Chapter 10
Alvin The Murderous's POV
Alvin knew that he had missed his mark. Qibli had turned his head to the left and Alvin had struck thin air. Alvin quickly opened his wings and dived to avoid the tail swipe that had retaliated his failed attack. Alvin quickly rolled under Qibli and clawed at his underbelly before darting out to avoid the following slam that Qibli did to try and crush Alvin. Moon noticed the shifts in the sand and blasted a fireball at Alvin, but he skill-fully dodged and slashed at Moon's right arm. The black dragonet screeched in pain and fell to the ground, clutching her now bleeding arm.
I turned my attention to Qibli and saw him sprint toward Moon. Angry, fear and guilt filled his eyes. I quickly scurried away and watch as he began to embrace and comfort the nightwing. Luna and Jeboa were looking for me and I had to make my move.
So, Qibli loves Moon, now that is a cliche after all, nightwings seem to have the most number of hybrids, Alvin thought before charging at Qibli again. Alvin leaped onto the obvious sandwing's head and bit in, unleashing his paralysing venom on his helpless victim, which near instantaneously stopped the sandwing dead in his tracks. Moon was stunned and saw blood drip down Qibli's head and noticed Alvin's bloodied mouth. She screeched and scrambled away before firing another fireball at Alvin.
Alvin took the moment to change his scales back to their original colours, grin and deflected the fireball with his heat-proof gloves onto Qibli's face, adding a new scorch mark to the right side of his face. Alvin quickly jumped off and changed his colours again to blend into the surroundings. Moon, Jeboa and Luna quickly jumped in to the air.
"Be careful, that is Alvin and his bit can paralyse you," Jeboa warned Moon and Luna.
'Traitor' Alvin thought bitterly before leaping into the air and showing himself. Luna used this moment to fire two strands of flame silk at Alvin. Luckily, Alvin was only struck with one of the threads on his left arm, which had began to regenerate from the scorches it had received. Alvin quickly flew up above the three.
'Great, a flame silk,' Alvin thought again before grabbing a flash bang from his pouch and throwing it at the dragons below him. Jeboa quickly closed her eyes, when the flash bang lit up. However, Moon and Luna were blinded by the bright light and fell to the ground stunned and dazzled. Alvin took that opportunity to dive after Moon and quickly bit her on the arm when Moon was struggling to get up. Moon froze and collapsed to the ground.
Now it was standstill between Alvin, Luna and Jeboa, now Jeboa knew Alvin from when Alvin washed up with his party of spies that had went to Pantala on the very beach that they were on now. They had met Jeboa there and since she was alone and promised to keep her end of the bargain. They left her alone, but Alvin didn't know why, but he would come to the beach and talk with Jeboa on several occasions. It was supposed to be one of those days today, but a change of plans.
"Alvin, what are you doing," Jeboa asked with a hurt tone in her voice.
"I am doing my job," Alvin retorted with malice lacing and dripping off his voice, " I am here to take the silkwing back to Pantala and to get those two seawing idiots from the leafwings. Oh and I don't know, rid of this mindreader!"
"Why, do you want to you want me to came with you," Luna asked.
"Well, that is because I had been to that continent over a few hundred times," Alvin retorted. He was pissed off more than usual. How can this silkwing not see that he wants to help her.
"Why do you want Moon dead," Qibli barely whispered out as he still felt paralysed.
"I don't want her dead, I just want to get rid of her powers," Alvin corrected, "However, I need my king's decree, in order to do it. So, we will have to wait until he comes."
"Why do you want to rid me of my powers," Moon asked softly with fear and outrage in her voice.
"Well, two thousand years ago, the ruler of my tribe at the time declared that mindreader that are not a part of the tribe are to be eliminated as they can discover and expose our secretive tribe,' Alvin explained.
"Then, why are you telling us this," Luna asked as Jeboa held her back from Alvin.
"Well, my king has a wondrous ideas and he is discussing things with the continent's queens, Luna," Alvin said.
"How do you know my name," Luna asked readying her silk sacs.
"Well, I did my job and spied on you all," Alvin said causally.
Alvin noticed that Qibli was moving a bit move and jumped onto his head and bit him again just to make sure before moving to Moon and biting her again. Then, he walked to Jeboa and Luna.
"So, let's talk Jeboa," Alvin causally said to Jeboa and sat down to catch his breath.
"Yes, talk. Talk about what you are trying to do," Jeboa said enraged by how calm he was.
"Relax, Moon would have met a far worse fate if she had met basically anyone else from the Order of Spies," Alvin explained.
"And why is that," Jeboa interjected.
"That is because I only follow the king's orders, which means that any mistake I make that is based on instructions and main goals are a reflection of the king," Alvin said, " Any other member from the Order of Spies would had just killed her and be done with it."
"You got a point," Jeboa said defeated and sat down next to Alvin. Alvin's plan had worked! Now, he has two minutes before Victory Strike came. Alvin continued to talk with Jeboa, until a wide, white portal opened up from Alvin's right and his majesty the king appeared in all his glory while Earthquake and the Queen of the Seawings followed him.
