Beauties and the Beast
Chapter 1: Thread of destiny
The past...Present...
The future...
Neither can exist without the other...Past that she wanted to turn into beautiful memories of your mother and friends...Present, in which she sought keys to restore world's biggest nightmare...
The future... no all versions of the future, which could happen at the same time and yet not...
Once again, he took a deep breath and let out a wide stream of ice in front of him trying to hit a small creature before him keep dodging it attacks. She landed on one of the more flat pieces of ice then almost without moment of rest jumped again. Another icy breath passed her and just left another frozen path.
"You can’t escape me," echoed a loud bass, which was further strengthened by the reflecting on several large pieces of ice. She covered her ears hiding behind one of the larger pieces, which under the influence echoes started to crumble.
"I have found you," mighty paw crushed bent ice spire and when he raised it up saw nothing but pieces of ice.
"No," woman's voice reply echoed around.
"Don’t you see child," with a calm voice said blue-scaled giant winged reptile. "I’m much older and more powerful than even this so-called my descendant," at this point he looked away in the direction of similar like him giant with a giant ice spire sticking straight out of it chest. His body was frozen in a pose that betrays a fight till the end. The upper arms was still tightly clenched around a protruding spine and wings still protecting the two smaller pieces of ice, on which could be seen impressions of two human-sized shapes. Any blood that dripped from every earlier received wound has frozen long ago creating a huge crimson sheet of ice around the corpse.
'Don’t listen to him,' spoken a gentle, soothing voice in her head. 'That's not why the other slayers gave their lives for you so that even you to share their fate...'
Darting between each shelter stealthily glanced around. In one place where was gathered many small ice spikes still lay frozen out pieces of flesh, which had belonged to a man or maybe woman too mangled to be able to identify to whose they belong before. From the one been highest still was moving from time to time by wind remnant of long golden hair. In another place, lay the upper body of blue-haired little girl. Her eyes forever frozen with expression of total surprise.
"Face it. You're last and will soon join your friends," he said calmly when he smashed another piece of ice that served her just for temporary shelter and at the same time containing inside another body. After been crushed frozen parts of corpse rolled around. Next to the purple-haired woman leg stopped a man's head with pink hair but she quickly looked away so as not to stare at the empty eyes.
'Each of them devoted themselves so you can have that one chance to land a hit and end this horror,’ again said the soothing voice. She began to be surrounded with multi-colored aura that caught the attention of the enemy.
"You still cling to the hope that you can beat me?" he laughed at full voice as his eyes started glowing red and his whole body surrounded the dark, mixed with blue aura.
Once again, she looked in the direction of a nearby ice obelisk, from which protrudes fully frozen hand and part of face of blond-haired slayer. Next to lay tear off black-haired boy's head with almost intact spine hanging from his neck.
"I don’t cling to it," she shouted when the energy surrounding her began to focus. She jumped to a nearby flat piece of ice ignoring protruding from the side arm with a few metal ornaments and hand-like metal blade. "I will defeat you," she said and began to take the air.
"Don’t be so sure of yourself," he said a completely calm voice and also began to take the air.
"Darkness White Roar of Ice Fire Dragon," an enormous stream of darkness, light, ice and fire combined into one focused attack flew straight toward the giant monster in front of her when she dropped to his knees as she felt her strength begin to leave her body.
"Ice Dragon Roar," almost casually spit a stream of ice that collided with the impending toward him attack. It took a long time before a huge explosion enveloped the monster and threw her away. Coughing blood looked slightly down and saw an ice spike sticking out of her chest. She didn’t hear the voice of the enemy when the world began to fade and darken around her...
"One more push," despite the pain that she was feeling heard woman's voice. Gathering up again the remaining strength done what she was instructed and moment later in the room was filled with a loud cry. Hearing this, she lay exhausted on the bed.
"Good job. It's a girl," she heard again when thru half-closed eyelids was looking ahead and realizing that the person sitting next to her was still holding her hand.
"I'm proud of you," said in a low voice and leaning forward kissed her on the cheek not even for a moment letting go of her hand. He glanced sideways in the direction of a woman holding in her hand still screaming little helpless creature. "How is our daughter?"
"Very lively. I haven’t seen for a long time such a vigorous newborn and it seems she want to her mother," said the nurse and went closer to the lying woman. Considering that nothing would happen gave her a small bundle. Purple-haired woman freeing her hand from the grasp of sitting by the bed man embraced screaming child who almost immediately calmed down and looked up with her brown eyes.
"She has your eyes," he said when slightly bent so that he also could see his newborn daughter. Infant looked away for a moment from her mother's curiously looking toward her father. Slowly, so he won’t scare her moved his hand toward her check when almost immediately it been covered with a white frost as soon as the breath of newborn touched his skin.
"And seems she have your innate ability to use magic," she said still feeling tired after the childbirth.
"I'll leave you two alone for now," he said, and slowly stood up. "I have to see my father and tell him the good news," he said, being almost at the door of the room.
He didn’t say anything just been looking at her when he was leaving room. She felt strange though it may just as felt her mother when she was born.
Several hours later, the girl's father came into the room again.
"And how is our baby?" he asked as he sat on a chair beside the bed.
"Very well. Though already causing troubles," she said.
"What?" slight worried looked at his wife.
"Even during feeding involuntary using her magic," she said, not taking her eyes off the little ones held in her arms.
"Ahh that," slightly blushed and stood up. "I'll talk to my father about the temporary sealing her magic. At least until you stops feeding her."
"Thank you, darling."
"Did you think about name for her?" he asked stopping at the door.
"The only one I could came with was Ur," she said.
