Myth War

Chapter 2: Terms!

　

Aero sighed as she was shoved into the courthall. "Easy." Aero growled her pupils lit up just a bit. "Does that happen often?" Echo asked uneasily. Aero looked at her in surprise. "What Argon's eyes don't do that?" Aero scoffed. Echo shrugged, "Only once or twice." Aero rolled her eyes. "Yeah well he can control his anger." Aero grumbled. A fairy came out. The girl had light blue hair that fades into a dark purple at the ends in pig tails, black short skirt, dark purple tank top, black combat boots with light blue trimming that go just below the knee, dark blue and purple dragon earrings, black cloak, and silver snake arm bands that go from the wrist to the elbow. When the girl fairy saw Kirito she burst out into a grin. "KIRITO!" She ran and hugged him. Kirito caught her in her arms and spun her around. Aero and Echo took a step back in surprise. Aero turned to Echo for help, but Echo just shrugged. It really got awkward when they kissed each other. "Aw! Gross!" Aero turned her head in disgust as she gagged. They pulled apart and grinned at each other. "Alright, alright that's enough of that." Aero grumbled as she was gagging. "You know each other?" Echo asked quietly. "No. They are just kissing each other because they thought it would be fun." Aero sarcastically replied while clearing her throat. Echo elbowed Aero. Aero rubbed her arm with a huff. Aero was suddenly knocked off her feet. The air was knocked out of her lungs as her back hit the ground. A spear was pointed at her throat. "Daxton!" Arica, the girl fairy, shouted in surprise. Aero felt the edge of the blade against her skin. She brought her pupils up to meet red. "I'd appreciate it if I didn't have a spear at my throat." Aero said feeling a little subconcious about the weapon at her throat. "Give me one good reason not to cut your throat now." Daxton had black hair, red eyes, a red jacket, white shirt, brown pants, and black boots. "We come in peace. We ask to strike a truce with your people." Aero calmly replied. Daxton wavered at that, and when he did Aero smacked the blade away from her neck and jumped to her feet. Wings spread from her back and she glared. "Don't ever point that thing at me again." She growled and retracted her wings. She let out a sigh as Echo put a hand on her shoulder. "Sorry...I have a bad habit of getting angry easily." She sighed popping her neck. Daxton eyed her suspiciously. "Who are you?" Daxton asked with a bit of curiousity. "Aero Pyro...here to do your brother's dirty work?" It was the fairy king and queen. The fairy king had blond hair, hazel eyes, and green robes. The queen had red hair, purple eyes, and blue robes. "Don't speak of my brother like that." Aero spat. "You are in my custody! Don't act as you please!" The fairy king slammed his staff on the ground. Aero didn't waver under his stare. "I have come on the behalf of my people to strike a truce with you." Aero spoke loudly. The fairy king raised an eyebrow. "Why so sudden?" The king asked suspiciously. "Because my grandfather has found news that the gargoyles plan to attack the dragons and the fairies. My brother is keeping the other dragons back and in line, while he sent me here." Aeron announced. "What rank are you?" The queen asked suddenly. "I am a General in the Dragon Army." Aero answered with ease. "At such a young age?" The king questioned. Aero rolled her shoulders. "Jet has trained me for years. It's only expected." Aero explained without hesitation causing the King to lean back in his throne. "Prove it. Daxton, attack." The king ordered. Daxton lunged at her, but Aero had drew her sword and blocked the spear. She angled it making the spear slide off of her huge sword. She stabbed it firmly in the ground and used that to lift herself in the air and kick Daxton in the chest. She yanked it out and swung just barely missing him. Daxton fell to the ground and Aero pointed her weapon at his throat. Daxton kicked her in the shin catching her off balance. She jumped back gaining some distance. Daxton took the spear and threw it with prestige aim, but Aero brought out her tail and smacked the weapon away as it bounced off her yellow scales. "That's good." The king interrupted. Aero's tail vanished and she sheathed her sword. "Why such a big weapon?" The queen asked. Aero breathed out, "It's not that I want a big weapon, a dragon's weapon is created depending on their skill or personality. My personality and skills are brutal, and so my weapon is large in comparison." She explained looking back at her sword hilt. "Hm..." The king seemed deep in thought. "Now I've amused you...tell me your answer." Aero demanded. The king scoffed, "Very well then...do you swear that you are not here to betray us?' The king looked her in the eye. Aero straightened. "You have my word." Aero nodded to the king. "The best treaty is through marriage." The king brought up. Aero's eyes sharpened. "You would like such a treaty?" Aero asked uneasily. Echo put a hand on her shoulder reminding her of her mission. "If those are your terms than we shall abide by them. Who do you propose should marry?" Aero asked smoothly. "Our nephew, Daxton." Aero turned and looked at the said fairy. "Very well then. We shall find an elligible female dragon to take his hand in marriage." Aero agreed. "Very well. Take your normal body guard Daxton, and bring back your chosen wife." Daxton nodded. The group turned to leave when the king called out, "Aero Pyro." Aero turned her head slightly to show she was listening. "We do hope you could be a choice." Aero stiffened at that. She nodded slightly and then followed the others.

