Tales of the Ruin Shepard.

Chapter 23: the end of Lunarre.

After a few days of Training and resting, Rias and everyone else decided to get back onto the road, Knowing that Azazel, Symmone and Lunarre were still out there, waiting to make their move.

"So where should we go?" Rias wondered confused

"We can go to the Plitzerback wetland." Sorey suggested

"I've heard of that place. Rolance managed to rebuild the town there." Rossweisse remembered

"Well count me out." Koneko said

"Why?" Sorey wondered

"I. Hate. water." Koneko answered

"It's just a little water. What harm can come from it?" Sorey wondered

"I'm part Cat okay? That's why i hate water." Koneko answered defensively

"That explains a lot." Sorey realized

"If you don't want to come, that's your choice. No one is forcing you." Rias told Koneko.

"Fine." Koneko agreed.

"I'll stay here with Nico. She'll get lonely without me." Edna said

"Alright." Rias agreed

"Are you sure that's a good idea? We might Edna's help at some point." Sorey asked concerned

"I don't think we have worry about not having the right element. I mean, Rias does have that claw of hers." Mikleo mentioned

"He's right. As much as i hate my claw, i keep forgetting how useful it was back in Xinall." Rias agreed

"Alright but the moment we start struggling, i'm going back here to get Edna." Sorey said

Meanwhile...

"Symonne. Where is lunarre?" Azazel asked

"He was throwing a fit like child and decided to go after the Shepard after most recent defeat." Symonne answered

"Fine by me. If he gets killed, its his loss." Azazel said coldly

Meanwhile, where rias and the other are, They kept heading to the plitzerback wetlands.  When the reached the wetlands and started heading to the rebuilt Village. While heading to the village, rias stumbled across something that surprised her

"Whoa! This is one huge foot print!" Rias admitted while looking at the footprint on the ground

"Seems like a dragon's footprint and a big one at that." Ddraig assumed

"Must be. Dragons are pretty much the biggest things in our world, i mean remember tannin? He was big but he was probably nothing to the dragon that made this!" Rias reminded

"Maybe." Ddraig admitted

"Seeing this footprint is a pretty good reminder." Rossweisse admitted

"How so Ross?" Sorey wondered

"Well We have a dragon side inside us. All of us have one. Hat dragon side grows when ever we generate malevolence. As long as we keep things in check, we don't have to worry about that dragon being unleashed." Rossweisse explained

"Zaveid said something similar to that and you're right." Mikleo pointed out

"Agreed. Malevolence is basically food for your dragon side. The more you feed it the bigger it gets. As long as we don't feed that dragon we're practically safe." Sorey added

"Makes sense." Rias admitted

Soon enough, they reached the town that they were heading too.

"Hey you were right Ross, they did rebuild this place." Sorey noticed
