"You all have a problem with that?"
"What happened to intervening on our behalf?"
"...Showing us mercy?"
"I am showing you mercy. This is a Nursery. Just one of one hundreds where we meet.
If I weren't here….you might not even be fighting."
"Uhhh."
"My Mercy!!!!! Ahhh, yes.
I was sworn to protect with my life, as was Rainbow. Trust no one, and align with none. If you do, the risks are on you. Rainbow knew that...…and it is what led her.
Thankfully, the threat has been neautralized; which I have been telling the Dragons here.
I don't care if you are a friend, or blood. Once you see a Dragon, I cannot let you just leave. Most Dragons won't even let you blink twice. So...prove to me why I should let you leave. Fight...the Children, and I will spare you from fighting their parents.
Is that not Mercy, Elwin?"
"I...I would not want to take them away from their parents, Natysh. That's just…."
"Wrong?
Funny words coming from you, Ruby.
*Phueeeeeem*
*Tingdinaalidlingaadinggg*
Pick up the Spear. A Warrior fought bravely with that, you know."
"I…"
"PICK IT UP!!!!!"
"...What about me?"
"Elwin, I don't know if I should treat you like a dragon, or as a Queen. You need no weapons.
Your punch alone could pierce a hide.
That is...…if you ever were to practice."
"You know I don't have time. I am not like Ruby. I have a Kingdom to run. Lives to order, and mouths to feed. They are all depending on me. I can't just slip away for a few minutes of peace. From the time I wake up to the time I hit the pillow; I am a Queen; and even after I go to bed."
"Then today we'll consider this your first practice.
I hope Tai didn't turn you into a big softie. Hopefully he taught you how to do more than just tie your hair behind your crown so it doesn't pinch in the back.
Give it to me."
"But."
"Come on. Give it. I'll take good care of it.
After all, Kain needs something to remember you by if you don't make it."
"Ruby?"
"Elwin, just give it to her. They have us blocked."
"Okay, but this is only temporary. I am still Queen."
*Tingdalingdadingg*
"Haaaaa.
There is no ranking here. No magic separates us, and no smarts divide. It's just Dragons.......and Food.
No middleground.
Thanks for the Crown by the way. It fits atop my head so nicely, but avast...…I already have my own."
*Gulp*
"To Arms!!!!!!!
*BOOM*
I'll go easy on you. Two V One. Then throw in another when you feel tired."
"Natysh, these are Dragons. Once they sense our blood, they will all attack. You can't control a Rogue. They are…"
"LIES!!!!!!!!
I can't control them, but I can lead them. As long as you stay within the ring, then the Dragons will obey. If you step outside...…..well.....that's not my jurisdiction."
*BOOM...BOOM...…BOOM...BOOM*
"ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!"
"Now, as you said. Dragons don't like to play with their food, so…..if you want to see your friends again then I suggest you hurry up. There is only one way down....and none of you are even close to the edge."
"You wish one of those cloned Dragons could rescue us yet?"
"If you hadn't killed him, then I am sure he would have trained me."
"I'm getting bored!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*SNAP*
"ROAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!"
"Elwin, dodge left."
"Flame Ball!!!!!"
*Poof*
