The Dragon and the Black Sun.

" The Second priest and the untold story"

I was really exhausted after all these hours. Mark, Emilia and Jason were the same, we haven't taken a break since we came across the dragon, Deus. We decided it would be best to stop by the river and rest. I was ready to take a nap when I heard someone shouting. I took my sword and headed towards the woods with Mark and the rest behind me, to be exact we went towards the spot where that shout came from. When we reached there, a cloaked old man was standing in front of us and 10 beasts were dead behind him in a line. I had  feeling that this man was the second priest I was looking for. I approached him slowly, I have to admit I was a bit scared upon doing so, after all I wasn't even sure about his identity.

- Excuse me...

- Hm? Ah! You must be Max, the young prince who released that old curse.

- Yes I am the one, then you should also know the reason I am here.

- Yes I do. And I will gladly say that I want to come and help you. He responed in a calm tone, he seemed rather friendly, could it be that he was hoping for the curse to be released?

- I am glad to hear it. I said and I smiled, kinda. I wasn't sure why this got so easy all of a sudden.

- Max!!! Marks voice was serious and that was probably why I turned my attention to him.

- What? When I turned I saw him holding Emilia. She was unconcious in his arms and she seemed to be in a lot of pain. I went straight to them and took her from him. What the hell was going on?

- I think she has a fever. She is weak and she is trembling. Jason replied after a guick glance at her flushed face.

- Come with me. The man said and I didn't really have the time to wonder if it was a trap or not. Emilia's well being was the only thing I had in mind. We followed him after we packed our stuff and after a couple of minutes we saw a large wooden house. It was a very nice place, it held a feeling of comfort and warmth. When we went inside he showed us the only guest room he had and told me to leave Emilia on the bed. I did leave her on the bed but I didn't leave her side until he came closer and took a good look at her. He took her temperature and nodded in understandment. I wanted to know what was going on but I was queit until he spoke.

- So it has began...

- What? What is it? Jason asked with concern taking his gaze from the man to Emilia.

- The gift reception.  All priests and priestesses can use all for element for a while but eventually they must pass from some sort of transformation and see which element is fitting them best, it happens when an element is ready to be shared at large with the world once again. Although there is only one element left to be given I believe. Oh well, I shouldn't bet. Your friend is passing through the gift reception right now. 

- When will it end? Mark asked him in a low tone.

- In two days. We have to wait until then and see if she will be in good health.

- Then that's what we are going to do. I said, Mark and Jason agreed with me and so we decided to look after Emilia until this whole transformation process was over.

- Very well then. Follow me. I must have at least on more room for you to use. He said calmly as he made his way out of the room with us tailing him. After we decided who will sleep on the bed we left our staff and relaxed. Once the man decided to leave however I stood up and approached him.

- Wait! Are you one of the twelve priests? I asked. I knew the answer but I wanted to make sure. 

- Yes I am. My name is Goroh. My element is water. I can control anything that contains water. That also means blood too. He said and when we heard these last words we froze in fear. He could kill us right now if he wanted.
