Dragons was one of the strongest beings to ever walked the earth. They are also one of the few beings to have immortality. When they get killed, their souls transfers to a new body and gets reborn, they can activate this process whenever they want after reaching a certain age. The only way for dragons to actually die is by destroying their dragon crystals.
"When a mortal possesses a dragon crystal and be able to unlock it's effect, the mortal will have the power of the dragon who owns the crystal which also results to the dragon's death. Am I right?" I asked.
"Yes, bad guy needs to be stopped" Isui replied.
"Then we're doomed! How can we stop those people from taking Isui's dragon power? It would be impossible for us to catch up to them." Me and Katsumi are both injured because of Feya.
"Well, I don't think we can do anything else. Let's just ask for information about that mysterious group that you're talking about Katsumi. But first I want to do something." I said.
At the village where we went and talked to the old villager.
"Thank you very much brave adventurers. Because of your help clearing those evil beasts and giving us funds for rebuilding our village, everyone here will now be safe and won't have to fear for our lives. Please stay for the night and later we will have a feast to show our appreciation." The old villager said while the other villagers are circling us.
"Mizuto! Mizuto! They see us as heroes, right? Right? If we continue doing this, soon we will be known through out the 5 kingdom" Katsumi asked.
"Yes, we really are seen as heroes by this village but we are not done yet. Our enemy is still out there and we need to stop them before they do some terrible things again. And we need to help Isui. With her current form, she probably won't be able to deal with those people on her own." I explained.
"Do not worry! even if we are in a tough situation good will always win over evil, we just have to keep fighting and never give up. With your magic and my strength and also Isui being on our side we will be unstoppable. So don't worry too much, ok?" Katsumi said to try cheering me up.
"You're right. if we think about it negatively, then we won't be able to think of a better plan. Let's just relax and enjoy the feast for now. To be honest you've been really annoying since we first met, but right now, it's actually pretty nice having you around." I said
Katsumi's face started to turn a little red. "If that's what you think... Hah?! Me? Annoying? But you were the one making this annoying face everytime I suggest an idea" Katsumi shouted.
"Why won't I make that face? I couldn't help it. The last time I agreed was last week, when we went up on a mountain and almost fell, but when we got down there was actually a tunnel going through the mountain. Going to that tunnel was alot safer than what you suggested." I explained.
And the night went like that for the two of them, while having fun on the feast that the villagers made for the things they did for them.
At the 6th division of the demon lord's army. Where Feya is apart of.
"General, I finally got the crystal you asked me to get" Feya said.
"Oh, yeah I see. You brought the dragon crystal that I told you." The general said then grabbed the crystal from Feya's hands.
"You see, I ordered you to get this dragon crystal about six months ago, when it was still strong and powerful. Now that it has reborn, it's now very weak. There's no use for this crystal anymore." The general said.
"But I saw it with my two eyes. The dragon can move lighting fast and can make strong energy blasts. I'm sure it's power will still be useful" Feya said.
"Nonsense! Dragons in their child form is very weak. I can even defeat one with just one hand. You really are hopeless. As an elite warrior of the demon lord's army, you should be ashamed. but don't you worry, I won't be too hard on you dear. I'll give you one last mission to prove yourself." The general explained.
"What is it you want me to do? Feya asked while the general put his sword near Feya's neck.
"You keep failing me over and over again, So, I want you to bring me the dragon child in two months. If you fail me once more, I'll make you regret it. Do you understand?" The general said after making a small cut on Feya's face.
"Y-ye-s great general" Feya replied stuttering.
