We had won the war. it had it's prices. We had lost our home, some of our friends, but we had emerged victorious. Now we are rebuilding. Everything was changing around us, the Dragons had confronted the humans and won. That meant the council had been wrong. Tw'One was the first to confront the council.
"Where were you during the battle?" she had asked them. There was a crowd there, it seemed there was always a crowd.
The council tried to defend themselves, "We were..." but it was a lost cause.
"Enough." demanded Tw'One. "You were hiding, there's no point in denying it." Tw'One was really working the crowd, but then she topped it off, and secured her position. She turned to the crowd, "Is this who you want leading you? Cowards and liars? join me for a better tomorrow!"
the crowd went insane! A this point they I think they were just sick of the council. I think they would have made anyone their new leader, even Tw'One.
Though what was most interesting about the war is what they're calling it. It wasn't The Great War, or The Dragon War. We call "The War Of One Battle" because that was all it took to win it. So yeah, we won with one fight, and you want to know something funny? no one has attacked us since. I think Darsk would be proud.

War Of Dragons, Part 16
We had won! Victory was ours! However you put it we had won! What was more surprising was that my had worked!
"Head back to the city!" I yelled. It was to fly back. We needed to heal up and celebrate. I climbed on Grarr, who looked just as surprised as me, and we took off.
"That was terrible." he said.
"But we won." I told him. "It was necessary."
"I know." he sighed. "It still felt terrible."
"At least we saved our home." I added. Then I immediately wished I hadn't spoken so soon.
"No..." whispered Grarr. "Not that."
I had been wrong. We hadn't defended our home. It was up in flames. Almost like a machine we started to fly. Not just me and Grarr but everyone around us. I could feel the wind from the others wing grow faster and harder. Our home was burning.
"How did this happen?" One near me asked.
"Were there any survivors?" asked another.
As we landed on the edge of the city it came to me, "Darsk." I said out loud. "Darsk had said that the catacombs connected from here to somewhere in the human world. They must have found the entrance on their side."
A Dragon near me nodded, "That's why they took so long to mount an attack. They were exploring the tunnels, but how did they get through the seal?"
"Darsk took it off." I whispered. Everyone stared at me, "The Council had told him to show me the catacombs, so he took off the seal."
Some Dragons near shuffled on their feet, "What now?" asked Grarr.
Everyone was staring at me, they were depending on me. "Grarr." I said. "You're coming with me. They must have a base nearby. We're going there. Everyone else look for survivors."
They all nodded somberly, and I climbed on Grarr. Then he kicked off the ground and we were flying towards the entrance.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Y-no! I just saw my home burning down!"
"I'm sorry." I didn't know what else to say.
"It's not your fault. I just want to kill whoever did this." Now I really didn't know what to say. So instead we fell out the entrance. It wasn't hard to find their temporary base, it was close. So I motioned for Grarr to land there.
"What are you going to do?" he asked.
"I'm going to hold their general at gunpoint." We landed on the edge of the camp and I told Grarr to stay there. There was a gate, but Grarr tore through it with his claws.
"Thanks." I said.
"No problem, just go get them."
I walked in there with mixed feelings. Part of me didn't wan to, but the other of me felt like I had to. It was weird. In the end need won out and I walked through the base. There wasn't anyone there, I guess they were all in their tents. Celebrating what they had done. It made me hate them even. more. I kept walking and walked straight into the tent marked "General" it was nice that they had made it so easy. When I went in I found the General talking to... Sophie Owlen.
"What? Who are you?" demanded the General.
"Abigail? What are you doing here?"
They stared at me like the answer was coming to them directly.
"I'm here to do this." I said pointing my gun at the General.
"WHAT?!" he yelled. "What do you want?"
"I want you to call off your army."
"Never."
"Call them off, or I will shoot you!" I aimed my gun at his head, but I knew they could see me shaking. "I will!"
There was a loud CLICK-CLACK sound and I turned my head. Sophie was pointing her gun at me.
