Chapter 11
Oidoas came back with a large yellow shirt and a pair of men's boxers "I figured you would like to wear something more comfortable." "I would." She nodded slowly and shifted forward so Oidoas could carefully dress her. "May I ask how you two became mates?" He pulled her hair back out of her shirt and carefully out of the way of her face so she could see. "I didn't like the way he treated the humans and we got into a fight. I lost my eye and his lost the ability to fly." She looked up at him and only now did he notice the fog over her eye and the scars on her face. "After the fight came to an end and we were licking our wounds, he walked over to me at sundown. He held his head high and I thought he had come to finish me off." She admitted as Oidoas gently picked her up bridal style and began to carry her out of the room and out of the house. "Instead he praised my fighting skills and demanded me to be his mate. Of course I refused. You don't demand. And it just kind of started a chain reaction of him asking each day for me to be his. Eventually I told him that if I could see that his heart wasn't just dark and cold, I would be his. He began to make changes around the clan's home. Small but subtle changes that we all needed. One day I finally said yes." Bellarose finished her story after Oidoas took them outside. "I will have to carry you, is that okay?" "I understand." She nodded as he quickly transformed into his dragon form and held her in his large foot. He shifted his front leg against his chest before he spread his wings and slowly lifted himself into the sky.
It took only a few minutes for Oidoas to make his way over Maddrair's Meadow and he slowed even more as he came to land.
"KILL THEM ALL!!!"
Maddrair's voice echoed through the valley and Oidoas moved to the left sharply as he avoided a brown dragon charging straight for his side. "What's happening-!" Bellarose asked in shock at the sudden jerk from Oidoas and tried to peek through his claws at the ground below. "I am not sure Miss." Oidoas rumbled as he shifted in the air and glared at the dragon in front of him. "Please move." "I will not. Oidoas! You are wanted for the murder of my Lady!" The brown dragon growled out. "Murder?" Oidoas asked. "I'm not dead." Bellarose uttered as she stared with confusion. "OIDOAS!"
He turned and glanced at the ground "AKO!" She was trapped under a bunch of dragon as Stargazer sauntered to her slowly, ready to kill her. Maddrair looked up from the ground and grinned widely "You murdered my sweet Bellarose, I am just returning the favor." "Oidoas, wait! He must be confused!" Bellarose called from his claw as he tensed up. His body began to shake in rage. "Cover your ears." He muttered softly to her before he took in a deep breath. "No please-!" She begged but he ignored her. Oidoas reared his head back to the sky and let out an ear piercing roar. It was so powerful that it shook the very sky and lightning crackled through the air and straight into Oidoas' throat.
"Oh no..." Ako's eyes widened in fear, "Don't-!" But it was too late. The lightning built up in his chest and he threw his head down towards the ground, letting out another roar! This time the lightning shot from his mouth and straight onto the ground, where the ground then soaked up the energy and carried it to all who was touching the ground. Everyone was attacked by the powerful lightning strike and stumbled around until the attack was over. Oidoas was known as the only dragon to ever eat lightning and use it as an attack. Oidoas landed and growled as he moved over to Ako to make sure she was alright. Maddrair shook the attack off and hurried over to Oidoas, scratching at his back "Face me you murdering coward!" "I didn't murder anyone!' Oidoas snapped at Maddrair's neck and shifted around to face him. "Stop it!" Bellarose screamed from her place in Oidoas' claw, tears streamed down her face as her child screamed out in fear. Maddrair backed up slowly and looked down at her "Bella...?" He looked shocked. "You're alive?" "I am." She nodded slowly. In the shock, Maddrair changed into his human form. He stumbled backwards.
He only wore a pair of jeans as his scarred back made wearing shirts very uncomfortable. His long grey hair was pulled back into a short ponytail and revealed his sharp features of his chiseled jaw and high cheekbones. His neck also has scars that clawed their way up his hairline. "Bellarose..."
