The Sapphire Of Destruction

"The world will end, "said a woman."Go! Go my lava army and don't return until the world is finished!" said the monstrous voice of Flamebreath, the huge, dangerous and extremely powerful lava Titan.

"The Sapphire of Destruction is in my hands!" he growled. Just then, I suddenly got up, panting and sweating profusely.

"Oh! so it was a dream!" I sighed ."But what if it is true?" I hissed to myself. I got from my bed and got fresh and had breakfast. Just then, I heard the doorbell ring. I opened the door and saw four of my best friends, Yug, Sarvika, Teisha, and Yashovardhan.

"What's up, guys?"I asked them. "Why you all look so down?"I asked them trying to cheer them up. "Come on! I have made cold Coffee!" I said to them. All came in the house and then I shut the door close. "So what happened can anyone tell me ?" I asked.

" The -um-The thing happened of which - w-we - were afraid of." Yug stammered.

"What we were afraid of ?" I asked sternly.

"Flamebreath has got the sapphire of Destruction," said Yashovardhan quickly.

" What - I - I mean - how -how ?" I yelled.

"Because he stole, he snatched from the guardians of the sapphire," Teisha explained.

"And Manan, you should not yell for your reputation will go down," Sarvika said.

"You have no right to speak about my reputation, "I warned Sarvika.

"Is your reputation more than the safety of the world?" Sarvika confirmed. "Friends! Let's move . We will do all by ourselves. Because this guy' s reputation is more than the safety of the world." Sarvika shouted.

"Not at all! Enough is Enough !" I shrieked. Everyone went quiet.

"My respect is nature and whenever I get some respect, I just give it to nature and that to from heart. Even the most

foolish person will have at least some respect. So learn to give people respect."I said.

"Ok, sorry!" Sarvika apologized.

"Now let's don't waste time or else -" Yashovardhan advised.

"Or else what ?" I said."We are not afraid of that ordinary, plain, black gorilla. Aren't we? "I snarled. "Tell the whole world that there is no need to worry !" I said as I walked towards the door to open it. "We will fight Flamebreath and his lava army. Let him also know that some guests are arriving !" I hissed.

"Wait guys !" Yug stopped us.

"What happened Yug ?" Teisha interrogated.

" Ssshh! Stop talking and listen quietly !" Yug exclaimed.

We heard thumping and banging of the earth. Just then, all of a sudden, we saw Flamebreath's lava army marching forward.

"There's no time! Everyone, take out the lightning swords!" Sarvika commanded.

We took out the lightning swords and when the army came near us, we attacked them and the war started. When I was fighting with one of the lava soldiers, another came behind me and drew his axe into my stomach. I banged the hilt of my sword on his head. I killed the one with whom I was fighting and removed the axe from my stomach and smashed it on the other' s head. Just then, some powerful soldiers made a circle around and pounced on me. I was covered and was suffocating. I inserted the sword in the earth and blasted lightning in the ground and a minor earthquake was created due to which the soldiers went flying and were finished. When I stood up, I was truly shocked! I saw that Yashovardhan, Teisha, Sarvika and Yug were missing!

"Friends ! Where are you all! Can anyone here me ?" I shrieked. Suddenly, I heard a voice behind and turned to see that there was a hologram of Flamebreath.

" Listen, you little boy! I have kidnapped your friends! If you want your friends safe then come here to my kingdom! I am the strongest and the bravest." Flamebreath said in his usual, high, deep, heavy tone.

"I have two reasons that you are not brave !" I said to him."First off, you are talking to me on the hologram call instead of talking with me face to face and second, you are telling me to come into your kingdom !" I said.

"Let us see who is brave." He replied. I giggled while smirking. "How to reach your kingdom ?" I said calmly.

"You don't have to do anything! I will do it on my own." He said.

"Pardon ?" I asked, confused.

"Just wait and watch !" He snarled and snapped his fingers and I was suddenly on the crater of a huge, active volcano. I looked around and saw my friends crying for help.

"Friends !" I gasped.

"So you arrived !" Flamebreath greeted.

"Manan go away! You are much important than us, don't worry about us !" Yashovardhan said.

"I am not going anywhere till I kill this bad-ass and we all will go home together or die together," I said.

"Dreams are good but too many dreams are no good. No one avoids me." Flamebreath spat.

"That cannot happen." I gasped confidently. "See your friends the last time !" Flamebreath said.

"No! Please don't do anything to my friends !" I requested him.

"No, no, no! I am not going to kill your friends !" Flamebreath said. "But instead I will kill you! "He continued.

I saw 'the sapphire of destruction on the chest of Flamebreath with a holder of it. He attacked me and I too attacked . I tried to attack his head but failed. He kicked me. I fell down and he attacked again. I defended myself by dodging his attack. I attacked the holder of the sapphire and the holder broke and the sapphire was pressed in Flamebreath' s body. The sapphire blasted and thus, Flamebreath also blasted and died. But, due to the force of the explosion , I fell in the hot lava.

"Manan !" my friends screamed. They released themselves and an towards the crater and checked. I was hanging by the crater. Just then, I noticed that the volcano was about to erupt.

" All of you go away from here, you all are much important than my life, "I shouted.

"You are our bestest friend. How can we leave you?" Yashovardhan said.

"And remember you only said that we will go home together or die together ?" Sarvika reminded me.

"And take you all safely whatever it takes !" Teisha said."

"This shows that you are a true friend. Now hold my hand and climb up stupid ."Yug said.

I held Yug' s hand and climbed up. We ran down the volcano and the volcano erupted . We were safe and exited Flamebreath 's kingdom happily and relaxed after the long, tiring day.
