Tales from the Moon: Dragon Legends

Chapter 36: XXXVI. Humans stick Together



Some time ago during a visit to the kingdom of Morkhex, Magarai and an Alexandra barely ten years old were visiting a museum of the kingdom that had information about humans, this had been a gesture that the dragon had made for her daughter, who had Curious about her own body and the things her species should be able to do, despite the limited information and poor illustrations of human beings, that did not seem to affect the little human's curiosity and interest. for knowing even little about herself. The dragon sees how some dragons were looking for her intending to talk privately, so Magarai tells her daughter to wait for her at the place while she attended to some business with some colleagues, the girl out of curiosity follows her mother without no one would pay attention to it, it had its advantages to be ignored by the dragons because it was considered a small and inferior creature.

"It seems that you continue with this nonsense of being the mother of a human Magarai, I thought you had gotten rid of that nuisance years ago," Sukrez says with disgust "That girl should be dead a long time ago," he says pointing to Magarai's attitude as the irresponsibility of the female dragon.

"As sweet with your words as always Sukrez, not even with your best warrior you can be affectionate," said Relzilius with a mocking tone to his partner.

"You know very well that this is already ridiculous"

"I know, but that does not mean that you cannot show some manners and respect to yours" the winged dragon looks in another direction annoyed "Magarai, I know that we approved the adoption and the temporary retirement to your duties of warrior for so good service, but this is no longer fun for us and we want you to return to your true duty. " That comment from the ocean dragon was not to Magarai's liking.

Before the female dragon answers, she flips a coin with a yellow gem for Relzilius to look for like those pets that were looking for her toys.

"As greedy as ever, advisor, you know that if an enemy saw you in such a vulnerable state, they would have already killed you very easily" Magarai mentions annoyed. "Before pointing out my flaws or concerns, first remember yours."

"That's true Relzilius, I could even kill you effortlessly, even so, what you do is disrespectful Magarai, you can't mess with us as if you are at our same status" Sukrez responds offended.

"If I remember wrongly defeating you in a fight for glory in front of everyone if you are still the captain of the most powerful troops in Morkhex it is because I did not want the position and because Muriany still saw you as worthy of the position. But if you insist, we can have a second fight "the dragon with evident hatred is silent, he knew that he could not beat even the best warrior of all the Greater Dragons. "You know very well that when I asked to be Alexandra's mother, I told everyone that this was my decision and that I would follow her until the day I die, enough of insisting that I renounce my wishes just because you can no longer laugh "she mentions with a cold look and ready to fight.

"Are you willing to provoke a fight over such a pathetic creature?" the dragon asks with a death glare if that was the case.

"Not fighting, but I am more than willing to remind some of the fear that I can cause in their scales if they provoke me" she responds with a challenging tone.

Before both dragons cause an uproar in the museum, the terrestrial dragon Muriany appears in the middle of them to prevent them from continuing the conflict, with a slap at Magarai and a blow to the stomach of Sukrez, that female keeps them both at bay.

"You know that I am not interested in stopping any fight that you do as long as it entertains me and the others, but we are in a museum and we should act in a more civilized way while talking to an old friend," said the female dragon with a terrifying smile.

Both dragons control each other and only shake hands to show that they would put the grudges or provocations aside, Relzilius only smiles happily for not having fallen for the provocations and not ending up in the crosshairs of Muriany's wrath.

"Magarai does not take this as an attack against you or your wishes, but let me tell you that the idea of your affection for a human is not healthy, I would almost say that it is a sick behavior and not worthy of the dragons. Still, I respect your decision. . But one day, that creature you call a daughter will meet other humans, and when she has the option of staying with you or leaving, I assure you that she will leave without even thinking about all those years she spent with you "the earth dragon notes how Magarai tries to hide a face of pain and sadness, that's when Muriany realizes that something was different in Magarai and with time it would mean a big problem for them, she had already seen it in Ssaull and could not allow that to become to repeat. However, she had to handle things calmly and avoid making hasty decisions.

