Vaan looked happy to Nightmare, slobber dripped over his teeth and over Lanzia. Vaan giggled as Lanzia tried to clean her face. Eric was luckely no longer purple and breathed normally.Vaan bent and patted nightmare'shead and whispered to him: 'Well done'.
Eric, who had heard Vaan wispering to Nightmare said: "Vaan, you'd better be careful with what you say, or you end up dead anyway.'Eric looked without interest away from Vaan.There was a sad look in his eyes.
Vaan stood up and asked worried to Eric: "Is there something wrong, Eric....you look so sad?"Without averting his gaze Eric said: "No. ...... there is nothing '

The gloomy tower was too far to see,No one would ever find him here.His crystal ball blinked on his wooden table.The setting sun was visible through the dirty window full of spider webs."Look at those stupid fools ...... They'll never find me and Eric will remain heartless forever'A smile crept over his , which was red by the setting sun. His joy was interrupted by an opening door.  A little man stept cautiously into the dark room.' M-master......How's your plan doing?' The wizard clapped his hands and the candles went on.'Oh .... well, those fools will never find ... bwhahahahaha'
'happily "said the little man at once timid and frightened.
She had looked at Vaan who was laughing at him, at least she wasn't angry, which was strange to her. What was bothering her right now was that nightmare was beginning to search through her bag. "There is no way in this world I'd let you do that, get out of there!" She had two bags she packed with her, personal items were stored in a small pouch she always carried with her. The one nightmare was in had food, water, and weapons. "C'mon now, you don't go in other people's bags. Hey don't!" Nightmare had pulled out a letter, a very important one at that. The envelope was red and had the same colored seal. Even the letters writing was wroten in red ink. This was a very important message. She tried her best to keep it hidden from Eric, but now she watched in terror as Fronder picked it up. She held her ax tight, in case a battle may come up.
Fronder had begun reading the letter out of curiosity, he read it aloud in case it was important for the rest of the group to hear. This is what the letter had said:
To Lanzia.
From Dragon Ruler of the East.
I am going to burn down your village, unless you kill someone for me. I need this boy killed so I can become the tyrant of this continent. The boys name is Eric. To save your village you must kill him, and anyone who dare help him. If you do not do this within five days, we will burn down your village and kill any survivors. Bring back the boy dead, and we will spare your village and it's people. Remember, you only have five days.
Fronder backed off a bit from Lanzia, he hoped the rest of the group had heard him well. What wondered him is if she was going to fallow the word of the letter. "E-Eric? What are we going to do with her?"
What the entire group was unaware of was that this same dragon had been fallowing Lanzia, making sure that if she didn't accomplish her assignment, he could finish the group himself. Lanzia wasn't intending to kill them, but do something even more clever, but now it would be impossible for her to ask them for help. They had found out the real reason she was here. "I'm sorry Eric, the dragon is forcing me, I didn't know where else to go. My folks would kill me if they found the note. When I found you and this group I was hoping you guys could help me kill him. I've tried alone before, I was almost killed. Instead of finishing me off he gave me this stupid note. I bet you that he's been fallowing me too. At least you guys know why I hate dragons. That won't matter now though will it. Please forgive me Eric, for troubling you. I'm guessing this is the part where you guys kill me, ban me, or put me in jail now. I'm sorry." Lanzia seemed very upset with herself by now. It took all her strength just to keep her tears back. Looking at the sky she noticed a dragon. She knew which one this was. She knew he had heard everything that the group had said. What's worse to her is tomorrow is the last day she'll be able to save her village. And that if she wasn't dead by that time and had failed, she would be killed along with her village. For a fact, her village was closer than any other village right now. In fact it was even in sight. So was the dragon, and he had one hundred dragon spread across the continent. Twenty patrolling this area. The dragon said he wouldn't do anything to her village or it's residence until the five days were up. But what she didn't know was the dragons had already begun taking over the village, and making slaves out of it's people. "My village is not protected by guards anymore, I was the last one who made an effort to protect it. Most everyone else had fled away from the dragon. Then their leader forced me to leave to hunt down this group. I'm so sorry."
Eric had a surprised look in his eyes.His blue eyes widened and his pupils almost disappeared.With his mouth open in disbelief he was shaking his head.His blond hair was moving along in the wind."How is this possible"he thought while Vaan stood before him and asked something.Eric did not hear him, he heard only his own thoughts.Disbelief, anger and disappointment lay in his blue eyes."Hey Eric, can you hear me?" It was Vaan with a worried look in his eyes."How dare you to...." That was the only thing he could say. He nodded to Vaan,turned around and walked away in silence. Vaan followed with Nightmare in his arms to the the desperate Eric. Somewhere in the woods he stood still, a deserted spot in the forest. Sunlight shined through the leaves,The wind blew softly through Eric's hair.He sat on a log, the birds whistled and he felt betrayed. Vaan stood before him out of breath and looked at him with concern. -are you mad at Lanzia ...... Eric?'
