Tales from the Moon: Dragon Legends

Days before.

After receiving the punishment for her actions and mistakes, Magarai had to take a whole day to rest as best as possible, she would have a long way to go if she wanted to leave the dragon lands dominated by the kingdom of Morkhex, despite the gravity of her wounded, the will of the oceanic dragon was unstoppable, she even if she lost a lot of blood, even if she still had swords stuck in her scales and her life was abandoning her, she would continue to achieve her goals. When the rest day ended, Magarai donned his Greater Dragon armor and took things necessary for her journey.

"Magarai should continue to rest" comments Sisser upon seeing her companion on her feet and wearing her armor. "Your wounds have not fully healed yet"

"I don't care, get enough rest"

The dragon looks nervously at Magarai, although her title of captain of the group had been revoked, Magarai continued to command fear and respect even if she looked like a badly wounded creature.

"As your leader Magarai I order you to go back to bed until the healers say you are fine" she takes a step reaffirming her authority astonishing that oceanic dragon.

"So you will be the new leader of our group" she laughs a little.

"What is so funny?" she asks, feeling offended

"Nothing special Sisser, I hope you are ready for a load as important as this, you know from your lifestyle that only focuses on your interests" mentions the dragon ignoring Sisser's order.

"Magarai I will not ask again!" the dragon aims its crossbow at the ocean. "Go back to bed"

"A leader points an arrow at a wounded dragon to take him to bed, good first move as a leader. You are certainly cut out for the job."

"Put aside your sarcasm, really Magarai I know you want to redeem your honor and pride as a dragon, but you have to rest better if you hope to be in better combat condition"

The winged dragon seeing the oceanic dragon reflect on her words calms down a bit thinking that Magarai finally understood that she was doing it for her good.

"Unless you shoot me with your arrow I won't go back to bed" Magarai resumes her march.

Sisser shoots following the advice of Magarai thinking that it was something that a leader should do, Magarai tries to catch the arrow with his tail, but due to the lack of it due to having been cut the arrow manages to hit her shoulder.

"Magarai!" the winged dragon runs to help her.

"Let me!" Magarai takes the sword from her and points it at her partner's face. "I don't need your help now get lost"

The winged dragon preyed on fear ignores the roles that both had, Magarai could still impose the necessary fear to achieve the things she wanted, she was still the strongest oceanic dragon of all and it was very difficult to oppose the warrior.

"Magarai just the dragon that I wanted to see" shouted Nemari who ran towards where Magarai was.

"By my scales" she turns to look at the ocean dragon. "What do you need Nemari?"

"Well, when I found out about your ahem, tail situation I thought an offering like this might put you in a good mood" Nemari shows her a prosthetic fin for her.

"Please get that thing out of my sight Nemari" she asks herself trying to be polite.

"But I thought you would like it since they cut off part of your tail I thought you would be grateful that someone cared about you"

Nemari seemed depressed by the rejection of her companion of the same race, Magarai did not know how to take the regrettable reaction of the oceanic dragon as kind as Nemari, she only takes a little breath to stay calm and keep her little patience.

"Nemari I appreciate your consideration but I don't need that prosthesis for myself" both Nemari and Sisser are surprised by her response. "I don't want any prosthetics"

"Magarai don't be an idiot friend!" she stands in front of the dragon ignoring her fears "Even you must recognize that not having your full tail will affect your condition to move in water"

"Without your tail, you will be a dead dragon if you face other oceanic in seas or lagoons. You know that without the tail your speed, reflections, and movements in water will be seriously reduced. You are crazy!" look at the menacing gaze of the dragon. "Of course I say it with your respect my superior"

"I do not want prosthetics, yes, they took part of my oceanic pride, but they will not take away my pride as a warrior and dragon, I prefer to die with my advantages and weaknesses before accepting alms or glances of sorrow from others"

The dragon leaves without the desire to follow such a useless conversation for her, she had more important things to worry about and if she has to face other ocean warriors, all he had to do was avoid fighting in deep water bodies. She was aware and therefore she should only avoid any fight that would put him at a disadvantage against her opponent.

"Damn reckless dragon, one of these days you will end up killing yourself for your stupid attitude" Sisser mentions stomping on the ground full of rage.

"I wouldn't say it's stupid, Magarai comes from a family that has only been Greater Dragons since the first Greater Dragon of the oceanic Meugurai"

"The legendary Meugurai is the ancestor of Magarai? The oceanic dragon from three hundred years ago known as the Oceanic Tempest King, that Meugurai."

"Yes, that same dragon that was one of those who started the legacy of the Greater Dragons" Nemari observes Sisser "I thought they knew"

"No, she's not one to talk about her family legacy unless necessary."

Sometime later, Magarai manages to convince the council of Queen Erisha to go find the Greater Dragons of the south, with her hurt pride and her strong warrior attitude, they managed to create an image of a dragon that wanted to regain its courage in front of everyone which the council accepted on the condition that they receive an answer on the fifth of her departure, they were to keep an eye on her and accept no more failures from the dragon before them. Magarai accepted knowing that if everything went well she would not have to worry about retaliation for her actions, she would be far enough away with her daughter and Ssaull to avoid the dangers, she took a beast lizard to try to go quickly to her mission and to be able to carry a lot too to be a little prepared for the long journey away from the dragon realms of Berk'Drac

Present.

She wakes up after a hard night stretching her arms, legs and what was on her tail a little, the dragon observed that severed tail, and her first thought was that she would somehow cut off Ssaull's bony tail if that dragon said a single annoying comment about the lack of a tail from her. Maybe if she brought her daughter she would be calmer in the face of the irritating attitude of the dragon, she gives some water to her beast lizard before mounting her and going to wait at the meeting point which she was close to her.

