Chapter 1
Octavius stood over the foul orc, severing it's head with a final blow. He turned to the sounds of more hideous shrieks from the now-dead orc's reinforcments. He raised his blade. They charged. Before they met, a blinding white light peirced through the dusty surroundings of the castle ruins. As the light cleared from his eyes, Octavius looked to the spot he last saw the beasts charging. In their place stood several figures. As one offered their hand to him, another finished off the last orc left.
"I contacted you three hours ago!" He teased.
"Sorry, we met some... resistance, shall I say" Ashdragon said, pulling Octavius to his feet.
"What do you mean?" Octavius asked, intrigued.
"Well, lets put it like this: some of the Dragonslayers will be in a new home six feet under." Ash replied
Wings called over, "Sir, more Orcs are on the way!"
At this Octavius sprang into action, shouting orders confidently.
"Wings, help Dman get that barricade back up. DemonJumper, JK, assume defensive positions along the walls and use whatever projectiles you have to delay them! Ash, Gilthas, unsheath your swords already and get against the second barricade!"
A rally of 'Sir, yes sir's' came from the group.
The Orcs were 300 metres away.
"GET THAT BARRICADE UP!"
200 metres.
"It's in place sir!"
100 metres.
Before the Orcs could get any closer a rally of arrows poured into the Orcs from the scond level of the ruins.
"Nice shot, JK!" DemonJumper said from above.
A second rally came not two seconds after.
"Brilliant!" JK yelled.
Though delayed, the Orcs kept coming, like the endless horde they were.
50 metres away.
THUMP!
"Hey what the-" Ash started
THUMP!
Closer this time, and with a rumble that went through the bodies of Man and Orc alike.
THUMP!
Like an earthquake this time. The orcs stopped running.
A huge shape loomed in the distance.
"Oh God no... it can't be..." JK began
"What?! What is it?!" DemonJumper asked desperately.
"It's the Hydra" Octavius whispered, though everyone heard loud and clear.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
End of Chapter 1
Hey guys, Gilthas here, plz read this! I have recently joined after posting this, just to say. If anyone wants to say anything about the story, just tell me. Also I did this at, like, 2AM, Sunday 28th. Mainly cos I was at a party, but I don't want to go into details cos I'm tired. More coming soon!
Chapter 2
Octavius and his men stood at the barricades, gawking at the huge form looming over the Orcs.
"That thing shouldn't be here sir!" Wings shouted, over the noise of screaming Orcs.
"I know, the question is, why the hell is it here?" Octavius replied.
"There's no time or questions! We need to attack it while it's preoccupied by the Orcs!" Ash yelled.
"Good idea, Ash. Problem is, it has three heads, one of which is looking straight at us." Octavius replied cooly. At this the Hydra released a jet of blue flame into the Orc forces. As the last of the Orcs cleared off into the surrounding forest, the Hydra turned it's full attention to the men in the ruins. As it approached, Octavius turned to his men.
"This day shall NOT be our last, men. We shall destroy this being of evil that has ventured too far. Here, away fom it's home it is weaker than before. We CAN beat it, but it will be an extremely demanding battle. Those who do not believe they can beat it, leave now." No-one moved an inch, except to kneel to Octavius.
"Stand up, my friends. You need not kneel to me. We may be different ranks, but we are equal as family." He turned to the ever approaching Beast. He shouted at the top of his voice.
"THIS IS THE DAY WE LIVE UP TO AND ABOVE OUR REPUTATION! THIS IS THE DAY WE BEGIN OUR RISE! THIS IS THE DAY WE DESTROY THIS BEAST ONCE AND FOR ALL!" He turned to his men one last time.
"This is the day we make the DragonKin known."
They charged.

Hey again guys. This was done the same Sunday as the last one was, just at about 2PM. Once again, if you want anything added, like your own weapon, armour, or other, or if you just want to as something, leave replies below plz.
Chapter 3
As the brave warriors charged, the Hydra changed tactics. Instead of charging, it turned and fled.
"Wha-?! Why is it doing that?!" Octavius asked aloud.
"Don't know, but it's not getting away!" GIlthas roared, charging ahead of the rest and jumping onto it's back.
"GILTHAS! Get back here!" Wings yelled, but it was too late. The Hydra had escaped their view.
"****! We need to follow it, sir!" Ash said, clearly annoyed.
"We will, after we stop by in Swordhaven on the way." Octavius said.
"Swordhaven? Why there? Shouldn't we just keep going?" Wings protested.
"We need to repair our weapons. I know they havn't been used as much since the last time but they need to be at top condition to slice Hydra scales." Octavius mused.
Three Hours Later
Finally reaching the Hydra's lair, JK noticed something strange.
"Sir, where did the noise go?"
"That is quite a good question, there's normally shreiks and hissing coming from the lair..." Dman added.
"Well it doesn't matter, we need to--" Wins began, as an almost inhuman blood curdling yell came from the cave, followed almost immediately by a terrifying shriek.
"AAAAAAAAAARGH!" Gilthas yelled as he emerged from the cave slowly backing out while slicing at the ever advancing hydra spawn.
"HELP HIM!" Octavius yelled to hs men.
At once everyone sprang into action, helping to slice down the Hydras. As Dman sliced into one of the beasts, his sword got stuck in it's skeletal frame.
"C'mon!" He shouted almost at the sword itself, as one of the Hydra spawn flung itself at him. Before it reached the warrior, Dman heard a yelp and looked up, to see the form of a Hydra-blood-covered Gilthas holding the beast up by the neck and, with his bare hands, rip it in two pieces. As the others finished eviscarating the other hydra spawn, Dman freed his blade from the corpse.
"Thank you, my Brother, you saved my life." Dman said, bowing deeply.
"Think nothing of it, though I would request one favour..." Gilthas replied.
"And what would that be?"
"A peice of cloth, or something to get the blood ofd my face." Gilthas laughed, Dman joining him.
"Right then, here you are." Dman said, handing over a cloth from his belt satchel. Gilthas wiped his face gratefully, only to throw it down and raise his sword to point at the cave.
"We'd better get going, that beast will want revenge for it's dead kin." Gilthas warned.
"Well, let's give it a chance!" Octavius cheered, heading toward the cave.
"I wouldn't... the damned beast ate me!" Gilthas said.
"Yeah right, if it ate you, how are you here!" DemonJumper argued.
"Well let's just say, it has four heads now..." Gilthas mused.
An extremely loud shriek came from the cave.
"Well, even more of a challenge then, eh?" Wings said, joyful.
"There's another problem..." Gilthas said.
"What's that?" Octavius asked. Gilthas collapsed before he could answer.
"Gilthas?! Gilthas?! Wake up!" Ash said, catching Gilthas before he hit the ground.
"Ash! Take Githas to the nearest safe area before the Hydra emerges--" Octavius began, as a horrific roar split through the forest. Everyone spun around to see Valkasar the Red Dragon stomp it's way towards them. Split between two creatures, Octavius wondered if the DragonKin would perish without even being known...

Hey guys! I think this is my best chapter yet, though more will come. After I finish this, I will be starting a "Rising" series for every member e.g. "Octavius Rising". This is to show a background to tell of that hero's rise into the DragonKin and a couple of adventures with them. So if you guys PM me to tell me where you would like to start out, details about family (NOT real life, just off the top of your head), what happens to make you start adventuring e.g. revenge, pride etc. You may also state what discipline you follow. e.g. Warrior, Mage, Archer, Rogue, Ninja, the list goes on, basically whatever class you can think of.
Until next time, Bubye!
