Okay, this is only a one-piece story, it's for my english coursework and would just like to know what other people think of it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle of the New Beginning.
Bang. The Earth around me thundered, everyone looked towards me, weapons poised ready to attack, I felt a warm breath against my neck excitement coursed through me. I jumped and spun around hitting my partner on the nose it roared with shock, I was howling with laughter, the huge black dragon had spikes on its body acting as very, very strong armour, the only dragon alive in the entire galactic space continuum and it chose me out of everyone to be its master.
“Could have came a bit sooner, you think?” I grinned at her knowing she’d give me a good brushing off.
“Well I would have been faster if my stomach didn’t start growling and now a day it’s like a barren”
“You can go now she isn’t going to bite unless provoked” I yelled angrily at the troops that were starting to surround Shadow, people these days! They know I have a guardian dragon yet they trust me and not her.
You look weaker what’s wrong? I sent.
Well not having enough food is getting to me, you know these people look, Very appetizing.
I grinned. You know you can’t eat anyone from our side.
That’s the hard part.
Well we have enemies out there that need to be gotten rid off.
Logan came over I couldn’t help but glare at him. He just smiled at me, well he gave me that stupid smirk which was always on his face when he approached me.
“Nice dragon what’s its name?” He sounded interested for once not in the usually bored mood I guess the excitement of the war ahead was on his mind; I took advantage of his good mood.
“Her name is Shadow”
“She is beautiful”
I’m starting to like this guy.
Then go marry him.
I wish I could. She chuckled,
I looked at her with utter disgust which just made her chuckle even more, of course to other people it sounded like a roar making the troops start to return, I just glared at them again and they back off.
There was a loud roar from the enemy side lines it sounded like King Kruul, Shadow let out a bestial roar of anger, she loved war it was like a kid playing with its army models, creating a strategy, then destroying the enemy models then waiting for your parents to tell you off.
Look after Logan we have been assigned to watch his back, if one of The Power of Five get left behind we are all doomed, yes they said that a replacement will come for them from the future or the past but I don’t want to take any chances.
Yes ma’am. She said mockingly, I gave her a slight glare, but it faded fast. No messing around on a war zone.
The Navajo Indians my brothers and sisters in this war signalled that they were ready, by raising there swords or some even bowed towards me.
I walked up to Liam, Pedro, Jack and Scarlet leaving Logan to gloat over Shadow in bright green envy.
“They’re ready” I said coldly, I always had to put a mask on when in war, you can’t show your feelings, like right now I was scared and dreading every second of it but if you look at me I look calm and ready for battle.
“You know the plan you take out the flying monsters and anything big enough to cause too much trouble or damage in this case” Liam’s voice was monotone obviously ready for what is lying ahead, he turned towards “But also keep an eye on Logan”
“You know I will” I sighed
He nodded me off as if to say that is all.
I walked over to Shadow, Logan was gone.
You ready?
Of course never miss out on a war like this Battle of the New Beginning but obviously it won’t be remembered the last one wasn’t, shame this one has a fiery dragon and I will never be remembered.
Don’t have any worries, we’ll have to write about this to let the other five know what to do and what their jobs will be.
Never thought of that…
That’s why I’m the brains. I grinned cheekily at her receiving a slight glare from her which made me laugh a little putting my mind at ease about this war.
Logan started to walk over to us, again.
“Looks like I have been assigned to where you are”
“Okay, Good thing your one of The Power of Five, we could use some extra muscle”
“Storm, I could beat you easily anyway” He grinned
“How would you know? You don’t know my power!” I glared
“What is it then?”
“My name” He looked at me confused for a moment, I just smirked and gave him a little bit of a wink.
The gong sounded, that was our signal, and everyone started to roar and charge forward.
I smiled at him.
“I got your back, trust me”
He nodded looking nervous, it looked incredibly cute from my perspective but to others it would look like a sign of weakness.
I shot into the air with Shadow behind me, leaving Logan gaping; I saw four huge, gigantic, mutinous monsters a couple of miles ahead.
