"Igor! Wait up, you are walking a bit too fast". says Barbara.
"No, you are the one walking slow ". Igor replied
"Jeez , i know where we are going is important but aren't you taking it on your head a bit too much ". Barbara said.
"Taking it on my head? What does that mean ". Igor asked pouting.
Barbara smiled and said: "look at everyone around us, they have given up on who they were and have accepted their new life, most even prefer their present body than before ".
"So you are saying we should drag this matter, you know with the way things are as they are, there is bound to be trouble in the nearest future ". Igor said.
"No, I'm saying don't carry the task on your head, you are not alone, there are four of us, well soon five ". Barbara replied.
"Well...".
*Bang!!!*
*Crash!!!*
A loud explosion occurred in a distance, causing shockwaves to follow. Dust and smoke were spewing into the air, it was hard to tell what caused the explosion _ not until a gigantic arm of a beast was visible.
Soon the dust and smoke cleared, and a gigantic green scaled dragon with glowing furnace in its mouth came to sight. With no second thought, everyone starts to scamper around.
"It's a dragon run"!!!
"Argh"!!!
*Screams*!!!
Frozen on the spot with dark expressions, Barbara and Igor were petrified.
"A dragon! What is a dragon doing in the middle of the city". Barbara said out loud and couldn't hide her fear.
"That's a Swampigon, what is it doing all the way here in the city shouldn't it be in the swamps". Igor said petrified by the sight.
"Igor, let's go away from here or we will be caught in a stampede ". Barbara yelled as she held Igor by his wrist drags him running.
"Barbara we have to do something, we can not let it go on a rampage". Igor said.
"What! Do you want to go to the grave so soon, that is a gigantic matured dragon, not small or juvenile. You will only get yourself killed ". Barbara replied.
"What about Seraph and count Larmore ". Igor said out of concern.
"Tsk, you shouldn't worry about them, they can fend for themselves well, let us get out of here, we will search for them after the turmoil passes over ". Barbara replied him.
Igor frowned his face, obviously not satisfied leaving things as they were. Forcefully, he retracted his hand from Barbara's grip.
"You can leave without me, Barbara, i can't just stay around letting a beast go rampage destroying properties and lives".
"My initial goal was to revert us to our usual self and protect my sister and our nation. This is one of the jobs i tasked myself on doing after signing the contract with Valier, bye Barbara ". Igor said as he ran towards the dragon.
Barbara was stunned with Igor's words and actions, she stood still for some seconds before coming back to her sense
"Igor wait! wait!!". She cried.
Running as fast as he can towards the dragon against the direction of every panicking person, Igor kept running despite being slowed down by the multitude, but his eyes soon caught something.
He saw a man dressed in a hooded black rope standing still in the midst of running multitude watching the dragon go on a rampage, destroying everything on sight. Igor would have sworn he saw the man smirk under his hood.
'what is with that person, why is he standing in the midst of running people watching the dragon'. Igor thought as he kept running.
Then he felt something familiar but different coming from the hooded fellow. Igor turned he head to look at the person but this time, the hooded person looked back at him straight in the eyes.
Igor looked back at the hooded person whose face he couldn't see and right before his eyes, the hooded fellow disappeared among the crowd. Igor couldn't believe what just happened and was left stunned for a moment.
He came back to his sense and resumed his business but he couldn't shake off the memory of what just transpired.
'i knew there was going to be more people like us but... He is suspicious, i hope he isn't related to this incident and also, i want to meet with him '. Igor thought.

Slowly getting up from the floor, Seraph looked at the dragon and became frightful.
"What is a dragon doing in the middle of the city". Seraph said asking herself.
She soon shook away her fright, right now she has to look for her partner _ Larmore.
'how can i look for someone in this disaster '. Seraph thought looking lost.
Then she remembered something, everyone of them is connected to each other because of their connection with Valier. She regained her composure and ran towards an abandoned building.
She entered the building and could see people hiding there. She doesn't mind, it is not like they will disturb her. She sat on the floor crossing her legs and began concentrating.
She closed her eyes trying to focus on the energy that is very similar to hers.
'bingo'. She thought as she soon found a energy, green energy similar to hers. She stood and started to follow the trail of the green energy.
Beyond the street of the running crowd, away from the surrounding buildings, Seraph followed the energy trail and found Larmore on a building.
She became speechless and stunned seeing him.
"How? What made you like that". Seraph could not help but ask.
"You wouldn't believe me if i told you" Larmore replied
