Contract with compatriots

Lize and Etham went inside for a long time, it seems that the deeper the gold goes, the colder the air is, which is a sign that the dragon egg is right ahead. But then Etham sighed wearily, noticing that the child looked weak, so she picked the child up and hugged him.

Etham blushed at the strange girl, although he had already met Alter, the scent was somehow familiar. It reminded him of Lize, seeing him for a short while but gave him a very warm feeling.

I don't know when the baby fell asleep in her lap, it looks pretty cute.

For a child this was too much to bear, but even she herself was showing signs of fatigue.

After walking for a long time, there was a bright light ahead, it was an egg the size of a football. Lize finally found it.

<Now what?>- Lize

<Give it your blood, that's the fastest way to contract the dragon>- Treachery

<Like forcing a contract?>- Sloth

<I thought you knew about this?>- Treachery

Lize put down Etham and she held the knife in her hand to cut the skin causing blood to flow from it, put her hand on the egg, it received her blood, Lize could feel the blood slowly withdrawing from her body very fast. The dizziness from anemia began to make her tired, at the same time the egg had received enough of her blood.

A dragon tattoo appears on her back, proving the contract has been fulfilled.

The egg began to crack, signaling that it was about to hatch, and the top of the egg broke open, and out from inside was a black lizard-like creature with purple eyes sparkling like amethyst. It yawned for a long time as if it had been asleep for a long time, Lize's body leaned on the stone platform to rest, she was still dizzy after giving the egg a lot of blood.

The lizard stared at her then exhaled.

"You're my master aren't you. I didn't expect you to be quite brave to give me your blood to force me into a contract with you. I commend it, but that act is really stupid, you I don't have any strength right now so I can kill you now"- Dragon

"Nothing has already betrayed the master. It seems that the Paradox entity is not very good at teaching pets?" - Lize

"You...how do you know the master?! It's the only entity I pledge allegiance and devotion to, how dare you say insulting words to that entity!"- the dragon shouted.

"Then let me tell you who I am. Oh no, who are we" - Lize

The dragon was about to rush forward to bite Lize.

She raised her hand towards the dragon startling it, immediately the dragon found itself in a large space with sky-high pillars, the floor was tiled like a chessboard, itself in the center of space. It doesn't know that it's in trouble with the other two "herself".

The dragon sensed that something was wrong and heard footsteps coming, it was Lize but there were two people, one with purple eyes and one with mint eyes.

"Aren't you ..."

"Long time no see. You're pathetic in that small form, aren't you?" - Treachery

"How pitiful you are" - Sloth

"Without masters, do you bring yourselves down to serve others? Who is the pitiful one?"

"Shut your mouth, useless lizard, before the Paradox entity disappeared, you weren't there. What is loyal to master?" - Sloth

"Looks like I have to prove how loyal I am to my master. I'll show you the true power of the dragon lord, a true king!!!"

With that said, the dragon grew larger, and Treachery and Sloth looked at each other and smiled. Looks like they have to let the lizard know who is the owner and who is the pet.

Outside, Lize leaned on Etham's side to rest, she didn't expect to lose this much strength, it would be okay to take a short nap, but what if the other knights discovered her. But before he could do anything, his eyes closed because he was too tired.

Outside the cave, the knights hurried back to the cave, after chasing the fake, they realized they had been tricked. When returning to see signs of intruders, their captain ordered to go inside to blockade to prevent the enemy from escaping.

"Captain, found the bodies of two guards in the pit!"

"Captain, the church people are nowhere to be seen, seems to have gone inside with the enemy"

"In the name of the gods, who dares to desecrate the treasures of the gods?! Quickly arrest that person and give appropriate punishment"

The captain shouted at the riders to run inside, but they didn't notice that a figure had just passed them like a ghost. Only the captain could feel it, he turned towards the entrance of the cave and saw a man holding another in his arms, the beauty of that man was something that had never existed on earth.

That man put his hand on his lips and smiled slightly, immediately the cave shook violently causing it to collapse, the captain only saw the male figure leaving then was buried with the other knights.

The man came to a place not far from the teleportation stone platform to the academy, he immediately placed the person on the ground and pulled down his robe to reveal that it was Lize. The man's hand was about to touch the girl, but it stopped.

"Probably not yet. Can't get close to Paradox yet....Damn it, already so close...."

He immediately turned his back and left, leaving Lize who had just woken up, she looked around and saw that she had come out of the cave.