One looked like a humming bird experiment gone wrong, its beak was long and curved slightly at the end, its feathers were a bright green and blue, it looked matted and very dirty, and its eyes were a piercing yellow, almost like a cat’s eye. It was hovering above King Kruul; he looked vicious, towering above everyone else, with massive muscles; his eyes were white, there was no pupil or iris. His skin also looked like it was rotting away.
One was a huge monkey with humongous fangs, his skin looked slightly wet covered with a thick brown liquid which seemed to have a repulsive smell, its tail had spikes on the end and he seemed to be swinging it from side to side, eyeing up everyone on our side, this was not going to be an easy battle.
The third one was a huge black vulture with red eyes, it’s feather were also matted together and had the same brown liquid on his body, it’s neck and head didn’t seem to have this liquid or any feathers on, he should be an easy kill. It started to circle the battle also eyeing everyone up, but he never seemed to come too far over to our side.
The fourth one was a huge spider with eight legs and about forty red eyes it had huge black and brown hairs coming out of its legs, you could see its fangs clearly and they were dripping with a sickly yellow poison. All four of them looked absolutely hideous.
I headed towards the humming bird like creature, Shadow going higher and higher into the clouds to come up behind the hummingbird, I went in front of it and clapped my hands, lots of lightning bolts struck the humming birds head, it was coming for me, everyone was shouting with excitement from the ground, it filled our enemies with fear and horror but also a huge adrenaline rush. Shadow was closing in on the humming bird, she decided to spiral behind with flames, I raised my eyes to the heavens and murmured a few words, there was a sudden dark mist swamping everyone below, the wind was like howling wolves calling for their prey, the rain was heavy and pelting on my face, it was starting to thunder. Lightning struck the humming bird’s head; causing it to stop for a few moments giving Shadow enough time to veer in front of it and swipe her powerful claws along the hummingbirds neck, the humming bird managed to dodge the attack swiftly by vaulting higher in the air at the last moment. The only thing I could think of was of slicing its head of, or setting it completely on fire.
Suddenly I realised the most vital part of this war I was assigned to.
“Oh no Logan…”
Where is he? I need to find him I made a promise to watch his back and I’m not going back on my word.
She didn’t reply but shot down to find him, she has always been faster then me, she just stay behind me to humour me.
I shot down in another direction to land to find him, the rain was cold and making little mist when I breathed, it was also very cold out here it was suppose to be summer when the sun should shine but for years and years the sun has just been a huge black hole in the sky as if all the life and hope had been drained from it, all it gave you was pain and misery, all of those who wanted more money or more power in this world so they decided to let King Kruul out, but they were deceived; turned into monsters, slaves and meat for the King's army, it was disgusting.
I was searching for fifteen minutes a few arrows came my way but I easily blocked with my two-handed fire mace; my mace hardly weighed a thing I’d been practising with all sorts of weapons since I could remember, my father was always paranoid that something bad was going to happen.. and it did, he also used to teach me right from wrong, some of the things he showed me still gave me nightmares till I was about 12 but then he got brutally murdered.
I had zoned out for a while remembering everything my father taught me, then I remembered how he got killed and how he looked like when he died; I was in the closet when it happened and I saw everything.
Men in suit were circling our house, my father picked me up and put me in his bedroom closet, they didn't know he had a child. I remember seeing him stand in front of the closet with a quizzical look upon his face. The door burst open and men in black suits were at the bedroom door, with guns in their hands pointing them at my father, I almost let out a squeak so I held my hand over my mouth to prevent anyone from hearing it.
The voices were hushed, and continued to get louder, the two men in black suits turned towards each other and nodded. There was a sudden bang and my father fell to the floor with a thump, they turned and left, talking quietly to each other. I sat there looking through the shutters of the closet, staring at my father's lifeless body, I felt a few tears escape my eyes as I continued to stare. I counted a minute and came out of the closet, I went to his body and sat beside it. I checked for his pulse but it wasn't there then I rested my head on his chest hoping that I had been mistaken. I heard no thump of his heart. My hands balled into fists, grabbing my fathers t-shirt, I was crying heavily, I could feel a slow burn of rage rush through my body, my body jerked upwards towards the ceiling and I let out a blood-lusting roar. I sat near the body for a few hours 'till I grew sleepy, I crawled slowly towards the closet and shut it behind me. Using my fathers clothes as a blanket and pillow, I fell asleep. When I finally awoke, the body was gone.