The group knocked on a wooden house door. "Whose your body guard?" Aero scoffed. "A human. He's a mercenary, but he is great for company." Daxton answered with a shrug. "Human?" Kirito asked. "Yes. Circo is an amazing fighter." Arica nodded. Kirito smiled at her lovingly. "Okay we need to establish one rule with you two. Do try to keep your affection on the low. You do have company." Aero grumbled with a bit of uneasiness. The door opened and the boy had short brown hair, with blue eyes, and black and blue ninja and samurai clothes. "Aw Dax what can I do for you?" Circo asked leaning on the door frame. "We have struck a truce between the dragons." Daxton explained. Circo's eyes widened and he stood up straight. "Are you serious?" Circo asked. Daxton turned to Aero. "Yeah, yeah. Get your rear end into gear we have to find a spouse for this guy." Aero jabbed a thumb in Daxton's direction. "Who are you?" Circo asked. "Aero Pyro. General for the Dragon Army." Aero introduced. "That's Kirito our ambassador, and Echo our human medic." Aero pointed to Echo last. "Did you have to mention human?" Echo asked quietly. "What does it matter?" Aero asked shrugging. "So you're a human too?" Circo asked Echo. Echo nodded. "Raised by a dragon though..." Echo said looking at the ground. "Same here. Well I wasn't raised by a dragon, but a fairy. Must be fate." Circo winked at Echo. Echo blushed. "Oh my goodness!" Aero groaned she turned and turned into a dragon. Kirito looked at her. "She wants to get going before Circo starts winking at Echo again." Kirito translated. Daxton smirked at Aero. Aero sent him a look and Daxton held up his hands in surrender. Echo climbed on Aero and Circo climbed on Kirito. The group soared into the sky. Circo laid back on Kirito. "Now this is the way to travel." Circo sighed with pleasure. "Ha ha." Aero thought. Circo shrugged, "Well it is." Circo told Aero. "Well it is." Aero mocked. "You should be pretty proud." Aero huffed and electricity came out of her mouth. The group all except Kirito and Echo jumped. "You spit electricity?" Circo asked. "Not spit, breathes." Echo corrected. "Kirito breathes blue flames." Aero explained. Daxton and Arica were lost. "I feel like I am only getting parts of this conversation." Daxton interrupted. "That's because you are." Aero smirked. "Aero is making fun of you." Echo explained. Daxton glared in frustration. Aero rolled her eyes. "She says she wants you to sit on her back." Echo translated again. Daxton raised an eyebrow, but did as told. "That better for you, Peter Pan?" She scoffed. Daxton's eyes widened. "You communicate telepathically?" Daxton asked surprised. "Ding, Ding, Ding!" Aero laughed. Daxton was amazed to say the least. "You have to be in contact with a dragon to hear their thoughts or communicate with them." Echo explained. Circo smiled at Echo. Maybe this trip wouldn't be so bad after all.