"Same as your mother," thought for a moment until he smiled. "I like it. So our baby will be called Ur."
She didn’t say anything but smiled slightly when she heard the rustle of the closing door.
"The darkness in you is strong. Unless it consumes you first you can become a lot stronger," with almost emotionless voice said Riganton looking at almost faint when compared to her body person standing in front of.
"It won’t consume me," said with a firm voice purple-haired young woman looking up at the giant winged shape shrouded in the darkness.
"Training is not easy and any moment of weakness will cost you anything. For this you are also prepared?" the dragon asked, slightly losing interest in the dim human standing before her.
"You are trying to scare me off or simply will not able to teach me magic, which I heard you should know the dragon of the darkness?" gave her a cold stare waiting for answer.
"My intentions are not your concern human," slightly bored blew a small black cloud that slowly fell down. "But everything has to have its place. May your motives not vanish as darkness when it’s touched by first rays of light."
"My motives..."
"I was thinking what it's like to feel the pleasure of being a dragon slayer," she said wearily when slightly moved her hands so that both was lying on his head.
"Something... hard to describe," he said. "It's hard to find words to describe it," slowly joined his hands so that now held her as she lay on him.
"I would give much to find out that," she said slightly changing her position but not so much that their bodies would separate.
"You want to be dragon slayer?" he asked savoring her closeness. Her naked body, which he held in his arms. Her scent, which he loved so much.
"I wish we could stay this was for eternity. And now, goodnight," she kissed him and closed her eyes falling asleep quite fast. He looked at her face for a moment before he also feel like sleepiness getting over him and reaching with his hand caught lying near blanket and covered them with it.
"Hey beautiful," he said when she finally broke the kiss.
"Hey beast," she responded been in an exceptionally good mood. Before she manages add anything seen as a ball lying on a nearby table started to shine.
"You recalling them now or just always drifting off for a moment?" slightly sarcastically asked the dragon.
"Never mind," shook her head slightly. "So we starting or not?"
"Such impatient," a little crouched allowing women to climb on her back and spread her wings slowly rising into the air. Slowly moving wings flew towards the mountains marking it presence somewhere on the horizon. After an hour, maybe a little longer she landed in front of the entrance to a large cave.
"Feast your eyes on the outside world because we won’t quickly return to the surface," said the dragon before it disappeared after a while inside the lair. A woman took out a teal orb and connected with the person on the other end of the line.
"How is the training?" asked the man.
"It will start soon. When I’ll have some time I would call you to report," said brown eyed mage.
"Good," a moment he ended connection.
"Is it a dragon slayer?" she heard Riganton voice when entered inside the cave.
"What you mean a slayer?" answered a question with a question.
"Usually mages are young children as they begin to learn and you do not look for such person. So it's because of another dragon slayer," despite of the almost totally darkness inside she noticed a slight confusion on mage face.
"Maybe," she said, feeling slightly embarrassed.
"Do you remember the first meeting with me and what I said back then?"
Evening was approaching when she approaching towards the nearby mountains. Somewhere in the midst of them according to information she gathered should still be a dragon, or at least so said the locals. The giant winged reptile that sometimes one of them had seen during the night gliding almost noiselessly over the buildings. Always whenever there was a dark night that any could barely see anything.
"Do you think there is some dragon?" asked slightly bored blue-haired man with a tattoo on the right side of the face.
"If it’s I’ll find him," said purple-haired woman moving silently between the bushes slowly going away from nearby buildings.
"If you say so," he said before his thought projection faded away leaving her alone. Several minutes later, somewhere over her heard a flutter of wings. Stopping looked up, trying to see anything in the sky. Moon was in it new phase so it was almost completely dark around and also the light from lying near buildings wasn’t reaching here.
‘Show yourself,' she thought again, having moved ahead still hearing somewhere above her head flapping wings. Sometimes quite far sometimes very close but didn’t stop even for a moment. The report mentioned the villagers who meet mysterious creature usually was trying to hide curling with fear or tried to escape.
"Strange scent surrounds you," came voice from somewhere between the trees on which she stopped and let go slowly in front of her a small ball that started pacing around.
"You're one of them, or...?" voice hung up for a while when right before woman shone a pair of greenish eyes. The ball flew straight ahead crossing just something about the consistency of thick fog until it returned to the woman's hand.
"I don’t feel this magic in you but your scent is so similar to their," eyes vanished and then she heard the flapping of wings. The ball has multiplied, and when the glowing eyes re-emerged near flew in that direction. Flew again as if nothing was there but eyes were still there and seemed to approach the mage until stopped almost in front of her. However she still couldn’t see anything except a vague shape and now she felt it breath on her face.
"No I’m sure you not one of them but your scent is so strongly imbued with their scent. Quite like you just recently..." her voice trailed off again.
"Like what?" finally spoke ice mage.
"And nothing just nothing," this time it seemed that the dragon chuckled. "It doesn’t matter. So any particular reason you looking for me?"
"You are a dragon who can learn slayer magic?" she clearly blunt out the reason. Hearing this, the dragon moved away a bit so she didn’t even seen the eyes. Minutes passed as she stood and nothing happened until he yelled. "Then you can’t."
"Oh no," around her appeared a black shape. "Just a little surprising that someone so openly expressed such a wish. I don’t remember anyone in the last few hundred years to do it. You're an interesting human." Again, before her appeared a pair of greenish eyes, "What's your name?"
"Ultear Milkovich," said the time mage.
"If your resolve is strong come back here within two or three weeks," shape began to dissipate. "Then I Rigantona judge if you worthy to be my pupil."
After these words the dragon flew away silently leaving Ultear alone among the trees.
