Tales from the Moon: Dragon Legends

Chapter 29: XXIX. The Growth of a Resentment



After that night when the three dragons and the human had passed, many things had happened, thanks to the unexpected achievements that the human warrior had accumulated in her warrior history, she had advanced to warrior level four and she hoped that by the end of the year she was worthy of being a level five warrior. Many dragons from different guilds at first could not believe how the human had advanced so much and without the support of a guild, it was true that she had the help and influence of her mother, but it had not always been required thanks to Alexandra She was of advanced levels to perform missions alone and far from her home, there were not many complications for her to gain experience and honor among the kingdoms, but the most important thing is that since she did not have a guild she did not have to wait for the captains' bureaucracy, founders, sub captains, among others superior to her, Alexandra only had to report to the Shairum mission base, she could also count on the needs of the dragons for her journey to the top as a warrior, the farmers who needed care of their crops, some simple escort, protection, and simple missions; Alexandra complied with them to show how loyal and helpful she was to those who looked at her worse than less. Not all accepted her services, others just abused her with ridiculous and very demanding requests, however, very few truly appreciated Alexandra's support and loyalty and her help, grateful to have had her or reward her with something fair and kind for being the one. the only one who listened to their problems and wanted to help. Alexandra greatly appreciated the comments and thanks of the good dragons who welcomed her with open arms and tails.

Many dragons began to speak of her, for better or for worse, Alexandra's reputation was increasingly recognized as a great warrior, this angered some of the dragons of different guilds, among them were the dragons of the Songs of the Moon guild. Captain Raiyut was like a maddened beast breaking various objects in his bedroom irritated, the rapture and scandal him were such that even Captains Drigielix and Torx had to go to calm the dragon before he did more damage.

"Captain Raiyut, stop this chaos now!" Torx ordered how it would be, looking at his partner with a fit of intense anger that was far from calming.

"Captain Raiyut please try to calm down, the young warriors are having a bad view of you with this kind of behavior unworthy for a captain" clarifies Drigielix worried about the image that the superior captain of him was showing.

"Fuck them! I don't need a bunch of stupid young men to flatter me!" He claims to see the two companions annoyed at him. "Am I the only one in this damn guild who sees the problem?" Both captains exchanged glances with each other at this question from their winged companion.

The purple dragon feels slightly surprised to see that his partner did not understand what he was referring to, it seemed that he was the only one who was aware of the situation that his guild was going through because of not having done something against the human.

"I can't believe it, even Captain Kuketzi would know what I mean without explanation" Drigielix clenches a fist at the dragon's comment.

"If you could explain what's going on, that would be very kind of you my good Raiyut" Torx asks calmly which makes the reddish winged dragon sigh wearily.

"Listen, since that damn plague entered our guild and was promoted, many guilds blame us and hate us for allowing her to become a recognized and highly sought-after warrior recently," he clarifies, directing his gaze on the albino dragon. "It's all your damn fault for promoting her," he says pointing at him.

"You know I had no choice, she was my responsibility and her mother had declared death to all of us, I had to promote her to quench the wrath of the most terrifying dragon in the kingdoms" justifies the dragon.

"We were able to appeal with the other guilds and Greaters Dragons! She can't control anyone's will just because she's a feared dragon!" he in a fit throws a cup from his room with his tail, this only generated more tension in the environment and a dislike for the reddish captain.

"Raiyut, enough of your kid tantrums! Looks like your brain hasn't hatched yet!" the dragon yells authoritatively, keeping the kindness in his tone of voice.

"We must kill the human at all costs!" both captains are speechless at what the purple dragon had said.

"Do you know what you are saying stupid?" Drigielix grabs the collar of Raiyut's shirt annoyed "Remember what we lost when it was believed that Alexandra had died in the middle of a mission, now you propose that we openly murder her so that a terrible dragon wants our heads on a stake as happened to Kuketzi. You are a fucking idiot! " Captain Drigielix angrily pushes the dragon which responds by drawing a sword that was close to his grip, in response the white dragon draws his sword.

"Remember your place, lizard, you are still a captain inferior to us, so better recognize your place and do not disrespect me again," the dragon says showing his fierce fangs, but Captain Drigielix is not affected by the reactions and words of the purple dragon.

