Yukihira's life; A normal Highschool student filled with the constant pressure of being alive. Distraught by the memories of her childhood and her parent's death caused a big impact on her life but what if she were to be given a second life in a wor...
The cold wind brushed against Yukihira's skin, her eyes closed as her heart was wash away with the adrenaline. The moment seemed to slow down as she leaned her head back, waiting for the time her head will slam against the frigid pavement of Eldoria's ground. The on-lookers was in a state of shock and panic, in spite of that, they couldn't let their guard down as the dragon has yet fallen. The dragon's abrasive roar echoed yet it was evident on how weak it has gotten, however, that still wasn't enough to finish it off.
Admist the crowd, a young lad stood with ruby orbs had an indifferent stare towards the event happening. His silky white hair that was braided draped on his left shoulder, he surveyed his surrounding before snatching a singular potion. The kind of potion which Yukihira stole from a stranger–the potion labelled as "strength".
He drank the potion before throwing the empty bottle aside, he looked at the falling Yukihira before leaping; reaching heights no ordinary person could with the help of the strength potion.
Yukihira softly landed on the young lad's arms, upon feeling his arms, Yukihira opened her eyes only to be met with the indifferent ruby orbs which the young lad held. In spite of that, Yukihira diverted her attention on the Dragon who was soaring into different directions. Atleast it didn't head on Eldoria, however, it won't take long for it to gain it's senses back.
Landing on the the frigid pavement of Eldoria, Yukihira immediately leaped out of the young lad's arms, causing him to jolt. Without wasting any time Yukihira reached out her hand to a random residence of Eldoria before speaking;
"Lend me your weapon."
The random stranger hesitated before giving her the his weaponry which was a battle axe, the appearance seemed heavy which caused Yukihira to feel uncertain about taking the weapon, nevertheless she took it with both hands.
The battle axe was indeed heavy, an indication that the potion she consumed a while ago has dwindled. However, that didn't stop Yukihira from wielding such weaponry.
The young lad sighed before he grabbed a sword from the sidelines, he approached Yukihira before placing his hand on her left shoulder.
"Let me help you terminating the dragon."
Those words escaped his soft lips as he stared into Yukihira's hazel eyes which reminded him of gold. The young lad's intention was simple; Kill the dragon and split the money they received.
Yukihira only nodded her head, not questioning the young lad's intention. The loud roar came back yet it was closer, there eyes followed the sound only to witness the dragon landing on a rooftop causing the building to shake as part of the roofing fell.
Arbitrarily, Yukihira rushed off towards the dragon and was also followed by the young lad. Her movements were agile yet it lacked speed, another sign that the potion was wearing off. The dragon swished it's tail; destroying the path which Yukihira will use to reach the Dragon.
An arm was wrapped around her waist as she was carried by the young lad and onto the dragon's back. Before Yukihira could dwell on such matter, the dragon prepared to take off again, regardless of that, the young lad had already dropped her on the dragon's back and hurriedly aiming for it's head. Yukihira spotted the sword she plunged on the dragon's back not too long ago.
The dragon flared it's wings as the young lad puncture it's head; the blood which smelled iron-like gushed out of the dragon's head, after every damaged the dragon received it still continued to roar and blast out flames.
Prior to more violent reactions, Yukihira immediately swung the battle axe she held into the dragon's neck causing blood to splatter into her polished clothes. With that injury, it was enough to make the dragon waver as it's body stumbled on the roof and onto the rigid pavement on Eldoria.

Meanwhile with Yukihira, she made sure to grip tightly on the axe as the young lad held onto the dragon's head. Finally, after a long fight they finally won. The residence of Eldoria cheered for them as they surrounded the dragon, the dust cleared up revealing Yukihira and the young lad with their clothes soaked with the dragon's blood.
(Yukihira's POV)
If it weren't for that stranger–young lad's help then it could've end badly, I glance at him and he didn't show any signs of exhaust from the fight, not like he endured it from the very start. I was about to inspect the dragon when I heard an eager voice behind me.
"Do you need any help on splitting the dragon into pieces?"
It was the man which battle axe I borrowed, before I could respond a calm voice which belonged to the stranger who helped me terminate the dragon interrupted me.
"Yeah. We need help. Thanks"
His voice reminded me of a calm early morning, he glance at me before turning around and approaching the dragon. The stranger only nodded his head before rushing to his friends to inform them about the task. Looking at the stranger, he was already inspecting the dragon which we both killed. I approached him before speaking calmly:
"Why did you help me? What made you do such thing?"
I asked curiously as I peered at him with. The stranger gave me a side eye before narrowing his eyes.
"Simple, we can split the rewards."
The stranger faced me while I just stood next to him, he was truly straight forward. However, I won't just let him take half of the rewards.
"Ah..an honest preposition indeed. However, I believe that a quarter is enough."
I stated firmly before glance at the dragon's eye socket, realizing how it's eye balls were squashed since I penetrated my fingers into it. The stranger sighed, seemingly understanding my stance.
"Fair enough."
He retorted, he wasn't greedy than I thought he would be, Perhaps we could find common ground after all.
