Chapter 35: Fireworks.

—By SunnyFox57

Aragorn, Queen Sylveevee, and Drake stood on the tallest building in the city, watching for any sign of Jethezzar. “Y’all ready?” Sylveevee asked. Drake grunted in approval. Aragorn nodded slowly. “So. The plan is that I distract the wyvern, weaken it as much as I can, then Sylveevee will take it down from the side, and only if we are in ABSOLUTE peril are you, Drake, to help.” Aragorn said, stroking his beard.

“Or when you’re about to die.” Added Drake. Sylveevee and Aragorn blinked at him. “That’s what ‘peril’ means.” Sylveevee said. Aragorn shook his head. “Okay. Y’all go ahead and scout to those buildings on the left. I’ll stay here. If I’m right, that large blob in the sky headed our way, is Jethezzar.” Aragorn said. Sylveevee and Drake quickly headed toward the buildings on the left.

Aragorn inhaled, and withdrew a sword. It was a fine blade, found in a random room in the mansion. It’s hilt was black colored, with a ruby red gem imbedded in it, and the long blade was silver and dangerously sharp. “Just like the good old days.” He muttered under his breath.

The shape of Jethezzar, the wyvern, was flying closer and closer. His scales, glittered a bronze color, as the sun hit them. A small dull glowing Rune, sat in his talons. Aragorn ground his feet into the ground and braced himself, raising the sword slightly to the side. Smoke seeped out of Jethezzar’s nostrils as he eyed Aragorn, with amusement.

“And who are you?! Are you here to stop ME?” Jethezzar bellowed proudly. A bead of sweat dripped down Aragorn’s face. “Yes.” He said, quietly. “Fool.” Jethezzar growled, a hissing sound started coming out his mouth. Aragorn recognized this sound. He’d only heard a few times, as their aren’t a lot of wyverns in his universe but he knew it well enough.

Jethezzar was very close to him now, his claws were lengthened and his jaw unhinged. Aragorn dropped to his knees just in time, as a hoard of flames burst from the wyvern’s mouth. “Ahh weak spot.” Aragorn though to himself, driving his sword into the wyvern’s stomach, as it flew above him.

Jethezzar roared with rage and struggled to regain his flying, dark blackish- red blood dripping from his stomach. Aragorn stood and faced the wyvern calmly. “Is that all you got?!” Jethezzar bellowed. Aragorn grinned, seeing a flash of magneta in his peripheral vision. “No.”

Sylveevee the wyvern suddenly appeared out of thin air, and rammed into Jethezzar’s side. She was a smaller wyvern than Jethezzar but she fought fiercely. They struggled in midair, claws grappling(Jethezzar was only using one claw though, because he was clutching the rune, with the other.) at each other. Aragorn swiped at Jethezzar with his sword, whenever he got close enough to him.

Jethezzar, unfortunately was more powerful than Sylveevee. With a burst of speed, he shoved her into a empty building, toppling it and her to the ground. Sylveevee the wyvern was held, tightly under his claws. She struggled mightily and let out a burst of flames at his face. They leapt of his scales, not harming him. “Weak.” He growled. Jethezzar’s gold eyes glittered with success. “And now you will die!”

“NOOOO!!!” Drake cried, transforming into a wyvern, flying out from his hiding place and slamming into Jethezzar’s neck. Jethezzar hit the ground with a thud. “You cannot defeat me!!” Jethezzar shouted and shook Drake off.

Drake and Slyveevee faced him, preparing themselves for his attack. “There’s three of us against you. Give up.” Drake growled, his tail flicking anxiously. “You’re not even real wyvern’s. You’re humans. Fascinating….but weak. You deserve what is coming for you.” Jethezzar said slowly, steam rolling from the corners of his mouth and the hissing sound occurring. Aragorn rolled off the roof of the house and ran up to Sylveevee and Drake, holding his sword high. “Give up.” Sylveevee growled.

