Tales from the Moon: Dragon Legends

After those hard battles that the two groups had faced, each warrior took advantage of the brief period of calm and peace to heal some wounds and rest as much as they could since some lived in constant missions every day. Despite the injuries, some warriors together with the Greater Dragons went to meet in their king's castle in Morkhex, after an important mission like the two that had been fought almost at the same time, to discuss and prepare new plans and structures were vital to prevent future calamities for the most valuable kingdom and its neighbors and allies. The Greater Dragon Magarai was calmer upon learning that her daughter was still alive, even that she had fought with fury and determination as a true warrior, she was shocked As her daughter fought against a great adversary despite her injuries, not everyone can allow herself to let a sword pierce her hand to save herself, she felt somewhat proud of her daughter's courage and hoped that the other dragons would notice the great value of your little one. Magarai was also thinking of reinforcing the affected areas in the armor and improving or implementing some extra features for her daughter, her thought was interrupted when she finally reached the center of the great palace. Several warriors were gathered among them the famous Sur'Xhe commander who seemed to be waiting for her because of the way her gaze focused on her, other warriors had just arrived like Magarai in that luxurious and glorious room. Three dragons were seated at a huge table with small jeweled thrones and items that reflected their races in front of them. They were discussing the conflicts and problems of different parts of the kingdoms and among them those of Morkhex herself, although this was an almost perfect kingdom, she could not escape the conflicts and higher crimes against the kingdom and its crown.

"I see that everyone has arrived, do we start with the meeting?" the terrestrial dragon asked, addressing her two companions of hers, one-winged and the other oceanic.

"I think so, it's not like we expect more warriors here," said the oceanic mockingly.

"The sooner we start, the sooner we finish," said the winged sharpening his back uninterested in this meeting.

"I agree with Sukrez. I Muriany the great advisor of the order of the great queen Erisha, I begin our meeting to discuss the recent events that concern us all" she said in a soft but authoritative voice so that the warriors were silent.

"Ah, great councilors and Queen Erisha?" asked one of the warriors worried about not seeing the queen direct this as she always did "I do not want to disrespect the most important dragons of Queen Erisha's will and trust, but we should not expect the queen to arrive better"

The female earth dragon's gaze is nailed in the direction of the dragon who was disrespectful to her and the advice from their perspective.

"Relaxed Young Relic, if Queen Erisha had wanted to attend, she would have been there long before her council," Raiyut mentions quietly despite the queen's absence.

"The great queen Erisha, mother of kingdoms and dragons has traveled with her personalized royal escort to the outside of Nothul, she is in a search for some ancient treasures that could improve the quality of life of the kingdoms" he mentions while moving a fan the oceanic.

"Exactly as Relzilius said, the queen has started a journey and she has entrusted this enormous responsibility to us until her return" Muriany added calmly and smiling.

"Enough unnecessary words!" the winged dragon fiercely slams the table "We must talk about the battles that were fought last night!" he said between grunt and rage.

"Calm down a little good Sukrez, we know that you must return to your army to protect the good of our kingdom," the dragon tries to calm down without success in his chair "and first the Greater Dragons will give us their report, please Greater Oceanic Dragon Magarai tell us what happened in his fight against the fearsome Captain Rellix"

Magarai takes a step forward clearing her throat, being the strongest and oldest of all the Greater Dragons, it was normal that it was she who should report her participation along with the others of her class.

"You honor me with your invitation Counselor Muriany" she bowed before continuing. "I'm afraid I don't bring good news for you my important leaders" she mentions with displeasure in her voice.

"Don't tell me they let Captain Rellix escape" Relzilius said showing concern that his best warriors would set Morkhex's most wanted enemies free.

"I'm afraid she was never in the battle, it was a trap for the Greater Dragons to seek her decoy instead of supporting the troops defending Morkhex" she said with an annoyed growl.

"Still, how did you handle the situation?" asks Muriany interested in the events.

"It was a disaster, at first it seemed the typical fights that one would expect in a combat between warriors of opposite sides, but out of nowhere our enemies exploded taking a large number of our brave warriors with them" Shortly after that, Commander Sur ' She looked concerned and his gaze reflected his anguish which the ocean race advisor noticed.

"Did something happen Commander Sur'Xhe? Weirdly, the symbol of the pride of the seas and oceans like you reacts like this" Magarai looks at the commander upon hearing that, had something unexpected happened that they should know?

The dragon took a step forward and now taking a voice in the room, she should also report what had happened during their battle.

"The truth is that there were also explosions in our battle my lords" some words were heard from the advisors in response to Sur'Xhe's words, but those that had the greatest effect were the Greater Dragons who lived through the same type of scenarios. in their fight. "The worst of all was when the zombies were used during those explosions, which dangerously spread the curse of the dead on the poor who did not survive that night," said the last sentence with great regret.

"Explosive zombies?! That's absurd!" Sisser exclaimed, unable to believe what she had heard.

The warriors who lived through that fight shared the same information, some did not want to believe it either, and yet what they experienced was a quite atrocious battle. The council along with a few of the gathered dragons realized how aggressive and dangerous Captain Rellix was becoming, first using her men as bomb traps to kill the warriors and Greater Dragons and now what happened against the zombies was without much worse doubt. The idea of using a walking bomb that could transfer the terrifying curse of the living dead was undoubtedly a serious enough topic that they had to discuss and prepare plans and strategies in the face of such an attempted threat in the future, you never know when the dreaded Captain Rellix he would try the same tactic with the zombies again, this assumption was because those who could control the zombies had not been found and that was a fear that they could not ignore.

