《The Dragon Within(HTTYD)》Fourteen
Advertisement
It all happened so suddenly. We were about to take for home when a short beefy boy comes and tosses my brother to the ground. The look in his eyes glint with danger.
Night!
Go!
But. ..
Go! I can handle this,just go on without me.
I hesitate leaving him behind. Yes,Night is stronger than any human I've seen,but still he is human. Humans have limits for when it came to battle and by the look in that humans eye's, I knew he won't back down.
Night...
I jump at his sudden roar. How stupid of me.I thought with a grin. He's nowhere near a human.
I take off only to glance at the scene below. Night was in fighting stance ready for his opponent to come at him. The boy was sloppy as he came at him causing him to be pushed down to the ground.
He'll be okay ,why am I suddenly doubting him? Night will be okay,right?
As I fly farther away from the island I had a urge to circle back. But Night's demand echoes in my head. I knew well if I disobeyed, he'd never speak to me again. I'm the older brother ,though. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around, I am supposed to protect him.
Do not worry Night Fury.
I was surprised to see Nadder flying next to me as well as the rest.
Why are you following me? The queen will take control over you all.
Let her try. Says Nightmare with his nose in the air.
You are worried about the young Night Rider,so are we. But the boy is strong enough to fight on his own. Adds the Gronkle.
The sky turns dark as the stars and moon lit up the sky. My wings are aching begging for rest. But I refuse to give in. The sooner we get to the nest,the quicker I can return to my brother. A eerie song flows through the air, it pulls my forward into a sea of fog. Nightmare tries to fight it but I tell him to stop. She will sing louder and it would sting like a thousand speed stingers.

Dancing around the rocks and abandoned ships,we make it to the island. The atmosphere was as depressing as ever withstand its lack of lushes greens,nutrition and the need of security.
So...
Sad.
The Zippleback says looking at the island. We enter the mountain to find all the dragons new and old clinging to the walls. The scent of blood and fear fills my senses almost making me faint.
Fury... A low whisper calls for me. It was my mother's old friend Mother Nadder. She hung on the wall for dear life with her hatchlings clinging at her side.
Thank goodness your safe,but... She looks around,where is our Night?
Before I could respond an angry roar calls out my name from below. The roar shakes the nest causing many to lose their grip and hurry back. I gesture my new friends to stay behind nit wanting them to become lunch for our mistress.
I glide down to the eerie pit below. Raging eyes glaring up at me.
Where have you been!?
I explained what happened briefly to get through to her thick skull. She snorts in annoyance.
Deep down I knew she had something planned but what it was,I'm afraid to think about. I wanted to rebel but with her mind controlling my will I am unable to.
As I head out with a army of our best and living warriors,I couldn't help but hope our rescue mission would not be a success. I hoped Night would have escaped, as clever as he is,he should be in a boat and sailing home,or away from it.
Please be alright, brother.

Journeys in the Fairworld: The Gatekeeper
Lindsey Fluger was only slightly past eighteen. There was nothing particularly special about her, save that she happened to be the right person at the right time. When Lindsey is asked to join an expedition to another world she makes the mistake of saying yes, plunging herself into a sea of perilous adventure and dark intrigue. Journeys in the Fairworld is a fantasy anthology series set in The Fairworld, a magical realm existing in parallel with our own world which is governed by a group elfin beings known only as “The Good Folk”. These mysterious entities work in secret to keep the peace between the myriad of peoples and nations which dwell in The Fairworld. Complex relationships and bitter rivalries emerge against a backdrop of constrained resources and conflicting values to produce a world of high adventure and tangled mysteries. This novel is technically already completed, and I am currently in the final stages of proofing or editing. As such, there may be a few typos and errors here and there. The final version should be about 130,000 words long, which I will be releasing in stages as I continue editing. I'd love to hear your feedback and comments!

Zyon: The Alpha Of The North
Just as I think i'm going to make it out, i feel an arm wrap around my waist, lifting me into the air. My struggling does essentially nothing. I am incessantly weak, thanks to my non-compliant wolf. I feel myself being thrown onto the bed.I flip myself around to see him, standing at the foot of the bed, with his eyes darker than usual and a scowl set in. "I told you not to run, not once, not twice but thrice," he says. "You aren't going to like what I do now." As he leans down, I scramble towards the headboard, still on my back, my eyes never leaving his. "I told you I wasn't going to stay, why are you not able to understand..'' I'm cut short as I feel a hand wrapping around my ankles pulling me downwards harshly. I let out a scream as I kick my legs, trying to get out of his grasp. He wraps my legs around his stomach, grabs my wrists and pins them down, so he's essentially towering over me. I know what he plans to do. "Please Zyon, Please I don't want this." He looks at me and smirks, clearly enjoying watching me beg, "I don't care what you want. What matters is, what I want."------------------------------------------------Katherine is living a life of solace and acceptance with Daniel. With her wolf having become dormant, she has accepted the fact that she will live her life as a human. After all it was her own choices that got her here.

She fell in love with Daniel before her mate realised who he was to her and she is adamant to keep it that way. Her mate, however, may not feel the same way.
