Bab 28: Dragon and Danger
"My lady.."
"Mira let's go from here." Mira cane ran towards her from their tent.
"What is going on?" Brandon also came with their human soldiers. Silja looked around and saw her people were safe with her including the human girl she exchanged with Gwen. All of them encircled Silja in the middle and started to run in the safe direction. It was a night of full moon and which was blessings.
Gwen was so afraid as she ran out of her tent. While some of the people were trying to calm down Gwen was freaking out and crying like no tomorrow.
"Lady Silja, this way with me," Henry, who was trying his best to keep people calm and make sure none of the ladies Silja and Gwen got hurt, came running towards her.
"Okay." Silja nodded her head.
"Sir Henry, help me," Gwen yelled and Henry saw one of the young dragons standing just right before Gwen. All the maids and soldiers ran away and the girl was on the floor crawling back.
With a rumbling growl, the dragon swooped its head and broke the tent that was just beside him before spewing fire to burn it down.
After destroying everything around the beast locked its eyes on the small creature (aka Gwen) crawling in front of him and yelling at top of her lungs.
His glaring orange eyes shone with anger and the creature lifted his leg to catch her.
Gwen, who was trying her best to make as much distance as possible, froze as she saw his snake-like eyes looking down on her. And then he lifted his big paw which was bigger than her half of body.
As the claw closed down her heart stopped for a second.
"Ahhh….." She closed her eyes and yelled loudly.
But before the dragon could touch the girl he was picked by the tail and thrown away by another large dragon.
"My lady," one of the soldiers held Gwen and shut her mouth, who was still crying at the top of her lungs. He dragged her away in a safe place.
Henry and another soldier who could turn in their dragon form have started to tame the wild dragons.
As part of the army, they knew that all of them were all trainees and thus they didn't want to hurt them and also save the other people.
Henry grabbed its tail and banged its head on the tree. Which resulted in the tree falling and the dragon turned unconscious.
One down, three others have left.
They don't know why these dragons were out like this and attacking the people so it was best to knock them down without hurting much.
The other good dragon was fighting with another one while Henry flew behind the larger one.
The smallest among them was still wreaking havoc. Some dragon men who could not shift were trying to control him using spears. But their efforts were turning the little guy more and more furious. When he got more furious he spewed fire which didn't work on the soldiers thankfully but then he started to use his tails, claws, and mouth to throw, swoop and kill them.
In just a blink of an eye, he killed more than five to seven soldiers, and the remaining ones were injured, who fled for their lives.
Silja and her troop were running in the jungle and trying to find a safe place.
Till now they had cut a good distance and there were no dragons.
But suddenly a large dragon Landed in front of them.
No, not just one but two. Apart from the initial four dragons, many others had also escaped the barrack and were flying in the forest.
One of them was larger than the previous one. And one was small, just a kid. But for the humans who have never seen a dragon before it was nothing more than a death decree.
Silja's heart skipped a beat as she saw a gigantic beast snarling at them.
"Run…" Silja managed to say and everyone started to run in different directions.
"Princess with me." Brandon offers her his hand. Both of them started to run. But suddenly when Silja looked behind she saw the human girl (slave) wasn't able to run and was falling behind.
"Wait…" Silja broke free from Bran's hand and started to run back.
"No, my lady…" Bran yelled but Silja didn't stop.
"Hold my hand." Silja helped her up and held her hand. She was very much injured and was not physically capable of running as fast as others.
Silja was about to reach where Bran was but suddenly one of the dragons landed between them.
"Ah…" a small cry escaped Silja's lips. The distance between them was very little.
Without thinking much she just turned around and started to run in another direction. They choose the way we're trees were dense, so the dragon can not follow them with his large body.
But the timing was so bad that she tripped on her gown and fell.
Silja cursed the long hem of the gown. Why didn't she wore normal pants? But it was not time to think about things like that.
"My lady," the girl tried to help her up but before that, the Dragon caught up with them.
He swung his tail and hit the tree. With two strong swings, the tree fell.
Silja saw it and pushed the girl away.
"Ahh…" a painful cry escaped her lips as the tree branch fell on the lower half of Silja's body.
On top of that, the dragon was not done yet. He opened his large jaw showing his sharp and long teeth, ready to burn Silja alive.
Silja saw his glaring teeth and the ball of fire in his throat. In that one second, she could hear her heartbeat which was about to stop anytime.
"Where is my power to destroy things?" Silja cried inside her head.
Should I put my hand on it? Ohh no no he will turn madder like that horse maybe. Thoughts were flooding in her head like a broken river to find a way to save herself.
"Listen, I'm not your enemy. I will not hurt you." Silja raised her both hands in the air in a surrender position. Her voice was soft like a small bee. But she was sure he could hear her as the dragon possessed extraordinary hearing abilities.
Seeing that the dragon had still not made his move, Silja became braver. On the other hand, the small guy was looking at her hazel eyes which were watery due to the pain in her body.
"I'm here to marry your prince. If you kill me, who's gonna marry him? And if he didn't marry then you won't be able to get a prince for the next generation right," at that point she didn't know what she was blabbering but she was sure that the small dragon kid could hear and understand her.
"Be a good boy okay. I can be your friend if you want. Good boy doesn't kill their friends." At this point, she has thrown away all reasonings.
Silja tried again and saw him closing his jaw.
Silja took a shaky breath as the glaring fireball from his throat disappeared.
But suddenly he whipped his head to the side where another dragon passed by flying. He screeched loudly looking at the small dragon.
That's all.
Finished.
It took him just one glance to get back to his ragged self and forget all the blabbering of Silja.
He shook his head rapidly like a wild beast and next second opened his mouth.
Silja's eyes widened and she even forgot to close them.
She saw the fire emerging from his throat and he sprayed it in her direction.
