I gratefully bolted off the train as it finally stopped at the station. I hated trains but Petronilla somehow keeps on getting me on them even though she hates them just as much as I do. I collapsed onto a bench to catch my breath as I waited for my traveling buddies to catch up.

My name was Sungyevo Lightchaser and I'm a mage. I've been traveling for years ever since Mother vanished mysteriously one day when I was a little girl, nearly had a heart attack I did. On my travels I found my partner Diamanta, my beautiful exceed.

Six years ago I found Diamanta during the time when I had to travel through a dense forest because I missed the train. We bonded as soon as we set eyes on each other when I more or less tripped on her and the rest was history.

"Sungyevo!" I looked up as my name was called and saw Petronilla running towards me out of the crowds of people with two exceeds flying next to her, Diamanta being the one that called out to me. I raised my hand and waved at her as she gave me an annoyed look.

Petronilla Arderne had long midnight black hair that reaches her waist and chocolate brown eyes. We had the same body structure and were the same height but she was paler than me, almost like she never went out in the sun but I knew it was probably just because of her magic. She was wearing a pure black sleeveless shirt and dark blue jeans along with black combat boots. However that was all covered by her black cloak that had white linings on it. It covered her form completely, especially with her hood up. People sent her odd looks as she pushed past them as she made her way over to me.

Petronilla and I met a year after I found Diamanta and even though we had our arguements from time to time we were the best of friends. We had similar childhoods so our bond grew stronger to the point where we considered each other as sisters in all but blood.

"You could at least wait for us next time!" Diamanta huffed as her angel like wings disappeared as she sat in my lap. "And where's your cloak?!" Diamanta had such soft looking white fur and black paws. The tip of her tail was also black. She briskly brushed invisible lint off her light yellow dress. Her dress was plain yet casual seeing as she made it herself. Her sky blue eyes that had gold flecks in them gazed at me with annoyance clear in them.

"Petronilla has it." The exceed that was still flying next to Petronilla said as said girl nodded. Petronilla reached a hand out of her cloak with my own cloak held secure in her hand. Diamanta moved from my lap to stand next to me on the bench so I could stand up. "Thanks Petronilla." I smiled as I took my cloak from my friend as I stood up and quickly tied the cloak on which now covered my light blue shirt that had images of the clouds on the front, jeans, and my light blue smooth boots that reached to my knees. My cloak was identical to Petronilla's but instead of black with white linings my cloak was white with black linings.

"Leopold, you have the map right?" I asked as I pulled my hood over my light blonde hair. Leopold, Petronilla's exceed, nodded. Leopold had dark grey fur and he had white stripes on his tail. White circled around his onyx eyes giving him a unique look. He had a simple black vest on that had white linings along with a simple white backpack where he stores maps and food that we'll need, along with our jewels.

His wings disappeared as he landed on the bench next to Diamanta and pulled his backpack off so he can rummage through it for the map of the town we're currently in. My honey colored eyes sparkled in the shadows of my hood as Leopold held out one of the many maps he had towards me. "Thank you my dear." I reached out to grab the map and unfolded it.

Since the town we were currently in wasn't that big and well known the map was fairly small so Petronilla, Leopold, and Diamanta had to crowd around me to look over the map also. "Look, there's an inn nearby so we should book a room for tonight." I pointed to a location that was near the train station. Out of the corner of my eyes I could see Petronilla silently nodding, being the quiet person she is.

"After we book a room we'll go down to the market area and just look around." Diamanta landed on top of my head and quickly continued when I opened my mouth to protest. "You and Petronilla have been training non stop for the past few weeks, you need a break." Diamanta was kind of speaking the truth. Petronilla and I traveled to different towns to gather more knowledge on our magic in order to become stronger so we'll be able to protect those who need protecting.

"I agree with Diamanta, just one day won't kill you guys." Leopold nodded his head towards Diamanta as he settled down on top of Petronilla's covered head too. I looked over at Petronilla awaiting her answer. She seemed to think it over before finally noddin her head, agreeing to Diamanta's plan for today. "Fine, I guess a break won't be too bad." I admitted defeat as I folded the map and handed it over to Leopold so he could put it back into the backpack.

"But you'll have to keep your cloaks on!" Diamanta reminded me as we stepped out of the train station onto the sort of busy street. "I know, though I hate wearing it." I sighed as we stayed at the edge of the street, people giving us looks as they passed us.

"Deal with it." Diamanta sniffed as we passed a bakery, the scent of freshly baked goods coming out of the open door. Diamanta was always a sucker for cookies so I made a mental note to myself to visit the bakery before turning in for tonight.

