Meanwhile, high above Lunar, just out of reach of the fireworks, the steady beating of large wings broke up the air flow. Are you sure about this my rider? The male dragon questioned in their link while turning his head to look at the boy.501Please respect copyright.PENANAh9e9ffka69

He nodded as his blue eyes glared at the land below through his black bangs. “That is ‘my master’, get it right as I have say so I’m more than simply your rider, and yes, I’m sure. She needs to pay for how she treated me.”501Please respect copyright.PENANAiepfkBhFqf

The dark blue dragon looked back at the floating island with his yellow slit eyes. As you wish, my master. He answered before flying up into the air, twisted around and headed towards the land.501Please respect copyright.PENANAReJx3bRc8Z

Outside the city Alura cried, hiccupping as she tried to stop her tears and that hurtful moment to stop replaying in her mind. I can’t believe him…he lied to me. She gripped her fists tightly. And to think I actually believed him! She closed her eyes tightly causing more to fall as her jaw tightened along with her fists. “Ginsu…where are you right now?” she whispered as her head lowered towards the ground under the moonlight of the three moons.501Please respect copyright.PENANALVxfWoRx2k

“You look pitiful and here by the way they spoke…” Talon spoke which caused her breath to catch in her throat and eyes to snap open. “That you would be something great but you aren’t.” She looked up shocked as her jaw fell open at the sight of her teenaged brother sitting on the back of a mighty dragon. He smirked as the wind blew around his short black hair. “Surprised?” he asked with a small smirk on his lips.501Please respect copyright.PENANAsLygv0CJeo

“T-T-Talon?” she asked taking a step towards him then two back as she looked him over. “What are you doing here? Did Ginsu or Hiatsu send you?”501Please respect copyright.PENANARIDTNSHrMD
501Please respect copyright.PENANA0mecuvYoHb
Talon gripped the reins tightly with his smirk falling into a frown. “Ginsu?” he snarled, “so you are still infatuated with that damned Water God?” he hissed icily.501Please respect copyright.PENANA7jxv1YCnfM
501Please respect copyright.PENANAqdkOgWL9to
Alura blinked wiping her eyes confused. “What’s wrong, Talon? Why do you sound angry and what do you mean by ‘infatuated’?”501Please respect copyright.PENANARVeEbg2U2U
501Please respect copyright.PENANAIyYrWQ5UYX
He lifted one arm out to his side, his cold blue eyes set on Alura as wind began to collect and swirl around his opened palm and slightly curled fingers. “You can’t fool me by playing stupid, sister. You will soon understand and feel what you made me feel.” He growled darkly as the wind picked up, sparking and manifested into a pole like spear weapon became solid in his hand once he grabbed the lightning wind. He stood on the dragons back and looked to the beast. “Go and attack the city, make them pay for allowing my sister residence.”501Please respect copyright.PENANAUhLdEmR0Oz
501Please respect copyright.PENANAwoLqmuIGoY
The dragon sighed with a heavy snort and nodded. As you command, my master. It didn’t want to as it didn’t see the need but wasn’t about to disobey the one who it had a bond with.501Please respect copyright.PENANANA153V5uV7
501Please respect copyright.PENANANF1apHbPBD
“What?! No!” she shouted and gasped as Talon leapt off the beast and came down at her with his weapon. He swung the curved blade down at her as she jumped back in time to dodge, allowing him to slam into the ground hard. When the dust from the crash cleared there was wind surrounding underneath him which cushioned his impact. He stood upright and charged her, swinging and stabbing as she moved back with dodges and maneuvers to avoid being hit. “I’m not fighting you!” she shouted as she turned her back on him and ran.501Please respect copyright.PENANADILJeMrUGg

She looked up and saw the dragon had flown closer to the city and was charging lightning in its mouth. “Stop!” she screamed digging her heels in as she changed direction, racing towards the city and the dragon as wings shot out of her back. She shook her head as she tried to make them flap. She got them going and flew before the beast and summoned forth a curved wall of flames.501Please respect copyright.PENANAcuQ8OywTDT
501Please respect copyright.PENANA5dESdNx3BF
The dragon shot out its attack the second her shield was up and the lightening shoved her back while she adjusted the curves of the flames, trying to direct the lightning back at the beast and at the ground. Some bolts struck and caused damage to the ground and trees. None of them, to her dismay, were able to be shot back at the beast. She grunted as she tried to stay her place in the air but was being pushed back more. After just moments she had to drop the flames and at the same time she darted out of the way. The remainder of the lightning struck a building and sent the people screaming and running for shelter. Several demons did grab armor and weapons, if they used those, and took flight to battle the dragon with ground support.501Please respect copyright.PENANAmUla64QeK6