I saw flashes of bloody blades and clashing of shields, I heard roars of anger and cries of the injured being crushed as I was barging my way through in search of my friend. I decided to fly seeing as it was easier than ground. I flew higher and spotted Logan fighting against a humongous green ogre dripping with gooey saliva.
I flew behind Logan just as he was about to fall, I gripped his shoulders hard and gave him a big shove, to make fly back towards the ogre.
Then I heard him say,
“You are going to stab your sword through your stomach Ogre, then into your heart”
The ogre did exactly what he was told, the blood was oozing out the places where the sword struck. I shivered in horror, having that ability was terrifying.
We went back to back fighting our other opponents quietly.
“How are you doing?” I asked
“Yeah, I’m doing great now, not easy to see your opponents behind you” Logan said looking distant.
“Are you hurt?”
“Of course not” He smiled, as if that was the most stupidest question I could of ever asked him, it also cause his eyes to crinkle.
“Sorry for the weather” I grinned
“That was you?!” He sounded very shocked and in complete awe.
“Of course it was don’t you think I could hold so much power?”
“Well… Erm… Of course you could it’s just strange thinking someone other that The Power of Five could hold a power…I mean King Kruul is another issue” He explained “And also being so short” I could tell he was grinning.
I quickly slammed an energy bolt into my attacker’s stomach leaving a gaping hole with a look of horror and despair in his black mouldy eyes, He was probably a zombie summoned from an old grave and fed on many victims for flesh, The Skeletons were the worst because they could repair themselves they could only be killed with fire, zombies could be killed easily if you aimed for the right spot.
“I’m gob smacked seriously that power should be like made into The Power of Six” He sighed
“There is no way I am part of your team I am a loner, a orphan from the orphanage in East Midlands and I am someone from the almighty Power of Five?”
Stop getting your self down, there is a possibility. Shadow sent to me with a fierce growl.
I’m not though I think the crazy Spanish monk would have said something in that book they have.
How do you know he could have said there was a possibility?
“Have the others reached the King yet?”
“I’m not sure I’ll ask Shadow to get a look”
Go look for the others and tell me where they are and what they are doing.
Okay let me know if you need me to fire some asses.
What would I do without Shadow by my side guarding me day and night?
I heard a swoosh as she left the ground and flew high up into the air.
“She has gone to have a look, if they are at the King I shall get her to fly you to them, at least you will miss most of the fighting.”
“Then I’ll feel left out” he pouted slightly.
I laughed out loud.
“Okay we will go and fight that type of monkey so Shadow can transport you safely?”
“Thought you would never ask”
Shadow came back, making no nose as she landed, it always stunned me how she could do that and yet being so big, but then again this world is always full of surprises, even if it is as insignificant as making no noise when you land.
They are busy fighting at the moment.
I relayed the message to Logan and headed off.
Logan was so cocky around everyone but when he was on his own you could see him staring out as if something bad was replaying in his mind, Whatever it was it gave him nightmares he would whine all night, he asked for a separate room before, Jamie had told me all this for some reason.
We headed towards the monkey with Shadow in front killing the worthless enemies which we could easily slaughter with a flick of our fingers, this left a trail of dead bodies behind us, but the space was soon filled with warriors and mutinous monsters fighting.
We finally reached the monkey like creature, it swung a huge spiky wooden stick around while it’s tail was just skimming over the ground, knocking over anyone near him, even some of his allies got knocked down during this time, but it did not matter seeming as most of them were from our side.
Maybe if Shadow start to attack it might be occupied with her while we attack, I told my plan to Shadow and Logan they agreed.
Logan pulled out his oak-land bow and got out his different type of arrows.
