Siege On Dragonbane Keep の小説・ストーリー

The storm had thinned, the worst of it spent, leaving a sharp wind that cut through the residual warmth of the mountain's interior and made Darien press closer to me. Keanu stepped into the open snow. Rolled his shoulders. Then shifted. The golden dragon filled the mountainside with light, scales catching the stars and throwing them back. He lowered himself, foreleg extended, the warm ramp of his flank ready for boarding. Darien stared up at the dragon. His silver eyes went wide with childlike awe. “Leah, you got bigger.” Cain made a sound that was either a laugh or a sob. “I thought he was immune to most magic and poisons.” I looked at Cain as we navigated Darien toward Keanu's flank.

“We handle it step by step. First, secure the chamber. Xander, keep Theron right there.” Xander gave a short acknowledgment. Theron tried to stand, but Xander’s presence kept him seated. “This isn’t over,” Theron muttered, but it sounded weak even to him. Sarah kept feeding updates from her terminal. “Siege is building. They’ve got the Viper-Ridge tents surrounded. Shots haven’t started yet, but it’s close.”

"To the east, there's a large faction called the Dragon Court. They're absorbing every fleet they can find. To the west, the Deep-Sea Cult has appeared. They hunt tamed sea beasts, claiming that all marine life belongs only to the Sea God." I set down the fish feed in my hand. "The Dragon Court and the Cult are facing each other off, and our waters are right in the buffer zone." Captain White wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Lord, what do we do? Neither side is easy to provoke." I thought for a moment. "We maintain neutrality. We don't attach ourselves to either side." "But..." "No buts." I cut him off. "Notify everyone. Expand the ranch. I'll tame more defensive sea beasts."

He led her toward the valley where the human forces and their offspring waited. Neyalha’s sense of reason had fled. She followed him in blind rage, determined that if he so earned it, she would destroy him along with the hordes of humanity and other creatures that had betrayed her. Few remain who were actually witness to the clash of forces that followed. As the monstrous, huge Dragons approached the valley, the sorceresses called upon all of their talent to create a magical barrier. Nayara and Ghaeron added their own magical energy, for it would take much to contain the bulk and power of their dam. The ranks of the Black Knights tensed, eager for battle, readying weapons to aid in subduing

There is no time for hesitation today. More enemies surge upward from the streets below. Fae warriors riding dragons. Archers loosing arrows tipped with burning magic. A lesser dragon dives toward my throat. I twist aside and rip his wing clean off. He plummets screaming into the broken street far below. Another dragon circles behind me. I spin midair and drive my claws through his skull. Blood rains down across the battlefield. And still Seraphina’s music continues. I feel it moving through me now. Through the bond.

Ronan moved beside him. The sight below hardened his expression immediately. Entire battalions surrounded the mountain already. More forces continued arriving from distant territories while massive war banners carrying the symbols of multiple packs rose beneath the moonlight. This wasn’t a warning anymore. It was a siege. Kael looked toward Ronan carefully. “You think your old pack is down there?” Ronan remained silent briefly before answering. “Yes.” Aria overheard him. And despite everything happening around them, the realization struck painfully. Ronan was about to stand against his own people.

As with any battle, there was the knowledge that not all would make it through the day alive. “Trebuchet,” I pointed out to my squire and page, Narayan and Tiryth, mindful of their education. “And Longbowmen. They have prepared for the dragon. A dragon’s weak points are his wings. The scales are very tough to pierce and can deflect most long-distance arrows. His wings, however, are not armoured. The membrane is thin. Minor injuries will not affect his flight, but a large enough tear can ground a dragon, and be very difficult to mend.” We stopped at the decided point, allowing the soldiers to eat what they could, and organising the last details of the battle, setting up the medical tents, and

"We have the numbers now. Fourteen thousand men, three dragons, the sisters, and the witches here. We can hold the Keep." "But we don't want to just hold," I said, voice firming. "We want to end this. No more running. No more sealing people away." Baba looked at me for a long moment. "Then we fight smart. Use the dragons for the front line. Put the sisters on the walls—they know defensive spells better than anyone. Axel, your men take the gates. Ava, coordinate the witches inside." Everyone nodded. The energy in the courtyard shifted—people started moving with purpose, orders rippling outward.

The air was thick with tension, every heartbeat echoing like war drums across the crumbling temple grounds. From her vantage point atop the weather-worn balcony, Selene watched the horizon darken—not with clouds, but with the approaching horde. The siege had begun. Below, Kael barked orders, still limping from his last encounter but determined to defend what little ground they had left. The allies they’d gathered—rogue wolves, witches who had once served in hiding, a handful of humans brave or foolish enough to fight—moved in hurried unison, preparing barricades and traps. But the numbers were not in their favor.

He brought him somewhere unknown and he growled and ran towards the Cave, in his head he was chanting for their mate. Adrian entered the cave in hurry and finally saw Elysian, laying on top of a werewolf, getting raped brutally by five men on the floor. A loud growl snapped the five men, they quickly pulled away from the unconscious figure of Elysian and looked at Adrain in fear, the wolves freaked out to see a huge dragon glaring at them, how the fuck there was a dragon here?! While the three wolves knew they will die that day. No one should mess with Adrian, as they have witnessed the death itself, for they have met the legend they have only heard the stories about. The dragon.
