"A dragon, sir! Cried Rowan. "I see a dragon approaching from the west!"
"Go get the wizard" Came the calm reply. "He should be somewhere in the town."

Rowan went to find Aidric. After finding him in the tavern (Naughty wizard!) Rowan explained why he had come to get him.
"A dragon! I saw a dragon heading from the west!"
"The black dragon?" Inquired Aidric. "The one attacking the farmhouse?"
"No." Rowan replied "This one is red."

As Rowan and Aidric walked up the path toward the tower, Aidric sees the dragon, now much closer than it was before.
"God help us." Whispered Aidric.
"What?! What's wrong?"
"A wyvern." Came the solemn reply. "A red wyvern. Very rare. Very dangerous."

"Behold wizard! Shouted the knights captain, Tristan. "The dragon approaches, can you ward him off with your magic?"
After a short pause, Aidric answered. "I can surely try"

Then the dragon flew faster, approaching the tower faster than possibly imagined. It swooped down, and let out a breath of fire. Engulfing the side of the tower.

A now familiar burst of green light emitted from Aidrics staff. And an invisible hand seemed to punch the dragon, causing it to fly backwards to regain balance.
"Your puny swords will do nothing to this dragon!" Aidric screamed to the knights on top of the tower. "Hide in the tower, and save yourselves!"
"I will not run in terror, while this dragon is attacking my tower!" Cried Tristan. "I would rather die bravely fighting, than hide like a little child!
"Same with me!" Said Espan.
"And me!" Replied Alan.
Aidric sighed in frustration. "Fine, fight if you must."

The dragon came flying in for another attack, but before Aidric said a word of the aincent language, Tristan flung his sword, straight toward the dragon. The dragon couldn't alter it's fast course, and it flew straight into the blade! The blade landed squarely in its eye!
The dragon let out a squeal, so loud that it temporarily deafened the knights closest to it!
"Well I'll be! Cried Aidric. "I can't believe it!"
Then he remembered the dragon was still alive, though hurting painfully. He said the most powerful spell he could muster, and from his staff came a giant fireball. Engulfing the dragon. The dragon became a giant flying fireball, and it flew away. Though not dead yet, Aidric knew it would die soon from it's wounds. Or another dragon would kill it, and eat it.

Later, while the towns inhabitants cheered for Aidric and the knights, a stranger in a black cloak waited in the shaodw. Silent.

He was evil. Pure evil.

“The dragon roared, and spat out fire, the house caught on fire.
“Hold the dragon back!” Exclaimed Aidric. “I'll put out the fire!”
The knights were noble, valiant men, but they didn't stand a chance. Magic was needed. And magic was what Aidric possessed.
Aidric raised his staff, and a mighty green light sprang forth from it! The water from the pond swirled, and raised up, creating a sphere of water. The sphere shot out to he fire, and as fast as the fire had came, it was gone.
The dragon swiped a mighty paw, and felled Sir Theodoren. With a roar, a stream of fire spewed from the dragons mouth, engulfing Sir Theo.
“No!!” Cried Sir Espan.
Espan raised his sword, and charged the dragon.
“Stay back!” Yelled Aidric. “I'm coming”
Aidric raised his staff again, and the brilliant light of green was back, twice as large as before!
All the water in the pond swirled out, and with superhuman strength, it slammed into the head of the dragon! The dragon let out a mighty roar! Espan, and Sir Rowan took advantage of the dragons temporary blindness, and charged with their swords.
The dragon flapped its magnificent wings, and flew up into the air. A spell from the ancient language spewed from Aidrics mouth, and the dragon was pushed back, far into the open plain.
The dragon flew away, recognizing it's defeat.
The knights cheered! Aidric let out a sigh of relief. For now, the battle was over.

But the dragon would be back. And it would be stronger than ever.”

My entry to the Dragon contest, hosted by the amazing Siercon and Coral. Sorry about the not-so-good backstory. It would have been better if I had took more time to write the story, but oh well.