As the dragons continued to discuss and assess the situation, Alexandra was looking at the stone that had the names of all the fallen carved on it. Those warriors would be remembered by all the young dragons and future warriors who passed through that place, they would be able to see the names of those who died to keep the peace of Morkhex, she wanted to be happy for the victory of the kingdom, but the fact that losing his best friend was hard for him to accept. That dragon always went on dangerous missions with her guild and came back to tell her about the missions, the adventures, and the fights that Kaipo faced now this time, things were different and now he would not return.

"You were the best warrior and friend I could ask for, I will miss you very much, I love you friend" she made a prayer joining her hands so that the soul of her friend would give strength and power to the dragons that continued to live.

"I heard you would be here and I wanted to see how you were?" Alexandra turns to see Ssaull who was disguised with a hood and mask that covered his skeletal features. "This mmm was someone very important that you lost right?" Ssaull carefully approached the human trying to be empathetic with the human, those signs of weakness were unpleasant, but she was her friend and she had to be there for her.

"His name was Kaipo, he is or was a dragon of the terrestrial race, he was a level, four warriors, in the Flaming Scales guild and my best friend in the whole world but now, he left and will never return" she closed her eyes Holding back the urge to cry, feigning his fists and shaking in pain, the dragon remembered how he had treated many of his boys in the past when he was the leader of a guild.

Many mourned the loss and death of a friend or loved one in combat, and many times Ssaull had to be disciplined. Every warrior is supposed to be aware of it and not suffer from something that could happen to anyone, but he recalled his own experiences of pain and the desire to cry for someone who was dying and that he held dear.

"He died protecting the innocent and weak, so this, you must be happy that he died for a noble cause," she said moving closer to the human's side.

"I know he died with courage and honor, many tell me either out of kindness or to stop whining, but I can't help but feel bad when someone important to me died," he hugs himself to console himself. "It's fucking, you know, losing those you care about and no matter how much you tell yourself that death is a natural part of life, you still can't help but suffer for the death of your loved ones."

She now approaches Ssaull to hug him looking for more comfort in him since he needed a friend by his side, although Ssaull was not Kaipo, he was also his friend at a certain point, ally, and companion, the blue dragon becomes tense because of that, but the hug also corresponds. For him this felt so similar to his friend Rebecca of his, she also sought comfort in him, Ssaull had to understand and take care of the feelings of those who mattered to her.

"I'm sorry about your friend Alexandra, I know that death is natural among warriors, but it always hurts to lose someone important. But hey friend, according to you humans, beings with good hearts even after death will be there to continue taking care of us and supporting us. For the dragons once dead, your soul will only fuel the fire of the hearts of the living dragons, but you believe in life even after death and I think that is more hopeful than being the fuel of others "he notes as she hugs him tighter."Ah sorry if I said something wrong, I don't know what I was saying and only me ..."

"Thank you Ssaull, you are the only one who for now has given me support and different words for my pain. Thanks, friend" the dragon smiled when he saw her more cheerful than the human, he was not good with these things but strangely he always felt quite good help.

"By the way, you mentioned that I was the only one who gave you comfort, what about your mother?"

"War declaration?" Many wondered at such a statement.

"Yes," The female dragon from the council expressed with just that word. "It is quite obvious that the attack on Morkhex and the fact that a decoy from Captain Rellix was knowing that we would send the Greater Dragons to their capture or execution without hesitation, they are all these elements makes us reach that conclusion" the other two Council dragons agreed with her and demonstrated it with comments.

"But now? Can we take this as a declaration of war?" This type of comment was heard from among the warriors.

"Think about it for a moment. Ever since we met this nefarious warrior, she had always been quite cautious in her attack on the crown and the council" Sukrez said irritably.

"Even when she started having her followers and her army, she was always calmer and less violent in her attacks. At least she was like that until now" said the oceanic dragon pouring himself a glass of wine in front of him. of all.

"What do you think will become of our future, my lords?" Magarai asked respectfully.

"It's a bit unsafe to say for sure, not before looking at Marilie's oracles. We should go check with them a bit to see what the fate holds for Morkhex and the other kingdoms." She extends a scroll to Magarai, that dragon takes it "Please Magaria convey this message and be quick but cautious before the enemies you may encounter" Muriany ordered the great Magarai who bowed as a sign of respect.

"We will also have to go to prepare new plans and strategies for our troops and support the other warriors and kingdoms," the winged dragon of the council declared in an aggressive and authoritarian way.

"The meeting is over and everyone is blessed by Mother Desthy" everyone leaves, ending the meeting with the council.

The female dragon walked saving the scroll for her journey to her native home, not if before she first ran into a hooded dragon who collides with her.

"I'm sorry I was distracted" she apologizes helping to lift the dragon, when moving her tunic notices blue scales with hints of bones on them.

"Magarai we must speak now," Ssaull said with a serene demeanor.

"No you, I thought a miserable vermin like you would stay hidden when we don't arrest you" she lets him fall to the ground again.

"I would make it clear, but first I must talk to you about an important issue" in one movement he stands up and adjusts her disguise.

"Whatever you want, I bet it's nothing important" She with a quick walk tries to get away from the nasty dragon. It was terrible enough that by a damn code of Greater Dragons he escaped, for her the less she observed him, the better she would be.

"Maybe nothing that has to do with me is important, but what if it has to do with Alexandra?"

Magarai stops in his tracks turning quickly to see that annoying dragon. If she had to do with her daughter, even if it was a possible lie, Magarai was willing to listen to him as long as she knew what was going on with her little girl without her scales.
