The Twisted Sands- Chapter 3

“This is a Wyvern.” 89 pointed to the dragons. “There are three types. Lightning, fire, and poison. Today you’re going to learn how to ride them.”

Slav hopped on a Poison Wyvern and flew it around. He landed and the Wyvern bit a wandering Paracer.

“That’s not even the best thing.” Kalo yelled.

“This is!” Jenny whispered to her lightning Wyvern, and it shot a massive bolt of lightning. Nox winced, painful memories of lightning coming back to him.

—————————

“The giga roared with fury. He let out a blast of lightning.

Wait... a blast of lightning??

“What are you doing? Kai found the man and held him at gunpoint.

“We are advancing science! Weaponizing our tames for more power!”

Titan roared and tried to claw out his lightning cannon implant.

“You’re hurting him!” Yelled Kai. He ran back into the battle, fumbling his armor on.

Nox distracted the Giga, who shot a furious lightning blast at the cage. It shattered, and Cutter leaped out, attacking the furious giga. The giga stomped on the ground, and bit down hard on something.

It was Roughtooth.

“No!!” Nox yelled, running towards his brother.

It was too late.

(P.S., this flashback is chapter 12 of The Swamp)

—————————

“Nox! Are you okay?” Cutter shook him awake. In the distance, Nox could make out Kai on his Fire Wyvern, Jenny on a Lightning Wyvern, and Slav on a Poison Wyvern.

“Yeah...I’m fine.” He threw up on the ground.

—————————

“This place isn’t very much of a ‘heaven.’” One of the soldiers said.

“Quiet!” Haphis replied.

“I’m just saying-“ the soldier had sealed his fate. Haphis picked up a cluster grenade.

The scream of a loyal soldier being killed by his commander didn’t faze anyone else. They slowly trekked across the badlands, looking for those stupid people who had tried to stop him.

The girl’s griffin! Haphis saw its corpse sprawled out over a flat rock, being slowly gnawed away by troodons.

“We must be getting close.” He snarled. “It’s finally time for my revenge.”
