The war chief

Before we got into action, we must have a war chief for all the clans and of course, the only one who didn't got one, it's mine, normally, I must have Sanira but she had the right to refuse to keep this place and you guessed it...she did, that's mean I'm in a huge plie of shit since she gave an order to the few Bloo Klaws warriors in sight not to follow me, Laryka and few of her warriors were here for security measure and the last potential candidate, a cveteran who did all the wars, just spat on the floor and was ready to leave but was stopped by Laryka's scream

"STOP ! you filthy pile of used smelly scales !"

"you dare insult me !"

"you do know where we go if my brother don't have a war chief !"

"he's kicked out, that's what you're looking for ?"

the two of them continued to send them vocal turds for hours until Laryka finished to joined him and pinned him against the table, holding him tight

"stay calm and your old bones will be still intact, we're here to defend Dralya, if you wanna follow Sanira very well, but it's not her mind who get us where we are now, it's from my bro and the other leaders...and frm what I know, all clan's warriors can offering to be war chief right ?"

"yes...but you'll not accept either, you hate him more than us !"

"as opposite to all of you, I think, I've seen him in actio and he killed more ennemies in one week than You on all the wars, now get the fuck out you crumbling old piece of shit !"

She send a guy who survive the exode war off and took his place, her stature noble and head as high as possible, all opposite of me, laying on the table,with a sad look

"you must be overjoyed ?"

"what you want Laryka ? asked Krya."

"I whished to be the war chief of my clan !"

I was so surprised by her word that I felt from my own throne, I raised my head, confused and looked at Laryka, still serious

"I...I'm dreaming ? you despise me ?"

"forgive me...I was so mad to lost mama...I needed something to get my mind at peace, I should have support you instead of putting you down more."

what the fuck that's it, I'm on a nightmare or maybe better dead...my sister want to help me ? it could be one of the best, I was sitting back on my thone and looked at her, astonished and speechless

"are you ok Tolryk ? asked Zilla"

"huh...I...I don't know !"

Krya offered to let us alone for a moment, my sister and I

"so...we're head to head ?"

"shit...I'm already embarrassed enought right now..."

"why ?"

I looked at Laryka and did a short story about my life with her, where she was a true nightmare for me each seconds of each days, how can I trust in her now

"what can make me think you had change...so fast even more."

"my team and I, I thought of what I did to you and what should have do instead, you'rea soon to be hero..and...and I admire you."

it's now confirmed, I'm dead, she admire me now ? it's not possible, where is the l'humiliation ? I looked around me Laryka cut me

"I'm telling the truth bro...I blamed me for this and will do evrything to made ammend with you !"

"did you put some drugs in my drinking horn ?"

"no...stop with jokes or looking for others there is none !"

I froze myself and looked at her affraid, fearing the worst, but she took a deep breath, walked close to me to hug me tenderly, now, I didn't know what to do

"I'll tell you that the old Laryka you knew will never disturb you know, I'm the new one, I'm gonna help you the best I can !"

In there, I'm going into a all new world, Laryka, my sister, tender toward me ? that's not possible, I must be hallucinating, I can't believe it

"I'll obeyed to all your orders...chief !"

"I'm sick and I'll die right ?"

"no ! stop with that !"

she lightly growl at me and looked furiously against me, I put my head down and was not feeling great

"I'm not gonna hurt you, I'm not the same that before time !"

"I'm not used to this kind of Laryka...I don't know what to do!"

She smile at me and told me things will go better with time, I stood up a bit and accepted to have her as my war chief, she left me and wetn to warned her unit, I stayed a moment on my throne, lost in my thoughts, it's not possible, I'm not in the real world. After a while, I found Krya back and she looked at me worried

"why the long face, Laryka supports you, that's what you wanted."

"yes...but it seems weird...all of a sudden...it's not normal."

"her mind grew up, you even show her what you trully can do in battle !"

I didn't know what to think of this, I'm too much surprised by what Laryka did, it's too weird, Krya nuzzled me

"let her a chance !"

"she's my war chief, I said to her, in the second chance kinda thing, I could not do better."

"why that sad look ?"

"Krya, I lived since I was a baby a life of misery, my sister made my life a living hell since I was born, just this fact can't do fixing everything !"

"Tolryk, calm down, everything will be alright, you'll see !"

I was still dreamy but the occasion of taking back the first island was so close, we can't let it pass like that, we need to kick those nast invader's butts put once and for all, Krya smiled and me and kissed my lips, this gesture awlays seems to please me and bring myself to normal, it worked without any issues. A bit later, I looked closer to the map, updated since the last offensive we did, with free resistance dragon, shipwrecked's survivors and our actions, we were taking Bloodground's control, just two big outpost were still there, the one for food and gold from their lands and the « stronghold »

"I'm just back from spying the outpost, said Korak to me."

"so what ?"

"they have built fortification walls, we can't do shit."

I already knew what to do, I took out the small item araks gave me and looked at

"wood or stone walls ?"

