The Capture Part 2

Carnage opened his eyes and looked around, slightly groggy after being knocked out. He could feel chains bound to him tightly and he struggled, wanting to get away from this ghastly clan. He wanted to yell, but his maw is stuffed with a cloth, preventing him from saying anything.

“Take the prisoner here.” commanded a voice somewhere in a tunnel. He looked at the tunnel in pure fear, shaking like a leaf. Two Imperials walked towards him and picked him up, carrying him towards the voice.

Many eyes stared at him as he was carried towards two dragons and thrown in front of them. One of the dragons, a strange looking Ridgeback, looked at him with disdain.

“Shame that you were caught here, prisoner,” the Ridgeback sneered. “Put the prisoner in shackles and let him roam freely within the cult.”

Carnage looked at the Ridgeback with suspicion as he was dragged away with muffled screaming in his wake to be bound in chains.


The Ridgeback and the Imperial walked away into another tunnel, with the Imperial looking slightly confused.

“Scourge, why did you let our prisoner roam free?” the Imperial asked out of confusion.

The Ridgeback laughed.

“I have plans for our prisoner, Daeva”

The Capture

A Ridgeback looked at the Wyrmwound as sat near the edge, eating some scraps he had scavenged earlier. As he continued eating, he was worried. His supplies were running dangerously low, he had to raid a clan or a dragon to replenish them. Keeping the remaining scraps, he turned back and continued travelling around the Wyrmwound.

As he continued finding a clan to raid, he saw several dragons walking towards a tunnel in the distance. Target spotted. He smiled to himself, glad that he had something to raid. He stalked them, not wanting to be spotted by them.

As they walked into the tunnel with two guards letting them in, Carnage ambushed them. Ramming into one of the guards, he quickly ran into the tunnel as fast as can to find anything that he can take, with the guards chasing him from behind.

Carnage ran into a ginormous cavern and saw a pile full of food in the distance. Diving into the pile of food, he grabbed as much as he can, even stuffing some into his maw.

When he turned around for his escape, one of the guards, a guardian slightly smaller than him appeared behind him and glared at him, with his sword pointing at his neck.

“Come with me peacefully, or perish.” the guardian threatened him.

He was cornered. With the guardian and the other guard close to him and some of the members of the clan surrounding him, he could not escape.

In desperation, he spat out the food he had stuffed in his mouth at the clan members and ran, though it had only bought him little time. While he was running, he could feel something strike his back.

Glancing back, one of the guards he saw was throwing chains at him, with one of them hitting his right leg while he ran.

He saw the light at the end of the tunnel and was about to dash for the exit when he felt something tugging at his leg. Looking at it, he saw chains wrapped around it and he desperately clawed at it, trying to get it off. He fell and clawed at the ground while the guard pulled him back towards the tunnel.

The last thing he remembered is the angry face of the guardian before he knocked him out with the back of his sword.
