Prologue.

I turned to the man who was standing on my left. " Call a retreat. Now. ". He gaped at me like I was crazy.

  " But..Commander! We could easily take this army out!" The man said.

  " But can we take a dragon out at the same time?" I asked him, with an eyebrow raised.

He looked at bewildered and shook his head. " You best be right Commander."

 I watched as he passed on the message to the other men. That was done. I looked back at the enemy soldiers. Might as well keep them busy, just long enough to let my men retreat.  I stepped forward with my Kalharkas , again. I flicked my left wrist and said, " Brisinger."  Then that sword lighted with fire. The men in front of me gasped and backed up.

 Then I flicked my right wrist and said," Aqreenus" and that sword had water on it. It was flowing, but not a drop fell to the ground. The men gave one last look at me and fled. I nearly dropped both of my Kalharkas as I laughed. Too easy. I looked behind me. Most of my men were almost off the battle fields. Got to wait for all of them.

  Then I heard that same roar, and this time, it came from right above me. I looked up. The beast was black. I looked back at my soldiers. Almost all.

 " Commander! Look out!" someone screamed at me. Mmmmm? I looked up. Dragon. Coming right for me. I didn't have time to make a run for it. I had a split decision to make. I looked at my soldiers. Only 2 or 3 left. Good. I said the words. Then pain. I screamed.

 

  I sat up and screamed. Immediately my servants and guards came running.
