P.O.V Lanius Frey
We had been traveling on foot West towards the Ruins of Blackmorn. It had been months of nothing but traveling. We stopped and did odd jobs every once in a while but mostly traveling.
We had finally pooled our money together and bought a stagecoach. Staying in a tiny village a week away from the Ruins we worked at the village making more money to purchase horses.
The name of that Tiny village was situated in a large mountainous region of the continent. The village was named Alveras, the people were very kind, some of the kids played with Blair and many people came to Lux to ask questions about Beast men.
I find myself carrying the most weight again.
"Hey Frey! Do you mind bringing that group of logs over here?"
"Yes sir!"
Lifting my hand up a gust of wind picked up the logs and levitated them down on the spot he directed.
"Thanks Frey that would have taken an hour or more!"
Tossing a silver coin my way I caught it and waved.
Putting my hand in my pockets the Titan Slayer launched itself out of the bag of holding.
"Lets ride?"
Glowing brightly it agreed with me. Taking my hands out from my pockets I jumped up, pointing my palms down I added a boost of wind to my jump.
Flying under my feet I smiled as I flew through the air.
"Acura! Acura!! Where have you disappeared to now!!"
A woman about ten years older than me stood at the edge of the woods Near the entrance of the town. She wore the clothes of an upper class woman. Her hair was long and black, but the tips were a fiery red color.
Jumping from the Sword I landed a couple feet in front of her.
"Hello, I couldn't help but notice you were a bit troubled?"
"Oh, hello! Your one of the newcomers to the village correct?"
"Yes ma'am, I've been offering my service around town doing odd jobs here and there."
Grabbing my hand she looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"Would you save my Acura? Ill pay anything! My poor boy, ran off into the woods. He does this all the time! This time he hasn't returned..."
"Don't worry my lady, I will look for him. What does he look like?"
Looking at me she spoke.
"He has red eyes and hair colored like mine. He's about 15."
"I'll be back."
Boosting into the air I flew into the forest on Titan Slayer.
Looking around the forest a flashback came thundering through my mind.
---
"Landor, where was the Dragon roost again?"
My brother Sat infront of a table of maps. Taking a red pin he placed it in the west.
"High atop the west mountain range sits a Dragon roost. To be technical that roost is of a fire dragon Mother. Unlike the Beast men and Elves the dragons of this region don't bother humans. Ive even heard rumors of knights befriending them and helping defend the tiny village from Monsters. The monsters of this region are kept in check by the Dragons. Such is the realm of the mountains."
"Wow! Dragons are amazing!! I hope I get to meet on someday."
"Remember not to insult them Lanius, they are very prideful."
---
Well, never thought I'd find myself in the Dragon country!
Looking across the large forest I noticed a small fire about a mile west. Leaning forward I shot across the sky.
stopping above the smoke I was given a truly horrifying sight.
The bodies of monsters charred and slashed to pieces everywhere. A boy sat next to a fire, he seemed to be bleeding from his right arm. Glowing red eyes could be see from a cave in front of him. He smiled and seemed to talk to the beast inside.
"Above us..."
"Hm?"
Looking up his jaw dropped.
"Hey you! How are you doing that?"
Waving I jumped from the Titan Slayer. As I came towards the earth I noticed the head of another creature, the boy didn't notice the other monster. The creature within the cave shouted.
"Acura Behind you!"
The monster let out a breath attack that shot towards the boy.
"Aria's wind!"
A giant tornado of wind surrounded the boy, the tornado deflected the flames towards the trees. across from the campfire.
Landing on the ground I smirked.
"Come on Titan slayer!"
Returning to my hands I funneled magic into the sword. It began to grow in size until the blade was ten feet long.
"Try me you furry freak!!!"
The blade's sure size smashed into the body of the giant bear. Breaking the bones of the bear it collapsed into the earth.
"Wind blade!"
The edges of the blade began to create a razor edge of wind cutting the bears head off.
