Josh
Josh nudged Dante. "Nice timing," he mumbled. "But I was going to be fine, with or without you." He snapped his fingers, and a translucent sphere flickered around them for a second. "See? ...So, what's the plan now?" One of the dragons flew back towards the portal, while the others surrounded Josh and Dante, slowly drawing closer to them. "Do you even have a plan? 'Cause I don't."
There was a flash on the horizon, and a flying battleship, gleaming silver and blue, approached them. The dragon riders broke their standoff and whipped around to the portal. The ground shook as it hovered a thousand feet above the two warriors; there was a series of clicks as the gun ports slid open. The air was filled with blinding blue tracers for a second, hitting another of the dragons in the wing as it fled, sending it spinning to the ground.
There was a moment of amazed, awkward silence.
"I planned that," said Josh. "...No, really, I did!"
Slagaroth
"My lady," said Slagaroth, "serving you as we defeat these befoulers of the world is reward enough. However, if you feel it just to reward me for my service, I would wish to rule the southern half of the Shadow Land when you are crowned Empress of Awai."
A wyvern came through the portal and landed next to Slagaroth. "Ah, our scouts have returned. Perhaps we can "
The rider hopped off and prostrated himself. "My Lord, Your Excellency, the way is clear! We can begin our attack on your order."
"What happened to the other four?"
"My Lord, forgive me, but they were held up capturing a pair of soldiers who put up some resistance. They should be back any minute now, with their captives!"
"Excellent. Now, we begin our attack! Give the order to march to victory!"
"My Lord, I hear and obey!" He bowed again, then backed away to his mount. As he did, two more scouts returned, their dragons bleeding.
"What happened? Answer me!" Slagaroth raged.
"Lord, the Tetra! They have launched the Tetra, and it stands outside the portal!"
"...Block those soldiers from leaving yet!" said Slagaroth, pointing at the lead body of the attack. If we go now, it will be a waste - we'll need all the men we can use when we go against Awai's full force. ...Prepare the Tetra Cannon - it will be very useful indeed."
We are loved even though we suck.
Psalms 37:37 (NHEB)
Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