There were poison ones, paralytic ones, and all sorts he was very skilled with bows and swords they named their weapons Logan’s was Malachite giving control of animals but he wont use it on the beasts that King Kruul have summoned because they are evil and Logan knows he could become evil if he wanted to be.
We reached the monkey creature he was swinging a huge spiked Axe around with his tail sweeping the floor we were about thirty feet from it Logan raised his bow and aimed for his target he was going for the feet with a paralytic arrow it wouldn’t do much for awhile it would just make the monkey go numb and lazy, making it mis-calculate its power and aim, making it easier for us to get in some blows.
“We wait for Shadow” He demanded.
He wasn’t using his power but he was in charge here.
“Okay”
Shadow came behind the monkey diving for its tail she grabbed the tail between her powerful jaws her teeth piercing the skin a little but not enough to cause too much pain but it grabbed the monkeys attention. Logan raised his arrow and let go the arrows pierced the soft skin on the monkey’s neck. The monkey didn’t seem to be going numb and clumsy, the monkey grabbed Shadows neck with its hands trying to strangle her. I screamed feeling her pain, I was on my hands and knees on the soggy ground, things were starting to go black, there was a rumble of thunder, tears were running down my face it felt like someone stabbing me in the gut and scratching at my neck.
“What’s wrong?” Logan sounded worried.
“Shadow” I gasped.
He saw what was happening and ordered some people to take me away and I heard screams Shadow was going crazy now realizing I was being taken, she rammed her triangle pointed tail into the monkeys gut, it pierced the skin and she twisted her tail inside the skin, she breathed fire into the monkeys face, I couldn’t see her no more. She roared angrily.
Where are you!? I could here the panic in her voice.
I don’t know I whimpered.
Everything went black…
When I awoke Logan was sitting next to me his face was masked with no emotion. He looked down at me.
“I’m sorry,” He whispered
“Don’t worry… Get back out there. Where is Shadow?”
“In the tent she seems to be unconscious she collapsed when we were trying to calm her”
“Go on you have a war to win”
He laughed.
“Alright, alright”
He walked out the tent. I sat there for a while staring at the ceiling, coming back to my senses. I got up and walked out the tent and headed for the biggest tent on this part of the area. I could sense her in there. I walked in.
“Get out, this is a rare specimen and we don’t want to cause it any stress” Said a woman in a leather dress.
“Get off my dragon now” I growled.
“It is not your dragon it is ours, captured from King Kruul” She replied
I felt hopeless without her awake.
Shadow? Are you there?
Yes, I am, I’ll try getting up.
What happened?
I went crazy trying to kill everyone. She laughed a humorless laugh, which made my gut go cold.
That’s not funny, they thought you were on the opposite side.
I know, but oh well, not much we can do now.
She pushed up with her front arms digging her claws into the ground then she moved her back legs to support her. She got up. Gave her head a shake to get back to her senses and walked over to me.
I patted her snout lightly, she licked my face, then started to nuzzle my neck. The people that were apparently looking after her stared in shock, I just smiled at them and walked out, flipping a finger as I was leaving
Same old Scarlet. I could tell she had an entertained look in her eyes.
Let’s go find Logan.
I jumped on her back, still feeling dizzy from the shock of being torn away from her. We flew for a while she started to go to ground she stopped above a group of monsters and fired with her flaming breath.
Hop off. She commanded.
I jumped off her back landing with a thump as I hit the floor. I saw Logan immediately his blond hair was matted to his face with sweat. I walked over to him casting a lightning shield around me. He saw me, swung his sword to the nearest monster and headed my way.
“I need to get to King Kruul” He told me
“Okay…Shadow! Get here now” I yelled
Shadow came and lent so Logan could jump on. He stared at me like I was a idiot.
“Get on she won’t let you fall, trust me”
He nodded nervously as he climbed on top of Shadow, They shot off into the air, I shot up after them wanting to get a good view. The clouds were still thick with rain, I was very close behind them, then Shadow shot down I heard Logan scream I couldn’t help but laugh he sounded like a girl, but then again it is hard ridding her for the first time.
