The dragons chamber

The red baby dragon tried taking to the skies immediately after it's birth, but it went back down fast and into Kiano's hand it landed, it's mother laughed at the sight of them bonding already, "I think it wants to burp", Kiano said noticing the movements of the dragon in its hand, "I think you best put her down", Mteketezo tried to warn Kiano but her warning did not reach him before the fire from her child reached him by, "hot hot", he cried and put the little creature down, the baby dragon smiled at Kiano's display and burped some more, releasing blue cold flames this time, "it's cold", Kiano said surprisingly and turned to the creatures mother who was surprised as well but felt had a warm happy look on her face, "she must've picked that up from her father", the mother dragon said, "her father?", Kiano asked, "yes! He was the frost dragon", she answered warmly again, "what good times", she said, as Kiano had a tiny smile to share at the sight of the dragons reminiscing, "what are you going to call her:,he asked while playing with the little one, the mother thought for a while anf smiled, "Faust", she said, "her names Faust, dragon of multiple elements", "Faust", Kiano said back with a smile and lifted the little one up, "it's a beautiful name".

Outside the pyramid by the small watch tower

Stoy bled from his mouth from where he crashed after receiving a kick from damira, "fuck",he uttered and slowly turned invisible, "oh",damira exclaimed over a smile, "what a cool ability you've got there", she complimented him and pulled out two anelacs daggers, stoy looked at Ba'quay's dead body and thought to himself, "this is bad, and the idiot who caused it has already kicked the bucket, I have to meet up with Vlad and sheera ", Damira noticed movements made by the invisible man at the place he crashed, "Come on now", she said and started running towards his last seen spot, "don't be shy", she said again as she jumped to the sky and landed with her daggers penetrating some stones, "he moved huh?', she asked and turned to notice footsteps on the sand, "there you are", says damira before throwing a dagger at stoy's direction, the dagger made his mark, adding a blood trail and a floating dagger to the footprints, stoy pulled the dagger out quickly and tossed it to continue on his path, but damira quickly popped out from a nearby shadow, and caught the dagger mid air then she thrust both of her blades into the direction of the floating blood, and heard a scream and saw blood rush more fun the spot she landed her hit, stoy coughed out more blood and slowly started turning visible to his opponent and Del who watched with his baby sister in his hands. Damira pulled her blade out and walked slowly behind stoy who complained, "this sucks", he said, "this is not how I saw myself dying", "shit ", he said and collapsed in front of her feet.

Back in the dragons lair

"Wait, you want me to take her with me? ", Surprised Kiano asked Mteketezo, "yes", "okay?",said Kiano, "that's cool and all, but I don't think I have what it takes to take care of a dragon, I mean, babies need their mothers right? For all sorts of things, you know, like breastfeeding and stuff" the young emperor emphasized, "true", said the mother dragon, "but dragons are different, most of us grew up bot ever knowing what our parents look like, and I'm sure she'll be fine with you", "okay? ", he said again, "but wouldn't it be better for her to be by your side?", his question put a bit of sadness on the big dragons face, "sadly, no", Mteketezo said and raised its hands up, "Kiano eyes opened wide as he saw what the dragon was showing it, "those's are some huge scars",he said out, "Yeah!",the dragon affirmed, "these and this prison is all I got from the last great war, that's why I couldn't break out of here, my life is coming to an end, and it's why I can't let her stay, I'm be gone soon, and then she'll be all alone in my prison, I can't subject her to that", she explained, "I was waiting for a miracle, and the universe sent you, now, I'm going you'd do this dying dragon this favor, and like I said, I'll help you deal with the man up top", "yeah, I totally forgot about that", he said, "how do you plan on doing that? I thought leaving was not an option ", said Kiano, "you're right, I can't leave, but if you accept my offer, then I'll do my own part to make your life even a tad bit less stressful", Mteketezo said. Kiano folded one hand and had the other hand to his chin and thought for a bit, "Having a dragon isn't so bad", he thought with his eyes at the young one playing around, "what's the worse that will happen", he finally finished thinking and said, "I accept your terms", "good",Mteketezo Said back and asked the boy to walk a bit closer and then she notified him by saying "now, I'm going to breath a bit of fire on you", "you'll what?", he said with fear and surprise running amok on his exterior, "relax", she said, "this is an old dragon tradition, all I'm doing is pouring a bit of my essence of you, burning away a bit of the current you" she said, "did you just say "burning"?", he asked, she laughed at his worry and sent words of assurance, "the flames won't burn, you won't even feel a thing", "hmm", he uttered conspicuous worry, but he still moved closer as the dragon requested, the beast opened her mouth wide and Kiano swallowed a bit of saliva as he looked down her throat, fire rushed out of her mouth and straight to him, he raised his hands to cover his face as the fire covered him whole, "hmm", uttered the young emperor, to his surprise, the fire did not burn, "it's warm, just like a hug from a loving mother", he said quietly as a tiny bit of tears ran down one cheek.

Inside the pyramid, Vlad felt the warm flames and thought, "don't tell me that brats still alive, I stayed up here hoping he'll run back out due to the heat, but he didn't so I assumed he was dead", "what's going on down there?"" he asked himself As he noticed the heat in the pyramid dropping, "the heat's going down, did that brat do something? No, he's busy a brat, even I wouldn't have been able to survive if I had gone further, let's see, i think I'll go further Down kg the heat drops a bit more".

