18. Charming Avenge

** “Earthly Wound; Heal. An Injured Mind, Heal By Avenge.”**
The blood oozes out from the wound on the left-winged arm of Nora, the night fury. Though being the strongest female warrior in the entire Ayruzglow kingdom, she felt the pain gravely.
What hurt her most was not the wound on her left-winged arms; it’s the failure she grasped in the battle between Queen of Black Witch and warrior pack of werewolves.
While hovering over the Black Iris Forest, the tired wing of Nora leads her to a rough landing in the bank of Fairy Tears River.
Nora smashed her head against the piece of rock. Nora’s anger of revenge stroked her mind evens more ferociously than the pain of the wound.
Nora grunted in pain, “Revenge will be your gift, you wicked witch. I will rip off the skin of freaky werewolves to wear it as my overcoat. Until then, I won’t rest.”
On the utterance of every word, blood pumped out of her mouth. She was aware in her half-conscious state that she could not fly with her damaged wings.
So, she yelled for help and with the grief of pain, she collects all her powers to spit the silvery purple sparkle to shoot towards the sky.
The sparkle burst like a firework after reaching its maximum heights in the sky. Before long after the sparkle signalled, Nora, fall unconscious leaning against the small rock on the shore.
The bloodshot eyes restlessly closed voluntarily against her wish of awakening. The breathing was lowered gradually hoping to regain her strength to avenge her hurters.

Ivan Shirk wandered across the Fairy Tears River in search of Witch Palace, halted to see the purple firework in the sky. His mind was rushed with many thoughts, his wings flapped immediately to his destination to reach the origin of the sparkle, voicing, and “Sister”!
Ivan Shirk in his dragon form looked ferocious in search of his sister. He took his red dragon form, a pure-blood of more ferocious species, known for its gargantuan size in the dragon clan. The entire body of Ivan was covered in thick scales in the colour of molten rock with large two horns toppings on his head facing backwards.
A smaller horn sprouts just behind the tips of his blunt muzzle (nose). Some of his scales grow in sharp ridges widespread back along its face, growing ever larger down its back and even along the crests of its powerful wings, giving the red its unique spiky look.
He flew piercing the thin air, breathing fire in his nostrils with fiery eyes, inside the dragon scales, his heart was beating as faster it could.
The topaz-eyed red-dragon scanned every corner of the Black Iris Forest to examine his sister and by the bank of river Fairy Tears, he found his sister who was wrapped up in her blood.
Seeing his beloved sister in the blood pool, the glaring topaz eyes changed their initial colour to red in rage. His eyes emitted a drop of fumed tears; he transformed to his mortal form to hold his sister’s head in his lap and asked her what causes her to be in this condition.
Ivan patted her cheeks to wake her up from the unconscious, on his every patting on her sister’s face, his heartbeat against his ribcage in terror. With tremble voice, he called her, “Nora, open your eyes. Please.”
He looked around with tears filled eyes. He made her sit against the rock and rushed to the river to collect water to wake his sister from the unconscious. The water in the Fairy Tears River was cold as ice, his trembling hot hands could not cooperate with him to collect the water.
He splashed against the river water in anger, his eyes leaked tears of sorrow. He looked at her sister who was leaning against the rock-like dead log. He wiped his tears, collected some water in his hands and rushed towards her sister to sprinkle the water on her face.
He wiped her blood-covered face to clear and repeatedly called her, “Nora, wake up. Please don’t scare me. Please don’t make any play with me like this. I am not strong enough to accept this. Nora...?”
Ivan’s words reached her ears, she responded to him by opening her eyes. She blood coughed to let a word out of her throat. Ivan dabbed the blood from her mouth with his hands, “Nora...?”
While wiping tears from her brother’s eyes, Nora replied, “Found…Witch Palace…Peridexion tree…Black Witch” and then she loosed her consciousness, “Werewolf…”
He hugged his sister close to his heart and shouted in agony. The rage in his heart made him change to dragon form and gave a signal of producing red flames in the sky to be understood only by his friend, Dev.
He uttered, “I will avenge everyone whoever hurt you, Sister.” He left his sister on the Shore of Fairy Tears River and flew towards the witch palace to seek revenge for his sister. He breathes fire in every exhales of his breath.
Upon losing all strength, Nora changed to her dragon form lying on the banks of the river Fairy Tears.

Dev was wandering over the south side of the river and received the red flames that were tailed to reach him. The red flames dissolved in the air after showing the image of Nora and the Fairy Tears River.
He flexed his wings to the north to find Nora. He was shocked to see the female warrior of his kingdom in the pool of blood.
Nora in Dev’s perspective,
Nora - the Night Fury who has an appearance of dark purple. The unique look of purple night fury was the pair of rounded crests on her skull. The rounded snout, teeth arranged in the upper jaw looked beautiful with a vicious appearance.
The neck was covered with a small neck frill on either side. On attacking the neck frill opens to help the dragon blow the purple flame continuously. The large wings, two pair of limbs with claws, the sharp nails helps the purple dragon to win over the battle.
The entire body from the top of head to tail, the hairs were grown alike the arrows stuck to its body. The tail ended with a haired bunch. The purple dragon can harness the power of darkness of night and attack the intruders from range.
Nora is famous for her shadow-effect attack and her hard scales were designed in such a way that she cannot easily pierce by swords, arrows, and other weaponry. She is one of her kind and the only female of the highest ranking in the list to join the Dev’s defence army.
Nora allied with Dev and Ivan to fight against many evil creatures gained a reputation on her wounds of victory and received fame for her hard work.
The female legendary warrior was attacked by Black Witch and warrior werewolves. She then never wants to give up but she ended up hurting her left hand i.e., her left wing.
Dev walked towards her and grabbed her in his arms. Nora opened her dragon eyes, Dev touched her forehead, uttered some spells. She turned to her mortal form, only her eyes were opened to look at him.
Dev carefully placed his fingers in her neck to feel her heartbeats. Nora’s heartbeats seemed to be normal and he placed his thumb in the middle of her forehead and closed his eyes.
A white sparkle glittered in his forehead and that glitter transferred from him to his thumb and Nora suddenly choked to receive such sparkle from him. He waved his hands in the air uttering some spells, the calm and cold river water suddenly bubbled up.
Some droplets were formed over the calmly flowing river and all the droplets were organized to form a single ball of water. The water ball reached his hand, Dev splashed some river water over her to wake her up from the unconscious.
The water from the Fairy Tears stuffed the magical healing ability for those who believe in its magical powers. Dev being a born white wizard used the river water’s magical power wisely to revive Nora, he called her, “Nora…Can you hear me?”
The river water worked on her, she opened her eyes painfully and murmured the name, “DEV”
The happiness of regaining his female warrior back to life overwhelmed him. Dev replied Nora with a sigh of relief, “Wake up my warrior. Let’s go”
Nora with little difficulty in voicing, asked in a puzzled tone, “Go where? Witch palace?”
Dev looked at her with his raised eyebrows; he helped her to stand up on her feet and replied with a little smile, “Witch palace…! You have found it, haven’t you? Let those phantoms in my care and you rest in Ayruzglow to regain your powers.”
Nora was weak on her legs. So, Dev took his white dragon form, hold Nora under his big claws and flapped his wings to the Ice Castle of Ayruzglow kingdom.