'No, just disappointed. "
Fronder backed away from Lanzia. For once he was the one who was angry. He clenched his fist in rage. He looked at Lanzia who had climbed onto a rock upset. Fronder had tears rolling down his eyes. He felt very betrayed, furious, and upset. He remembered she said she had to do it for her village. Fronder couldn't imagine what he'd do if he had to kill someone. Fronder watched as Bandit walked up to him. At least Bandit knew how she probably felt. Bandit sat next to Fronder with a sad puppy face, ironic because Bandit was now a panther. Rage soon replaced and sence of reasoning. Fronder pulled out his bow and arrow, he pointed the arrow at Lanzia who had no idea what was going on behind her. Fronder released the arrow, shooting Lanzia through the heart. Fronder quickly began running to her. She was alive, but barely. "What did I just do, I'm so idiotic. V-Vaan, E-Eric, I think I might have killed Lanzia." Fronder backed of, arms shaking and tears rolling down his eyes. Bandit and Nightmare began bowling trying to get someone's help. Fronder had just injured someone who was innocent. All Lanzia wanted was someone to help her save her own village.
Vaan was startled by a scream, he knew who was screaming. He backed away a bit, be cause he just had heard Fronder scream that he might had killed Lanzia. Vaan felt nauseated and looked in disbelief at Eric who was still sitting in the tree stump.' E-eric.....d-did you heard th-hat?' Vaan said, stuttering and stammering. Eric froze and gasped for breath, "Did he kill Lanzia....did he just killed her Vaan?'
He didn't wait for Vaan's answer,Eric jumped off the tree log ran and towards Fronder and to an probably dead Lanzia.' ARE YOU NUTS FRONDER.....WHAT THE * he coughs* WHERE YOU THINKING....ARE YOU INSANE!!' Vaan heard Eric shouting at fronder. Vaan didn't Move, Fronder just at kill someone, he just had killed Lanzia! Vaan's legs Felt heavy when he ran toward the Fronder and an Shouting Eric. Once there, he shranked back.

Lanzia had no idea what had just hit her. The only thing she did know was that she was injured extremely bad. She was paralized by pain and her own fear. It took a while of yelling before she understood the situation. Eric was angry at Fronder, the yelling peirced her ears. But why would Eric be angry at him. Then she noticed the arrow, Fronder's arrow. What she could understand from this was that Fronder had shot her through the heart. She could see her own blood, but could do nothing about it. She was badly injured and losing blood fast. The only thing on her mind was her injury. She couldn't move her head, but she could see Nightmare and Bandit trying to help her. Nightmare nudged head and Bandit was bowling for help.
Fear was getting the best of him. He felt terribly guilty and idiotic. "I-I didn't mean it, I don't know what came over me. I'm so, so sorry." Fronder looked back at Lanzia who was laying on the ground. His arms were still shaking. Right now he was extremely frightened. He didn't like being yelled at, it made him upset. "I was a-angry, I-I'm sorry." Fronder was very frightened, fear can do many things to someone. One of those things are making them kill others. Fear had taken the best of him. "I didn't mean it, shouldn't we be worrying about Lanzia. Yelling won't do anything." Fronder had backed off away from Eric. He didn't want to be yelled at anymore. Little did he know that the East Dragon Ruler was watching.
The East Dragon Ruler had landed in a nearby tree. "This is getting interesting. At least I'm going to get some snacks tonight. I bet that Lanzia is unaware I already had destroyed her village and it's people. At least I don't have to kill her myself. But I do have to kill the rest of the group soon. I wonder how elf, prince, panther, lizardmen, and dwarf tastes like. I bet it tastes something like beef." He turned around to look at two other of his dragon servants. "At night we kill them, but remember, the prince is mine!" The dragon had a sinister smile spread across his face.
