Chapter 11

The queen’s nest was to the west of the camp, and the smoke hadn’t reached her. That was alright with him. He didn’t need to put a spell on her, because she would be dead before she even knew that he was there. Besides, he didn’t want to cheat with her. He wanted to bring her down by his skill and training, not magic and luck. He tipped toed over and drew out his emerald sword. He stood for a moment admiring the legendary beast.

“My day has come. The greatest dragon slayer in the world is going to take out the queen and the rest of the dragons, and I’m going to do it alone!”

Thelton stood right next to the queen while he raised his sword high into the air. Every nerve in his body rang out in excitement. All his energy transposed to his arm and he began to swiftly bring it down. As he did, the queen continued to sleep; unaware of the danger she was in. The sword came down closer and closer to the beast.

“You are going to die. I am going to seal my legend in your blood.” Excitement flowed through him.

Just as his moment of victory almost unfolded, something from behind slammed into Thelton’s back. The sword flew out of his hand. He had been just centimeters away from the queen’s throat. The attack was so unexpected. Thelton was knocked to the ground. The queen’s eyes opened.

Indy was on Thelton. She punched him in the side while tearing at his skin. Her claws instantly drew blood. Thelton was so taken back by the startling attack. He fought hard and furious with his unknown assailant. The two of them rolled around on the ground hitting, biting, and punching. His enemy was strong and gave him a good fight, almost matching strength for strength. Amidst the scuffle, Thelton reached down to his leg to pull out the dagger. It was gone. At some point, it must have fallen out. He fought hard without it, but soon his attacker over came him. He was pinned to the ground while thick sharp nails held down his throat.

Through the dark, Thelton looked up into the eyes of a human; a woman. How could there be a human amongst the dragons? It was dark, and he didn’t have a very clear view of his attacker. He couldn’t figure out how he got bested by a woman. Furious, he began thrashing about, but he couldn’t break through Indy’s grip. She growled at him. Her hands tightened on his throat, and he could feel her claws pierce his skin.

The queen came over to Indy’s side. Indy stepped back as the massive dragon picked Thelton up in her claws. She brought him to her nose and smelled him. Thelton was sure he was about to be eaten. She kept sniffing at him for awhile. Thelton wiggled and fought to break her grip, but he struggled in vain. Her claws pierced his skin while huge drops of blood rolled out.