He hurried to her after Oidoas set her down and he hugged her close to his body, taking in her wonderful scent of roses. "Careful." She pushed him away lightly to reveal their child in her arms. "Is that-?" Maddrair asked softly and she nodded "This is your son, Tryas." His eyes widened agin before he let out a breath, "When Stargazer returned in blood and told me that he barely escaped the attack, I-I...didn't know what to do with myself." "Stargazer?" Bellarose asked "He wasn't with me at the Springs, my human was." "He wasn't?" Maddrair's red eyes glowed in anger as he turned his head to Stargazer "You lied to me?" Stargazer backed up from him "No, I didn't! She must have hit her head! I saw Oidoas there!" "I was meeting with the Empress and I had just returned only an hour ago." Oidoas piped up from his position and the children ran over after finally escaping the cage. "Berry!" Ralph ran over and hugged Bellarose tight "You're alive!" "Ralph, yes I am. I had discussed with Rain about faking my death but it seems that someone had jumped the gun." She looked over at Stargazer and Ralph's eyes widened "Berry run!" He pushed her backwards "It's the dragon from the Springs!" Maddrair stepped forward and he quickly shifted back into his dragon form. Stargazer backed up as he stumbled through his lies, trying to cover his tracks.
With fear in his eyes, but a smirk on his lips, Stargazer took to the skies. "You'll never catch me now!" Maddrair ran along the ground and shifted his form a bit as he spread out his wings. They were tattered from the fight many years ago but he refused to let this lying weasel get away from him. He jumped up after a bit of a run and took to the skies for a few seconds before crashing back onto the ground. "Mad please! You're going to hurt yourself!" Bellarose called out to him but he ignored her, continuing to run and jump to try and take flight. Stargazer watched in amusement. Maddrair could not fly. His constant refusal to heal his wings properly has left him completely flightless. "You're weak Maddrair. You couldn't win in a fight against a simple female and she took your wings. And now you can't even protect her from your real love." Stargazer taunted him as he flew around at a gentle pace, the fear completely gone from his mind. "Real love? Are you talking about your annoying ass? I would never fall in love with a dragon who can't bare to fight along aside his Alpha in the middle of a battle!" Maddrair recalled from the war and that Stargazer was no where to be found "Why would I ever fall in love with a wimp like you?" Stargazer's eyes widened as his heart cracked in two at the horrible words. "A wimp?" Then rage returned to his eyes "You fell for a whore! I have seen Bellarose with other males long before you! She is only with you for power!" "What did you call my mate!?" Maddrair screeched out. "She's a whore!" Stargazer repeated, his body now shimmering with little tiny dots of star dust. His body growing in size. He never thought it would come to this type of battle. Maddrair glared up at Stargazer and let out the same roar Oidoas had from the lightning attack. His whole body began to glow with that of lava magma and he jumped up into the air. The lava formed extra layers over his wings and he pumped them with all his might.
"I WILL END YOU!"
Oidoas ran passed the others and jumped into the air, swiftly transforming and following his brother into battle with his own mighty roar.
"What is happening!?" Mimi called out as they watched the battle unfold in the air above them. "Dragons have powers. Usually these are only used as a last resort like in the Great War." Ako whispered softly as They watched the two brothers surround the fast flyer. "Why is his skin all sparkly?" Ralph asked them. "Stargazer has an ability to make himself bigger and stronger known as Stardust. Maddrair has the ability of lava and Oidoas lightning." Ako explained "Long before humans existed, dragons controlled everything. From the wind to the ground. But things got extremely messy once humans learned that if they killed dragons, they could "control" elements. So for many years dragons were murdered for their abilities." Ako shook her head "The Empress only did a little to help us as her little sister was trying to communicate with the humans. And it worked for a while until Velvet, the selfish dragon, controlled a small group to murder the Empress and instead they ended the life of her younger sister. From then on humans became the enemy."
"Then why are you helping us?" Jack asked and folded his arms over his chest. "Because we know that not all of you are dragon murders."
Stargazer may have stardust on his side but Maddrair and Oidoas were both top generals back in the day. Stargazer tackled Oidoas after a lightning strike and tore a few inches into his underbelly until Maddrair pulled the younger male off of his brother and threw him several feet away. He slowly sauntered to the liar and grinned darkly "Any last words?" Stargazer stood slowly, trying to limp stay from his Alpha. Maddrair dug his burning claws into Stargazer's hide and pulled him back towards him "You will pay for your crime against my mate." He grabbed at his neck, forcing his jaws open and spewed lava down his open mouth and into his body. Life left Stargazer's eyes only a few seconds afger Maddrair's last attack. But he didn't stop until Stargazer's head detached from his body.
With a final roar of triumph, the battle had ended.
