It was a cold morning when I woke up. Feeling the cold hard floor underneath where I lay, I uncurled myself and stood up. Feeling a little stiff I stretch myself and then I turned my attention to the window. Seeing frost on it I begin to walk to it when I reach the frosty window I wipe it with my hand and I peer through the icy window. There I saw through my crimson eyes a blanket of snow on the ground. I stare out into the mountain pass. Seeing hardly any moment from the wolves I turn my attention to the sky. There my eyes saw my breathering flying under cloud coverage with their wings out stretched, necks straight, there front and hind legs close to their stomachs. I begin to wander what today will bring.
My reflection in the icy window showed that I had scales which were tinted deep blue with crimson eyes sand a small pointed nose. Below my nose was my mouth which was hidden by scales which had two sharp white fangs peeping below my upper lip. Where my shoulder blades were I had two light blue wings with a silver gold tint to them. I also have spines down my back, claws and talons.
After I stared out into the winter wonderland for awhile I headed outside to see my great and beast friend who is also my companion and protector. I turned and exited my quarters in a calm and quick fashion. Once I reached the entrance to my quarters I felt the cold and wispy wind touch my shimmering, beautiful, and colorful scales but I didn't shiver. I was warmed only by an internal flame. I walked onward to a cliff that let you look at the mountain pass below with great and wonderful views. With my keen eyes I saw a black bird which resembled one of my clan's spies. I decided to wait for him to reach me in case he had some important information for me. When he finally reached me I held out my palm. The bird flew into my hand and took a few deep breaths before he spoke so he could catch his breath and calm him self.
He spoke in a calm voice which told me, Rosa we have spotted a male human with a wolf similar to Paris near our territory and that they are near Dragon Lake which has the underwater passageway in it. We believe he is a Templar because we have seen their crest on him.
"A wolf similar to Paris that must be Hurdo. If he has the crest it must mean he is a Templar and this means it can't be good if he is in our territory. I will get Paris so we can sneak up on this Templar and find out what he is up to. The Templars do know that our clan is the last one of our dragon kind. This male must be looking for a way to destroy the rest of us. Before he does we will strike first and assassinate him before he assassinates us." when I spoke my voice was light and beautiful not to harsh but can give orders in.
"I already know what he is up to. He is going to lure you and Paris away from our home to attempt and assassinate our elder. I will be on the lookout in case we need back up assassins to help with this Templar if things get ugly." The bird said as he launched himself back into the air to follow my lead.
I begin to beat my wings fast and hard to launch myself into the sky. I climbed high into the sky until I was in the clouds. I easily spotted Paris at Dragon Lake inside our mountainous home. I raced to where he was and quickly landed beside him. Ralph landed on my shoulder. Paris felt my presence and turned to look at me. he is an arctic wolf hybrid who has a wolf body, head, eyes, and tail with silver gold wings with a deep blue glow to them. Hidden by his snowy fur are his floppy ears. His eyes are golden yellow and below them is his small pink nose. The body he has is muscular and heavy.
"Hi Rosa and Ralph what’s up? Is there something wrong?" Paris asked in a deep voice that had a growl to it. Knowing that Ralph was with her something was differently up and wrong.
"We have a Templar in our territory and he is near the underwater passageway leading into our home."
"A Templar you say I thought that they believed that we are dead."
"I thought that too until Ralph spotted him with Hurdo."
"That wolf who betrayed my kind is with this receted human. Now I see that we are in trouble. That wolf can lead him to that passageway and directly to the Elder dragon and legendary assassin and kill them. With him dead he will probably kill the rest of us if we don't go with him."
"That what I was thinking also. We have to assassinate this Templar before he figures out a way to wipe our clan out. I have a way to kill him and not be seem by them."
"That is almost impossible since he has Hurdo with him but we can try."
"First we need a blizzard that is a rank two so they cant see us. Then when that storm is in play we use eagle vision to locate them and assassinate them before they know what hit them."
"That might work but Hurdo can also use eagle vision to see with and if he uses that he can then see the underwater path faster. I think I have a better idea."
"I forgot that he can use eagle vision as well. Lets here your idea."
"We lure them away from our home by doing what we do best. We get spotted and then we run to hide at the same time luring our spotters away from there spot or task. once the coast is clear we sneak out from our hidden spots and assassinate our prey without them knowing what happened."
