Chapter 9

That blinding light vanished as fast as it came, it had caused Clarissa to close her eyes so there was a couple second delay before she saw her surroundings.

First impression of the drakna realm;

Oh.

My

F word

God

This place was so......

Aristocrat-like, it looked to be taken straight out of those historical manhwa's. There were castles all over the place with a more modern touch. It was beautiful and was booming with elemental magic.

But...

But, it was kind of sad.

Everything also looked like it was half dead, the elemental magic in the air felt sort of drained in some sense. Clarissa was lost in thought but got pulled out of it when she felt elise and ember tremble.

"It's okay" she told them, they calmed down after she hugged both of them.

Blinking Isa tried to look for any dragons, for some reason none were around-

An intense wind hit all three of them and Clarissa found herself taking that back because a dark dragon that wasn't Elijah came out of nowhere landing on the ground, only transforming into a human when they were firmly on the ground.

It was a girl. A girl that looked a lot like Elijah and very pissed.

"What took you so long!?" The girl hissed out, crossing her arms and turning away from Elijah, "we've waited 2 freaking years for you! Everyone is huddled around the shrine now!"

Before Elijah got the chance to retort Clarissa answered him instead, "I'm sorry miss, it took 2 years to convince my father to let me come here, I am sorry for the wait and would love it if you taught me how to...well save you?"

The female dark dragon stared at Clarissa like she hadn't expected her to speak, right as Isa worried that she had offended her the dragon spoke.

"Oh on the original dragon, mom is going to love your fiancee" what?

Taking advantage of the silence Elijah finally found his chance to speak, "sister, these two hatchlings are minutes away from being 9 years old, they need to undergo the ritual-"

"THEN HURRY UP AND GET OVER TO THE SHRINE ALREADY" she screamed, then turned back to a dragon and was gone in an instant.

"..."

"Is that your sister?"

"Yeah"

"I had thought that you were an only child so this is surprising"

"I have older 24 sisters and no brothers" mind blown Clarissa didn't say anything back.
—-------------------------------------------
The shrine was as shrine-like as Clarissa imagined it to be. It was tall and pale white, almost shaped like a mirror. Something was a bit off about it though.

Isa had no time to think about that because within seconds of entering everyone went into panic mode.

"You're finally here" remarked a rather strict voice, Isa looked up at the voice.

This very tall- woman who was booming with authority looked to be the opposite of Elijah, leading Isa to think she was probably a light dragon.

If they're booming with authority then they're probably the leader-! Oh crap she's being disrespectful to a dragon!

Bowing, Clarissa introduced herself. "Apologies for the wait, I'm Clarissa liones, the first princess of liones, it's a pleasure to meet you acquaintance"
