Suddenly a frightening roar was heard in the air and a big shadow flew over the grounds. The people looked up and saw a dragon flying through the sky as red as fire.
The dragon was certainly 30 meters long and its wings had a reach of 15 meters long. He was followed by four other dragons.
The dragon as red as fire lands for Kaida and the rest of the other dragons for their mistress. Huli looked at the mighty dragon and had to swallow. Fu was big but not that big.
The moment the dragons had landed, the people stopped shaking and came to their senses again. With wide eyes, they looked at the five dragons that all looked powerful. It was clear that Kaida's was the largest.
The moment the dragons opened their mouths and spit fire, it was burning hot on the grounds. The younger generation on the right were now pale and did not know if they should cry or laugh. The older generation were cheering exuberantly since they had seen dragons more often.
The women did not move a muscle while they were coverd with fire and they showed no fear. When the dragons were satisfied, they lifted their heads and spewed fire in the air. Their Kimona's were no longer on fire and they climbed off the altars.
A few minutes later, the sky was covered with hundreds of dragons looking for their master. The dragons spewed fire from the air to see if their master was still worthy of them. when every dragong was satisfied they landed and went to their masters.
Okuri gave the signal that the foxes, wolves and snakes could also be released and gradually the area started to fill up with all the animals from the four tribes
Music could be heard again on the grounds and the final party could begin. Many people carefully contacted the people of the dragon tribe to get the chance to see a dragon up close.
Rei and Kyro stood with their dragons and gave the dragon eggs to their children.
"Remember you have a week to make them hatch"
......
Huli sat next to Kaida and looked at the dragon who layed obediently behind her. The moment Fu arrived, the dragon raised its head and stood up
"Mm so this is the fox you rode on"
Kaida smiled lovingly and rubbed her scales
"don't be jealous long, I still like riding on you the best"
Long looked at Fu and layed down again. Fu shrugged and went to lie behind Huli. Long raised her eyes and growled because Fu layed down next to her.
Fu did not feel threatened by Long and did not move as she was always behind Huli. It is not my fault that our masters are sitting side by side, Fu thought.
Kaida rolled her eyes when she saw Haya coming their way with a sour face. Haya stopped at front of them and said mockingly
"What a coincidence that your dragon looks exactly like your mother's if I didn't know better than ..."
Before Haya could continue talking, Long had risen and stood with his nose close to Haya's face, roaring loudly and spitting fire past her.
Haya would lie if she had not been shocked but she did not show it, she adjusted her clothes well and said
"You forget that I grew up with your mother, do you think her dragon never threatened me?"
She looked from Kaida to Long and then back to Kaida and turned and walked away.
"Long that is enough, lie down again"
Huli looked annoyed at Kaida
"was it necessary what if your dragon really had hit my mother? You know my mother is only provoking you "
Kaida look irritated and took a sip of her alcohol and looked at him angrily
"when will you open your mouth against your mother instead of me? it is the final party I do not wish to talk about this at the moment "
Kaida stood up and rubbed Long's nose.
"It's been a while since I took a ride on your back, let's blow off some steam"
Long stood up and flapped her wings, causing a strong wind to blow over the grounds and everyone looked towards Kaida and Long.
The people from the other three tribes looked at Long in surprise. The dragon of Kaida was so fierce. Long flew high into the sky and spewed fire before they disappeared into the distance together.
Huli glanced at Kaida and when he no longer saw her he looked ahead with a doubtful look. Ronin saw his gaze and walked over to him.
He had seen what had happened when Haya approached them and how the mood of both Huli and Kaida warmed down.
"My old friend, what are you thinking about?"
Huli looked up when he heard Ronin's voice and signaled that he could take a seat
"my wife and my mother"
Ronin sat down and laughed
"you know that you are your mother's treasure . She only wants the best for you, but there is a limit and as you know your wife is not afraid to open her mouth. Well she should, if someone else doesn't open his mouth "
Huli looked up at Ronin with raised eyebrow.
"Who doesn't open his mouth? I respond the same to both. I tell them both that their behavior is not okay"
"But it is your mother who does not know her place, Kaida only indicates that. How do you think it will look to them if you only talk to them about their behavior in private? "
Huli sighed and took a sip of his drink.
"Mother will turn around, she just has to get used to the fact that I married someone from the dragon tribe. Once she knows Kaida she would love her "
Ronin grinned
"are you saying you love her already?"
Huli got up and looked at Ronin with a stern look
"it is too early to say that, what I do know is that I like to share the bed with her"
he walked to Fu and climbed on her back and drove away.
Ronin looked at him in astonishment
"how can he say that with such a straight face?"
.......
The final party was in full swing and Kaida and Huli had rejoined themselves among the people, it was noticeable to those who knew them well that something was going on because the rest of the evening Kaida and Huli were no longer talking to each other.
Everyone chose to pretend they did not realize to not ruin the good atmosphere. At the end of the final party, they said goodbye to most off the people.
Since most people had come on their animel of thier tribe, they insisted on leaving immediately.
Cuan's father would lead the people of the wolf tribe on his wolf back to the west.
While Kenta would lead the people of the dragon tribe on his dragon back to the south.
And The first general of the snake tribe would lead the people of the snake tribe on his snake back to the east.
Salmus and his wife were already on their snake and were ready to leave, they wanted to spend some time together so they left separately from their tribe.
Cuan sat on his wolf and insisted on accompanying Kyona a part of her journey, so that he could spend some more time with her. Her father was still drinking with Okuri so he decided to leave the next morning.
When everyone had left and Kaida wanted to enter the palace, Jaya came running fast
"My queen the dragon egg has disappeared"
Kaida turned quickly and looked at Jaya "how is that possible? Let a group of warriors look for the egg! "
Jaya nodded and quickly ran away.
After everyone had their dragon and all the dragon eggs were with their master, one was left. Kaida hadn't had time to inspect the dragon egg so she didn't know who it was from and now suddenly it was gone? She didn't know why, but she had a bad feeling about it
