Tales from the Moon: Dragon Legends

Magarai was traveling to her hometown Rexn-Laigun accompanied by her daughter, this was due to the advice of Ssaull, that female dragon of the oceanic race remembered how this cursed dragon boarded her in the palace of Morkhex and how he had the nerve to speak about her daughter with her. It gave the dragon a terrible stomach ache from sharing the same room to talk with a traitor, miserable and liar like that blue dragon, but in the end, he was right during that unexpected meeting they had, Alexandra seemed somewhat off and down since she lost to her best friend she didn't look like herself and that worried the dragon. Magarai had even remembered those annoying words released by him.

"You are a great warrior and not a hundred dragons will be able to compare to your strength, but you are also a mother and your daughter seeks comfort from someone close. You must speak with her and be that comfort for her". She wondered how he knew Alexandra? He had disappeared before the oceanic dragon adopted the human when she was a baby, and only the Greater Dragons close to her along with Morkhex's advisor knew of her life as the mother of a human, she would have to find out later, for now, his duty was to deliver the messages to the Marilie's oracles.

The trip would be a bit long and once reached a certain point Alexandra would not be able to accompany her, the lack of the ability to breathe underwater and how very attached those dragons are in the place with certain traditions and formalities of the kingdom, would make it difficult for them to Alexandra could walk in the kingdom calmly if the subject of oxygen was not an inconvenience. Even if Ssaull was right, the trip on the way to Rexn-Laigun would be a chance to support her, and since Magarai knew better than anyone certain secret havens that she and some trusted friends had built in the past, she could let her daughter wait for her in the past. those points. Even if the two of them traveled in lizard beasts, the fastest means of transportation in the different kingdoms, they would still have six hours to talk and relieve the wounds of her little girl.

"Doesn't this remind you of when we traveled together to neighboring towns? You were a little girl and you could sit in front of me and go riding with horses and beast lizards like now" Magarai looks at her daughter waiting for an answer from her.

"If I suppose it is similar in that aspect, I also remember that you played with me that we were on a secret mission and that only the two of us could fulfill it haha" Alexandra responds happily but she still looked down and sad.

"Yes, I remember that game, many who saw us were confused and thought that if we were on a dangerous mission to the end of the world and they were alarmed hahaha" Magarai wipes a tear of laughter remembering how a baker tried to escape with his family for the mountains because of her and her daughter. "Now look at us, eleven years later and now we are traveling on a mission that could be crucial for our home and other kingdoms" the dragon laughs again but noticing the silence of her daughter stops looking at her worried.

Alexandra was observing a point of the great grass field to which Magarai looks in the same direction and notices how several small dragons played and became friends. With the life that dragons had as warriors, creating strong bonds was not something very common among them, but this was because even if they lost someone, they always met someone new and so they got used to life, however, Alexandra He always appreciated, valued and tried to take care of his friendship with the only dragon that wanted to be his friend as much as he could. She knew that her daughter understood these types of things, but she was not a dragon and she considered that this type of emotional attachment was because she was human, what could you tell a daughter about the death of a friend in the middle of a mission?

"Kaipo was and will always be remembered as an important dragon," she said to her daughter.

"I know, he was a great warrior who died defending the innocent," she responds without looking at her mother. "They all say that as if it were a consolation."

"I don't mean just that," the human turns to see her mother intrigued to know what she was referring to "She was also a great friend of the family, I support you when no one else wanted to support you, it was the only dragon that helped you to learn our cultures and he always helped me to keep you away from danger. Kaipo had the best heart I have ever seen and like you, it hurts me that he died "he said with a melancholic tone. Both females would miss the young earth dragon who was Alexandra's best friend and the great guardian that Magarai could entrust with the safety of her little one. Life wouldn't be quite the same without him, but they would find a way to move on and honor his memory forever.

"By the way daughter, speaking of warriors and adventures, how about your warrior life so far? According to my good friend Sur'Xhe, you are a warrior worthy of praise and pride for how you fight" mentions the dragon.

"If I'm honest, this is all like a lot of mother shit" replied the human.

"Daughter that word!" she watches in amazement at her daughter's vocabulary.

"What!" the human reacts to her mother's response "I am a warrior and I was almost killed on more than one occasion by both enemy and supposed allies. I think I can afford to say some rudeness" she answers, smiling smugly at her mother. "Seriously speaking, life as a warrior turned out to be more difficult than what you and the masters told me, maybe because I'm a human."

"I don't think so, all dragons have gone through hell to become strong warriors. I'm telling you, it wasn't easy at all to become a Greater Dragon," she said showing some scars on her tail.

"But Commander Sur'Xhe doesn't seem to have a single visible wound or scar" Alexandra recalled when she first saw him, she looked like she had never raised a sword in his life.

"Don't be fooled by that daughter, no one reaches the top without receiving a cut, no one except a stupid dragon known as Ssaull" Magarai said, feeling chills when saying his name.

