Her long blonde hair glossed away at the shining sun, her white supple skin was strikingly spotless, white scales covered several parts of her long and slender arms and legs, the thing that struck me the most was her long pointy ears that were similar to that of an elf but it had a few white scales on it.
"P-please stop staring at me..."
She whispered with her frail light voice, we met eye contact, her golden eyes were beautiful to gaze at...her face reddened and she turned away from me...
"S-sorry about that...do you have a place to return to?"
"N-no, as I said a while ago that I was banished from my hometown..."
"So that hometown is a city in the skies?"
"Y-yes..."
"You look like an elf to me...but those scales..."
"P-please stop staring...I was ridiculed for being born like this...my keen claim that having golden hair and eyes was a sign of a curse..."
"Y-you actually look magnificent...so you're a dragon?"
"Y-yes...I'm very sorry for going berserk just a few minutes ago...I was sealed and injected with some kind of drug..."
"It wasn't intentional so it's fine...I recommend that you travel with us for now since you don't have a place to return to."
"That would be great!"
Her face brightened and she quickly stood up...the towel covering her immediately fell off so I turned around quickly...
"Kyaa!"
"We need some clothes for you first..."
After that quick problem, I went down to the others just down below, and fortunately, we had some spare clothes that just managed to fit Sellainor...well I mean she has a thin figure...
"M-meet Sellainor...she was the crazy dragon just now..."
"P-please forgive me! I wasn't in control of my body at the time..."
"For a dragon, you sure look beautiful in your human form..."
"Pointy ears! They're twitching! So cute!"
I went ahead over to Jade who was still crippled, I might be able to heal her now...
"Sorry for the long wait..."
"You sure took your sweet time..."
"Can you move your legs and arms?"
"I can't, there's no feeling when I touch something..."
"They've gone numb...let me try to heal you...I swear this time you'll be fine!"
"You better keep your word..."
After successfully healing her limbs we went back to the others who were discussing our future plans.
"I guess Sellainor will be traveling with us for a while, at least until she finds a new place to settle down..."
"Sellainor, can you transform into a dragon?"
"Not right now, I'm weakened by the recent events...maybe a few days worth of rest will do."
"I see, well thanks for letting us know."
"Shall we get going now?"
"Let's go!"
We walked through the forest, idly chatting about stuff. We stopped by the river for lunch as Nanako and Asaka were experienced with fishing, they were able to catch enough fish for us so we grilled em. After finishing up lunch, we continued on our journey to Azuma no taiyō. Night came quick so we set up camp once more and on the third day of our journey, we finally made it out of the forest. The rising sun was warm on our face, the cool wind flowed through the grassy plains...
"No more forests! Just plains of grass!"
"We somehow made it..."
"The warm sun, the cool air...what a feeling!"
"I think we should find a village somewhere..."
"I mean, if it means sleeping in a soft bed I'm on board that idea!"
"If I may be useful, I can now transform into a wyvern, a smaller version of a dragon."
White light surrounded her causing us to cover our eyes, huge white wings flapped, she roared loud enough as her transformation finished.
"Wooooow!"
"You look so fantastic!"
"D-dragon! It might be small, but what beautiful wings!"
"Why thank you!"
"Well, shall we send a scout to find some sort of village?"
"I'm not comfortable..."
"No experience here!"
"Tarus, if I may be selfish enough to request you to ride me..."
"E-eh?!"
"It seems that the others are still wary of me and since they don't have experience riding dragons..."
"I also don't have experience...."
"It's just like riding a horse!"
"W-well then...I'll give it a shot!"
I rode on the back of Sellainor without any saddle or type of fastener...this is going to be a little bit tricky...
"I'll start slowly."
"O-ok!"
She flapped her wings once more and slowly but surely we were hovering above the ground. I put my arms around her neck to make sure that I wouldn't fall off her.
"Are you hanging on Tarus?"
"S-somewhat, this is rather scary!"
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it in due time!"
"Let's find this so called village then!"
We flew north and surprisingly there was smoke which signaled some sort of human activity.
"Sellainor! Let's check it out!"
"Aye!"
She flew headfirst, speeding to the ground, there were some people surrounding someone who looked defenseless.
"five versus one eh! Let's make that three versus five!"
"Who's this kid with a flying lizard?" One of the bandits brandishing a blade asked
"I'm just a kid with a dragon in tow, don't you think it's unfair to have so many people against one?"
"Shut up ya damned brat!"
"Too cocky for your age eh?"
"LET'S GET EM BOYS! WE CAN SELL THAT WYVERN FOR A LOT OF CASH SINCE IT'S RARE!"
"BLAST EM SELLAINOR!"
"AYE!"
A hot light beam came out of Sellainor's mouth which made easy work of the bandits, cutting them in half...I thought that there was more to them than meets the eye...but I guess that was it...
"Well, that was boring..."
"Did you just say Sellainor?" asked the hooded person
"What about her?"
"B-big sister?"
"S-SENDRA?!"
"BIG SISTER!"
The two hugged as the sun went down, both of their golden hairs glistened in the sunlight, their tears were shining as they were both reunited...what a touching scene as I stood there in silence...
