Chapter 1
The sun shone high in the sky as it warmed the people of Earthland. Only a few white clouds were visible in the bright blue sky. A group of wizards were out on a mission as they neared a small town that was known for its cheerfulness and music.
"Are you sure this is the place, Rogue?" The White Dragon Slayer from Sabertooth asked with a tired and bored facial expression as he dragged his feet along the rocky ground. Rogue grunted and a trail of sweat cascaded from his dark features from the intense heat that covered the town.
"It's so warm…" Frosch mumbled and Rogue's eyes traveled to the small Exceed that wore a pink frog costume with the believe that he was an actual reptile. The green Exceed wiped his forehead and his face expression stayed impassive while his friend let out a sigh.
"Phew, you chose a warm place for a mission, Sting-kun" The red Exceed stated while wearing his usual navy blue top. Sting let a smirk cover his handsome features and cracked his knuckles as an unknown excitement bubbled up inside him.
"I like the heat" He said and Rogue rolled his eyes but a small smile came upon his lips. He knew why his twin was pumped up for the mission ahead and the heat had nothing to do with it. Sting raised an eyebrow at his partners smug grin and wondered what the dark head pondered about.
"I think he only chose it for the money" Rogue pointed out and an immediate glare was sent his way with almost the same impact as a punch through his face. Those blue eyes of his partner rivaled his own red slits and a weak tension rose between them.
"It sounded interesting! I didn't even take a glance at the award!" Sting retorted and Rogue chuckled at his partner's reaction. Sting narrowed his slits at the dark male as he felt the urge to prove his statement with or without fists.
"Whatever you say…but it did seem interesting. A request to find the Dragon Spirit that haunts the town…" Rogue trailed off and Sting smirked as he punched his fist into his hand palm feeling the unknown rush again.
"I'm going to kick that Dragon's ass and come back with that large reward!" He exclaimed with a smirk that made his fangs visible. The three males looked at the Blonde as a small trail of sweat cascaded down his features and he immediately regretted his words.
"I thought you didn't look at the reward?"
Sting laughed nervously before darting off towards the town leaving the others dumbstruck on their spots. "Sting-kun! Wait up!" Lector called in alarm while Rogue chuckled before he and his Exceed ran after him.
Sting stopped at the bridge that led to the town and his brows furrowed while a frown made its way to his lips. "Hey! It wasn't necessary to run, you know!" Rogue snapped before his face fell at his friend's facial expression.
"What's wrong, Sting?" Rogue asked before a strange scent made its way to his nose. His eyes darkened and he looked back at the town where the people walked around with smiles and laughter. Though the atmosphere around them were something else entirely.
"That's a lot of Dragon scents… Are you sure it said only one Dragon?" Sting asked as he glanced back at his partner and Rogue pulled out a crumbled paper before he handed it over to his twin. Sting's eyes narrowed and an uneasy feeling washed over his handsome features.
"An unknown Dragon Spirit… Hell, there's more than just one!" Sting exclaimed smelling the air again as he roughly handed over the request to his partner and Rogue growled deep within his throat but didn't say anything as he put the paper away.
"How many Dragon Spirits do you smell, Sting-kun?" Lector asked and Sting's face darkened making his Exceed swallow hard. Even his companion felt a shiver run up his spine from the darkened faces of the Dragon Slayer and held a bit tighter on Rogue's clothing.
"I smell about seven…no there's more… I can't really say…" Sting stated while rubbing his chin in uncertainty and the two Exceeds' eyes widened in horror. Rogue's brows furrowed and focused on the scent that lingered around them.
"More than Seven?!"
"That's bad" Rogue murmured and the rest nodded before slowly entering the town in. They walked around while following the scent and the people greeted them with warm smiles though they seemed terrified in their eyes.
"Welcome travelers! What brings you here to Heart Village?" They stopped in front of an older looking man with a white beard and white hair. He wore brown top with lighter pants and boots and around his belt he wore a whip.
"We're wizards from Sabertooth and we've traveled here on a request to vanquish a spirit that haunts your town" Sting said and their eyes widened. "Can it be…? The Twin Dragons from Sabertooth!" The old man exclaimed and everyone cheered.
"We're saved!"
"They'll slay that Dragon Spirit!
"Please! Come this way!" The elder man said and the reluctantly followed him. Rogue's eyes fixated on the whip he had to his side and they narrowed at the dark feeling he got from them. The elder man came to a stop and pushed open a pair of wooden doors of a wooden cabin near the center of the town.
