Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: We Kill Its Soul

They stood outside the dragon's lair.

Staring at the massive entrance carved from black bone.

Eight of them left. Out of twenty.

More than half dead. And the worst was still ahead.

"We can't keep doing this," Masha said. Voice quiet but firm. "Frontal assault failed. We need a new strategy."

"What do you suggest?" Dante asked.

Masha looked at the lair. Then at him.

"The dragon is tied to this island. To the bones. To its heart."

"If we destroy the heart, we destroy the dragon."

Jin frowned. "Where's the heart?"

"Below," Kael said. He'd been studying the lair structure. "I saw it when we fought inside. There's a chamber beneath the main cavern. Veins of energy running down through the floor."

"The dragon's heart must be there."

Lana nodded slowly. "But how do we reach it? The dragon will kill anyone who tries to go down there."

"That's the problem," Masha said. "We can't fight the dragon and destroy the heart at the same time."

She paused. Let that sink in.