"Put it down." she threatened.
"You wouldn't" I pointed mine at her.
"I will."
"You're just as brave as me." It was true. Her hand was shaking too. We stood there, guns pointing at each other. It was almost like we were daring each other, trying to see who'd shoot first. Then BLAMM!!! I had fired and Sophie fell to the floor. No screaming, no noises. Just a soft thump, when she hit the ground.
"You're almost as brave as me." I taunted. "Now for you." I swung my gun back to the General. "How about you call of the war?"
"If you kill me, the war won't stop." He shook.
"Yeah, but you remember that army you sent to distract us while you burned our home down?" He nodded. "Everyone one of those lives you used as a distraction is dead. The Dragons killed them all." His eyes went wide, and I made the final threat. "If you don't call of the war. I will rain a hellstorm of Dragons on you and your cities. Are we clear?"
He nodded and opened his phone, "Mr. President?" he asked. "I think we need to call off the troops." He knew I was making idle threats. he'd seen what I was capable of. I smiled and left him to talk it out. Then I walked out the tent, and back to Grarr.
"Did you do it?" he asked as I climbed on him.
"Yeah." I smiled as we flew back to Dragon City. We hadn't just won the battle, I had won the war.
"Head back to the city!" I yelled. It was to fly back. We needed to heal up and celebrate. I climbed on Grarr, who looked just as surprised as me, and we took off.

War Of Dragons, Part 15
I had one question when we reached the entrance, "Where the hell is Tw'One?"
One of the dragons closest to me answered, "I don't know, she wasn't in the groups you made."
"Why wasn't she..."
"Ma'am I don't think we can worry about that now, look!" He pointed with a claw. I looked past his claw and I saw jets and parachutes all streaming in through the hole. They were coming into our city, our home. We couldn't let that happen. But they were so coordinated! All those jets and soldiers and none of them were crashing into each other. What did we have? A thrown together army and a plan made the same way. But we couldn't let them take our home. Besides, we were an army of Dragons.
"Grarr!" I yelled! "Get us as close to the ground as you can and lay down some fire!" I felt the wind rush past my cheeks as Grarr went into a dive. I felt the heat coming from Grarr's mouth but I tired not to focus on that. Instead I took aim at the nearest foot-soldier and BLAMM!!! fired! Then I aimed again and BLAMM!!! squeezed the trigger! I was using the shotgun so it took all my power not to fall off but I managed to stay on!
"Grarr we need to go back up."
"Alright, alright!" Wind pushed against us as we climbed higher into the air. From up there I could see everything. It was horrible red blood covered the ground and I could here screams from up there. It was wrong but we had to defend ourselves! But that didn't make me feel any better.
Then I had to stop staring because out of the corner of my eye I saw a fighter coming straight for us!
"What do we do, Abi?" asked Grarr.
"Hard right!" I yelled. I got jerked to the right as Grarr made a sharp turn. GRATTA!!! GRATTA!!!
"Abi, they have guns!"
"I know!" I yelled. "Loop and see if you can get behind them!" The planes were directly behind us, so when Grarr went up and around we were behind at least two planes!
"Fireball!" I yelled. The heat surged from his mouth and the two planes erupted into flames!
"Scratch two." I muttered. We were both feeling pretty proud of ourselves for getting those two but then another came up and gave chase!
"Try the loop again!" Grarr did what I said but this time the pilot slowed and waited for us to finish. When we did we weren't behind him! "Crap." I muttered. "Grarr, go into a dive!" He did that and we started to fall. Faster and faster the wind was even cutting through my cheek. The plane followed us.
"Uh... Abi? Ground coming up fast!"
"Yeah, I know. Just wait." The ground was coming up and we were steadily gaining speed! At the rate we were going we'd crash pretty soon!
"Wait..." I told him and the ground got closer.
"Wait..." even closer/
"Now! Pull up!" The wind pushed against us yet again but we were quick enough to escape the planes explosion! We were rising fast... too fast! I couldn't keep hold.