"I like your plan and it shall work. Do we need a storm though to hide in but still be followed?
"The Templar perhaps thinks that the dragons are extinct but the wolves are still alive. If you want to use a storm to hide in that would be wise."
"Since we figured out to assassinate them we better put this plan into action."
"Right, Paris said as he began to beat his wings and rose high into the sky." Ralph launched himself into the sky and headed to where Paris is waiting. He then circles him. Seeing where they are Rosa then launches herself into the sky.
With the wind getting stronger and the clouds become darker. it begins to snow. The temperature begins to decline again.
"Looks like there is a storm on the way." Rosa said to Paris
"I can also feel there is a storm on the way." Said the black bird
"Good idea and hopefully they wont show up before we do. i will head back as soon as I can to protect the elder from any Templars while Rosa checks on the underwater passageway."
"Lets speed it up shall we. Paris said back as he signaled Ralph to lead them to the human and wolf companion. I'll go on ahead and keep my eyes on them and make sure they don't locate the underwater passageway."
Rosa uses a tornado and snow combined spell to speed up this blizzard that was slowly forming. Rosa controls the tornado so it doesn't hit the ground and cause destruction and panic. With the tornado and snow whirling around the temperatures begin to decline rapid. With winds howling the storm now begins to form rapid and take shape.
Once the storm is in play Rosa uses her eagle vision to locate where her comrades have gone to. She quickly located them in this storm and flew quietly and sneaky to where they were. Once she reaches them . Paris quietly signals her to look down to where the Templar and Hurdor is. She looks down and finds that Hudor had picked up his ears and was talking with his companion.
Hurdor was just like Paris except that he had crimson wings, somewhat lighter and not as muscular.
What is he doing. They all thought silently to themselves.
"Paris lure them with a fire tornado away from the lake. I think it should be four miles away from the lake when you use the decoy."
"I will keep a keen eye on the elder if any Templars show up to get one of our guards. “Said the black bird as he headed back to the elder to keep an eye on him
"Good idea and hopefully they wont show up before we do. I will head back as soon as i can to protect the elder from any Templars while Rosa checks on the underwater passageway." said Paris as he kept his eyes on their targets. "Rosa you stay here and make sure they both follow the sight of the fire tornado." Paris said as he headed for his mark. With that Rosa laid her eyes back on her prey. Paris quickly reached his mark and summoned a fire tornado. Rosa seeing that Hurdor saw the fire and pointed it out to the male and headed towards it with Rosa following them without being detected.
Paris seeing that they are getting nearer he then launches himself into the sky with the cover of the storm so they wont see him. However Hurdor sees him and then takes to the sky racing towards him.
"Hello Paris I see that you are still alive after one hundred thousand years have gone by after that fateful war between the Assassins and the Templars. I see that your dragon clan is or perhaps dead. Hurdo said with a hiss and a growl.
"Your still a traitor I see and yes the dragon clan is long dead. Traitor your time ends now.
"I don't think so from the looks of it you are the one and that dragon is going to die and be wiped from this world as just a memory in the wind."
"What how did you know that I have a dragon with me?"
"Simple I used my eagle vision to pin point you and then I saw her with you."
"Anyways your time is up."
Growls and roars were herd from the two of them as they begin to fight. Claw swipes, fangs and tail swipes were seen while there were fighting. Seeing this Rosa lands a helping hand and charges at them. Once in range she uses her dragon claws to strike Hurdo without scratching Paris.
"So I was right dragon. You are the last clan of your kind but it doesn't matter we will destroy you before you have the chance to gain wold order from us."
"Paris stand back I'm going to put this wolf in its rightful place."
Paris stands back and looks for the Templar and sees that he is headed on foot towards them as slow as possible. Probably waiting to see what happens.
Rosa uses her fire breath attack which is a level five, hot like a volcano. The breath attack reaches its target and burns the victim to a third degree burn. Hurdo screams in agony. His attempts to cool himself off and smother the fire weren’t enough. His skin burns alive, killing the traitor almost instantly. After the victim was burned alive to death, the fire kept burning till his bones were turned to ash.
