The Battle of Conborine

Dragon Hunters is approaching its end, starting with this battle in the warehouse district of Conborine!

“Attention on deck!”

The Hawkkur Combat Team, assembled in one of the empty warehouses, snapped to attention as Lord DragonHawk Elias Hawkes strided into the room, followed by Commander Obrie Lorcan and the command staff, all wearing their battle armor. Although they were standing at attention, the Hawkkur troops could not help but notice that Lord Hawkes was carrying the Dragon Helm under his arm! Those close to the front could the hilt of the Dragon Sword sticking up above its scabbard strapped to his back.

Ever since their arrival and the rescue of Lady Tolen, there had been rumors of a Black Dragon – a Rahhol DragonHawk – somewhere on Conborine. The rumors had been reinforced by the capture of the Dragon Afflicted Reska Dragon Hunters during the assault on the Guilded Cage. More Reska Dragon Hunterhad been captured or killed tonight when the alert company responded to Lord Bane’s emergency beacon.

And now, the Lord DragonHawk was here with the Dragon Helm and the Dragon Sword to lead them into battle!

The only sound in the room was the whine of hydraulics as a cargo handler lifted Lord Hawkes so that all of the assembled Hawkkurs could see him.

“It has been fifteen thousand seasons since Drakkon battled Rahhol!” Elias Hawkes said, his voice loud and strong, echoing off the warehouse walls. “Since their defeat, the Rahhol have remained hidden among our eternal enemy, the Reska. The StarHawke Tycho has always known they were out there. As have all the generations of StarHawke Tychos before him. We have all known, the generations of StarHawkes and loyal Hawkkur Warriors that a day would come, when the time of the Great Dragon would grow near. That one day the Rahhol would come out of hiding and the battle between Drakkon and Rahhol would be rejoioned!”

“That battle started at the Diplomatic Dock at Gaanard!” Elias declared. “It continues here on Conborine!”

“Drakkon!” The Hawkkurs yelled in response, their combined voices rattling the walls of the warehouse. Elias grinned and turned to Commander Lorcan.

“You have your orders, Commander!” He said, as Procyon’s battle cry filled the warehouse with Dragon Magic. “Let’s get moving!”
