As morning came to the camp of the six armies, so did chaos. Voices of protest and anger, from all sides. I stood some distance away watching, as they all woke up to the flags of each army shredded and ruined in front of other camp’s sections. Chaos was to follow with the high tensions which I had been brewing over the past couple of days. This is the start of what will be the end.

A stir from the commander tents as each commander came out and looked at the chaos which had started. If I am going to put the nail in the coffin it's going to be now. I rushed from my cover and cut down the commander of a different army than the one which I was wearing, causing the chaos to erupt even further.

Sprinting, I didn't look back. I could tell there were people chasing me down. If I want to make it out alive, I have to escape from here, and not get caught up in the chaos. The screaming voices and violence got louder behind me as I continued my sprint for the wall of the camp. I need to escape.

Flying I eventually came across our home. I didn't see any humans attacking it. Which means they didn't start marching yet then. If that is the case why then did we return so quickly? I was so confused. She seemed like we needed to rush back here immediately. Then I saw something, which shocked me.

I spotted the armies in chaos. They were attacking each other, and the ground was turning red. Bodies were piling up. The yelling and chasing of metal was ringing so loud I could hear it in the sky. I was so shocked, but then something caught my attention, I saw the seventh army marching toward this field. This was complete chaos.

“Hey Aiko, what should we do?” I asked her.

“Save Hickory!” She yelled.

I was surprised, I didn't know what she meant. Hickory should not need to be saved. That was till I saw one person running away from other humans. I saw this human throw fire at their feet, and knew immediately that it was Hickory.

I held onto Aiko, and dove down toward Hickory. Moving Aiko to one claw, I opened my other, which I promptly used to scoop up Hickory in a swift motion. After grabbing him I lifted myself back up to the air. I got to a decent height, where their spears and arrows failed to reach us before getting some distance.

“Thanks for the save, Lost!” Hickory chuckles from below me.

“What were you doing?! You could've gotten yourself killed!” I yelled at him.

“Not the first time that's happened huh? Wonder if this will be a regular thing for us?” He responded smiling and chuckling.

I looked underneath me at him, and I could see him grinning like a fool with some blood smear on him. I couldn't help but feel like he is still a hatchling, when he also can act much older for his age sometimes. I was still frustrated at how reckless he can be. It makes me wonder if this is what it would be like to have a brother. I wonder what it would be like to have a boyfriend. I had my thoughts interrupted, when a loud horn sounded behind us.

Looking back, I saw that the new red army, the 7th army, had arrived to the others. I watched as the armies started to stop the infighting, and began to regather. I cursed my luck, I hoped that it would continue. Seeing the humans gathering and cleaning up, I knew something had to be done now.

I summoned up the ice mana around me and in large stones I hurled them at the camp, causing more chaos to erupt. I tried my best at targeting large groups of the humans, causing them to scatter more. I noticed that they were protecting a group of oddly dressed humans, as each held onto this weird circle object.

I watched as the humans started chanting, and curiously I could see mana sucked in toward the object, it did not single out mana, each individual orb was taking every mana around it to fuel what it was going to do. I could feel the amount of mana which it had consumed from the air. I knew immediately, this was the dragon slayer. I tucked in my wings, and with a quick dive to gain speed, I soured away from the camp. I am sure that it has a range of what they could see. If I am too far gone, they cant hit me.

“Lost, why are we running away?” Hickory yelled from below.

“That is the dragon killer. Slayer thing. If my guess is correct they can only hit what they see.” I replied.

“That's why you're getting distance.” Aiko finished.

“Yes, if I can get distance I can set you two down. With you two on the ground, I can fly more freely and attack better. I can still take care of most of them myself, but not if I am having to protect the both of you.” I told them.
