On the Wings of the Past Ch.1.5 - Angels of Death (Long Drabble)

[r7]

 

On The Wings Of The Past

Enough was enough. Kurt thought as he stood in his saddle, observing the battle from above. Both Pause and Guude agreed on this. So did the riders and dragons - me and Doc included. He continued, the screams of the men below almost drowned out by the beating and shuddering of Doc’s wings. Almost. That’s why we’re doing this.

Yes, it is.Doc said, hearing what Kurt had ‘said’ even though he hadn’t been actively broadcasting it telepathically - not normally something that could happen, even between dragons with their complete telepathic abilities, but the bond between rider and dragon allowed it. By doing this - by these killings - we are saving many, many more, and easing the suffering that this war is and would bring to even more beyond those that we save. Let that ease your mind.

But the riders, w-we were never meant to be a military force! Kurt said, stammering slightly. Have you heard what they call us now? Angels of Death. Angels of Death, Doc!

Perhaps… Doc said, as Nebtho flew by, almost right beside them, dividing directly downward from above with a speed that Doc was shaken by the downdraft, both of the two roaring a terrify battle cry as they rejoined the fray. Perhaps that is what we are.

No! Kurt said forcefully. No, it’s not! That’s not what we stand for!

While that may be true, Doc started somberly. It is what we have become.

Suddenly, the screams of burning men sounded louder to Kurt’s ears.

A/n: Yup, On the Wings of the Past gets a second installment! There might even be more coming - though it won’t be from this time period, though if there are more chapters beyond that, revisiting this war is definitely on the table.