"Nicely done Rosa." Paris said as they watched the ashes fall from the sky and gets taken by the wind to unknown places. "He really was no match for a dragon. What a same that he didn't see that." Paris said as he landed on the ground
"Now for that human." Rosa said as she landed on the ground and started to head for him with Paris at her side.
"So I see that Hurdo is no more. How sad for him that he is dead. The same for you once I'm done with you." The male human said with a deep and low voice with a hint of a growl to it.
"I think not since you are just a human. You have no abilities like us but you have machines to help you. Like that would kill us." Rosa begins to break into laughter at the thought of a machine that these humans posses to attempt to kill a dragon.
"I know that those machines can't kill ones like your selves but I have a better idea. I would kill your elder dragon assassin and gain control over your clan. As we speak I have a team of Templars who are getting closer to your hiding place."
"You wouldn't dare. I won’t let you and I can stop them with ease and skill."
"Lets see if you can dragon."
With one swipe of her claw that hits his stomach and Paris's bite on his leg the Templar falls to his death.
"Like I said he is no match for us and for our clan. Lets get back to our home and stop those Templars from reaching the elder."
"Right, I'll go ahead to protect the elder while you stop those Templars in the underwater passage way from reaching our home and our elder." Paris said as he headed for their mountain home. he quickened his pace when the mountings were in sight. every second counts he thinks to himself
Once Paris was out of sight Ross headed for the lake quick on foot as her strong and long legs could carry her with keen eyes leading the way in the bad weather. When the lake was in sight Rosa jumped into the sky and flew a little ways then dived into the icy cold waters below. Diving as quickly as possible she headed for the lake's bottom then she changed her direction to swim for the base of the mountain. Once inside the small passageway she quickened her pace. Knowing that she can't use her fire breath since the passageway was full of icy water to protect their home from threats that can’t stand the icy waters. She chose a combination attack one that has poison and ice combined. Continuing swimming forward she easily spots the Templars and raced for them. With a smoggy and icy breath she easily pensions and freezes them and with a quick swipe from her tail the frozen Templars shatter into tiny ice pieces. After they were killed she raced for the elder dragon and Paris. When see she’s that they are still alive and Paris is fighting the last Templar. Rosa quickly stood guard to protect the elder from any other threats.
Paris uses his claws to deal heavy and quick damage to his opponent and his bite to break his arm from using his sword the Templar falls to his knees. Instead of killing the last threat to the elder he casts petrify and turns the Templar into stone.
"Will done Paris. Rosa said as she walks up to him." Rosa said while clapping her hands."By the way where is Ralph? Let me guess he chickened out once he saw a Templar."
"The last threat is no more. Elder are you all right?" Paris said as he tuned to great Rosa by shaking her hand.
"Your right about Ralph. He did flee when I was attacked by that Templar. Luckily I could fend him off and that there was only one of them."
"If you ask me Ralph shouldn't be one of our spies since he is to scared when he sees a Templar but if it wasn't for him we wouldn't of know about the Surprise attack from those Templars."
"I'm fine just a bit shocked to see the likes of them still alive and wanting our kind dead still. You would think after one hundred thousand years have gone by that they would think we are all dead. " The elder assassin said in an aged voice. "You are right about Ralph but we should be lucky that he wasn't scared to locate a Templar in our territory and to report back to one of us about it."
"That's good that you aren't hurt elder and i also thought that those Templars would think that we are dead since it has been that long but that traitor Hurdo lead them here." Paris said in a deep growl. "we are lucky to have Ralph." Paris said in a low growl that is normal for his speech.
"I see so is Hurdo no more as well." The elder assassin said in a low growl/
"Yes all the threats are gone now. We are safe again and hidden once more but I think we wont she the last of them."
"Why you say that Rosa?" the elder said in a surprised aged voice
"I have a felling that one of them was caring a camera to let the rest of the Templars to see our hiding place."
"I see but we will be ready for them. We are the clan of mighty dragons who have assassins to protect our kind and clan from the likes of the Templars. They wont bother us if they show up again."
After the events Rosa and Paris set off to dragon lake to take a swim in the icy cold waters. They are very good swimmers and can hold their breath for a very long time. Soon the sun was going down and it was time for bed. Paris this time slept within Rosa's quarters in case he gets a really bad nightmare. They both had a long day and now they will rest up and tomorrow they will look for more Templars in case they strike again.
