Chapter 28 - Waging War

I

A few days after, the peacefulness of the Thregonad Village seems to be at a stake again. Four helicopters are going to and pro, flying around the aerial premises of Thregonad Village.

Dareon heard the rumbling sound of the helicopter’s rotors and so with furrowed forehead, he went out of their hovel to check what is going on outside.

“Chieftain, we are certain that these helicopters are trying to check on us,” Glendo exclaimed as he arrived panting because he seemed to have run fast from his hovel going to the Chieftain’s place.

“I also guessed the same. I need to find out who are they.” Dareon replied as he looked at his wife, who followed him from going outside of their dwelling.

“Glendo, tell all our warriors to be ready and the women, elders, and children to get inside their underground shelters now. Wife, please follow me, I will show you where our underground shelter is.” Dareon gently held the hand of Shelyca and guided her inside their hovel.

They entered their bedroom and below their bed, Dareon pushed aside a big marble and then Shelyca saw wooden stairs down.

“Go down there wife. Don’t worry, you will feel comfortable down there.” Dareon ordered her with seriousness.

“But Dareon, I want to help you and our warriors to defend Thregonad.” Shelyca softly said.

Dareon shook his head. “No please wife, just follow me. I am sure that they are the troop of Duke Simon and they are going to get you,” he once again held her hand and guided her down the underground shelter.

Shelyca wanted to resist but with a mere look at her husband’s very serious expression, she decided to follow him. In her mind, however, if it is needed that she has to come out and fight, she will.

She rounded her eyes inside the underground shelter and Dareon was true. She will not feel uncomfortable down here. Inside the underground shelter, there is a comfortable bed, table, mini wooden sala set, a basket of food, and a big jar of water.

After keeping Shelyca safe down in their underground shelter, Dareon went out of their hovel. He then saw their Thregonad warriors already lined up outside of his hovel.

“Men find your strategic positions; you know where to go right? I will fly and check these helicopters. Go!” he commanded.

When the warriors ran, finding their strategic spots, Dareon shifted into his Dragon form. He flew fast and chased one of the helicopters. With his dragon eyes, he keenly scanned the people inside the helicopter that he was chasing. Seeing that Duke Dareon was not there, he turned to his left and chased the other helicopter. He could hear voices inside the four helicopters. The passengers of the helicopters are now being rattled after seeing a big reddish dragon, flying and chasing their helicopters, one by one.

“Go, use our strongest weapon to kill that Dragon!” someone commanded.

It was a familiar voice that Dareon heard coming inside of the third Helicopter on his right side. With that Dareon flipped his wings and as his large and strong tail wiggled, it hit the rudder of the third helicopter on his right side. The helicopter spins around and Dareon could hear screams therefrom. After a while, the spinning helicopter suddenly recovered but it never dares come near Dareon, who is still in his mighty dragon form.

Dareon in his Dragon form, spewed out his fire, hitting the first helicopter fronting him. He did it as he saw that someone inside the helicopter has been aiming a big rifle at him.

Then successive gunshots filled the air but all of those bullets just tumbled back against the dragon’s thick skin walls.

As Dareon the Dragon, emitted fires once again, the second helicopter has been hit by it, burning it. With that, the remaining two helicopters suddenly flew away, retreating.

After the shadows of the two helicopters disappeared from the sight of Dareon, he immediately flew down the Thregonad Village. As he transformed back into his human form, a ray of light appeared rounding his form. As the ray of lights disappeared so with the reddish mighty dragon. Dareon in his handsome human form appeared in lieu of such a reddish Dragon.

The Thregonad warriors came out from their hiding spots and ran towards their Chieftain. Once again they were saved because of him.

Princess Shelyca who did not think twice to come out from their underground shelter when she heard the successive gunshots, ran fast also going to Dareon.

Dareon’s eyes squinted as he saw his wife running towards him, but when she hugged him tight and kissed him multiple times; his irritation suddenly disappeared.

“I was watching you fight against the four helicopters Dareon and it was just amazing!” Princess Shelyca exclaimed after showering her husband with kisses.

Dareon abruptly looked at his wife with his squinting eyes. “You did not follow your husband’s command wife?” he asked with eyes still squinting.

“Oh.” All Shelyca could say as she covered her mouth with her hands.

“You will be punished for that wife.” With more narrowed eyes, Dareon glanced at his wife who suddenly turned her face into having a pitiful look.

The Thregonad warriors looked at each other before looking at the wife of their Chieftain. They all shook their heads as if telling her that they could not do anything to stop their Chieftain from punishing her.

“Oh goodness, you are such useless warriors who cannot defend your Queen.” Shelyca frowned while looking at the warriors.

The Thregonad warriors laughed as they heard what Shelyca had said while Dareon with a serious face took her right hand.

“Men you can go back to your families now and you, wife, it is time to punish you,” he said and started to walk going back to their hovel while holding her right hand.

As they entered their abode, Princess Shelyca just kept her silence.

“Let us get inside our bedroom wife,” he commanded with firmness. Shelyca followed without uttering any word.

As they entered their bedroom, Dareon has spoken once more. “Have a seat wife and we will have a talk.”

Again, Shelyca followed as she sat at the edge of their bed.

Dareon kneeled in front of her and looked up at her. “Wife never disobeyed me again because I will be weakened if something happened to you. You are my strength, please do remember that” he stated with a very gentle voice.

“I’m sorry,” Shelyca muttered. She cupped his face and kissed him.

“It is time to punish you, wife,” he huskily whispered as he stood up, lifting her up.

Shelyca gave him a seductive look as she wrapped her legs around his hips and kissed him torridly.

“Oh holy cow, you seemed to be anticipating with gladness my punishment.” Dareon hissed and returned her kisses with fervor.