"Grarr!" I yelled, but it was too late. I hit the ground hard, but there was no crunch. That meant it wasn't broken, right. I sat up and tried to move but I found a gun barrel in my face.
"Don't move!" said a voice higher than me.
"Right." I mocked. Then I grabbed his arm and used it to pull myself up! Then I stepped on his foot, and then elbowed him in the face! He fell to the ground and I whipped out my pistol.
"Don't move." I said and I pulled the trigger. BLAMM!!! I tried not to look to much, so I turned around and looked around me. The remaining soldiers were retreating, any planes there had been were gone. Only my dragons, my soldiers, were still standing. We had won.
One of the dragons closest to me answered, "I don't know, she wasn't in the groups you made."
"Why wasn't she..."
"Ma'am I don't think we can worry about that now, look!" He pointed with a claw. I looked past his claw and I saw jets and parachutes all streaming in through the hole.

Update Post
Hey guys! I know its a been an unacceptablely long time since my last post and I apologize for that. With school starting back up it's been hard to find tome to post but i will be doing better. But I'm not just here to apologize! I also have another thing to say!
*Ahem* I have working titles and plot outlines for Agon and Gallatian! The Gallatian story proves that I've watched "Aliens" twice because it is called: "Gallatians"!
While the Agon story will be dubbed: "Agon: The Search"!
Keep in mind that both stories are still work progress and I do promise a Sara Raft story.
Well then, that's all I have to say so "Th-Th-Th-That's all folks!"

War Of Dragons, Part 14
By the time we reached the town square, pretty much every Dragon was there, including Grarr and Tw'One. In fact Tw'One was at the front. She was standing in front of everyone, almost like she had taken charge. But everyone seemed to be fine with it so I didn't say anything.
"My fellow Dragons! He voice boomed across the crowd. "Our patrols have found a human army coming due north of us!" Immediately the noise in the crowd grew, and it began to quiver. "They should be here in thirty minutes!" She continued. "That gives us enough to time to prepare. I suggest that we do so." Then she stepped down.
During her speech, Grarr had managed to squeeze his way to us and we were standing together in a circle.
"So it begins." said Grarr.
"What are we going to do?" whispered Scott.
We'll have to fight." I tried to sound brave but it was hard. "I'll probably be on Grarr during the fight."
"No problem." muttered Grarr. "It's what I was raised to do."
"I'll be on the ground, I guess." said Scott. "I'm going to try and help push them off."
"We could just leave!" I said. "Technically, we don't have to fight."
"And what would Darsk say?" asked Grarr.
I sighed, "He would say that we have to defend our home. I guess we'll fight."
"I'm going to go prepare." whispered Scott. "Just don't... don't die."
"I won't I promised." and he kissed me on the cheek before he left.
I sighed and looked after for him for awhile but then Grarr said, "What was that? I thought humans only did that when they were in love." I glared at him. "Joking, just joking!"
"How about you?" I asked. "Are you ready for this?"
Right then Grarr looked about the most serious I had ever seen him, "Abigail, I wasn't joking when I said I was born for this."
We laughed a little at his joke, but it just turned into awkward silence. None of the Dragons in that crowd had stepped up, no one was volunteering to make a plan.
Then Tw'One came up to me. yeah, she approached me and asked, "Abigail? I know we aren't on best of terms but I need you."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because you're the only one here who really knows what we're up against. I need you to go up there and talk to the others, and maybe even improvise a plan?"
"Why not Scott?"
"Because you're the Dragon Rider! It's about time that you embraced that role."
I'll be honest, I hesitated she had hit me where it hurt. Bringing up the riders? I think it was a little out of line. But it worked, she got me to do what she wanted.
"I'll do it." I whisperd.
"Good." she sniffed. "But you better do it quick."
She was right, there wasn't time to think. So I motioned to Grarr to follow me and I walked straight to the head of the crowd.
