XL. Sin of the Greater Dragons

After that relief Alexandra had remained silent in the last two days, she had closed herself without the desire to socialize or learn things of her kind as before, she no longer even thought or worried about the term that she should meet with her mother and leave, she only repeated in her head what Ssaull had said, that in one night the Greater Dragons themselves, those noble warriors that she ever dreamed of being even if that was an impossible dream had done something atrocious to humans, the girl's species. She wondered if her mother had participated in the massacre, her heart doubted, she experienced fear not knowing what to believe of her beloved dragon mother whom she loved and admired for many years, the other people in the camp who saw or spoke directly to her. with her they could notice how subdued, how uncommunicative she was, it was strange it was as if that happiness and euphoria that they had previously witnessed from the girl had been uprooted and replaced by pure feelings of sadness and antipathy, not even Marcus who was a great companion and a friend of hers managed to understand what had happened to those strong and alive feelings in her.

In one night the girl looked at the sky wondering now in which direction her destiny should guide, she wondered a little about her friend with blue scales, she did not know if they had killed him or if he had escaped, although this second thought seemed to be the most probably, maybe this should be the right decision, she should stay with her people, with those just like her and forget all this nonsense of the dragons and adapt to her reality, she was apathetic and weak human.

"Psss" Alexandra did not give importance to the sound "Psss Alex it's me Rophttys"

She turns and sees the greenish dragon with what appeared to be a camouflage of leaves and other elements that helped her hide much of her scaly being from her by whispering to her and gently touching the window.

"Rophttys?" she runs to open the window allowing the dragon to enter her room. "You shouldn't be here, dragons are .."

"They are hated, I know the feeling well, but Alexandra I need to know. What happened to Ssaull?" That question made the human girl sad, thinking of him only relived the terrible truth of the sin of the Greater Dragons. "Alexandra, he should have returned to the camp two days ago, I'm worried about him"

Alexandra reacts to what she had heard, she hoped that a dragon as cunning as him would manage to escape in at least one day, she could only imagine the worst for her old friend.

"Sorry Rohpttys, Ssaull may be dead .."

"He is not dead, if he died believe me I would be the first to know" she mentions with a look that reflected security in her affirmation.

"But..."

"Nothing Alex, I'm not asking you to help me, I just want you to tell me where he is and I will help him escape. I don't know if you are now part of the community, but I beg you not to notify anyone of my presence"

Rophttys leaves the girl alone, Alexandra out of curiosity puts on her armor to hide through the cloak of the night and follows the dragon, quickly the dragon had recited the spell to locate Ssaull showing very exhausted, but luckily She could still move, this was curious for the human girl, dragons usually use at least three spells and remain fresh with their energy, she follows her to a room where the dragon is seen on the floor next to a pool of blood. Alexandra is not surprised, as she said the dragon had died, a part of her did not expect to be right, she had the small hope that the dragon would make an escape and disturb the patience of many as it did with the dragons.

"Ssaully calm I'm here here here" Rophttys runs and makes the dragon drink a potion.

Inadvertently, a watchman sees the greenish dragon and was about to shoot him but Alexandra with her relic manages to hit him and knock the man unconscious.

"Rophttys gon 'kill you, Ssaull must be dead ..."

"Don't love me so much Alexandra" the dragon said weakly, the heart of the dragon and the girl's heart calming down when hearing his voice.

After taking the potion that Rophttys brought, the dragon wakes up, jumping up and feeling as if nothing had happened to him.

"The phoenix blood does soothe my body" the dragon moves his legs and arms with great emotion. "Thanks, Rophttys even though you shouldn't do it if you let me die you .."

"Shut up you damn stupid, I could never let you die even if I was mad at you," she said sobbing happy to have saved him.

They both hug each other happy when they have reunited again, Ssaull closes his eyes feeling completely calm, he could experience the worst of hell and suffer serious injuries, but feeling the affection of his sister gave him great hope and allowed him to overcome any adversity that would point his sword against his life.

