Legends of Kepler: The Dragon & The Woman

Chapter CHAPTER II: COLONEL OF THE BATTALION (3)



The main objective of dragons was to destroy the central root mother when it rose upon, since the destruction of this being dismantled the whole army of the Nénufar Beasts, and put an end to the endless battle. It happened this way because the beings acted in coordination, according to the signals of the Mother Root. With the death of it, all the Nénufares were also detached from life, and functioning.

The Ûm Group then left the trail of the way the hundreds of warriors needed to follow to approached the region, and descending, they entered a storm. Faint but incessant rain began with glowing lightning, which had an amazing aspect of a silver light. They fell deep in their midst, and large mountainous areas started to show up. Both moons were gradually shining with a bright appearance. Gisma, the smallest moon, was reaching its maximum waning level, while Rea the major moon, was still in its increasing phase.

The beings of Nénufar waited for those small spaces between the stormy dark clouds, to absorb the kinetic energy that these moons offered with their movement and splendor. That is when the Ûm Group finally arrived the zone, and descended at ground level with incessant rain; the Neufaros were already rising among the ground, and the dragons passed between them; dodging them. The monsters multiplied. With great anger, they destroyed everything in their path, trying to get the dragon’s attention. Capturing some in their path, but the strategy of the three hundred warriors of the attack group was clear: locate the swamp areas where the great Neufratos beings tried to emerged; they waited for their elevation, and immediately attack the main beasts.

They divided themselves to locate these areas and surround them. At that moment, the Sol group reached the zone, which corresponded to another two hundred dragons. They immediately start the attacking of the Neufaros, taking care of them and providing a great defense on the battlefield.

Dragons and Nenufares were impassively fighting each other. At a sudden moment, the water from the river began to rise simultaneously, something that had never been seen before in these battles. It was a synchronized elevation.

Hundreds and hundreds of monsters emerged from the swamps, with the direct signal of attacking all the dragons. From one moment to the next, they put the Ûm Group dragons in numerical disadvantage. The Colonel was forced to assign the group Quetra of rescue, as an additional attack group, for they were arriving at this moment. This decision represented a risk to the survival of the Army, but Kramian was an experienced dragon, the best for war strategy. He knew what he was doing.

With this movement, the Army of Splendor began to destroy hundreds of the monsters as a team, but their regeneration seemed endless. The dragons, this time, did not have their victory assured. The rain intensified, and lightning did not favor either side, annihilating Dragons and Nénufars at random. The battlefield was a real hell; a real agony for both sides.

Coelum and twenty other dragons were fighting in one of the main swampy areas. Their deadly breaths, attacked directly in forms of roars to the rising Neufratos, and overlooked the Neufaros who came from all sides. The swamp monsters’ goal was to distract the dragons to allow the elevation of their superior beings.

The distraction was achieved successfully, and suddenly, a giant Neufratos emerged, one of the greatest of the entire battle. Desperate, Coelum attacked the monster, but he failed to direct his squad correctly, which led to an uncoordinated attack which was unable to tear the monster down. The being grew fast, and popped out two heads. It left the swamp, enlarged its extensions in elongated forms, and embedded its huge stringers in the aquatic soil near the river. It used the strong currents to attack the dragons; throwing them a jet of water that hit them severely, knocking them all down.

“It is indestructible!” said a dragon.

“It is not!” Coelum exclaimed, while rising with one of his weak wings. “We need to attack one of their head, and with this we will tear It down! But we must do it together, are you with me?”

“Yes sir!” the dragon squad shouted.

The dark sky began to clear, and the storm calmed down, allowing the shining flashes of moonlight to illuminate the battlefield, giving the Lileín’s monsters an advantage as they began to absorb more energy. The squad then rose over the skies, with powerful roars of fire towards the Neufratos’ head. It weakened and baffled it, but this only increased it fury. It plunged into the lower acidic water of its swamp, and threw it into the squad.

Kramian saw his son fighting from afar. He was together with the Ûm Group. They were in an area of two huge Néufrates. From the distance, he inhaled to the fullest, and the Legendary Ruby Roar emanated, knocking down one of the two beings in his zone.

With the area now under control, he told Fliper to withdraw from his position and go to the area where his brother was located. He immediately flew to the place where the squad was.

Fliper and Coelum then began to orchestrate the battle against what looked like the Greatest Neufratos. They directed a tactic together, which was based on surrounding the Neufratos from the lower zone, and as they were gradually rising, they attacked with fire spheres which were directed at the main points of the giant being. The Swamp Monster finally fell. Similarly, the Ûm Group knocked down the pending Neufratos, along with many others in the zone.

The dragons seemed to dominate, until the greater moon Rea reached its perfect waning state. Perfectly aligned with Gisma´s light, they radiated an impressive energy. There was suddenly a terrifying silence. Resonant earthworks began to take place in the area where the princes of fire were located. The begetting of the Mother Root began. It used the remains of the monsters to grow even more. It rose between the coastlines of Lileín River and the nearer swampy areas, reaching an impressive size, and throwing large amounts of acid waters at the dragons in the air.

The Colonel redirected all the efforts of the Battalion to the great Major Neufratos; guiding the groups Um, Sol and Quetra to the attack it. Trying to bring down the monster of never-before-seen proportions.

“We are in the final stage!” exclaimed Kramian. “We have lost many warriors, and they will not have given up their lives in vain! Let’s make it worth it! There is no turning back! Let’s show them why we are the guardians of this world! Let’s show them why we swear to protect the lands that have blessed us so much! We will triumph and we will rejoice with love in our home and with our families! Let’s fight with the fury of the Kingdom of the Great Wėzhreem! Army of Splendor, once again, let’s go for them!”

A wave of enraged dragons headed for the attack. Kramian, Coelum and Fliper directed the onslaught towards the Greater Neufratos. It began to receive hundreds of flaming and portentous roars, but the monster caught Fliper with one of its colossal arms and threw him towards the depths of the nearby forest.

Coelum went to his brother, who was going in the direction to rescue him for he had been trapped by a small camouflage Neufaros inside the forest. He arrived at the place, and Fliper was seriously injured. He had hit himself with a big stone. Weakened, he tried to take refuge under a tree. He was cornered by the little monsters, which seemed to multiply among the bushes. Coelum then, tried to defend his brother, but there were too many of them. They knocked him down, and tore off one of his wings. Defeated, they began to trample on him with their great leg roots, crushing his helmet.

Fliper regained consciousness, and when he saw his brother about to be shattered, he got up and defended him. With immeasurable fury, he annihilates the Neufaros that Coelum had on top of him, and frightened everyone else of them.

He grabbed his brother and rose over the heights of the forest to leave the place. He tried to retreat to a quiet area on the outskirts of the Region, as both were seriously injured. Along the way, a Neufratos threw a litter of poisonous water that fell into the dragon’s eyes, causing an abrupt descent with his brother. Both of them fell on the shore of the river, in an area full of Neufaros.

Fliper tried to defend himself against the immediate attacks of the monsters while trying to snatch Coelum on the only rock found in the place. Sitting and seriously injured, he tried to support his brother with spherical roars of fire. All of this happened at the banks of an enraged river; in the presence of fearful currents. Fliper began to weaken. His armor no longer served him and his knees loosened. He battled with six Neufaros at the same time.