Placing the blade on my shoulder I smiled.
"Howdy there!"
The kid looked at me in complete and total awe. He had black hair with fiery red tips.
"Acura right?"
"H-How do you know my name."
"Your Mother sent me out here looking for you."
"Oh... But I can't go! Not yet..."
"Hey Titan Slayer, hide away please."
Opening the bag of holding it hid inside.
"What's wrong?"
Looking away he gazed into the cave.
"Is it okay to tell him Igni?"
"He is..."
Stepping out of the cave the mighty dragon raised its head.
"They have finally found their mortal champion..."
Acura stood up and looked at the Dragon.
"All that stuff you told me about... This is the guy then?"
The dragon looked down at him and shouted.
"DO YOU NEVER LISTEN BOY!"
"Alright alright! I'm sorry... But all that stuff really made me tired."
"You do remember that this "stuff" affects the entire mortal realm!"
Laughing loudly I fell back on my ass.
"You crack me up!"
Looking at me the Dragon completely left his cave.
"It is a pleasure to meet the Champion of the mortal Races. I am the Fire Dragon Emperor Igneous, I rule over all the fire dragons."
"And I'm Acura Kenmore!! I take care of this overgrown lizard."
"If your goal was to anger me... ITS WORKING BOY!!"
"No No of course not! Take a joke man."
The dragon stood 20 feet tall, he had crimson red scales and a role of golden and black ones down his back.
Looking at the two it was one of the most unlikely pairs ever.
"Why are you two here?"
Laying down behind Acura, Igneous laid his head close to the unlit firepit. Opening his mouth slightly he re-lit the camp fire.
Grabbing a stick Acura stuck a marshmallow on the end.
"I was wondering the woods like I used to all the time. One day I came across this crazy old sword! Sure it was rusty but it was cool. Play fighting all over the forest I heard a roar inside the forest. Discovering this guy here wounded, a group of those bears Had surrounded him."
Igneous raised his head and slammed it into Acura.
"I had a... Disagreement with one of the other Dragon Emperors. We got in a fierce battle all across the the continent. Solomon hates it when I win... He left me with a massive gash on my underbelly. He came along and helped me fend off the bears. Afterwards he began to help me heal my wounds. I swore loyalty to the boy ever since."
I knew Dragons have a big thing for pride... But this dragon swore to protect him? These two are about as crazy as Lux, Blair, and I.
"He gave me an awesome gift!"
Standing up he walked over to the side.
"Heart of the Dragon!!!"
Igneous golden scales began to glow as fire erupted all around him.
"What the..."
As the flames disappeared Acura stepped forward. His head was adorned with long white dragon horns, his face had grown red scales and he sprouted a long red Dragon tail.
His hands were covered in red scales and had sharp claws.
Chuckling to himself Igneous spoke.
"I still don't understand why the mortal races have those stupid incantations."
"Shut up Igni! It sounds awesome!"
He looked truly ferocious. It was intimidating, he gave off this intense aura unlike I have ever felt before.
Within a few seconds Acura shot smoke from his mouth and collapsed.
"Acura!!! Whats wrong!"
Igneous laughed loudly.
"Hahaha! Acura, I told you! You can't just go all out without training. But here you are showing off again."
Rolling around on the ground all of the scales disappeared.
"I just need to keep at it! I'll be the ultimate Dragoon!!"
D-Dragoon? Oh yeah! My brother told me about them allbeit nothing but legends and myths. their hasnt been dragoon's since the first wars 100's of years ago...
When a Dragon and a Human form close bonds the Dragon can give the human abilities like spirit. In that way they are alot like the seven gods...
"That's amazing!"
A devilish smile made its way across my face. I spoke without even thinking.
"Wanna fight sometime?"
Looking at me he began to sweat, alot.
"Uh... um... I don't know..."
Laughing loudly Igni threw him over his shoulder onto his back.
"Are you truly afraid of this man Boy? He barely has enough power to slay an elemental. I'd say you're even."