"You will have to leave if you want to get out of here safely," said Alexandra starting to leave.

"Alexandra" the dragon sees the human and her face reflected a concern for the girl "I am very sorry that the Greater Dragons have killed the humans, there is no way that we dragons can make up for our crimes towards your people" the dragon comes down his head in apology and regret.

"Since the past will not change with an apology, you did bad things, but you have saved my life that I feel that with this we are both at peace" she only said it to not want to continue with the subject or maybe she would regret it. to help them escape.

"Moment Alex, Ssaull did not kill humans, he was the only Greater Dragon who fought for humans against the other dragons" Alexandra turns her head to look at the two dragons.

"It is not important Rophttys, we must go," said he.

"Of course it does matter if the reason Alexandra is staying in New Hope is that the life models she followed happily turned out to be murderers that's fine, but she can't put you in the same bag as them when you didn't do anything bad, you fought and saved some of the people who live here today "

Alexandra looks surprised at the dragon who did not want to talk about it, it did not matter if he participated or not in the massacre, if Alexandra was going to stay with the humans that detail was irrelevant to her. The girl checks outside and locks the door, then gags and ties the person to the ground before addressing the blue dragon.

"Very well, is time for you to tell me a little about the past, so please tell me. What happened on the night where the Greater Dragons had caused a massacre?"

"I don't think it's necessary, you will only hurt yourself girl" the dragon tried to convince the human not to insist further on the matter, but she would not pay attention or she would not listen to anything other than her question, she wanted to know about that sin of the Greater Dragons

"Please, I beg you" the dragon kept doubting the request.

The human's gaze was sad, the dragon knew that this was going to be much more harm than good, he did not understand why humans were so interested in recalling past stories that it could be worse to hear them than not to know about their existence.

"Ok, but I ask as a promise that later you will leave my sister and me to leave without cheating or fighting" the dragon extends his hand to the human.

"I just want to know what happened, after this everyone goes to her side" she squeezes the dragon's hand to close the deal.

"Let it be clear, I told you"

The human was nervous, she would know that the truth would only hurt her heart and love for what she believed in her mother, but she did not want to live more days without knowing the truth of the past of the Greater Dragon.

The story began as before dragons and humans lived in peace, as before dragons were willing to help humans survive in this new and dangerous world for them before the Greater Dragons were those who would be in charge of guaranteeing peace between both species to avoid any conflict were also those that had to protect the important kingdoms in case the humans had hidden intentions, but that in turn, they prevented the dragons from abusing their power and submitting or harming the scaleless creatures. It was supposed to be a kind of story where dragons and humans would learn that they could live as friends, an alliance like no other, but as time passed the dragons did not find answers as to how humans came to earth in the first place. of them and therefore they would not know how to help them return, which made people despair. Despite trying to manage a little the tensions between the different species, Queen Erisha always continued to give a friendly hand to the human species, she had a great heart and would fulfill her promise to help them return even if she had to put all your attention to the matter.

"I will summon the sages of the different worlds to see if we can expand the options to help our human allies," Erisha said to the dragons that were in the great royal room next to her.

For the dragons present, the decision of their queen was something out of the ordinary, it had already been done enough to give him a place to stay and provide him with the best group of dragons they could have to take care of them, use the Greater Dragons as a form caring for those lesser creatures was more like an act of generosity enough for them and now the queen planned to use more of Morkhex's best resources for beings that weren't even dragons.

"My queen please if you allow me to be disrespectful with her order" Muriany takes a step forward and waits for her queen's approval to speak; Queen Erisha grants it without issue. "My queen I see no need to support little important creatures for us, she does not make any sense to bother the wise men of the different worlds for something so little" she explains respectfully.

"I will define if help for these poor defenseless souls is important or unnecessary," I said looking at the oceanic dragon.

"But my queen these resources are to protect you, your kingdom and mainly the peace of the dragons, using them so carelessly is only a sign that you, with all due respect, do not take your duty as queen of the dragons seriously" expressed the oceanic female dragon.

