Chapter 38 - The Dragon lair part 2

Everyone immediately jumped back as commended. The dragon attacked with his tail instead of breathing fire.

'fuck' the tail hit them throwing them against the cave walls.

"Everyone get up, you can't let your guard down right now." Yelled Jakar. " let's attack him from the sides."

Everyone dispersed to the sides as they were about to attack, the dragon swiped them left with its big feet.

They fell on top of eachother.

Ashur kept observing the dragon while getting up, it was like it was grinning, sitting in front of the only way out. Once again the dragon spat fire they had run jump to avoid that fire attack.

'fuck... Fuck...' thought Ashur .

"Everyone listen up, I know how to defeat the dragon."

Everyone sight in relief when Ashur said that.

"We have to go with the plan from Gideon, he was right about it's weakness, we have to jump up on the dragon's back while cutting through the open scale on its back piercing through its heart." Everyone was confused, no one has ever heard such plan from Gideon, specially the specific part of the scale on its back, and the weakness.

"Everyone just follow along." They all jumped. At the same time the dragon flown high, like it was checking its back, leaving the entrance free again.

"Everyone Run now!!! " they couldn't even process what was happening, they just ran towards the exit. Since the way was narrow, if they managed to get it through it then the dragon could not follow them.

They ran as fast as they could. One of the warriors fell behind since it was injuries during the attacks from the Dragon.

Ashur went back to help him, seing that the dragon attention was turned back to them. Everyone had almost crossed to the exit tunnel, except for the injuried warrior and Ashur.

The dragon tail banged against the cave wall making big pieces of stone fall down right to the spot where the tunnel was.

Ashur could only push the warrior inside of the tunnel and jump away from the falling rock.

There was so much smoke they could barely see and breath, they were coughing, as the stone dust settle they could hear the screaming from the warrior that had his leg trapped under the stone.

They pulled him away but his bones were crashed. As they come to their senses, fire came from behind the stones making it hot to the touch.

"We managed! We are alive." Said one of the warriors.

" No... The ...Master... Is still inside ." Said the warrior with the crushed leg, crying in pain. "He sacrificed himself to fucking save me. "

His pain was both physical and emotionally.

"To save us." Corrected Lyssann with bitter tone .

They tried to move the stone, but it was too hot to touch.

"Ashur, you bastard, you better be Alive." Screamed Jakar angrily. "Why would you do that." Jakar was banging his shoulders against the stone trying to move it, while burning himself.

"Stop, Jakar. Maybe we will find another way in, I am sure he is fine." Lyssann helped the warrior with a crushed leg up, they were beaten up, some with a broken rib, other fingers but they still managed to walk.

"We just have to find Gideon and the others, and get some help."

Before they, they started to leave, walking slowly they carry eachother, helping those more hurt.

A loud scream, a painful scream from the other side of the rock could be heard.

Their eyes widened, as they all went back

"Ashur!!!!"

"Ashur !!"

They kept calling for their master, their desperate yelled grew intense with Ashur painful screams from the other side.

" why did he save me... He can't die, not like this." The warrior kept blaming himself.

"We need to find another way in..."

"There's no other way in ...this was the only way, remember."

"We need to get some help, you there, go get some help." The young warrior that was in a awe experience everything for the first time in first hand ran outside as faster as he could.

Despite the long and curvy way, there was no mistake to be made, there was only this way out. As the light seem to shine inside of cave reached his eyes, screamed at top of his lungs for help.

"Quick everyone, help the Master needs our help.... Everyone Help!!"

His voice echoed back as he came outside of the cave, he couldn't see everyone, he looked around there was noone there to be seen, no one on look out, no one laughing , no one sparring, no voices, no conversation, he was lost for a moment.

He ran over to look for his friends...everyone, he stumbled head first on the ground.

The smell of blood entered his nose as he lift his head. He could see for the first that his people,his friends were there laying on the ground in pools of blood. "AAaahhhhhhhh"

Inside the cave the loud the scream could be heard, they didn't waste time and ran outside.

Even the one with the broken leg pick himself up and got himself out.

They arrived to the unsettling view of their friends, covered in blood on floor.

The young warrior was a little ahead, hold his sword, trembling.

"What happened in here?" Jakar was furious, his face darkened with anger.

"I-It attacked them, it killed them." Said the young warrior Holding his sword trembling with anger point at Loti that covered in blood was on kneeling beside Jakobus.

They approach the scene, and could see all the blood around them.

Other warrior calmed the young warrior, putting his sword slowly down.

"She is trying to save him, she feeding him something, they have swords cuts, she didn't do it, she is also wounded, look." He said in a low sad voice.

The young warrior put his sword down with a more clear mind he could see things clearly, it was indeed so like the other warrior had explained.

"She has been healing them, but she doesn't look good herself."

Jakar, found Emil on ground wounded, he was bleeding anymore his wounds was patched with leaves and vines to keep tight.

"Brother can you hear, me? What happened who did this to you??" He gently shook Emil.

Emil eyes remained closed, but whispered.

"Gi-gi-gi -deon." Blood came out of his mouth.

"We haven't found him, but we will save everyone don't worry, brother... We will save him too ."

"Noo...no..." His voice was coarse because of the blood in his throat, "Gi-Gi-deon, di-did it. "
