Dragon King's Abused

Episode 4

The massive storm which came last night was now gone, but only after ravaging the entire place in such a way that it became quite hard to tell that there was a forest which was once alive and full of trees and greeneries all around the land.

Because now after the terrifying storm last night, only the remnants of the wood left. The huge trees that used to stand high, turning the entire place into a subtle habitat of all the wild animals, was now lying completely broken and was scattered all around the ground.

The sun rays which barely used to fall on this land before, was now shining ever so brightly, increasing the heat of the place even more than before, without any mercy.

There was no more pleasant sound of the birds or the animals, who used to make this dense forest feel ever so alive before, but now each and every single aspect about this wood had fallen absolutely quite as if all of them were mourning over the death of the forest which once they knew as their home.

Even though the darkest and the scariest clouds from last night were gone, letting the blue sky shine ever so brightly upon us once again, nothing seemed the same as before any more. The wind too had stopped bewildering each and every one with its pleasant touch like it used to do before. Even though a new day had already begun but there was no reason left to rejoice after the immense destruction from last night.

All the tents that the men of Draco made earlier to reside in for some days while on their journey to some virgin land, were now completely tattered and lying here and there in some miserable conditions. Even the goods that they had brought along with them in order to survive in the middle of their journey, were no more as the massive storm from last night had indeed made a huge amount of loss to all of them.

In short, there were no foods, no water and not a good shelter to stay under comfortably. All the men of the dragon king had already started running here and there in order to find at least something that might come handy to fix the mess for the time being.

As soon as the storm ended, some of them went hunting right away, whereas some started gathering the fruits that had fallen due to the storm last night, while others were gone to fetch waters from wherever possible.

But even after all this m******e, the savage king stayed absolutely indifferent, as if nothing in the world had the ability to bother him even for a little bit. And his dragon, Egan was no different than his master.

Since last night, Draco did not move a single step from where he was, during the storm. As if, the storm got defeated as well but could not make the ruthless Dragon king dodge even for a little bit.

The whole place soon started to fill with the noises and the chaos that his men started to make as time went by, but Draco did not bother to interfere at all and let them fight with each other for no reason at all, as if death was nothing to him, let alone the fact that he quite enjoys assassinating anyone and everyone without any mercy.

So, this time was no different as well.

He kept sitting at the edge of the cliff, keeping his yearning eyes on the far horizon, as if he was still waiting for something precious for the eternity.

The clothes on his body had already dried on its own, as the cold just could not bother him at all.

And Egan who was there with him during the storm was now gone somewhere else, leaving his master behind alone.

Egan's huge mountain-like body which was enough to create an incredible shadow with his enormous wings, soon came into sight, but he was flying in such a height that he seemed like a tiny little black dot in the vast sky and was flying here and there.

He might have gone to look for his own meal to fulfil his hunger as well.

But even from this far distance, the vicious growls of the black dragon did not fail to fall on the ears of the men, which was still enough to make them tremble in fear of his rage.

Maybe that was how both of the prince of Dragonborns and his dragon had been surviving from a really long time till now, that no such disaster could take both of them down that easily.

"Draco!" Logan, the first hand of the Dragon King came to Draco after a while only to stand behind his King who was still lost in his thought.

Logan was no normal man either, cause after the savage King, if there was anyone who was capable to lead the savages with a strong hand, was no one but this warrior of the King, himself. But even after being such a fearless man, Logan was not at all courageous enough to interrupt the Dragon King without much of his King's will. So, he needed to wait until Draco decides to respond, no matter how much time the king takes.

Yes, Logan too was aware of the inhuman rage of his king, so he did not dare to say another word and kept standing at his place, while waiting for Draco to allow him to say further.

He did not have to wait for much though, as the deep horrifying voice soon came out from the one who was sitting ever so quietly on the edge of the cliff a while ago.

"What?" Without bothering to turn his gaze away from the far vastness, Draco asked Logan, allowing him to proceed with whatever he came to say.

"It is time for lunch, my king. Our hunt was successful and we all are waiting for you to come so that the feast could begin." Logan informed carefully and waited for Draco to give his orders.

But instead of answering, Draco whistled as loudly as ever, and stood up from the place where he was sitting till now.