"Come on, I thought you would be here before me" he moves his head from side to side to look for the carriage or horse that the dragon was using to carry his daughter too "How a dragon without responsibilities like him can take time to reach an agreed place? "

The dragon starts to watch the area and sets up a small perimeter to keep a little control of anything that might happen, it was boring for her to wait, usually, when she said that something should happen at such a time and place it happened as she ordered, It would disappoint but when she remembers that it was Ssaull starts to think that it was typical of him to disappoint his companions, she hoped for a good reason for his delay. The female waited one day trying not to get carried away by her anger, she was risking everything to see her daughter and she did not want so much pain and sacrifice to be for nothing, one day and one night it was what she expected and she saw nothing, she was getting even more desperate for how the little sense of commitment that dragon was showing, living in the garbage and mediocrity had surely caused the dragon a lack of responsibility for his commitments. It was during one morning that Magarai saw a rolling tent carried by horses and a greenish skeletal dragon.

"Is that Ssaull's sister?" the ocean dragon wondered.

The dragon takes her sword as a preventive action in case the skeletal female plans something strange and takes a special potion to avoid fainting from the gases of that greenish dragon.

"Magarai, it's good that you're here, sorry for the delay, but things got a bit complicated to get here" explains Rophttys with a guilty smile at the delay.

"A and your brother?" the ocean dragon asked.

"To this well, you better come in and look at it yourself"

The oceanic dragon walks to enter the skeleton dragons shop, Rophttys notices how the dragon of the oceans had several scars on her face that she did not remember before and the most outstanding of all, her tail had been cut off, she remembered that one of the forms of to punish a dragon was to take away its pride according to the race that was, in the case of the oceanic it was its tail so that they could not swim properly. She worried about how her friend Alexandra would react when she saw her mother in that kind of state, when entering the store Magarai saw how her daughter and he were talking with a lot of animosities, it seemed that both of them got along quite well so much so that Ssaull was with her teaching things from their skeletal culture to the human one.

"Alexandra?"

When the girl heard the voice of the dragon that she considered her mother, she automatically turns to see her, Alexandra's eyes fill with tears and a smile is present when she sees her again.

"Mother!" she runs to hug the dragon.

"Daughter!" she reciprocates the hug of her little girl.

In the middle of the hug, the dragon tries to surround his daughter with his tail as he always did, however, since he does not have his full tail, he can barely roll his tail with a single turn, he manages to notice this by opening his mouth, surprised that they imposed him to his former partner such severe punishments.

"Damn Magarai, I'm sorry about your tail," said the blue dragon without thinking.

"Your tail? What's your tail mom?" the girl pulls away trying to see her mother's tail.

"It is not important darling, believe me, that does not interest me"

The girl tilts her head a little in the direction of the dragon's tail and takes the unpleasant surprise that she had cut off the greatest pride of an ocean dragon, her tail and it was all her fault, Magarai notices that look of sadness on her daughter and gently lifts her face to look at her.

"Hey, little girl whatever you're weighing ignore it" Magarai smiles. "If I have to give up my tail to be able to be with you, then I accept the price without regretting it for a single second"

"But ... it's your pride as a dragon"

Alexandra looked like she was about to cry over her mother's injuries.

"You're a wrong little one, my true pride as a dragon is you"

Both warriors hug each other with a smile of genuine happiness with tears of joy, the blue dragon seeing the scene also smiles when he sees how Magarai finally began to fight for what he wanted and not for what others ordered him to do.

"I'm very happy to see such a nice family reunion, but it's time to pay," he says, trying not to look soft on the scene.

"Ssaull?" Alexandra looks annoyed at the dragon.

"Relax daughter, a dragon pays his debts and he certainly has earned it" she takes out a bag with yellow gem coins for him, the dragon almost fainted from how rich he had become.

"Just don't drown yourself with drugs or alcohol, it would be a shame to know that you died like a drunk, that would be pathetic" she mentions smiling.

"Hey that did hurt!" the dragon pretends to wipe a tear "What I plan to do with a part of this money of yours is to invest it in finding the other two relics of the ancestors to see if Alexandra becomes the new Guardian Dragon"

"How?"

He makes a sign and Alexandra shows her the rings on her arms and neck, these rings gave off a great magical power that could be compared to the chain that the girl had on her side. Magarai when asking, realizes that it was the sacred relic of the race that skeleton dragon, he clarifies to Magarai that like her, he agrees that the human girl could use it without problem, in the end, he couldn't go against the will of one of the objects created by Mother Desthy.

She was impressed with how much her daughter was changing with her journey and adventure, she no longer seemed the same girl who wanted to hide in her tail and wanted to imitate everything she did, now Alexandra was growing up and had achieved something that many dragons they dreamed of being worthy of great powers and becoming the one who would protect and maintain the balance between the four species. The girl also mentions that she should make some special modifications to her armor to better protect the relics from possible enemies, since if the rumor that a human with sacred relics reached Captain Rellix then many enemies would come against the girl.

The oceanic dragon asks her daughter about how she knew about Captain Rellix to which the skeleton dragon of blue scale is ahead of the human responding that it was he who is teaching the girl more things about a warrior from his experience so that Alexandra would be more prepared for all kinds of adversities that her fate was preparing for the human, Magarai greatly appreciates that gesture and bows as a great act of respect to the dragon surprising everyone, this was the first time that Magarai bowed to someone she considered inferior to her, that was a sign that from now on he was on her side as a comrade in arms.

"Here you are, the Curse Spit" comments Rellix when he sees the container of the sacred relic of the terrestrial dragons.

Now she had in her possession two sacred relics and she only had to find the relic of the skeletons and snatch the human one from the oceanic ones and her revolution would come to the end of her with her being the new leader of the dragons.
