chapter 5
cynder walked through the dark forest. "oh i wish i was back home..." Cynder sniffed. suddenly there's a shadow on the moon. "who's there?" Cynder said frightened bracing herself. suddenly the shadow leaped on her and pinned to the damp floor but it didn't attack her; it hugged her tight. "cynder!" a familiar voice sniffed happily. it was dash! "dash!" Cynder hugged the young dragon tight. "how did you get here?" Cynder asked. Dash looked upset "i was hungry and i umm stole from a evil dragon and now im on the run!" "oh dash!" cynder frowned at him. suddenly there was a sound of running. "run!" Dash whispered. Cynder and dash ran faster than a blazing rocket but the shadow followed them. cynder looked back and saw blazing red eyes. CRASH! cynder fell to the ground. she had hit a old oak tree. Dash ran over to her but got tackled by the dragon. "dash!" cynder said jumping up. it was much clear. the dragon had 6 scarred silver horns on his head and had dark blue scales and a light brown underbelly. "You think it's so funny to steal ehh?" the dragon spat. Dash shaked his head. "leave him alone! why dont you pick on someone your one size?! he's only a kid! why dont you pick on me!" Cynder snarled. "maybe i will!" the dragon spat turning to cynder gritting his teeth with rage. dash watched as frightened as a mouse being chased by a cat. "you think its funny to let your friend steal from me and my clan?" he told Cynder snarling. "i didn'tlet him! im a responsible teenager!" cynder said puffing up her chest. "oh really?!" the dragon snarled "the names Slash by the way!!" "yeah im quite sure Slash and im here now to protect this kid from the likes of you!" Cynder snarled and get ready to fight Slash. slash smirked "and what will you do if i do this?" slash darted over to Dash and bit his wing. Dash screamed and cynder could feel her nerve almost spilt with anger. "HOW DARE YOU!" she growled and pounced on him like a hunting cat. she pinned him to the floor by the shoulders. "it seems you dont have any wings." cynder spat. "so?" he frowned. "the most important key in battle is to have wings..." she told him. "No. show me one way wings can be helpful." he asked. Cynder smirked "sure." She flapped her wings as hard as she could, held him by the shoulders so his face was facing the ground for a niced piece of impact and flew into the air as high as a airplane flys. "dont you dare think of that!" Slash said looking at the floor worried. "wings dude, wings besides you hurt my friend." Cynder growled. she flew down like a metor, sparks of fire surrounding them then
CRASH! "CYNDER!" dash yelled running to a creator, round hole in the middle of the forest. smoke was in the air. Dash huffed and puffled and blew out a huge blow of air to clear the smoke. when the spoke cleared Dash saw two bodies on the floor. "cynder!" dash yelled jumping down to see cynder lying on the floor, hurt

"wake up!" he yelled nudging her. when he thought all hope was lost, Cynder opened her eyes and leaped up to hug Dash. "are you ok?" the tiny dragon asked noticing blood. "i dont care about it, its fine." she smiled. suddenly Slash stood up, his skin covered in cuts and eyes red and angrier than ever. he growled "how dare you. i shall kill both of you! and i'll show you what a flightless dragon can do!" he smirked. "uh oh." dash said.
