In
Medias Res.
   
Hindsight
rolled over, and opened his eyes to stare at the three moons shining
brightly above him, in their full quintessent glow. Hindsight
coughed, and winced. His wings were torn asunder, as well as his
chest, and he could feel his long slower labored breaths. With a
large amount of effort he managed to lift his head and peek at his
own body. Several large spears jutted from him, along with a
multitude of frost burns and claw marks. He chuckled a bit at his own
downfall, and was interrupted by a rush of blood coming to his maw.
His head fell back to the ground, and he coughed a few times to expel
the liquid from his airways, and he opened his eyes once again to
stare at the shadow cloaked figure of a much larger being than he. He
closed his eyes when he heard the voice.
   
"Always
in the middle of things, Brother." Said the shadow. "You've
become something I don't understand anymore. I'd say I'm doing
us both a favor here." The creature lowered its head down, and its
eyes shined in the night like dim stars. The darkness clad figure
shifted into the light, and his dark purple scales glinted softly in
the moonlight. The creature was a dragon, one that was large enough
that it could have stood behind  a small mountain and still have
been spotted. Its purple eyes seemed to swivel about in his sockets
as if they were searching the entire world, and all over his scaled
body were innumerable scars, and burn marks.

"You've
become a monster, a bigger one than I could have ever dreamed of
becoming." The purple drake spoke with a proud hiss. He leaned
forward, and placed his left front leg on Hindsight's chest, and
pressed down, and only stopped applying force when there was a small
crack, and a cry of pain from the smaller black drake. 


"What
ever happened to every life having a purpose and value...? Did that
all go out to holiday along with your sanity?" The purple drake
yelled, suddenly. "You were supposed to be the good one...." He
said, his jaws clacking loudly as he snaps them shut forcefully
between each word as he roars at Hindsight, pinned beneath him.
Hindsight gurgled a response that was unintelligible. However the
black drake's eyes began to shimmer a bright white rather than
their yellow and red. 


The
purple dragon leaned in more, and hissed. "No! No more of this."
As a rumbling sound echoed from deep within his chest. Hindsight's
eyes snapped back to their original colors and he struggles to break
free. The purple dragon pushes against Hindsight's chest and
doesn't stop, even after the cracking of multiple ribs are heard,
and even through the screams. Hindsight pauses when he sees the
purple dragon stare him in the eyes. He saw pain, sorrow, remorse...
And as the purple drake opened it's mouth, he could see flames
rolling between its teeth.

"I'm
sorry...." The purple dragon said, as it used its free front leg to
wipe away at its eyes. Hindsight gave up fighting, laid his head
back, and blinked slowly. When he opened his eyes he saw the purple
dragon take a breath, then fire, then nothing.

They
say, right before you die, your life flashes before your eyes.....