I went below the clouds hovering watching the scene below me, Shadow landed a few feet away from Liam, Scarlet, Pedro, Jack, Now all that was left was Logan, the last of the five he jumped off Shadow and went to his twin brother Jaime. They all ran towards the King and he laughed louder than anything in the entire universe.
“You think only five can kill me?” He roared
“Storm! Get here now!”
I shot down, confused and pulled my dagger out and…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle of the New Beginning.
Bang. The Earth around me thundered, everyone looked towards me, weapons poised ready to attack, I felt a warm breath against my neck excitement coursed through me. I jumped and spun around hitting my partner on the nose it roared with shock, I was howling with laughter, the huge black dragon had spikes on its body acting as very, very strong armour, the only dragon alive in the entire galactic space continuum and it chose me out of everyone to be its master.
“Could have came a bit sooner, you think?” I grinned at her knowing she’d give me a good brushing off.
“Well I would have been faster if my stomach didn’t start growling and now a day it’s like a barren”
“You can go now she isn’t going to bite unless provoked” I yelled angrily at the troops that were starting to surround Shadow, people these days! They know I have a guardian dragon yet they trust me and not her.
You look weaker what’s wrong? I sent.
Well not having enough food is getting to me, you know these people look, Very appetizing.
I grinned. You know you can’t eat anyone from our side.
That’s the hard part.
Well we have enemies out there that need to be gotten rid off.
Logan came over I couldn’t help but glare at him. He just smiled at me, well he gave me that stupid smirk which was always on his face when he approached me.
“Nice dragon what’s its name?” He sounded interested for once not in the usually bored mood I guess the excitement of the war ahead was on his mind; I took advantage of his good mood.
“Her name is Shadow”
“She is beautiful”
I’m starting to like this guy.
Then go marry him.
I wish I could. She chuckled,
I looked at her with utter disgust which just made her chuckle even more, of course to other people it sounded like a roar making the troops start to return, I just glared at them again and they back off.
There was a loud roar from the enemy side lines it sounded like King Kruul, Shadow let out a bestial roar of anger, she loved war it was like a kid playing with its army models, creating a strategy, then destroying the enemy models then waiting for your parents to tell you off.
Look after Logan we have been assigned to watch his back, if one of The Power of Five get left behind we are all doomed, yes they said that a replacement will come for them from the future or the past but I don’t want to take any chances.
Yes ma’am. She said mockingly, I gave her a slight glare, but it faded fast. No messing around on a war zone.
The Navajo Indians my brothers and sisters in this war signalled that they were ready, by raising there swords or some even bowed towards me.
I walked up to Liam, Pedro, Jack and Scarlet leaving Logan to gloat over Shadow in bright green envy.
“They’re ready” I said coldly, I always had to put a mask on when in war, you can’t show your feelings, like right now I was scared and dreading every second of it but if you look at me I look calm and ready for battle.
“You know the plan you take out the flying monsters and anything big enough to cause too much trouble or damage in this case” Liam’s voice was monotone obviously ready for what is lying ahead, he turned towards “But also keep an eye on Logan”
“You know I will” I sighed
He nodded me off as if to say that is all.
I walked over to Shadow, Logan was gone.
You ready?
Of course never miss out on a war like this Battle of the New Beginning but obviously it won’t be remembered the last one wasn’t, shame this one has a fiery dragon and I will never be remembered.
Don’t have any worries, we’ll have to write about this to let the other five know what to do and what their jobs will be.
Never thought of that…
That’s why I’m the brains. I grinned cheekily at her receiving a slight glare from her which made me laugh a little putting my mind at ease about this war.
Logan started to walk over to us, again.
“Looks like I have been assigned to where you are”
“Okay, Good thing your one of The Power of Five, we could use some extra muscle”
“Storm, I could beat you easily anyway” He grinned
“How would you know? You don’t know my power!” I glared
“What is it then?”
“My name” He looked at me confused for a moment, I just smirked and gave him a little bit of a wink.
