In a land, far far away lies the kingdom of Fiore. A small pieceful nation where some have devoted their lives to the magic, which became part of their daily lifestyle. Better known as "wizards" banded together into magicial guilds in order to gain fame and fortune. Always aiming to hone their skills and possibilities. But there is a certain guild in a certain part of Fiore that was left behind. Deep in a long forgotten forest there lies a guild, within it a dark past. It's name...The Black Wings!"Hey kid, How long are you planning to stick on the ground huh?! "
I slowly moved my legs, sat up and rubbed my eyes. I opened them slowly to adjust my vision. My eyes then wandered to a dragon starring at me with an angry looking face. Its skin was covered with large silver azure colored scales and diamond blue eyes.
"Daydreaming again?! Sheeesh, Kesha you'll never master this technique if you Keep it up like that. At least Try to meet my expectations will ya!"
"Oh well, I never asked for this either. So it's only natural I won't show much interest to your lectures!" I glared at him. The dragon raised an Eye as he listened to my complain.
"I don't care about dragonslayer or magic. I'd like a nice home in the suburbs...and two kids at least! We whould have a lovely dog. I like dogs more cause they are so fluffy and happy but cats are also okay! It will be wonderful, The two of us will be like newlyweds forever and keep calling us "honey" and then he will..."
"ENOUGH ALREADY!" The dragon bursted out.
"I can't take this nonsense anymore! All that blubbering about your marriage makes my head explode."
This reaction was to be expected after he got turned down by his female swarm. Well, actually it was his sixth try in a row. But let's not get into this any further. To be honest, We both had our hard time finding the right one to share our life with. I set up my requirements simply too high. In order to avoid his grip, I decided to simply put a slide grin on my face. The dragon started to blush as he noticed to change the topic.
"W-Whatever...Just don't forget who you are. You're my daughter Kesha Stormrage, apprentice of Garuga Stormrage. As your parent, It is my duty to teach you everything I am capable of. So that one day, you may live your own life and defend yourself from evil. However in order to do so it is necessary that you give it your all. You must always focus and...*Brrriiing*..."
While trying my best to listen to all his lectures, his voice suddenly changed into a "briiiing" sound. I observed his speach carefully, also rubbed my ears to get rid of this annoying tone. But in vain. The ringing did not stop. I tried and asked father several times to reply what he just said, but it all turned out in a noisy ringing tone. The next thing I remembered was hitting my head badly on something.
*****************************************DREAM ENDS****************************************************************
"OUCH! W-Who...What...Where...? I mumbled to myself in a sleepy mood my eyes still closed. In the next moment, the ringing appeared again, but even louder then before.
"Brrriiiiiiinnnngg"..."Brrriiiiiiinnnngg"..."Brrriiiiiiinnnngg" Frantically I tried to cover my ears with the pillow. "Just... leave me alone..." I replied with a soft voice.
"BRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG..." This time it could even be heard from the streets. Which forced me to finally get up.
"Baaah! Fiiiine, I get it. I'm awake so stop it already...Gooosh!" As I tried to reach out to the alarm clock I surprisingly found myself lying next to the bed.
"Hm? How did I...?" The same moment, a flashback accured which reminded me talking to my father a few minutes ago. Realizing it was all a dream.
My eyes then wandered to the display of the clock, only to blame myself for getting to late on my first day at the new job. Assistant of a bar called " The flying horse".
" Kyaah, its already this late?! Oh no, I won't make it in time like this...!"
Without further redo I put on my white uniform with black parts on it and golden brooches on the arms. The keeper probably used this kind of uniform to protect its image as fine pub. Well, for my taste the skirt on this uniform seemed a little bit to short.I trimmed my hair, put on some makeup and rushed to the flying horse. It took me a little while to get there, but all in all I somehow managed to get there in time. I was determined to give it my best, put on a smile and served the people exemplary. We had many guests with some different demands for various dishes but somehow managed to satisfy them. Even the manager was impressed by my engagement. Anyone could tell that he whould probably hire me for this job. This was my chance. I was one step closer to turn my dreams into reality! At least until some drunk guy with his comerades showed up...
"Hey Miss! Gimme some beer! There is something to celebrate!" He shouted in the hall. "Today my pals and me here became proud members of Mo-Mochi's gang!" Not impressed by his shouting, I turned to the manager wondering about this "Momo-ji" Guy. It was obvious that this name the guest just mentioned summoned fear onto my chef and the other staff. He hesitated for a second before satisfying my curiosity.
"T-That Man got a pretty sum on his head. The magic council send out many wanted letters to c-capture that villain alive. He s-stole a dangerous book featuring the f-forbidden art to control the wind. Several times, a b-black mage used this forbidden art to summon storms and destroyed several villages just for his amusement. That tyrant Mo-Mochi with the nickname "the dragonslayer Stormrage". When I picked up the name "Stormrage" my skin became pale and sweat dripped down my face.
