Ancient Moon Flower

(2 Weeks Before)

'You... you will pay for what you've done!' A figure on the floor screamed breathlessly at another person looking down at them, only for that person to leave without looking behind her, as she released it's beasts from a dead, mauled, seeming tortured body besides the person, walking away and sending her beasts to kill the other person. "You've got it wrong. It's 'You' who will pay." With those last words, the person vanished, leaving her pets to slowly kill the person still on the floor, the last thing heard was a scream of agony.

(Present Time)

Completely exhausted, Luna and the fairy, who she learned was called Lili, sat in front of a fire, cooking pieces of gorilla meat and eating what Lili called Holberries. They were small purple berries that looked like mini tomatoes, but was incredibly sweet and juicy, also giving off some warmth, which Lili claimed helped against the cold. Maybe it did, but since her scales and skin was so thick that barely anything got through, she couldn't really tell the difference, but since Lili said that, and she was shivering a lot less after eating it, she supposed that she was telling the truth. They had just taken down all the sparrow guards, leaving only the Ice Sparrow Queen along with it's children and some other beasts. She'd found out that Lili's power being a Void Fairy was incredibly handy in fights, and the only reason she herself hasn't realised that was because fairies basically never fought with each other, and the few times they trained their magical powers, Linasa and the other fairies were bullying her.

She could, to put it simply, drain magic away, for example, if the ice sparrow from before launched it's ice attack, she could simply turn it into wisps of mana and absorb it before the ice sparrow could use it as an attack. She could also condense it into shapes and launch them at people, which would slowly suck away small items, due to it only being at level 1. She could also store things in her personal void, which was quite like her spatial ring, but she could make it appear anywhere, and didn't have to grab it out like when she was taking things out of her spatial ring. When they were attacking the guards, Lili would drain all the magic attacks she could at this level, and when they were surprised, trying to figure out where their attack had gone, she would use several moon cutters, scratches and flames to annihilate all the guards. And since most of them moved around in pairs or by itself, it was quite easy to take out all 23 of them.

Luna and Lili were both pretty surprised. She'd never thought that there'll be that many guards in one of the weaker rare-grade beasts territory, and Lili had never seen that many rare-grade beasts in her life. Even after taking care of all 23 of the guards, she had only received 3 beast cores, counting on the one which she got from the guard trying to kill Lili, which only showed how hard it was to form a beast core. She supposed that the Ice Sparrow Queen had a beast core, but that would only add up to 4, which was one away from the amount she needed to form a beast core. But she supposed that she still had to find the Ancient Moon Flower, wherever that was, so she still had time. Suddenly getting an idea, she turned to Lili, who was roasting something that looked suspiciously like a marshmallow on a stick. "Hey Lili. Do you know anything about the Ancient Moon Flower?" Since she lived in Foreta longer than she did, and might know something about it if the flower grew in Foreta, she figured why not ask about it?.

"Oh! I do! I heard the elders mention it once and looked it up in the library. Apparently the flower actually grows on one of the snow mountains close to here! Why, did you need it for something?" She answered with her normal cheerful tone. Spitting out her drink as she was in her human form, which had freaked out Lili when she changed into it before, but then she explained it as one of her skills. She was absolutely astonished. Her luck was too good! It was so near her and she didn't even notice! "Ah, I need it to form a beast core." She figured there was no point in hiding it, as Lili would probably be near her when she formed her beast core, and would find out either way. However, her reaction was not was she expected. Lili nearly choked on her food, which she was still pretty sure was a marshmallow and turned to her with wide eyes.

"Are-are you the Moon Dragon?!"

"The town of Varizen. It seems that my crows will be arriving there in a few minutes. Crozina better prepare for the last day of her life! I will get my revenge.. Like I Promised!" The figure from before looked nothing like it had two weeks ago, her left eye had a nasty scar cutting vertically down, and her body was filled with all sorts of scars, from short to long, deep to shallow, completely different from her once young full and beautiful appearance that was intrance even the most stoic of people. She had just been one of the most talented beast-tamers in their sect, and somehow attracted the attention of the sect masters son, which just happened to be another beast-tamers boyfriend. When Crozina realised that she had taken 'her' boyfriend, she hunted her down, and ambushed her while she was doing a mission, killing her friend before sending all her tamed beasts at her, before leaving. She had barely survived, and only because her beasts were better than Corzina's beasts in quality, but since hers and Crozina's beasts all died in the fight, it resulted in her needing to get more beasts if she wanted revenge.
