[center][b][i]Aster[/i][/b][/center] The man had fallen, but the warrior did not take long to regain conciousness from the attack and stood up again, brushing himself off and cracking his neck like the blows were nothing. Simply grinning at the grandfather dragon, he tapped his chin before pulling out a golden geared up handcannon, a magical energy emitting from the barrel. Dragon magic. [b]"Now good man I could demonstrate our latest weapons, powerful enough to take down a grandfather dragon in a shot... But that would be a waste of precious energy. I'll show you back at headquarters."[/b] The armored man mused as he glanced at his companion at the bar before smirking at the grandfather. [b]"You really should have thought this over, old dragon. You're red headed friend gave you a great chance to escape yet you foolishly walked in here and picked a fight. Especially when we have your friends captive.... Their magic is valuable, but I'm not against slaying them now and cutting them in itty bitty pieces before your eyes. After all, dragons are useful dead or alive."[/b] he said before digging a heel into the hilt of true sword stuck in Aster's belly, causing a scream from the unconscious adult. [b]"Or perhaps I should try the teens? Their magic isn't quite as plentiful just yet after all... Oh.. And they can also live without a few body parts. Maybe I should take a eye to go with my other one?"[/b] The man chuckled as he moved over to the netted teens, bringing his sword to point directly down at them, swinging side to side just so close to the eyes. He then blinked as he glanced over to see the other man at the bar, another dragon. They caught quite the package deal. The barkeeper Moris had the boy from behind, but as the nets were tossed, the dragon transformed into a rabbit like creature and hopped away. He tsked at the stupidity of the lower hunters. [b]"I'll have to hire some experienced dragon hunters."[/b] he mused casually before shrugging. [b]"Net the red and let's head back. Before this one bleeds to death and those dragon worshippers get here. He tries anything, take the teens eyes or ears."[/b] he said, picking up Aster roughly and flung him over the shoulder before walking through the dark alley. It took a bit, but they soon reached a large building, a sign noting the name of the guild building. The Sinister Saints. --- [center][b][i]Myrtle[/i][/b][/center] The human blinked curiously as Siabel explained what exactly the little girl was, while pulling Myrtle closer to the black dragon for safety. That little girl was a grand grand dragon? How interesting. Guess all dragons just have interesting compact appearances of all different shapes and sizes. Although it did not take long for the little girl to stand looking absolutely livid and storming over to them. Yelling at Siabel for bringing humans here. Siabel pulled Momo behind her for safety. Despite how her two companions seemed quite nervous by the angered little girl, Myrtle hardly seemed gaze and just looked at her curiously. Myrtle was after all, known to be brave to a fault. As she was poked, she had to stifle a giggle, mosh because her tummy was sensitive. Worry then clouded her emerald gaze at the words there blonde spoke of. A friend in trouble? At the realization, she sighed and facepalmed before ruffling her red hair thoughtfully as she tried to keep calm and think. This was a serious situation to worry about, since by the sounds of it, Aster got captured by hunters. However, panicking or getting angry about it wasn't going to help anybody. Keeping calm and thinking over the information she had will. Though she blinked as a tentacle wrapped around her and lifted her up, and moving her along with the little girl. Despite wanting to gawk and examine the strange thing happening, she tried to remained focus as she crossed her arms thoughtfully. [b]"Mhmm well the hunters were talking about making something like that about a year ago. They did suggest for me to make it but I had better things to do. But there was this interesting jewel they found... Mhmm my hypothesis would be they imbedded their machines with that jewel. It's a quite a new gem they discovered and I found as well. By examinations, it's like a magical parasite. Draining any kinds of magic, be it from human mages, unicorns, whatever. Though the more powerful the magic, the more side. Effects it causes to the victims. Since dragons have the most magical energy then anything, well then the end result for them is death if fully exposed to it. They must of found a way to harness it to their own advantage. They might even be able to harness them enough to make use the side effects it has on dragons. Make them lose their minds to the point they just simple animals."[/b] the girl explained, rattling off her thoughts of what this could be. [b]"So if we're lucky, they won't use it immiedietly. I think they talked about having other experiments before fully just killing a dragon."[/b] Myrtle finished.
