Chapter 11
He began to wonder if he was going to have to run all the way back home, until he spotted the massive slepneir, obviously left for him. The stunning eight hooved horse was completely armored, with steel and gold pattern decoration and wearing extremely durable leather, with monster scales sewn into it. These covered its back hind quarters, and every part not fully protected by the metal.
The horse was an absolutely massive beast, standing over 35 feet tall, pitch black, with one silver, and one gold eye. The reigns were even engraved with his name in gold. "This is definitely the horse my father wanted me to come see." "It does look quite impressive I’ll give him that."
Walking up to the horse, he grabbed the reigns, and jumped into the saddle. Cracking the reigns, as the beautiful, armored horse, began to sprint towards the destroyed wall. During the fighting, the vast majority of the wall had been flattened, so it made it exceptionally easy to come and go. Following the tracks in front of him, he had the slepneir open up and see what he could do. He had to admit, it was the fastest slepneir, he had ever ridden
He continued to flee, until around and hour into the run, when he heard a series of, Booms, and roars, from further up the trail. He could see something in the night sky shooting fire, followed by a blue frost attack shooting back at it. "Frostfire?!" "What is he fighting?" Cracking the reigns, he had his steed sprint at full speed, going forward. Getting closer to the fight, he was passing by massive holes in the ground. Some were frozen solid with ice crystals growing out from them, and others were molten lava, bubbling pools of magma in the craters.
The rumbling, roars, and booms became louder and louder as he began to approach the battlefield. Finally making his way to the front, he saw multiple rocs on the ground. Some were severely injured with broken wings, bleeding bodies, and bad burns throughout, and some seemed to be dead. Multiple giants were with them, trying to bandage them, and using healing magic on the ones who were still alive. "What is going on here?" Looking up he finally saw the enemy.
High in the sky he saw frostfire, in the midst of being grasped at, by a massive, red, dragon claw. The red dragon was by far the biggest thing he have ever seen in his life. The red dragon’s body alone looked to be around 150 feet long. More than twice as big as frostfire’s body. Its wingspan engulfed the sky, easily over 250 feet wide. "This is bad!"
The red dragons claws grabbed towards frostfire, even his claws were gigantic almost ten feet long each. At the last second, frostfire jolted forward, barely escaping the crushing claws. Above the red dragon he could see Lady, with mother on her saddle. However, she did not look good. He could see multiple burns throughout Sarams body.
Her armor was in tatters, and blood was flowing down her face, and side. Lady was scorched from her tail feathers all the way to her wing tip. Her wings were covered in blood, and her left wing seemed to be broken, as she was flapping that wing harder, and seemed to be fighting to stay in flight. Despite her wounds, the massive roc dove down landing on the back of the dragon. Boom! Lady began to rip into her with her claws, and tear off chunks with her beak as they struggled to stay on the back of the massive dragon, causing it to roar in anger and agitation.
Roar!! A deep guttural sky piercing roar sounded from the red dragon. He could see mother grabbing her modified ballista, pulling it back and releasing the massive siege arrow to the back of the dragons head. PHWOOSH! CRACK! Blood spilled out of the dragons head, but the arrow shattered upon impact. Infuriated, the dragon tucked in its wings and barrel rolled in the air, pulling lady with him, as her talons were still stuck in the dragons scales.
Flipping on its back, the dragon allowed itself to fall. If it fell with them on its back they would be crushed to death for sure! He spurred his slepneir into a sprint and whistled as loud as possible, so frostfire could see, and hear him. Hearing him, he quickly broke away, and flew into his direction.
Flying above him, he didn’t even land, and grabbed him with his talons, boosting him up onto the saddle. Darting back to the falling dragon anom realized they wouldn't be able to make it. A split second before the dragon crashed onto the ground, he was able to see lady pulling her talons out of the dragon, and tossing saram off her, to the ground, farther away. Boom!!
