After a long and fun conversation, the two of them finally run out of things to say, and ended up staring at each other in silence, not having a single thing to add
Until Alpha spoke " hey, Ignell, I already told you that I'm trying to get back my memories, or even go back to my original world if I could, but how about you, do you have any goals you wanna achieve?"
"A goal huh? Well I don't know about a goal but, I do have a dream, I had a dream, one that can never be achieved"
As she said those words, she begun sulking, and burying her face deeper between her knees, as if remembering memories she didn't wanna keep
" *Had* you say? *never* you say! you're speaking as if your dream is impossible to achieve, need I remind you that my dream is to cross to a whole different world!? I would say my dream is even more impossible than yours, and it's not like you're all on your own you know, I'm here with you, remember? Who knows, I might be able to do something about it"
Ignell wasn't so sure about that, her dream wasn't easy to say the least, but then again, Alpha was a high human, maybe he can do something about it after all, so she mustered whatever courage she had and told him
Apparently, after she was looked down at by society, she didn't immediately give up, she wanted to prove everyone wrong, she wanted to prove that she wasn't a good for nothing, she wanted to prove that she was still a genius, so she set her eyes on the highest point she could see, she wanted to join the dragon council!
But it wasn't an easy position to get to, only the most powerful dragons can get to it, and for a youngling like her, she had a long way to go
Now armed with an iron will, and a dream to fulfill, she embarked on a journey with a single purpose in mind, getting stronger!
She traveled from forest to forest, mountain to mountain, high in the sky, low under the see, challenging everyone she saw, hunting everything she found
Then after decades of adventuring, she returned home, proud! With her head held up high, with only one thing in her eyes, the dragon council!
She flew above the dragon ravine, her place of birth, and landed swiftly in front of the council, it was a wide open area, with five carved out cliffs on the side, each one of them had a large dignified looking dragon sitting on top of them, she stepped forward and fearlessly declared
"I'm here to join the council !"
After she shouted those words, all the dragons in the area shifted their attention towards her and started gossiping
"Who's that?"
"Is she an idiot? Not anyone can join the council"
"Is she strong?"
"No way look how small she is"
"Maybe she has something up her sleeves?"
"Does anyone recognize her?"
The gossips kept on going and getting louder and louder, with no sign of stoping, until one dragon among the crowd spoke
"Wait ! Isn't that the good for nothing prodigy?"
"That's her?"
"What happened to her? "
"I thought she left for good?"
"Then why did she return?"
"Wait, did she say she wanted to join the dragon council?"
"Wait for real?"
"She's crazy!"
"Does she have a death wish or something?"
The gossips that were loud before were now getting even louder, and something had to be done to stop them
"SILEEEEEEEEEENCE !"
A loud roar was heard, shaking everyone in the crowd, putting an end to their noise! Then five large looking dragons came out, it was the council members!
Not wanting to let the useless gossips continue, one of them stepped forward and said "so, you're the one that wishes to join our council, very well, state your name! And we shall judge wether you are worthy or not"
"I don't have a name!" She said "but I'm known by many titles, The nightmare of the forest! The mountain lord! The sky terror! And the deep see king!"
After she said those words everything went silent for a second, then the gossips that had been stopped before continued
"Did she really just say that
"And I thought she had something up her sleeves"
"What a waste of time"
"For a second their I thought she got stronger"
"What did you expect? Once a waste always a waste"
And once again, someone had to stop it before it got too loud
"Did our dragon council really drop that low?" one of the five council members said as he stepped forward "to think a nameless brat wants to join our ranks! Girl, go back before you get hurt!"
The dragon wasn't holding back and was openly agressive, but Ignell wasn't gonna back down either
"Don't you dare underestimate me!" she yelled back at him with her wings wide open and her head held up high, showing that she's not someone to be pushed around " do you think I got those titles by lazing around! If there is anything I'm confident about then it's my strength! And if you don't believe it then try me! Then we shall see who would really end up hurting them self"
Ignell was fairly confident about her self, and after her statement, everyone begun moving back with a worried look on their faces, but not because of her
The large dragon that was telling her off, was now showing his fangs, his claws piercing the rocks underneath, his body looking distorted from the heat emmeted from it, then he said
"Good, very good, to think that our almighty council is being looked down on by a no name dragon. REDICULESS ! if you can't learn your place on your own then I shall teach it to you!"
That was it! that was what Ignell was waiting for! A fight to show her strength!
She quickly got in position, her head low, her wings to the back and her legs spaced out, ready to take or dodge whatever attack the other one had in mind, but he didn't jump at her, he just stood in place and began chanting
" Oh great fire of hell, lend me power! lend me your flame! LET ME SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD THE TRUE MEANING OF INFERNO!" Along with his chant he spread out his wings and two magic circles appeared on them, then immediately moved to his neck "hell fire, BREATH !" He opened his mouth and a huge beem of flames shot out of it at an incredible speed!
Without having the time to dodge, Ignell had to take the full attack head on! she ended up roaring, shrieking and screaming from the extreme heat and pain, her fire resistant body was close to useless in this situation, even the rocks beneath her started melting causing her body to slightly sink in them
The onlookers were stunned by the horrible scene in front of them, by the terrifying noises Ignell was making, all of them except for one
"Ignis stop ! Your going too far!"
The dragon that spoke to Ignell first dashed forward and hit Ignis to the side "Evelyn go tend to the girl, Desmond dispurse the crowd Obsidian get Ignis to the back, we can't let this mess continue any further!"
As soon as he finished giving out his orders, everyone got to work on them and the situation was quickly put under control
Ignell was dragged out of the molten rocks she was in, barley staying conscious, then Evelyn emidiatly begun her treatment
She spread out her wings, covering the patient in front of her, then just like Ignis, she begun chanting "Oh beautiful light, show us your gentle touch, and relieve this poor dragon of their misery, healing light!"
Two magic circles appeared on the underside of her wings and began to shine, moments after, she retracted them back, and Ignell was seen slowly getting up
