The Dragon Riders Saga IV

The Dragon Riders Saga IV Suddenly the hot breath if death came searing upon his back As he turned around the creature ever quickly did attack Thrown from the cave he turned and arched hard into a dive Speed he needed in the air to turn sharp enough to survive His enemy was cold blooded, heartless, and expertly precise What he saw attacking turned his Dragon blood to ice Taricrex diving his claws extended and his eyes a burning red glow The evil had consumed him that was easy to see from his show I've no wish to fight you, he was looking into Taricrex's eye Then Taricrex said "take your look around for it's here and now you die!" Taricrex swung his mighty claws, but for so long he'd had to prepare A quick move and all that mighty Taricrex got was open air In return to counter he lashed out with his own mighty Dragon claw He heard the sound or ripping flesh and saw blood gush from Taricrex's jaw Taricrex in his frustration wiped the blood from his chin Then Dragon fire shot forth from somewhere deep within Quick to move and he shot right back hard with his own spew The sky turned to a blazing inferno and flames came through They fought a hellish battle for many hours locked fighting in flight Fire, flesh, and blood flew with no end anywhere in sight Taricrex struck him with his giant claws, a direct hit A huge mistake and maybe the last that he'd ever get Across the lake and hard against the cliff he fell He heard his ribs breaking as he slid towards a fiery hell To come to a stop for a short time, but not long Taricrex swooped in ready to fight ever strong Resolve came flooding back and quickly filled his eye If he were to die this day then let it be in the sky Wings outstretched and up to finish this campaign He summoned all his strength and forgot his pain They hit so hard in midair it was heard for a mile When the Dragon eyes opened again he saw the Princess smile The fire of Blood Mountain Lake had closed over Taricrex after his fall They has tumbled from the air knotted in a giant ball As they hit the cliff he hung upon a ledge as Taricrex fell He'd survived the day and mighty Taricrex was consumed in the fires from Hell Without Taricrex's Dragon magic the Mage faced the rider in the cave It was now this was to become the Mage's grave For with the antiquities rune inscribed sword he struck a mighty blow And cleaved the Mage in half, and now all shall know