"stone ones...why ?"

"follow me !"

I took Korak to the creek and he jumped by surprise when he saw the Araks training there

"they...they're not..."

"calm down, I got the way to control them, I knew the two leg will defend their base with their walls, our flames will be useless."

"and how the Araks could help us with that ?"

"you know the spitters ?"

"oh yes, lots of my warriors got scars for life, thanks to Yrana, normally, they should lost their hit members...why ?"

"well...the spitter's poison, with already the capacity to melt living tissues, including in the vegetals, it's also really dangerous for non living materials, it can rust any metals, melted any rocks..."

"really ?"

A young spitter, a bit playful, came to see me, I pointed a rock not far and clicked on the item, a false scale that I can hid on myself, I just need to press on it, it gave a sound only araks could hear, the giant tarentula spat a greeny poison ball on the rock, Korak saw it melt on it's spot immediately

"waow...chow can you know that ?"

"well Korak, when I understood I got no place in my own family, you're going exploring places around, I observed and studied araks, I know everything about them !"

"why they accepted to help us, usually we're all food for them ?"

"if we attack them, they're just protecting their lands, she despised the two legs far more than all of us !"

The leader came to see us and I talked to her about the fortified stronghold, she voluntary accepted to destroy those walls, if they also could feed on some humans since they were there, we accepted the offer and and I thanked her in advance. We went back towards the volcano when I saw the rest of the gang with the war chiefs of each clans

"where were you ? asked Tyrok, we were looking you both everywhere."

"we were negocitaion an other help,answered Korak."

"for the food supply ? asked Marifala, why ?"

"fortification walls ! I said, if one of you can explode those walls in second, let me knowr !

"so, cut Laryka, I was talking with the others war chiefs, if they have fortified walls, they must be down to launch the assault."

"I've seen it with my own eyes, they have built a wall all around !"

"and I got the troop to tear it down ! I said, let's go !"

"let me guess, said Krya, araks !"

"yes, answered Korak, and believe me, we couldn't find more efficient !"

But the spitter's unit joined us, the dragons were stuck between fear and lust for turning them to dust, for sure, working with giant tarentulas is not quit reassuring but they seems quite uselfull, of course the gang was not quite enthusiatic but it makes me kinda laught to have them with us, the spitters are the smallest one from the araks, between five and eights meters legs spread down, some good warriors

"where is their leader ?"

"huh..."

that's the boomer, I only saw the spitters looks at and only me at this moment

"oh oh..."

"what's wrong ? asked Trogan."

"they will followed my orders !"

"you...you"

I know, it's quite surprising, but made spitters obey orders is quite simple, you clicked on the item and pointed the target, they'll do the rest, Laryka was eager to see this, all like the others clan's chief, Korak excluded, but not the rest of the war chiefs

"they'll turned against us more ?"

I couldn't stop smilling, how dumb and stupid they can be, they'll see, I walked on the lead of the small spitters unit towards the outpost, a fortified wall close to 10 meters hight were protecting their gold and foods, I took out the item from its hidding place and reunite the araks, I clicked on it and pointed the outpost, the unit ran towards the fort and began their work aiming at mans and walls, the war chiefs were speechless, the all wall collapses and Laryka launched the assault, we charged the outpost from all sides and made the few survivors flee,our roars of victory made the rest of the walls going down and their fleeing, we took their golld and food supplies, only letting them a small one on their stronghold, meant to be « siege control »...you're kidding right, we're dominating now boys ! Laryka joined me with a huge smile, the araks were then again going to their military camp after the battle down

"an other victory ! yelled the others clan's chief all together."

"it seems too easy for me, stays all on defense !"

"calm down, worried chief, said Laryka to me, we're taking them by surprise, they don't even know what to do !"

"they're still got some..."

Some dying growls froze my blood entirely, I ran to the origin of that sound and an anti dragon arrow missed closely my left shoulder, I rolled on the side, hidden behind a rock, not foar form theoutpost, there is a small forest, a strong smell of fresh bloodwas still inside and only elves could dare attacked from the trees, there are also the only one who can made these arrows. I hate those ones and this time, no black rage, I shot at the tree from where the arrow came, I even succeed on making an elf swear, Laryka and her troop surrounded the forest and shot blindly, just to try to find these plants eating bastards, those idiots were getting shot from all sides, their only way out was my position and the other dragons ones, they all ended into fleshy pieces, when the calm was back, I walked alone inside this half consumed forest and followed the smell of blood who obsessed my mind, finished in front of a cove where the view horrified me, a group of young dragon, some years younger than me and the others chiefs, thrying to flee the camp we just destroyed, got bloody and coldly murdreded by those fucking alves and their fucking arrows, the blood almost reocvered entirely the ground, the wounds were deep and the view...unbearable, those poor youngs were just trying to get their freedom back, they can't even defend themselvesand for them we're the monsters. I was just more than enraged in front of this slaughter then the rest of the team joined me with grieving look

"what's that slaughter ? said Krya."