Petronilla and I walked in silence as we made our way over to where the inn will be as Diamanta and Leopold just sat on our heads, being silent too. This town seemed peaceful, it was refreshing to be in a quiet town like this. Petronilla also seemed like she was enjoying the quiet, though her hood kind of prevented me from fully seeing her face to see if I could determine her expression.

"Look, there's the inn." Leopold pointed a paw at a tall building that looked in decent condition. "Looks cozy." I smiled slightly as I opened the front door hearing a bell jingle announcing our arrival. There was a middle aged woman behind the counter who smiled warmly at us as the door closed behind Petronilla.

"Welcome, how many nights would you like to spend and I would assume you'll share a room?" I walked up to the counter because I always handled booking our rooms in the past. "One room for one night, Leopold?" Leopold dug around in his backpack and pulled out a small bag full of some of our jewels. "Catch." Leopold gently threw the bag of jewels towards me. "Leopold!" I rolled my eyes at the exceed as I reached up with one hand and caught the bag of jewels.

I opened the bag and quickly counted out enough jewels for one night and handed it over to the woman at the counter. "Thank you and please enjoy your stay." She bowed as she put the jewels I gave her under the counter and turned around pulling a key off one of the hooks. "Your room is B4." I took the key thanking her as Diamanta jumped off my head snatching the key out of my hand as she landed on the counter.

"Leopold and I will go to the room and rest while you and Petronilla go to the market street, okay?" Diamanta looked over the key, nodding to herself. "Alright, come find us if you need help or something." I patted her head before turning around seeing Leopold fly towards Diamanta. "Behave." I waved goodbye to our exceeds before walking outside with Petronilla right behind me.

The street got a bit busier during the time we were in the inn. I looked up at the cloudless sky and saw the sun was a bit past the middle. "It's a bit pass noon." I adjusted my hood since it shifted back a bit as I looked to my left at Petronilla who nodded silently at me. Sometimes it was annoying that Petronilla was so quiet but it was just how she was.

We made our way to where all the shops were and quietly browsed as we slowly walked down the street. "Petronilla, look at that crowd." There was a crowd forming at the end of the street full of screaming teenage girls. "Should we check it out?" I asked as even more girls ran past us towards the swarming crowd. "We shall." Petronilla quietly said in a voice as smooth as silk as she started to make her way towards the crowd, reaching up with a hand to tug down on her hood to make sure the shadows covered her face. I copied her actions by pulling down the front of my hood and quickly catching up to her.

We both retreated our hands to the inside of our cloaks as we drew nearer to the crowd.

"They're so dreamy!" One of the girls in the back shrieked with joy.

"And so powerful!" Another one screamed somewhere in the crowd.

"The Twin Dragon Slayers of Sabertooth, take me!" I shook my head as I heard one of the girls scream that. "The Twin Dragon Slayers? I've heard about them before, so they're in the middle of those screaming fan girls?" I whispered to Petronilla. "Shall we continue on our way?" Petronilla took a step back as even more love struck girls joined the growing crowd.

"Sure, I'm sure there's a bookstore nearby." I turned around along with Petronilla and started walking down the street away from the crowd. We only got a few steps away when a voice stopped us in our tracks. "Hey, stop right there." I turned around and saw a gap in the crowd. Two boys, or should I say young men, were stepping forward out of the crowd. The one in the front was the one that spoke up. He was rather handsome and had spiky blonde hair and blue eyes. The young, handsome, man behind him had black hair that covered his right eye, though his visible eye was red.

"You know, wearing cloaks like that sends the wrong message." The blonde man smirked as the girls fawned over him. The wind was blowing in our direction so we were able to catch their scent. My eyes widened in surprise as they smelled strangely like dragons. "Sungyevo, they're the Twin Dragon Slayers." Petronilla whispered to me, quiet enough so only I was able to hear her. "I know." I whispered back before taking a step forward. "The Twin Dragon Slayers of Sabertooth, are you as powerful as the rumors said you were?" I asked as Petronilla silently looked them over.

"Of course, Sabertooth is the strongest guild." The blonde bragged. The black haired man behind him was quiet, reminding me of Petronilla. Two exceeds were behind them, strangely one of them was wearing a frog costume.

"Than I'm sure you won't mind giving us a demonstration of your strength." I reached up and pulled my hood down letting my light blonde, almost white, locks fall as my honey colored eyes reflected the sunlight. "Sungyevo." Petronilla hissed quietly at me.

"I won't fight a girl." The blonde smirked arrogantly as he dismissed me. "Oh, afraid are we?" I gave him a smirk in return. "Sungyevo!" Petronilla hissed a bit louder. "Just one fight to see who's more powerful, which of course isn't you." I ignored her as I continued on. That seemed to tick him off.

