Chapter nine- tyrant
Ruua paused his story in remembrance before continuing with it. “ From that incident forward I became more diligent about those who come into my lands. And those that leave them with those that I let stay on them. Never once after that have I had the slay my talking partner after that. But that was far from the last time I have had trouble on my lands.”
Ruua looked in the distance to see his sister coming. Sense he was hunting for food he continued with that while going toward her and saw she was bloody from a fight. After the two ate his catch she bowed to him. “ Brother, trouble.”
Ruua looked at her annoyed. “ You know I do not like leaving my lands.”
She sighed. “ I will stay in your stead.
” He looked at her not to sure of that. “ Go to the village. They will have more meat for you.”
She bows to him lower a moment before leaving. After that Ruua took to the opposite direction to the hive she been watching over and arrived to find more of her children lined up. Each with one of the predators on their back. His coming was not a surprise as he found the bright colored queen and moved to her. As with other queens he has met this one too had a feel of control over the lesser predators. “ One who I share meat with. Where the ones who wish to take my meat and leave me none?”
Both the lesser dragons and the smaller predators became surprised as the queen only pointed. “ We shall talk later.”
She only nods as he took off. It did not take him long to find the area where his sister fought. All around he could see the bodies of the dead of the lesser predators and lesser dragons. So much meat not being eaten. It a waste. His presence did not go unnoticed the attackers became ready with three large dragons and several smaller ones. None of which came to his size. His instincts told him this was trouble. “ One chance leave my meat alone.”
The three larger dragons became surprised in hearing him and backed away a step. One of the small predators see the three retreat in fear and looked at Ruua again. “ So this is the fabled Tyrant of the north. He certainly lives up to his reputation to put three of my greater dragons in such a state.”
Ruua had a memory come back to him of his first day alive. Of three hiding in a crevasse. “ Brothers are you in trouble? Do you need my help?”
The three look at one another and bow to him. “ Great brother, we are held against our will. We can not resist.”
Ruua looked sorry at them a moment. “ I understand little brothers. I have plenty of meat so I do not mind to share but to those that will take my meat all they shall get is my fang.”
And then the fighting began and it was over in an instant.
Chapter ten- rewards
“ I returned to the castle after that with my three brothers. Neither I nor them were unhurt from the fight. However I was relatively unharmed. When we got back to the hive I landed first as my brothers landed after and bowed low. The lesser dragons and predators made a path for me as I went to the queen.”
“ These are my brothers. I shall be leaving one in the direction of the brightest fixed star of the night, the direction of the rising sun and the direction of the falling sun. Just as you do for my sister others will do for these three.”
Ruua moved away a little as he sees a new person among those of the lesser dragons and predators. “ Ruua, there you are. You look all beat to hell.”
Ruua moved to him amused. “ You were worried? If these small things trouble you then remove them. I do not mind the scratches.”
Ruua listened to the others as the man starts to remove the arrows in his side. In truth they hurt and he was weak from all the poison in him. The man was the grandson of the child of his friend he rescued. All three of them upon coming to an age of ten took what is known as the tyrants climb to earn one of his scales. So he is one of the few he trusts to come near him. When another approached him he glared at them as a warning and the others around backed up. As the man continued Ruua kept watch. “ Little one, how is my little sister?”
The man smiled lightly as he pulled out another arrow. “ She is well. A bit tired from all the blood loss and poison.”
Ruua spoke softly so only he could hear him and the man paused before pulling out another arrow.
