They say than when you're about to die, your whole life flashes before you.

So...I wonder why I'm not having those flashes they're talking about?

I mean, I am about 99% sure that I'm gonna die.

Why?

Because there is a dragon in front of me.

Yes. I'm not joking.

A dragon.

Creatures that were supposed to be just a myth. But there certainly is one in front of me.  

A big ass dragon with glass scales. And it certainly is looking at me. Yes it is. Because it's huge head is turned towards me and it's blue eyes is staring right at my soul.

My fight or flight response is definitely giving me choices and is practically screaming at me to fucking decide already. But, if I fight, well, I would surely die. Because how the hell would I fight a freaking dragon? And, if I ran, I am very confident that it can outrun me and even if it didn't bother to chase me, it can just breath fire and roast my ass.

So either way, I'm dead meat.

Ha.

So now, I'm wondering why I'm not having flashes about my life when I am sure that I'm gonna die. And I'm just standing here outside the house, having a staring contest with a dragon.

Hell yeah.

I know I'm gonna die in the end so at least I'll win this staring contest.  

So, about a minute and a half passed and then the dragon blinked. I was about to grin because of my victory when it started to move towards me.

Oh shit.

I'm going to die.

It opened it's mouth and then...

"You're going with me, thief."

It was the voice of the guy with the blue hair. So, he's a dragon shifter...?

"Wait what?! What do you mean 'go with you'?" I asked incredulously.

You might think I'm crazy. Me, a mere human, is refusing a Dragon Shifter. A Dragon Shifter that is currently in his dragon form and can kill me without exerting real effort.

But I'm not. Really. Sometimes, I just forget the task of keeping  myself alive. Like now.

The dragon growled.

"I have to protect my people but I am not letting you go until you return what's mine!"

"Huh? What are you-"

Before I could finish my sentence, something cold and wide wrapped around me and when I looked down,  it was the dragons tail that was wrapped around my torso and before I could say anything else, I was being lifted off the ground and was tossed on top of the dragons back and the dragon started flapping it's wings and in seconds we were off the ground.

I wanted to demand to him to put me down but I was busy holding on his scales so that I wont fall and die, obviously.

But surprisingly, I settled fairly well on his back though I do need to hold tight unless I wanted to die of course.

Then I realized that we were headed towards the three dragons. Shit

"Hey hey hey! Are you headed towards those three dragons?! If you're gonna go and join their party well I'm wont so let me down!"

"Jump down if you so desire to go back to the ground. But I will never let you go until you return what's mine!" He growled.

Then he suddenly dived down and I felt heat on top of my head. I looked up and it was like there was a wall of fire on top of me. I could feel the heat and I was sweating.

Fuck.

That was real.

I almost died.

I almost died by fire.

Shit.

I opened my mouth to say something again when the dragon that I'm riding on growled again.

"Get lost! This is my land! My people!"

"No! They are mine! They belong to me!" The dragon with violet scales shrieked out.

"I own them! Mine!" The second dragon with green scales shouted in fury.

"The humans belong to me! Only to me! Those who steal things that don't belong to them should die! Die!" The third dragon with red scales declared and suddenly she opened her mouth and started breathing fire on us.

Then it went to shit.

The three of them started roaring at each other and tried to roast each other. Then I felt his scales move, like something was rolling inside his body and then he was breathing fire as well. But his was a different from the rest. His fire was clear. No color. Transparent. It wasn't orange or red like the other three. His was clear and the only indication that it was there was the rippling movements of the fire and the heat that I felt. It was just clear.

So strange.

There was another roar and I was almost burned alive again then I found my voice.

"Hey you stupid dragon! Let me down! I will surely die with the four of you constantly spitting at each other and I'm not a fan of being on fire! Hey listen to me! You-whoa! Where the fuck did that arrow came from?!"

I looked down and fucking shit, it's the military. And not just the military. The special squad that was made because of a paranoid king fearing the possible existence of dragons. Wearing red armor suits with a dragon emblem on their chests.

Ignis Venator.

"Hey Dragon Shifter! See those? Those are elites! They're dragon hunters! They've been trained since they were kids on how to eliminate a dragon! And they are coming to kill all of you! You're gonna be overwhelmed! You have to run away!"

"No! I will fight!"

The dragons continued fighting among themselves, ignoring the soldiers below ad burning the town in the process. Then suddenly, the green dragon just disappeared and what replaced it was an unconscious man who was quickly falling onto the ground. Something was off and I didn't like it.

I looked down and there was this one soldier among the elites. She was wearing a violet cloak and she was facing her palm on us and around her was some giant floating symbols on the air and it looked like they were glowing. Then her mouth moved and I realized she was chanting something then a pale violet sphere-like thing shot out from one of the symbol surrounding her and hit the red dragon and it howled in pain.

Then I realized, it must be magic.

She's a Dragon Rider.

The last one.

And from what I remembered, a  Dragon Rider is the only one who can use magic that can completely stop a dragon without the use of the metal mortem and can make them change back to a human.

And if I'm right, that Dragon Rider below is using magic that can change the Shifters back into a human. And if she hits this Shifter that I'm currently riding on, he's gonna change back into his human form and we'll both fall to the ground and at this height, I am sure that I'm gonna die.

Shit.

"Hey Shifter! Stop being stupid! Take the chance to run away now while they're attacking the other dragons! If you stay, you'll get knocked down too like that green dragon!"

"Oh? Are you concerned of me?"

That made my eye twitch in annoyance.

"In your fucking dreams! I'm only concerned that if you turn into a human again and we both fall I'm gonna fall too and I'm gonna die! And I have no intentions of dying today, you dumb shit!"

He chuckled but then there was a pained shriek coming from him and then the glass scales that I was holding on was breaking and then all I could see was broken glass then it all vanished and I saw him again.

The guy with the blue hair.

In his human form.

Covered in wounds.

And he was unconscious.

And we were falling.

Fast.

Godammit.
