Dragon Fury (Story.)

[Suiko]

We all know you were waiting for it and her is...

Chapter 5.

The fleet of dragons flew through the night sky, heading fast to a large building, the experienced dragon knight signaled as if this building was their new barracks. The building looked as if it was a small castle two stories with the roofing about another story high, except a flat surface on the top that was surrounded by hay and tools you may find in a horses stable, as one looked at the ground you would notice that the castle was sitting on a small island that seemed to be chained to the ground as if it might fly off, all the knight graduates stared in awe as this was the first time they have seen a sight like this.

The knight in the front landed his own dragon on the roof of the barracks and waited for the graduates to land before he gave further instruction, “well that’s all of you.” The pointed his finger out as he was counting all the knights to make sure all made it to the barracks with no problem, he shook his head then continued, “good, we didn’t lose any one. As you can see, this is your new barracks, and this here that you stand on is our nest, whenever your dragon is not in flight or with you then it should be nested. Now before you get to your rooms you must know this, the left side of the barracks is assigned to the men, the right for the women, there will not be any complaints of the women’s side being smaller as this is actually the first year the you have been able to graduate, you may thank King Rahal for this. Now you will chain your dragons to the roof of this building for a month until it gets used to the area, then he will sleep with the other dragons at the nest to the south. Now chain up your dragons then head to your rooms and get some sleep, as tomorrow will be very busy as your first official day as dragon knights. Now get to it, we don’t have all night, you will be up at five in the morning.” As the knight finished up giving his orders he walked to the wagon with all the luggage, “and don’t forget your bags.” He opened the wagon and unhooked it from his dragon and the dragon took its leave to the south, after this the knight walked around giving small slips of paper to everyone, “these are your room assignments.” As he handed the last graduate a piece of paper he took his leave into the barracks.

“Second floor, room 12” said Luc, “I wonder how the accommodations are here compared to the academy barracks.” He folded up the paper and stuck it in his pocket, then grabbed the reins of his dragon. “Can’t be much worse I suppose.”

“I hear they are much better, rooms are bigger and the Bronze wings have only on roommate.” Tyr said as he grabbed the reins of his dragon as followed after Luc. “And I also heard that silvers get their own room, and gold are moved to the castle. “I say let’s get our dragons chained down then we will check it out, and if it is only two to a room then we get one to ourselves.” Tyr showed Luc his paper and it said the same as Luc’s.

“Wow, same unit and same room, gods must be smiling upon us.” Luc said, “Shame Roy isn’t here to share the joy.” Luc just hung his head then continued, “Hope he is doing okay.”

Tyr stopped his dragon under a small overhang on the nest and replied, “come on, Roy was like top of the academy, he’ll be fine.” Tyr grabbed an ankle chain that was lying on the ground, “seems kind of cruel to chain the dragons to the roof.”

“It’s somewhat necessary, unless of course everyone could play the flute as well as you, then the dragons would be able to roam anywhere in the land. You’re the only person I know that can call his dragon from here as it was in the Northern Scarlet kingdom.” Luc said as he put the ankle chain around his dragon’s ankle and locked it. He stood up and looked into the dragon’s eyes, “I suppose I should think of a name to give you tonight, be a shame if all I could call you is dragon.” Luc looked away from his dragon and looked at Tyr, “I suppose you are right, I do hate having to be cruel to these guys, but it is necessary…”

“Oh shut up!” Tyr shot out in surprise, “we choose to treat them as we do.” Tyr placed his hand on his dragons head, “you know what, Luc?”

“Tyr, watch what you say, you are starting to sound like a rogue.” Luc said with a strong glare at Tyr, “I know it seems cruel, but we need to teach them to aid us.” Luc let the glare turn back to his normal face, “sorry, what was it?”

“I’m not chaining my dragon down.” Tyr said as he dropped the chain to the ground and pet the dragon forehead, “you know, rogues ideas aren’t all that bad, perhaps some, but I’ve never seen a rogue be mean towards his own dragon. I’m not going to force him to help me, I’m going to let him help me on his own accord, if this is wrong then there are some rules in the knighthood that should be re thought.” Tyr dragon just turned around and started eating hay.

“And how many rogues have you even seen?” Luc said as his dragon turned to eat as well. “It’s not like they come into the castle, or town often. Most go through their entire lives never seeing one.”

Tyr smiled, “I guess you’re right, I never have really seen a rogue.” Tyr took the lead with Luc behind him to get their trunks, “well I suppose that will change now that we are knights, I figure we will be seeing them all the time.” Tyr reached into the wagon and pulled out a trunk and set it at Luc’s feet then reached and pulled out his own, “well let’s go see those rooms shall we?”

“Yeah, I guess we should.” Luc bent his knees and lifted his trunk, “what was it?” Luc thought for a moment, “oh yeah, floor 2 and room 12. Alright let’s go I’m getting tired.” Luc said as he walked to the doorway that lead to the left side of the barracks, Tyr just shook his head in agreement and followed, “One last thing Tyr.” Luc stopped and turned around.

“What is it?” Tyr asked.

“You know that you would be severely punished if anyone knew about his conversation.” Luc said as Tyr shook his head in agreement, “If I was not your friend I would most likely report you, but since I am, I will stay quiet.” Luc turned and continued, “But I would appreciate it if you didn’t talk about that stuff too much anymore, I really don’t want either of us in trouble cause of something so minor.”