Jethezzar smirked arrogantly. “Against what? You puny humans? Ha, as if I would ever do that!” Aragorn’s medallion glowed and Jethezzar, Sylveevee, and Drake’s shadows shifted. “We’ll see about that.” He whispered, closing his eyes, zeroing in on the shadows.

“GET HIM!!!” Sylveevee shouted and she and Drake, and the shadow wyverns charged Jethezzar.

“WHAT BLACK MAGIC IS THIS?!?!” Jethezzar roared, ripping apart one of the shadow wyverns with his sharp teeth. He spotted Aragorn standing idly by, eyes closed. “You!” He swiped Sylveevee and Drake to the ground with his long spiky tail. They fell to the ground and transformed back into humans. They had grown too weak. Sylveevee had a scratch running across her left cheek and Drake’s right arm was very red as if burned.

Jethezzar stomped over to Aragorn and immediately the remaining shadow wyvern disappeared as Aragorn was very afraid, and accidentally released control over it. Jethezzar grabbedAragorn gently(Which is not very gently if you’re a human.) with one claw and flew up into the air, grinning evilly. “I’m afraid this IS the end. You humans put up a good fight but now…you will die. I haven’t killed a human in a long time. I’ve forgotten their agonizing screams. Maybe you’re care to refresh my memory..” Jethezzar hissed.

He unhinged his jaw, prepared to deliver the last blow. Aragorn was too weak to fight back. He sighed, preparing for the end.

But it wasn’t the end. A bright reddish- orange blur slammed into Jethezzar’s other claw and the rune started plummeting to the ground. Jethezzar’s focus turned to the rune. He gasped, dropped Aragorn and flew after his precious rune.

Aragorn fell. Luckily he landed in a soft rose bush and didn’t break his back. Something light landed on top of him. Aragorn gasped for air and looked up. Amber eyes faced him. It was a strange creature with long ears, amber eyes, seven tails, and a reddish- orange body. It was a fox. A fox with seven tails. Above all the tails was a white marking that looked like a five. A rough rope collar was around it’s neck.

Sylveevee and Drake ran up. “Aragorn!! Are you okay?!” Drake called. Sylveevee limped up. They drew back when they saw the fox in him. “Don’t move I’ll kill it.” Drake said in a low voice. The fox’s eyes widened and it opened its mouth and… “No!!! Please don’t try to kill me!! I’m not food!! And I just saved this guy!” The fox protested, it’s voice sounded feminine.

All three humans, jaw’s dropped. “You can-you can talk?” Sylveevee gasped. The fox nodded slowly. “Yeah.” She said. “Can you-get-off-me?” Aragorn gasped. The fox’s voice sounded vaguely familiar to him but he couldn’t place it. The fox grinned sheepishly. “Yeah, yeah, sorry.” She hopped off him and sat down on her hind legs. Aragorn stood up, pulling thorns out of his hair. “Where’s Jethezza?” Aragorn growled. “Probably gone. He doesn’t like his rune in danger.” The fox said, softly. “Where are you from?” Drake asked. The fox wrinkled her nose at him, swishing her tails. “Well….technically I’m from a universe called “The Arks Over heaven and was transported here a LONG time ago. I wasn’t always a fox. I used to be a human, I got transported to-to a universe that I created. And almost got hanged by the people I created. Then everything glitched and I appeared here. I think I got mixed up with another version of me from another universe. A version of a fox me….so here I am! I was just hanging out, when I saw Aragorn about to become barbecue and went to save him.” The fox said.

Aragorn blinked. “How do you know my name?” He asked. The fox bit her lip, as if realizing she’d done something wrong. “Well-um-it’s kind of hard to-explain-uhh…never mind.” Aragorn frowned distrustfully. “What’s your name?” Asked Sylveevee. The fox smiled slyly at them, and cocked her head. Her tails shifted excitedly, as if she’d remembered something very important. “I forgot! My friends call me Sunny. My name is Sunny.”