"R-Really?"
"Doesn't mean you'll best me Acura! Let's ride Titan!!"
Opening the bag of holding the Sky blade flew out from the void.
Boosting into the air I landed on the blade.
"Time to go Acura! Your Mother is worried sick."
Looking at Igni he sighed.
"Gotta go Buddy."
"Be safe Boy, I worry for you when you are not near me."
"Don't give me the speech, yeah I know. Connected on a spiritual level and all that jazz."
"Champion!"
Sliding down his tail Igneous launched Acura into the air.
"Take this good for nothing with you! He pisses me off!!"
Screaming all the way up I looked down at the sword.
"Okay if we take another with us?"
A dim light glowed out from the Sword. Normally that means... No.
"Please..."
A bright flash glowed out from the Sword. I think that means... Fine but just this once.
Channeling magic into the sword it grew in length.
As he flew close I opened my hand and summoned a gust of wind. Floating above my hand. He shouted.
"This... is... AWESOME!!"
"God your loud... I'm setting you down behind me on the Titan Slayer. Find your balance, or you'll fall like 30 feet."
"Ok! Super serious time."
Placing his feet down he found his balance fairly quickly.
"Nice one Acura, You have good balance."
"Thanks man, Hey what's your name?"
"Lanius Frey. A little late but it's great to meet a Dragoon."
"Nice to meet the gods Champion. Frey sounds lame, Lanius is too long.... I'm gonna call You Lanny."
"Do not call me that, I will drop you off this thing."
"Whatever you say... Lanny."
Leaning really far forward he almost fell off.
"Y-You did that on purpose!!"
"I have no clue what you mean."
Flying off towards Alveras I grew a devilish smirk.
Sadly I find a 15 Year old Lanius in him. But that kind of pisses me off.

P.O.V Ander Fernandez
Running through the forest I opened my hand.
"Boost!"
Winds bursted from my hands launching me into the air. As I began to fly up my head slammed into a tree branch.
Doing a full flip I slammed into the ground.
"Ah! Ow..."
Getting up I sighed...
"Next time don't try the boosted jump inside a forest... How did you do this Mister Frey?"
He tends to skip the parts where he learns the more basic skills...
Rubbing my forehead it began to glow green.
"Healing wasn't in the journal..."
"Was that Wind!?!?!"
Walking towards me was Travis... God dang it! I thought I could get away with practicing out here...
"Wait, Ander... I knew you would be a twin soul. But you can't use fire magic?"
"Travis... I need to let you know something I've been hiding from Mother and everyone else."
"Ander what is it? Your scaring me."
"Remember when we went inside that cave?"
----
So I told him... Everything so far. From reading the journal to gaining these powers. About the Tomb of Lanius Frey and talking to Toga the fire Sage.
"This is insane Ander, do you have the Journal with you?"
Tapping the ring the book appeared in my hands.
Giving it to him He opened it to the first page.
"I-Its blank."
Snatching it from him I looked at it, and all the words of the first journal entry sat there on the page.
"I can see it just find Travis!"
"Hm..."
Scratching his head he sighed.
"Its like the book only reveals the words to you. I've heard of grimoire's doing something similar. But never like that."
Jumping down from the branch I opened my palms. Air Shot from my hands slowing my fall.
"I'm getting the hands of this!"
"You know that's not cool..."
Travis followed after I Opening my hands I winked at him.
"Air cradle."
Inches before he would've planted his feet he completely stopped mid-air.
"N-Nice catch. Could you put me down?"
Releasing the magic he fell hard on his butt.
"Hey! That hurt Ander!!"
Looking at him with a serious gaze his smile disappeared.
"You can't tell anyone. They'll take it from me, I promised Mister Frey I would keep it out of the wrong hands.
"Right, of course Ander."
Walking towards the house I boosted up into the trees.
"I hope I can see the Titan Slayer soon."
Travis looked at me with a questioning gaze.
"Titan Slayer? what's a titan?"
