Chapeter 3
Tempest's POV ( I'm going to try this and see how it works out)
I waited three feet under the waters surface when I felt something disturb the surface. I looked up to see the white snout of a mountain goat. I slowly swam up making sure to not change my color or patterns, or accidentally spark the water or freeze... wait I could freeze the goat and then warm it up and eat it under the safety of the water. I smiled to myself making a slight flash of white but he snout pulled up and I heard a bleat and some fast wind sounds before a snap and a large splash entered my vision as well as the head of a decent sized animal.
I recoiled in shock as I watched the goat head sink past me leaving a trail of blood, and then I growled loudly and shot out of the water roaring, but there was nothing there. I tilted my head confused.
I saw the shadow, and the tracks show that it seemed to land right here and... wait is that a shoe print I narrowed my eyes at the shoe print and then I noticed the talons. They weren't near, cat, or wolf prints. I raised my paw and put it next to it and I saw that they were a half size smaller than mine, but they matched. Another dragon was out there, I wasn't alone, and a human rode her.
Not for long I said shooting into the air and extending my senses to find of the dragon was still in the area, and then I tried to find he human, but with no avail for the wind blew their scents away before I could get it. I turned to my regular form and shot after the nearest cave. Turning to my regular appearance, and I was about half-way there when I felt a shift in the wind and a scent of blood and burning meat reached my nose and I shot after it.
I landed a half mile from the encampment and saw a group of people an elf, a human that smelled of magic and then I noticed the sword on his waist and the pommel was wrapped in wire and it had a red ruby on he hilt. A dragon riders sword, I've heard stories of dragons that choose riders and go with hem by choice, and then I noticed something blue overhead and I saw it flying over and I changed my scales to match the forest around me.
It landed in the middle of the and I noticed the dwarf and some guardscamp, but I wasn't worried about them. The elf would be a little more challenging to sneak up on especially if she was also guarding the rider, but it didn't matter because I didn't plan on going any further but I edged a little closer until I saw the slightest tilt of the elf head making me stop. I watched the other dragon and saw that she was young still, about my age and still growing, but I was to be always bigger than her.
I watched as she looked around and her eyes caught mine and I swear that I saw something in them... sadness, and I knew why. She like me and the dragon and rider of my past and my dreams was alone in this world. A dying species clinging to anything that could mean their survival.
I watched them until dark when hey slept and then I moved in, quietly, silently, and I went over to the dragon and saw that she had a wing and a tail curled around her rider like she loved or cared for him, and I scowled angrily but left them alone and climbed a tree watching them. Hen I saw the dwarf come into the camp and look at the boy and his dragon with a little fear like he wanted to wake him but feared the dragons rage of being torn from her sleep. I smiled, he should be afraid, afraid of what we can do when we're angry, but I can be more devastating than the female dragon and it wasn't a good thing.
I wanted to take to elf but she would be a very hard one to try and take especially when she is so alert even in sleep, but I saw the dwarf go over to a tent off to the side further from the fire and more in the surrounding forest than the others. He barely touched thereby when the she-elf came out looking very annoyed and I smiled.
This ones a trained fighter I said as I watched them talk and she had a small flash of anger and annoyance but she went back into her tent grabbing a bow, a quiver full of arrows, and knives as the dwarf went to an opposite tent nearer to the fire. The she-elf came out looking around before muttering angry curses at the elf for being weak and stupid to wake her up. Then she ran into he forest and climbed a tree, and I took this as my chance. I took away my glamour and I heard a yip behind me making me look back to see a pack of wolves cowering in fear and then one stepped forward growling and let loose a howl that made the camp go into a frenzy. I growled loudly at ruining my surprise and my tail was around the howling ones throat in seconds lifting it into the air and slicing and biting into the others as it choked. I bit the last wolves head off and felt the choking wolves struggles stop and I dropped it and went into the sky to see what was happening and I saw that the camp wasn't disturbed at all in fact they were still sleeping and I saw more wolves closing in. Then one of them lost its heat and another and another until one seemed to change course and instead of running away like the scared animal it was it ran full speed at something and then moved to the side every so often and I shot down and saw it on top of the elf lady and I growled loudly as I came into view behind the lady elf as she tried grabbing a knife and I stepped on the knife closest to her making her sigh in defeat and the wolf backed up whimpering as I stalked forward.
Then it turned around but I chuckled and my tail shot out and wrapped around its neck squeezing and lifting it into the air as it's claws scratched at my scales not doing any damage. Then I brought it to my face and showed it all of my teeth as it's eyes seemed to refocus and I tightened and there was a loud crack as it's neck snapped and I dropped it and turned around grabbing the bow flung across the area and the quiver still well full of arrows and brought them closer to the elf as I watched her stand. Then I flicked my paw holding down the knife and it landed point in the ground at her feet.
I turned away from her and started to walk off and an arrow struck the tree next to me I just walked past it and then one shattered agains my scales and another and another, and it just annoyed me though I kept on walking. Then an arrow went into the spot in between my webbed claws and it stung but I snapped it in half, pulled it out and kept walking. Then I felt the forest nature change and the grass grew and wrapped around my legs, the branches trapped my wings and trapped them against my body. Then two knives sunk into my webbed part of my paws and I hissed from the pain but waited there as the elf came to my front, and she took her time as well.
Really a nature spell to try and restrain me I said you could've just asked that you wanted to speak with me like a normal being I ripped through the grass around my legs and pushed my wings out making the tree branches snap and I ripped out my tail from the ground and opened my maw ripping through the vines. Then I lifted my paws to my mouth one at a time and ripped out the knifes spitting them at a tree making them embed up to the hilt, and then I called upon the ice inside of me and lightly frosted the areas in my paws.
"I-I didn't think that you were actually wild, I've never seen a wild dragon before, well at least not in person, and I hurt you aren't you angry" she said looking a little scared of what she did and regretful.
No your regret it apology enough I said and I opened my wings and shot into the sky do not tell them about me, this is our little secret for now, I'll be watching.
Thanks for reading and I'll have another chapter out soon, also tell me how you liked this POV and I may continue it because I liked it, bye.
