(yee is so sad)

Noctis dropped to the ground, still worried about being seen. He lowered to all fours and crept (oh look ehee) through the bushes, searching for the tallest tree he could find. He found a tall pine and climbed the branches until he was just above the treeline. The night sky was begining to brighten. Suddenly, something burst out of the trees a distance away. Noctis only caught a glimpse of large, clawed bat wings, a long tail tipped in spikes, and the glint of armor. Then, the figure dove down into the branches and disappeared. Noctis smiled to himself. There was his dragon.

He climbed down the tree and raced through the forest, toward the spot he had seen the dragon emerge from the trees. Halfway there, something smashed into Noctis. Noctis reacted immediately; he grabbed the creature by the neck and threw it to the ground, only to stop right in his tracks. It was a basilisk.

The basilisk was huge. It had a small, narrow head, with a thick neck and a long serpentine body that was over twice as long as Noctis. It was dark purple, with a black design similar to a python. It had a frill around its neck and down the side of its body. It's bright yellow eyes were glazed with pain.

Noctis let go immediately. He reconized this basilisk. His name was Vexor. Noctis had only seen him a few times in training. He was an assasin, just like Noctis. Noctis didn't know much about him, only that he had failed his job several times and was training to be a warrior instead.

But something was wrong. Vexor was covered in deep cuts, and part of the frill on his head had been ripped. There was a huge burn mark on his back.

"What are you doing here?" Noctis hissed.

"You were taking a long time to get back, so they sent me out to see if you were okay. AKA, I was sent to finish the job for you if you failed," Vexor smirked. Noctis was about to snap back, when suddenly Vexor's eyes filled with fear. "Get back!" he screamed, pushing Noctis backward. And just in time.

A green, thick, laser-like beam blasted where Noctis's head had previously been a second ago. The heat burned Noctis face, and he staggered back as the beam dissipated. He turned his head to side and saw the creature that was responsible for the blast. Before he could take a breath, the beast lunged forward and smashed it's thick, spikey tail into Vexor's head, crushing his skull.

He was dead.

The dragon who killed him slowly turned around, pale blue eyes fixed on Noctis.
