| Chapter # 4 |
| As she walked the long dirt trail, Kaula searched desperately for the small dragon shrine that was rumored to be on the Leikaku mountain. "Damn, is it possible that the shrine isn't even on this mountain at all, Majick?" She huffed angrily. "Lady Kaula," replied the young mage, "All the villages have pointed to this mountain as the location to the shrine of the black dragon. I have no doubt that it was once here." "WHAT?" she yelled, frustration aparent, "Just what do you mean by "was once"?? We are taking a large risk confronting the Leikaku bandits like this, that shrine had better be here!!! And in immaculent shape to boot!" "No, you are missing the point my Lady," he calmly spoke, a bit of agitation heard in his voice. "The shrine does not have to be present in order to summon the dragon... All you need do is find his resting place, or the original location of the shrine, then, you can summon him." "But if we can't see the shrine, how do we know where to summon him?? I have come much too far to throw away my dreams now, Majick!" "Calm yourself Lady Kaula, the other mages and I have already told you that we would locate the shrine. But you must remember to keep your end of the bargain by keeping the Leikaku bandits busy while we prepare! Not to mention, Lady Kaula, you mustn't forget the wish you promised us, because we will be there to collect!" "Ohh you'll have your damned wish, don't you worry about it!! But not before I bring my brother back from the dead!" "I have no quarrel with that, Lady Kaula..." He murmered as he trailed behind her a bit. Majick despised following the orders of a mere mortal. He was actually ashamed, but she was one of the last survivors of her kind, princess to her royal family, and the only one left with the dragon sealer's bloodlines. He must do everything within his power to make her believe he is loyal to her!! He had hoped to summon the dragon with Nakago, but due to his calling from the gods, the summoning might not have worked, and the risk of losing the wishes was just too high. The duty of summoning the dragon has been passed down in Majick's family for centuries, each generation failing to properly summon the evil beast, but Majick intended to put an end to that streak! He gained many followers on the way, all of them mages from families that have been broken by mortal, magic fearing man. And he promised them, that the day would come where he would lead them down the path to becoming gods!! Never again to be chased out of towns, beaten senslessly, or forced to watch a family member die!! 'I will be the one to bring peace to the lives of those who have known nothing but hatred!' He thought to himself as he brushed back a long lock of light blue hair, 'I will save you all...' |
