By the way, the title is a Chinese idiom or proverb, referring to the colossal rivalry between the tiger and the dragon. One represented hard power, the other embnodied soft power, and the both of them symbolize the balance between the perpetual opposite powers of yin and yang. The tiger was all ferocity, raw strength and brute force, whereas the dragon was respected for its wisdom, unending patience and unwavering calm. The dragon also represented Heaven, while the tiger was the scion of Earth.
Well, theoretically, anyway. It was meant to be symbolic, an idiom that was rarely manifested literally. Even so, it was quite the coincidence that our auras had taken their respective shapes. Honestly, I could have summoned White Tiger instead, but I was terrible at lightning magic, so…yeah. No go. It was either ice magic or wood magic, and since I had more practice with the latter, the choice was an obvious one.
"Ugh…!"
