Chapter 4 : Cyrus

"Can we just sack the place now?"

Mulfag was such an arrogant, ignorant, and even rebellious dragon.The only reason Cyrus didn't fry and eat him was that he had fearsome looks and attitude and enough brute strength to rival Rubiellin himself. With red scales, a massive size, empty black eyes , and built in adamant plating he was a frightening sight.


"We have to wait for Illeelo to tell us when the castle is about empty, or else the plan will fail and you might be killed," said Valerina.She was a bit too gentle for Cyrus's liking but she was beautiful and could settle any disputes among them.Few dragon have golden scales and far fewer have golden scales and lavender eyes.

"I'm starving" complained Scourge. Cyrus had no idea why he left he scrawny flea bag alive.He was a waste of food and did nothing but complain.A yellow hat might be a good improvement.Oh, he was their thief and assassin, so that was why he's still alive.

"Shut up, you lump of ork carrion. We came here to rule Jangar, not to get a meal," snapped Talmera. Cyrus liked her more than the others. With lavender scales and sky blue eyes she was also beautiful,but not as much as Valerina.

A gray figure appeared in the distance. It came near and landed. Then it spoke.

"Dark Lord, we are ready."

Cyrus turned his scales black from their natural turquoise.However he could not change his eye color. They would remain the golden color that chilled blood and danced in young drakelings nightmares. He was the only dragon with golden eyes.

The group leaped from were they were perched and Illeelo lead the way.They took a right turn , gathered speed and took off. After a few hours the fortress of the dragon king came into sight.They flew right past it for they were going to enter a secret passage.



Cyrus spotted a pair of guards. He sent Mulfag and Talmera to dispatch them. Mulfag swooped down and ate one of them in one bite. The other one was about to let out a scream but Talmera descended behind him and tore out his throat.She than collected the spilled blood.

Cyrus sent Scourge to scout the area.When he returned he told them the coast was clear.They then continued to the passages entrance.

The entrance was a hidden by a boulder that Mulfag easily removed.The party (minus Mulfag because of his size) then entered the hole that was reveled. Inside they found themselves in a long tunnel. After following it for about a thousand meters they came to two branches off the main tunnel and Illeelo lead them done the right tunnel.

After a few such crossings Cyrus told them to stop.He than sent Scourge to check what lay around the bend.They then heard a thump and a thud and Scourge returned, saying the coast was clear. They went around the corner and saw the body of a fallen guard.

They continued on without too much guard slaying, five more guards to be exact. Two more were unwarily clubbed by Scourge, two had their throats slit by Talmera, and one had to be gored by Cyrus himself.

Eventually they made it to a door.Scourge opened it a crack,poked his head through, and screamed. Then there was a thud and a thump, this time it was Scourges body that made the thump.The door opened and in the doorway was a great knight. He charged at Valerina and stuck the the side of her head, knocking her unconscious. He than prepared to due the same to Cyrus but stopped when he saw the golden eyes.He than let out a roar and charged at full tilt.Before he could make it Cyrus let out a jet of wicked green flames and torched him. When Scorge and Valerina recovered the group wet through the door.
