concentrate girl" grandmother shouts as she stand with the support of a stick but still little bend in their backyard, Irie is now fourteen already she has been going through hard training for past two years and by now she has started cultivateing, and now she is trying to extract dragon power which is much harder task.

"breath and try to hear it from within you you know the way just keep trying"

Irie stands straight and loose up her shoulder, tooks a breath in and out then again makes the hand signs and put the legs in proper position.

I can do this the voice inside me...

where is it....can you hear me dragon...

please talk to me....

anyone...ugh...

~h..e..l..l..o.. (an unfamiliar voice echoes in her head)

woh...who's that..are you the dragon?

mr... dragon.....

~irie

yes.. that's..me..

Irie sees nothing just white in front of her eyes

~irie

some one calls her from behind she turns back to find a little dragon in front of her like a baby dragon Irie bend down on her knees to take a closer look indeed a beautiful creature she thought, it has beautiful blue scales and dark sea blue eyes which looks deeper then the ocean and an unknown felling of belonging.

"hello nice to meet you I am Irie what's your name?" she smiles and extends her hand towards him

~name i don't know?

"ah! you don't have a name..?" caressing the little dragons head softly

"then...how about...hmm...'Ryu'... it means dragon"

~ryu...I like it very much....master

"don't call me master just Irie is fine" she laughed awkwardly

~but you are my master and you even gave me a name

" then I will take it back if you call me master again"

~no please maste....Irie

"good boy, I hope we could be good friends in future"

~yes sure we will

then dragon slowly closes his eyes and Irie came back to his sence and by the time she opened her eyes it was raining for some time now and her grandmother is watching her from inside the house.

Irie tilt her head up to feel the raindrops in her face all soaked till bone she looks at the sky "so it is real huh" now she has no doubt about what her grandmother have been told and taught her for so long, but it also means now she has to start taking responsibility for her actions from now on. at that moment she promised herself that she will become more strong and protect the little dragon because he is still a child. they have a long way to go.

From that day onwards she never slack a day off from her training and now she is trying to summon the dragon.

"it will be difficult since this one page is missing I don't know who might have tore it"

Grandmother found the book which was used by Irie's mother to control the dragon power, Irie now is able to extract the energy at some extent but she refused to use any because she didn't want to hurt the dragon.

every now and then Irie try to talk to Ryu who is more then welcoming to her, she has told him all about the world she lives in and the dreams she holds is now Ryu's dream as well that's why Irie want's to summon him so that he could live his own life.

on a fine day the villagers from all around have gathered at the capital of Haimon and Irie is also joining, when she heard they are going to held a fighting tournament she just want to watch it no matter what, in the past her grandmother won't allow her to go but now she is old enough to see it.

they walk in with crowd inside a big stadium with very high walls it was Irie's first time to see something this big from this close, Irie's helps her grandmother walk slowly but steady because they don't want to loose the seats or they have to watch the matches standing.

once the crowd settles down and our lucky Irie and grandmother found a perfect seat in the second row, from where every inch is very clear.

Few minutes later the drums were beat up announcing the arrival of king at his thrown and the whole crowd cheers up "long live the king"

once again when the crowd settles down, the mc came up and every one shut their mouths so that they can hear him clearly.

"ladys and gentlemen I welcome you all in todays event thank you for joining here, now then my lord please give us orders so that we can start this event."

the king didn't said a word just swing his hand to start this event

once agin the drums were beat up with a perfect rythm and they torched a big fire on the very high above the kings thrown

"now that the torch of strength and wisdom is lighten up, let's call our warriors who have participated in this year's tournament with a big round of claps people!"

A big gate at the corner of inside the stadium was opened every one has fixed their eyes on the gate way to welcome them

someone with a sword hanging at his side a simple but elegant attari just like a prince walks in

"look what we have here, the one an only our champion, prince aron" and the people went crazy

"grandma is he really the prince?" Irie asked somehow inbetween the noise

"yes not just prince but he also have been winning from past years and they say thers no one who could defeat him in this life"

"really is he that strong?"

"well we will see about that" she points out towards the field where other compatirors have also arrived and have stand in rows.

"very well, without delay let's being our this year's strongest championship"