The gong sounded, that was our signal, and everyone started to roar and charge forward.
I smiled at him.
“I got your back, trust me”
He nodded looking nervous, it looked incredibly cute from my perspective but to others it would look like a sign of weakness.
I shot into the air with Shadow behind me, leaving Logan gaping; I saw four huge, gigantic, mutinous monsters a couple of miles ahead.
One looked like a humming bird experiment gone wrong, its beak was long and curved slightly at the end, its feathers were a bright green and blue, it looked matted and very dirty, and its eyes were a piercing yellow, almost like a cat’s eye. It was hovering above King Kruul; he looked vicious, towering above everyone else, with massive muscles; his eyes were white, there was no pupil or iris. His skin also looked like it was rotting away.
One was a huge monkey with humongous fangs, his skin looked slightly wet covered with a thick brown liquid which seemed to have a repulsive smell, its tail had spikes on the end and he seemed to be swinging it from side to side, eyeing up everyone on our side, this was not going to be an easy battle.
The third one was a huge black vulture with red eyes, it’s feather were also matted together and had the same brown liquid on his body, it’s neck and head didn’t seem to have this liquid or any feathers on, he should be an easy kill. It started to circle the battle also eyeing everyone up, but he never seemed to come too far over to our side.
The fourth one was a huge spider with eight legs and about forty red eyes it had huge black and brown hairs coming out of its legs, you could see its fangs clearly and they were dripping with a sickly yellow poison. All four of them looked absolutely hideous.
I headed towards the humming bird like creature, Shadow going higher and higher into the clouds to come up behind the hummingbird, I went in front of it and clapped my hands, lots of lightning bolts struck the humming birds head, it was coming for me, everyone was shouting with excitement from the ground, it filled our enemies with fear and horror but also a huge adrenaline rush.

Lightning struck the humming bird’s head; causing it to stop for a few moments giving Shadow enough time to veer in front of it and swipe her powerful claws along the hummingbirds neck, the humming bird managed to dodge the attack swiftly by vaulting higher in the air at the last moment. The only thing I could think of was of slicing its head of, or setting it completely on fire.
Suddenly I realised the most vital part of this war I was assigned to.
“Oh no Logan…”
Where is he? I need to find him I made a promise to watch his back and I’m not going back on my word.
She didn’t reply but shot down to find him, she has always been faster then me, she just stay behind me to humour me.
I shot down in another direction to land to find him, the rain was cold and making little mist when I breathed, it was also very cold out here it was suppose to be summer when the sun should shine but for years and years the sun has just been a huge black hole in the sky as if all the life and hope had been drained from it, all it gave you was pain and misery, all of those who wanted more money or more power in this world so they decided to let King Kruul out, but they were deceived; turned into monsters, slaves and meat for the King's army, it was disgusting.

I had zoned out for a while remembering everything my father taught me, then I remembered how he got killed and how he looked like when he died; I was in the closet when it happened and I saw everything.
Men in suit were circling our house, my father picked me up and put me in his bedroom closet, they didn't know he had a child. I remember seeing him stand in front of the closet with a quizzical look upon his face. The door burst open and men in black suits were at the bedroom door, with guns in their hands pointing them at my father, I almost let out a squeak so I held my hand over my mouth to prevent anyone from hearing it.
The voices were hushed, and continued to get louder, the two men in black suits turned towards each other and nodded. There was a sudden bang and my father fell to the floor with a thump, they turned and left, talking quietly to each other. I sat there looking through the shutters of the closet, staring at my father's lifeless body, I felt a few tears escape my eyes as I continued to stare. I counted a minute and came out of the closet, I went to his body and sat beside it. I checked for his pulse but it wasn't there then I rested my head on his chest hoping that I had been mistaken. I heard no thump of his heart. My hands balled into fists, grabbing my fathers t-shirt, I was crying heavily, I could feel a slow burn of rage rush through my body, my body jerked upwards towards the ceiling and I let out a blood-lusting roar. I sat near the body for a few hours 'till I grew sleepy, I crawled slowly towards the closet and shut it behind me. Using my fathers clothes as a blanket and pillow, I fell asleep. When I finally awoke, the body was gone.