The wood was a bit blotchy from neglect but inside it looked luxurious. There was a small living room and a small kitchen in the area they entered. He led them to two rooms deeper inside the cabin and showed them to their room and bathroom.
"This is where you can stay for the time being. It's as luxurious as we can make it so I hope that it will satisfy your needs" Sting glanced into the medium sized room with two beds and wooden cupboards next to the bed while Rogue looked around in the living room area.
"It's actually more than enough" Sting said and in the corner of his eyes the man smiled widely. He suspiciously eyed the elder man and his blue slits scanned over his features while smelling him briefly and hearing his calm heart rate.
"I'm relieved to hear that! Please ask if you need anything! We're having a feast in your honor tonight so please feel free to join!" Sting and Lector abruptly smiled widely while Rogue chuckled at their reaction to anything related to a feast.
"We'll be sure to be there!"
The man nodded before walking out into the living room on his way to the exit. "Before you go, we'd like to ask you more about this spirit that you say is haunting your town" Sting halted and the male glanced back.
He agreed and they sat down on the comfortable couches while the Exceeds explored the cabin a bit more. There were two comfortable rooms and two bathrooms with a kitchen just right for them to use.
"You see, there was always this Dragon Spirit roaming this town but at first it was in peace. Then, one day after a dreaded fire, the Dragon came back but it was different. It started to destroy old buildings and people started to vanished" The male stated with a despair facial expression.
"People go missing? Since when did this happen?" Rogue asked with furrowed brows and the elder man sighed. His features showed his discomfort to talk about the subject and his pulse slightly went up enough for both the Dragon Slayers to notice.
"It started a few weeks ago and we sent out the request since we're out of options to stop it. Despite its nocturnal behavior we found it attacks the town through the day as well" The elder male stated as he rubbed his palms together and his eyes narrowed.
Rogue pondered for a bit about the subject that seemed to linger throughout his thoughts and glanced back at the male. "Sir, are you sure there's only one Dragon Spirit?" Rogue asked and the elder man's eyes widened.
"I'm sure, why do you ask? Do you think there's more than one Dragon haunting this town?!" Sting shook his head as he tried to calm the man's nerves. The male was obviously afraid of the thought of just one Dragon and he didn't want to complicate anything, yet his pulse didn't pick up.
"We're just wondering, but thank you for the information. We'll sort this spirit out in no time" The man sighed in relief and Sting gave Rogue a glance as he saw his partner look down with a deep facial expression.
"Thank you so much! Please come and enjoy the feast later on!" The elder said standing up and bowed before he exited without another word. Though everything about him seemed fake and they felt that something was still being held from them. A vital piece of information.
"He's hiding something" Sting's brows knitted together as he looked at his partner whose red eyes gleamed with suspicion and he nodded. For a moment he was grateful that his partner could decipher and see everything his way.
"Fro think so too!" The frog-costumed Exceed suddenly exclaimed with a frown as he sat down next to Rogue. Their eyes traveled to the arriving Exceeds and Rogue petted his Exceed while Lector stood on the small coffee table in front of them.
"What do you mean, Rogue-kun?" Lector asked with a confused yet blank expression as he crossed his paws over his small chest.
"I have a nagging feeling that he's lying to us about something. It's best we investigate this situation ourselves" Sting grunted and stood up before a grin made its way to his features in memory of the elder male said.
"Then let's get out there! The faster we get this investigation done, the faster we can feast!" Sting exclaimed and Lector wasn't long after him with the cheering before they practically drooled at the thought of food.
"You two are so alike" Rogue commented standing up along with his Exceed who put up his paw to give his own comment that resembled the dark male's.
"You two are also a lot alike"
"That's not quite the truth"
"Yes it is"
Rogue rolled his eyes before exiting the cabin and as soon as the dry wind hit him, he smelled the Dragon scents located onto one source. Odd… He thought and his eyes narrowed as he glanced around in search of the direction of the scent.
"Whoa! Now that's a concentrated scent! It's like a mixture of deodorant in one can!" Sting exclaimed and Rogue snapped out of his thoughts. He glanced at Sting before shaking his head in disapproval at the comment.
"You're the only one who can come up with something like that" Rogue pointed out and Sting held his head high as he walked on with his arms crossed over his chest, his Exceed by his side as he looked around in wonder of the town.
"I'll take that as a compliment!" Rogue brushed past Sting's arrogance and they walked on while following the direction of the scent. They passed a lot of stalls and people around them while glancing around for the source but struggled to follow it.
"I don't know if this scent is good intoxicating or bad" Sting stated shaking his head with a sigh and Rogue glanced at his partner before looking back into the crowd. He had to agree that the scent was intoxicating but even he didn't know if the source may be an enemy or an ally.
