Eltheas Story 022 - Dragon attack on the Road

About this image

…The following morning turned out to be a sunny day. A good day to continue the journey to Ivarstead. They walked through the Eastmarch, south towards the hills. Along the way they didn’t find anything exciting. Just some wolves hiding in the bushes ambushing animals and man alike. ”Who knows… This might be a relaxing walk for once” Jenassa said to Elthea. “Perhaps we can make some real distance without many interruptions!”

But before Elthea could respond, a large shadow blocked out the sunlight. “Watch out!” Elthea screamed while pushing Jenassa off the road. Right at that moment a large dragon flew down spewing fire on the entire road. The dragon kept circling above the duo, spewing fire at the 2 companions. “Take him down with your bow!” Elthea said. “Aim for the wings”. Both Elthea and Jenassa took out their bows and starting shooting when the dragon swooped down at them. After a few misses one of the arrows hit the dragon in the wing.

Difficult to maintain his altitude the dragon dropped down in an open area on the road. “Keep firing arrows, I’ll go in close” Elthea said while switching to her greatsword. She ran towards the dragon while evading the fire breath the dragon continuously threw at her. She evaded the last fire breath nearly and was caught off balance. The dragon took this moment and snapped at her legs. Elthea fell to the ground unable to defend her self.

The dragon was about to finish her off until it suddenly roared in agony. Jenassa managed to hit the dragon in the eye with her arrows just when it was about to finish off Elthea. Elthea used this moment to get on her feet. take a large swing with her sword and decapitate the dragon…
