« Qi is like water; it can take any form, it can be flexible and absorb everything, it can destroy everything. Qi is the treasure of the Dark Ones, be like Qi. »

Brouss Qi, creator of Drakon martial arts

Seis was breathing slowly. His body was larger, stronger, and more agile. The young man, who no longer looked twelve at all, was completely absorbed by his transformation. The two ancient guardians seemed lost in their thoughts. Seis approached, and Arémétria exclaimed,

- "The blood must have fused with the mana in his body, creating a reaction."

- "I suppose his blood already had similarities with that of the Drakons, and that my blood and the potion he has been taking for years reacted together. But he should have exploded," Bubu said, worried.

- "Isn't this a good thing?" Seis interrupted. "I feel stronger than ever, and my memory hasn't disappeared."

- "Don't celebrate too quickly," Arémétria warned him. "We don't know if this transformation is good for you or if it's dangerous."

- "I feel so good, I doubt I'm in any danger," Seis replied.

- "I think we need to inform the tribe," Bubu added.

- "I knew you were going to say that. I'll contact him..." Arémétria responded.

The guardian then stood up and, with a leap, propelled herself into the air, more than a hundred meters away from them. In an instant, she had disappeared from Seis's field of vision. He turned to Bubu and asked,

- "Where is she going?"

- "Not very far. I think she prefers to isolate herself to concentrate," Bubu replied.

- "Is it related to the person she is going to contact?" Seis inquired.

- "Yes, Arémétria and her brother have a complicated relationship," Bubu explained.

- "Why?" Seis asked.

- "I'd rather not talk about it. It's up to her to reveal her own secrets," Bubu said.

- "Even if I tell you that you're the cutest?" Seis teased.

- "This is not a joking matter," Bubu said, trying to use a stern tone but couldn't help showing her satisfaction.

- "I understand, you're right. She'll tell me if she wants to," Seis conceded.

- "Yes, I think you'll get an answer to your curiosity very soon," Bubu said.

- "Why?" Seis asked.

- "Because I think we'll have to meet her brother very soon," Bubu replied.

Seis didn't get the chance to ask more questions. The beautiful Drakon reappeared in front of him in an instant. It felt like she had appeared out of nowhere. She had a stern expression and furrowed brows. Her beauty was so supernatural that even with a stern look, she appeared magnificent. She declared,

- "We are leaving tomorrow."

- "Very well," Bubu replied.

Seis was confused, and he couldn't help but ask,

- "Where are you going tomorrow?"

- "We are going to visit the Tenth Tribe," Arémétria said.
