How to Kill a Dragon The Dragon swooped in a menacing arc in the sky, flying up until it was nothing more than a tiny black dot before diving down onto the lonely Hydromancer who was out walking the hills. She sighed in exacerbation as it wasn’t her intention to disturb a dragon in its slumber. if the bartender in the previous town had informed her that there was such a menacing creature hiding up here then she would have elected to walk North instead of East. However, this was all wishful thinking as right now she had a very upset dragon to contend with. The Dragon continued its descent, diving towards the floor only to pull up at the last minute and unleashing a torrent of flame he flew overhead. The fire razed the very ground that it touched, but before it could reach the Hydromancer, she condensed the moisture in the air above her and froze it into a canopy of ice. The Ice sizzled and the Hydromancer could feel it melt as the flames licked at it and danced overhead. She knew that this was one powerful beast she was up against. She smiled. Clouds drew in around them, making the air damp. The Dragon whirled in the air, the beating of his wings sending small gusts of wind bellowing over the hilltop. The Hydromancer spun on the spot, collapsing the Ice structure into water and consolidating any moisture into a small ball in her hands. She turned to face the Dragon as a continuous stream of flame erupted from the dragons gaping maw. She threw the ball of water into the jet of flame. It exploded on contact spreading an ever expanding frozen mist across the hilltop. The heat of the flame was soaked up by the cold mist as it spread. Ceasing it’s torrid yell, the Dragon began to beat his wings harder in an attempt to clear the fog that had now encompassed them. His attempts were futile as this was her fog. Her will was emitted over the tiny droplets of water that surrounded them. Now it was her battlefield. Hidden in the mist, the Hydromancer cast her arms out, as if conducting the mist. She caused it to whirl about the dragon and condense. From the Dragon’s perspective he would not have noticed anything different bad a thickening of the whiteness around him. She continued condensing the water in the mist, drawing on the moisture in the clouds. She channelled it into a wide sphere of water around the Dragon. The beating of his wings slowed and the weather cleared as is every drop of water was now pumped into her blue sphere suspended in the air. The Dragon panicked and tried to struggle free. He opened his mouth to let loose a blast of fire but instead swallowed a lungful of water. The Hydromancer wondered how long it would take a dragon to drown before concluding that it would be too long. She slowly closed one hand, forcing the floating orb to contract, applying pressure to its fleshy dragon centre. The orb continued to slowly contract. As it did the dragon thrashed around less. The pressure was beginning to take its toll on the dragon as his body contorted painfully within the blue ball of death. He looked down at the small lonely woman on the hilltop with her hands out reached, seemingly begging her to spare his life. With a small, dull, pop the blue of the watery sphere turned a kind of claret as the open orifices of the dragon yielded to the pressure, rending him from the inside out. The Hydromancer released her hold on the water, causing various bit of dragon offal and red blood rain to pour from the sky and trickle down the hillside. The Hydromancer decided to continue walking East. It was an interesting direction.