“I wouldn’t say cruelty is minor, but if it’s to keep our heads attached to our heads then I will speak no more about it.” Tyr said then yawned, “lets hurry to our room, I am beat and need some sleep.” The two just walked to their room and the last thing they did before going to sleep was placing the uniform that was folded on top their beds into their trunks, and bidding each other a good night.

Chapter 6.

A loud screech is sounded throughout the entire barrack, followed by a pounding on the door and a man from outside yelling, “Wake up call, get your lazy asses out of bed and get suited up. Breakfast is in half an hour!”

Luc just shifted around in his bed and finally threw his blanket off him as the screeching sound wouldn’t allow him any more sleep, he stared at Tyr who was already up and about fully dressed in his uniform and said, “some wakeup call…” Luc gave out a yawn, “damn man, you’re up early.” He stood out of his bead and quickly put the blanket back on and made it tidy.

“Come on, this is our first day.” Tyr started as he finished buttoning up his uniform, “any way, I could barely sleep last night. Guess I was a bit excited that all the academy training is finally over and we can start our real lives.” He finished his preparation with sliding his bronze wings over his hair. “Hurry up and get ready, breakfast won’t be in the mess hall forever.”

Luc opened his trunk and pulled out his new uniform and replaced it with his academy uniform, which he was too tired the night before, he never took off, “I’m going as fast as I can, some people still value what little sleep they can get.” Luc was quickly into his new uniform, it was a basic dragon knight uniform, a green jacket that reached to the knees with a single black stripe running down the sleeves, and the sleeves tucked into a pair of black leather bracers, and the bottom of the jacket had black stripe circling the entire jacket, the collar rose half way up the neck and had a black strip as well. Luc brushed through the jacket to make sure no creases were visible and finished with his bronze wings.

“Got everything?” Tyr asked as he placed his flute into a pocket on the lower right side of the uniform that was made specifically to keep one’s flute. “If so, let’s get going, I’m anxious to see who our entire unit is.”

Luc let out a deep breath and said, “alright, I guess we should hurry and get some breakfast then.” They both left the room and walked to the bottom floor, as the mess hall was located in the center of the first floor. They both entered the mess hall which was the largest room in the barracks, and there were knights along the tables, it seemed as all the bronze wings sat at their own tables and silver at another.

“Either the silvers don’t like to eat with the new guys or the new guys are afraid of the silvers.” Tyr smiled and looked at Luc, “let’s get some food and find a place to eat.” Tyr said and Luc just nodded as they both walked up to an old man that was dishing out food, “damn and I was hoping we would get another chef like Lucy, I doubt I can get extra food with this guy.” Tyr said as he grabbed a tray.

Luc followed behind and grabbed his tray too and the old man shout out, “if you really want free food, you better make it worth my while.” The old man started to laugh.

“That’s slightly disturbing…” Tyr said with a slight groan.

“Looks like you already got a lover.” Luc said as he laughed.

They both walked around looking for a spot to sit and found one near the bronze wings, but before they sat Tyr said, “Hey, let’s go sit with the silvers.” He pointed to the table that was surrounded by the older knights, “maybe they can teach us some things about being a knight, knowledge is power.”

“That is the last thing I would ever expect you to say Tyr, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt.” Luc said as they went over to find a seat with the higher ranked knights, as they found some open seat they sat and all the knights stared at them for a bit then continued their conversations.

“Don’t worry about the stares kid, not many you the new kids have the guts to sit with us.” A knight sitting next to Luc laughed, “Though I can’t say I was much better, I waited nearly two months before I sat with the silver wings.” The knight just continued to laugh then start conversation with another.

“I told you they wouldn’t think anything of it.” Tyr assured Luc as he started to eat.

“I suppose.” Luc grabbed a spoon that was next to a bowl and stared at his food, “this is food?”

The knight looked at Luc and said, “don’t worry it’s a lot better than it looks, it’s actually quite good with butter and a little sugar.”

Luc grabbed a knife and threw a small chunk of butter in the mush and watched it melt as he stirred it, “well I guess it could be worse.”

“Just take a bite kid.” The knight started to laugh again.

Luc slowly dipped his spoon into the food and pulled some out, it wasn’t quite a liquid but it sure wasn’t a solid, as it ran off the spoon he placed it in his mouth and swallowed it, “guess it really isn’t that bad, it’s a little flavorless, but still not bad.”

The knight just laughed, “It’s good for the body, and a man gets all the nutrients he need from this gruel.”

Everyone just continued to eat some telling Luc about that Rogue that he took down, though Tyr didn’t seem very interested as he replied that he would take down twice as many rogues then the knight that was boasting about his own accomplishment.

Everyone was finally finished, and most the silver wings had left the room leaving the bronze wings, waiting for their next instructions, soon a knight wearing gold wings stood in the front of the room and began to give out orders, “you are the new knights eh?” the knight said as he glanced around, “My name is Axel, and I am the highest rank at this barracks, any of my orders inside this building go over any one besides King Rahal himself, am I understood?” he looked around as the knights stared at him, “we will work with that later, but now you are to go to the nest and grab your dragons. The captain of your unit will meet you up there, today you will most likely do some drills and patrols then return for dinner, now get to the nest.” Axel finished as he took his leave and left the room before any of the knights.

Tyr got up and looked at Luc, “come on, let’s go see who is in our unit.”
