He knew if he tried to help the dragon, he would draw the monster’s attention, and that would mean death.  He also knew if the dragon lost, he was most likely the next target.  But, one thing he was certain of; if he attacked the grimalkin, he was next, if he did nothing, the dragon was doomed.
    He considered turning and running again but immediately felt shame for the second time.  Anger flared in him so strong that he shook.  Nothing else mattered now.  All he could see was the deadly battle being waged in front of him.  All concern for his own life evaporated and was instantly replaced with fury.  He accepted that he was going to die, and now he was going to do it fighting.  Kade felt his heart pound hard as adrenalin raged through his system.
                  The dragon tried several times to leap back and draw on its dragon’s breath only to have the grimalkin close the distance rapidly.  The dragon tried over and over to get distance to use its fire, but the grimalkin always charged in, giving the dragon no chance to use its natural weapon.  They were tangled once more in their deadly embrace.  The dragon was taking injuries quickly.  It staggered and barely dodged a killing snap of the grimalkin’s beak.  The creature was going for the dragon’s neck with almost every lunge now.  Again, it launched, and this time, it nicked the dragon, drawing a small amount of blood.  If not for its lightning quick reflexes, the dragon would already be dead.  Time was running out.
                  That last attack was too close.  This was all Kade could stand.  His anger consumed him completely. 
    How dare this thing attack such a magnificent creature that I had just healed! Kade thought as he felt his pulse racing.  As valiantly as the dragon fought, it was going to die, and that would just not do.  The grimalkin had the dragon in its claws, trying savagely to get its hooked-beak into the dragon’s throat.  Seeing this was the very last thing Kade needed to launch into action. 
    “Not today!” he screamed as he charged forward “NOT TODAY!” 
    Kade opened himself up to the Divine Power and its full might, calling on the seething, blue fire and hurled it with all his anger.  His words may not have caused the creature to hesitate, but when the Divine Fire exploded on the beast's hide, he knew he had its attention.  Fear tried to force its way back into his heart.  The grimalkin looked directly at him and paused, but…only for a moment.  Kade felt fury more intense than ever as he gritted his teeth so hard in such fierce determination that he could have bit through brick.  His hands balled into fists so tightly that he was shaking.  He curled his lip in a snarl and hissed, “You intend on dismissing me that easily?  Then ignore this!” Kade yelled as he lit the cat up with another blast of the blue fire.  The flames were getting larger with each calling, but Kade did not notice.  Unknown to him, his Divine gift had come alive.  Kade’s gift of unlimited Divine Power had him pulsing with power.
                  The dragon took advantage of the distraction and sank its teeth deeply into the grimalkin’s flesh, tearing out a large chunk.  The creature roared and attempted to renew its attack.  Kade unleashed another Fire Calling just as the cat-like creature tried for a killing blow.  Fear of watching the dragon die, along with rage at this beast, brought on a desire to destroy another living creature stronger than Kade had ever felt in his life.  He willed death into every Fire Calling he threw, and each time it was just enough to throw the beast off before it found its mark. 
                  Kade continued to yell as he threw blue fire over and over, doing everything he could to draw its attention.  He had no idea what he was going to do if it turned on him, but right then, he did not care.  He only knew he absolutely must save the
