Death of a dragon

         It jerked up on its hind legs, letting out all the pent-up rage.
The roar echoed throughout the mountains and plains. The flames cleared the very sky of clouds. The shock wave toppled everything. It was like a volcano spilling its irrational power. As a show of might, it spread its wings creating currents that ripped trees from the ground.

It stood there, roaring to the heavens like it was cursing the gods. Time stood still during those moments. Then, all went silent as it came crashing down, dead after such a demonstration of life.

As it hit the ground, everyone in the area knew that their nightmare was over. Most cheered, some worried. If something was strong enough to kill a dragon, how could they even survive what was coming.