"Korsh Miks Arks" after reciting those words the two dragons feel like gravity becomes too heavy for them that they end up on the ground without the ability to move a single muscle. "If you are going to kill each other, I will not stop you as long as it is in honor of the guild and your kingdom, but I will not tolerate this behavior from both of you. I do not want to see you raise your swords for no valid reason, now stay away for a minus five hours! " the dragon finished his spell and allowed both dragons to go in different directions.

Drigielix had gone to a tavern to calm his mood and think more clearly with the help of some relaxing drinks, there was so much in his head and he needed a moment with himself to reflect on where misfortune had fallen, however, the answer was more The obvious one for him was admitting a human to his guild. He was cursing his luck for having to go to that ceremony with scaleless misfortune. Why did Okirius have to be in favor of the warrior? Not even Magarai had the influence necessary to intimidate a dragon as wise, strong, and with great prestige as that old man, and even so the dragon supported the entrance of the human to the best guild of Shairum and other kingdoms.

"Maldición, si que lo arruine" dice Drigielix sintiéndose desecho.

"Can I sit?" the dragon hears a female voice that is directed toward him and when he turns around he realizes that it was Alexandra, the same human who began to be an irritating annoyance in his existence. "Hello Captain Drigielix" the human greets taking off her helmet as a sign of respect for the dragon. The dragon notices how she had a worried look as she watched him. Did she care about him? "Can I sit?" she asks again.

"Get lost. Don't you perceive that you are not well received?" Drigielix turns his face to ignore her.

"I'll pay for his and mine", she mentions, sitting next to the dragon and asking for the same thing he drank.

"Give me three more drinks" the dragon in response decides to take advantage of the human's kindness to make her lose a lot of money on him. To the surprise of the dragon and the bartender it was that she had two coins with yellow gems, she could afford to pay for the drinks and more if she wanted.

"Let it roll, something tells me we could ask for more." she happily mentions.

"As ordered" the bartender collects the two coins and serves the glasses, leaving the bottle on the bar.

The human takes the first sip of the drink that her former partner drank and realizes the bitter surprise that the taste of that transparent liquid was not to her liking, but she conceals that she liked it so as not to look inexperienced with the drink in it. in front of his former partner. The dragon sighs unfortunately when he realizes what she was trying to do, he did not consider it necessary to force himself to take something that he did not like to impress others, even so, it was not something that the dragon cared about, in the end, it was the money from her and if she ended up vomiting out of her ears it was her problem.

They were both just drinking without saying a word, Drigielix enjoyed his drink and even more so for not having to pay for it, which made it more delicious, instead, Alexandra seemed that each sip she took, the more her stomach prepared to return the drink. content of the drink next to the stomach contents.

"I bet your guild wants my head on a pike." Alexandra begins the conversation by being direct with a subject that is quite obvious to both of them.

"You better than anyone should know since you are the topic of conversation for many and from what I have learned, you also took several contracts and missions from other warriors and guilds." He mentions recalling every human-related gossip and rumor. "It seems that you were very busy being a nuisance for many of us" the human takes the comment with humor, she wanted to maintain the best possible humor.

"I don't have a guild, my best friend died several months ago and I am often looked down upon by many. Normally, I have to try very hard to be a good warrior and not get killed in the process." she clarifies, finally finishing her first glass, it was a miracle for her not to have vomited.

"How long are you going to keep up with this?" says Drigielix.

Alexandra could understand what the white dragon was referring to, her face reflected a slight pain and melancholy, although there were certain tensions between them, if only he knew the truth, both she and any other dragon would know that that would be a loss Of time, a dragon is loyal to another dragon, it would have to be very rare cases like Magarai, Kaipo, and Ssaull to give him the benefit of the doubt or believe in it. In addition, Alexandra had taken the time to discover the deep friendship that Drigielix had with Kuketzi, it could be compared to her friendship with Kaipo, and the idea of losing someone so dear was not pleasant at all for anyone. Speaking ill of a dead person would only generate more hatred towards her person and she did not need that.

"Why did you have to go on that mission?" the dragon looks at the human with disgust "What did you want to achieve with an idea as absurd as going on a mission too much for an inexperienced warrior like you?" Alexandra tenses a little at his gaze.

