Gren sank her teeth into Kondras shoulder, and Kondra sank her teeth into Grens shoulder in return. Are you tired? Kondra asked, her voice muffled.
Im just getting started, Gren said, her mouth barely moving. She scratched at Kondra, and the two dragons rotated as their tails thrashed about, trying to wrap around the others body.
Kondra exhaled out two jets of steam from her nostrils. Im just getting started too, she mumbled and pulled her neck back, attempting to rip a chunk of flesh off of Gren. Gren thrashed her head from side to side, biting and releasing Kondras shoulder repeatedly. Sparks flew as her teeth grinded against the holy dragons scales. Without warning, a huge force crashed into the both of them, and they were launched through the airstill entangledand smashed into a wall.
Gren and Kondra grunted and relaxed their jaws, letting go of the other dragon. They climbed to their feet and made space by slapping each other away with their tails, their motions nearly identical. Their eyes narrowed at the third party, an ocean-blue dragon who was glaring at them with golden eyes.
What are you doing? Gren asked. Why did you attack us?
Kondras brow furrowed. Vur? She glanced at Gren. What is Vur doing here?
You know him? Gren asked and raised an eyebrow. He ca here with Grimmy. As for why hes still here, Im not sure.
Apologize, Vur said and snorted. You attacked while I was sleeping.
Kondra cleared her throat and took a step to the side, distancing herself from Gren. It was Grens fault. If you want soone to apologize to you, it should be her.
Vurs eyes shifted onto Gren. The cursed dragon furrowed her brow and looked at Kondra. The holy dragon was looking away with her neck stretched out, her head pointed at an angle towards the ceiling as if there was sothing interesting on the wall. Gren followed Kondras gaze, but there was nothing up there.
Vur cleared his throat and tapped his claw against the floor. Well? he asked and tilted his head. Are you going to apologize?
Gren frowned. She didnt know why Kondra was behaving like such a wuss, but it didnt matter. I dont appreciate being threatened in my own ho by a guest, she said. Grimmy said you were Seras child? Her eyes narrowed, and she took a step towards Vur. She roared. To , Sera is just a child!
Hey, Vur, Tafel said from near the wall. I dont think its a good idea for you to fight with Grimmys mom.
Vur snorted. We dont have to fight if she apologizes, he said. If she doesnt apologize, then that ans she attacked on purpose. If she attacked on purpose, then I have to retaliate. Its part of the code.
Gren raised an eyebrow. You know the cursed dragons code?
Cursed dragons code? Vur asked. He shook his head. I know the dragons code of honor. Grimmy taught it to .
Gren chuckled. Is that so? she asked. For you to deter Kondra from picking a fight, theres no doubt youre strong. Her eyes flickered. However, Im not going to apologize! She took in a deep breath, and her chest and stomach expanded like a balloon. The next mont, she exhaled out a breath of black flas.
Vur snorted, and white light leaked out of the gaps between his teeth. He roared, and a beam of white light shot out of his mouth, colliding with the black flas. For a brief mont, the flas and the laser beam pressed against each other, neither of them budging; however, that mont didnt last very long. The black flas evaporated as the white beam of light grew thicker and thicker.
Grens eyes widened, and she shifted to the side, dodging the laser. Contrary to her expectations, the laser didnt stop. It grew even larger as Vur swiveled his head, following Grens movents. Gren ran to the side, avoiding the laser as it swept through the room, leaving a trail of molten rock on the palace walls. Kondra! Gren shouted and leapt while flapping her wings, avoiding Vurs laser by going over it. You taught him your purifying laser!? She dove downwards, avoiding the beam once again as it swept over her head.
I didnt teach him, Kondra said and sighed. I hit him with it, and he learned it right away.
Grens eye twitched. Was that sothing a dragon could do? She avoided Vurs laser once more, and she slapped her paw against the ground. Her eyes darkened until they looked like dull black marbles, and a black circle appeared in the air above her head. Five bumps protruded from the circle, and a red hand extended out of it, the darkness falling away like water. The hand was connected to an arm which was also red. A thick manacle made of gold tal was attached to the arms wrist, and a golden chain extended from it into the black circle. Glowing white runes covered the arm, and Kondra recognized a few of them as sealing spells. The arm reached out until its elbow was exposed, and its palm blocked the ray of white light.
Vur narrowed his eyes and stretched his neck further, increasing the intensity of the laser beam. However, it didnt seem to do anything, so Vur stopped and frowned. Whats that? he asked.
A sealed evil, Gren said. She slapped her paw against the ground again, and the hand spread its fingers. It curled its middle finger and pressed its thumb against it, pointing the other three fingers at Vur. There was a sound akin to thunder as the hand flicked its finger, shooting a shockwave at Vur. It struck him, and he exploded.
Holy smokes! Emile shouted. Vur died again!
Susan slapped Emiles head with her wing. Thats Moms technique, stupid.
Flas appeared behind Gren, and Vurs body materialized with his front paws outstretched. He grabbed Grens tail before she could react and braced himself with his hindlegs. With a grunt, Vur swung Gren like a baseball bat, slamming her into the wall. The black light in Grens eyes disappeared, and the black circle with the arm faded away. Vur heaved, and he swung Gren the other way, slamming her into the wall once again. She curled her body and lunged at Vur, but another pair of legs sprouted out of Vurs sides and blocked her from grabbing him.
What the? Question marks floated above Grens head before she was promptly slamd into the ground. Vur stared Gren in the eyes without responding. He lifted her above his head once more and grunted as he braced himself.
Im sorry! Gren shouted. Im sorry, okay!? Put down, please!
Vur snorted and released Gren, dropping her onto the ground with a thump. He nodded and sat on his haunches. Dont let it happen again.
Grens expression darkened. She glared at Kondra. No wonder why the aggressive holy dragon didnt want to fight Vur. You couldve warned about his six legs.
Kondra blinked. I didnt know he had them though.
