It's guard duty again for Darkphoenix, Shortear, and Nightstealth, the night
is chilly and crisp, the moon is full, and it's like the palest of white
marbles, the stars are shining the brightest, first Darkphoenix points out
different stars and outlining of the stars make, "look,
Nightstealth, see that upside W?"
Nightstealth asked, "What is it? The big W?"
Darkphoenix reply, "no, silly that's Cassandra, the wicked queen who claim she
and her daughter surpass the gods in beauty." then soon they grew bored with
pointing out the stars, and soon, they're fighting sleep, then Darkphoenix
said, "hey, how about a story?"
they nodded, and Darkphoenix started to tell the story of her ancestor, Dragon
Strike the Conquistador
* * * * *
It was the warmest day of winter, so warm in fact, a fool might think it's
spring, but one thing is colder then the coldest winters, colder then the
coldest glaciers, and even colder then the smile of ferahgo, it was the laugh
of Dragon Strike the Conquistador! he laughed as he listens to the reports of
his spy, telling about a vast plain, many hundreds of leagues wide and long,
and that there's a mine of jewels near it, he said, "good, garge, now go,"
Dragon Strike played with a beautifully made Saber that was made from stolen
badger metal as Garge left, then Dragon Strike called for his general, a slim
rat came in, and is nervous when the Molted wolf laugh his blood-chilling
laugh, the rat ask, "what is it, m' Lord?" he answered, "prepare the troops,
and march onto the nearby plains, if you suceed in capturing it, I'll give you
a plot of land, and 30 slaves to work your fields, and a-" he whispered to him
that the rat will be some emaralds if he does, the rat who's greed went
againest his better thinking prepare his troops, never knowing that his leader
won't full-fill his promise, for Dragon Strike rather own all the land, and
the whole mine, and won't share it with anybeast. then later that evening, the
rat have all the troops ready, and willing to go, Dragon Strike eyes sparkle,
and he laugh, the more he laugh, the colder the day seems to get. then they
marched out to the plains, where the innocent woodlanders never knew a thing,
then suddenly, CLANG! ZIPPP! BOOM! CLASH! TTTWWWRSSSST!!
what was only sounds of crickets, is now fill with sounds of battle, of war,
of doomsday to woodlanders as chaverly troops, and artillery beasts pillage,
ransack, distoryed, and all other words that could discribe it! then after
half a season of this bloody battle, all resistance forces were capture,
either force into slavery, or killed by the "widow-maker"
a machine that's use to make heads roll, litherly, now, he gain a land, and
riches, he order the slaves and his troops to build a strong fortress, he
never knewed that the fortress had beaten time for many, many seasons, and
that his desendant was said in ancient stone that Dragon Strike put in the
court, where later with his last breath, stuck the famous saber, which the
same same desendant would use.
* * * * *
"Who was that descendant?" asked Shortear eagarly, as Nightstealth is figuring
out who it is.
"it's me, I was the one who took the saber, and decipher the ancient words of
that stone." said Darkphoenix, she showed him the saber, like every detail she
said that her great ancestor had, right down the little dragon head that was
carved into the old seath of the saber, and she added,
"I name this Saber Dragon Strike, after my ancestor, and the first wielder of
it."
then their turn was over, and they went to bed, Shortear and Nightstealth fell
asleep before they hit the pillows, and started to dream about the olden days
that Darkphoenix tells them, while in her bunk, Darkphoenix look out the
window, and to the North Star, that was said that her ancestor went when he
took his last breath, to join the wolf warriors, and rulers, she said to no
beast in piculiar, "Dragon Strike, if you hear me, I'm the one that the stone
you laid your weapon with your dying breath said, I'm the one to rise, to
relive our true names and titles." she thought she heard a voice whispering to
her, but she fell asleep before the voice can finish.