"V-villain?! Come oon...I never wanted this either! It was an accident! An accident I say! I loudly mumbled to myself, drewing the managers attention at myself.
"What is it?" My head became even more pale seeing his reaction. I tried my best to hide my true intentions.
"A-Ah, It it's nothing! A-haha...ha..."
In the meantime that drunk guy shouted again for a drink. The staff looked scared at each other until one finally made her move. I stopped her by waving my hand and took over the prepared drinks. Slowly approaching his table, I felt how his folks undressed me with their eyes.
"Uhm...Here is your drink Sir." Before I was able to place it in front of him, I suddenly felt how someone's hand reached my left leg. Their dirty thoughts pierced my whole body.
"Whoa, you've got some sweet Legs Babe. Wanna go for a ride?" One of his friends asked with sarcastic voice. The others started laughing and praising him. I turned to him, while putting on an innocent smile.
"Aww, thank you dear. I whould love to show you something special." Winks at him while he kept getting closer.
"Hooohoo! Now we are talking, Hehe!" He said with a perverted expression.
At this very moment My innocent smile changed into a sarcastic one."Storm dragon's crushing leg!" I ignited one of my legs swing it in an arc, striking his face with a powerful kick. Strong enough to send him flying through the wall. In matter of seconds, his friends came at me full of rage trying to avenge their friend. They outnumbered me, but unable to use any magic. Two approached from left and right throwing their fists at
me. Thanks to this uncoordinated move, it was easy enough to dodge their strikes and jump above to perform another counter attack. "Storm dragons spiral Jaw!" The Jump is canceled to transform the wind around my Legs into a bunch of storm rotating kicks. Both attackers crushed into the tables unable to move. Their leader, speachless kept watching as I gracefully land on my feet from this terrifying storm attack.
"T-The heck?! What the hell are you guys doin! Get her damnit!" He bursted out in fear while his legs were visibly shaking. Slowly I kept approaching him in a girlish walk while he increased the distance between us.
"S-Shit...You'll pay for that! Our boss will kill you all!" Is what he said before leaving the flying horse with his friends. I simply walked through the gap in the wall and waved my hand with another innocent smile.
"Thank you for visiting our Inn. Please come again!" After this last taunt, I felt a cold shiver on my back. Carefully my body turned around to meet the face of the angry Inn Keeper staring at me...
"Uh...ehm...I'm sorry?" In hope to avoid more trouble I tried playing the innocent girl scene to convince him.
Unfortunately, the Manager saw right through me. At least he promised to turn a blind eye once and refrain from reporting this to the Magic Council. Even so, the jewels I earned for today floated into the repair costs for the flying horse. I gathered my things and left the Inn afterwards. Instead on heading back home, I felt like walking down the street to calm myself. At the end of the street, there was a small hill near the river. This seemed to be the perfect place to relax a bit on the field. My eyes slowly closed as I witnessed the beautiful scenery on the sea.
"...Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Full of chances." I mumbled to myself before closing my eyes for a short time.
While myself was busy with listening to singing birds and alike, the scoundrels from before returned to their hideout located on the west part of the town. They used an old church which seemed to be desolated for quite some time. The whole building looked more like ruins. It was impossible to figure that this building used to be a church in the first place. The gang probably did this to let it look more like a proper headquarter for themself. As soon as they reached the center of the demolished hall, its huge robust gates closed behind them. The unharmed one then put his three defeated friends carefully on the ground. Afterwards he raised his voice to request help from their boss.
"Boss, There's an emergency! Take a look at our dear brothers!" The peeved guy shout while pointing at his beaten up comerades.
A moment later, black human like silhouettes stepped out from the shadows. It was a large crowd of people wearing black jackets with white stripes on it. Every one of them emitted a murderous gaze. Two more muscular guys made their appearance wielding a book in their right hand. Both in the same outfits but without the stripes on it. Finally their boss also showed himself in a flashy posing entrance. His face covered with a wide smile.
"Hehehe. Hands down, for I am the gorgeous dragonslayer Stormrage!" Their boss bursted out in pride while his fellows also started doing poses along. The drunk guy tried to report what just happened, but his boss was to busy with his posing stuff. That is before he mentioned, somebody from a bar insisted to defy the gang. Right away his expression turned into a serious one staring in his direction.
"What?" Simply asking out before continuing. " Are you saying there is some small fry who actually dares to insult me?!" Suddenly the whole tone inside the hall became silent.
"Y-yes, there is a girl working in the flying horse. Uhm... Never saw her before, so she is probably a newbie. We should teach her a lesson boss!" A loud scream in agreement echoed through the hall. Seeing their reactions, Mo-Mochi slightly grinned in acceptance to his fellows request.
"Yes my brothers. Let us give this girl a warm welcome in Velezia, Kuhuhu!"