I saw flashes of bloody blades and clashing of shields, I heard roars of anger and cries of the injured being crushed as I was barging my way through in search of my friend. I decided to fly seeing as it was easier than ground. I flew higher and spotted Logan fighting against a humongous green ogre dripping with gooey saliva.
I flew behind Logan just as he was about to fall, I gripped his shoulders hard and gave him a big shove, to make fly back towards the ogre.
Then I heard him say,
“You are going to stab your sword through your stomach Ogre, then into your heart”
The ogre did exactly what he was told, the blood was oozing out the places where the sword struck. I shivered in horror, having that ability was terrifying.
We went back to back fighting our other opponents quietly.
“How are you doing?” I asked
“Yeah, I’m doing great now, not easy to see your opponents behind you” Logan said looking distant.
“Are you hurt?”
“Of course not” He smiled, as if that was the most stupidest question I could of ever asked him, it also cause his eyes to crinkle.
“Sorry for the weather” I grinned
“That was you?!” He sounded very shocked and in complete awe.
“Of course it was don’t you think I could hold so much power?”
“Well… Erm… Of course you could it’s just strange thinking someone other that The Power of Five could hold a power…I mean King Kruul is another issue” He explained “And also being so short” I could tell he was grinning.
I quickly slammed an energy bolt into my attacker’s stomach leaving a gaping hole with a look of horror and despair in his black mouldy eyes, He was probably a zombie summoned from an old grave and fed on many victims for flesh, The Skeletons were the worst because they could repair themselves they could only be killed with fire, zombies could be killed easily if you aimed for the right spot.
“I’m gob smacked seriously that power should be like made into The Power of Six” He sighed
“There is no way I am part of your team I am a loner, a orphan from the orphanage in East Midlands and I am someone from the almighty Power of Five?”
Stop getting your self down, there is a possibility. Shadow sent to me with a fierce growl.
I’m not though I think the crazy Spanish monk would have said something in that book they have.
How do you know he could have said there was a possibility?
“Have the others reached the King yet?”
“I’m not sure I’ll ask Shadow to get a look”
Go look for the others and tell me where they are and what they are doing.
Okay let me know if you need me to fire some asses.
What would I do without Shadow by my side guarding me day and night?
I heard a swoosh as she left the ground and flew high up into the air.
“She has gone to have a look, if they are at the King I shall get her to fly you to them, at least you will miss most of the fighting.”
“Then I’ll feel left out” he pouted slightly.
I laughed out loud.
“Okay we will go and fight that type of monkey so Shadow can transport you safely?”
“Thought you would never ask”
Shadow came back, making no nose as she landed, it always stunned me how she could do that and yet being so big, but then again this world is always full of surprises, even if it is as insignificant as making no noise when you land.
They are busy fighting at the moment.
I relayed the message to Logan and headed off.

We headed towards the monkey with Shadow in front killing the worthless enemies which we could easily slaughter with a flick of our fingers, this left a trail of dead bodies behind us, but the space was soon filled with warriors and mutinous monsters fighting.
We finally reached the monkey like creature, it swung a huge spiky wooden stick around while it’s tail was just skimming over the ground, knocking over anyone near him, even some of his allies got knocked down during this time, but it did not matter seeming as most of them were from our side.
Maybe if Shadow start to attack it might be occupied with her while we attack, I told my plan to Shadow and Logan they agreed.
Logan pulled out his oak-land bow and got out his different type of arrows.
There were poison ones, paralytic ones, and all sorts he was very skilled with bows and swords they named their weapons Logan’s was Malachite giving control of animals but he wont use it on the beasts that King Kruul have summoned because they are evil and Logan knows he could become evil if he wanted to be.
We reached the monkey creature he was swinging a huge spiked Axe around with his tail sweeping the floor we were about thirty feet from it Logan raised his bow and aimed for his target he was going for the feet with a paralytic arrow it wouldn’t do much for awhile it would just make the monkey go numb and lazy, making it mis-calculate its power and aim, making it easier for us to get in some blows.
