Tales from the Moon: Dragon Legends

After that meeting with the three guild captains, Drigielix's ascent was at stake thanks to his disrespectful behavior towards the reasoning of his leaders. Raiyot and Torx were in doubt as to whether or not to ascend the white dragon, he was about to level up and have the right to be named captain or to attempt to found his guild. Losing him was going to be a heavy blow to the guild due to the talent and strength he demonstrated in past missions, they certainly wanted him as guild captain and thus further expand the guild's power, but any sympathizer of a human being was not very well seen by them.

Kuketzi was upset by the situation, and she blamed the human girl for affecting the fate of her whitish friend, all these years of helping him would be in vain if Drigielix made the mistake of defending or supporting the human again. She couldn't allow it to happen again.

"Alexandra!" the dragon yells, waiting for the human to approach her to speak.

"How can I help you Captain Kuketzi?" bowing Alexandra expected any kind of order, mission, or questions from one of the high leaders of her guild.

The dragon watches the girl for a few seconds, she felt like hurting her for hindering Drigielix's promotion and reputation with the other two captains, but she kept her composure.

"As you already know, in a week, Sub-Captain Drigielix will be evaluated by his performance and achievements with the guild", she mentions calm and firm.

Alexandra smiles for her comrade in arms, Sub-Captain Drigielix was going to rise.

"It is true, in a week it is the ceremony of the warriors who rise to level five" she is excited to see a first promotion ceremony. "He must be very excited to be the fourth captain of the guild, I'm sure everyone considers him a good captain" she happily stated.

Kuketzi coughs a little so that the human finishes speaking and does not interrupt her again.

"If that's what we all think," she says blankly and with an unpleasant expression, which confuses Alexandra, she thought it was good news. "On the eve of the celebration, some boys and I consider it good that you help us search for a treasure or ancient relic in the abandoned lands of Rulliam near the mythical Castle of the Rullians" the female dragon clarifies to the human girl.

"Isn't it a bit far and dangerous?" she asks unsure of her captain's request.

"If it is true that it is something far from our beloved Shairum, but you should not worry about the distance or the danger, we will go the strongest to this task, including me must be more than enough to go and return without problems." The female dragon hoped that with this the human would agree to the trip to the outside of Shairum, however, her face did not seem entirely convinced.

"Didn't they say the same about my first mission?" he responds when he sees his captain "Don't get me wrong Captain Kuketzi, I want to go on the trip that you propose, we just have to be very well prepared. The mission in that town was supposed to be a simple thing with the best guilds, and well it ended. biting our tails without being able to respond well to the threat "

What the human said was true, from the mission in the village, one of the things that human girl learned was not to trust herself too much when she left Shairum, she did not want to meet an enemy too strong and return to your dragon spell.

The dragon thought what to say to convince the human to come with her and hers a group of her dragons, in the middle of the conversation a purple oceanic dragon had approached to be part of what both females were talking about.

"I think it is a good idea to go and find said treasure. Who knows the precious secrets that our kingdom hides around it?" she declares with emotion in her voice Ashurix. "Also based on experience, I am sure that we will all be better prepared for any situation. We will not let our pride once again blind us to the potential dangers that are hidden from our sight" she explains, looking at the giving him false confidence.

After thinking about it for a minute Alexandra saw no reason to refuse, Drigielix in the short time that she entered the guild, treated her as his equal. If he became captain, the human expected to be in her division, and a good gift could guarantee a good relationship with the future captain.

"Ok I accept, I'll go with you" she smiled confidently at the captain and her companion.

With a simple smile, Kuketzi hands Alexandra some keys to get rid of her for a while.

"Go find supplies in the cellar and take them to stable B, we will all be gathered there, accommodating the horses while we wait for you" Alexandra accepts and runs away so as not to waste much time.

"Whatever you plan with her, make sure you act captain. All warriors know that there is only death and misfortune for idiots in this place" was what Ashurix said as he walked away from the place.

"Don't worry, she is not a real warrior" was what Kuketzi thought of Alexandra, while the human was distracted with the supplies, the captain and a group of dragons were preparing to get rid of the human, they just had to hope that fate and fortune were on his side.

Once gathered, everyone began their journey to the abandoned lands of Rulliam, the group of dragons surrounded Alexandra to provide a false circle of unity with her, she was still a novice, and said circle was to guarantee her safety even if she could defend herself. What the human did not know was that this circle was to make sure to block any possible exit or escape route since she was not a winged dragon, Alexandra would have no way to escape by flying and the land of Rulliam has no nearby bodies of water; even though she cannot be underwater for long periods; there were still chances that she would escape by swimming. Captain Kuketzi would make sure to cover all kinds of escapes, nothing should ruin her plan.

Time passed and Magarai wondered where her daughter would have gone, normally level one warriors do not usually have such long missions due to their lack of experience unless they are in nearby and easy lands such as ground surveillance or simple escorts. The dragon knew that this was something typical in the life of a warrior, she trained the human girl from the age of eight so that she was strong and cunning in a life full of risks and dangers. She thought that by turning her into a warrior, the human girl would have the foundations, ability, and training to know how to defend herself perfectly and in that case to others, even so. Why was she so concerned for her safety? Her thoughts were interrupted by the knock on a door for what she is going to attend to.

"Alexandra is not here?" Sub-Captain Drigielix asks the great dragon in front of him. This question confused Magarai, he thought her daughter was with the guild.

"I thought she was with you" she replied looking strangely at the flying male. "She went like every morning to train and do missions with you and no one has seen her since. Not even her friend Kaipo knows her whereabouts, I assumed she was on a mission outside of her. " She clarifies, seriously observing the dragon, the oceanic dragon expected a good response to this.

