Chapter 27: XXVII. Fight Between Greater Dragons
Magarai was ready to kill the greenish dragon, she had no mercy when Captain Kuketzi had abandoned her daughter to her fate without trying to rescue her in the supposed mission that the oceanic dragon believed, much less would she have mercy on the dragon that kidnapped her daughter, she would make sure that the dragon's death was slow and as painful as possible as long as her soul always remembered the pain she felt in life for messing with the wrong daughter. Rophttys walked away in fear feeling desperation for her life, her movements became clumsy and as much as she wanted to run, her body did not respond as she wanted, Alexandra was thinking about what she should do, she was still upset with the skeleton dragon, but a part of the human felt that the dragon did not deserve the death that her mother was willing to give to the female of the skeletal race. Before the human girl could say something to appeal to reason, a gas-covered boomerang and what looked like a strange fire crossed Magarai's path causing her to jump back to avoid it. That attack was as unexpected to the ocean dragon as it was to the others present.
"If you try to harm a scale of her, I promise I will kill you and feed my race with your corpse" he appeared with an expression of rage just like Magarai had.
Alexandra wanted to smile to see the dragon again, but thanks to the tension in the environment and judging by the look that the blue dragon possessed, she knew that things were going to get much worse if this continued. She hesitantly approaches her mother to reassure her and convince her to both go to a secret shelter or something like that in the hope of avoiding a tragic death.
"Mom better let's go, there's no need to fight" Alexandra tries to take the dragon's hand and lead her away, but Magarai ignores her daughter.
"If I leave without killing that kidnapper, I will be leaving a message to anyone that she can harm my family without any consequence. I refuse to do so, anyone who takes care of my life or that of my daughter is calling for death in her destination." the oceanic dragon clarifies wielding her sword preparing to fight.
The blue dragon responds to this action by sticking her back out of her and holding a boomerang in her other hand.
"You are still in time to go in peace with your daughter Magarai. No one has to know that this happened and everything will continue as usual" the skeleton dragon proposed that idea because she did not want to fight.
The oceanic dragon let out a laugh believing that the reason for such request was due to a fear of facing her, I never imagine that a dragon as strong and skilled as Ssaull would start to flee to conflicts like that, living as an outcast if that affected to his courage and pride as a dragon and as a warrior. Despite the attitude of the oceanic dragon, he remained calm to ensure that things ended peacefully, although he recognized that she was stronger than him in combat, the dragon always demonstrated more ingenuity than her overcoming force of the dragon with wit, but he did not want to fight with Magarai because if he did it near the greenish dragon, he was worried that she would get hurt and he also did not want to create a conflict with Alexandra, even so, if Magarai wanted to continue the fight, the dragon he would certainly respond to her aggression. Rophtty was watching the situation, both warriors had their eyes fixed on the other, there was a small opportunity for her to escape while she let both dragons kill each other, the greenish dragon did not want to die and if she was to escape, she only had to wait for one. opportunity to escape safely. The blue dragon looks at Rophtty for a second to make sure she was okay, that was what Magarai needed to start her fight against him, she spat a large blast of boiling water against the dragon to wound him with her elemental strength, the blue dragon reacts by putting a shield between him and the stream of water, that dragon already knew those types of movements that his former partner used to gain advantages against his enemies, studying the behaviors and keeping in his memory each movement of his former companions Greater Dragons put He gave Ssaull an advantage against Magarai, but he still knew that if she managed to catch him for a few seconds, he would be in a terrible situation.
Alexandra sees how Rophttys with his tail tries to alter Ssaull's balance, which he reacts by jumping to avoid this, this action gave Magarai another attempt to attack him with his blast of water which Ssaull has to keep his shield in front of him, Magarai quickly runs against the dragon to cut it with her sword. Alexandra did not understand why Rophttys would try to harm the dragon that was defending her, she knew that the female dragon hated her species, only that she did not think that hatred caused her to be able to try to affect her saviors.
