The Dragon Prince and the Seven Shadow Warriors
He stood there, over the sorcerer's lifeless body. The Prince wandered about his new friend, Liliana, she had gone back to help fight with the Spartans. The last words of the Hooded Man were rife with threats and bold accusations. Sam, now fully grown, from his recent transformation, looked as confident as ever. The rain had stopped, but the sky was still dark from passing storms. Sam had begun to traverse back the way he came, he had to get back to Liliana. He suddenly stopped when he heard the roars from above. There was a beast circling high above his head, roaring louder than the recent thunder strikes. The flames of the beast spewed out of its mouth as it circled Sam's position. The dragon started to descend closer to him, until it reached the ground beneath him. The size of the beast was impressive, as big as the Cyclops that Sam had defeated in Athens. It lowered its head, and started to speak in a foreign language. The Prince listened closely to the scaly creature, as though he understood him, and he did just that. Sam climbed on it's neck and held tightly to the rough scaly back. It immediately flown back up into the dark sky, and started navigate toward Liliana's known position. He quickly looked back at the courtyard, the body of the Hooded Man had vanished.
The beast, with Sam on it's back, soared at great speeds toward the battlefield outside of Tzaria and Okyra. There were hundreds of men walking beneath him, but none of them were Spartans. The place was a graveyard for the Spartan warriors, none of them survived the battle. Sam searched the graveyard far and wide for the red aurora Liliana gave off. He suddenly spotted her tied up, on a pole. The men were prepping to burn her alive, a death supposedly only meant for a warrior. "LIGHT THE TORCHES" A man shouted!
"No!" Sam spoke to himself. The dragon went into a deep descend, the Prince's hair flowing violently through the cold pounding air. He jumped off the enormous dragon, in between the hundreds of warriors around him. "Look who we have here boys, looks like we have the Prince of Dragons in our presence." The army of men collectively broke out in snarky laughter. The men stepped closer to Sam, "What do you plan on doing boy! You are outnumbered."
The man continued to mock Sam, then continued at his original plan. "Burn the girl!" A man lit a torch and started to approach the subdued Liliana. Sam pulled out his sword, his shield was left behind. "Don't make a mistake, Boy! Do you really expect to defeat all of us?" The men continued to laugh around Sam.
"Kill him." The man spoke. Bundles of men scrambled toward Sam's position, with their swords and bloodied spikes charging him from all angles. They all swung their swords and weapons with killing intentions, but each one of them missed completely. The speed of the man was too great compared to his many attackers. They all continued to swing away for Sam's body, but sadly, continued to miss. The Prince evaded the blows like wind during a gusty day, moving vehemently, but elegantly. The men started to become impatient with the Prince, they started to attack him more violently. Sam finally unsheathed his sword, and began to counter the hundreds of blows that were sent at him. All he needed was one swipe of his sword to kill each one of The Hooded Man's men. One by one, the men fail to the ground, with their own blood staining their garments. Liliana, still tied up, just watched as the once friendly boy from Okyra, butchered these pitiful men. After a few hundred men dropped from their living state, Sam walked up to the pole where Liliana was tied. He cut the restraints from her wrists and freed her.
"Thanks, Sam!" Liliana said with a smile. She approached him closer, with a puzzling look on her face. "You have changed drastically, what did you do to yourself? Your hair has gotten long, and it looks golden. You're finally taller than me as well." Liliana pointed out.
"I don't know what happened, it just... happened."
There was a moment of awkward silence, as they both watched each other closely. "So, whats your next plan, Sam. I was thinking we could go back to Tzaria and you could help me find clean up my home. I found a few survivors back home, and they have already started rebuilding."
"I am leaving, I am going to find out more about where I came from and what has happened to my body. Maybe we'll see each other again someday..." And just like that, he turned his back on the girl, and walked away....
