Thread: (loneiysong) Dealing with Dragons (MaximalCrazy)

Battle sounds started to shift from violent and vicious to a more panicked tone. More of Nevith's roars could be heard, along with the dying screams and shouts of Alabastor men. It didn't take long however for one of the servants to pass by the room, and the guard that spoke with the princess stopped the young lad. Boy! What's going on out there? Are my brothers fighting a dragon now? The man asked in a hurry, and the servant just looked frightful, just as anyone might be when hearing such a frightening sound. The servant explained to them both about what was going on. Yes, indeed it was a dragon! The guard's eyes nearly popped out of his head upon hearing the nose, listening to the boy describe the dragon. It was taller than two men put together, and it was strong and fearsome. The only good news they might have had was the dragon had taking a liking to the trebuchet before. The guard sighed in relief. At least we don't have to worry about that thing anymore... Yeah, but we've got a dragon on the wall now! Several soldiers from outside came to the guard and pulled him along. Come on! The blasted wyrm keeps knocking our men back. A couple of them are hurt and are being pulled away. The gods must be smiling down on us for not having a single man killed yet, but those Alabastor bastards are running scared. I saw him eat one of them whole! No chewing at all! One of the men wretched at the thought, but he pulled himself together. Another roar sent them into a fit, and they had all left. The guard charged with watching Elena had accidentally left her in the safety room alone. The servant excused himself from the princess's company, bowing to her and rushing off. At least even in fear, her servants were respectful to her. Nevith was making quick work of Alabastor, doing his best to keep the injuries to Providence as minimal as possible, but even he couldn't keep some of those soldiers from experience rather painful blows or claw marks. 'Blasted woman...!' The dragon thought as he cleaved several Alabastor soldiers in two. 'This is far more work then those jewels would cover. Next time, I won't settle for less.' It was easy dealing with primitive sea men who used swords and spears and leather armor. Claws and razor sharp teeth could pierce leather easily. But when he thought about how large the force was, even Nevith knew he had his work cut out for him. At least they attacked him more than Providence soldiers. It gave him more reason to focus on them and appear angry. He even let some of their swords and spears strike him, though his tough scales protected him thoroughly. 'This is child's play. I waste my time with these simpletons.' A wide tail sweep drew distance between him and the two forces both in front of him and behind him. Rearing back up on his two legs, Nevith inhaled deeply and suddenly spewed out a breath of electricity. The arcs of lightning cut through a large platoon of Alabastor soldiers, killing them within its path before Nevith leapt off the wall and crashed upon the ground again, watching as the will to fight left the Alabastor forces. As he let loose another electric breath. Alabastor horns sounded for a retreat as Providence soldiers looked on. They spent what little time they had gathering their wound and dead, shouting in dire need for medical aid. Bishop however, looked on from atop the castle's watch tower, armed with a ballista. Gods, a dragon...! He murmured, watching on as it chased at the Alabastor soldiers. It was only a matter of time, however, until that beast set its eyes upon Providence. Arm the ballista! He called out to the two soldiers with him. They would have to strike now to deter the beast! Alabastor was the least of their worries now.
