The powerful pounding of Mugen trying to smash through the boulder, blocking his path up, resounded through the many halls leading out of this hollow room home to a large lake of water. Swimming there were Guresh and his companions, who, five yards below where Mugen was trying to break free, moved over the edge of the lake to climb out and onto the cold stone while looking up at what Mugen was doing while bits and pieces of debris fell into the water.

Guresh shook his head and shouted. “You’re an idiot, you’ll find nothing but death that way.” While the orders ran down one of the smaller hallways leading out of this underground space; their footsteps trailing off in the background.

Mugen then finally shattered the large boulder and saw clear air above, but as soon as he flew out he’d feel his body harassed by such thermal heat that he suffered first degree burns immediately, even on his transformed skin. The only reason he wasn’t roasted to ashes was because of Keldran whose attempts split the wave of fire into a large V that left everything behind him in the ‘safe-zone’, including the large hole that Mugen had opened again.

The further Keldran walked up across the hill, the harder his struggles would become due to the oppressing force of the dragon’s fire becoming greater and greater but even so the swordman never yielder so that finally he managed to outlast the flames which dissipated as the Dragon reared its head back and inhaled before it stretched its wings once more and screeched out loudly as if to send a warning signal to all who could hear it. During this moment, Keldran would once again hear the voice of Agnis.

“My brother’s scales are like diamond, and his claws strong enough to carve through mountains. You won’t beat him before finishing your trials. After me and one other, he is the strongest dragon in this realm. In your current state you won’t even be able to scratch him. Son, you are fighting a battle that cannot be won.”.

If Keldran went against the words of Agnis he’d once more feel that crimson chakra welling up, however it would be like when he fought the Wyverns, not like when he just fought Guresh, meaning it wasn’t up to par; which was due to the amount of stamina Keldran had used since entering the Dragon Realm and never having taken a rest. Even so, he could feel Agnis aid him as he heard the voice of the Dragon King once more.

“Use your summoning technique. Since you’ve shown your bravery I will grant you an early reward.”

If using the summoning technique, Keldran would summon a young red dragon (you may decide on its looks) that was slightly larger than the Wyverns fought earlier but not much. It looked built for speed more than strength, which was a given due to its young age, and could also speak in both draconic and common tongue. (Personality chosen by you. This will be your personal Dragon summon that’ll grow with you etc.)

Agnis continued: “After you finish your trials, you’ll be able to summon other Dragons as well. Larger and more powerful. And potentially, at some point, even myself. Heh. If I choose to answer your call, that is, Sapphire Hero.”

The Titanic green dragon stood up on its read legs before stomping its front legs back onto the ground, then starting to run down the hill before spreading its wings and batting them to act speed as it lifted its claws from the ground and flew down to Keldran at great speeds.

Agnis spoke again. “Now, my child of prophecy, fly! Spread thy wings and move as fast as the winds can carry you. Escaping my brothers wrath will be yet another of your trials. Now… FLY!”

[If Keldran chose to mount his new dragon and start flying away, whether with Mugen or not, the Green Dragon prince would follow in an aerial assault that’s to be continued in part 3.]
