He helped Brenwar up. “You never cooperate so easily with me.”
The dwarf grunted.
The monster bronze-gold dragon’s wings beat and lifted them into the air. Balzurth let out a roar.
The bull and blue streak dragons broke off their attacks and took to the air.
Nath felt his father’s lungs fill and the scales beneath him heat up.
A gush of fire exploded from Balzurth’s mouth.
The giants and wurmers turned to ash. The hillside burned with fire. As they rose higher into the air, the burning hillside was a bonfire below them.
In astonishment, Nath said, “Father, I can’t believe it was you who came!”
“Lucky for you I was in the area.”
EPILOGUE
Zoose and Goose stood far away from the burning hillside. The flames crackled and shot up into the sky. All of the giants and wurmers, along with what was left of Holbrook’s soldiers, were nothing but burning pyres that would one day fertilize the scorched soil.
Goose stared into his sister’s eyes. They were black pearls that shined with the orange blaze that reflected in them. She was no longer who she once was. Neither was he. Now, they were spies controlled by the spirits of the titans.
“Are you well?” he said to her.
She nodded.
Zoose saw a struggle within her. The dragon that came. Its fire had not only been destructive, but also cleansing. Those flames had destroyed the giants and wurmers and all of the evil within. He saw his future in those flames. He trembled. He stared at his bloodstained fingers.
I killed that man. Why?
A huge man marched out of the smoke and flames. It was Rybek. He carried his helmet in his hands. He stopped in front of Zoose. “Did I hear correctly? They called that dragon Balzurth?”
Zoose didn’t want to nod, but the evil that prodded him did it anyway.
“Good, then we have succeeded.” Rybek put his helmet back on. “It’s time to let the titans know that Balzurth is out in the world, just as they planned. Let the hunt for him begin.”
