Demon hunters: Slayers Part 7

We rode away almost blindly. My eyes were filled with tears and I know Jademere was sobbing, as I could hear her. I was hurting all over my body; there was a cut on my forehead and the blood was flowing freely, mingling with my tears.

I could not keep the sight of my fellow soldiers engulfed in fire from my mind’s eye. I could not believe that Amelia, my strong commander had fallen. It was too much for me to digest at that time.

Maybe we were too careless or we were not paying attention to our surrounding but we almost crashed into a Payla as we tried to escape into the jagged mountains.

It gave a roar and Jademere and I stopped in midair. We stared at the terrible yet somehow regal being in shock. The Payla was half man half dragon; deformed off-springs of mutant dragons and titans. They were powerful beings that seemed to have a racial hatred for humans and anything else that didn’t resemble them.

He must have followed the soldiers from the other realm through the portal as they; the soldiers’ mission was to eliminate Payla from earth. Maybe this particular dragon sneaked back in with them.

Our hesitation was our undoing and even as I swerved, I felt the full blast of its fire on me. My bike exploded and I plummeted to the valley below, as helpless as a dead bird.

As I was falling, I wondered If Amelia was dead and if we would meet in the hereafter. I was also so terrified, my chest seemed to be on fire, and my head throbbed painfully. I was going to die!

Suddenly I fell into something and banged my head. I looked up and saw that I was in Jademere’s magic horseless chariot. The silk clad elf looked at me in relief. I was so relieved that I couldn’t speak. I was safe! And I still had my gun which was strapped to my right arm. Somehow she had dive her vehicle and managed to catch me.

We soared up to meet the flying titan. It seemed to grin as it rushed us. We rushed forward to meet it, as we neared; Jademere shot the biggest frost ball I had ever seen. It hit the dragon right on the head, and without hesitation, I shot it. Seeing a beheaded dragon falling into the valley below could be so bizarre; on one end it was still fiery and on the other it was frozen. When the frozen part broke into pieces, the fiery end fell, still clawing the air blindly.

We flew on together in the chariot. I was badly hurt, and Jademere was not in her tip top condition although she regenerated very swiftly every time she got hurt.

Suddenly we saw dots in the horizons like swarms of bees; we swerved into some rock formation to hide and watched the dots grew larger. We gasped in surprise.

It was an army from Stormwind! There were a whole regiment of them from various units. We gaped in awe at the sight of those regal looking army in their uniforms and armours and mode of transportation. So they did assign someone after all…a whole regiment of them no less!

We hid from them as we knew that we could land into big trouble if the authority knew we went in without directives. I didn’t want Amelia to be implicated too as the army was aware that I served under her unit.

Instead of flying towards Stormwind,  Jademere made for her home in Silvermoon. We glided into the night as the sun set, travelling the night journey into the elf domain.
