Dragon's Bane
Written by Citlaleztli
Grezz, is a young boy of seven years. He is the second child of a humble couple of Stoneburrow.
His older brother Fredrich, joined the knights training camp somedays ago. Grezz has been lonely, he used to play with Fredrich all day long; Now he only sees him at night and he is too tired to even speak a word. Grezz hates the knights, he believes that they took his brother away.
One night Grezz looked at his brother, he was sleeping really peacefully…he looked like a dead man. Grezz, walked off the house and looked at the trees. He was thinking about the good old times with his brother, but the glimpse of a shadow disturbed his mind. The shadow was behind the trees. It was thin and tall, two white eyes looked straight to Grezz and then it showed a pair of giant wings and flew up to the starry sky.
Grezz’s jaw opened wide on disbelieve and ran inside the house. Exited, he jumped around his parents.
Grezz
Mom, Dad. I just saw a dragon!
It was amazing…
His Mom smiled to Grezz. His Dad scratched his chin.
Dad
Son, dragons are not real
Grezz
I saw it with my own eyes, it was tall and...
Dad
Hush! Its late, must be your tired mind. Go to sleep now.
Grezz, look down to the floor and walked straight to his room.
Grezz
Yes…Dad
Grezz, jump to his bed and looked at his brother. He closed his eyes and everything went black.
The cold wind woke him up, he opened his eyes slowly. He was lying over the grass in a place that he did not knew. There was someone right in front of him, a man using an armor of scales and bones of a dragon. His helmet was the skull of a small dragon.
Grezz looked at the sword of the man, it was made of bone and some glowing symbols, are over it.
Grezz, screamed and tried to run from him, but he saw more men like the other one. Standing all over the field, blocking all the scape routes.
The man, walked towards him and kneel right in front of Grezz.
Erizel
Kid, my name is Erizel. Don`t worry we will not hurt you.
Grezz, looked at the man without blinking his eyes. The man had fur as white as the snow and the color of his eyes was white.
Grezz
What? Where am I?
Erizel
We are in the middle realms a place, a place where the dead are trapped, where they cannot go to heaven or hell. Am afraid that me and my friends are trapped in this place. The dragon that you saw is the sorcerer that trapped us here, his name is Malakk.
Grezz, fall back over his butt. He looked confused.
Erizel
For years we have been trying to escape. Using an old ritual, we managed to create a torch that would guide us to Malakk and break the curse. You are that torch.
Grezz
Well you are using dragon bones as your armor…I get why he hates you.
Erizel
No,boy! Dragons hate mortals, that’s why we destroy them. We are the Dragon`s Bane. Your world is free of dragons thanks to our order. Kid please we beg you, take us to Malakk.
Grezz notices the tone of desperation on Erizel`s words.
Grezz
Fine... I must guess that the cold air that is chilling me, is the path to Malakk.
Erizel
Yeah, that’s right boy.
The boy said no more and followed the chill air stream. The knights followed the kid.
They crossed the field and then walked over a frozen lake.
Grezz
So…You are dead?
Erizel
Yes, we have been dead for a long time.
Grezz, moved his tail on fear.
Grezz
How does it feel to die?
Erizel
You don`t wanna know that.
Suddenly the ice cracked and a tentacle came from the deep, it took Grezz and pulled him down. Erizel, jumped to the water. A big and deform creature was going to pull Grezz inside his mouth,but Erizel and the other came over. Erizel, cut down the tentacle and pulled out Grezz from the lake. The others continued to fight the creature.
Erizel
Kid, are you alright?
Grezz was not responding, he looked shoked.
The other knights, emerged from the water.
Erizel, hold him from the shoulders and shoot him.
Grezz
You saved me…
Erizel
Yes,well I have to protect you.
Grezz, looked at the knights for some seconds and then continued moving.
They found them self’s in a frozen forest.
Grezz
What was the best part of being a knight?
Erizel
The feeling of defending your people, knowing that you did good for the other ones.
Grezz
Sounds nice.
They found them self’s in front of a frozen castle. The knights took their swords and opened the wooden door.
Grezz, walked right behind them. The place was a mess, most of it was debris. Sitting over a throne of bones, there was an elder dragonHe had white fur and lots of white eyes all over his body, he had four horns all over his head. He dragon, smiled.
Malakk
So now you use children? That`s a low one, even for you.
Erizel
Says the mortal eater.
The knights ran towards Malakk and started to battle.
Ice monster came from the ground and walls, joining Malakk in battle. Grezz, took a mace that was on the floor. He looked at the knights, he saw that Malakk was choking Erizel.
Grezz, lifted the maze and run toward them. He jumped and smashed Malakk`s head. Malakk, took Grezz from the neck and lifted him.
Malakk
You little shit. I should have eaten you.
Erizel
Leave him alone.
Erizel, pushed his sword inside Malakk`s chest.
A light blinded Grezz…and suddenly he was back on his bed.
He looked at the window, it was early morning. He noticed something cold right next to him. His older brother was staring to him. Right to Grezz there was a big bone sword and an armor of dragon bones. Over the skull of a dragon, there was a note that said “One day they will fit you. Thanks kid. Erizel.”
From that day, Grezz knew that he wanted to be a hero… a Knight.
