Four wings could be seen on the creature in the sky. Each wing was white and was several yards long. The edges of the wings were light gray and the rest of each wing was white.
The four wings of the creature connected to its long and slender body. The body was almost completely covered with white scales. Only parts of the creature's body that didn't have white scales were its stomach, its forehead, and the end of its extremely long tail. The parts of the creature's body that weren't covered with white scales were instead covered with light gray scales.
The creature's body was longer than it was wide. The creature's body's width was only about a third of the size of its wings. But, the creature's body's length was several yards long. The creature's body's length was triple the length of its wings. Since the length of the creature's tail was almost double the length of its wings.
The boy continued to look up at the creature as it began to descend. As the creature descended from the sky, with each flap of its wings, the wind pressure increased greatly.
The boy began to back away from the creature that descended toward him. A look of pure fear appeared on his face as he looked up at the creature and thought. "A-A dragon?! Th-There is no way we can beat that!" He looked at SG and the masked woman as he thought. "They're not strong enough." He looked back up at the white dragon. Both the boy and the dragon locked eyes. The dragon stared at the boy with its big black eyes as the boy thought. "No one is."
SG yelled out to the boy. "My lord, why are you just standing there?! Get out of here already!"
The boy continued to stare at the white dragon which continued to get bigger as it descended. The shadow from the dragon's body began to recede as the dragon continued to get closer to the ground. The boy thought absentmindedly as he watched the dragon. "Get out of here...? Is it even possible... to escape anymore...?"
The boy heard the masked woman mumble. "Oh well this is kind of exciting. I was going to leave. But, I've changed my mind."
The boy thought. "Exciting?" He looked over at the woman and thought. "What is exciting?"
The masked woman began to squirm as she said while excited. "I've never fought a dragon before!" She began to continually readjust her grip on her sword and her dagger as she continued to squirm with excitement. She continued to look up at the dragon as she said with excitement. "I want to fight it! I want to fight it so badly!"
The boy thought. "Sh-She wants to fight a dragon?! She's insane!"
The white dragon stopped descending toward the ground. It flapped its large wings and hovered in the air as it looked down at the people below it.
The masked woman said with disappointment. "It stopped?"
SG yelled out to the boy. "My lord! Quickly take this!"
The boy turned and looked over at SG.
SG deflected an attack from Alessia with his sword and then immediately kicked her in the chest with his right foot, sending her flying back. He turned and faced the boy as he held the whistle in his hand. He looked up at the dragon and then looked back at the boy as he said. "My lord, take this. You won't be able to escape without it." He tossed the whistle towards the boy and then turned and faced Alessia again.
The whistle flew in the air towards the boy who attempted to catch it. But the boy was unable to catch it. The whistle instead hit the ground and cracked. The cracked whistle laid by the boy's feet.
The white dragon howled in pain. Its howls echoed across the sky.
The boy reached down and picked up the cracked whistle.
As the boy reached down to pick up the cracked whistle the masked woman mumbled with excitement. "It's going to attack us from the sky! How exciting!"
The boy thought. "It's going to attack-" He quickly stood back up. He turned and faced the dragon.
A giant lump was forming in the white dragon's stomach as it stared at the boy with a fierce look.
The boy had a look of shock and fear on his face as he thought. "It's going to kill us all!"
The lump in the white dragon's stomach continued to grow larger as the white dragon continued to stare at the boy with a fierce look.
The boy thought. "It's going to destroy the entire kingdom!"
SG yelled out. "My lord, what are you doing?! Use the whistle!"
The boy looked at the cracked whistle and thought. "Use the whistle? What is a whistle going to do?" He looked back up at the dragon.
The lump in the dragon's stomach got even bigger and then the dragon began to open its mouth.
SG yelled out. "My lord, use the whistle before it is too late!"
The boy thought. "Why does he keep saying that? What is a whistle going to do to a dragon?"
The white dragon opened its mouth wider as it continued to stare at the boy with a fierce look. A bright white beam began to form in the white dragon's mouth and the lump in the white dragon's stomach began to get smaller.