"Being honest may queen, more and more humans arrive that in the end we must feed, provide resources and care that does not benefit us one bit. We should focus more on the forces of the Greater Dragons to catch Captain Rellix that according to reports and rumors is he has hidden in the fields of Ghull licking his wounds like a poor wolf of the shadows "affirms the former superior captain of the Greater Dragons, a very imposing and proud dragon of the winged race.

Everyone present began to talk about that news, it was a unique opportunity to be able to capture and possibly kill such a lethal captain at once, especially when that female tried to attack the queen, this was the moment for all the dragon warriors to begin to eliminate that annoyance once and for all. Certainly, Erisha could not deny that such a valuable opportunity could not be missed, she had almost been killed by the dragon when she was most defenseless, reaching her royal bedroom and trying to kill her was a terrible sign for her life, if she had not been for Ssaull the best dragon that she entrusted her life, maybe she was not here in front of everyone.

"My queen, may I?" Magarai steps forward waiting for her queen's sign and she grants it to him. "I consider that the best way to use your forces and resources is to deliver this blow when we have the advantage of the surprise factor on our side, the humans may continue for several generations, but Rellix could disappear again if we do not act now. No, I want to go against your noble intentions for lower humans, but this is more important to us and much more important to you. "

The dragon looks determined to her queen and comrades in arms ready to raise her sword and fight to the end to eliminate the worst threat the kingdoms have known for years. The dragon was already tired of caring for creatures as weak and pathetic as humans, she did not understand how useless beings had come so far up the food chain in their existence, she did not believe what her partner Ssaull told her about how humans despite not being strong beings like them, human beings managed to subdue wild beasts and control the world as the superior species, it must have been lies to try to look more important than they really should be.

"What do you propose Magarai?" asks the queen seeking understanding of the Greater Dragon's vision of the oceanic.

"All Greater Dragons and warriors of level or higher should go hunting the dragon when she is still recovering from her injuries" affirmed the oceanic female. "This day the furious and just edge of our sword will be stained with the blood of the greatest enemy of peace and order of the kingdoms"

The dragons screamed in fervor at the words of the great Magarai, they would follow her without hesitation to whatever battle she participated and fight tail to tail with her.

"But who will protect the humans?" the queen looks worriedly at Magarai.

"They can be alone for two days without a problem, no one would be such an idiot to attack a place that we cared for"

"I offer my loyal service to protect the humans during those two days, without rewards or glory," Ssaull said ignoring the glances of the dragons around him. "My queen, with her honorable permission, I want to attend and focus more of my duty and priority on humans instead of the mission."

"You will be cursed Ssaull. A filthy dragon like you preferring an easy mission to an important one like this is a sign of cowardice!" Yells Relzilius is annoyed with the decision of scum like that skeletal dragon.

"It makes sense that a being as weak as you prefer to be surrounded by weaker creatures to feel stronger, how sad your existence," said a celestial colored terrestrial dragon member of the Greater Dragons. "It's pathetic that we have you in our mighty brotherhood."

"Silence everyone, Ssaull is one of the best warriors which I have had the fortune and glory to know, he saved my life before Rellix's sword stole it from me and they dare to belittle his value in his brotherhood, I disappoint "all the Greater Dragons lowered their heads. "Ssaull old friend .. warrior, you know that your strength would be greatly appreciated on the battlefield, but if you are willing to protect the human camp I will not stop you. Are you sure that is your destiny?" she asks staring into the dragon's face.

"Only with their glory I will leave as soon as possible towards the camp and take care of them with my life"

The queen whispers thanks to the dragon for doing what she considered a truly noble and selfless act for others.

And that's how my queen allowed me to go to the human camp to protect it while others sought glory for fighting, many made fun of me, but that did not matter to me because my true glory was in protecting my best friend from danger and threats, Little was my knowledge that during that two-day battle a lot was going to happen, things that would lead to the biggest mistake that the Greater Dragons should bear for the rest of their lives.
