XV. Expulsion

After some more time of travel Alexandra finally reached the point where Ssaull had marked to separate, she could return without problem to Shairum from that intersection where she was. However much she wanted to go back, Alexandra couldn't leave Ssaull alone with his injuries. As much as she insisted on being able to stay an hour or more to make sure he was okay, the dragon was too stubborn to accept her help, he only told her not to waste any more time on her mother who must still be worried about his daughter and that he knew how to fend for himself, even under these conditions. She also said goodbye to her thanking her for the last time for everything he has done for her, Ssaull did the same, if it had not been for the intervention of the human, he would not have arrived alive at the crossing. The dragon gave Alexandra a goodbye gift so that she could remember her great friend and a little what they learned from humans.

It was a small cell phone, although she did not know what the object was, the dragon gave her a user manual for her to learn. She gave a gentle hug so as not to hurt the dragon and leaves. It did not take Alexandra long to arrive at the gates of Shairum being received by the guardians of the entrance of the kingdom, she noticed how several were surprised to see her again, she deduced that they assumed that she had died or that she would never return to Shairum, but she was there In front of all of them and more importantly, he still had accounts to settle with Captain Kuketzi. Only before he had to see her mother calm her down, he would have a lot to explain to her and maybe train a little more with her to avoid falling into future deceptions, but he would be very happy to listen to her.

"Alexandra, what a surprise to see you alive" a dragon of pink and green colors of the oceanic race approaches to speak with the human.

"Aunt Tizzy long time no see." she greets and stops her walk "I haven't seen you since ah".

"That you were expelled from medicine and healing classes. I know, that was I think three years" she says with a friendly demeanor.

Alexandra smiles when she sees an old acquaintance and friend of her mother, although the human did not always get along with the female dragon, at least she considered her as part of her family and one of the friendly faces that she hoped to return Let's see.

"By the way, if you look for Magarai I'm afraid you won't see her until evening" she comments.

"Why is that?" she watches the dragon.

"She went looking for you," says the dragon, "since you disappeared three days ago, she has been looking for you like crazy to make sure you come home alive."

The female dragon makes a sad face to remember her friend so worried about her, Alexandra could perceive the pain and anguish of her mother.

"Magarai only comes back during the night hoping that you come back and are waiting for her at home, Alexandra has never seen Magarai so worried or sad, not even when her life is in danger"

The human feels pain for how her mother should have felt, being these three days missing must have been a lot for the oceanic dragon, at least she would not suffer more because she has already returned despite everything being against her. She just had to wait for her mother to come home at night as Tizzy said.

"Thank you very much for telling me Tizzy, I will wait for mother then it will be a night to see my mother again, but before I have a business to attend to" Alexandra begins to walk towards her guild headquarters.

"I would recommend you avoid going to the Songs of the Moon Alexandra guild. They will not be very happy to see you inside her barracks" warns Tuzzy, which makes the human turn to see her.

"Why?".

"Because they blame you for Captain Kuktezi's death."

Alexandra, upon finding out about this, runs quickly to the headquarters of her guild to check with her own eyes what Tuzzy had told her, when she arrives she sees that at the entrance of the guild there was a lifeless head with the eyes open of what once was. A proud captain of the winged race of dragons, she was now only a lifeless head serving as a symbol of warning. The human did not know how to feel about this, she wanted to feel good because the dragon paid for her crimes, but she did not expect a scene as atrocious as seeing the head of that female dragon on a stake surrounded by flies and seeing how the blood drained on the wood.

"Your mother had no mercy on her" Alexandra turns to see that it was Drigielix.

"Sub Captain Drigielix" she smiles upon seeing him again.

"Captain Drigielix for you, I was promoted earlier than planned since she died," he said referring to the premature departure of her friend.

"Congratulations Drigielix!! I'm very happy for you" she reaches out to shake his hand, but the dragon abruptly moves away from her.

"Listen, Alexandra, by code I can't do anything against you because Kuketzi's death was in order between her and your mother." the dragon clenches her fists tightly, enduring her fury "When you disappeared in the middle of her mission, former Captain Kuketzi had to face the consequences. Consequences that went out of bounds when Magarai didn't even bother to listen to her."

