Romans & histoires Colossus: The Fire Dragon

Giselle placed the bowl carefully on the ground between them and stepped back. “Now, you both will fire into the bowl together” she said, turning toward the dragons. The two great beasts stepped forward in unison. The crimson dragon lowered its head slightly and the black one mirrored the motion. Then they breathed out a controlled fire that met at the center and poured directly into the bowl. The fire burned bright orange but as it touched the blood, it changed into a glowing blue flame that erupted from the bowl with a strange, powerful energy. Elaina’s eyes widened. That was the Starfire itself, birthed from raw undiluted love and sacrifice. It was beautiful and terrifying, beyond anythin

He was fierce and unrelenting, as though he intended to consume me whole. I was left reeling, my body powerless beneath his touch. Eventually, he gathered me in his arms and laid me down on the big bed. The room was dim, illuminated only by moonlight spilling through the windows. Tucker stood at the foot of the bed, looming over me like a shadow. His eyes were dark and intense, resembling a hunter who had finally captured his prey. "Addison," he rasped, his voice low and rough. "This is your last chance. If you're having second thoughts, now's the time to say so."

Dude #2 yelled back suddenly. “Guys, we have no choice, we either do this or die when we go home, and if we run.. he’ll find us” dude#3 said. Unable to handle the truth of what awaits them, he started walking away from the other guys. ‘Sapphire, what are these guys?’ I asked my dragon, uncertain of their different scents. ‘That’s a delta dragon, gamma dragon and warrior dragon. That gamma dragon is the highest ranking one, deltas are like healers and warriors are obviously warriors,’ she laughed at me, making my fists clenched slightly.

It floods through the air. It floods through me. My wounds burn. Then begin to close. Malrec notices immediately. His eyes flash with furious disbelief. “No,” he breathes. “Yes,” I growl. I surge upward with renewed strength, throwing him back across the terrace. He crashes through the remains of another pillar and rolls across the ancient stone floor before regaining his footing. For a moment we circle one another. Two dragons standing in the center of a dying empire. Above us the bridge blazes like a star.

With a swift motion, he seated himself upon it and created a defensive barrier formed by nine fire dragons. Simultaneously, Quintus waved his hand conjuring a shiny caldron above his head. Bathed in the purple-blue radiance, nine ice dragons encircled him, repelling the onslaught of Wama Flame and Galeth Wind, and deflecting lightning flashes cascading from above. "Ice and fire, break!” As the two hidden emperors combined their strength, the bell formation surrounding them shattered amidst the roars of dragons and resounding explosions. At that moment, James, seated cross-legged atop the lotus, abruptly opened his eyes. Two black-gold dragons surged forth toward the hidden emperors.

The ice in my very veins melted as he grew even taller than he normally was and more muscular,ripping Zephyros's tunic in the process. I staggered backwards and tripped on a branch. I fell backwards on my rump and even the sting was not enough to take my eyes off him. He exhaled and the nearest tree turned to ash immediately. i scrambled backwards on impulse and the branch i had tripped on got caught in his web. He opened his eyes and twin pools of fire peered down at me. I didn't need Luna to tell me i was not looking at Zephyros anymore...no. Not entirely. What stared back at me was the Fire Dragon.

His long neck lifted, his head went back, and fire ejected from his mouth on a roar that made me cover my ears. I looked up. The tower was taller than anything I'd ever seen with blue skies peeking between great columns toward the top. The dragon fire rose and shot out the openings. Black soot covered the ceiling of the tower, and I realized his releasing fire was a common occurrence. I lowered my head and looked into his red eyes again. Smoke came from his nostrils, and for a few moments, the smell of death receded, replaced with lingering smolder. It was an improvement. "You have one last chance to beg for your life." His jaw didn't move, but his grumbling voice threaded through my mind. N

And Dom would have let her but he was desperate and the world needed that great leader's guidance one last time. Gradually, warmth returned to the dragon's breath and Dom stepped far away for his safety. One by one, the Dragon finally revealed his golden eyes and moved to a more sitting position than lying. It seemed to be in excruciating pain as it screeched ear-splittingly and used all his built-up heat, stored for centuries, to burn a ginormous fire through his lungs, almost melting the interior of the cave. Dom almost felt like running away, it had all seemed like a pretty bad idea for a moment. Waking up a dragon asleep for centuries wasn't a joke.

He heard an explosion, and the force of it ruffled his clothes and hair. Two more blasts of fire were coming his way. This time, he didn’t dodge. He placed a circular shield woven from chains between himself and the attack. It stopped the attack perfectly. Colin was already looking for the source of the attack. It had come from three Pyromuthos, an elephant-like magical beast with a body the colour of the setting sun. They were sending blasts of fire from their trunks, of all things, forced by their riders to attack him.

Orora POV . . 'Alaric, Amira! Come to the land of the reptilia. Collen has shifted to his dragon form to save Victoria!' I didn't think twice about telling them about Victoria anymore. They had to come here quickly. Collen was just blowing fire to the vast forest. The reptilians ran and tried to escape the heat and flames, but a few of them had been burned alive.
