Chapter Six

The battle had been raging for days. The bodies of the dead littered the ground, the grass tinted red from all the blood. Somehow, more soldiers continued to come. Samantha had seen them more clearly as she clung to the back of her mount. There were humans, big beastly men with long beards and raging eyes. Some of them were human women, but their long legs and fierce cries denoted them as being something more, like Amazons. Then there were the beasts with long fangs and pointed, furry ears, not quite wolf or humanoid. These were only half as frightening as the elven people, who screamed their hatred in a high-pitched tone that threatened to shatter Samantha’s bones.

She didn’t want to be back there, listening to the clash of weapons and the death howls of those around her. Nobody was winning, and she wasn’t sure what any of them were fighting for in the first place. Samantha looked around desperately for an escape route, but the army crushed around her. Only the solid horse underneath her kept her from being trampled, but it wasn’t much of a respite. The beast lurched and surged underneath her, its eyes rolling in fear as sweat gathered around the bridle.

The shadowed figure was behind her this time, its spindly hands gripping at her shirt to keep her in place. Samantha tried to pull away, not caring about modesty. If ripped clothing was what it took to get out of there, then she would run naked through the field if need be. But the fabric of her dress refused to cooperate, keeping her in place as the figure hissed in her ear.

“You have to fight!” it growled, the sound sending shivers down her spine and causing her stomach to lurch up toward her throat. “You must fight for me!”

“I don’t want to fight!” Samantha sobbed. “I don’t even know what we’re fighting for!”

“Inside! You are the warrior! You fight! Fight for me!” Its nails dug into the skin of her back, searing her flesh with pain.

“No! I’m not fighting for you!” She tried to pull away from him once again.

As she did so, a massive creature swooped down from the sky. A ripple of awe and perhaps fear cascaded through the violent crowd, pausing their swords in the air and causing their grips on their shields to slacken ever so slightly.

Samantha’s legs tightened on her horse as she crouched down in fear, causing the creature to hop nervously beneath her as the beast in the sky tipped its wings back and paused right above her. Samantha’s heart squeezed so hard, it hurt as she slowly looked up.

While there was nothing about this battle that seemed familiar to Samantha, she recognized what she was looking at. This was a dragon, a brilliant crimson one, and she’d seen it previously in another vision. It had only swooped by before, but this time, it remained in the air directly above her head, its wings sending great rushes of hot air over the army.
