AGE: 13
Alias: The Moon's Shadow That Shall Smite The Heavens
Name: Cheverell
Story: It was a cunning ambush at night. He mentally thanked whoever watched over him, if any did at all, for keeping him awake, as otherwise he would've been done for with the first strike. As it was, he dodged their first strike, only to have his legs caught in their desperate ever tightening grip.
Writhing in their grasp Cheverell grappled with his foe, this would-be-assassin, kicking out with claws and fang in an attempt to free himself. A momentary relief as their hold slackened for mere moments, only to dash his hopes as he attempted to escape, in pulling him down, squeezing his middle in a strangling hug. Gasping for air Cheverell bit down on their silken smooth flesh, tearing small holes. It pleased him that he successfully counter-striked as the beast made some rustling noises as it gathered itself for its next attack.
Mightily Cheverell cried out, "You will soon know to fear the silent moon shadow that captivates all; who's very existence chills the bones of even those of warriors long dead - a dragon whose very gaze instills faith and confidence in his allies, terror and predestined defeat in enemies. Whose very roar shatters mountains, stills the earth, trembles the heavens, and enrages the sea!"
"For I am he; and he whom stands before you shall judge thy fate!"
As he prepares the final strike, opening his maw to deliver death's breath that will end the assassin's life, they pull a dirty trick of body slamming him into the ground, catching the psuedodragon off guard with a small squeak of pain as he was overpowered to stay in such a defenceless position by the enemy; the small warrior pinned between the floor and the assassin whom now engulfed him in their size. Ah, finally he had met one that mayhaps be stronger than he.
Would he survive this?
Cheverell summoned up the last of his strength-
The light flicks on. Annoyingly the climatic darkness from before is replaced with a soft honest yellow glow.
"That was the loudest mock battle you've had this week. Some do try and do this thing called sleep y'know."
Cheverell pops his head up miraculously out of the murk of underneath the enemy to see another pseudodragon looking at him in mild drowsiness with a hint of exasperation and disdain; confidently Cheverell begins anew, "You're in luck dear peasant, for you are about to witness a finishing move that no other has seen with the good fortune of living to tell the tale."
At this point the other pseudodragon tried to interrupt, he ignored it, "Every good warrior knows he needs a bard to witness his travels so that others unfortunate enough to not be there when battles, nay, legends in the making, are birthed can hear of the tales and wonder at them." His words were emphasised with various flurries of motion including a few dramatic stances. Meanwhile the other pseudodragon scratches at a few scales and yawns before speaking.
"You were fighting. Your blanket. Do you not find anything wrong with that?"
A nod followed through with a slow knowing shake of the head, "Oh dear innocent one, you must know, as it has been spoken of in legends past, that an unappealing object like a blanket, turns into a monster once the sun sets, ready to tear you apart. You should be more grateful to have such a skilled protector such as myself to guard all whom reside in this pleasant dwelling." Praise...with an unnecessary plentiful helping of thick sarcasm came from the bard, "Oh hooray, my many thanks to you oh knight."
An ear twitched. Feathers quivered.
A pleasant smile on his face Cheverell spoke, "I'm not a knight. I'm a warrior, Max."
Yet another disrespectful yawn, coupled with a disinterested look, "There's a difference?"
Cheverell was not pleased with that. Closing his eyes he spoke with a finality, "Very well. When the beasts howl at your blood and death is imminent, do not come crying to me for protection."
Max sighed and changed the subject back to more its original state.
"So...why were you attacking your blanket this time?"
Grinning with pride Cheverell began "Ah so you finally want to learn why I fight, to learn how to fight; impressed by my mettle and battle skills. I appreciate your eagerness, but I am not accepting students at this point in time. You-"
Nope Max did not have the patience for anything to do with this pseudodragon.
"Battle skills. Show me that final move you keep talking about then."
Now flustered Cheverell took a minute to collect himself, "U-U-um, t-that's- You see- Er- This power is tainted so is sealed until there is great peril. It is straining to use, but for the better of the world I must in times of need rise to the call."
"Even with said seal I must wear this ancient gauntlet that prevents the power from seeping out to cause mayhem!" at this Cheverell proffers a paw up in the air to show off this...ancient...gauntlet.
"Without guidance from ancients I may cause damage to those I hold dear, power is a double edged sword my friend."
Another sigh from Max.
Walking away now, heading back to bed, deciding to leave Cheverell alone to finish his 'deadly' battle with a piece of fabric, Max called back, "You could start your own show, y'know."
Secound pseudodragon that appears in this story is owned by me #121 Max Lagotto.
Disclaimer: Any mention to powers in this story is purely a fabrication of Cheverell's chuunibyou, and as such has none of those powers in actuality.
*decided to turn this question on its head* x3