The ground shook madly, as cracks began to appear all throughout the ground. Rock slides happened all over as the entire area descended into chaos. It felt apocalyptical. "Mother! Lady!" Quickly flying over, he saw the massive red dragon pulling itself from the ground, now upside down.
Next to the gigantic beast, he could see a massive roc, completely covered in blood, and unconscious. Whether they were alive or dead, was unknown. Farther away from the roc was his mother laying still, knocked out with bad wounds, but he was able to see her breathing and could see other giants rushing over at the moment. Grinding his teeth in rage, anom screamed. "Damn this bastard! What the hell happened here frostfire?
Feeling wronged, Frostfire replied. "We were ambushed by this big bastard as we were escaping. However, your parents and I, along with a few other giants were able to stop him here. Everyone else was able to escape with the herd. I didn’t expect him to come out alone. I was planning to gather more allies before fighting him again. But, I guess it’s not up to me anymore. It’s a bad situation, but also a good chance!"
Looking at the giant dragon twisting and pulling himself up from the crater in his upside down position, a dangerous thought came to anom's mind. Looking down if could see Rorther gathering and helping heal the injured. "Rorther! Go grab my mother! Gather all the wounded. Place them on slepneirs and escape. Have a small team lead all the injured rocs to the forests and hide if they cannot fly. We will send a rescue team when this is over. Do it now! I will distract this big bastard! You all must escape!"

Rorther hearing his words, looked shocked, but quickly looked around, and nodded his head, and began to instruct all the other giants rushing towards Saram. With that out of the way, anom looked back to the red dragon with frostfire, and spurred him on. "This is just as good a time as any to finish our fight. Let’s go frostfire, let’s give him a dive bomb greeting like how we met you... haha!"
Darting up into the sky, frostfire began to gain altitude quickly as the red dragon was trying to recover. Finally reaching a sufficient height into the clouds, frostfire pulled in his wings and darted downwards, taking the initiative to flap his wings, giving the falling dragon even more momentum, until they reached right above the red dragons back and neck. Boom! The two dragons collided, producing an immense shockwave throughout the area.
Frostfires claws went deep into the red dragon’s upper back and neck, shearing the beast’s massive scales off, and creating sparks. After getting through the tough armor, frostfire began to rake, and bite, into the massive dragon, creating a mess of blood and flesh, falling all over. Jumping off the saddle anom jumped onto the massive dragon, pulling out his enlarged poleaxe. Swinging overhead with both arms, he swung the axe head out, swinging down on the dragon’s neck. Boom! Boom! Boom! Sparks flew everywhere as multiple scales were sliced off.
However, almost no real damage was done to the dragon. Looking around at where the dragon and roc were able to tear into the beast’s flesh, he soon realized that the areas that took the real damage, had been sprayed with frostfires breath before, or were smashed open with insane force. Damn!
The red dragon soon pulled itself off the floor. Seeing and feeling us on top of it, it attempted to swipe them off with his claws. Dodging this, he saw a cliff nearby, and began to race towards it. Realizing what was going to happen, anom screamed! "He’s going to try and smash us again!" Lifting his poleaxe he switched weapon sides, shifting to the hammer. He figured if the scales were in the way, then he could just smash through them. Crawling on the rampaging dragon, he finally got close enough to the beasts head, yelling to frostfire, "Freeze him!"
Understanding his idea, frostfire leapt from the back of the dragon, and grabbed onto his neck, and head, shooting him at point blank with his breath weapon. Roar!! Roaring in pain, the red dragon looked at the white dragon with a stunned look. To the red dragon, it must have seemed like it was suicide bombing, as in its position, the next moment after getting hit with his breath weapon, the red dragon could either scratch, bite, or point blank hit him back almost immediately after. Just as the red dragon was pulling his claw forward to do just that though anom jumped onto his neck and smashed down with his hammer, directly on his skull. Crack! Roar!!
