Dragon's night

The good fight

Michaels mother runs over and calms him “It will be ok, the magic that surrounds the house will make it hard for them to find you. Now bring her over here, we need to set that arm.” They set Jamie on the couch and Michael steps outside.

He walks out o the porch to calm down. he looks up at the moon and stars. He exhales a small fireball and drops his head on the banner. He asks himself “Why can’t today be normal. He hears the door open and his mom walks out “Jamie is fine, she just passed out.” Michael’s face calms a bit “That’s good.”

His mom asks, “What’s troubling you?” Michael just shrugged “I was giving an amazing gift and the first thing that happens, is that I get my friend hurt. I just want things to go back to normal.” His mom looks up with him “But you’ve never been normal.”

This gets Michaels's attention, she goes on “Remember that dog that attacked Jamie when you two were in the fifth grade?” Michael answers “Yeah.” She leads on the porch pole “you jumped in to fight that dog and it tore your arms up, but you held it off until I got there. You never backed down.”

Michael crosses his arms and asks, ‘What does that have to do with this?” She smiles “You have always stood up for her, no matter the fight. This guy is just another dog, but you are a dragon. Now get some rest.”

Michael goes in and sits on the chair next to Jamie and falls asleep. That night he has an interesting dream. He is standing in an all-black area with the only light being a spotlight on himself. He is his regular human self again. He tries to look around but can’t see anything through the veil of darkness.

Then a bright light shines down in front of him to reveal a huge dragon. Its red scales reflected the light as bright as the sun. His horns protruding from his head like two trees. Just under them was a long white mane that reached his huge chest. He took two steps forward with his long legs.

He stopped in front of him and told him in a loud booming voice “Stand tall, with your chest out. You are my son and as my successor, I need you to be strong.” Michael upon seeing him begins to break down “What am I supposed to do, that someone like you couldn’t.” Lucifer smiles “You can bring them together.”

After sharing these few words with him, he vanishes into the darkness. Michael then turns to see all the past dragons of the land standing behind him. Some big, some small, but all standing for the next in line to rule. A loud thud wakes him as the morning sun comes through the kitchen window.

He wakes up to the hunters trying to break into the house. Michael tells his mom and Jamie to run. Jamie asks, “What are you going to do?” Michael looks her in the eyes “My best.” He turns to face down the men running in. There’s about three and Jamie’s father. He throws one up against the wall.

While he’s in the scrape, he gets cut across the leg. He grabs a vase and smashes it against the enemy. Two of them rush him and they fall over the couch. He manages to get his claws into the back of one of the knights and fling him on the front porch.

He takes a punch from Jamie’s dad. Michael tackles him breaking the kitchen table. With his attention taken, he gets stabbed in the back. The men pull Michael off him. He gets up and addresses him “You know since you are a worthy foe, I will let you know my name. It’s Daniel.”

Michael takes a hard breath “Well Daniel, I hope your suits fire prof.” Michael exhales a stream of fire engulfing the house. This gives him a chance to run. He makes it outside and jumps off the porch. As he is in the air, he thinks “Well, I could really use some wings.” Just then the fire surrounds his back, giving him wings.

He flies into the sky thinking he’s safe. But as he is getting higher, he hears a whistling sound. He looks back to see an arrow coming at him. He swiftly evades it, but as it passes him, it explodes. He falls out of the sky, plummeting into a water basin, which happens to be next to the mine.
