Elder Blood Witcher 379 End Of The First Task.

Ciri "HYAAA!" she shouts as she brings the sword down at an angle, hoping to bring home a trophy for Geralt.

What reaches the audience's ears isn't the clank of the sword bouncing off of the dragons scales, nor the grinding sound of it barely penetrating. No, the sound that reaches their ears is only the whipping of the wind, as when the sword reaches the dragon's neck some sort of vibration shockwave extends from the sword, a.s.sisting in it's cutting power and allowing her to easily cleave it's head off, causing the dragon to immediately slump to the floor, it's large head dropping to the floor with a *THUMP*.

...

...

Silence, so deep that you could even hear a pin drop. That is, until the audience see's Ciri grabbing

the golden egg before getting a hold of one of the horns of the dragons severed head and start dragging it towards the exit with a wide smile on her face.

LUDO "OHHHHHHHHHH! SHE'S DONE IT! SHE CUT IT'S HEAD OFF WITH EASE I DID NOT THINK POSSIBLE! WHAT IS THAT SWORD???? IS IT AN ARTIFACT FROM MERLIN HIMSELF!?!?!!?" He shouts as loud as he can, simply not believing the events that'd just happened before his eyes.

Reima laughs uproariously as he sees Ciri trying to bring the head with her, thinking that'd he'd badly influenced her already. He feels Snuffles patting him with her little paw making him realise it's time to visit her.

Reima quickly makes his way down to Madam Pomfrey's tent, just in time for Ciri to exit the curtains with the dragon's head in toe.

Ciri "Can you store this before they try and take it? I wanna give it to Geralt as a gift." she says excitedly.

Reima "I think you're forgetting something."

...

Ciri scoffs, "Fine." she says, handing him back the Drake Sword.

Reima "Behave yourself and continue learning and you'll receive a sword better than this one" he says with a grin, causing Ciri to start daydreaming. He waves his hand over the dragons head causing it to disappear, just as the other champions walk towards Ciri to congratulate her.

Harry "From the cheers outside I'd say you did great" he says, nodding at Reima who's standing to the side with his arms crossed, the head of a rabbit glancing at everyone with it's red eyes from within his grip.

Ciri has a smug grin, "You can call me Dragon Slayer Ciri now." she says semi-haughtily.

Harry "Same here, my dragon didn't even last one blow" he boasts c.o.c.kily towards her, causing Hermione to raise a brow at his weird shift in personality.

Ciri "I may have taken two hits but I bet you didn't cut it's head off, huh?" she adds.

Hearing this Fleur and Krum can only feel bad for themselves, if this was their compet.i.tion then they were screwed.

Harry "Yeah but I bet you only did it with help from Reima" he points at said person.

Ciri "You take that back!" she says, not acknowledging she had in-fact only killed the dragon with one of Reima's weapons.

Harry "Never!-" he says before bring dragged into a headlock by Ciri.

Hermione glances at Reima, "Am I missing something?" she asks, confused at this.

He shrugs, "Close contact with someone daily will do one of two things, improve the relationship or worsen it... I could tell he had been conflicted with how to act around her and so I... Locked them in a room overnight..."

Hermione has a look of realisation, "So that's where he was!"

Reima shrugs, "The next morning when I went inside I saw the destroyed remains of most of my beloved board games along with these two surrounded by a pile of snacks, sleeping on opposite sofa's... Come to think of it, I still haven't gotten back at them for that..." he says with smile on his face, causing the wrestling duo to grimace.

He leans in close to Hermione causing her to back away slightly, "Don't worry though, a little birdy told me Harry's still interested in you." he says, causing her to blush profusely.

Eventually Ludo comes into the tent and tells everyone it's time for scores to be given. "Would you all follow me? We will be revealing the scores for each of you, though I feel as it's obvious who's a...head, in the compet.i.tion" he says, laughing his a.s.s off under the confused looks of the other champions, with only Ciri popping a small grin at his pun.

The champions at led into the same rocky arena that they had each fought their dragons in while Ludo quickly makes his way back up to the judges panel. They all stare up at Dumbledore, Madam Maxime, Karkaroff, Barty Crouch and a sweaty Ludo who had apparently sprinted back up to where he needed to be.

Ludo "Now, we the judges will be revealing our scores for each of the champions! The scores will be rounded up in the third task giving an advantage to those with the highest scores! Now, let's start with Fleur Delacour!" he shouts, pulling out a card with a number 8 on it.

Dumbledore holds up an 8, Karkaroff a 7, Barty Crouch an 8 and Madam Maxime a 9.

Ludo "A score of fourty in total for the Beauxbaton's champion!"

For Krum he receives 6's from everyone except Karkaroff who gives him a 10, causing the audience to shout and cheer at him.

Ludo "Thirty Four for the Durmstrang champion!" he shouts.

When it's Harry's score the audience heats up, he receives a 10 from Ludo and Croch while Dumblredore gives him an 8 along with Madam Maxime. Worst of all was Karkaroff who gives him a 7 for "Slaying such a majestic beast" ignoring the fact that his own champion had indirectly destroyed many eggs that happened to be fertile.

Ludo "That's Harry Potter in the lead with forty three points! Now, last but certainly not least, Ciri Rivia!"

The crowd roars when it's her turn, not only had she given them an incredible spectacle to watch but she had severed the heard of a dragon as if she was a hero from legend.

Dumbledore raises a reluctant 9 along with Maxime while Ludo and Barty give 10's, Karkaroff again sets off the audience when he gives a 7 for the same reason as last time.

Ludo "Despite some rather obvious bias" he glances at Karkaroff who glares back at him, "Ciri Rivia is in the lead with FORTY FIVE POINTS!" he shouts, causing the crowd to erupt into applause.

Ludo "This brings us to the end of the first task! I hope you all have enjoyed it as much as we in the judging seats have! Hopefully there are many more interesting events ahead though I've heard whispering of creating certain rules that'd restrict bringing weapons into the tasks via summoning spell." he finishes up as the audience claps.
