Birds chirped in an orange sunset, they flew so high yet they almost stumbled upon a house on a tall mountain, it was where Old Man Tagic and Marco was located.
"So, Marco, tell me, why is it that you came to this world? You knew you were occupying someone else's life with your choice, and yet you still insisted to spend your life here on another world?"
Marco was floating on a flat surface as he sat in the air seeking for concentration...
ā
"WOW! LOOK, BLU! WE CAN FLY!!!"
"Starlight, you can fly remember?"
Moving on to another "bird" was the whole team by Vlera riding on a dragon.
"I never knew you can tame a dragon."
"Well, my Teacher proclaimed that she has the gene of dragons so I mostly inherited her skills and basics towards dragons."
"Ohh, and what about it's Task?"
"This dragon is one of my Teacher's pet, she goes by the name Verr after my name. On her childhood, I always play with her whenever she visits my Teacher's house, but when the Pandraconium started, she was separated from us for her safety, and now, she had the task to help us reach the Dragon's Lair."
"Wow, pretty historic, huh? Then, what do plan next? Use her, maybe?"
"Might be... But of course, my plan was to take a Scale from one of it's dangerous dragons."
The dragon roared as they gets closer to the Dragon's Lair. As they get closer and closer, the more hot it gets, because of this, they were exhausted even before they actually arrived. Minutes have passed and they finally reached their destination. Normally, it would take them 2 and a half days on feet but because of the combined help from all across the places they went, it took them only a day. They left Vonth City in the morning and they reached the Dragon's Lair in the night. They've come a long way to get here, time is unnecessary, action is a must.
"Everyone, let's go."
By Vlera's command, everyone went down from the back of the dragon.
...
10 minutes have passed since they started the mission. Everyone was doing their parts to keep themselves alive.
"Hey, Luke, what do you call this thing? It's... pointy."
"Oh, that's a pen, we use it to write on a paper, look. It's your name, Blu!"
"Hm... I don't seem to understand what you just wrote, well, maybe that's how you write my name in your language."
"*Urk!* Yeah, yes, it is..."
With Blu and Luke doing their most capable part, they provide aid for everyone. To keep Luke from safety, Blu was here for both defense and offence.
"HURRRRAAAAAAHH!!! HAHAHA!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!"
Re demolished everything on her way, so bad that blood rain occurs whenever she killed a dragon. Starlight could be seen in the distance who's somewhat disappointed to Re.
"Hey, Re, we're supposed to keep them alive remember? We don't want to entirely erase their race."
"Starlight, behind you."
As she talked, Vlera suddenly slid behind her telling those words, Starlight looked behind her and saw a dragon charging before her.
"Eh?! Go away!!!"
*ZROOOOM!*
Upon suddenly using her ability, she released a strange force that repelled the dragon away from her. Starlight was surprised of what she just did, so is Vlera as well.
"You...?"
"I... I didn't know I could do that!"
Seconds after the dragon was pushed into a rock, it began to move once again, it put Vlera and Starlight on guard.
"Shit, it's moving again."
"I'll leave it to you, Starlight, there's more coming here."
"Yeah."
As Vlera left, Starlight said,
"Stars: Rainshower!!!"
By her command, two large bright circles appeared beside Starlight, the bright circles then started to fire shard-like stars towards the dragon. Because of the technique's energy, every shard that she fires gives off a weak sonic boom that shakes the ground.
"Heh, who's being reckless again?"
As Vlera watched from above, she saw how Starlight demolished the dragon using her technique, she then returned her focus into herself and saw a dragon approaching her.
"Heh, die!"
*Boom!*
After a kick, a loud sound echoed to the whole place, it was Vlera who just kicked the dragon in the head.
"Heh, if it takes you only a kick, what would happen if I took this fight seriously?"
The dragon fell in bad shape while Vlera landed perfectly.
"Everyone, move forward, we still have a cave to approach."
...
For the first 30 minutes of their arrival, the scene got intense already. As they venture their next step into a large cave, glowing crystals could be seen everywhere and was making the Trio Stars as amazed as they can get.
"Woow! Blu, come here! This crystal is as blue as your eyes!"
"Really?"
As she placed her face besides the crystal, both Re and Starlight was amazed to prove that the crystal and Blu's eyes have the same blue-ness.
"*Sighs* They don't seem like they just massacred large quantity of dragons the way they get carefree so suddenly."
"Get used, maybe because they truthfully once destroyed a planet already?"
"THEY WHAT?!"
"EH-?! NO! I mean, a place! Place!"
"Oh."
As they venture the cave even more, a sudden explosion occured from the deeper part of the cave.
*BOOM!*
"EHH?!" -The Trio Stars
"An explosion?"
Starlight, Blu, Re, and Luke was surprised of the sudden explosion yet Vlera didn't even flinched. Vlera took a candy from her pocket and said,
"Alright, looks like that ingredient was close by!"
Vlera ran and was being followed by everyone else.They were entering in random ways but hesitation couldn't be seen from the whole team. As they get closer and closer, more explosions occur. Everyone was running as fast as they can, but Luke stopped all of a sudden.
!
"Hey, Luke, are you alright?"
"Y-yes, but... thin... noises... I'm hearing it."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Ugh..."
As they approached Luke to ask, it was ended with a frustrated sigh. Luke then told everyone to move forward."
"No, it's okay. Let's move."
"Are you sure? Tell us if you feel uneasy. Blu keep an eye to him."
"Roger, Vlera."
And so, they continued to move forward. It was 5 minutes, all spent by running, they went in circles if not lost, until they stopped when they finally escaped the tight cave.
They finally found the core of the mountain.
"It's so big in here, I didn't know the mountain was this big." -Starlight
"My legs... Impossible... they're... trembling..." -Vlera
"L-l-le..." -Luke
Because of the view, they never avoided to give their opinions, while Starlight gets amazed of how big the place was, Vlera suddenly trembled out of the blue, but for Luke, he suddenly shreds tears.
"LEEEN! LENNY! IT'S ME, LUKE! I FINALLY FOUND YOU!!!!"
Everyone on the team suddenly looked at Luke after he screamed, after realizing what he just shouted, they rapidly turned their gaze from below and they saw not only the powerful dragon Kufhra, but also Lenny as well.
"Huh? Don't tell me... THAT'S LEN?!"
They all said the same line after they all witnessed Lenny who was fighting the Dragon.
ā End of Chapter 21
Uh... Hello? Is anyone here? Everyone know that it's not humane to trap someone in a white room...! Hey! There's a paper in the ground, let me read it.
"Starlight,"
Hey, that's me!
"We would like for this letter to be read by you, by doing so, is how you could get out of the white room. The letter is behind this paper."
