Katherine: Narrative 9

The dragon inside the cage collapses to the ground as the riders run to open their cages to harness their dragons.  I raise my hand out to blast an electric bolt to a nearby rider but I think I may have absorbed more energy than I can handle.  The air in here now has the feel of static charge throughout the room.  The dragon man moves to the next cage and puts down the dragon within it as Eva raises her hands and gives a tremendous clap that crushes two riders into the wall, they slide down leaving blood smears against the wall.  As the third dragon gets put down, Thalia shoots a blue shimmering light and the third rider is left a burning corpse on the floor. 

The final dragon gets taken out and we make our way back in to the elevator.  Thalia pushes the button in the elevator which begins to take us downward another floor.  In this floor there are more dragons being held like our dragon companion had been.  We all turn our heads and look to Eva at the same time.

“Well, I guess that is my cue,” Eva says with a sigh.

Eva crosses the room to the contained dragons while rubbing her hands together.  She takes in a deep breath and thrusts her hands against the barrier causing this one to shatter and release the dragons.  They all nod to the dragon man that is with us and leave us all behind to help the dragon man to clear out the rest of the building.  Moving back in to the elevator, Thalia presses the button and we slowly move downward once more.   It seems this will be our last floor and then we can leave this building behind us.

As the door opens, we’re faced with a whole room full of eggs the size of watermelons.  The eggs are brownish with an odd black glaze over them.  Our dragon companion seems to flare up in anger and begins to morph back into his dragon form.  He breaths a fierce fire over the eggs and incinerates all of the eggs within the room.  As he finishes that, he morphs back into the humanoid form wearing the tunic and walks back into the elevator with a heavy look on his face.

“They were tainted,” he murmurs to himself.
