In the end Lucian decided not to launch his advance. The Knight placed the pummel of his scythe into the ground next to him as the dragon came with a rush landing towards the ground. The dead trees cried and shuttered as he slammed into the ground.
The creature extended itself to appear tall and powerful. Its height is even greater than when it was simply taunting Lucian. The Knight could only compare it to an animal trying to make itself look bigger when trying to scare away a threat. Indeed he looked upon Lucian as a threat.
In all likelihood Lucian was. There was a good chance the Knight would do great injury to the dragon, if not kill it. If it was dead then whatever was happening here would have been counted a failure.
<span class="mu-s">“Turn back now, Human.”</span> Spoke the Dragon with a guttural force of anger, <span class="mu-s">“You have stepped too far. Even if the Gods bless you, their blessings will not protect you from my wrath!”</span>
“You know as well as I do, Dragon, that if I wanted to that seal would have been broken before you landed here. That the thing you were keeping sealed would escape and we would be forced together to slay it.” Lucian said as he leaned his scythe forward, “I did not do so out of respect for you, don’t lose it.”
<span class="mu-s">“What is behind me is the incarnation of death itself!”</span> Declared the Dragon with a gutteral fury, <span class="mu-s">“Mortarifax sits behind me, one of my Kind who gave himself completely to Death so that the Daemons of Chaos could be fought back. I will swear to you that even the Gods themselves would not succeed if they joined you in fighting him.” </span>
“If the creature has a mortal form, a corporeal body that a blade can destroy, then it can be killed.” Lucian argued, “I am Lucian, Chosen by Morr the God of the Dead and Death. It is only with his authority that I die now, for even the passing of the ages will not wear on my bones.”
<span class="mu-s">“He cannot help you against Mortarifax.” </span>Argued the Dragon as if he was not listening, <span class="mu-s">“And if you break this seal I will make sure that you are the first he eats.” </span>
Lucian focused his eyes on the Dragon and he decided to test the Dragon. “If you fought with my blade, we could put Mortifax down. You cannot bring yourself to kill your own friend.”
There was no answer from the Dragon, for he knew that lying would be useless. Instead he gave a steady growl of anger and annoyance as he could not talk his way out of it.