Then I said, "Hello? My name is Abigail Sobe, some of you may know me as the Dragon Rider." All the heads there turned and a hush fell over them as I started to speak. "I've been asked to put together a battle plan for you guys and I will. We just need to think. The army will be able to parachute troopers in and they will have aircraft. Thankfully there won't be any tanks because they won't be able to lift them down here."
"How will we fight those?" one of them asked.
"Well... I need at least ten dragons covering entrance, they can start to attack the second things start to fall in." Ten of the Dragons in the crowd flew off. "The human troopers will be easy to beat, so I need about a fourth of you on the ground. Then I want the rest of you of you in the sky taking out the jets and copters."
"What about you?" a voice asked.
"I'll be on the front lines bringing support to those who need it. Now lets get going!" A yell ringed out from the crowd and I jumped on Grarr. Then the entire army we had just put together took offf toward the enterance.
"My fellow Dragons! He voice boomed across the crowd. "Our patrols have found a human army coming due north of us!" Immediately the noise in the crowd grew, and it began to quiver. "They should be here in thirty minutes!" She continued. "That gives us enough to time to prepare. I suggest that we do so." Then she stepped down.

War Of Dragons, Part 13
"Ha-Ha! That was great!" I yelled into the night.
"Wasn't it?" asked Scott.
I turned around to look at him and my hair flew into my face. All I did was brush it aside and said, "It was... wow. I have no words."
"Are we going back to Dragon city?" asked Grarr.
"No." I told him. "Mr. Terrace here owes me dinner."
"You're not worried that something will happen?" asked Scott.
"No. I want to spend as much up here as possible."
"I have no problems with that." said Grarr.
"All right, let's find a pizza place." said Scott.
we streaked through the night toward North America. It was beautiful. The moon was full, and the stars were bright. We were so close to the sky I felt like I could reach out and grab it. And that's I wanted to do. I just wanted to grab onto a star and hold on forever.
Though I never did because I couldn't. Instead we landed at a pizza parlor in California, and let Grarr loose on the city. He promised he would stay out of sight. Once we had ordered we started to talk. I don't even remember what we talked about, whatever it is normal people talk about. I do remember what it was like to eat human food again. Overall it was nice. A kid puked behind us, and half the salad had mold on it, but it was still nice. And dragons weren't mentioned once! For a small moment we got to feel like normal people on a normal date!
But then we had to snap back to reality. We payed with Scott's last fifty dollars, and then we left on Garr's back. Grarr took us back to our world. the real world. The one with dragons in it. Grarr us all the way back to my quarters and then he left. Probably to tell all his friends about the surface.
"Thank-You." I said.
"That's not all."
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, I set up a shooting range outback."
"Cool, 'cause I have no idea what I'm doing with these guns."
"That's the idea of a shooting range." We walked around to the back of the building where there were cans... sitting on a wall.
"So we shoot the cans?" I asked.
"Yeah, sorry it's all I had."
"It's fine." I told him.
"Let's start with the shotgun then." I picked it up and held it like you would hold a gun. By the handle. "So what you need to know is that this thing has a lot of knockback, so it could easily send you flying." he said. "That means you'll have to use this stock."
He leaned over my back and fitted the stock to my armpit. He was heavy but it was... nice. that's the word I'm going to use to describe this whole thing, nice.
"Fire when ready." he told me.
I closed my eyes and my finger hovered over the trigger. I'm not afraid to admit I was a little scared. But Scott leaning on me made me feel safer. So I was able to pull myself together and pull the trigger. BLOOM!!! At least three cans fell off the wall and thankfully I didn't end up on my back.
"Nice shot." said Scott.
"Thanks. Do you need any practice?" I asked.
"Nah, I'm fine. Will you be able to use your pistol?"
"I'll figure it out."
Then the conversation just stopped. it was quiet for a few moments. So quiet I could hear myself think.
Then I finally said, "This was... nice." Then I did something. Something that I don't regret. I turned around, leaned in, and kissed him. We didn't kiss for long, but he didn't seem mad.
