Hi Roxanna,
It's good to get your story told and then edit and re-edit as required to find the remaining errors.
I have not error corrected as it seems you already have many doing that for you.
It has been a pleasure to see your confidence grow and I have thoroughly enjoyed your story.
Blessings
Shirley

I never saw any errors, Rox, I was too busy reading anyway. What a battle that was, and well executed. I was worried for Jarle for a moment, actually, I've been worried since you posted the last chapter!!! Thankfully, Joshua was there. Now, it looks like mummy dragon is a tad upset! Best be getting out of her way for a while! lol. Well done, great part, my friend. :) Sandra xx

    Sorry I'm so late. I have been so tired, so have been going to bed instead of staying up reading and writing. Also had allergy headaches. Everyone in FL is dying from all the pollen! It's awful. Anyway, thanks so much for read and review. I do appreciate it. Rox

This is very imaginative writing and thanks for sharing it with us.

I've listed a few corrections below:
He had practice the vary same war cry many times as a boy. It was a Wahaland war cry. - He had practiced the very same...

Jarle pulled the spear from Lucas' body, and the man he thought dead, held his sword against his stomach. His actions were swift for a man so badly injured - delete the comma

She had raised the dragon, it had been hers since she was a small child. - period after 'dragon'

They slashed at man and horse with sword and ax, many without weapons, threw stones. - period after 'ax'

Too many battles had left them exhausted and empathetic. - I'm not sure 'empathetic' is quite the right word here.

The ground around him was soaked in blood as he dispatched each man who came against him, none laid a hand on him. - period after 'him'

He knew most had been forced into the life they now led, and he gave them a choice, die, or surrender. Many did, having lost the will to fight. Those that refused, quickly lost their lives. - I might have written ' Many did surrender, having..... It would just make the meaning a bit clearer.

The battlefield was littered with bodies, the snow blood stained. - hyphenate 'blood-stained'

Cheers
Judy

    Half the time I wouldn't know if people get back to me or not so please don't worry about it. Luckily I don't suffer from hay-fever - or anything else much so I'm very fortunate.

That was quite a battle. You could plainly see the difference between a well kept army and one that was
considered slaves and who were forced to fight. Jarle had been a big help with the army he recruited while in slavery. He was elated to be able to strike a earthshaking blow to Lucas. Good work. Very exciting and well told Roxanne. Nancy:)

No corrections my sweet except for one: please mark this for violence. I meant to tell you that last time. It was well-written, and as always full of action, gore, blood, love and intrigue. Good stuff. I think you're too hard on yourself. I'm just sayin...
All my best,
Sal :+)

So, the battle is over, Joshua has defeated Lucas' army, and they were aided by a slave army that were forced to fight, but they were malnourished and fearful of their heartless, cruel leader, who has been despatched by Both Jarle and Joshua, his huge beast has crashed and burned, and Dyster's mother is mortified by the death of her son, Ond-Natt. Well done Rox, good scribing, excellent, descriptive battle scenes, blessings, Roy
Typo : He had practised the (vary) same war cry... Very?