The white dragon swallows nervously, although all the dragons of Shairum and possibly in all the kingdoms would treat the human girl badly, belittling her abilities and even going so far as to insult her; neither would be foolish enough to harm Alexandra, not while she was under Magarai's protection. With the force of such a terrible adversary as that oceanic female, it would be almost like taking her life, only more painful since she makes sure to kill her enemies slowly.

"Answer me, Sub Captain Drigielix" she takes a step forward and he steps back feeling nervous "Is Alexandra still in the guild or not?" Asking in a serious tone and withering look, the dragon manages to put the white dragon against the wall.

"I was looking for her to do a little promotional mission here in Shairum, but when I looked for her at her headquarters I couldn't find her, I thought she was already on a mission; when I asked about her, no one seemed to have seen her." she begins to notice how the dragon begins to squeeze her neck with her forearm. "I thought she was in the market or here ... I was not lucky either" he tried to free himself by moving to look for oxygen for his lungs, he did not expect a dragon-like Magarai to react like that, she drops him on the ground so that could breathe.

"Get up, white dragon, we will go to the guild" he begins to walk without even waiting for him.

While he recovered oxygen and rubs his neck to relieve the pain, he notices how the Greater Dragon of the oceans was moving away, he quickly rejoins and follows her to search for some answers

"Wait for me Magarai!"

Several kilometers from Shairum, the Kuketzi group had finally reached the lands of Rulliam to begin their plan. They were setting up a camp to spend the night on the site, the group of seven dragons plus Kuketzi were preparing the campfire, the perimeter, and some things to eat, the dragon sits next to the human to be able to talk to her.

"Thank you very much for joining us Alexandra", she offers a glass of water to the girl that she gladly accepts. "I know that we have not always treated you in the best way due to our biological differences, but I thank you very much that she accompanied us"

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity," she smiles at her captain and she smiles back "I admit that I did not feel very loved at first and I had my doubts about being able to fit in, but thanks to Drigielix and you for trying with me to make me part of the guild, I feel like this could be a great start for us "she sips her cup with the dragon watching her at all times. "Mmm how rich the water is, it tastes very sweet," she comments savoring her lips.

"Oh yeah, I'm glad I made it myself because I like something sweet in what I eat" Kuketzi lifts her cup before taking a big sip.

"I just hope to keep trying and be a good guildmate until one day I will be strong enough and be my leader," said the human staring at the night sky at night with a smile on her face. Seeing her so happy with her alone made the winged dragon want to vomit, but she kept up her appearance, and with some movements of her tail, she guided her boys to execute her plan while she continued to distract her.

"So your leader, huh? "He takes another sip before continuing talking" You know it's quite a difficult path even if you're a dragon. "

Alexandra takes another sip of that delicious drink before answering

"It may be, but I remember that promise I made to my mother years ago, it was with this same beautiful sky full of stars and with the radiant moon. I want to be a Great Dragon like my mother and that is why I must be strong enough to compare myself to the guild leaders, a captain "

Alexandra looks at Captain Kuketzi very happy to be able to trust another dragon and feel part of an honorable group.

"I don't want you to think that my wish is disrespectful to you, I'm just saying that I want to find a place with you, not only with the guild but with all the dragons of the realms. If I become a Great Dragon, I know that everyone will recognize my legend. And I will never be alone again. Wow, I think I came out very honest tonight, it will be because of the water you gave me hahaha "she laughed feeling a little dizzy.

With a cold gaze and taking the last sip of it, Kuketzi rises to face the human as she should have done from the beginning.

"It may be, but what your water has more than anything is a strong toxin from Rom-Rom berries that affects the senses including the balance of those who drink it without proper preparation" Alexandra drops the cup spilling the little content that was left, and begins to notice that her other companions were no longer in her field of vision, turning to see that they were already behind her, they were taking Alexandra's things away.

She tries to stand up falling in the process due to her inability to stand because her legs were shaky and weak from the toxin.

"Captain Kuketzi. What the hell?" she is lifted by two dragons so that she could rise to the same level as her captain and thus receive the appropriate punishment from her. "Ughh"

She drowned out one of her voices due to the strong blow she received on her stomach, then another and another. Fortunately, the skin of the armor absorbed much of the damage, even so, when constantly receiving those blows, it was there that she began to feel more pain that only increased, this was because Kuketzi was aware of the wonders of that armor.

"It disgusts me to have you in my sight, you don't know how humiliated and disgusted you have me with your mere presence in our barracks and carrying our emblem on your shoulder"

The female removes the emblem from the human girl's shoulder, in addition to adding another strong blow to the human's face, that blow breaks Alexandra's lip.

"We would kill you now to end this, but it would be very merciful because we would be depriving you of the true wonders that Rulliam has for a small bite like you, so I hope you suffer long before you die"

When she finishes speaking, the dragon hits Alexandra hard on the face, this time to knock her unconscious while she, with the help of her companions, begins to take away all the objects that will help her defend herself from dangers.

When they were about to remove his armor, they all felt a strong spark that did not allow them to withdraw what was the last protection of the human, Kuketzi deduced that it must be from a protective spell or seal to prevent another dragon from trying to steal the armor-like I try Ssaull. She did not give it much importance, armor is not the same as a sword or arrows, and without at least one dagger in Rulliam, the armor would not do anything to protect her. Abandoning the human to her fate, the dragons began to clear the camp and head back to their home, without looking back or feeling a hint of regret for her actions.
