Chapter 7- A Frost Dragon’s fury

After nearly three days after leaving Howlsdall, the group arrived at Northwind. The huge dark runic walls gave a chilling feeling and drowned their hope. But Eyrokar knew this was the final bastion of FrostWing Imperial strength, and he was their beacon. Eyrokar spotted a lone figure at the gates of Northwind. Ereadus growled, “It’s him.” Eyrokar transformed into his Dragon form ready for a fight.

The Overseer Lord arrived just outside of Northwind! “Beyond that wall lies all those who dare defy my will… With Frost on his way, here will be his downfall. I could hold his dear mother at my mercy.” He laughed. The sound of snow crunching behind him caught his attention. He turned to see Eyrokar, Ereadus, and Sif! “Ahh, if it isn’t the three fools come to plea with the Empress for her assistance? Captain Frost Paw, Princess Sif, and you must be Eyrokar Darkclaws Frost. I must admit you are much shorter than I anticipated. No matter, Lord Devarius would love to have your head. I am feeling generous, how about all three?” The Overseer Lord asked. “So you’re the Overseer Lord… I was expecting a Demon, not some… half Wolvar.” Eyrokar growled. “I would normally go about this with my bow, but I want a challenge.” The Overseer Lord laughed as he slid his bow off his shoulder, and split it into two swords! Eyrokar summoned his sword to his main claw, His left, “That bow, and that Pendant don’t belong to the Thawsor. I will take them from your cold dead hands.” Eyrokar growled. “Please provide me with a challenge more so than any other Draconian I have slain.” The Overseer Lord said. “Gladly.” Eyrokar snarled as he charged at the Demon Lord!

The Overseer Lord lept onto a frosty rock, and jumped at Eyrokar clashing their blades together! A freezing shockwave was emitted from the weapons! Ereadus ran to assist his father, “Ereadus, Keep back. I will handle this!” Eyrokar growled as he swung his weapon over his right should. The Overseer Lord parried Eyrokar’s Ice blade! He then plunged his other sword towards the Draconian’s open scar, and Eyrokar flapped his wings, retreating backward! He then darted forwards, and Kicked the Overseer Lord in his chest knocking the demon back into the snow! The Overseer Lord hopped to his feet and glared at Eyrokar through his Dragon Skull helmet with his beaming yellow eyes. He then displayed his own wings, and flapped forwards darting at Eyrokar! He punched Eyrokar in his face, and then kicked the Draconian in his groin! “Really? My Genitals are protected you fool!” Eyrokar growled as he punched the Overseer Lord in his groin, “Unlike yours.” Eyrokar chuckled as the Overseer Lord dropped to his knees. Eyrokar raised his sword behind his head to deal a killing blow, then the Overseer Lord flapped his wings, and took to the frosty night sky! He began to bombard Eyrokar with a volley of fireballs! As the flames engulfed the Draconian warrior, the Overseer Lord felt as if he finally bested the undead. Then an Ice shard whipped out of the flames, and knocked the Overseer Lord out of the air, causing him to be pelted into the soft snow! The flames died down, and Eyrokar remained standing, but his horns and outer scales seemed to have melted! He shook his body and the ruined scales fell off him as they reformed in the cold air. The Overseer Lord got out of the deep snow pit he landed in and brushed off the snow from his red armor. Eyrokar created a shadowy ball of Dark energy. The Overseer Lord created a ball of fiery energy, and they both cast beams of energy at each other! The Beams met in mid-air, and clashed creating a bright unstable light at the stalemate! Eyrokar retracted his power and dodged the fire beam as he ran towards the Overseer Lord; Who held his sword out wide, and ran at the Draconian. Eyrokar threw his sword and lept into the air. He held out his claws in a vicious manner. The Overseer Lord had to determine if he wanted to worry about the frozen blade or the animalistic Dragon leaping at him.

He used his left sword to counter the thrown blade, and his right to impale the Draconian. Eyrokar parried the blade with his claw, and slid behind the Overseer Lord as his blade twirled past his foe, he caught his sword and clashed it on the Overseer Lord’s left blade, and his right claw held the Right blade. They were equals in combat. Eyrokar whipped his tail forward, knocking the Overseer Lord back! Eyrokar then swung his claw ripping the Overseer Lord’s chest guard off! As the Armor clanked to the ground, Eyrokar twisted around, and Kicked the Overseer Lord in his furry chest! Knocked onto his back, and Overseer Lord rolled up to his feet, now he was starting to fear his adversary. He tried to swing his right sword at Eyrokar, but found it had been frozen to the ground! He swung his left sword, and Eyrokar caught the blade in his right claw. He twisted the Overseer Lord’s arm causing him to drop the sword. Eyrokar then ripped off The Overseer Lord’s wings and knocked him onto the ground. As he hit the ground his Helmet was thrown off his head! It slid over to Sif’s feet on the ice.

The Overseer Lord, a young adult Wolvar, looked up at his doom. Eyrokar raised his sword over his head and when his eyes met the Overseer Lord’s he dropped his weapon and stumbled back! “Kill me or release me, but do not waste my time, Lizard.” The Overseer Lord growled. Eyrokar transformed into his Wolvar form. “D… Drakon?” Eyrokar asked. The Overseer Lord’s eyes widen with grief and sadness. “F… Father? Is it really you? You are a Draconian?” Asked the Overseer Lord as his eyes faded from yellow to blue. “Drakon… After all these years. You are still alive.” Eyrokar said as he abruptly hugged his other long-lost son. Ereadus, and Sif both ran up to them confused. “What is going on? What? Drakon!?!” Ereadus asked, seeing his brother’s face for the first time in years. Eyrokar pushed himself off Drakon and stood up. He helped his youngest son up, “Well… Normally I would kick your ass for this stunt, but… I think that was enough.” Eyrokar sighed. Drakon rubbed his head, “Everything was a blur. All I remember was being kidnapped and forced into an arena… And I am an adult. Uhh, Ereadus, Where the hell did you go?” Drakon asked. “Uhh Long story short, I wandered onto a merchant ship and found myself in a new land.” Ereadus chuckled.

“Huh… Who are you?” Drakon asked as he looked at Sif. “I am Sif, Fenrir’s Daughter. You killed my father and nearly killed me.” Sif growled. “I had nothing to do with that… Where are we?” Drakon asked, looking up at the huge towering Dark walls of Northwind. “Welcome to Northwind… I was going to bring you two once you were old enough… Well, I guess you are.” Eyrokar sighed as he changed back to his Draconian form. Drakon looked up at his Draconian father. “I guess that’s why I had wings.” He sighed, “Yes, you have a few traits from me… and Your mother is going to kill me; she liked your wings.” Eyrokar sighed. “Father… I don’t want to believe it until you tell me. Was Mother killed by Farison?” Drakon asked. “Y… Yes. Let’s speak to Tyrara, and get back on track.” Eyrokar growled as he pushed open the massive dark icy steel gate into the Draconian kingdom.

I started working on the FrostWing series back in high school. My teachers were so impressed by them that they allowed me to work on them instead of the class work. The FrostWing series is still in progress. Comments and feedback is welcome
