Location:Lumien city
"I still can't believe he couldn't take control of that dragon.Isn't he a summor?"
Liora sighed in frustration as she stared at Yubashi recovering on the hospital bed,Ren sitting in a wooden chair beside him.
Ren's hands tighten the staff she held at Liora's words,voice protective."Well,If he had enough mana he would have done it,iam sure of it?"
Liora gave her an intimidating glance,causing her to shiver."Your low standards are gonna be your downfall Ren.Hope is just a tool used by people like you to distract themselves from reality.
The room falls silent to take in all that happened.After some time, mumbling can be heard from outside the hospital room, catching their attention.
The door gently opens,revealing a warrior in red armor,his long,flowing white hair completing his appearance."Luckily the paralysis did not do much damage to his body.His mana is just dangerously low cause of the commoner spell he used.Still,it's impressive he was able to neutralize my spell.
Ren approaches him nervously,voice concerning."B-but he will be alright, right Magenta?"
Magenta nods,causing her to sigh in relief.All she cared about was whether Yubashi was doing well.
Suddenly a member of the guilt rushed in the room and stoped to catch her breath,adjusting her glasses.
"Captain!We have found traces of the dragon you lost yesterday.If my analysis is correct,the recent location of the traces we found are in the Beast Lands."
The mention of the Beast Lands made all of them shiver."Beast Lands huh?"Magenta sighed quietly.Liora gulped,she heard the stories of what happens at the mysterious location.Some say once you go there you never return,others say monsters found there lure you to them for a quick snack.
Even though they are certainly rumors,the taughts of going there terrifies her slightly.
"Ummm,it's not like we are going there right away captain?"Ren's eyes widen shakingly as she spoke the words.
"The only thing that matters as of now is finding a way to capture that dragon,even if it means heading to the Beast Lands.Ren can stay with Yubashi If she wants to."
"I'll group up a team to go and investigate the lands before we take measures captain,"the woman in glasses says while writing In a small book she held.
"Thanks Juda,let's go Liora,"Magneta responds as he heads for the door,Liora following him.
The place fell silent as Juda and Ren glared at Jubashi.
"You really care about him huh?"Juda calmy addresses her.To be honest I haven't seen anyone who could counter Captain's spell.
Ren places a gentle hand on Jubashi's hair."Of course I do,he was the only one who saw me more than just....a healer.I don't know how I'll thank him."
Yubashi slowly gains conciousnes,causing everyone to flinch.A single sound is not made while he gets out of the bed.He looks at his gloves on the counter besides the bed,damaged badly as he sighs.
'Yubashi!Iam glad your....
Before she could finish he covers her mouth shut with his left hand,closing his eyes and taking a deep breath,focusing his mana.
He senses a cold,dark energy coming from outside the city,his expression serious Ren blinks rapidly in confusion.
"This energy,scared,it couldn't be."He looks at the window in front of the bed he was in.
"Is he?"Juda asks,unfazed
'Yes he is,"Ren replies,sighing heavily.
Yubashi jumps on top of the bed into raming himself into the window.The window's glass shatters,as Ren's eyes widen.
The pressure of the air pushing him down.For some reason he was unfazed by t how high he was from the ground.
He suddenly summons a bird,grapping into it's leg as he flies to where the energy is coming from.
The scene catches the attention of some civilians roaming the city, some staring in confusion while others in entertainment.
"What the hell is that?"A civilian asked in laughter.
"Maybe it's the second coming of the Hirodashi eyes,"One jokingly mentioned,causing other residents to stare at him in offense.One of them smacked his head.
"You idiot!Don't go around joking about that.Unlike you we don't want to remember that horrible event
Two gatekeepers guarding the Great Gate
took notice of the flying figure,as one of them points a spear at him.
"That damn bird again,"The skilled gatekeeper's grip on the spear tightening.
"Are you sure love,I don't think its a bird,"The other gatekeeper says,squinting her eyes.
"I'll take my chances,"He replies as he throws the spear at full speed at the target.
Yubashi barely notices something flying straight at him,but before he could do anything,the spear pierces the bird,it's presence vanishing as he falls.
"Bulls-eye,"the gatekeeper beams,proud of himself,as the other shakes her head with a smile.
"No problem I'll make another one,"he says calmy,falling head down towards the ground. He tried summoning another bird but a discharge occured as he felt a slight zap throughout his body,making it difficult for him to control his movement,interrupting him.
The proud gatekeeper squints his eyes to clearly see the falling 'bird' but his eyes widen slightly as he notices what it was.
"Uh love I think that's Yubashi,"He points up at the figure while looking at her.
The other gatekeeper notices too,causing herself to panic."Then why are you not doing anything you idiot!"
She immediately reaches her hands up,palms turning purple as she calls out a spell which releases purple strands of silk at Yubashi.The silk extends towards him,wrapping around his body,slowly bringing him to the ground.
"What the hell were you doing!"She gasped in rage as she placed him in front of her,strands of silk releasing him from her grasp.
"M-mom?"
"Don't mom me mister,what the hell were you...
Before she could finish her sentence she feels a hand on her shoulder.
"Come on Maria let the kid be a kid,he must have a reasonable explanation of what he just did right champ!"the guardian grinned as he offered his hand to him.
Yubashi nodded as he accepted his father's hand,getting up.
" I felt a mysterious energy coming from this direction,"he said in an emotionless tone,pointing his finger at the exit.
"Well where is your party then eh?Don't think iam letting you go outside.Atleast have that sweet healer accompany you,"her voice high,protective.
He scratched his forhead looking away,realizing that he left them behind.He was focused on the energy he felt.
Suddenly a high pitch calling his name from behind can be heard,catching their attention.
The high pitch came from non other than Ren running awkwardly towards them in quick breaths
"About time,"the male gatekeeper grinned.
Yubashi glanced at her in surprise as she stopped besides him to catch her breath.
She clears her throat ,voice stuttering."I-i was c-confused by w-what you did earlier s-so I wanted to ask you i-if something is wrong.
She swallowed hard after finishing her sentence,clearly not recovered from all the running she did.
"Oh...well....I felt....
Before he could finish a dee,joyful voice interrupts him."Perfect timing uh..Ren!You can support him on his journey or something.
"W-well if he allows me to of course,"her warm voice filling the atmosphere.
"Iam ok with it if you are, Ren,"He says while approaching the giant gate.
His mother sighs in frustration as she nods,agreeing.
The two gatekeepers stand behind the gate,the man calling his back.They cross their spears together in an 'X' sigh.
"As we open the great gate we hope your journey goes well with our blessing."
The spears shine bright as the gate slowly opens,catching some of the civilians' attention.
The two adventurers approach the gate as a black and white bird flies past them.
"Hey it's that bird I was looking for!"the male gatekeeper shouts.
"They will take care of it,focus."she talks back.
Y-yes mam,we will look into it,"Ren smiles back at them.
"And Jubashi...pls be careful son,"her mom's voice concerning.
Jubashi gives a thumbs up with a straight face as the gate fully opens.
They walk out of the city into the wild,as the gate closes behind them.Outside,every creature fights for survival,where a single mistake may take away the life of another instantly.The strong strong the weak and the weak try to survive that's all.
Meanwhile at the advanced fire guilt.....
Two groups get ready to roam the Beast Lands for the dragon.
Magneta walks in with Liora,catching the attention of every member.
"Are you all ready?"He asks the two groups as he walks past them.
The two groups consisted of a captain,two attackers,a supporter and a healer.
"Yes sir!"The captains of the two groups shout in sync
"Perfect,and remember your role.Get all the information you can that can help us to easily locate the dragon.Its that simple."
