Chapter 6

The lord and his physician, now their pathway was clear. They walked up the huge stairway toward the palace. Six bolts whizzed by them, each sent by a sneering attacker who reloaded, aimed, and steadied themselves. Lilian stepped in front of the six and spread her hands, pulled them apart, and a huge pink force field took the bolts for the lord. Slamming her hands together, Lilian grunted. The field condensed into a ball and shot at the men. Expanding on contact the six were no longer men, but wriggling pink cocoons. Lilian raised her hands to the skys and shoved them outwards, lifting and launching the cocoons towards the advancing army. Screaming as they flew, the six projectiles slammed into the front lines, tripping, and crushing many men. Dragons of all shapes and sizes were flying in and transforming, soon a horde of humanoids were climbing the stairs to the palace. Lilian and Charles fled screaming up the stairs. Soon, there was no one left on the stairs but the limping lord, his physician, and
Ahzera. He turned, flew a few feet into the air and sliced a claw across his throat. His claw was mere centimeters from his neck. The magic flowed, His voice boomed across the flying city. "STOP, YOU HAVE NO CHANCE AGAINST US, SURRENDER." The army did not stop, they had the "demons" in a corner, they had the (or so they thought) advantage. "FINE, IF YOU WILL NOT STOP THEN THIS WILL BE THE END...FOR YOU." In an ever louder voice,  he said, "Children of dust, this is your final battle. There will be others like you, who come and try to destroy us "demons"  but they, like you, will fail. This is your last chance, before I unlock the power that resides within me."
With a flap, he was upon the first man, stabbing and breathing fire, he was dispatched, leaping up in the air, then diving down again, he did the same to the next soldier. Leaping from man to man, he was slowly being taken down, with every jump he was weakened. Eventually, after taking down at least 20, he leaped backwards towards the palace. Intaking a huge breath of air, he waited 5 seconds then engulfed the armies in fire. It was a black fire, that ate at the light, engulfing the entire city into blackness. "Fun fact." he whispered in the commander's ear, "Dragons can see in the dark." With a screaming blow, the man was downed. There were small bits of light, coming off of the people, and their fallen allies, but even then, the dead bodies lost their light quickly. Soon the only light came from the people, like matches in the dark. "Now, you know that matches have to be put out..."