And in no time, the little black spot which was still there up above the sky, started to increase bit by bit with each passing second and in the next moment, an enormous shadow covered the entire blue sky ever so menacingly.

Egan kept flipping his huge wings which were enough to create a whole new storm, declaring the arrival of the Dragon King's lethal beast, causing the men to shiver in tremendous fear to face the most horrifying dragon in the world.

In fact, Egan was the only one.

His large sharp scales all over his body shined under the bright sunlight, as if Egan was made of nothing but silver.

And among those silver-like scales, his deep crimson bloodthirsty eyes did not cease to glow even in the bright daylight. His skull was indeed of the size of a huge boulder but it was merely as large as his body which was ten times bigger than the skull without any doubt, let alone the inexplicable large and wide tail he has got.

His blood tainted horns on his skull were making his appearance even scarier while the crystal-like growth runs down to both sides of his jaws as well as his chin. Those enormous nostrils which kept blowing the steamed air out every now and then, were also covered with the fine but smaller scales. His innumerable sharp and vicious teeth which were still holding the traces of his hunt, were poking out of his mouth, creating a horrifying look of his own, showing why people must fear a beast like Egan.

Those two magnificent enormous wings were just like bat wings which were ending with two ferocious claws at the front, while he was standing as high as a mountain on the two legs at the back.

Each and every bone on his body was coming out of his skin all the way from his head to toe, and created all those sharp and spiky horns on his back, turning Egan into a completely horrifying and lethal beast among all.

And on top of that, the dragon's earth-shaking growls, declared the strength and powers that he possesses which no one can ignore that easily.

And when such a beast like this one was standing in front of all, it was quite certain that not a single one of Dragon King's men was able to stand still without freaking out in fear.

But here, Logan was different from all of them. Even though he was indeed afraid of Egan as well as Draco, he never avoided facing them both with the strongest heart of all. And maybe that was why Draco also preferred to keep Logan by his side as his first hand, cause the Dragon king was observant enough to know who was worthy of the title and who was not.

"Give him a piece first." Draco ordered Logan, as soon as Egan landed on the ground with his enormous body, and Logan had no reason to wait any further as he rushed to fetch the largest piece of meat that his men hunted earlier.

He picked up the meat covered with fresh blood and threw it towards Egan with all the strength that he got and in no time, the mountain like body took a small leap from his spot only to catch his food and flew away without bothering to stay at this place any longer.

"Now serve. And give them all their meats as well." With that Draco came forward to sit on the elevated trunk of the fallen tree while Logan rushed again to lit up the fire so that he could make the meat for his king, while few other men came forward to serve him the fruits that they have gathered until the meat was done.

The fire kept burning the fuel only to roast the meats as quickly as possible, while with the king's order, the feast had already begun. The men started to devour without minding anything else around them just like animals. Some of them even started fighting over such a small piece of meat while others kept encouraging their fight, which always ends up killing each other ever so brutally.

No, Draco did not say anything this time as well, as he kept enjoying himself with the food and the entertainment before his eyes.

It was such a nasty sight to watch with all those savages who were ready to kill just for food, without thinking much about the fact that if they do not stop any time soon, they might turn into some great meal for Egan tonight, as well.

"Draco! What is your order?" Logan came to stand beside the Dragon King, hoping that he might ask them to stop fighting, cause in such difficult circumstances when they were the victims of the storm, who were indeed left without food and shelter, those men were much needed in order to hunting and gathering. Unless they turn into someone else's food, creating a short of men in the Dragon King's army.

"Let them be. Is it not a good sight to watch all day? What do you think, who is going to be slaughtered first?" Draco replied in his low yet deep voice, ever so menacingly, which was quite opposite to what Logan had been expecting from his King.

Once again, Logan was ensured ever so clearly that Draco was indeed the most ruthless King ever, who does not feel any regrets neither any kind of mercy for anyone, not even for his own men.

Rather he always enjoys such a situation.

Death could never shake his heart until now, not even for once.

Logan kept standing still after what Draco just said, as he did not dare to go against his King's words, not even for one single time.

And the slaughter before the eyes of the Dragon king kept going on without any intention to stop, not that early at least.
