It was at that moment that above them a cloud began to twist and thicken. Bolts of lightning began to erupt from it and it darkened until it was a deeper blue than the sea. Moments later, with a roar, the cloud had finished transforming into a blue dragon and litning exploded from its mout and rained down upon the man behind the silver mask. pushing himself away from the woman he ordered her away for while his heart remained melted, the lightning scorched his flesh. This may have been the moment that the man had trained his life for. This was battle was the test of all his sword and magic skills and the air flashed and burned in the struggle between the two titans. The dragon admitted it had come with the pirates and that it had blown the pirate's ships to the shore and for it that the pirates had stolen the small and pretty woman. The dragon revealed that it had seen the hideous faced man when he was a child living in the muck on the sea floor and it goaded him that it would tear the mask from his face and reveal his repulsive countenance to the woman. Remembering how other humans had reacted to his face the man knew fear for the first time in his life and to the dragon's regret, the man began to battle all the harder.
