XLV. The New Hunt Begins

"Grand Master Rellix" bows a warrior.

"I hope you hear from the human that with my relic of the oceanic" she gets up from her chair leaving aside a map.

"Yes and I think it could be a sign for the glory of her my lady"

The dragon is excited to hear that, she expected to hear that the girl had finally been captured by the Greater Dragons and that the relic was taken from her, she had several spies within that kingdom that was over-confident.

"It seems that this Magarai has been declared as a deserter to the queen and therefore is in a state of search and annihilation due to her strength if she is eliminated, Morkhex and other kingdoms would be easier to conquer if we started to move and take certain checkpoints and enlist new warriors we could .. "

The green earth dragon looks strangely at the captain after noticing that she had turned her back on him and began to hum, the dragon asked for his commander and she points her sword at him a few centimeters from cutting his neck, the dragon was terrified of them to know what that powerful relic was capable of and how its captain with a single whim could kill it.

"I am aware that the damn Magarai is on the black list of the annoying council, but I am not interested in that news, nobody but me will kill that warrior, and anyone who takes that happiness away from me I will make sure that I never know the sweet death because so I will make him suffer eternally "she stops aiming at the dragon. "Attacking Morkhex is not that difficult, with two of the holy relics in my possession it is almost a guaranteed victory, almost" she clarified to the warrior.

"What's stopping us from fully reaching it?" the dragon questions his captain.

"Despite having prepared some plans and movements that allow us to have a great advantage against the enemy, I recognize that Magarai and her convictions can be somewhat annoying for my plans, when she sees that innocent dragons are in danger Magarai will fight against us without hesitation and she is not someone to be taken lightly, she is the best of her generation and a descendant of a founder of the Greater Dragons "

"Even so my lady, she is not a rival of our great number, and even if she were, you have two sacred relics and that makes her more powerful than the oceanic dragon" he clarified confident of the strength of her captain.

"I appreciate that trust my good warrior, but I cannot afford to let myself be carried away by my impulses, we achieved all these thanks to the fact that we were careful, we thought before moving and we handled a line of information that others do not handle, we will continue moving as always and acting carefully so as not to make mistakes "

"Understood. And the girl with the relic of the oceanic? I think we could try to steal it and kill her in the process" said the warrior thinking that this task would be easy.

"I don't think so, we underestimate the human and make a terrible mistake in thinking that she would not know how to handle the relic, it seems that Alexandra dominates her relic"

The dragon did not believe what a human had heard handling a holy relic as if it were a dragon, that was a bad joke not to mention that it was blasphemous to dragons.

"My lady, I do not want to be disrespectful with your position, but the human can't handle the holy relic" Rellix looks at his warrior.

"Believe me I thought the same as you before, according to the new information, the girl handles her relic well enough to see it as a certain threat to us and if she joins Magarai to protect others it could cause annoying problems too"

"Impossible!" the dragon wore an incredulous expression at the information. "Did she manage to subdue the will of the relics?"

"I doubt it" she looks at her sword that steals souls, "it is difficult for me to subdue these relics and I almost risked my life to achieve it, a human-like Alexandra would surely die if she tried something like that"

"Then she.."

The dragon looks at the terrestrial dragon and her gaze was more than enough to imply that the girl had to be worthy and recognized by the relic to be able to use it, this was something impossible to believe, but she had seen enough in her life to be able to accept a possibility, however unlikely it was, after all, when you mix powers, strange creatures like humans and ancient magic, everything could be possible. She couldn't keep seeing the human warrior in the same way, she was considering whether she should attack her now or wait until she had the third holy relic to subdue the human.

"Well she always wanted to be a dragon warrior haha- she starts walking to go meet someone who could help her with that matter.

In the middle of the trip, Alexandra's group discussed the possible place to go now that Magarai and Alexandra could not return without being threatened by each enemy. Ssaull takes out an old map of the lands beyond the kingdoms of Berk'Drac, it was not easy, his map showed nothing but empty places and not populated at all, the blue dragon clarifies that the dragon that gave him this was an explorer with dreams of discovering more due to a relic that he found in an exploration far from his homeland, that this did not necessarily mean that there was no possibility of finding new kingdoms, people or at least a settlement in which to live. It was known that many of the skeletal dragons have risked their lives to find a place where they could live better without the shadow of their flying brothers, oceanic or terrestrial, they hoped to find it also if such a place existed.

"Be careful where you move your tail, you idiot, you get in the way" Magarai ordered after feeling Ssaull's tail on his back more than once.

"I wouldn't bother you with my tail if you just stopped approaching my side of the store, and now when we talk about annoyances stop opening the windows, it's very cold, I'm freezing because of you" the blue dragon complains irritably.

"It is very hot and I have not soaked my scales in water for more than three hours, at least give me a little freshness" demands the dragon.

Even though both dragons had a kind of peace agreement for the duration of the journey, the personalities of both dragons increasingly led them to each ridiculous confrontation which only caused both to seek a sense of control or power over the other.

"It is impossible to live with you!" they both screamed turning their backs.

In the driver's seat, Alexandra and Rophttys could see the discussion of both dragons feeling strangely more mature than both dragons even though they were older than them.

"They are like children," says Rophttys.

"You think" Alexandra responds.

