Between the sword and Reina .
There stood a giant scale dragon . It entire movement of body made of flames that forged into flames .
The Dragon of Eternal Flames .
Liora whispered , but barely audible due to her trembling voice in nervousness .
" They said .... Dragon , are the gods themselves. And they guarded the shrine the goddess shrine temple for many years ..... I thought this was a story . But I never thought of seeing one in real life . "
The dragon growled out a loud breathing with smoke from nostrils. And dragon sensed someone and gaze directly to Reina and something in that eyes shifted - recognition.
" Reina " Dragon spoke , the voice echoed directly in her mind , " No .... Ray Throne... "
Her fist clenched . The dragon pierced through her disguised .
The dragon wings unfurled with the thunderous whump , sending dust and shards of stone flying. Then , with a roar , it unleashed a torrent of flames .
" Liora , get back . " Reina shouted , throwing out her hands . " Mystic Art : Wind Barrier . "
Air howled in her existence , spiraling into the wall of rushing currents . The dragon's fire slammed into it , scattering sparks into the air .
The heat was unbearable even behind the barrier -- it's helding , barely .
" Reina " Liora cried . She pointed the sword.
" Go according to the plan . I'll go and grab the sword . "
" Wait a minute . Give me your hand , " Reina poured some of her mystic art in her hand .
A faint glow warpped around Liora's body , strengthening her limbs . "
" Go get the sword . "
Liora stood and looked at the gaint giant monster infront of her and she froze . " I can't fight the dragon !!! . I'm just 12 year old kid . "
" Liora , looked at me , I am just ,10 remember just . "
" But - you got the magic that no one have seen . And I am , just ordinary. "
" Liora ," Reina snapped, " Who are you ? "
" I am Viscount's daughter. "
" No " Reina said ..... " You are Liora whose dream is to be knight. And remember, every time you felt weak or failure , just remember you can't go back ..... Either you win or lose , And Liora I know won't lose against anyone ."
" Just trust me , Liora " Reina gentle voice set fire on her heart .
Liora dashed toward the crumbling shrine .
Hear searing from her as flames kicked at the ground of her. Behind her Reina roared with effort as she forced back another blast from dragon fire .
The dragon's gazed toward Liora snapped , realizing her intent . It swung a massive tail the ground spilting as it struck .
" Not so fast . " Reina shouted . " Mystic Art : Wind Strike ! "
The compressed gale slammed into the dragon's flank , staggering the gaint beast just as long enough .
Liora reached the pedestal . Her small hands clawed at the sword ' s hilt . Sweat pouring down her face . The blade felt impossible to lift .
" Reina " she cried , struggling, " it won't move "
" Pull harder. "
The dragon's roar shook the heaven. It maw opened again , flames swirling like the sun itself .
Reina activated the barrier but ,her arms trembled , her barrier beginning to crack under the sheer force of flames .
Her skin burned , her hand sting but she refused to gave in .
Power surge through her veins , awakening
deeper than before . Her eyes flashed with a divine glow .
" Mystic Art : Wind Piercer "
She thrust her hand forward , condensed every shards of her will into a single strike .
The glowing spears of wind shot forth , screaming through the flames ....
And slammed into the dragon's chest .
" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, " Dragon screamed in pain .
And roared at the shock as the attack brust against it's scales , scattering part of its fiery aura .
For the first time , it's movements faltered.
" Reina . "
Liora struggle to pulled the sword free .
" Just Once ..... God help ...me ....give me strengthen ..... "
Then ,her hand glow of Mystic Art that gave by Reina to Her . Then suddenly ,she felt some intense strength in her arms .
And touch the hilt of sword , and then it glow and engulfed around it .
The sword vibrated in her hand , whispering through the air like a living things . Liora , shielding her eyes , stumbled back toward Reina .
" Reina " she screamed throwing the blade toward her with all the strength she had .
" Catch "
The weapon spun through the air , gleaming and Reina caught it with both hands . Moment she did , the voiced in her dreams thundered through her soul .
" Say My Name "
Reina's lips trembled but the world rose unbidden, a sense of familiarity burning her chest .
" ..... Wolf "
The shrine erupted with power . Sword blazed with light , runes igniting along it length . Wind swirled , around the Reina , her hair whipping wildly , her eyes glowing with her eyes .
The sword pulsed again .
" Been a long time , Ray ----
" Yes . Let's finish this quickly " Reina looked at the wounded dragon .
The dragon wounded but far from defeated , lunged toward , fire gathering in its throat once more .
The Wolf hummed , channeling her mystic art into a form sharper , stronger than before.
" Mystic Art - Crescent Moonlight "
She swung .
A crescent of blazing wind and light tore through the air.... Colliding with the dragon's flames ....
The explosion shook the earth ... A blinding surge of energy scattering embers and stone in every direction.
When the light cleared , the dragon staggered back , a deep wound carved across its chest .
With the thunderous clashes. Dragon collapsed to the ground .
" Reina " Liora whispered her eyes widened, " You really .... You defeat a dragon .....
Reina panted , Wolf trembling in her hands glow fading slightly. " No ..... We did it . "
The dragon's body glowed --- not with fire but with the divine light . The scales began to dissolve into fragments of ruby flames , swirling upward . The enormous flames , shrank , reshifted and reshaped .
Before their eyes where onced lay a monster , now stood a girl
Her hair blazed red , like a fire . A small horm curled from her head , and her red glowed eyes glowed faintly even in exhaustion.
She looked no older than seventeen. Her bare feet touched cracked stones and her gaze locked on Reina .
" So ...you are the one chosen by the Wolf "
The girl whispered , her voice carrying the same reasonance as the dragon's roar , now more soft amd melodic .
Reina froze her chest heaving , Liora of course gawked and blurted out the first thing came to her mind .
" .... Reina ,you just beat the dragon and got yourself a hot - reded girl . How this is fair ? "
Reina nearly dropped Wolf on her foot .
