The sky was black. Not black as night, mind you; pitch black. "If anyone says that ain't a bad omen, they will be smacked," Dontrelle thought aloud. Of course, his worries were well-founded, for no sooner did the sky turn dark did a distant swarm catch the Jamurai's eyes. At first, the swarm resembled hornets and ants far off in the distance, so Dontrelle was forced to squint ahead, though his eyesight was fine enough to see them that far off. When he did, he stopped cold. Hundreds of foul creatures soared through the blackened skies and trampled on the ruins beneath, leaving a massive dust cloud behind them. They were sickening bastardizations of what they knew, and it nearly made the Jamurai retch.
Not willing to let the demons get to them first, Dontrelle took the initiative and called down the recently fused Shadowblaze. Suprising the mighty dragon, the Jamurai jumped onto his back, making him screech for a short moment.
"What's the meaning of this?!" asked a suprised yet enraged Shadowblaze.
"Relax," the Jamurai cooly responded. "You and me are takin' on the air force. The rest of 'em will take care of ground control. Now are we gonna get movin' or what?" Hesitant, Shadowblaze yielded to the Don's strategy, and the dragon took off towards the clouds.
Dontrelle was both exhilarated and disenchanted all at once by the amazing view. Besides being in an airplace, he never saw the landscape so well from so high up, and with the wind in his face, the adrenaline was definately pumping. However, the landscape could depress anyone. The whole earth was nothing more than a wasteland of brown dirt and decimated ruins of once-prominent buildings. When he remembered that these buildings were his new life, and that they were reduced to nothing but rubble, his resolve to take down Tiamat grew exponentially as he drew his magnificent blade once again. He held it high in his right hand as he hollered, "Time to blow these foo's out da sky!" Shadowblaze roared in approval, and they dashed hard and fast into the cloud of aerial demons.
OoC: That's all for tonight. |
