The Mighty Calculon

The Calculon is one of the fiercest wyverns in the land. It may not be very powerful but its speed is more than deadly enough. It attacks with unstoppable force if you provoke it and if you go unprepared, you might never make it back. I was warned of a Calculon that was tormenting a village and I went after it thinking it was going to be like the others I had fought. It turns out the previous wyverns were only babies compared to this one. It was double the size of the few I had fought before, around ten meters long. Its scales are sharp and azure. Its claws short but can slice through iron like it was a leaf. As i approached I could feel my legs shaking from the sight of it. Before I could turn around I could feel its horrible glare upon me. A shadow overcame me and it began its assault before I could pick up my sword. I had to deflect its attacks with my shield and could do nothing about it. Its attacks came at me at blazing speed, I could feel my body being pushed from side to side as sliced at my shield, the only thing keeping me from being a shredded dinner. As i was trapped on the floor I could feel its claws breaking through my shield, breaking through my life line. I had to get away somehow. As it smashed my shield i turned and pulled out my blade to take one slash at it before It could get me with its claws. As i turned i could see its tail lashing at me with full force. I managed to stab it but I still felt the full blow on me. Before I could realize what it was doing, I felt a heat upon me like never before. The Calculon blasted my legs, my armor felt like it had melted to my skin. As I screamed in pain it rushed towards me, with its claws at the ready. I could do nothing but swing my sword. I slashed it arm as it missed its attack and it roared in anger. Fire was oozing out of its jaw. I could feel its teeth coming towards me. Luckily I managed to get my blade into its mouth. It let out a tremendous, angry roar and as I prepared to take the final blow it backed away from me. It looked at me as if I was worthless, as if I was not worth the struggle it had to go through. It edged away from me and with one, piercing glare flew off. I could not believe the horrible battle I had to go through, no the horrible defeat I was faced with. I layed there, my armor shredded, my shield useless, my sword gone, my legs burned to a crisp and with my pride shattered.

The Immortal

For many decades has the Tas been terrorizing this kingdom. Its appearance changes every time it is seen and some even say that it has been reborn once, as it appeared much bigger and more savage than before. The Tas is a dragon with two heads, one that breathes fire and another which blasts lightning. It is the size of a castle wall and has claws that seem to have the same powers as its heads. It is said that its right claw can turn steel red, while its fire breath can melt it on the spot. The left claw has the power of a lightning bolt and can paralyze you just from a touch while its breath has the power of an entire lightning storm. The lightning itself can paralyze you and melt any kind of metal. By being hit with it you risk having your armor melt with your skin. The Tas always follows the lightning blast with a thunderous roar, and if the lightning did not paralyze you, the roar will force you onto your knees. When it expands its wings it must be at least 50 meters wide and with a flap of them it can blow away even a siege cannon. Upon the dragon's body you can see scars from past battles, scars that many of the most seasoned of warriors can tell you how they placed it onto this horrible creature. Its scales are like plates of violet rocks and its flesh has never been seen by those who survive.
I have fought it only once before and managed to escape it with half of my armor shattered and my right arm was numb from the elbow down. I could barely carry my sword as I managed to run out of the cave. It burned my back and to this day I have the scar of that last final blast. Very soon I will fight it once more, for the last time.
