burn--old time 6

Samuel looked at the monster with sternness in his eyes that none could echo. The stank wind filled his nostrils with every breath but he pushed this discomfort aside. Another whirl in the sky formed from where Samuel?s sword tip pointed. Seth stood, hackles resided, ready to fight as well. The monster slobbered upon the ground a green substance. He took in a breath of his disgusting air and expanded as far as possible. Then with one motion blew most of the horns from his body toward Samuel. 1

Seth jumped in front of Samuel taking most of the blows. Samuel caught Seth with his left hand and placed the wolf pup on the ground.  Seth whimpered. ?I failed. The monster got you with one of his poisonous stings.? Seth said as he began to have convulsions. Samuel looked down to find one sting deep in his left arm. He pulled it out and threw it to the side. Seth convulsed on the ground whimpering from pain. ?Feel that? Oh, what is this I see? Is thou crying?? mocked the monster. Samuel watched as Seth?s tiny body stopped convulsing the pup?s legs that had been struggling to get air into his small body lie limp. Samuel looked upon the monster with anger. ?Thee killed my friend!? he cried. Samuel ran toward the monster. A cocky smile grew on the monster?s face. He flicked his finger and Samuel fell to the ground. 2

?I can take control of thine limbs when ever I wish with that poison in your blood stream.? the monster snarled. Samuel fought with his legs but they would not budge. Samuel cried to the sky words he did not recognize. The small whirl that had formed from Samuel?s sword tip opened larger. Vashen and Lyde were dropped onto the ground. Vashen still had his sword in hand. He surveyed the surroundings and with out any questions he attacked the foul monster. 3

The monster spewed  his saliva over the ground and puffed himself out. Vashen ran full force toward the monster. The monster released his poisonous horns. Vashen dodged all but one. With a flick of the monster finger Vashen was on the ground, immobile. The monster wore a snide smile. Lyde closed her eyes and moved Samuel?s sword. It rose into the air and flew toward the monster. He spewed saliva on it  and it burnt to a crisp. With a heinous smile he took control of the sword that Vashen held. It zoomed toward Lyde with an eerie wising sound. Vashen, Samuel, and Lyde concentrated on turning it back around. It did, but was soon destroyed the same way the other one was. 4

Lyde kicked off her shoes and buried her feet deep into the earth. She called out with her eyes cast to the sky.  ?Sweet mother earth! I am in dire need of assistance.? the earth trembled underneath her. From the hearth fire the Onyx egg erupted and a small dragon, roughly the size of a raccoon, emerged from it. It fanned it?s dripping wet wings in the flame and flew toward Lyde. It flew up into the cloud and made a hole where light could pass though. The light from the sun blinded and burned the monster  the dragon antagonized the monster and kept it distracted. Vashen and Samuel were able to stand. The earth opened and spat fourth two new swords. Samuel and Vashen in unison picked up a sword and ran to attack the monster. The little dragon kept opening the cloud and attacking the monster?s head. Vashen and Samuel sliced the monster from both sides, delivering their blows in exact harmony. 5

With in two minutes the monster was cut into many pieces and fried by the dragon. Lyde went to Seth?s lifeless body. The dragon trailing her. She extracted the multiple horns from his tiny body.  Samuel took Seth?s body from Lyde and cried into it. The little dragon squeaked. Samuel lay Seth?s body on the warm earth. The dragon nudged Seth?s body and squeaked again. Seth opened his eyes. ?Samuel!? Samuel hugged Seth?s tiny body. Tears spilled from his eyes as he smiled at Seth and then at the dragon who was nudging under Samuel? hand, desperate to get pet.6