"Fine, don't be surprised when you go down though." The blonde said as he got into a battle stance. "Petronilla, you get the silent one." I untied my cloak and let it drop to the ground. "Mr. Arrogant here is mine." Petronilla sighed before untying her cloak and letting it drop to the ground too. "Don't waste any time, and no magic." I stared in shock at Petronilla. "B-But Petronilla-" She cut me off. "You're making me fight, so no magic."

I groaned in frustration before facing the blonde again. "Don't worry sweetheart, I don't need my magic to defeat you." Blonde winked at me. "Yeah, Sting will barely break a sweat mopping the floor with you." One of the exceeds cheered. "Fro thinks so too!" The one in the frog costume raised one of his paws into the air.

"Alright, whenever you're ready blondie." I got into a similar battle position like the blonde, Sting's, position. Petronilla just placed a hand on her hip as she set her gaze onto the other Dragon Slayer. Hopefully we can finish this fast since Petronilla said not to waste any time playing around.

Sting surprisingly sprung forward faster than I expected and aimed a punch at my face. Instinctively I held up my hand to catch his fist. Typical first move and predictable.

Petronilla darted forward to meet the other one head on so she was out of my sight, which was good so it allowed me to focus on my own fight. I swung up my leg to kick him back in the stomach.

However he hardly got thrown back, he was stronger than I thought he was. To win I would need to rely on swiftness and not strength. I ran forward and swung my leg up to kick Sting across the face.

I hissed in frustration when Sting caught my foot with both of his hands, which caused some of the fan girls in the crowd to whisper. I jumped up, using the support that Sting was giving by holding my foot, and kicked him in the face. He imminently let go to hold his nose as I did a back flip to land gently on the ground.

"How dare you lay your filthy paws on him!" One of the girls shrieked as I smelled blood on the air. "You gave him a bloody nose!" Another girl shrieked as the crowd started to circle me. "H-Hey, it's a fight!" I hissed as I felt someone pulling at my hair.

"Honestly, I leave you alone and this happens?!" I squealed as I was unexpectedly lifted into the air. "Diamanta!" Diamanta was grabbing onto the back of my shirt to lift me out of the angry mob of fangirls. I could see Leopold hovering next to Petronilla as she seemed to be talking with him but the angry shouts drowned out their words.

"Leopold, Petronilla, we're going!" Diamanta raised her voice over the shouts to make sure they heard her. I could feel the wind switch in direction, now blowing the opposite way.

"You're a Dragon Slayer!" I saw that Sting was staring up at me in shock since my scent was blowing in his direction. "Yeah and so are you." I rolled my eyes as Diamanta lifted me a bit higher in the air. "Looks like our fight will have to wait till later blondie."

I chuckled at his annoyed expression as he finally realized that the fight will have to be postponed. "Maybe I can actually use my magic next time, who knows." I smiled, a bit slyly, as I shifted my gaze over to Petronilla.

The black haired man was standing a bit away from her as he inspected the newly arrived Leopold. "Farewell." Petronilla softly said as she nodded her head towards him as Leopold flew around to gather our cloaks that surprisingly weren't trampled by the mob.

The man didn't say anything as he turned his head away looking to the side as Leopold returned to Petronilla's side with our cloaks. Petronilla took her cloak back and tied it leaving her hood down. Diamanta flew down over to Petronilla and set me down before sitting on top of my head glaring at the mob of fangirls, daring them to come closer and face her wrath. "Thanks Leopold." I took my cloak from him and tied it while Sting's voice echoed through the street.

"You owe me a rematch next time we meet." I shrugged before starting to walk away with Petronilla next to me. Leopold settled down on her head so he could chat with Diamanta.

"Fate will have us meet again, Twin Dragon Slayers of Sabertooth." I raised my hand in farewell before letting it drop to my side without turning around. The crowd of girls, now seeing that the fight was over, now crowded around the Dragon Slayers and their exceeds which hid them from sight.

When we turned onto a quiet street I looked over to Petronilla and asked, "So, what did you think of them?" Diamanta and Leopold quieted down to hear Petronilla's answer.

"They were powerful opponents, I could sense their magical energy." Petronilla said slowly as she pondered over my question. "They were unique, I look forward to our next meeting."

"Well of course you're looking forward! You actually said something to that black haired guy." I smiled mischievously. "Did he catch your eye, Petronilla?"

"What about the blonde?" Petronilla said in a casual tone, but I knew it was her counterattack.

"I look forward to teasing Sting even more."

"So, when's the wedding?" Diamanta grinned to herself when I nearly fell over in shock. "D-Diamanta! Bad exceed!" I scolded her as Petronilla giggled at us. "I wonder what type of Dragon Slayers they are." Leopold piped up which turned our attention to him. "I don't know, I guess we'll find out the next time we meet them." I shrugged slightly as I saw the bakery was coming up.

"Who wants cookies?"