"We'd better find-" A cloaked figure bumped into the two Dragon Slayers and their eyes shot towards the figure as time slowed for a few seconds. The cloaked figure walked on without an excuse and was visible in the crowd before slowly blending in with the people.
"Hey! Don't you know any manners?!" Sting snapped as he glared at the figure but found no response behind the figure inside the crowd. His eye twitched along with his hand and an agitated vein pulsed on his head.
"Sting… that's it. The source" Rogue broke his trail of thought and Sting sniffed the air to realize his partner's correct.
"Don't let him get away!" He ordered and they ran after the figure while the two Exceeds took to the skies to keep an eye on the figure. Sting and Rogue passed the people in a synchronized action and managed to catch up to see the figure.
The figure brushed passed the people in the crowd with ease and never missed a step. Sting growled as he started to struggle to get passed the people and glanced at Rogue who grunted before shifting into the shadows.
"Lector!" Sting called and his Exceed swooped down before grabbing the collar of his jacket. Lector lifted him up in the sky and Frosch flied in next to them. They glanced at the crowd again in search of the figure that swiftly moved past all the people.
"Damn! How is he so fast?!" Sting's eyes found Rogue's shadow as he appeared just behind the figure before the figure took a turn. Sting's eyes widened when he saw the danger in front of his twin and growled.
"Rogue!"
Rogue's eyes widened when a carriage appeared in front of him and he vanished in the shadows before appearing behind the carriage. He glanced around but the figure was gone and Sting looked at the green Exceed next to him. "Frosch, get Rogue. We'll handle this" Sting ordered and the Exceed nodded.
"Drop me but keep an eye on him" Sting ordered as he looked at the figure and Lector nodded before Sting landed on the ground in a crouched position. He quickly got up and ran after the cloaked figure that walked on through a deserted path.
"Hey, you! Stop right there!" Sting cried running as fast as he could towards the figure that came to an abrupt halt. He jumped, ready to tackle the figure before the figrue turned to walk another path. Sting's eyes widened and his hand brushed passed the hood while his eyes caught glance of something white.
He's wearing headphones?
Sting yelped when he crashed into a solid wall and it crumbled in around him. "Sting-kun!"Lector cried before Sting burst out of the rubble while glaring at the figure. He had his teeth gritted and a visible vein throbbed from his temple as he clenched his fists in anger.
"Now you're going to get it!" He took a deep breath as a white aura surrounded him. "Holy Breath of the White Dragon!" A white laser shot from out of his mouth towards the figure and just before it hit the figure bent down to pick something up. The attack missed and exploded in the air making Sting fume.
The figure then resumed walking while Sting let out a roar before Rogue appeared in front of the figure from the shadows. The figure stopped and looked at Rogue who had an impassive expression plastered on his face. Sting jumped with his fist charged with magic and let out a roar making Rogue's eyes widen.
"Sting, wai-!" The figure turned to glance back and Sting missed it once again before crashing into Rogue. The Exceeds winced as they descended towards the ground and looked at the two Dragon Slayers that had crashed into each other.
"What do you think you're doing, idiot?!"
"I was trying to punch the bastard for mocking me!"
"You never listen when I say wait!"
"You never get out of the way when I'm trying to punch someone!"
The two Exceeds sweat dropped as the two Dragon Slayers bickered and pulled on each other's hair and faces. "Um…We're on a mission, Sting-kun, Rogue-kun" Lector murmured pointing back at the cloaked figure that stood still.
They glanced back at the Exceeds before pushing each other away with a glare and looked back at the figure. "Who are you?" The figure's voice was soft and somewhat husky making the two Dragon Slayers swallow hard but Sting was quick to regain his composure.
"Who the hell are you?!" Sting asked regaining his composure faster than Rogue who had his eyes locked onto the cloaked figure. The concentrating scent was most definitely coming from the figure and the pressure around him was incredible.
"I asked you first, Blondie" The figure snapped huskily at the Blonde Dragon Slayer and he growled dangerously. Veins throbbed painfully agitated on Sting's head and he clenched his fists ready to beat up the cloaked figure.
"We're wizards. My name is Rogue and this is my partner Sting" Rogue stated calmly as he stepped forward and everyone stared at him in disbelief except the figure. Sting felt his anger break and was thankful for his partner.
"Now reveal your identity" Rogue ordered and the figure slowly pulled back the hood to reveal the face of the source carrying the concentrated scents. Their eyes widened in shock and disbelief and the figure stared at them impassively.
"You're a woman?!"