The masked woman laughed with excitement as she said. "It's really going to attack us! It's going to blast us all to pieces!" She laughed louder and said. "And no one will be able to interfere." She squirmed with excitement and readjusted her grip of her sword and dagger.
The bright white beam in the dragon's mouth began to get bigger and brighter. The lump in the dragon's stomach continued to increase.
SG yelled out. "You idiot! Snap it out of it already! Use the whistle or we're all going to die!"
The boy yelled out. "Fine I will!" He placed his fingers over the cracked parts of the whistle and then blew onto the whistle.
A deep sound came out of the whistle as the ground began to shake beneath the boy's feet. But, the boy remained on his feet as he stared at the white dragon which hovered in the sky.
The white dragon continued to look at the boy with a fierce look as a bright white beam continued to form in its mouth and the lump in its stomach continued to decrease.
The boy stared at the bright white beam in the dragon's mouth and then he stared at the whistle as he thought. "So it really did do nothing after all..."
The lump in the white dragon's stomach completely disappeared. The bright white beam became bigger and brighter than ever. The white dragon continued to stare at the boy with a fierce look as it pointed the beam at the boy. But, just as the beam was about to discharge, the white dragon aimed the beam directly above itself and discharged the beam.
The shockwave from the beam knocked everyone off their feet. They all fell onto the ground.
The masked woman was the first to get back up. She stared at the white dragon with amazement as she said. "Such power..."
The boy looked at the giant hole in the sky the bright white beam had created. The giant hole was several yards long in diameter and extended upwards several miles.
The boy looked at the giant hole with shock as he thought. "If that would've hit us..."
The masked woman said with excitement. "If that beam would have hit me..." She began to squirm with excitement. She then suddenly stopped. She turned and looked at the boy.
The boy began to crawl away from the masked woman as the masked woman continued to stare at him.
The masked woman said with a cold tone. "You there... Where do you think you're going?!"
A cold chill went down the boy's spine as he heard the masked woman speak to him. He suddenly stopped moving.
The masked woman tightened the grip on her sword and dagger as she looked at the boy and said with a cold tone. "You made it stop didn't you?" She took a step toward the boy as she said. "Do you know how long I've waited?" She took another step toward the boy as she said. "Do you know how long I've waited to finally die in battle?" She continued to walk towards the boy as she said. "Today was finally gonna be the day... Today I was finally gonna die!" She stood in front of the boy and said. "But you messed it up!"
The masked woman tossed her shortsword onto the ground in front of the boy. She then tossed her dagger over to her left hand.
The boy stared at the shortsword in front of him and then looked at the masked woman.
The masked woman yelled with anger. "Pick it up!"
The boy jumped backwards.
The masked woman said to the boy. "Get up! If you're not going to let me die then you'll die instead!"
The boy continued to lay on the ground as he looked at the masked woman with a fearful and confused look.
The masked woman yelled at the boy. "Get up already! I can't kill you unless you fight me!"
The boy yelled out. "Why are you doing this?! I don't want to fight you!"
The masked woman sighed and said. "You want to know why?" She bent down and grabbed the boy's chin with her right hand and forced the boy to look at her.
The boy's light silver eyes stared into the masked woman's light red eyes.
The masked woman asked the boy. "Do you know who I am?"
The boy shook his head.
The masked woman said. "My one and only name is Thana." She began to laugh as she said. "It is kind of ironic isn't it? A name like Thana and I'm still alive. Today was the closest I've ever been to death and you ruined it!" She tightened her grip on the boy's chin causing the boy to winch in pain.
The masked woman, Thana, let go of the boy's chin and stood back up. She then said with irritation. "It is like 'he' is laughing at me! He gives me a name like Thana and doesn't even let me die!" She clenched her right hand into a fist and tightened the grip on her dagger with her left hand.
Thana looked over at the white dragon which was still hovering in the sky. She then looked back over at the boy and said. "Hey kid you're able to control that dragon, right?"
The boy thought. "I'm able to control the dragon? What is she talking about?"
Thana continued to speak as she said. "Have your dragon attack me. Let me die to a being only a Supreme Slasher is capable of killing."
