The Legend of Castlebury Mountain

Master, maybe you shouldn’t make any hasty decisions.”

“I want to kill them, I must!” said the Warlock in a fit of rage.

The Warlock placed his fingers to his temples and closed his eyes.  He gave a mental command to his Dragons, to attack.

The two Dragons came swooping down on the four, with intense flame coming from their mouths.

“Quickly we must make it into to the forest,” shouted John as he took Marrion by the hand and ran for cover.

Arthur and Lydia did the same.

The Dragons had landed and were walking toward the forest blowing flames, as they approached the four.

John looked at Arthur and said, “We must fight them!”

“I only have one bolt left and you have none,” said Arthur with a solemn look on his face.

“We must try, Arthur.”

Arthur armed his crossbow and placed it on his shoulder ready to fire.

“Arthur, aim for the eyes!”

As the first Dragon’s head came down to blow flames, Arthur and Lydia hid behind the large live oak for protection.

The Dragon kept blowing flames around the oak’s trunk.

“I’ll divert his attention,” said John.

“Marrion, you stay here behind this tree.  Don’t make any noise or any sudden moves,” said John as he held Marrion by the shoulders.

“John, be careful,” said Marrion as she kissed John on the cheek.

John walked out into the open and started to yell at the Dragon.

“Arthur, when you see your chance to shoot, take it!” shouted John as he started to run the minute the second Dragon approached.

“Lydia, you stay here, you’ll be alright for now.  John and I will take care of this.”

“Arthur, you’ll be killed and so will John.”

“We must try or we are doomed for sure, Lydia.”

Lydia kissed Arthur before he ran the other way.

Arthur turned around and began to yell at the Dragon to get his attention.

“I’ll divert this one.  You take care of the other,” said Arthur as he began to run when he saw the Dragon approaching.

John kept his eye on the second Dragon as he approached.

“How in the world are we to get out of this mess?  John said, while his eyes were focused on the Dragon.

John started waving his arms to get the Dragon’s attention.

The second Dragon was still heading John’s way and was completely focused on John as he quickly approached.

“John, you’ll be killed!” shouted Marrion.