Alexandra remembered the blue dragon of the skeletal race, if what her mother said was true, then Ssaull had enjoyed a long history of untouchable warrior or that was until he and Alexandra had come into contact by whims of destiny, since their First mission with that guild that expelled her and the near-fatal journey they took when she tried to return home to Shairum, Ssaull had suffered several injuries and possibly would have one or two scars somewhere on her body that she may hide.

"I think that streak is over" she whispered to herself without her mother noticing.

"Easy daughter, I know that one day you will be a Greater Dragon like me or even better than I am" the human could not believe her mother's comment.

"What do you say? If for a dragon as strong as you the path of a Greater Dragon is too rough. What opportunities do I have to be?" she comments with a low voice. "From the first mission, I could realize how pathetic I am compared to the others. Even Kaipo, who was more experienced and a good warrior than me, died. I'm just lucky to get out alive in each mission or combat and at some point, it will end. "

Alexandra felt quite bad with reality, she was naive in believing that she would be a great warrior like her mother, like her friend, or any good warrior of hers. If it weren't for the fact that she had a sacred relic of Mother Desthy, she would not have noticed the assassination attempt on her person, she could not cast more than two spells, and much less she would not be able to overcome certain combats since during the mist, she felt that she had a kind of psychic eye that allowed her to attack without seeing. As she could call herself being a great warrior if she cannot do half that of her peers without requiring aids or certain sacred advantages, she was very bothered by these thoughts and feelings, but she couldn't help feeling that way. Alexandra without noticing it had been surrounded by the tail of her mother who lowered the speed of her beast lizard to keep up with her daughter.

"Hey, my dear baby why those waters in your eyes?"

Comments the female dragon trying to make her daughter feel better, she remembered how Alexandra when she was three years old every time she sought comfort or protection, the little human sought to hug or be hugged by her mother's tail, as she was always wet, it kept cool and was relaxing for the human.

"I know that you are not a dragon-like us and I know that all the difficult road that we all go through, for you it will be ten times worse, but my dear daughter," Magarai holds her daughter with her tail very lovingly. "I know you can achieve a lot if you put your mind to it, my daughter, I remember that when I was young I had to make difficult decisions, I also had to see how reality was much more challenging than what my parents, teachers, and warriors superior to me had taught me. ".

"But in the end, you managed to be a Greater Dragon, you became recognized and respected by many, you are even the strongest of the Greater Dragons of the different zones." Alexandra strokes the tail of her mother remembering the past when she was a little girl. "On the other hand, I hardly have achieved the recognition of some and the friendship of a few. I doubt very much that Queen Erisha will give me the title of a Greater Dragon like the other dragons, even if she tried hard," she emphasized in a pessimistic tone.

"Do not say that of course that you will be a Greater Dragon my girl" she replies, disagreeing with the human's word.

"Do not say foolishness!"

Magarai observes the reaction of her daughter, surprised, rarely did the young human has moments of outbursts against her, her mother. She remembered Ssaull's words, thanks to him she had learned what had happened to her daughter during the trip in Rulliam. She could not believe it, someone had attempted and conspired against her daughter, they must be lies from the simple and pathetic dragon that abandoned his guild and kingdom, but when he showed a certain mystical object, everything was clear to her, Ssaull advised him that they did not talk about it without hoping that it was their daughter who would initiate this conversation.

"Not even the blows, burns, or scars that I got my training with you and the other dragons are comparable to that of betrayal, the constant hatred for being different and because no one wants to trust me, even if I can prove my worth." The female dragon expected to see her daughter cry again, but nothing happened, the human looked sad but she did not shed tears as she did when something affected her a lot.

"Daughter," said the dragon in distress when she saw her daughter feel that way.

"Despite everything, I'm still trying for what?" She looks at the ocean dragon she was upset, frustrated, and tired of everything. Her gaze did not reflect someone who wanted to give up, but she no longer knew how to continue. Magarai felt the pressure that Alexandra felt like a warrior, as a living being that barely knew part of the world and that she still had to know.

Despite being little that she knew, she was hit hard by everything, this was good from the perspective of a warrior, if she managed to overcome everything she would be a strong warrior, but at the mother level, she knew that this was too overwhelming for a girl sixteen years old. I had to better understand how to handle this well, dragons usually overcome this easily because they always wanted to be proud of their ways and embraced their challenges as strong and prosperous warriors, but Alexandra was not a dragon and what little Magarai handled of human feelings always it was a great challenge for the ocean dragon. Being the mother of a creature different from her species had turned out to be her greatest challenge, many times she felt that she had to give up because she did not know what she was doing, but when she saw those blue eyes of her little girl, she had the strength to continue, perhaps it was due to A matter of pride or something unknown to her, Magarai only knew that she had to be strong to take care of her daughter and she had to transmit that same strength so that she would not give up.

On the way a female dragon of the skeletal race with green scales and some dark touches in her hair observed the human with some curiosity, it was strange to see a human in the area, although the armor made her look like a dragon of doubtful race, that strange female could still distinguish the exposed skin of certain areas as human. She smiles and cautiously follows the two warriors so she can meet the human.