"Alexandra quick she doesn't run away, I'll take care of Ssaull!" yelled the oceanic dragon as she tried to catch one of Ssaull's legs with her tail, Magarai was going to take advantage of the fact that his shield took away vision to the lower part of her limbs.
Rophttys upon hearing that did not doubt it anymore and uses her wings that she had in her arms to fly away, she knew that this could be dangerous for night hunters and because she knew that Magarai could shoot down anyone who was in the sky, even if the mother The human was distracted by the blue dragon, Magarai just needed a good shot to bring her down. Only that the greenish dragon did not want to risk being captured by the human by the strange chain of her hand, she and she knew how loyal the human girl was to her dragon mother of hers. The blue dragon throws his boomerang at the dragon to which she breaks it with her tail easily and he takes flight to protect the greenish dragon. Only it seemed that the green-colored dragon didn't seem to want him near her.
"They will not escape" Magarai jumps with all his strength to get to where they catch both Ssaull and Rophttys falling all three to the ground, he is injured in the fall feeling twice the pain than for others normally it would be.
"Finish the two of you fucking killing yourself!" Rophttys screamed in fear, kicking Ssaull's face away from her.
"Why do you have to be like this Rophttys?" He questions removing the dragon's paw from his face, that he noticed how Magarai pointed his sword at the greenish dragon, and judging by how she was holding it, he deduced that Magarai planned to throw the sword like a javelin to kill or seriously injure Rophttys which he did not plan to allow by moving to knock the ocean dragon to the ground.
While the two dragons continued fighting Alexandra continued to watch the scene, she did not know what to do, logic and reason told the human to help her mother because they are technically the enemy and the human as a good warrior and daughter should fight against them in favor of their mother. However, Alexandra didn't want to hurt Ssaull because she was friends with her and she couldn't raise her sword against him after how much that dragon helped the human when she needed help the most. Alexandra's thoughts are interrupted by a scream, her eyes like Rophttys's were directed to the point where the scream occurred, it turned out that Magarai had pierced Ssaull's abdominal area with her sword. The dragon was not far behind, he had also managed to pierce the dragon's shoulder with his sword, making her wince in pain, but the difference in pain tolerance was enormous between them and he felt things ten or fifteen times more with that wound.
"Damn daughter of your mother lizard," he says hitting Magarai's face, on the fifth blow she catches the fist biting him, this hurt her teeth, but this way it would prevent that cheeky dragon from continuing to hit her face.
"Mother!" screams Alexandra worried.
"Ssaully!" Rophttys yelled at the sight of the wounded dragon.
"I'm sorry Alexandra, but this is the last straw," the skeleton dragon said painfully. "Sxhiesr Ruxys Alfiess"
Alexandra and Magarai recognized the words of that spell, no doubt now Ssaull would fight to kill using a technique quite deadly for ocean dragons.
Without many ideas and having to act faster, he channeled enough mana to attack with the spell. Alexandra using her chain surrounds both dragons to immobilize them and the chain absorbs the mana of both dragons so that neither cast spells. The human-made sure that the relic made sure to tie the two dragons well so that they did not move a single muscle.
"What fangs ?!" cried both dragons when they saw how now they had been tied by a white chain.
"Alexandra, daughter!" she looks from her to the girl "What is this? Why did you tie me up with this worthless piece of manure?" questioned the dragon.
"Rophttys Stop there now!"
Alexandra demanded pointing a finger at the ground as an order for the dragon to stay in place, the dragon obeyed the human, in the same way, she did not want to move away either, not after hearing the terrible scream of he.
"Rissh Sulliz" by reciting the spell the chain manifested an effect on both dragons, they had never heard such a spell and had no idea what this spell was going to do to them.
Alexandra frees both dragons and when Magarai wanted to continue hitting Ssaull her body began to feel like jelly, losing mobility and control of her limbs. The blue dragon laughed and when he wanted to flick his tail to take the damage from a long time ago, the dragon began to see himself in the same condition as the oceanic dragon.
"How bad is your injury Ssaull?" Alexandra asked running to help the dragon.
