magic, Aka, taking control and doing whatever Scarlet commands. Most of us won't or can't talk to the dragon. But since I'm the first, I'm a very special exception.
"Zero.. Are you okay..? You've been staring at the wall for the past few minutes"
You can always talk to me!
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I think the room is behind the nest."
"Really? Let's check." Spark and I headed over to the stone wall behind the nest. She leaned against the wall. "There's nothing here-"
They were falling. The wall had dissipated into thin air before they feel down a long tunnel. When they finally got to the bottom, it was hard, it was soft. A lining of thick moss broke their fall! The cave was beautiful, luminescent fungi were everywhere.
Zero heard a giggle from the end of the cave. There she was, Scarlet, laughing and giggling, circling a glowing blue fungi lined up in a strange peace symbol.
.... TO BE CONTINUED!
(HAH! NOT TODAY AUTHOR/ME!)
''Oh, what a surprise! You're here already!'' Scarlet approached them, slowly, like the menace she is. Zero immediately stood up, his amber was ready if he needed. Flare almost ducked behind his tail but instead gulped and stepped forward.
(I've been working on mainly 1st person stories so I'm going to switch to first person for the rest of the story, just warning you guys. And, apologize, I've been spelling Scarlet's name wrong till this chapter.)
"Uh.. S-Scarlet, we are h-here to face you for all the evil things you have done!" Spark stuttered, still holding on to me.
''Hahaha! HAHHAHA! You think that will happen?! My gaurd's probably apprehended you little friends already. It's over, my kingdom has fallen once, and I'm never letting my kingdom fall out of my grasp ever again!"
She surged forward, trying to pounce on top of us, but I narrowly dived out of the way, dragging poor Spark with me.
I heard Scarlet start singing that cursed song. He about to strengthen his mind but, nothing happen except the glazing of Spark's eyes. She suddenly chomped down hard on my tail. I instinctively whipped my tail, sending Spark flying towards the wall.
Aww... Poor Spark...
What was that?! Why aren't controlled.. O-or even feeling fuzzy?
Oh, that? Remember when I said I had extra powers. Yeah, usually a Soul can't really stop it, nor really care, but I'm special! Hah, look, Scarlet's trying harder to control you!
I look back to see Scarlet concentrating so hard on me while singing louder. I watch, stifling a laugh. This was very funny, to me and Sol at least. Soon enough, she roared in anger and defeat, glaring at me.
"HOW DID YOU?!- Never mind, you'll die by my claws instead, even if you live long enough, my guards would be hear to finish you off." She giggled, "You don't know how long it took to build this! First I had to find Ambrose, make a deal with him, then wait excruciating long time to make peace and teach the Deathsongs and the Changewings how my old world. Then convince Ambrose to make this castle aswell as to make dragon land on my Island if the pass by it. Then gather enough dragons to start this... If you really think I could get defeated again?! No, I learned, I learned to patch up all the leaks. Now, my Deathgaurd will be here soon, and I have not fought in a long time. Shall we."
I knew something would save me. Pretty much all reincarnates are main characters, I would not die. So all I had to do was fight.
(Don't blame me if this is bad. I hate writing fights >:[ )
I lunged first, spitting some amber at her snout. That giving me enough time to scratch her left side, leaving a thin scratch mark. Scarlet had finished dissolving the amber with her saliva had gave me a deeper cut.
It hurt, it hurt like crazy. This was even worse than when Sephra had first gotten captured by the Dragon hunters. But I must last long enough till help arrived, but how? I was weaker than the average Deathsong, even if I was faster and smaller and.. Right, I'm dumb, I have powers!
I dodged left and right, waiting till Scarlet got on all fours, spit some amber in my claws, and threw at all of her legs and snout. I made the amber sticky quickly, then started sculpting some messy blobs, Spiders, and to top it, a massive Blob-Spider just as Scarlet broke free.
Scarlet gasped in surprise as the Blobs, Spiders, and massive on charged at her, crawling on her and biting her. She tried to shake them off but they stuck on like glue. Anytime she'd eat one, I made them explode it gooey amber, sticking her mouth closed for a little bit.
Even with all of the Spiders and Blobs, they dwindled down in number and even the Massive Spider was broken apart. An the end, her body were littered with scratches, bite marks, pieces of amber. Her face was crazed.
"SEEEE?? I always win, now! I ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN, I ALWAYS-"
Suddenly she fell flat on the floor and there behind her, was concerned Strider, a smirking White'scales, a shivering Crimson, and a Deathsong.
