A DRAGON TALE The big fight.
By dusk that same day they had already arrived at the town where Raisel had lived with the young woman and her two kids. They currently sat in the tavern where Dragomir had frequented. On their way here she had stopped by at their house to greet them and gave them some money which they had appreciated. “So you come here very often?” “Came”, he corrected, “I even have a friend here” Raisel scanned the room, using her sense of reasoning to evaluate the kind of people that were seated, “You do have a questionable choice of place to pick out your friends” He followed her eyes, “No, not these people, the crowd is made up of people with really questionable characters. I’m only friends with the bartender…”, he looked around, “...who is not here currently but if he comes I’ll do the introductions” She nodded in understanding, “So let’s go over all the things we know about...” A loud raucous laughter drowned her voice. She turned to see two fat men talking loudly. She looked at Dragomir
A DRAGON TALE The Seductress
They ran as fast as their legs could carry them, running at very high speed. They could hear the men charging towards them from behind. They took a curve in the other direction and Dragomir tripped against a stone, both of them falling to the ground. He landed first and caught her before she fell, so she landed on him. She tried to stand up immediately, however he pulled her closer preventing her from doing so. Just then they heard voices above them, “Where did they go?” “Can’t see them anywhere”, came the reply. “Let’s go back, Ryder needs our help” They stayed put till they heard the sounds of their feet as they retreated. They stared at each other not saying a word before Raisel got up from him. They walked towards their lodge holding hands. When they got to their lodge, it was then exhaustion kicked in, the effect of the alcohol, the running and the fight they were involved in. They had checked in late so they had gotten a lodge with a single room, so they had to share a bed
A DRAGON TALE Count Simon.
“It’s an elite crowd”, she remarked. “Just as we expected”, Dragomir said showing no interest whatsoever. She peered at him, “Lose the attitude Dragomir, we have to blend in” A butler passed with a tray containing glasses of wine, Raisel took a glass and sipped, “I think I’m ready for all the fun tonight” “I can’t say the same”, he muttered under his breath. They walked around a bit, surveying the crowd trying to make small talk with a few people here and there, making sure that they saw the flashy jewellery that they had on. They stood together, both nursing a glass of wine, Raisel looked up at the large banner that they had missed when they walked in, and she read out loud, “Entering a new era of wealth, power and fame” “He is extra”, Dragomir shook his head. Raisel managed a light chuckle, “I want this to be over soonest, where is he?” “Trust me I want the same thing”, he muttered. “Where do you think he would be? Should I go meet with him, that would be straightforward fo
A DRAGON TALE Jealous or not?
Dragomir knew he was ruining Raisel’s plan and that if he wasn’t careful he could land her in a big mess but he couldn’t help himself. He hated to see her… Then an all too familiar tune came on, he knew this as a result of the numerous balls he had attended in his whole life. He pulled the blonde lady along who for some reason loved clinging on to him. They stood just a few yards from Simon and Raisel and when the time for the switch came, he didn’t hesitate, he took Raisel’s hand before she ventured off or before another man laid his finger on her. She was squished against him, “Dragomir what are you doing?” she asked. “I do not play the piano now do I?” “He was just about to spill”, she whisper yelled. “I know”, he appeared lost like he was calculating something. He pushed her towards Simon just in time to catch the blondie and this time when Simon looked at him he flashed him a smile. Raisel entered into the waiting arms of Simon, “Oh it’s such a mystical creation of course y
A DRAGON TALE You are Special
Dragomir stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers directly above the pile of woods and dead leaves, fire enveloped it immediately, “I still got it”, he yelled. They were currently in the woods, they sat around the blazing fire. They had managed to narrowly escape the library without drawing the attention of the love birds or as he liked to put it, lust birds. They had spent the night and the following day in their beds asleep and only decided to come out now. Raisel stared on at the fire in disbelief, “There’s no getting used to that, to the fact that you are dragon or to any of this at all” “Tune it a notch down Raisel, I feel like we deserve a break” “That’s the problem we don’t, we just came back from Islandia and all we did was rest…”, she argued. “Along the line, we did find out the heart of magic's former abode before it went missing”, Dragomir interjected. “That is inconsequential to our quest” “Not entirely inconsequential”, Dragomir replied, “It did help us elimin
A DRAGON TALE Fear
Votigern and his men rode into the kingdom of Avalon, making a dust trail as they rode in numbers. People scampered away like rabbits at the sight of them. Votigern inhaled deeply, he liked the smell of fear, especially if it was his orchestration. Votigern rode in front leading his 20-man army. He raised his hand and they all drew to an abrupt halt. “Do we stop here master?”, Cillin asked. Votigern shot him a deadly glare, “No fool! Keep riding, ride through their houses and on their roofs if you deem fit”, he shook his head in disbelief before alighting from his very large horse. He stood silently staring off into nothing. The wind rippled through his large black coat and hair. He finally turned to the men and gestured for them to come forward, “Get the weapons” Not long after, the clanging noise of the weapon was the only noise around…” Someone tapped him on the shoulder, he turned to see Nero, one of his trusted allies and fiercest warrior. “What do we seek here in Avalon Lo
A DRAGON TALE Sir Dickard Boobs
They arrived at the docks, there were three ships and a couple of boats tied to the docks, people hovered about, well-dressed, obviously travellers. They were also dressed well, Dragomir was happy because they had picked his favourite persona. They were travelling as a rich couple. Raisel had explained they needed to deflect whatever attraction to them whatsoever, they could not afford unnecessary attention and they were bound to get unnecessary attention if they showed up, him dressed in sleeveless leather cloth, snug fitting pants with boots, a sword carved by a dragon slung at his back and her dressed in a leather ensemble, knives visibly tucked everywhere, her sword hanging on her side. They had advertently chosen the normal couple, it was one disguise they seemed to pull off well. They could not travel with weapons but Raisel on insistence had packed her knives, alongside other essentials. They couldn’t tell how long they'd be gone before they reached the mount isles but on esti
A DRAGON TALE Ahoy matey!
Allerick and his men rode through the town of Carran, “We will stop by the Vanor mansion for a few days. We will be able to feed our horses and rest properly”, he announced. When they got to the high towering mansion, they rode in and were given the much-needed attention and Allerick couldn’t be more glad that he was treated like a Prince again. It was towards evening after a well-deserved rest and food, clothed in a white silk robe did he finally see Count Simon Vanor. Simon strolled in leisurely, “Prince” Allerick turned around, “Count” They burst into laughter and enveloped each other in a hug. “Brother”, Allerick called Simon. They had been friends since childhood. Allerick had spent most of his formative years at the Vanor mansion. “What brings you here Allerick?” “A very long story Simon, you could say adventure?” Simon stared at him in wonder, “If I didn’t know you I’d have believed you” Allerick chuckled, “How are things with you, Simon?” “Oh the usual, throw extrava
