Isle Of Fangs - Activities & Event Entries: Milestone 9 (Kovidar)

The sharp scent of salt filled the air as waves crashed relentlessly against the rocky shore. The sun was beginning to dip below the horizon, casting a golden glow across the Isles. The peacefulness of the evening was shattered by the sudden, piercing call that echoed through the air: "Ships, human ships...ring the alarm!"

 

Kodivar's ears pricked up at the sound, his body immediately tensing. The call resonated throughout the island, a clear signal that danger was approaching. Human ships had been sighted, and the safety of the Isles was at stake. Kodivar knew that it wasn’t just the Ship Breakers who would rise to defend their home; all walks of dragon life would converge to protect the island from the human threat.

 

Kodivar sprang into action, his powerful legs propelling him towards the cliffs overlooking the ocean. As he reached the edge, he could see the dark silhouettes of the human ships on the horizon, their sails billowing as they approached. The sight filled him with a deep, burning resolve. These invaders would not be allowed to set foot on their sacred land.

 

Without hesitation, Kodivar descended from the cliffs, using a series of rocky outcroppings to reach the beach below. His thick, muscular form moved with surprising agility, his extra set of powerful arms aiding his descent. The other Woldren dragons were already gathering, their eyes alight with determination.

 

The Ship Breakers, with their massive, muscular bodies and razor-sharp teeth, charged into the surf, their roars mingling with the crash of the waves. Their purpose was clear: to intercept and destroy the human vessels before they could reach the shore. Kodivar joined them, his claws digging into the wet sand as he surged forward.

 

The water surged around him, cold and invigorating. Kodivar's deep purple fur, fading into light black at his hindquarters, provided a stark contrast against the foaming waves. He reached the first of the invading ships, a sleek vessel armed with cannons and manned by wary humans. With a powerful leap, Kodivar landed on the deck, his claws tearing through wood and metal.

 

The humans shouted in alarm, their weapons clattering as they scrambled to defend themselves. Kodivar's horns, curving forward like those of a bull, were deadly in close combat, and he used them to great effect, goring and tossing aside any who dared to approach. His extra set of arms, equipped with huge claws meant for digging, made short work of the ship's structure, ripping through planks and supports with ease.

 

As the ship began to list and take on water, Kodivar's fellow Woldren dragons continued their assault. Smaller, agile dragons climbed the sides of the vessels, their claws finding purchase on the hulls as they swarmed the decks. They were relentless, their coordinated attacks creating chaos and confusion among the human crew.

 

Kodivar moved to the next ship, his body a blur of motion as he leaped from one vessel to another. He fought with a primal ferocity, his grizzled exterior belying the precision of his strikes. His tail, short and tapering to a point, acted as a counterbalance, allowing him to maintain his footing on the slippery decks.

 

The battle raged on, the night filled with the sounds of combat. Kodivar and his comrades tore through the human fleet, their combined strength and ferocity proving overwhelming. The Ship Breakers focused on breaching hulls and sinking ships, while the smaller dragons targeted the crew and dismantled weaponry.

 

Kodivar's eyes scanned the horizon, spotting a particularly large ship attempting to flank the main defense. With a growl, he charged through the water, his powerful limbs propelling him forward with incredible speed. He reached the ship just as it began to fire its cannons, the deafening booms echoing across the water.

 

With a mighty leap, Kodivar landed on the deck, his claws sinking into the wood. The humans reacted with panic, their shouts drowned out by the roar of the Woldren dragon. Kodivar's claws and horns made quick work of the cannons, rendering them useless. He turned his attention to the crew, his powerful limbs and claws cutting through their defenses with ease.

 

As the ship began to sink, Kodivar's gaze turned to the remaining vessels. He could see the coordinated efforts of his fellow dragons, each one playing their part in the defense of the Isles. It was a symphony of destruction, each dragon contributing their unique abilities to drive back the invaders.

 

The humans were retreating, their morale broken, and their forces decimated. The dragons roared in triumph, their voices echoing across the water as they celebrated their hard-won victory.

 

Kodivar stood on the beach, his chest heaving with exertion. He surveyed the scene, his heart swelling with pride at the sight of his fellow dragons standing strong. The Isles had been defended, their home preserved for another day.

 

As the other dragons gathered around, Kodivar felt a deep sense of camaraderie and unity. They had faced the human threat together, and they had emerged victorious. The battle had tested their strength and resolve, but they had proven that they would not be easily conquered.

 

With a final glance at the retreating human ships, Kodivar turned to rejoin his fellow dragons, ready to celebrate their victory and prepare for whatever challenges lay ahead. The Isles were safe, and he knew that as long as they stood together, they would continue to defend their home with unwavering determination and strength.
