Amoya went flying into the wall on the other side of the room with a huff, and Johnoya didn't move an inch from the spot where she met the mage in the middle. Rage is still evident on her face.
"You think that was my fault. I was but a child ! What would have me do . The moment I landed here, I was treated with hostility. Your men killed the one person who helped me , you tried to take advantage of me for power . Force me to mate. Who are you to be enraged." Johnoya shouted the growls rolling off of every word she spoke .
Amoya lifted herself off the wall, with no scratches in sight .
"But we are your people , I thought you of the war. I showed you what happened to us. How could you not be enraged." The mage stated head held down and breathing hard.

"All you taught me was my father. The king didn't want his son to marry someone he didn't like, so he killed her and started a war that slaughtered his people and his family. Don't expect me to fight for a selfish bastard like that." Johnoya replied
"That is not what happened." The mage stated now looking at the girl that now had more dragon features all over.
Her hands and feet had more scales than usual. She grew even taller, and her golden eyes were even more evident.
"I refuse to fight for a nation of war mongers . After you defeat Dalwin, will you be satisfied? Or will you also turn on the nations that stood by and watched . Will you travel across the sea and fight them too . What our forefathers did are not our own . Wake up! " Johnoya  shouted venom on her tongue.

"Don't you dare talk to me that way you have no idea how hard it is to build our future from the ground up you have no idea what it is like having to listen to the anger of our peoples children you-" Amoya was interrupted.

"Enough! Why must we fight a battle that has nothing to do with us." The dragon shouted

"You wouldn't understand love. I have to." Amoya replied sadnesses clearly written in her tone and on her face.
With that, the fight resumed, and this time, Amoya skin glowed, and her body became more of a serpent than a dragon. Johnoya was stunned for but a moment, and that was all the mage needed. The light in her palm became a blade, and she went for the chest.
The little dragon was fast enough to barely block the attack. The point simply crazed the skin, and a single blood trail wend down the light blade.

"We do not have to do this." Johnoya pleaded, staring into the mages' eyes.

"It is already too late." Amoya replied in a whisper.
What surprised the mage was the change of Johnoyas' eyes. The golden eyes took on a green hue .

Johnoya held on the hand that held the blade and crushed it . The mage screamed out , but it was no matter for the dragon , with both voices mixed and hand now around the mages' throat.

"For the act of murder and massacre of innocent kins friends and foe alike I, son of Althorn father of dragons Elijah ,sentence you to death."
The moment Amoya heard death, she panicked, and tears came to her eyes as the dragon raised their hand claws glazed with heat sharp and ready .

The room was filled with whispers, and like smoke, she was gone. Rage filled the dragon, which was all that was needed, the transformation of the prince for the kingdom of scales . The first few bones that broke sent shock waves through the entire battlefield and shocked the earth. Everyone stopped. Kieran, who held a man by the neck, eyes black and hollow, looked up to the tallest building within the vast city, having broken through the defenses of the enemy.
Her body was shocked with pain, and she fell to the ground. The people in the area didn't understand what was going on, and the enemy and Allies backed away in fear.
Though she too screamed , there was a smile on her face , eyes now normal filled with glee and pleasure.
Not long after the ground shock again and Kieran had a blinding light emerge from within her, she levitated off the ground high within the air.
Voice filled with melody and soft .
"Be well, for our savior has arrived. Son of the Alfather of Dragons with the prince of the dragon kingdom. Elijah has emerged. " The voice that did not at all sound like the mage of the kingdom of Dalwin.

Once the light cleared from her now, grime and blood from the battle remained on her , adorned in robes of gold and white levitated into the atmosphere. An Elf that looked exactly like their mage.
If that was not surprise enough for the people, the rumbling that has been constant showed results because not long after the palace crumbled and a roar the kingdom of scales prayed to hear filled the land .
Elijah was emerging from the earth growing right before their eyes , the larger the dragon got, the scarier the atmosphere became. It just kept growing, now towering over almost the entirety of the city, another roar that shocked the very earth.
The dragon kins cheered and screamed for the dragon with scales of bronze and eyes of gold.
Once the emerging ended, the voice of Kieran rained over everyone.

"I am mage Kieran of the kingdom of Dalwin who is mate to your king Elijah son of the Alfather of dragons , we wish to end this fight and join our kingdom. I voted to kill you all for the villagers you slaughtered. My mate, however, sees the good in you and decided together we can rebuild. I know in the past, the Great War took the lives of our families , but we can change how our future will be . Let us stop this here before it becomes another war that will take even more lives. Drop your weapons and help us heal what both our nations have broken."

Borus shouted, "Never! You filthy low life's took my peoples lives, family, traditions and threw us to the waste lands to die and your preaching to us about peace. Peace for who ! I would rather die than give in to your pathetic claims." He finished and stared at the first in command who had a gush over his eye that was now swollen.

That statement alone built back up the fire within the enemy, and the fight started again. Kieran's face showed no expression, and the dragon did not move . All that was seen was the heat rising from the belly of the beast and along its neck.
Elijah inhaled, and with one powerful breath , both sides lost . The entire south side of the wall was wiped out. The forest area the wall the houses in the area the soldiers that were fighting. Everything was gone . The king stood at his tent, eyes wide along with the men at his side. Kia and sul made it out in time to not be crushed they stood on ruble staring at what their friend just did mouth agape. Everyone stopped fighting. The dragon kin all wept. Borus stared at the dragon with his only eye left and the one unbroken arm with tears running down his face. With the voice enhancement still on his voice, he screamed.

"What have you done! You traitor , what have you done! , Amoya !"
On his knees and wailing, the commander walked up to him . With one swipe of his sword, Boris's head rolled.
The commander sighed and made his way back to the side of his king.
While they wept, the giant wings of the dragon opened, and with one swift motion, the dragon was gone.

Amoya stood on an altar, watching the dragon approach.

"That's right, come to me."
