Hi @ all first of all.


Here is part 17 at last. It took a while because I was on vacation.

A shudder ran through the ranks of the soldiers as well as the dragons. Then the silence of death reigned over the illuminated valley. Nexulum grinned diabolically, but his eyes remained cold as he peered through the seemingly endless rows of soldiers. Then he wrapped his tail around McDowll's neck and picked him up. He turned the lifeless body so that the soldiers could see it well. “Do you see that?” Nexulum's powerful voice echoed in the valley, frightening the soldiers even more. Some soldiers nodded in response, but most remained silent. Nexulum grinned again and continued. "Your silence is saturated with the smell of fear. But it also shows that your life is important to you. ... Unfortunately, your life is worth nothing to me" The soldiers listened intently, but filled with fear, Nexulum's voice continued."Here," he continued, and wrapped his tail tighter around the general's neck, "he deserves what he got." The blood from the general's tattered neck kept dripping to the ground, where it had already puddled would have. "You humans are worthless," he said as if to himself, and hurled the corpse at the soldiers, who shrank back in horror. Nexulum turned her back on them and walked back to the other dragons. But Krel'ta came to meet him. "Kar kima tul kel," he asked with suppressed anger. (Why did you do that?) "Sarkel," replied Nexulum. (What done?) "Kima tul ras ta general!" (You killed the general!) "Zal pulta." (So what.) "Kir stor jatac katar!" (They are going to chase us now you idiot!) "Sor tel juis al katar! "(Never call me an idiot again!)


Nexulum straightened up to full height, seeing that he was almost a head taller than Krel'Ta, and looking at him with sparkling eyes. "Hotac kil thit." (But if you are.) Nexulum's ruby ​​red eyes began to glow, and he cocked his wings."But what if it is me," he asked in common language. "I mean, you are no better dagger than those who belong to the Alliance," Krel`Ta yelled at his brother. This made a face as if he had just been pierced by a hail shower titanium bullets. After a few seconds that face gave way to an expression of sheer hatred. Nexulum raised his right fist, and the force of the blow catapulted Krel`Ta far into the ranks of the soldiers. Nexulum jumped into the air, and charged just before Krel`Ta's face. He grabbed Krel`Ta by the neck and picked him up. “Never say something like that to me again!” Nexulum held his free hand in front of Krel`ta`s face and let go of him at the moment when Krel`Ta was hit by the energy ball. While Krel`Ta was being dragged backwards, he dragged some soldiers with him, who then sank either dead or seriously injured to the ground. After many, many meters, dead and injured, he managed to dig his claws into the ground and stop.While braking, Krel`Ta had lowered his head, and now he raised it again. The sparkle in his sapphire blue eyes spoke of the anger that simmered inside him. Nexulum had achieved what he wanted, but unfortunately the now highest ranking officer had a cruel thought. "As long as they are fighting, they don't pay attention to us and we can slowly withdraw. Except .... Yes, we will!" These thoughts flashed through his head at lightning speed, and he explained to the Soltaden, who was standing next to him, his plan. The plan spread like wildfire among the soldiers while Nexulum and Krel`Ta were engaged in their battle. The other dragons had meanwhile perched on the withered grass, but they weren't taking their eyes off the soldiers.


The officer watched every movement of the two fighters and waited for an opportunity to strike. "Come on. Just fight your way tired. You will see what you get out of it." His eyes glittered, because he was sure that he would not return to the headquarters empty-handed.His eyes darted to the sky and what he saw made him grin. In the light of the headlights a large structure flitted across the sky like a shadow. But you couldn't tell what kind of shape it was, because she wore a kind of cloak that veiled her outlines. Nobody saw the figures in the sky, only the officer. After making sure that his Trumof was still there, he wanted his attention to return to the fight.


The fight had reached its climax. Nexulum and Krel`Ta were facing each other and had their hands clasped and tried to push each other backwards. Her claws dug into the back of the other's hands and made deep cuts. "Why are you fighting me Krel`Ta? This fight has no point." "I fight because I was made to fight. And I only fight against you to show you that we have no chance anyway!" "What do you mean?"You have been fighting the Alliance since the day they died. But you didn't understand something. "" What did I not understand? "" You always told us to fight the Alliance to destroy it. You kept forcing us to keep fighting. However, we were always ready to make peace with the Alliance. But you wanted us to keep fighting. "" What's so bad about fighting? You yourself said that we were created for one purpose only, and that is to fight. "" Have you still not understood?!? "We don't want to fight anymore! We have long been tired of fighting. You as our leader did not understand us." "What did I not understand?" Nexulum's anger had reached a point where he could hardly contain it. "That we just want to die!" Krel`Ta yelled the last sentence at his brother and let go of him. Nexulum dropped his arms, then looked first at his brother and then at the other dragons.He looked sad, and apparently aware of his guilt, at the ground. Nexulum's voice was thick as he spoke. "I didn't know ..." He got no further, because the officer's voice rang out and the soldiers pointed their weapons at Nexulum; Krel`Ta and the other dragons.




That's it for now with part 17. I hope you enjoyed it.