When we separated he said, "Wow..." but he never finished because he was interrupted by a ROAR!!!
"What the hell?" I asked.
"There." he pointed. "All the dragons are landing in the town square."
"Then we'd best get over there." I said, and we ran off to see what was wrong.
"Wasn't it?" asked Scott.
I turned around to look at him and my hair flew into my face. All I did was brush it aside and said, "It was... wow. I have no words."
"Are we going back to Dragon city?" asked Grarr.
"No." I told him. "Mr. Terrace here owes me dinner."
"You're not worried that something will happen?" asked Scott.
"No. I want to spend as much up here as possible."
"I have no problems with that." said Grarr.
"All right, let's find a pizza place." said Scott.
we streaked through the night toward North America. It was beautiful. The moon was full, and the stars were bright. We were so close to the sky I felt like I could reach out and grab it. And that's I wanted to do. I just wanted to grab onto a star and hold on forever.
Though I never did because I couldn't. Instead we landed at a pizza parlor in California, and let Grarr loose on the city. He promised he would stay out of sight. Once we had ordered we started to talk. I don't even remember what we talked about, whatever it is normal people talk about. I do remember what it was like to eat human food again. Overall it was nice. A kid puked behind us, and half the salad had mold on it, but it was still nice. And dragons weren't mentioned once! For a small moment we got to feel like normal people on a normal date!
But then we had to snap back to reality. We payed with Scott's last fifty dollars, and then we left on Garr's back. Grarr took us back to our world. the real world. The one with dragons in it. Grarr us all the way back to my quarters and then he left. Probably to tell all his friends about the surface.
"Thank-You." I said.
"That's not all."
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, I set up a shooting range outback."
"Cool, 'cause I have no idea what I'm doing with these guns."
"That's the idea of a shooting range." We walked around to the back of the building where there were cans... sitting on a wall.
"So we shoot the cans?" I asked.
"Yeah, sorry it's all I had."
"It's fine." I told him.
"Let's start with the shotgun then." I picked it up and held it like you would hold a gun. By the handle. "So what you need to know is that this thing has a lot of knockback, so it could easily send you flying." he said. "That means you'll have to use this stock."
He leaned over my back and fitted the stock to my armpit. He was heavy but it was... nice. that's the word I'm going to use to describe this whole thing, nice.
"Fire when ready." he told me.
I closed my eyes and my finger hovered over the trigger. I'm not afraid to admit I was a little scared. But Scott leaning on me made me feel safer. So I was able to pull myself together and pull the trigger. BLOOM!!! At least three cans fell off the wall and thankfully I didn't end up on my back.
"Nice shot." said Scott.
"Thanks. Do you need any practice?" I asked.
"Nah, I'm fine. Will you be able to use your pistol?"
"I'll figure it out."
Then the conversation just stopped. it was quiet for a few moments. So quiet I could hear myself think.
Then I finally said, "This was... nice." Then I did something. Something that I don't regret. I turned around, leaned in, and kissed him. We didn't kiss for long, but he didn't seem mad.
When we separated he said, "Wow..." but he never finished because he was interrupted by a ROAR!!!
"What the hell?" I asked.
"There." he pointed. "All the dragons are landing in the town square."
"Then we'd best get over there." I said, and we ran off to see what was wrong.
Happy New Years 2015!
Hey readers! We did a new years post last year, and you guys seemed to like it, so for more pageviews we're doing it again! So here they are! The information about new stories.
This year will be awesome with the epic conclusion to "War of Dragons, aaaaaaaand!
We have Earthfall, Thief's Guild, Sheath: Honorless, and Shade! I also have plans for Gallatian, Agon, and Sara Raft stories, but those plans are underdeveloped because of one of my other projects.
What? you want to know that project is? I couldn't tell you, I just couldn't! Okay so I could. I'm working on a novel titled: "The Last Frontier". I'm also going to try to publish it, so it should be sometime this year or next year!
That's all for now! See you in the funny pages!
