EXCERPT
The dragon was huge! It stood ten feet
tall at the shoulder, and its mouth was large enough to fit a full-sized man.
His scales were black as obsidian, and a boned frill protected the back of his
head. A beautiful specimen. It was such a shame that they were going to have to
kill him.
“You’re going to take on that with a few swords and shields?”
Kathryn sassed.
Patrick had to hand it to her. Even
knowing she was going to die if he failed, she still had spunk. “Of course not,
my fair maiden.” He smiled at her. “I’m going to use words.”
The look she shot him clearly said he
was insane.
He patted her hand reassuringly as they
waited for the dragon to approach. They stood at the center of a wall of men
ready to defend the town.
The dragon stopped and considered them
for a moment. His eyes fell on Kathryn before looking at the rest of the men.
Giving her one more reassuring pat,
Patrick released her. Turning to where he had dropped his shield while the men
formed ranks, he stomped on the edge of the disk again. The hard metal popped
up, and he caught it with the same flare as before. “Wait here while I reason
with him.” He turned his attention to Daniel. “Keep her safe.”
Daniel took up a protective position
next to her.
“Good morrow!” Patrick called out as he
walked into the field with the dragon.
The dragon cocked his head curiously.
“I am Patrick Mylan of Eternity. By
order of the king, I demand that you end your harassment of this village. If
you surrender now and come along peacefully, your trial will be just and your
sentence lenient. If you refuse, you will force us to take swift action to
defend these people.”
The dragon blinked a few times as he
drew in a deep breath.
Seeing the attack coming, Patrick dropped
down and raised his shield. A great blast of fire washed over the hardened
steel, heating the metal. Grabbing the pouch at his side, he tucked it up so
the flames licking around the edges of his shield wouldn't set it alight. As
soon as the onslaught stopped, Patrick rose to face his attacker.
The dragon looked at him. The cock of
its great head showed its confusion.
Steam rose from the man’s soaked
leathers, but Patrick was mostly unharmed. “It would do you good to use your
nose before you attacked,” he taunted. “I know a thing or two about dragons.”