"She will still be my daughter" the dragons look at her curiously what Magarai had whispered "Regardless of whether she goes with the humans and does not see her again, Alexandra is and will continue to be my daughter," she said with no regrets or anguish in her voice.

Little Alexandra had heard and witnessed everything looking sadly at her mother, for the little girl, it was a great illusion to have human friends, so she would not feel so alone with the dragons, but she would never be separated from her mother, Magarai was everything that Alexandra wanted and needed in her life and wanted to be as strong and brave as her dragon mother.

Nowadays.

Alexandra with some humans and the two dragons take seats where one offers some water, but Ssaull politely rejects it and makes his sister do the same, if he knew something it was not to accept anything from nervousness people or that they look at you as if they wanted to kill you. Alexandra notices that attitude of distrust in the environment, dragon distrusting humans was already very common for her, but it was new for her to see the distrust of humans with dragons.

"Ahem," the blue dragon was the first to make a sound to speak, the two soldiers who saw the dragon had their hands already wielding the swords and pistols ready to fight and kill both dragons "Good, since we are all somewhat nervous with our presence Mutate, let me offer you a good gift of peace "Ssaull takes out of his bag some music players that according to him were the newest, but these people recognized that they were old products of at least ten years, even so, they accepted it.

"You speak English well from what we see," said the scientist, writing down notes on the blue dragon in his notebook.

"Not only English, I can speak French, Russian, German, and a little Spanish, but that is the most difficult for me, too many verbal combinations for my liking" the dragon responds calmly.

"[Why didn't you teach me the other languages?]" Asks Alexandra somewhat annoyed with the dragon.

"[You barely master English, don't be greedy and first master English and then learn another if you want]"

"[Don't tell her what to do, a monster like you should shut up]" Marcus responds, putting his hands violently on the table.

"[Great, you have a personal escort. That's what I call a breakthrough]" the dragon smiles with his annoying smile, Alexandra responds with a loving smile, she was already beginning to appreciate that annoying face of the blue dragon.

"[He is just a friend, he has taught me a lot about my people and he is quite nice]" she gives him a light tap on the boy's shoulder as an act of camaraderie, he just rubs his shoulder.

"Good dragon, start talking about your intentions" he directs his gaze on the green dragon "Rophttys you better than anyone knows that dragons are not welcome here, not even you, we can only allow you to get here, but bring another dragon it's already very annoying "

One of the armed men approaches Rophttys to continue scolding her, the greenish female becomes sad bowing her head accepting the blame, this annoyed Ssaull and worried Alexandra, even so, they both maintained control of their actions so as not to ruin the neutral environment. However, Ssaull was capable of hitting the human if he dared to do something to the little greenish dragon.

"Well, our intention is with her," he says pointing to Alexandra.

"Me?" She points to himself, quickly Marcus steps in front of her in an act of keeping her safe.

"Well, better forget about her dragon, Alexandra stays here and you better go and forget about us and this place or we will hurt you a lot, we know the excessive sensitivity of your race's pain and .."

Ssaull yawns carelessly leaving everyone present watching him and Alexandra holding back the laughter, it seems that she finally saw the fun in the personality of the blue dragon.

"Listen and understand the Dragonica well. [Alexandra, your mother hired me to look for you and see if you could come with me to the lands of Rush]"

"[You mean that place where many dragons decide to go on long journeys to new lands. Why does my mother want us to meet there?]"

"[It's not obvious, she wants to sell you to a dragon from those lands to get rid of you]" Marcus explains suspiciously to which the scientist agrees in favor of the boy's assumption.

"[That doesn't make sense, it is too much effort and you would spend much more money than you would earn, of course assuming the dragons of the distant lands follow the same monetary system of the kingdoms of Berk'Drac]" said Rophttys.

"[I agree with my sister]" says the dragon.

"[Even I see it, Marcus, what you say is too much for little thing]" Alexandra responds in agreement with the dragons.