"Mission? As far as I know, it was supposed to ..."

"SHUT UP DAMN HUMAN !!!" Alexandra walks away nervous and silent.

"When you become a warrior, you are aware that your life could end in the mission you are undertaking. No one can blame anyone for a death in the middle of a mission." she walks slowly to be closer to Alexandra and stops when she felt she was close enough "I don't know what fangs your mother was thinking of putting you as a warrior if she couldn't accept the possibility of your death, but there was always the possibility that you would disappear and die during any mission. "

She trembles but she had to say something to calm the fury of her now guild captain.

"Drigielix if you allow me to explain myself ..." She was silenced with a strong blow to her face, she almost fell to the ground after that, Alexandra was able to stay on her feet despite that and sees how blood began to flow from her nose.

"This is the only aggression you will have from me. I know you wanted to show your worth as a warrior and be part of our guild, but sneaking off to dangerous missions that you do not master is very stupid, they almost killed you and you are lucky to come back here" the dragon turns his back on seeing the head of his dead friend "Kuketzi even though she tried to save you from the anarchist guilds, your mother still did not forgive her. She demanded Kuketzi's life as compensation and now as the protocol dictates her head it serves as an example of peace and of avoiding the stupidity of calling Magarai's fury and rage against us. "

The dragon lets out some tears showing the human how hurt she felt to lose her best friend, he wanted to be a fourth captain and be on a par with his friend. He never wanted her promotion to be due to her loss. Alexandra felt empathy for the pain of her companion, but he did not know the truth, there was never a mission against anarchist guilds, it was only a damn trap to get rid of her and Drigielix should know it ".

"As the first act of guild captain, I Drigielix of the noble race of winged dragons expel Alexandra daughter of Magarai from our guild." Alexandra is stunned to hear that, she could not be expelled from the guild and much for something that she did not do; she was about to say something in her defense to prevent her expulsion "Don't let your mother say that she doesn't honor our word." She passes the human a medal with a silver sword symbol.

"What is this?" she looks at the medal.

"This is proof that you are a level three warrior, any rookie who survives the anarchists and survives deserves to be a level, three warriors." He watches her one last time "Now you have the right to have missions without a guild, so no one else will have to die because of your damn human immaturity, now get out of my sight and don't ever stain our guild's name with your presence." The dragon was about to leave, only the human held its tail so it wouldn't move.

"Please Drigielix let me explain what happened!! Kuketzi lied to you, she!!" She sees how a murderous look was present in the dragon's eyes causing her to let go of his tail.

"You call my friend a liar again and I swear I'll kill you, I don't care what Magarai does, as long as you don't harm more good warriors with your damn presence I'm willing to die." The dragon said showing that he was serious, revealing his sword a little, once things were made clear, the dragon abandons the human, leaving her alone.

The human wipes the blood from her nose and sees her warrior medal of level three of hers, she understood that it would be useless to talk to him, there is no use talking to someone who is not willing to listen to you. She left the site, ready to wait for her mother who would return at night, Alexandra was not in the mood to talk to anyone. She had to now accept that she was unwarrantedly expelled from the guild. Without evidence or someone to support her even if she dared to tell someone about what happened, no one would believe her; Even the pessimism of humans was such that I imagine that even with strong evidence, no one would believe her equally, in the end, dragons are only loyal to other dragons while she was lucky to have Magarai.

From afar Ssaull was watching everything from where he was, he had a handheld telescope making sure the annoying human didn't do something stupid against a guild captain. He only says the name of the girl worried about her future now, but he could not do anything, she was a warrior, and eventually, things were much more difficult than these would come and she had to learn to handle it alone.

Magarai returned home at night as expected, she wore a high-level Greater Dragon armor and clothing with the symbol of the oceanic. Seeing her daughter smiling when she saw her arrive, both did not ask to contain their tears of joy and the happiness that both felt to meet again mother and daughter, both just give each other a warm hug appreciating this moment.