“We wait for Shadow” He demanded.
He wasn’t using his power but he was in charge here.
“Okay”
Shadow came behind the monkey diving for its tail she grabbed the tail between her powerful jaws her teeth piercing the skin a little but not enough to cause too much pain but it grabbed the monkeys attention. Logan raised his arrow and let go the arrows pierced the soft skin on the monkey’s neck. The monkey didn’t seem to be going numb and clumsy, the monkey grabbed Shadows neck with its hands trying to strangle her. I screamed feeling her pain, I was on my hands and knees on the soggy ground, things were starting to go black, there was a rumble of thunder, tears were running down my face it felt like someone stabbing me in the gut and scratching at my neck.
“What’s wrong?” Logan sounded worried.
“Shadow” I gasped.
He saw what was happening and ordered some people to take me away and I heard screams Shadow was going crazy now realizing I was being taken, she rammed her triangle pointed tail into the monkeys gut, it pierced the skin and she twisted her tail inside the skin, she breathed fire into the monkeys face, I couldn’t see her no more. She roared angrily.
Where are you!? I could here the panic in her voice.
I don’t know I whimpered.
Everything went black…
When I awoke Logan was sitting next to me his face was masked with no emotion. He looked down at me.
“I’m sorry,” He whispered
“Don’t worry… Get back out there. Where is Shadow?”
“In the tent she seems to be unconscious she collapsed when we were trying to calm her”
“Go on you have a war to win”
He laughed.
“Alright, alright”
He walked out the tent. I sat there for a while staring at the ceiling, coming back to my senses. I got up and walked out the tent and headed for the biggest tent on this part of the area. I could sense her in there. I walked in.
“Get out, this is a rare specimen and we don’t want to cause it any stress” Said a woman in a leather dress.
“Get off my dragon now” I growled.
“It is not your dragon it is ours, captured from King Kruul” She replied
I felt hopeless without her awake.
Shadow? Are you there?
Yes, I am, I’ll try getting up.
What happened?
I went crazy trying to kill everyone. She laughed a humorless laugh, which made my gut go cold.
That’s not funny, they thought you were on the opposite side.
I know, but oh well, not much we can do now.
She pushed up with her front arms digging her claws into the ground then she moved her back legs to support her. She got up. Gave her head a shake to get back to her senses and walked over to me.
I patted her snout lightly, she licked my face, then started to nuzzle my neck. The people that were apparently looking after her stared in shock, I just smiled at them and walked out, flipping a finger as I was leaving
Same old Scarlet. I could tell she had an entertained look in her eyes.
Let’s go find Logan.
I jumped on her back, still feeling dizzy from the shock of being torn away from her. We flew for a while she started to go to ground she stopped above a group of monsters and fired with her flaming breath.
Hop off. She commanded.
I jumped off her back landing with a thump as I hit the floor. I saw Logan immediately his blond hair was matted to his face with sweat. I walked over to him casting a lightning shield around me. He saw me, swung his sword to the nearest monster and headed my way.
“I need to get to King Kruul” He told me
“Okay…Shadow! Get here now” I yelled
Shadow came and lent so Logan could jump on. He stared at me like I was a idiot.
“Get on she won’t let you fall, trust me”
He nodded nervously as he climbed on top of Shadow, They shot off into the air, I shot up after them wanting to get a good view. The clouds were still thick with rain, I was very close behind them, then Shadow shot down I heard Logan scream I couldn’t help but laugh he sounded like a girl, but then again it is hard ridding her for the first time.
I went below the clouds hovering watching the scene below me, Shadow landed a few feet away from Liam, Scarlet, Pedro, Jack, Now all that was left was Logan, the last of the five he jumped off Shadow and went to his twin brother Jaime. They all ran towards the King and he laughed louder than anything in the entire universe.
“You think only five can kill me?” He roared
“Storm! Get here now!”
I shot down, confused and pulled my dagger out and…
