Twenty-Six
"Bring me the dragon eye lenses." Krogan hisses.
Dad nods and walks forward. His eyes were staring at me. I can't look a him now. I can't look at them. They are so disappointed in me as I am. Their eyes grip into my soul.
Dad holds the lenses up. Krogan takes them and smiles. He hands them to Viggo. I turn to Astrid. She gives me a reassuring smile. I have the dagger now. I do not need to follow Krogan's orders anymore. I'm a free man. But he doesn't know so I have to play my part.
I slither forward. I draw my blade. Krogan turns to me.
"Kill him." Krogan says.
I look at him with wide eyes. There were a series of shocked gasps. The twins look amazed.
"The climax approaches." Tuffnut mutters.
"This is a power grasp." Ruffnut mutters.
"Quiet you two." Astrid hisses.
I slither forward. Guards push Dad down. Toothless growls. It's hard to hold back tears. I draw my blade. I aim it at his neck. I'm so sorry father.
"Son, you don't have to do this." He says.
"You're right." I say.
I slam my blade into a guards chest . I rip my blade out and slam the other guard with my tail.
"I don't have to do this anymore." I hiss.
"Have you forgotten your master?!" Krogan yells.
I turn to him.
"Yes I have." I hiss.
I'm my own master. I shouldn't have to take orders from anyone. I never have to take orders from anyone. I should take my own orders. I should be my own master.
Red magic like fire shoots out of me. A red snake made of smoke like magic shoots out of me. Astrid flips the key to the dungeon. She and the others breaks out.
"What are you doing?!" Krogan yells.
"What I should've done weeks ago." I say.
