Roars

"Roarrr…." A bone-chilling screeching echoed in the air followed by the thunderous voice of cheerful and excited shouts from below.

Two fully grown-up dragons fly high in the sky and stilled on the sky in front of each other.

One of them has slightly darker skin while the other has bigger Horne and brownish scales making them recognizing apart.

Their reptile eyes looked at each other and soon they flew towards each other.

With an earth-shattering roar, two gigantic beasts clashed and the fight began.

They flew past each other. Dragon with big horns and brownish scales took a sharp turn and attacked the other, his sharp Clowes scratched the tale of a black dragon and the audience cheered loudly.

"Argas…..Argas…" His was Argas, the legend, and ruler of the land.

Argas Regalhelm.

On the other hand, his opponent was Drayce Grego.

Lord of the neighboring land and blood brothers of Argas.

This type of friendly match was a common occurrence between the two kings who were even closer than brothers.

But today's match was going to be little more than a regular sparring fight between these two legends.

Grego was hurt by just the first attack from Argas. His nose flared as he flapped his wings high in the sky and his nostrils flared.

On the other hand, a small smile widened Argas's jaw.

Grago flew high in the sky and then shot towards Argas. Argas also sprinted towards him.

Argas was flying up from the bottom and when they clashed Argas pushed him upward. With force, Grago was thrown far away out of the ground.

"Thudd…" A huge body crashed on the ground.

All the people down started to cheer even more loudly.

"Looks like lord Argas is going to win this time too." Came slow murmured from the audience as they praise Argas.

Argas landed on the ground and opened his wings while roaring victoriously.

Gargo on the other hand stood up from the ground with a swift motion and thumped his leg on the ground sending vibration all over the place.

"Woahhh…." Some people from the audience also cheered for him.

He spread his wings and flew high in the sky landing straight in the arena in front of Argas roaring loudly. Saying that the game wasn't over yet.

Both of them rose again high in the sky. Flying in circles while keeping eyes on each other.

A scenery that could frighten and shake the soul was witnessed by many people who were watching from far afar.

"This time I will be the one winning," Grago said.

"Best of luck with that." Argas said with a smile.

Grago narrowed his eyes and in the next second opened his mouth. A fire that can melt anything. Argas used his wings to shield himself from the fire and then flying in another direction. The fire didn't harm them since he was a dragon and fire was their second nature but it did distract him.

But Grago was just behind his tail. He flew above him and straight Landed on argas body crushing him down on the ground. Then throwing him away from the arena similarly to how he was thrown.

Argas was thrown to the ground and plowed his way toward a large boulder, shaking the area- This was a true battle between beasts.

Argas was shocked at first but then he smiled seeing that finally, Grego was serious about this fight.

His enthusiasm and josh increased. And the actual fight began. Both of them were flying, slashing, and biting each other.

It was hard to tell who would win. Sometimes it was Argas who pushed Grago down and calmed his dominance. Sometimes Gargo gave him a hard stab and got his footings back in the fight.

He clawed at Argas's throat with his hind legs. Argas used his wings to shush him off of his body.

Roar…..

They roared angrily at each other. They collide with each other with huge force, sending tremors through the whole arena.

They were kings best of the best and the power they held was no joke. With every scuffle between them, the atmosphere became tense as the tension increased.

As the fight came to its peak, Argas finally realized that something was off about Grago.

His pale yellow eyes were shining meticulously as he tore Argas's wings from the side. Argas lost balance and fell to the ground.

But there was no way he was backing away before this fight ended.

He's one of the wings being injured he could fly properly in the sky but before he could gather himself Grago also landed on the ground and ran towards him with his claws and wings. And the fight continues on the ground.

Gargo clutched his claws on his opponent's skin and left him smeared in blood.

"Ahh….." a painful roars left his mouth. But he was not that easy to defeat. He spat the fire right at Grago's face, blinding him momentarily, and attacked him with injuring one of his legs.

Gargo was furious looking at his bloody foot as the pain shot from the wound. He came at Argas more angrily. But Suddenly Argas, who was ready to fight, found himself stuck in position.

His whole body started to lose its power slowly and he couldn't move at all. People looking from afar were shocked looking at him who was not moving.

With shock and horror in his eyes, Argas looked at Grago who was running towards him with all force.

"Ahrrr….." An agonizing cry filled the arena. Grago has his clawy legs thrust in the body of Argas. The ground started to smear with the dark red blood of a mythical beast.

"This is a birthday gift I want from you today, your kingdom." Grago muttered softly in his human voice only for Argas to hear.

"Ahhh…" With force, he retrieved his legs and Argas fell on the ground.

His eyes were wide open and shock all over his face. He couldn't understand what was going on.

That was when he saw Grago preparing for another attack. With reflex, Argas dodged it and attacked from behind.

Now the only way to save himself was to attack seriously. This was not a normal match anymore but a fight of life and death.

He pushed Grago with all his might on his back.

Argas gathered himself and rose in the sky for the last attack. And then aiming straight at the heart of the beast with his claws…

"Princess….. Princess ....come out in a hurry…." An urgent voice rang from outside of the small cabinet and Silja jerked her head upward from the book.

Mira was standing near the door calling her with urgency in her voice.

Silja looked at the book again with a sigh and stood up to see what was going on outside while closing the book, Wings and Fire….
