Wyvern Attack
"A dragon, sir! Cried Rowan. "I see a dragon approaching from the west!"
"Go get the wizard" Came the calm reply. "He should be somewhere in the town."
Rowan went to find Aidric. After finding him in the tavern (Naughty wizard!) Rowan explained why he had come to get him.
"A dragon! I saw a dragon heading from the west!"
"The black dragon?" Inquired Aidric. "The one attacking the farmhouse?"
"No." Rowan replied "This one is red."
As Rowan and Aidric walked up the path toward the tower, Aidric sees the dragon, now much closer than it was before.
"God help us." Whispered Aidric.
"What?! What's wrong?"
"A wyvern." Came the solemn reply. "A red wyvern. Very rare. Very dangerous."
"Behold wizard! Shouted the knights captain, Tristan. "The dragon approaches, can you ward him off with your magic?"
After a short pause, Aidric answered. "I can surely try"
Then the dragon flew faster, approaching the tower faster than possibly imagined. It swooped down, and let out a breath of fire. Engulfing the side of the tower.
A now familiar burst of green light emitted from Aidrics staff. And an invisible hand seemed to punch the dragon, causing it to fly backwards to regain balance.
"Your puny swords will do nothing to this dragon!" Aidric screamed to the knights on top of the tower. "Hide in the tower, and save yourselves!"
"I will not run in terror, while this dragon is attacking my tower!" Cried Tristan. "I would rather die bravely fighting, than hide like a little child!
"Same with me!" Said Espan.
"And me!" Replied Alan.
Aidric sighed in frustration. "Fine, fight if you must."
The dragon came flying in for another attack, but before Aidric said a word of the aincent language, Tristan flung his sword, straight toward the dragon. The dragon couldn't alter it's fast course, and it flew straight into the blade! The blade landed squarely in its eye!
The dragon let out a squeal, so loud that it temporarily deafened the knights closest to it!
"Well I'll be! Cried Aidric. "I can't believe it!"
Then he remembered the dragon was still alive, though hurting painfully. He said the most powerful spell he could muster, and from his staff came a giant fireball. Engulfing the dragon. The dragon became a giant flying fireball, and it flew away. Though not dead yet, Aidric knew it would die soon from it's wounds. Or another dragon would kill it, and eat it.
Later, while the towns inhabitants cheered for Aidric and the knights, a stranger in a black cloak waited in the shaodw. Silent.
He was evil. Pure evil.