Out by the tower outside the pyramid, Dalia who was been carried by Del regained consciousness slowly and opened her eyes to the sight of stoy been dragged towards her by her older sister, "Big sister damira?, she called, Damira smiled at her and said, "looks like your poison resistance skill kicked in", "where's the young emperor?", she asked the young girl, "last time I saw him, he was running towards the pyramid", Del and damira was shocked by her statement, "what? I thought he was hiding in his boots somewhere", said Del, "He's not that kind of person", Dalia said, "take this guy with you", damira threw stoy at Del's feet, "I'll go look for Kiano", she said and turned to run towards the pyramid, "wait!", Del stopped her, "what she asked", "do you feel that?", he asked her back, "the heats going down, and there's a warm feeling in the air", damira tried to feel what her twin brother was saying and said, "you're right", "what's going on?", he asked again, "only one way to find out she said and rushed out towards the pyramid.

Inside the dragon's lair, after bathing Kiano in fire, the dragon stopped, it's size reduced by a considerable amount, Kiano opened his eyes after completely absorbing the energy and noticed the dragon looking less, "your size!", he pointed out, "yes", she replied, "that happens when one loses a lot of energy, now, you should get ready, cause you're about to have blast", "a blast?" Kiano asked just before her felt his heart take a huge pound, "badump" it went, he held his chest with one hand, he held it with his tow hands as his took a second loud kicker, "what's going on?", he asked with a bit of worry written all over him, "you'd transformation", she said to him as he felt to his knees and started emitting multiple colored auras.

Vlad finally decided to go down bit stopped as he felt the burst of energies, "what the hell is going on?", he asked, Damira stopped once more as she felt the same thing Vlad felt and asked herself the same question Vlad asked, Del did not miss the feeling too as he was rushing away from the fight sight with his baby sister and their prisoner0.

The green blue and red aura fought each other for a while, Kiano took the most pain from the battle of auras, his skin burnt and healed immediately and continuously, his teeth and nails started growing like that of a beast, scales formed on his hands and other parts of his body and his eyes turned savage red, and got up and shot himself up to the roof like a nuke and busted a hole through the ceiling, Vlad who carefully walked down the dark path towards the dragons lair saw him shoot past him, Kiano came out into the desert and caught damiras view, "whoa" she said as she saw him shot up into the sky, "what's that?", Del stopped briefly and asked, "I better hurry back", Del said and went on, damira pushed towards the rocket boy without knowing what it was, Vlad on the other hand noticed the dragon as the dragon noticed him too, "is that a dragon?", he asked quietly as a bit if fear held him, "the one you're looking for went that way", Mteketezo notified Vlad who took one last long have at the creature and then jumped following Kiano's blast path.

Mteketezo shrunk further and transformed into a beautiful long red haired woman in a long gown, she walked weakly to her dragon child and held her to the sky, "I'm sorry but I won't be around to teach and protect you, but you've got a brother, and I'm sure the two of you can do anything if you work together, be good to him, be careful with humans for they are cunning and selfish, some are nice, but a lot of them are just off, keep your temper in check so you don't go burning down villages", she pulled Faust in and they met head to head, "I love you Faust ", she said while transfering the rest of her energy to her little one who slowly turned into a human with tiny wings on her back keeping her above the ground, she watched her mother crumble and fall into the lava pit, all age could do was cry at the sight of it because she knew that life has left her mother's side, she wiped her tears and looked at the party Kiano took and slowly and shakily flew up as the pyramid sent blocks down due to it collapsing..

Damira arrived just in time to watch the pyramid fall, she was surprised at the whole situation and had no idea what was going on, but one thing was certain for her, which was kiano who went into the sky, so she had sent her attention into the sky searching for him, but the first view of human she had was Vlad jumping out of the same hole Kiano came out of, "I haven't seen you around this part before", he heard her say and turned to notice her with her daggers ready to go, "let me guess, you're with the ones after the kid",Vlad pulled out his blade at the sight of an unexpected opponent in battle mode, "I'm guessing you're not gonna let me walk away peacefully with the kids yeah", he said while leaning down a bit in a battle ready stance, "that's not gonna happen, especially after one of yours put his filthy hands on my little diamond, your ass whooping is more than certain", She said with a tiny grin that has a hint of evil on it, "this woman is dangerous", Vlad thought and said out loud, "then I guess I have to cut you down in order to get what I want", "give it your best shot",she said and started sprinting his way, he accepted her challenge and ran towards her too, sword in his left hand, he took a wild left swing at her, while her right hand took a straight path towards stabbing him.

"boom", something dropped right in the middle of damira and Vlad right before their attacks made impact on each other, both of them took cautionary steps back, Vlad had his sword as a shield around his eyes against the flying sands and dust, damira used her hand and they watched from a considerable distance while the dust from the explosion settled, "It's the brat", said Vlad, "Kiano", damira called out in a worrisome manner, "he's not normal ", Vlad thought, "kiano", damira called again but received no reply from the Kiano who had a raging aura all around him, he turned to look at her and then turned back to Vlad and pointed at him while he's face raged on, "you!!!", he said very angrily.