Alura made a rough landing with a hard thud and stumbling. She didn’t get time to catch her breath until Talon was on her and swinging his weapon down at her. She rolled out of the way and got to her feet, summoning flames to block the weapon as it was stabbed at her. “What is going on with you?!” she barked desperate for answers. “Why are you attacking me and these people?!” her face twisted into more confusion as he began to chuckle.501Please respect copyright.PENANA5IknJJJotL
501Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZbbKxul9G
“I already told you, sister, I’m going to make you pay and feel the same lonely feelings you caused me. You ignored me, you forgot I existed and why?” he growled glaring hatred at her. “All because you wanted to hang out with that blasted God of Water!” he yelled at the same time as he summoned and shoved her back with a strong gust of wind. “You didn’t care about me the second you met that stupid god!” he pointed his weapon towards her. “You didn’t want me anymore and shoved me aside for years! Do you know how much that hurt?” he moved into a run as wings started to emerge a little from his shoulder blades. “Do you even care that it felt horrible to know that someone that you love is busy flaunting around with an older man?”501Please respect copyright.PENANAig313FKoRP
501Please respect copyright.PENANAFSYXLPJEGq
“Gah!” she put up more flames to block a sideways swing of his weapon, deflecting it before he used wind to snuff out her flames. “I didn’t know me spending time with Ginsu back then made you feel this way! I tried to find you before I left but I couldn’t so I was hoping you’d understand if Hiatsu or someone explained why I left.” She tried to reason while still avoiding fighting back and keeping on the defense.501Please respect copyright.PENANA9KjLRUSvRp
501Please respect copyright.PENANA0jRYB71o20
“You think I believe your lies? I’m not stupid and here I once felt angry at others for how they treated you at that stupid dinner.” He growled and swung then stabbed only for the weapon to be deflected as he was working her towards the edge of the island.501Please respect copyright.PENANAcyYeMVeOdz
501Please respect copyright.PENANAHkjKeQI6UM
“Talon I’m not lying! Ah!” she jumped as his weapon came down with wings springing out of his back in a bloody rain.501Please respect copyright.PENANAkJDO8GXGrH

Back in the city, Marenzo was trying to find that demon after he had lost sight of Alura and wanted them after he saw the dragon. He cursed under his breath and ran towards the Inn and ran upstairs fast. “What are you doing?!” Trim asked quickly with no answer given by the wizard. He ran up and into their room, grabbed Alura’s bag and ran back out, using bursts of teleporting to exit the Inn sooner. He ran towards the dragon as others who weren’t trained or fit for combat fled.501Please respect copyright.PENANAjET3zzrdIw

Damn it! Who’s attacking and why? He thought afraid in his mind as he picked up the pace. He opened her bag as he ran and reached around until he found the shrunken swords. He pulled out the two standard swords and muttered a word and they glowed, returning to their normal size. He closed the bag back up and by the time he found his way outside the city, seeing Alura and Talon, he charged up an ice spell. He shot it forwards at the teens back.501Please respect copyright.PENANAMLOo0PkXko
501Please respect copyright.PENANALBCjrj8cdV
Talon was focused with Alura trying to use fire to counter the funnel of wind that kept sparking and shocking her. His focus was broken when the bullet of ice struck and entered the back of his shoulder above his wing. “What?!” he hissed turning to see Marenzo already in a run around to the side.501Please respect copyright.PENANAUreHTmlEOU
501Please respect copyright.PENANAzdx1pxAQzD
The funnel broke and Marenzo already felt the ground harder to touch under his feet as he ran. “Alura!” he screamed and she looked over as she caught her breath. He tossed the pair of crossed swords to her and she caught them. Swiftly she took them from their sheaths and put them up in time, catching her brother’s weapon.501Please respect copyright.PENANAgQK9LrWlJM
501Please respect copyright.PENANAgcD23pfPBn
She glared at her brother, a bit of red starting to enter her brown-blue eyes. “Brother, cut this out right now.” She warned darkly through their weapons.501Please respect copyright.PENANAzmgb3w5Ym0
501Please respect copyright.PENANAyzu5CewrEa
He glared back sternly and showed no fear to her order. “I will cut it out, once you are suffering and die.” He ordered as he had wind circle his hands and the arm of the weapon. It began to spark as he had lightning trail up and follow her blades to electrocute her.501Please respect copyright.PENANAT45njvLel9
501Please respect copyright.PENANADepgk6mReG
As this happened she shoved up and pulled her blades apart. The three sharp edges rubbed against one another and exploded, throwing back both siblings a good distance from each other.501Please respect copyright.PENANA6FglqELTg0
501Please respect copyright.PENANA5hmM8pAQAH
They both stayed on the ground but slowly started to stand, Alura slowly moving with her injuries bleeding some as she turned her reddening gaze onto him. She pushed herself up and snarled, baring longer demon fangs with her nails having shifted into being sharper like claws would be. She took a step then ran before flapping her wings and charged him. Talon got up in time and put up his blade with wind to block the cross strike of the blades Alura had tried to preform to claim his head.501Please respect copyright.PENANAJdDop5ZcJm
501Please respect copyright.PENANAfyXmrhLbhz
Marenzo managed to get himself free of Talon’s winds that had been playing a game of ‘keep off the ground’ and shook his head. “No, no, no, no this is bad.” He moved towards them as he noticed the look in Alura’s eyes and recognized it as the same look she had when it came to his mother. “Bad! Bad! This is bad!” he muttered quickly under his breath as he tried to think. He looked up and saw the dragon was taking out demons left and right with its lightning, talons, tail and wings. It turned and began to charge a mighty lightning attack in its mouth, aiming it towards the siblings.501Please respect copyright.PENANA28zBC6WIi8
501Please respect copyright.PENANASsflGocO8e
Talon started charging an ice spell which was causing the ring to start cracking the more he charged the powerful spell. He hissed in pain as his face twisted with eyes closing. The dragon released his attack as did Marenzo just as the ring shattered into dust. The wizard fell back and was out of breath on the ground, struggling to make his body move to see if it worked. The two forms of magic met and exploded in a bright light and very loud sound, a third noise entering as well as Talon leapt back snarling. A large cloud of dust shot out over the area making it hard to see as things began to slowly quiet.501Please respect copyright.PENANAB3b6ch8DtZ
