Tales from the Moon: Dragon Legends

Chapter 46: XLVI. An Unknown Race of Dragons



After traveling for several hours without signs of civilization no matter how small, the group had to camp so that the horses and the beast lizard could rest due to so much walking and carrying a heavy tent, Ssaull rewarded them with very pure and freshwater. as a good meal so that your effort would be recognized. Magarai had to prepare several traps in the area to make sure they were safe, some were simply due to lack of resources and others were of a magical type that would attack potential sorcerers or undead, she was one of those who likes to sleep with an embraced sword.

"Several hours and we still don't see anything, not a single cabin to give us hope," says Alexandra, disappointed with her trip.

"Yes is life, you pursue a dream and it turns out that there is no Ha!" I eat the blue dragon.

"Your optimism is always welcome, idiot," Magarai replied, approaching the camp.

"I'm a skeleton, that should be enough for you to realize my optimism," she approaches her sister. "How are we doing with the fire?"

"I think I'm not as good with rocks and sticks as I thought," says Rophttys in frustration.

The dragon enters his mobile tent and after a few minutes comes out with a lighter, he did not have much and the dragon liked to use it to light his lamps at night, but for her sister, he would sacrifice himself to help her. Everyone was doing something except the only human girl in the group, she was meditating at the request of the relic so that she could concentrate and locate a kind of mystical trace of the other relics and thus be able to know where to find them, things were somewhat stressful for her, escaping from those who want to kill you, hiding from everyone, being considered a traitor of her species and having to handle the responsibility of handling the relics correctly and locating the other two were things that were overwhelming a lot. to the girl who was not even eighteen years old. Even so, that girl had to bear everything that happened in her life, it seemed yesterday that she only dreamed of being a Greater Dragon like her mother and now with all that she has lived, she was a fugitive and possibly the most hated living being. for both dragons and humans.

"Are you okay daughter?" the oceanic dragon approached to speak.

The girl opens her eyes and gets up from the floor to be able to speak more comfortably.

"Yes, everything is fine, or at least I think so," the dragon looks at the girl worriedly, "it is complicated yes, I knew that my life as a warrior would have difficult moments, I believed that it would help me to form my character since I was a better warrior like you "

"It turned out worse than you imagined" the dragon takes her daughter's hand.

Alexandra despite her effort, some tears began to escape from her eyes, everything that a warrior should live throughout her life, had flogged her violently and without breaks.

"No matter how hard I try, things keep pointing that they will get worse for me. It's okay, they hit me, cut me off, spit on me or even curse me, it's just that everything feels much worse for me, I just wish I had one little thing to hold onto as a good thing in my life "

"Alexandra you ... a warrior when she falls ..... someday we ....."

She could not complete any sentence because she did not even know what she could say to make her daughter feel better and to have some hope, the girl lets go of her mother's hand to walk around and do some surveillance to ensure the area security. The ocean dragon was disappointed in herself, she had promised her daughter a life that was never for her in the first place.

"Everything will be fine my friend" affirms he.

"Don't start your nonsense" she tries to ignore the dragon.

"I'm serious," the dragon looks at the human for a few seconds, "I know that neither you nor she will see it now, but I am sure that if neither of them surrenders, so much suffering or sacrifice will be worth it"

"Oh really? Forgive me if I sound skeptical of your wise words, it's just that if you can see well, I lost most of my tail and some fingers on one hand and my daughter has almost been killed by her companions and despite the will of her for helping the dragon society, they continue to see her as an enemy to destroy "she places her two fingers in front to massage herself. "Despite everything, of our physical and emotional wounds, tell me. What makes you think that? You are of a very discriminated race so you should be worse off than us in terms of hope we speak"

"It only takes a small spark, only one to turn all the pain into a strong hope, if an outcast dragon like me can see it, you can see it too"

"I hope you're right"

The group prepares dinner on the fire and they prepare to eat and rest like the horses later, of course, one of them would be in charge of setting up surveillance to avoid any surprise while they slept, it was the blue dragon who offered to watch that night, pointing out that he was very chivalrous because of his way of acting, only Rophttys understood his behavior, laughing on the spot, later she would explain to Alexandra what chivalry consisted of.

"Are you sure you will watch all night? I can support you in the other half, it is the least I can do for everything you do brother"

"Calm little sister, you are still growing and you need to sleep more. In the worst case I can count on that great warrior over there" he points to Magarai.

"You do the right thing to think like that," he said before entering her.

"Hehe, that dragon never changes"

He sees how Alexandra looks at the sky turning her back to everyone, worried about her friend, he approaches her to be able to talk to her and motivate her.

"Alexandra it is time to rest"

"Hey, Ssaull there's something weird about those logs" she points to four empty logs. "I could swear there was only one"

The dragon looks at the trunks not seeing anything strange or outstanding, the dragon supposed that the girl must have confused what she had seen or that the dream did not allow her to tell well. Alexandra already expecting the worst she uses the sacred relic of the oceanic to attack the logs and make sure that she was not crazy, Ssaull's surprise was greater when she saw that the logs were moved to avoid the hit of the relic.

