《On The Run From A Dragon》Day Five: Part Two
Advertisement
She gave Tom a quick squeeze to end the hug and then ran upstairs. Tom didn't know what she was doing, but he had to get stuff ready in the kitchen. Grabbing sugar, flour, rubbing alcohol and some small plastic bags. He made five bags, two full of flour and three with about a half cup of sugar each. Tom pocketed the alcohol and picked up all of the bags. When he was about to walk up the stairs, June threw down his suit coat. He caught it and placed the bags in different pockets. As he put on the coat, a question pop in his mind. 'How did she know?'
June came down the stairs wearing blue work overalls with her dress stuffed inside and his backpack. She walked pass him as he followed her to the back door. June garb a set of keys off the wall before leaving. In the backyard she unlocked the large work shed. When she opened the door, there was a all most new looking motorcycle from world war two. Tom looked over at her and she answered him before he could ask a question.
"It's a 1942 Harley and yes, I do know how to drive it."
June smiled and giggled as she leaned against his arm.
"Also you have to hold onto me."
He just sighed as June tied down the backpack to one of the side racks. She rolled the bike outside and Tom closed the shed door. Before setting down she hit the kick starter and got the engine purring. With the motorcycle being low tech, his magic shouldn't affect it. Shouldn't being the key word. Putting his arms round her as he sat down, she had a cheshire's grin. When they got on the road, she gave the engine a lot of gas and Tom held on tighter. He notes her work overalls had a lot stuff in the pockets. A black jeep full of kobolds passed them as they got out of the neighborhood. The jeep slammed down on its brakes and turned round to going after them. Tom pulled the alcohol bottle and popped the cap. Something shot by Tom's head as the jeep got close. Looking back at them, he could see they had long mean looking rifle and one of the kobolds was loading a dart. Placing a finger at the top of the bottle, he squeezed it as hard as he could. The fire beam hit the front grill and flames moved across the jeep like a living thing. The tires screamed like a banshee as it come to a stop, they jumped out of the jeep. The one's on fire dropped to the ground and rolled round. Tom let go of the empty bottle and pulled out a flour bag. June turned on to a divided highway and there was another jeep on the other side. It drove over the grass divider to make a U-turn and followed suit. Inside the jeep Zabel was talking on the radio.

"Beta-6 has eyes on White King and Black Queen. Handing North on Atreides Highway and passing Harkonnen Drive, over."
There was some radio static as a reply came in.
"Copy that, maintain distance and report movement. White Queen inbound, over."
Pressing down on the transmit button again.
"Orders received, over."
Tom ripped open the bag whit hie teeth and threw the flour in the air. Zabel told her diver.
"Don't let any of that white shit get on my jeep."
The diver didn't say anything as she moved into the right lane to avoid the cloud. From the back set the squad joker chimed in.
"Hey Sarge, that's what he said."
Just as they were about to pass the cloud, there was a Whoosh as the Fire ball exploded. The jeep flipped over one time before coming to a rest in the ditch. Tom didn't see any more black jeeps, but he kept his head on a swivel. He could hear someone yelling over the engine.
"Give Me My Husband You Bitch!"
Tom looked up.

{The Dragon Within} (Completed)
Meeting his fate at the hands of seven great heroes, the wicked drake now stands in Death's hall. Met with the Grim Reaper itself. Defeated and its pride broken, the drake doesn’t beg or grovel, it simply awaits judgement. It waits for the God of the afterlife to send it on its way, to either the heights of bliss and peace or where it knew it would be sent. The depths of agony and torture, the halls of Tartarus, the father of monsters. Grim looked up from its oaken desk and down at the creature that would have otherwise, if grown wiser and older, matched the reaper itself in power. Its faceless guise, hidden by a black hood and whirling shadows, it briefly stared at the drake. “You are unfit for the sky yet also too fit for the abyss,” Grim spoke, its voice a cracking whisper. “Your time came too soon, the actions you have taken will lead your world to ruin…Be reborn, pitiful serpent. Yet remember what you have done, see what your actions have made that realm into. Let me show you, how your greed and gluttony have warped such a wonderful place and time.” Grim raised its black-feathered pen towards the beast “Be reborn, as the weak pitiful creature you should have been born as. Take this both as a punishment and…a learning experience. For failure, can be the best teacher.” The drake took a step back, hoping to escape this cruel fate. Yet none escaped Death, less so its embodiment. Screaming shadows engulfed his form, ripping away at his body and shape. Fangs of darkness sinking deep into his draconic flesh, warping it, changing him into something else… Opening his eyes, the wicked drake felt none of its power, none of its magic and none of its might. As it stood at the edge of a cliff, looking down upon a ruined valley of rot and miasma. It glanced down at itself, seeing none of its sturdy scales or sharp claws. The drake had been reborn... As a Human. Will also be posting on CreativeNovels found here; CrN Where chapters will be posted earlier than RRL.
