Chapter 14

Screaming, the citizens of Lord Kozemas's city bled and ran through the streets. They had no chance against the rolling waves of enslaved dragons. Their riders screamed for more, "DEATH! DEATH! DOOOOOOM!"  Kozemas, in his armored keep, huddled in the back corner while Charles and Lilian tended to the groups of wounded soldiers that fled, or fell, into the most inner sanctum. The rest of the city in the sky was ablaze, houses reduced to rubble, dragons dying in the streets. The riders clanged across the thick walls. The northernmost wall was destroyed, Thinking quickly, and realizing that they were going to die, Lilian, using all her magic sent a plea to Ahzera's gem encrusted, golden locket that he kept hidden in his chest. "We are being destroyed, Charles and Kozemas and I are alone now. Help us Ahzera, Help us. And Ahzie! I...I love yoAAAAHGHHHHHH!" Feeling the message enter him, Ahzera's eyes widened. Quietly, then steadily growing louder, "no. no! No. No! NO. NO! NOOOOOOOO!" Falling into a rage over his dead king, his dead friend, and his love, he half flew half ran to the front lines. Shaking in rage, he blasted the ranks of enemy Men with black fire. They screamed and writhed in agony as the evil flames engulfed them, eating away at them, sucking their soul. With every man dead, Ahzera grew more and more dragon like, less and less human, His scales lost their pallor, becoming a midnight black that actively sucked the light from the room. His men, though scared fought along the enraged dragon. The only light on his body was his chest, where the locket glowed, faintly, through the black. He boomed at his men, with his last ounce of humanity, "Run! Get away from me! Escape! I...I will come back for you!!! GO!!!!!!" Smashing through the barricades, he sliced through the men with his bastard-sword it split into the two long-swords and he used the swinging slabs of stinging metal to kill all that stood in his way. He became impossibly large, as big as the great arches of the castle. Becoming even more enraged, he punched through the wall. Stepping into the Throne room he said, "YOU KILLED MY KIND! YOU MURDED THE INNOCENT! You foolish man. You, you wanted the BlackFire Demon, WELL HERE I AM!" The ranks of archers shot at the enraged thief king, but to no avail. He reached down and scooped up the King in his egg. He looked up, and smashed through the ceiling as he flew through the air. In a mere 5 minutes, he landed at the ruined Dragon King's city. "LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, YOU HAVE SLAIN MY KIND." He walked through the ruined city, letting the terrified king see what destruction he had wreaked. "MY KIND DIED, MY ONLY FRIEND DIED, MY LOVE WAS SLAIN AT THY HAND. YOU SHALL DIE WITH THEM!" "Wait! I...I can give you money! Power! Allies! Anything!!!!!!! No? RIDERS! KILL HIM NOW!" The hiding dragon slavers flew out from inside the inner sanctum. They flew around Ahzera, blasting him with streaks of red fire, Ahzera drew the two longswords again, dropping the king. Slashing through the air, the dragons and men fell. "THERE ARE NOW VERY FEW OF MY KIND LEFT, WHILE YOU IDIOTIC MEN WHO CALL THEMSELVES "KINGS" KILL THEM. I WILL MURDER ALL OF YOU! EVERY LAST ONE! MY PEOPLE SHALL FLOURISH AGAIN. NOW DIE!" Ahzera brought the two longswords down in bastard sword form upon the king's protection. It snapped away and fell, In the bottom half, the king hid behind hid throne and cried, "PLEASE! SPARE ME!" Ahzera smiled, a grim sight in this form, "YOU KILLED MY KIND HERE, YOU WILL LIVE HERE. MAY YOU DIE PAINFULLY, OLD FOOL." Ahzera turned away from the cowering king and took two flaps, and glided down to the kings throne room. Becoming smaller as he left, he landed in normal size. Though still retaining the light destroying aura. The new king stepped forward, the old king's advisor. The remaining guards surrounded him. "Thou shalt be executed. Men, kill the murderer." Ahzera lept into the air, and came down and stabbed the man in the chest. The guards jaws dropped, they backed away then ran from the (now twice) king slayer. "Now, where are my men?"
