XXXVII. Dragons and Humans

In the kingdom of Morkhex in one of the punishment and torture rooms, Sisser and Trilliux stood outside a large bronze door worried about their partner Magarai who was making some muffled sounds of pain. The two Greater Dragons of the north exchanged looks of anguish over the possible sentence of the oceanic dragon, it was all wrong for Magarai, because she had neglected her duties prioritizing her motherhood before the kingdom, raising a human and allowing her to If human bliss was made with a sacred relic of the oceanic race, Queen Erisha's advisers were not very merciful to the dragon, much less allowing her to subdue her and let her escape. Muriany together with a dragon with the role of punisher left that room, the dragon commented to the terrestrial female about the resistance and will of Magarai, he felt impressed by the strength of the oceanic female for withstanding so much damage without releasing a single plea For him to stop, he was undoubtedly in awe of the oceanic female's will, worthy of the praise and senses of admiration that various dragons pointed to her.

"Excuse me" Sisser approaches both dragons worried.

"Greater Dragon Sisser and Greater Dragon Trilliux. How can I help you?" she asks with a smile as if nothing was wrong.

"We know the question is inappropriate but ..." Trilliux was somewhat hesitant to speak.

"Magarai. What condition did they put on him?" it was Sisser who had to ask

Both dragons were nervous at the decision that the council had imposed on the strongest dragon in the kingdoms, if she was considered a prisoner, she would be a loss, without freedom, being a slave and without the hope of living peacefully when she could no longer fight. If they put it into execution, well they would not see it again, death was more than obvious and no living being has been able to overcome that state. The dragon gives both of them a smile before speaking to the two warriors, she straightens her hair and takes a step forward.

"Magarai well, she will continue to be a Greater Dragon of the oceanic, but I am afraid that she will no longer be the captain of her team" the two dragons fell silent at the decision. "As you can not count on Ssaull who after Magarai, he was the best for the position, you two will have to solve it and decide who deserves the position more, you have until the end of the week to decide bye" she leaves with him punisher.

Both dragons did not want to accept the position of captain, they were aware that they could not be as good as a captain as Magarai had done for several years, Sisser and Trilliux would later argue about who of the two would be the new captain of the Greater Dragon from the north, first they were going to see how the health of their companion was when entering the smell of blood and hot metal flooded their noses already preparing them for the worst when they went even further inside the room they saw a semi-naked Magarai wounded in the ground, too many cuts, burn marks as if several hot metal objects had been put on his body for long periods, but the worst thing was seeing that Magarai's tail had been cut seeing how the tip of the tail with the fin of she was hanging on the wall in front of Magarai as a reminder of what she had lost through her mistakes. Despite everything the oceanic dragon made an effort to stand up despite all the pain that her body suffered, it did not matter if her muscles screamed or if her legs were not able to support the weight, Magarai was a dragon that She would stand up to regardless of adversity, the two dragons worried about her run fast to help her.

"Magarai calm down, we'll help you" mentions Trilliux placing Magarai's right arm on her shoulders, the dragon notices that the dragon had lost two fingers of her hand.

"Don't worry mate, we'll take you to a healer and you'll feel better" Sisser places the other arm of the oceanic dragon on her shoulder.

"They tried to make me beg for their filthy piety, they wanted to see me cry for it to stop, they didn't stop until they could do it, but I didn't give them the pleasure, I won't let anyone submit to it" she stumbles, luckily for her two companions, he held her.

"Don't worry, we will find that damn human scum and kill it so that you can regain some of your former glory."

Hearing that they planned the death of her daughter, the ocean dragon's instinct reacts and she manages to disarm both dragons and knock them down threatening them with sword and crossbow.

"Magarai, for Mother Desthy!"

"Are you crazy or what!"

Both dragons look terrified at the wounded and weak dragon, but with a look full of fury and desire to harm either of them, he did not know what this meant, if the dragon wanted to fight with the human or if from his sight weak and bloody she mistook them for an enemy.

"Stay out of my way, regardless of my injuries I .... myself ..... I'll take care of .... Alexa ... dra" Magarai faints falling on the floor covered in blood.

Both dragons carefully take Magarai to the healing dragons to help her heal most of her wounds, in Magarai's heart she only tried to remain strong for the sake of her daughter, she had to endure all the damage she received to be ready and reunite with Ssaull and Alexandra and then escape from Berk'Drac and look for a place where they can live in peace and harmony, being a family.

At a distance far enough from the New Hope camp Ssaull had stopped his rolling camp to wait for the human after three days, he prepared a seal around his horses and camp to make sure that no dragons or humans were aware of his presence. , that seal made them practically invisible, anyone outside the seal could not see, hear or smell them; this was perfect for avoiding skeletal and terrestrial dragons for their good noses. While that skeleton dragon prepared all the measures to guarantee the safety of him and his sister, Rophttys was preparing food for both of them, the dragon felt strange and uncomfortable being in the blue dragon's camp, she observed each object both Dragonica and human, this Last he saw it with more strangeness, he had confused and strange feelings for human objects as if something in them affected him in a certain way.

