THE FACE OF THE ENEMY

Rex and the others raced back to town as fast as their legs could run and flames could push them, across the rocky expanse, over the mountain pass and to the eastern cliff face overlooking KaNar, where they beheld a horrific sight.

Rex gasped as he felt a rise of panic stab through the pit of his gut. Below, the whole of KaNar was under attack from above by creatures like the one they had just witnessed, only made of flesh and blood, which unleashed torrents of green, gold, lavender, and blue fire. He could not believe what he was seeing—something that came as a surprise even to him, given all the wonders he had witnessed since he arrived in EeNara. These were beings not of some bygone era but those out of the pages of legend. “DraGons,” he spoke aloud.

They watched as the people below fought fiercely against the aerial assailants who seemed to be reveling in the destruction and mayhem. The DraGons seemed to be of seven species, which while varying in size and appearance all seemed to have the classic look of those of Earth’s Western mythology: large yet lightly built quadruped forms with two sets of enormous wings growing out of their backs. All of which carried long and deadly looking lances and were clad in elaborate suits of armor that were unique in design to each.

“Oh, no,” DiNiya gasped in horror.

“What’s happening down there?” asked EeNox. “What are those things?”

Rex knew the answer but could not remember why. The image of two large lavender eyes burned in his mind, spurring on a terrible pain. The difference, though, was rather than burrowing deep in the back of his skull, it spread across his entire head. He squeezed his eyes shut and tilted his head up, baring his teeth as the pain felt as if it was literally spilling into his veins and coursing through his entire body. Hearing cries of anguish above, he opened his eyes and saw six CyTorians attacking the DraGons in the air, one of which drove his entire beak through the neck of a grey DraGon that had been spewing blue fire down on the populace below, while another did so to the back of another’s head, who was preparing to drop down on a small girl.

Recognizing the first as KySer, a young, brash CyTorian, BaRone called to him. KySer banked over in their direction and landed on the ledge with them. “KySer, what’s happening?”

“There was an attack,” the CyTorian replied in an exasperated voice. “Just beyond the gates in the fields. Sentinel clones, dozens of them! Most of the people went out to face them head on!”

“What about KyVina?” VayRonx asked with obvious anxiety in his voice. “Where is she now?”

“She was the one leading the charge! She ordered the gates to be sealed behind them until she gave the all clear, but…” He was momentarily distracted by a huge fireball that cast a bright glow on them.

“KySer,” VayRonx called to him to regain his attention.