"What the ...!"

"I knew there was something wrong with those logs!" she attacks again with her relic.

"Magarai alerts that we are not alone!" yells he.

The dragon left without delay when she heard that there was someone with them, she asked what was the objective to attack and her daughter points out the four logs that are more alarmed by moving from one side to the other more quickly.

"They think they can watch us and not suffer the consequences"

The oceanic dragon fires a water shot at those who were hiding in the logs. The four trunks took a defensive position and then responded with a strange attack by moving the roots and creating giant carnivorous plants.

"Son of a lizard," said the three warriors when they saw several giant plants against them.

"Alexandra Kersu Firrex fire spell!" Ssaull yelled.

Both recite the spell and fires birds began to come out of the campfire that the warriors had behind them, despite not mastering fire spells she uses an ice spell to slow down the movements of the plants, the warriors gather to be able to learn better from the fighting.

"Ssaull!"

The skeleton dragon reacts to hearing a cry from his sister, breaking formation almost immediately he turns to see what was happening to his family, the female of the skeleton race had been held by some roots and below a dragon was wearing a strange disguise large and colorful leaves.

"Fuck!"

The dragon stops his two companions and points out the situation of his sister so that they understand that now he must stop to prevent Rophttys from happening something to them, the strange flower-like dragon makes sure that no one would make any move in Against them, the dragon causes various roots to tangle around the limbs of the three warriors to ensure that he does not move a muscle without their permission. Now the dragon making some indications to the trunks, those pieces of nature begin to alter their forms revealing that it was only an optical illusion caused by what should be was utilizing a spell that they did not know, Ssaull is impressed by a spell of he changed form through illusion, he wielded an invisibility spell that perhaps wielded the same principle, but he did not know that there was one that altered one's form. Four dragons in large and colorful leaf costumes like the fifth were revealed, they were three males and two females.

The dragons communicated in a strange language that the three warriors could not understand, Rophttys could only recognize certain words such as Italian, but she was not entirely sure, she did not know how to speak the language at all, but some words she had heard before

"I think they speak Italian!" she yells.

"Are you sure?!" yells the blue dragon.

"Not at all!"

"He's Italian, I see that her friend recognizes enough to give that answer"

It was the dragon that was holding the greenish dragon that spoke, this at least was a relief for Alexandra's group, so they could dialogue and perhaps avoid some tragedy.

"What do they want?" Alexandra asked.

"We want nothing, unless you turn out to be a threat to us" the dragon takes a few steps to get closer to the mother of the human "Magarai of Rexn-Laigun, a Greater Dragon from the north and daughter of a great lineage of Greater Dragons for his ancestor Meugurai who started the most rotten legacy of all "

"Oh, I must guess he's a friend of yours" comments Ssaull.

"I don't know him," she looks fearlessly at the dragon disguised as leaves. "If you're going to threaten me at least take off your costume and show some honor" she demanded.

The dragon laughs a little and at will makes the large leaves around its body showing that these leaves were kind of special scales that could change the size, colors, and shape at will, this allowed the dragon to adapt to the environment and be able to camouflage himself in the place where he is.

"My name is Rokuax, I am the main leader of the natural dragon vigilance squad."

The other dragons show that they had the same scales as the leader, it was a completely different race of dragons from those already known. Alexandra did not know that there was the fifth race and when she saw the looks of her mother and her friends, she realized that neither they had any idea of the existence of said race.

"Impossible, there are only four races. Not even the ancestral race of our ancestors exists because they are extinct a long time ago" says Magarai.

"What my not very kind friend wants to say is that we have never heard or seen a race known as the natural dragons before," says Ssaull trying to avoid disturbing the dragons.

"Logically, they have never heard or seen our race, we made sure that this was the case" explains the dragon who walks from one side watching the warriors until he reaches Alexandra "How strange you are. You are a terrestrial, oceanic, or a skeletal?"

The dragon brings his face closer to see the third warrior better and when he removes the most face from her, he takes the surprise that it was not a dragon, it was a human being and because of the features that she had and those unmistakable smells of female hormones he realizes that it was a human woman.

The four dragons that were behind the warriors commented in amazement that a human was fighting side by side with the dragons, it was assumed that the dragons of the lands of Berk'Drac were quite proud, they were not known to cooperate with such inferior spirits. them.

"They hurt you?" one of the two females asked Alexandra.

She did not need answers as to when she saw the human's face she could see burn marks and light scars on her face.

"It must be marks of punishment for mistakes or disobedience" another of the dragons spoke.

"Dammit torturing a poor human to fight for you, you deserve to die here"

"They are not forcing me!" Alexandra rises menacingly against the four dragons. "She is my mother and best friend, she would fight alongside them without hesitation"

This had surprised them, the group of natural dragons did not know what to do before these events so they decided to take the four prisoners to their home to interrogate them more and find out the truth of the human girl. One of the natural dragons stares at the two objects that the human had, something seemed to draw his attention to him who ends up smiling quite happy for having recognized two of the sacred relics of her ancestors.
