Mythical creatures

"Khaing , can you scout ahead for me in your soul form?"

He asked as he was soaring in the sky.

Since she can be seen by him alone, it is perfect to send her scout ahead.

" My soul is attached to you so I cannot go far away from your presence_ but I will try how much as far as I can leave your presence. Please wait a moment."

Khaing disappeared as she finished explaining her situation. He needed to make sure there were no territorial mythical creatures on his way _he didn't want another encounter with other dragon clans or some mythical creatures.

A day passed quickly as he was slowly gliding in the sky while practicing his new found principle of magic with many new ways and theory.

Khaing appeared again in front of him.

"There is no sight of mythical creatures front ahead _ but there are many groups of mythical creatures heading toward the center of the forest from the other side of the forest _ unfortunately I cannot go that far to look for details.

They must be coming for the fruit. He increased his speed ahead since there is nothing to worry about in between him and the divine tree.

A fierce battle was waiting for him as he approached a tall tree, covered in razor sharp leaves and thorny vines.

Three creatures were attacking each other near the tree_ the head of an eagle,the body of a lion, and the wings of a falcon_ a graffin, a horse with a horn at his head and wings at his back _ a unicorn and a giant bird made out of flames_ a phoenix.

The battle was fierce_ the surrounding trees all broken and fell onto the ground.

A few corpses of other mythical creatures can be seen near the base of the tree_ all with various wounds on their bodies_ but the wounds that look away their lives seem to be the same_ a large hole at the center of their chests.

A purple mana mass form at the center of them, making them gaze on wonder for a while _ followed by a hasty backward step from the battlefield and covering them with energy shields. Three energy beams _ each directed toward each of them shoot out from the mana mass _ fortunately their shields managed to block them just in time. They all looked around and saw a dragon standing near.The beak of griffin, the horn of unicorn and feathers of phoenix glow with some light and three energy beams_all directed toward the dragon shoot out from them.

Min didn't move an inch_ and unrespectfully, didn't even look at the energy blast as they approached quickly_just fixing his eyes at the fruit on the tree. A concave purple shield appeared in front of him and blocked all three energy beams.

The pupils widen they looked at Min with unbelievable eyes. A dragon _looked like merely passed his juvenile stage_ easily blocked the attacks from them_ all at their mature stages for more than 1000 years_ at once and his arrogant seen too cunning.

"So that is the fruit that can make you the king of your race."

"How many of the creatures have given up their lives just because of their greed upon their own race_ a king to rule all, instead of a king to protect all."

The unicorn steps forward while flipping its wings. An energy shield wrapped him.

"Don't talk nonsense_ you are also here for the fruit just like us right?_ join the fight, only the last one standing can go near the tree for fruit."

" Your races are more greedy than us and you dare to say those words_ the last creature from 5000 years ago to ascend the kinghood was a dragon and since every next 1000 years dragons are eager to take the fruit_ but unfortunately the only thing they ever got was their miserable deaths."

The graffin commented on the dragon's word and walked aside slowly preparing to launch a surprise attack.

The phoenix spreads its wings, fly up to a higher place mid air while it's angry eyes locked on the dragon.

"Every 1000 years, five races from nine intelligence mythical creatures gather here with their top 10 strongest among them_ and through a fair fight between 5 selected ones, one from each race, the last one standing took the chance to claim fruit from tree with the help of its fellows from its race_some from other races even help the winner to take the fruit although they may be from a difference race. Then the race which won the fruit didn't participate in the next 1000 years but they assisted the one who won to acquire the fruit. The circle continues and after all 5 races are accomplished in acquiring the fruit and a king from their race, the process repeats with all 5 races participating in the fight. Dragons, Griffin, Unicorns, Phoenix and Garuda( a creature with a human face with a beak, a human body with large feathered wings at back and the legs of an eagles equipped with sharp claws) all followed that rules even though there was no formal agreement. For a decade, that was the the tradition, that was a scared way, until that evil dragon disrupted.
