Chapter 11: Swords and Chairs
================================

In the Southern Continent of Heartilia, at the top of one of the towers of one of the small floating islands that's connected via large black-iron chain bridges to the main castle island, is a platform much like the same platform that can be seen at the top of Hagrid's Howling King's Pagoda.

Surrounding the platform are metal railings as the platform itself is an asphalted flat roof design made especially for taking off by the many travelers who wants to go somewhere.

By this point, Hagrid's party along with Olaf as their VIP guest successfully arrived in the headquarters of the Blue Card Legion: Apus Epirus.

The Crater Lake that this flying fortress is located at also goes by the local name of Ionia's Sea.

Ionia is the given alias for the Bakunawa that made this Crater Lake its home.

Thousands of years ago, the local NPCs on the area around the Crater Lake once saw a speck of light of the Moon fall in the waters of the lake.

Many years later, a creature was born of that speck of moonlight and began living in the Crater Lake as if it was its home.

In the course of time, the creature began to defend the Crater Lake against anything that tried to get near it, whether it was the locals or monsters that only wanted to fly by above its surface, it attacked and ate them in surprise.

Years pass, this cycle continued until Ionia eventually matured into the full grown size it has today, and never missed any chance to defend its territory.

Seeing this scene of the floating islands, Olaf was amazed. "This sure is a nice view." He looked down and saw the large shadow of the creature swimming on the blue waters that reflected the light of sol. "Is that a Bakunawa?"

"You know about it?" Hagrid asked with a smile.

Olaf nodded. "I've read about it. Apparently, it's a very rare and very dangerous monster in Terroa. The people who developed this game gathered all kinds of legends in the real world and this one's a local legend from Philippines. Its size and viciousness was also molded from that local legend."

In the game, the Bakunawa is a species of Serpent Dragon that is one of its kind because it doesn't have wings. Rather, it has a large pair of ears that had a shape that when agitated unfolds to a considerable size as wide as a real pair of dragon wings.

Many legends go why the Bakunawa is only the species of its kind and although it had many points that also classifies it as a Leviathan (a Sea Dragon), its main difference is that Leviathans are Elemental Dragons birthed with the gifts of the Element of Water, while the Bakunawa species does not have such ability and can only glide and swim in the water but not really live entirely in it.
