The ground was scorched in flames 

from the melted castle to the burning houses everything had been now devoid of life 

burning corpses had created a putrid scent in the air

despite the overwhelming losses that had occurred on this day, victory had came all too bittersweet

I kept staring at this scene endlessly looking down upon the man who we have subjugated

Orgoth the devourer 

There was a time when peace between nations had been sustained for over a hundred years and yet that all had came crashing down when the greatest threat to the continent had came in the form of one singular man

In a flash he had usurped the power of the previous demon king and started to spread his tyranny upon the world starting with my home Astela

In response each nation had collectively made an elite squadron comprised of heroes to take on this looming threat. 

From the humans a champion hailing from a faraway place called earth named Tora

The elves had sent their mightiest spiritualist from escalade, Xilphine 

And finally the mystical, wise, and dignified dragons such as myself presiding over Astela, Omrick Windholm the king of dragons

The demon king was dying at out feet but looking down upon him in what used to be a grand throne room had left a terrible taste in my mouth

"Hehehehehe" that vile demons laugh had echoed throughout the room

"I don't know what's funnier the dead left in my path or the fact that you think you've all won despite the sacrifice"

"What is that bastard talking about" (Omrick)

"Ignore him it's probably the delusion setting in"(Tora)

432 sword wounds 957 arrows wounds 57 high level spells had been dealt to him. even I wouldn't be able to handle that bombardment

"Lets just finish this as my master once said always confirm your kill"(Xilphine)

Xilphine had pulled out a dagger while walking to the dying demon king and I had polymorphed into a human form so I could do the same until I felt a strange magical energy had emerged from behind us

Blood had splurged out of my mouth, as a sword had pierced through my heart and rage had filled my eyes as I turn my head to see my best friend and comrade had been the one to try  and take my life. 

"YOU.. YOU DAMN SNA-"(omrick)

"sprit ensample light restriction"(Xilphine)

Chains made of pure light had taken my unawares binding me 

"y-you too"

"Oh no the king of dragons seemed to have sacrificed himself  to take down Orgoth the devourer"(Tora)

With a mischievous and vile smile on his face he mocked my legacy in death

"But don't worry the hero will save the day"(Tora)

He pulled out his sword and took aim at my neck

"Like she said always confirm the kill"(Tora)

I was too tired after fighting the demon kind and this bastard seemed to have save his strength for this.

Was this the end for me did my entire kingdom go up in flames for this.

'NO I REFUSE TO LET IT END LIKE THIS'

With the last bit of my remaining strength I had used brute force to break free of the chains binding me

I caught his sword with my hand leaving a huge gash but it didn't matter to me and gathered all the life force I had left in my body for one final attack.

"BLAST BREATH" (Omrick)

A scorching hot ray of fire had descended upon that wicked bastard encompassing the entire castle leaving a wide ravine and yet through the ashes and the flames he emerged still alive, but his arm had been missing

'That was everything I had left, but he stays standing'

"YOU COULDN'T JUST SHUT UP AND DIE HUH 

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK IM GONNA ENJOY HACKING YOU UP" Tora)

He kept talking for what it felt like hours, but I filtered it all out. 

I was going in and out of consciousness, but at least I knew I had the last laugh

 I looked down to a red pendant my mother had given to me

It was made out of pure blood diamonds encrusted in gold and silver and engraved on it was the symbol of a dragon. It was my marking as a hero

'A hero who couldn't protect his people isn't a hero at all... in the end I'm just but another failure'

All of the sudden it had lit up in a blinding light and the gem had started to disintegrate.

'Figures that the only thing I care for is dying too'

I turned my head to see my sworn enemy Orgoth too was also dying maybe it wasn't so bad

And with that my final breath
