They stare out of the damaged hole seeing the city be turned into cinders. They all held their breath as they were in disbelief of the scene they are witnessing. Aufnier goes closer to the opening as his face is in pure despair.
"Madness... this is pure, madness... how can wyverns be here? How is this possible? They are solitary creatures, yet they're so many. They shouldn't be this far down in the southern part of this continent."
"Isn't it obvious Aufnier, it's the Fidelity." As Roth said still looking over the burning city.
"Sir Malvikun... surely you jest. We can't be sure it could be them. Obtaining this many wyverns is impossible."
"You heard what that kid said in the dungeon, right guild masters? He said they have influence across the continent."
"My god, you really think so kid? Aufnier old friend, if this really is possible then we need to be more careful in our planning. I know I was laxed just a moment ago, but you're right. If they attack our city, then I know where they might go during this chaos."
Roth turns towards the guild masters to answer Zacharey's statement, "To the dungeon where the three are being held."
Aufnier's face was lost in defeat. He clenches his fist and asks Roth one last time for assistance, " Sir Malvikun, I ask with a heavy heart but... will you please assist us once more... stop those trying to kill the captives and if possible... help with the extermination of these wyverns."
He bows his head very low bringing himself humility hoping he says yes.
"Aufnier no need to bow ill see what I can do to stop this assassination attempt. Mina, ready to dive back into hell?"
"I am very terrified of this big brother... but you said to me a while back that I will face many deaths and hardships. I accepted it, wherever you go I will follow! I'm not that same helpless little girl you've known before! LET'S DO THIS AND KICK THOSE FIDELITIES BUTT FOR EVERYTHING THEY'VE DONE!"
She hypes herself still with a scared expression but pushes through with an arm raised high above with motivation. Roth smiles to see her very determined even if she is scared. Aufnier and Zacharey look at the two of them in disbelief hearing what she said to him but quickly snapped out of it.
"I... am eternally grateful. The two of us are, we will never forget this. We need to gather up as many as the adventurer's as possible to fight back this threat. Quickly sir Malvikun, head to the dungeon and stop whoever is behind this ploy."
"On it sir. Mina let's go, hurry."
"Oh! Right big brother!"
Roth quickly jumped out the hole and into the brick streets. Mina followed behind but used her light magic as stairs quickly on Roth's trail. They ran as fast as they could past the intense demonic size flames surrounding them. People were in disarray, screaming, some were trying to put their homes out with water magic but failed. The heat was intense, even the buildings that wasn't hit by the wyvern's fire were slowing catching as the fire was spreading all around. A gust of enormous wind blew past them as both looked up to see the massive wyvern flying past them. Some the citizens fell back from the wave of air hitting them. And in doing so the fire spread even faster. As if the wyvern was doing this intentionally.
Roth felt terrible for not helping anyone but figured if they can stop the source whoever is controlling them then the wyverns could stop attacking all together. Suddenly they were stopped in their tracks as one the beast flew and landed aggressively in front of them. Looking at it closer was more terrifying and impressive. The beast was thirty feet long and the wings towered over him as it made its way to Roth snarling and rumbling. Roth stood his ground and pulled out his new sword that the guild master gave him as a gift for helping the new adventurer's. The draconic creature slowly moved in towards them as it growl and showed its massive dagger teeth.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Now do it now!"
A voice can be heard somewhere hidden around them and suddenly barriers held the wyvern in place trapping the beast as it roared and screech aggressively. Light magic users held the beast down nearly five of them casting the same type of barrier that Roth uses. A group of adventurer's charge toward the beast as they climbed on top and proceeded to jab their swords and pikes into the head of the beast. Roth was amazed at their determination and anger they had against the wyvern. He realizes that the group that attacked was some of the adventurers that he had trained.
"Go sir! We'll hold this beast off!" As one brave adventurer said holding onto the horn of the beast's head while still trying to penetrate the thick scales. Roth thanked them and continued to the path of the dungeon. As they reached around the corner to the dungeon the path was being obstructed by large debris and flames. There was no other choice but to trek backwards around to reach it. Frustrated he tries to run fast as he can with Mina still behind him. Mina's stamina is extremely higher now than ever before thanks to his training. Mina's face was still scared but still manages to be next to his side through all the hell flames they have endured. As they make their way back around, they see the adventurer's still struggling to kill the wyvern. It then broke free from the barriers restrain. The wyvern stands on its two hind legs and spread its wing wide open. Its roar was immense as it nearly made their ears bleed from the intensity.
More wyverns can be heard screeching in response to its cry. Roth quickly ran to an adventurer and stole his pike.
"Hey what are you-"
"Just trust me!"
He ran towards the bleeding cut up wyvern and proceed to aim at the chest of the standing beast. Its roars still echoing the glowing orange sky. Roths body began to generate wind focusing all around into his arm. He rushed toward the beast and threw the pike as he yelled aggressively. The pike shot out of Roths grip instantly with the help of his wind magic. The wind guided the pike and made a corkscrew spin, its speed was incredible as only a whistle can be heard as it flew by. The pike clashed deep into the wyvern's chest and penetrated the armor scales. Its high pitch cry tear opens the sky as it fell backwards onto the buildings crushing it under its massive weight. The wyvern did not move, it laid lifeless in the rubble with its belly up. Roth quickly turned around and shouted to all the adventurers.
"New plan! don't fight these things! Your priority is to save as many lives as you can! Go! Now!"
They were stunned seeing him took down that single wyvern but obliged and quickly split up to help anyone who was trapped in any burning buildings. In the distance he sees tiny dots flying out from the castle on the other end of the city. Messenger pigeons flying everywhere warning every one of the horde of wyverns that besieged Ezhine. Roth quickly found an alternate path towards the dungeon, but the path was so small, debris and flames surrounded everywhere. They surrounded themselves with a small barrier from keeping their clothes from catching on fire. Slowly almost crawling through all the rubble they found the entrance of the building. They had to crawl nearly putting their face on the hot stone floor just to enter the nearly collapsing entrance.
The building was empty, luckily, no damage or flames has entered the building. The strong stones made it a fortress from the outside chaos. They quickly made their way down the spiral staircase as echoes and booms vibrated the underground fortress. The plap sounds as their feet made on the wet damp stone floors echoes the walls as they made their way to the first cell, dalek's cell. But Roth was confused, the cell door was open. and inside was nothing but the slab of the stone bed.
"No... no no no no no!"
He rushes to the other cells but were completely empty. He scoured the entire floor but was completely empty. The only remnants and signs of life were the collars and chains of their bonds. Roth clenchs his teeth and fist and punches the wall
"DAMN IT!"
Mina looks at him with worry and tries to comfort him but decided to let him vent. Through all the fire and flames and ignoring the cries of other citizens was all for nothing.
