“We can’t hold them, their pushing in!”

“Fall back, Fall back to the hall!” A squad of guards with thick metal armour ran through the narrow corridors of the castle. They passed an arch leading into a massive hall with long tables and seats around them. From the ceiling hung holders for large candles to go into, each one was lit illuminating the halls. On the walls hung lit torches, inside the hall were more guards and in the middle of the hall stood a man donned in huge thick black armour, it had gold along the ends of the armour, the man wore a skull, the skull of a dragon for a helmet, a blood red cape hung from the back of his shoulders that came all the way down onto the floor. He towered above all the other guards standing at least two feet taller than the biggest of the guards. In his right hand was a long sword, the bottom of the handle held a small blue crystal and the blade was shaded a dark blue colour. On his left arm was a large shield made of complete metal shaped like a dragon’s skull. The man looked down at his left hand, in it was a pink cloth. His hands held the cloth freely. Suddenly the sound of wooden doors smashing and crashing onto the ground made the man look up. For a short time he stared at the small closed door leading into the small narrow corridor, he looked back down at the cloth and started to clench the cloth until his hand was a fist. He used his left arm to place the cloth in his right shoulders heavy metal armour. Suddenly he let out a small quiet sigh then spoke, his voice was also quiet.
“Sarah,” The man looked up at the doors which started to bang.

“Dragon, we know you’re in there, surrender now, or face death!” a man shouted through the other side of the door. The man in thick black armour shouted back.

“I do not fear death, I welcome it with open arms, but it is death that refuses to take me, you think you’re the only ones who have tried to kill me?” He asked, suddenly the doors broke down and a man in armour came walking through. He wielded a scimitar in one hand and a glowing rock in the other.

“If you do not fear death why do you run?” He asked, the man in black armour looked away.

“That…Is not me running for my life. That is me running with someone, someone who I was to protect” He said. The man with the scimitar laughed.

“So…It’s true, the great and powerful ShadowElite, is not the only dragon left alive” He said, ShadowElite looked back.

“I AM NOW HUNTER, YOU SHALL DIE FOR WHAT YOU DONE!” Suddenly ShadowElite lunged at the man with is sword in the air. The man quickly side stepped away and dodged ShadowElites attack. From the broken down door millions of people with various armours and clothes flooded the hall, each one armed with a weapon. ShadowElite and the hunter threw their swords at each other crossing them and putting them into a struggle.
“DO YOU FEEL IT HUNTER!?” ShadowElite asked, the hunter let out an angry look.

“I feel it, I feel your death at hand!” He grunted,

“NO HUNTER, IT IS YOU WHO SHALL DIE!” ShadowElite shouted. Suddenly ShadowElite shifted his sword and pushed the hunter’s scimitar away, the scimitar flew into the air. ShadowElite plunged his sword through the hunter’s chest. The hunter held the blade of the sword as it went through him. Blood ran from the cut in his hand and his chest. He dropped the glowing stone. Slowly he looked up at ShadowElite.

“You…I…D…D…Dragon…Di” The hunters eyes closed and his body feel to the ground. ShadowElite pulled the sword out of the hunter’s chest. With the palm of his hand he wiped the blood off his sword as much as he could. He looked down and saw the stone. Quickly he picked it up off of the ground. He put it in a small pouch that he pulled off of the hunter. He tied it to his waist. Suddenly a yell, ShadowElite quickly looked up and saw a man charging at him. He lifted his sword and blocked the attack, then kicked the attacker in the gut. The person fell to the ground holding his stomach.
“Guards!” ShadowElite shouted,
“RETREAT!” ShadowElite ran to the back of the hall and watched his guards do the same. The guards ran through a door at the back of the hall, ShadowElite went through last and closed the door, he made a fist and slowly raised it up. As he lifted his hand the stone in front of the door lifted to form a wall in front of the door. ShadowElite turned round and saw his guards.
“Quickly open the trap door, we must leave” ShadowElite said,

“But…Sir…We were winning the fight” A guard said, ShadowElite looked at the guard.

“…No…We weren’t…There was more of them outside the castle…More than an army…I don’t know where he got all those people to fight for him, But we weren’t winning…We must flee while we can, you people are only human…I…I am not…You know that, now open the door we’re leaving, all of us, no one gets left behind.”