The red dragons head smashed to the side, as fresh blood bloomed from the hit. Jumping back on frostfires saddle, he grabbed his poleaxe with both hands, thrusted foreward. Splash! The massive spear head on top of the poleaxe was thrust deep into the dragon’s neck, causing a massive amount of blood to flow out. However, neither frostfire nor anom saw the massive dragons claw raking forward, almost inhumanely fast. RIPPP! Slam!
Frostfire and anom were raked with the giant’s claws, and knocked down to the ground with the massive force. Anom bounced once and hit the solid earth, finally sliding to a stop, dozens of meters away. Getting up he could see if had two massive gashes going down his body. One went down all the way from his left cheek, down to his chest, and cutt through his stomach. The second was a smaller gash, cutting across his chest.
Looking down, he could see he had a broken right leg as well. Limping forward, with his poleaxe as a brace, he walked to frostfire. The white dragon was now covered in blood as well. "Damn, this thing is too strong." "How could anything defeat it!" "Now I know what those little humans must have felt like trying to fight against me." The red dragon angrily looked at its wounds then looked to the white dragon and anom, and began to speak. "So frostfire, is this your little scheme? Bring in the giants for help? HA! You should know there is no defeating me! And now look at you being ridden like a wyvern. Where is your honor? You’re weak!"
Looking up at the massive dragon frostfire forced himself up as anom came to stand next to him, ready to start the battle again at any notice. "You dare speak of honor? You? The, “egg snatcher”, the youngling killer, the one who knows no shame and is willing to do anything for power? How could you possibly know what honor is? Although I now have a rider, my rider is strong! What of you? Where are your other worlders? We are different than you. When have I ever been able to injure you before? Much less to the degree you are now. Although it is not enough to kill you, as long as we escape and keep growing... How long until we destroy you? Perhaps I am weak to you now, but this weakling has just tasted your blood."
The massive dragon seemed insulted at the thought of us even possibly being a threat to him. "Bastard! I have no master! What makes you think that I will let you get away this time? Not only you, but I will hunt down all the giants of his tribe and devour each of them. There will be no next time! You all may have injured me, but to a being as big as I, it is no different than a nose bleed."
Without warning frostfire grabbed anom, and took off as fast as he could, attempting to run away. Swoosh, bam!! They felt a massive weight slam into them as they were sent tumbling down on the ground for the second time. Looking at their enemy, they could see the agile dragon’s tail retracting, back towards its back. "Damn it." "Are we really going to die here?" "No, I can’t die!" Anom's mind began to race, as the thought of not dying cycled in his mind. I cannot die! I cannot die! I cannot die! I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CANNOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His mind was spinning as he could feel intense burning coming from under his clothing. Tearing of the last rags of his previous armor, he could see his necklace glowing bright white. He remembered his mother bought him this crystal ball and he always felt that his body desired something inside of it, but he could never figure it out. After buying it and not being able to figure it out for a long time his mother made it into a necklace for him to wear.
The crystal ball necklace began to greedily consume the blood dripping onto it from his wounds. Once it was full, it started infusing itself into his chest and body. He could feel massive amounts of magic running into him, fusing crazily. The red dragon watching us soon looked stunned when he saw the crystal ball. "It can’t be. All the cores were destroyed."
Suddenly dark red mist began to radiate out of me as it began to infect outside manna becoming bigger and bigger until suddenly snapping like a whip and latching onto Belagos. In fear and disbelief, the dragon screamed. "NOO!! The cores were all destroyed, this is impossible!" The red mist quickly enveloped the red dragon. Pulsating around him, and infusing into his skin and aura. It began pulling out a strange golden mist from the dragon, and sucked it into my body. The great red dragon was panicking, seeing the mist infusing into him and taking something out. The dragon roared! "No! I have to get out of here! I will not be controlled! I will not be tamed!! Damn little bastards! I’ll have my revenge!"
In a desperate panic the great red dragon took off, frantically fleeing in the sky. However, at this point in time, anom's mind had completely faded into black and had no idea of the great dragons retreat.