"Damned!"

"Stupid!"

"Ahh! I can't stand it anymore" Rophttys annoyed sticks her head into the store "If they keep acting like this, we better turn it around and go back to Berk'Drac!" she yelled at all annoyed.

"Why the hell would you do that ?!" both dragons yelled.

"I don't know why I thought that would work, they are two dragons, not two little children" the dragon scolds for her bad attempt.

"I think I have an idea"

Using her relic, Alexandra manages to tie both dragons tightly and be close enough to each other so that they look at each other's faces uncomfortably. The dragons naturally asked Alexandra why she did it to which she replied only that until the two of them stopped being conflictive the relic will keep them tied to both, they complained, even so, it was the best for everyone according to the girl, she and Rophttys could no longer bear the absurd complaints or fights of both. The oceanic dragon tried to reason with her daughter, but Alexandra being firm in her decision, simply recommended that both dragons begin to get along because she would not release them until it happened.

"What a character Alexandra" the dragon praised impressed.

"Well I have two holy relics I think I can afford to feel something important haha," she says with a laugh with her friend.

"By the way girl" Alexandra looks at her friend. "You have thought about talking to your mother about well, you know what it is"

"What topic?" she asked she don't understand the dragon.

"Well you wanted to know about the sin of the Greater Dragon and you asked Ssaull what he knew"

"Yes, and?"

"You don't want to ask your mother about what happened that night from ... er, her perspective" she commented with some delicacy.

"That" the girl's face reflected more anguish than the female. "To be honest, I'm not sure whether to ask my mother about that night as well, most likely she did kill the humans who lived in those times."

"And are you okay with that thought?"

"Good is not the word I would use, but Rophttys" Alexandra looks at the dragon. "What do I tell you? She is my mother, she is my only family and without her, I don't know how I could handle all this without her guidance" the girl takes a little pause. "Before I became a fugitive from the law, I trusted an oceanic aunt who loved and appreciated me as a mom, believed in her, learned as best as possible what she will teach me and I treasured spending time with her as well."

"Sounds like you had a cute aunt" Rophttys smiles.

"If I thought so, then one night she tried to kill me by sticking her sword in my side wanting to kill me like the rest of the dragons she knew in Shairum" she places her hand on the place where she had received the attack. "I'm afraid of losing my mother too and realizing that I have no family, I don't remember my human parents and perhaps what I want most is to feel that I still have someone who loves me as his equal, someone to call mother"

The dragon is amazed by what the girl said, she believed that she already knew everything she should know about her friend, but discovered that there were still more layers of the girl to explore and know. Rophttys looks inside the store to see how Magarai and Ssaull kept arguing, focusing their attention only on the oceanic dragon, she knew the dragon very well, she was a cold assassin by nature, or at least that is how she remembered her when she followed the orders of her superiors. However, Magarai changed drastically by raising a human girl, she was like Ssaull when the dragon had his friendship with a human, no, it was more than that, raising and watching your little one grow, teaching the family legacy, the same values and supporting him when they need you were things that every father experienced with enthusiasm, and it was surprising how the path of motherhood had caused this type of change in a warrior who put her principles as a warrior above all.

"Magarai may have made mistakes in the past, yet you still have a good mother friend."

At the borders, several teams of dragons were preparing to go hunting Magarai with his daughter, after the time that the dragon had taken to respond they assumed the worst, Magarai deserted and betrayed his principles to the kingdoms and it was time to treat her properly. Sukrez would be the one who would lead a battalion of ten teams of dragons made up of twenty expert dragons in advanced combat, Nemari along with two other Greater Dragons would accompany this movement among other dragons, even Commander Sur'Xhe would attend at this crucial moment to recover one of the holy relics before the human continued to stain Mother Desthy's legacy with her hands.

"Why should we stay under surveillance?" Trilliux questions annoyingly.

"You already heard the friendly council, because two of us betrayed the kingdom and decided to act in their interests, it was necessary to keep ourselves in check for a while to make sure that we do not manifest the same tendencies or behaviors" Sisser reminds her friend leaning on the wall behind her.

"But we are not traitors! We are neither Ssaull nor Magarai!" the dragon explodes aggressively at the treatment he now had to submit to.

"It was either that or accept the treason charges that we didn't commit." She stares at the ceiling. "It seems that now if we want to regain our honor we will have to follow everyone's orders like obedient little dogs with a happy tail"

Trilliux sits down next to his friend and slams the wall hard, annoyed that he can't do anything to prove his worth now and clear his name and glory tainted by both dragons. Sisser closes her eyes connecting to several of her special eagles that flew at different points hoping that at least one of the ten birds would locate Magarai or Alexandra, near the outskirts of the kingdom she could see a mobile tent that fit the description of the transport that Ssaull usually uses to move when she makes her bird fly near the store she notes how a green skeleton dragon and Magarai's daughter were in the driver's seat, she wondered if Magarai was with her until the oceanic dragon sticks her head out to speak with your daughter.

"I found you Magarai"

It was what the winged dragon thought when locating the fugitives, she would not say anything, when the surveillance time passed she and Trilliux would personally look for both of them and annihilate them if necessary to fix all the errors of the oceanic and also take advantage of eliminating Ssaull having been the first to lead the Greater Dragons of the north astray