"Well ... I ..." she squeezes the cup feeling unsure.

"A great warrior, one of the best captains of our guild, and someone close to me died for your selfishness and carelessness" those words annoyed the human, she had known the most treacherous and shameless face of the dragon and for her, Kuketzi was not more than a bloody traitor to her, yet she kept quiet and pushed her negative ideas away. "I understand that you wanted to prove your worth and be a warrior like us, but you went too far hiding and trying to fight battles too big for you."

"Captain Drigielix please calm down" she takes away the glass that still had the drink in it. "Let's leave the drink up to here, you can have the rest" the human thanks the bartender's services and asks him not to serve more, but she is pushed by the white dragon who retrieves the glass from her and takes more of it.

"Don't treat me like that, I've only had five drinks and I would need more to be drunk" the dragon's voice grew more aggressive as he opened his muzzle.

"So behave like a decent dragon and not a rude drunk who needs to shut down his drinking" she demands annoyed by the shove.

"You say decent? Ha," the dragon adjusts his posture showing an air of superiority and pride. "It's funny that you say it, a human who did not know how to act like a decent warrior and did not know how to be in her rightful place," he says smugly, Alexandra clenches a fist with her other hand holding her anger that increased with each word outside of the place that he released against her.

"Please Captain Drigielix, I beg you, avoid saying things you don't know because the truth is not always so obvious at first glance" replies the human taking a few breaths to relax. "I know you're upset with me, but I wanted to try to be nice to you and see if we could put the past behind us and move forward as allies again."

"Leave the past behind haha" Drigielix squeezes the cup hard, breaking it in the process. "Why would he be your ally? Kuketzi is dead because of you." Alexandra looks down, regretting having tried, in the end, the dragon that she had confidence in the past was not willing to listen to her.

"You're right" she takes her helmet and starts to leave, "I don't know why I tried it in the first place" when she was about to put the helmet on, Drigielix's hand took it, turning it forcibly so that they were face to face " What do you want!?" she screams feeling that she was one step away from losing control.

"If it had not been for me, you would not be a warrior, you are a darling of your mother taking advantage of your mother's name and reputation to achieve more things, while I and Kuketzi try hard, we sacrifice a lot of ourselves to be what we will never be, true warriors "

Those words had hurt the human's heart, she had also fought to be considered a warrior, and it was not fair that he underestimated her efforts and achievements. The dragon, seeing the tears on that face with burn marks, smiled satisfied with himself, he felt calmer, he just needed to tell the annoying human what he deserved.

"Captain Drigielix" the dragon turns to see that he wanted the human to get hit with the bottle that the human had paid for.

"Daughter of a lizard!" the dragon puts his hand on his face in pain and tries to protect his eyes from him.

"What a mediocre captain you are if you couldn't anticipate the attack of an inferior creature like me," she says giving a blow to his pride in front of several dragons.

Using her tail affects her balance causing her to fall to the ground and is pouncing to hit her, she responds by also returning the blows, they were trying to do as much damage as possible and a group of dragons gathered shouting in favor of Drigielix and betting on The fight as if it were a simple street fight between drunks, Drigielix had a lot of advantage, the dragons were too strong for any human and he could kill her with blows without the least possible effort, it just did not count that she had trained a lot and learned many things thanks to his mother and Ssaull. Making a deception with her movements she goes to his blind spot to hit his back, but he anticipates it and uses his tail to throw her, in a reflex Alexandra places her arms to protect her face, and during the impact, something unexpected had happened, the shield from her armor's forearms was activated by severing Drigielix's tail. All the dragons were stunned silently by what they saw, Drigielix released curses and curses for the pain he felt from his sliced tail reclining in pain, and with the human between blood and tears he left the place to avoid more senseless violence, Drigielix Noticed that he runs to continue fighting, but the human throws a smoke bomb directly into his eyes so that he cannot follow her. When the dragon saw his severed tail bleeding the anger and rage inside him only increased, Drigielix wanted more and more to see Alexandra's corpse even if it meant that he had to die in the process, his pride and honor were cut with his tail, It was then that the dragon considered the subject of a duel to the death for honor against the human to end the matter once and again and recover some of his pride and hurt honor.
