The promise

As the blizzard subsided the weather became clear but it acted as an alarm system for the dragon he returned at full speed at his den before us we could only catch a glimpse .

This is going to be a difficult battle .

A raid boss perhaps .

It had formed an ice dome it was both white and transparent. The dome had a flow like pattern in its construction.

A huge entrance for the dragon to move into .

Lloyd: How much mana is remaining .

Lilia : 2 hours worth .

Now you might be asking 2 hours worth how will this be quantifying in any sense . Then imagine this

The amount of mana required to keep a mansion fully lit .

Mana in this world is a bountiful and unending resource . Thus such a resource is not accessible to everyone.

It is a potent source to clean energy but we are times behind to use them .

Well except for Rhizon and The Immortals.

Anyway .

The dragon was just silently waiting for us inside .

5 steps before we stepped in I stopped everyone.

Jay : Wait I think it's trying to lure is in .

Jay : McElroy

McElroy: Yeah yeah I know

McElroy used mana to collapse the entire ceiling on the dragon . The the traps he prepared beforehand like big spiked which were going to extend in the heat of battle grazed him lightly .

The sudden collapse led to particles in the air thus leading to difficulty in seeing .

Lloyd : We must move now . It's the best time .

All of us tried to make a move . But the dragon roared loudly that our ears started paining .

The snow settled .

Before us was a dragon with pristine white skin and transparent scales .

Jay : Umm Lloyd why happened to the ice Armor I can't see it anywhere .

Lloyd : Impossible the reports cannot be incorrect. (Shocked) Don't tell me it evolved into a dragon .

Jay : What does it mean for us .

Lloyd: We might not return alive now .

Lloyd : We negotiate.

Lloyd :

Oh great dragon I am very grateful for gracing us with your rebirth.

Ice dragon :

Hmm you are an interesting human .

Now speak human your wish I shall grant them .

Lloyd : My wish might be a bit difficult for you .

Ice dragon:

Hah you underestimate my powers .

Just name your wish . Wealth , power ,

I got it all .

The time to strike the iron is now . Now the next choice of words will determine it all .

Lloyd :

I am very regretful for having requested this request of mine .

Please could you return to your lands

Our people don't have enough food themselves due to the massacre of the skeletons .

And for a dragon with its massive hunger . Our people will die .

Ice dragon :

Oh even though I give you a wish for yourself you still speak for your people . How noble of you . I acknowledge this .

But I'm afraid I can't grant this wish of yours .

Lloyd : But why ?

Ice dragon:

I gave a promise to. friend a long time ago that I would protect this land from dangers . And the blizzard is the area you stand upon is the one he told me to guard .

Jay : Forgive me for my rudeness but may I know the name of your friend .

Ice dragon: If you must his name is

Lance Thesaurus.

Jay : I knew it .

Jay :

Forgive me for the last time but may I know what did he send you to guard.

his daughter Grace and Terry Hawks

Ice dragon :

No human you are incorrect.

Jay and McElroy were both shocked by the fact .

McElroy:

What are you supposed to guard .

Ice dragon:

State your name human before you speak .

McElroy:

My name is McElroy (proud) . And I ask this question what are you guarding .

Ice dragon:

Ohoh human fear me but you stand proudly before me such insolence .

The dragon remembered something

about McElroy.

Ice dragon:

Where is the rest of you McElroy didn't you come to slaughter me .