Vaan stared in disbelief at Lanzia who was on the ground. Because he suddenly stop he slipped and he almost fel in the mud.Trying to keep his balance he grabbed his bag with bandages and painkillers.When he stood firmly on the ground again , he sprinted to Eric to stop him.' FRONDER, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST DID THAT YOU IDIOT' Eric yelled angry at Fronder while he grabbed his sword. Vaan dragged Eric away from Fronder and grabbed Eric's sword.'VAAN LET ME GO, I'M GOING TO KILL HIM." Eric yelled kicking Vaan. Vaan stepped back and threw Eric's sword in the woods, Eric ran after his sword to the woods. Vaan knelt by Lanzia and tried to help her."Lanzia do you heard me....i'm Vaan, the boy you hate so much......you may kick me if you like....please answer 'Vaan aked worried. He notices that Fronder was still standing there, Vaan looked over his left shoulder and shuddered when he saw Fronder. The elf who never hurts anyone as just injured Lanzia.He had become afraid Fronder.      'f-fronder ..... why did you do that .... .... I thought you never would hurt anyone.' Vaan looked back at Lanzia trying to safe her with bowed head he said.' But i was wrong....you're an murder'
She could barely move, at that fact even breath. At least she could hear what was going on. Finally her thoughts and full contoiusnous had returned back to her. What hurt the most was her wound, it stung five times worse than it did a minute ago. She had heard what they were yelling at Fronder. Lanzia was surprised that Fronder wouldn't leave yet. Hearing Vaan she did her best to respond, it was difficult with the arrow. She didn't blame Fronder for what he did, she accepted the fact that he was terribly upset and frightened by her, so fear took over and he tried to remove his fear. That's what she'd do. "Don't yell at Fronder, he was scared that's all." She began around calmly. "Where's Eric?" Lanzia looked back at the arrow. These kinds of arrows were meant to kill far more than animals and monsters. At least, that's what she could tell. One crutial fact came back to her, she had an arrow through her heart. If she tried to pull it out, there would be the risk of death. "What ever you do, don't pull the arrow out."
' STUPID VAAN, STUPID STUPID VAAN!!' Eric searched for his sword in the forest that Vaan had thrown away. Eric was really  grumpy now,Where did Vaan get the the courage to throw his sword away in the woods?' VAAN I'M NOT AN STUPID DOG YOU KNOW?!'Eric yelled stepping on a tree branch. 'STUPID BRANCH! "He said kicking the branch away from His sight. He sighed with relief when he saw something sparkle.He grabbed his sword and looked at whether it was broken. Luckily for Vaan Eric's sword wasn't broken. In the corner of his eye he saw something flying over his head. Did he imagined it or was it a dragon flying over his head?
Â
Fronder wouldn't leave, he felt guilt and wouldn't look away from the group for a second. He wanted to make sure Lanzia would be alright. Only one thing made him turn a different direction. Three dragons were heading their way, the one with armor must be the dragon Lanzia was talking about. The other two dragons must be his servants. "Vaan, that letter said the east dragon ruler wanted Eric dead, right? If so, where's Eric?" Fronder saw the armored ruler dragon head for the forest. "That's where Eric is, Eric! Get out of there!" The other two dragon were heading their way. One of them landed on the ground, the other swooping towards Lanzia. To his relief Lanzia had just enough energy to throw her ax. With extreme accuracy the ax had ended up in the dragons skull killing it. Fronder killed the other dragon shooting an arrow through it's eye. In the forest the east dragon ruler had already found Eric. "Hello, Eric. Lanzia has run out of time, it's a shame I lied to her, her village and it's people were destroyed two days ago. Too bad I can't watch her reaction if I told her. You on the other hand will be lunch. Now stay still, so I can kill you!" The dragon begun trying to scortch and bite Eric.
Eric Prince felt powerless as the dragon bites him. for a moment he felt nothing,time stands still and the image frozes. A time when everything stood still. A moment when the leaves do not move by the wind,Eric's eyes do not blink and The dragon's teeth in his arm didn't hurt.But that moment is quickly passing. The leaves on the trees moved again, Eric's eyes blinking in pain, The blood dripped along the dragon's teeth on the ground and the pain in his arm was horrible. Eric collapsed in pain and looked horrified at the evil dragons eyes. A black haze formed in his eyes and he fell unconscious on the ground. on the background you can hear Vaan screaming:
NOOO ERIC...........THAT STUPID OVERSIZED CREAPÂ IS GOING TO DIE!!'
Vaan pounded the dragon in blind rage.
The dragon gave a terrible shreak of pain and took to the skies again as Fronder observed. Next to him Lanzia had feinted from exhaustion. The dragon was heading for Lanzia, before he had begun his dive he cruley spoke, "To bad the fool didn't realized I already destroyed her village and it's people long ago. Eric can wait for a few minutes, I'm going to take joy in finishing off Lanzia." The dragon begun a dive, Fronder was upset with what had happened, but he had no arrows left, and the dragon was going to kill a friend. Nightmare had walked in front of the dragon. Apparently Nightmare had grown full size during night. Nightmare crushed the dragons snout before it could do further damage. As the dragon was in the grip of Nighmares jaws, Bandit had scratched him across the neck sending it to collapse on the ground. "Looks like your group isn't as weak as I thought, you've won, I have to admit that I wouldn't expect this as the outcome. Tell Eric this, he'll never get his heart back, never." The dragon drew his last breath and layed dead on the ground.
