6 Chapter 6: Departure

After the development of their dragon´s breath, Zeldaris and Aversia continued their training and slowly time passed by.

Soon a year passed by and the two changed in more ways then, one.

In this year both had grown, what looked like two horns, on their back and they annoyed the hell out of both.

Because, now they could no longer sleep on their backs, needed to wear clothes that didn´t cover their backs and they needed to be careful when siting on chairs.

Their scales cover now almost their entire arms, partly their necks and faces.

They were able to train their magic control to a high point and could now conjure and control their grey flames at will.

Irene started to teach the two enchant magic and Challot and Emrissen teched them how to survive in the wild and how to hide from dragons.

They also started to help Vulcan with his work.

But not all was good, the dragons of Alakitasia had already arrived in Ishgar and the battle between the two sides would begin in a few days.

Irene´s husband Rung, who was the King of a neighboring country of Dragnof and married her as a means of political negotiation due to territorial disputes between the two countries, held conferences with Irene and the leaders of the other countries about the coming conflict and how they could help their dragons.

On the other hand, Belserion, Challot, Emrissen and other elder dragon´s discussed their strategies for the battle and how they were going to deal with their superior numbers.

Although the dragons of Alakitasia had the number advantage, they weren't organized and a good part of them were young.

Ishgar´s dragons were more organized, thanks to Belserion and Irene, who both had quite the reputation and the fact that Challot and Emrissen were going to participate and most of the dragons were afraid of them and they turned into obedient children.

As a precaution, they agreed to unseal Aversia and Zeldaris power a little more.

That is why Aversia, Zeldaris, Challot, Emrissen, Vulcan, Irene, Belserion and Rung were in the courtyard and preparing for the release.

Both Aversia and Zeldaris were this time more confident and were mentally prepared.

They sat down on the ground and Irene was again standing between them.

She put a hand on each head and focused.

And just like last time both felt a huge amount of power rushing through their bodies, they grid their teeth's and their body´s started to tremble, because of the pain.

Although, both had improved tremendously and were better prepared, they needed to gain control over the new released power and cep control over the already released power.

But it was still easier than the first time, because their will was firmer.

Rung watched this with an interested look, while everyone else looked worriedly at the scene.

This continued for 20 minutes, until they finally started to gain control over the rampaging power.

It took another 5 minutes to completely gain control over it and just like last time, the gray flames appeared again.

But this time they appeared behind the two half dragons and formed the silhouette of two dragons and as they appeared the silhouettes roared to the sky, creating a shockwave and sent Vulcan, Irene and Rung flying, but they were saved by the three dragons.

Unlike the first time the two dragon silhouettes continued to roar for several minutes and released a pressure that created a web of cracks in the ground.

After they finished roaring, they turned their heads to the two half dragons and entered their bodies through their backs.

Seeing the dragon silhouettes, made of fire, enter their bodies, everyone was shocked speechless.

After they entered their bodies, both fell to the ground started to pant.

They didn't fell unconcise this time, but they were completely exhausted and bathed in sweat.

Challot and Emrissen ran to their children and checked for injuries.

They sighed in relief when they saw that they were only exhausted.

Irene, Belserion and Vulcan sighed as well, while Rung covered his mouth so that no one could see the big smile on his face.

He quickly walked away, while thinking, no one noticed him leaving, since everyone was focused on the two half dragons.

Challot and Emrissen helped the two stand up and helped them to their beds, where they fell asleep the second their heads touched the pillows.

After they brought the two to bed and walked back to the courtyard, did the four of them discus what they saw and what it could mean.

"What were these two dragons and why were they able to form a body this time?" asked Irene.

"I am not certain; it could have multiple reasons, but what is more important is that they didn´t vanish like last time but entered their bodies." Said Belserion.

"Maybe they entered their bodies the first time as well. Afterall, we couldn´t see anything through that see of flames." Said Vulcan.

"Probably, but what concerns me is Rung, he left while we were checking on the two." Said Challot.

"Maybe he had to do something? Although I am married with him, I don´t know much about him and since we both have our countries to rule, I can´t spend much time with him. So, I can´t really help." Said Irene in a depressed tone.

"I don´t trust him." Said Emrissen.

"I agree, but we can´t do much right now. We are departing tomorrow for the battle and we don´t even know if he is planning anything bad to begin with." Said Belserion.

Everyone agreed with Belserion and they continued their conversation.

The next day Belserion, Challot, Emrissen, Irene, Rung and Vulcan were in front of the castle and the three dragons were preparing their departure.

Aversia and Zeldaris were still fast asleep and no one wanted to wake them up.

"Please be safe Belserion." Said Irene

"Don´t worry, I am not going to die that easily and I will defend our bonds."

"Go find a room you two love birds." Yelled an annoyed Challot.

Irenes and Belserions faces turned bright red.

"Emrissen, you and Challot need to be careful and come back in one piece." Said Vulcan.

"Shouldn´t you be more worried about your own wife? I was expecting something more romantic." Said Emrissen in a playful tone.

"Hahaha, since when were both of us the romantic type and besides, I am more concerned about your enemy´s than you. Although I want you to remember that I will always be there for you and will always be waiting for you."

Now it was Emrissen´s turn to get bright red and hugged him.

"You really are more than I deserve."

And the two started to kiss.

"Not you two too. Why can´t I find a nice guy?"

"Because you have terrible taste in man."

Hearing this Challot became depressed and sulked.

After Everyone finished their goodbyes, Belserion took to the sky and waited there for Challot and Emrissen.

Challot and Emrissen turned around to look at the castle one more time before deactivating their spell.

A bright flash appeared, and the two-woman transformed into two giant dragons, one black and one silver.

Challot and Emrissen took to the sky and together with Belserion flew to the west of Ishgar.