"the elves waited them here !"

"huh...from good memories, said Laryka, there's no cove here !"

Getting curious, I walked closely to the rocky wall and he was way to regular to be natural

"my sister's right, they made this cove as a trap, they meant to executed all escapists !"

Laryka examinated the places while I sent the others took all ennemies intel they can get, maybe Heather could help us with these, I was pissed off by that and Laryka turned towards me

"should I gave my point of view on this ?"

"if ya want !"

"they all feld during our attack, only panic leading them, they were running throught this forest and sadly felt in that cove, from arrow's trajectories from those still stuck in bodies or ground, the elves were surrounded them, with none fight experiences,they must thought it was only classic arrows, some took them out, making those deep wounds and the main blood loss who finally recover the ground...for me, they did much more trap like that all around the archipelago."

I was still in shock, the first time, they had assassinated and mutilated babies they kidnapped and now this, less than a dozen yound dragons getting viciously killed for not choosing the good exit, I was about to crack, edgy, then Laryka ssat beside me, I felt her wing against my back and offered me to go elsewhere, when we were far from this abominaton, Laryka sent Lux bring Yrana to let her take the bodies away and said

"you can cry if you want !"

"and be call weepy by everyone, no thanks."

No chiefs ever crack or so no one speak about that in public

"Tolryk...it's normal to crack on those terms, no one will laughts at you !"

"no chiefs ever cried...even with those things !"

"yep...when our father found the mutilated babies, at the start his rage spoke for him but when he was back to the familiy lair, he warmly cried between mama's paws."

I ended crying too, why so much hate, we lost everything, we just wanted to live peacefully on Dralya, but no, they need to start the hunt again...it's unfair, after a long time, Laryka rubbed my face and I saw finally her first tender looktowards me for the first time, I didn't know what to say to her now, she got the same look as mama when I was a baby, that she didn't know thought it's will not fix anything at all...all the contrary started, I burst out in tears and Laryka didn't know what to do

"Tolryk ?"

After the double of time than the first one, well one hour...one hour and a half aftre the crisis,I rubbed my eyes and saw a Laryka, worried sick

"did I...did I do something wrong ?"

"I miss mama...you...you got her eyes...I got nothing !"

"don't say that !"

Laryka ? did you looked at me ? you look just like dad, a natural born warrior and of course without mercy with mother's tenderness and what did I got...nothin', I'm not a merciless or a tender soul, just a brain who got nothing from his both parents

"you're like them on an other way."

"no Laryka, I..."

"TOLRYK ! screamed Korak, we need you and quick !"

I slapped myself to get my brain back to normal and I joined Korak, followed by Laryka, I found hi at the entrance of the oupost and he showed me a carving, lightly covered with ashes

"huh...I need to cum for this ?"

he rubbed the rock clean, taking the ash away and I saw a note

"it's two legs writting...I can't read that !"

"it's Sulfuris who put a bounty on your head, cut Heather, that's what he carved here, if you're captured, they'lltake you to him !"

"they will regret this !"

I was ready to do anything to avenged my mom's death, including dying if it must be

"I'll stay a bit to examinate this, go on I'll be back !"

"are you sure, we can need your help for the final battleand Bloodground's freedom ?"

"yes Trogan, it will not be long."

Laryka and all the band left, revolts started all over Dralya,we cen hear all over this land, I looked at that rock and examinated the carving, the flames work just perfectly fragilized the rock, making carving easier, the note seems weird, why Sulfuris wanted me alive ? maybe to end his contract...maybe worst, but when I got close to those carving to see other clues, my paw, normally put on a rock, made me feel something moving under it and, warm, I just got the time to took it off to see an adult dragon, laying on that rock, anyone could say now « nothing to worry, you're in an island full with dragon, one more it's no surprising ! » except when this one is part of the worst nightmare of my life, I was ready to call for head but he pinned me down, closing my maw with his paw, I will not be finishing like that ? Huh ? we're agree, in the kind shitty epic fail, but while Sulfuris gotthe occasion to kil me, I heard

"I just wanna talk, I'm not here to hurt ya !"

Slowly, he fred my maw and let me stand up, off course, he got a pretty nice headbutt for all of this

"that's, it for my mom !"

I was ready to destroy his crotch for everything else but he yelled

"WAIT ! I'm not the responsible for all of this...I can prove it to you !'

I stopped my move and stay still for a moment, Sulfuris, from my memories, was a monster no one matching his horrors, with the sunset lights...even more the fact that I grew up since that day too, I saw lots of things we both got alike

"now that you're calm, he rubbed his bloody muzzle, I deeply love Amaelys, I was her first mate, until my stupid sister used her for her devilish plan, just like me, she asked me to kill her but I couldn't do it, she did it using a spell to have my appearance, she stole from me my love...and my son !"

now, I quickly jumped, what is he trying to tell me now ? he pursued his tale when before she became Arkorn's mate, he could be with her one last time and she got pregnant, Yrana told him that...that I was his son...this time,I was done.
