The Mighty Beasts of Old are many things... One of which had never been forgiving.
This aspect has become quite clear as one such beast's pride was dealt a blow by another youth clothed in Blue, to add insult to injury. Seething, Slifer had to recall that there could not snap the smug mortal into minced bits between their jaws.
"Slifer Slacker"
Slifer. SLACKER.
The words and the tone they had been gifted to the youth the great dragon had been watching swirled like a thunderous, vengeful storm in its mind. Seeing the 2 youths duel brought an idea to interrupt the baleful winds of this storm, and quickly redirect the monster's wit to a purpose and goal. Easily as it was for it to manipulate the skies was the works of luck and chance to them to bend. And with this duel, in a test of this power it had let dormant with neglect, they excised it.
To see the looks and smiles of triumph upon the youth's face, and the subsequent expressions of anger and shock upon the one clothed in Blue riled up a sense of... accomplishment. Though these minor acts were so insignificant, the beast had never seen firsthand the gratification that came with them. The feeling only built and built as the duel was drawing to a close, though halted from the sensing of intrusion. The youth of White and Blue, less offending than her kin in color, clearly wishing to help gave the other mortals warning. This was not an act to be forgotten by the creature.
Listening in to the trio's conversation its idea only strengthened in resolve when its lent gift of luck had come through. Better yet, this youth- Jayden, now having heard its name enough to make it stand out- knew how to use it cleverly. Wit was always to be treasured and honed when found, being so minimal in mortals of any time, and to find one not only with it of plenty, but a pliable nature and freer spirit made them a catch the god was not remiss to have hunted after.
It was that night that Slifer the Sky Dragon, god of the air and winds and storms, decided. The dorms of Slifer Red within Duel Academy, within this island, would have Luck, Success, and Triumph in their lives and pursuits here. All who stayed would gain these things, and those who would stay, despite offers to "move up" as the caste of this school referred to it, to the Houses of their fellow gods, Ra and Obelisk, those who would forgo such would only gain greater.
For Slifer was a god who knew the power and respect to come with Loyalty, well earned. And so those that would do so would have their favor.
Now, like Jayden, the monster couldn't wait for this year here to get underway. There was MUCH to do after all. . .
