Heroes of Pandora

Chapter 15

“What do we do now?” Jaxz asked. “I don’t know, none of us can swim we can’t help them” Nash replied. “Pings a natural swimmer, and I think The captain can swim, what we need to do now is what we came here to do, not worry about what we can’t control.” Ron said. “Your right Ron, lets get the supplies and then we can meet up with the others.” Nash said. “If their ok.” Jaxz said sadly. They marched through the strange pink, purple, and cyan woods, there was no creatures anywhere. It was completely empty, and the low gravity made it a strange place to walk they more hopped than walked. Nash and Jaxz couldn’t fly so they both felt vulnerable, then they heard a snap. “What was that?” Nash asked. “I don’t know stay on guard.” Ron replied. They continued on, then they heard another stick crack, whatever was following them wasn’t very skilled in the art of stealth. “Who’s there!” Ron said, “We know your out there.” He continued. At that moment nine rock drakes went visible, they were surrounded. “What do we do with them m’am?” One of them asked, a larger drake with lime feathers replied “Take them to him.” She said.

They were brought to the once great Fort Olympia, now ruins, there were scorch marks all around, the damage was new. Fort Olympia was a large three story compound, the roof was all but gone, and most of the windows and furniture smashed or burned.

It was a grim sight, then a huge arm grabbed the wall where the roof once attached, and another then the dragon pulled himself up, crumbling the walls with his weight, some drakes cowered back slightly at the sight horrifying black beast. “What are these creatures..” the dragon said in a dismissive tone, his voice was deep, and had an accent that rolled his syllables together, it was both elegant and terrifying. “They were trespassing my Lord.” the lime feathered commander replied. “Mmm good work commander emerald, you caught a stupid bird a bat and a.. whatever that other flying thing is..” he said in a sarcastic tone. -the dragon being a guardian, didn’t know much about species names- “what should we do with them.” Commander emerald replied. “I couldn’t care less, throw them off the island, kill them for all I care. now leave I have work to do.” The dragon said, lowering back down into the fortress.

The drakes escorted the three away from the colossal structure. “Your free to go.” Commander emerald said. “Really? I thought the dragon wanted us killed.” Ron asked. “Your all dead anyway, you might as well go wile you can.” She replied l. “What do you mean?” Nash said. “The dragon means to wipe out all life on the ark.” She said. “how?” Jaxz said. “The obelisks.” She said.