"[Anyway, I don't want anyone to think that I plan to kidnap the human, she has the freedom to refuse and we will gladly leave, but your mother will come looking for you anyway. Although good if you feel comfortable living with yours, she will possibly understand and leave you alone] "

"She will prefer to stay here, we humans must stick together and we will always support each other. This is her home now and here she can feel like part of something, unlike you miserable killer lizards." said the scientist, showing himself proud at his words.

Alexandra did not seem to fully agree with what the subject was saying, she was barely understanding the environment of humans, she had finally found other human beings with whom to live and learn, but if her mother suffered from her absence, Alexandra would not forgive herself, if only humans and dragons were friendlier to each other, she could be with humans and her mother without problems.

"[Ssaull, since I was little I always wanted to know if there were more humans in the world or if I was the last of my kind, finally the encounters and now my heart is more than happy that I no longer feel alone in the world]"

"[Have you seen him? She prefers to be with us]"

[Even so, I still love my mother, when she risked so much for my willingness to sacrifice her life to protect me from dragons, it makes me feel a strange feeling because I don't want to be completely separated from her. You can make Ma ... ouch] "She gets trampled on with the dragon's tail.

"[Oops, sorry]" the dragon is pointed by two pistols "[Oh please! Do you aim your weapons at one of yours just because you accidentally stepped on another? Please don't be so paranoid.]"

"[What she was saying, I want you to tell Ma .... ouch]" again her feet are stepped on by a tail, this time it was Rohpttys.

"Enough with both of you, tails up or we'll take the next one as an attempt to hurt the girl" the dragons pay attention and raise their tails.

Before continuing Alexandra notices a peculiar movement in the blueish tail, this movement was nothing more than the secret tail code of the Greater Dragons, this was one of the things that Magarai taught her daughter so that her daughter was more prepared to get the title of Greater Dragons. Ssaull's movement told the girl not to say her mother's name under any circumstances, she would explain later when he could, but for the moment to avoid Magarai's name or something terrible could happen and that it was better to avoid that.

"[I want to be with mine for a while, but it would also make me happy to see my mother from time to time. Is there no way I can do that?]" She asks.

"[Alexandra I don't think it can be done, not at least with the current situation you live in]"

"[What is Alexandra's situation?]" Ask the scientist and Marcus.

"[She should be the one who tells that, I am not clear about all the details]" lies the dragon "[Answering your question friend, I think your mother has more interest in starting from scratch in a new home.]"

"[Then for her to come here and she could be a fighter for humans just like you Ssaull]" he comments hoping to see his mother and live with her in this place, but she notices the expressions of hatred and disgust of the humans with the idea, she recognized that it was the same look that dragons had with her.

"[As much as we would like to, it is evident that none of those present want that. Don't worry, I still like the life of a street vendor, you never stay in one place and you meet several new places and interesting dragons and great humans ]"

Ssaull winks in a friendly way at her human friend, she recognized that she had been a good friend like Rebecca, Alexandra smiles, certainly she already saw with the same affection and friendship as she was in her time with Kaipo.

"[Give me three days to think and learn more about humans]" she said raising her three fingers to highlight the three days. "[And if in case I decide to stay, I will give you my things to give to my mother, she will need it more against Rellix than I do.]"

Before the other humans say anything, Alexandra runs to hug Ssaull and Rophttys, she brings her lips to the dragon's ear and whispers a few words to what he understands was a request in case a conflict occurred. In the end, the two dragons march and leave the meeting place and leave the site. The people who attended were observing something strange about Alexandra, Marcus was the same as the other people and he kept wondering about Alexandra's behavior. Why would she be willing to go back to the dragons? They had hurt the girl, it would be logical not to want to talk to them, but certainly Alexandra despite the injuries, damages, and pain that she went through with most of them, a part of Alexandra still wanted to believe in the possibility of a future where they Humans and dragons could live on equal terms and in peace.