"Well, with this seal we should not worry about being seen, just as the horses are trained to make noises in case someone or something approaches to enter the seal" he smells the aroma of the food allowing himself to be delighted by how good it was the smell. "Hmm, there is nothing better than some food after all the magical and physical effort to keep the area safe"

"It's Chicken Colizi Flower Soup" serves Ssaull on a plate. "It is one of my best creations for the enjoyment of our stomachs" she comments with some calm while she served the soups.

"You know I can prepare food if you ask me," he says starting to eat the soup.

"Nah don't worry about that, if I don't do something, I might freak out from boredom haha" she looks at Ssaull and notices her worried look "And that look?"

"It's nothing, it's just that, it's been a long time since we shared a good meal" Ssaull, remembering an innocent smile appears on his face "Being honest with you, I missed sharing these moments with you friend"

Rophttys felt a bit of guilt for the estrangement that she had caused between her and Ssaull, I blame him for everything that had happened to her and what she was now, but at last, she could understand why things had taken the way they did. , maybe someday soon she could forgive him for everything that happened to her in the past.

"Rophttys one day when everything is better for you, I ... I will do what I have to do to give you back the life that I take from you" he stares firmly at the greenish dragon, but she reacts surprised at what the dragon said. "I have decided, after helping Magarai with her daughter, I will return to my project and as soon as I manage to open the door of your home, I will take my life for granted and with that, you will have to recover everything you lost because of us ..., my fault"

"Ssaully ..."

Rophttys wanted to say something to what the dragon said, but she couldn't find the right words to say. Was what he was saying correct? Even if it was for her sake. Could she accept that?

"You don't need to say anything, maybe I'm just spouting stupid things because I'm just a stupid dragon" he only limited himself to eating her soup, looking away from her so as not to disturb the dragon.

"Ssaull, do you think Alexandra wants to go back to Magarai?" she asks not knowing what to say to the previous topic.

"Logic should say no, after all the abuse and damage that she must have experienced since childhood, this damage being further aggravated by the betrayal that Alexandra had to live in Rulliam, she should stay with the humans, at least it is something that I would be in her shoes "

"I also think the same, but the look of the girl, the way she received us, and how happy she seemed to have a chance to have a life with humans and dragons living together and in peace makes me think of something else to the contrary" she looks that blue dragon. "No human or dragon reacts in the same way as Alexandra did, we would all be resentful or afraid of going back to those who hurt us"

"It only takes a small candle to light a dark room"

"Sorry?"

"Alexandra has known few dragons that have undoubtedly loved and loved her sincerely and purely, Magarai being her mother, Kaipo being her best friend and good without sounding self-centered, us because we try to protect her and guide her safely away from the dragons "he closes his eyes remembering his adventure and fight with the human girl. "If the kingdom of dragons is a dark room, we are the candle"

"She sees hope with us, despite how evil dragons are, she doesn't want to give up on Magarai, her friend, or us. That's why she clings to that hope that both races live in peace."

"Alexandra may unconsciously think that she will meet more kind-hearted dragons who want to help her and be part of her life, without betrayal or hatred. That is why a part that she does not understand makes her doubt whether or not to stay with the humans. Still Well, she does not seem naive with things either, she knows everything she has lived and suffered so far and that may influence more in not wanting to see the dragons again, I would not blame her if in the end she tells us to forget about her But being honest with you sister, I would like Alexandra to come with us, that girl is a good and interesting friend, I know that Magarai will take good care of her, she is her mother, but I would like to be able to support the girl more and help her find more good dragons so that he does not suffer any more"

"What if she stays or goes with us?" Rophttys looks out the window in the direction of the New Hope camp "Regardless of Alexandra's choice, my instincts tell me there will be great repercussions in this world."

He looks in the same direction that her sister saw, the instinct of the skeletal female was not wrong, Alexandra had in her possession a sacred relic, that made her the center of attention of the entire dragon world, the dragons that were good In the proper sense of the word, and the anarchist dragons who were up to Captain Rellix's ideals, if she ever found out that Alexandra was in the human camp at New Hope, there was a good chance that the dragon would send for an attack. that place, using his army and little troops from the kingdoms to take advantage of the confusion and chaos. Even so, the idea of Alexandra going back to her mother and the dragons was not a good idea either, the same scene of persecution and death would be there, only that Alexandra would have to be in constant motion sleeping with one eye open to make sure that night It was not the night of his death, for better or for worse, the cards had already been dealt with all the players in life, now it was time to see the hands and hope for the best of his game.
