Even woke up early that next morning to get a head start from Grishnack. Even stretched his arms and fingers and closed his eyes as the morning breeze blew against his body. Even walked over to William and leaned over his face. William's eyes slowly opened. William suddenly shreeked and jumped out of his covers with his knife drawn!
"Yikes, hey man. It's ok, it's me, Even." said Even approaching William slowly.
William scanned the rest of the group, who was awake, and set is knife back in his boot.
Even sighed and walked over to William.
"Sorry about that, guess I should've just nudged yuh in the shoulder, huh."
"Yah, you prabably should've." replied William pretty aggervated.
Twenty minutes later, the group was back on their horses at full gallop towards the Easter shore.
Later that day, the group was stopping at a creek to give their horses rest, when a loud low pitched roar was heard up the creek!
"What was that?" asked Cerebus.
"Nothing but howling wolves." replied Alagan about to hop back on his horse.
"No, something way larger then a pack of wolves." said William drawing his sword.
A hard gust of wind blew towards the group making the trees around them almost break and fall! The same low pitched roar was heard, but this time even loader!!
"Dragon?" asked Henry.
"Most likely, everybody, get ready! In order to defeat this, we're gonna have to work together!" said Rylan.
Even peared over at Marion. Her knifes were shaking and her body was trembling!!
"Hey, it'll be ok. God is on our side, and threw him, anything is possible. Including if it's taking down a dragon." said Even walking over to Marion.
"I don't know. You may be right, but it's a dragon. I'm still scared stiff." replied Marion.
Tears began trickling down Marion's cheaks.
"Look, if you want, you can go hide in the woods with the kings." said Even.
Marion just stood there weeping.
"If you want to stay and fight, I'll let you. I'm not going to make you do anything." said Even.
"I'll stay. I don't know why, but I just think I have to." replied Marion getting ready for the mighty beast.
"Well, if it makes any difference, I'll stand in front of you and make sure your safe." said Even walking in front of Marion.
Tears still trickled down Marion's cheaks.
Even stood in defence as the roars became loader. All of a sudden, a rain drop collided with his forehead and began trickling down his face. Even looked up into the sky and back to Marion. Even tried to remember a saying he had once heard when he was a child.
As the mere man cannot enter the flame and not be consumed, Even thought, find something that cries rain or tears, I can't remember.
His thoughts were interrputed with another roar, and it sounded like it was right in front of him!! All of a sudden, a raging river came rushing towards the group!! The river consumed the creek easily as it continued to run its course through the forest!
"What sorcery is this?" asked Loakin.
"It's probably Arhegan!" replied William.
Then, something unexpected happened! The river stopped flowing. It just stayed still, like it was frozen in time! The loud low roar was heard again!!
"It sounds like it's coming from the water!" said Henry.
Marion leaned her ear down to the water. Like a claw, the water reached up and lashed at her head!! Marion shreeked, and right when she did, the rain began to pour down harder! Her brother grabbed her and swung his sword at the watery claw!! The claw seemed to evapperate as the sword swept through it!
"Everybody, step back!" yelled Arrante picking up a rock.
Arrante lundged the rock into the water. Instead of making a small splash and sink, it stayed on top of the water, like it was floating!
"What the!" yelled Rose.
Even began to walk up to the water.
"What are you doing! You saw what it tried to do to Marion!" yelled William.
Even ignored William's outburst and kept his pase towards the water. The water roared as Even got closer and closer.
"What's he doing?" whispered Henry to Arrante
"I don't know." she whispered back.
Even raised his sword over his head. The others watched curiously. Even faced the tip of the sword down towards the water.
"I think I know what he plans." muttered Rose to herself.
Even thrusted his sword into the water! The water russled!! Waves and wirlpools formed in the middle of the river! Even backed up quickly to the safety of the others.
All of a sudden, the water began to take form of a wingless dragon! The group gasped as the watery dragon roared. Marion screamed as she clentched her palms against her ears. The rain began to pour harder as she screamed louder. Even looked back at her and back at the dragon.
"What kind of dragon is this?!" asked Loakin.
"It's a plain dragon. With the acception of the fact it's made of water, twisted with evil and magic. Only a few have ever been seen in this world." said William.
The dragon reared up on its hind legs in a pool of rushing waves and wirlpools as if it was going to flame!!
"Spread out!" yelled Even running behind the dragon.
The group ran around the dragon completely surrounding it! The dragon opened its mouth to reveal layers of teeth and a blue forked tongue. Out came a green acid, in place of a fire ball!
The acid nearly hit William as he dived to the side! William looked back to see a caved in piece of earth!

Ok, that's all I can really write right now. I'm not very good at writing battles. Let's keep this dragon alive for a while, not like for two days or even a day! But, just keep it alive, I mean, it's a dragon!! Not a little salimander!! Don't just shoot it in the throat and say it's dead, ok? I mean, let's get our characters injured, their not invincible!! Plus, it's made of water, it'll make it harder to kill!
