A massive earthquake shook the city, and people started panicking.

"What's going on?!"

Thalia approached the gate and began chanting. A barrier appeared over the city.

"Thalia, what's happening."

Me and Royce ran over.

She looked over at us.

"Asura has begun his duel."

"What do you mean?"

A guard yelled.

"He and the dragon went to a valley many miles from here, how is their attack shaking the city?"

"Arcane fighting the strongest fighter alive. A dragon that is stronger than any other dragon, versus an unmatched human. There is no way that it wouldn't cause waves around the world."

"But both are mythic level!"

"Yes, and their clash is that of a godly entity. My sister is a high mythic and he is high rank as well."

"Incredible."

"Just be thankful that they are not closer."

We struck at each other, and I blasted my arcane.

The valley was already gone, and our power echoed. We battled with our full power.

My aspect was on full display. My scales were arcane.

His power was great too. We struck each other and power cracked upon the world.

"You're tough, Dragon."

"As are you, Asura."

I slashed his stomach and he cut my wing in return.

"Oblivion"

We used the same spell and clashed our powers.

A shockwave resulted and destroyed a part of the mountain.

"Aspect of Dragonkind. Arcane Drake."

"Holy Sword Callisto. Deify!"

We were stronger as we struck with our strongest attacks.

I felt my power cracking and it shattered.

His power shattered at the same time mine did. We both reached our limits and fell.

We crashed right back into the valley that we fought in.

"Well, Dragon. I'll admit it, you are strong."

"As are you, human. I did not know humans could reach that level."

"Don't be fooled by our shorter lives, we have more potential than most."

"Hah. Well, you are strong."

"So, Dragon. What's your name?"

"Hood, that is my less known one."

"Ha, smart."

"I'll go back to my home."

"Yeah, I'll just lay here for a while longer."

As I flew off, I heard him.

"That dragon is my goal."

That stayed in my mind the whole time.

I managed to sneak through the gate, and I entered the guild and feigned being awake.

"Pardon me, but could I please get some wine and meat?"
