Chapter 56 He Must!

• The golden dragon stopped midair above the frozen vast land. It stared at what used to be a kingdom, now nothing but sculptures of people and dragons and frozen houses. It closed its eyes, its wings spread wide and flapping to keep it in the air. Some seconds later, golden light formed on its throat, and it opened its eyes. The light traveled up to its mouth, and it opened it just as the golden scorching fire started pouring out. As the fire left its gigantic mouth, it started flying around, making sure that the fire touched every house, kingdom, and every clan. After it was done distributing the fire, the big beast stopped once more in the air, its gigantic wings flapping to keep it in the air. The golden beast suddenly turned into a young man, his hair was long and white as snow. He was covered in golden scales up to his neck, and his eyes were glowing a fiery golden light.
• Alaric closed his eyes and, bringing his hands to his mouth, he blew a ball of light into his palms. The more he blew into it, the bigger the light ball, and soon, it got so big that it exploded, raining tiny balls of light. Alaric opened his eyes and, waving his hands, he controlled the tiny balls and carefully gathered them into the ice sculptures. He watched as the sculptures absorbed the light balls, the light flowing to their chest and brightening it, glowing inside them. Moving his hand, Alaric controlled the fire he had spat from his dragon, and soon, it was like a wave of watery fire, flowing against the lands and into the forest.
• He suddenly spat out blood and nearly fell from the sky, but he got a hold of himself. He closed his eyes, breathing in a deep breath and wiping away the blood from his mouth. He continued from where he stopped, controlling the water fire, making sure that it had the right amount of heat so as not to damage or kill. Finally, the fireballs glowing inside the sculptures got so bright that the sculptures started cracking, turning into water, and melting.