"Wait, Alexandra. What are you doing?" she tries to coordinate her movements without success. "What did you do to my daughter's mind?" Magarai glares at Ssaull, who just rolls her eyes, unable to believe the nonsense the white dragon blurted out.
"I don't want to sound rude, but I think she hit me in a damn organ," the dragon painfully mentions to the human girl, who begins to tend to his wound as best she can, only she wouldn't accomplish much without the help of a healing spell.
Rophttys carefully approaches the badly wounded dragon without knowing what to say and with a look that reflected anguish and guilt, he smiles with difficulty when he sees her. Magarai again demanded explanations from either her daughter or Ssaull and she looked more and more upset. The human knew that what she did was wrong, in a sense, it meant betrayal of the only dragon who cared for, guided, and trained her, the one who believed and trusted in the value of the human, unlike other dragons. Ssaull signals for the human to go talk to her mother before that bloodthirsty dragon starts to get strange ideas.
Alexandra turns to see her mother who only looked annoyed, she was sitting on a log waiting for her daughter to clarify the confusion of that dragon, the human gulped some nervous saliva from having one of her 'talks' with her. She remembered how her mother punished her and exercised her authority in a terrifying way when the human did something wrong or took an attitude that the dragon did not agree with or considered as a negative attitude. The human approaches her mother by sitting in front of her to be able to speak face to face and thus explain many things and talk about what they needed to talk about. He takes out of his vest a bottle which he uses to treat his abdominal wound, he gasped with difficulty because of the pain that the dragon felt, but he sighs calmly knowing that now his wound would heal thanks to the contents of his bottle.
"Hey, I just want to say ... thank you for saving me," he says sitting down next to the dragon.
"Don't worry, you know I'm there for you. Even if you don't want my help or see my face, I will never break my oaths and promises with you" he replies trying to place his hand on top of her hand, but she pushes him away. depresses the dragon.
"I'm sorry, I'm still upset with you. It's still too early to forgive you" after saying that Ssaull released a tear feeling a lot of pain for it, it hurt more than you hurt them than a sword or arrow could do ", I'm sorry if I make you feel bad Ssaully, but I still need time to think about all this "she clarifies. "It is the first time that I see that a dragon has a human as her daughter and that she loves her as her mother" she clarifies pointing to Alexandra and Magarai.
"It's weird I know, I couldn't believe it when I found out. Even so, I think it's nice to see how the dragon cares about the human, believe it or not, Magarai loves Alexandra very much as her daughter and the reason why we were fighting it was because she would not let anyone hurt Alexandra "explains he looking at the human and the dragon.
Alexandra, the first thing she did was put the relic in front of her mother pointing out that this object was a relic of Mother Desthy, the sacred and very important relic of the oceanic dragons. He quickly implored his mother's apologies for not telling her earlier, but the reason for that was that the relic itself asked her not to do so and to hide it because the voice that lay within the chain wanted to help Alexandra on her way to becoming a Greater Dragon. She also explained that the reason for her to defend Ssaull from her was that he had saved her life, Magarai did not understand what her daughter meant by that.
How could the most disgusting dragon of all have helped Alexandra? In that, he remembers that when Ssaull met her in Morkhex, he wondered a lot how the blue dragon knew his daughter if what Magarai tried to do the most was to make sure that he never got close to her, even so, somehow he managed to meet her. Alexandra and expressed concern for her, which made the dragon mother uncomfortable. The human girl told her mother that if it had not been for Ssaull, she would not have managed to return home, and more importantly, she would be trapped in Rulliam and would be the prey of a hunted or some wild beast, it was at that moment that the human begins to break down in tears when she begins to tell the truth behind her promotion and journey home. Magarai opened her eyes when she learned the truth, how much her daughter suffered and how bad even she must feel to remember how she was betrayed and abandoned by those who were supposed to be her guildmates. The dragon embraces her daughter for the first time with everything and a tail to comfort her and help her get rid of all the pain that she felt inside her, Magarai still had many things to process as the relic of her people, but the maternal instinct demanded that she would tend to her daughter first and then everything else would come.
