Romeo, Jess and Jason were walking through a partially burned forest. They walked towards a river and saw many animals all gathered together.

"Let's take a quick break." Romeo told his companions.

Jason sat back against a tree and Jess jumped and laid under the shade of the tree. Romeo walked over to the water and filled up his bottle.

"So I know we've been together for awhile but I don't really know who you were before the dragons attacked. What were you guys doing prior to the dragons?" Jess asked.

"Before the dragons I didn't even know magic, I was just a boy. I was out playing with my friends when the news came. My parents took me and we left our home. We were attacked by hatchlings and I alone was saved by my master who taught me my magic. Although he died later on." Jason revealed. "What about you Jess, what did you do?"

"I was an orphan. I did whatever I had to to survive and I somehow taught myself magic, God slayer magic of all things. The town I lived in was being evacuated but many stayed because we thought that we could handle ourselves. I'm one of the few who survived the attack. I used to think that me being an orphan limited how someone could live. Now almost everyone is an orphan." Jess explained.

"That had to be rough." Jason replied.

"You lost your family in all this, if anything you had it hard." Jess argued.

"What about you Romeo, I know you hate talking about your past." Jason asked.

After a moment of silence, Romeo began to speak, "I was apart of a magic guild before all this. I was at ground zero when the dragons came. No one expected it, we were all in the middle of a celebration. I saw many of those close to me be killed. This scar on my eye was given to me when someone close to me saved me from death. But now all of them are dead."

After hearing about Romeo's past, Jess and Jason were quiet for a minute. Jess jumped up and began to stretch.

"So where is our next destination?"

"I'm not sure, we don't really have a goal right now." Romeo confessed.

The three froze as they heard a rustling. The three turned and was a man appear.

"Well I'll be, I didn't know that there were any people still alive out here." the man exclaimed.

"Wait, any people out here, are you saying there's a settlement?" Jess asked.

"That's right, a whole city of living people. We have homes and food and clean water. I'm out hunting for them right now." the man revealed.

"Can you take us there?" Romeo asked.

The three were sitting in a wagon beside some dead deer. The hunter was in the front riding the horse pulling the wagon.

"How is there a city still standing? Didn't the dragons decide to destroy everything?" Jason asked.

"Well not every dragon. Our city has dragons who live there and protect us. As long as we raise food to feed them then they let is live. Compared to what I've heard happens outside the city, this is quite ideal." The hunter revealed.

The three looked at each other with a similar look of disbelief.

"Are the people there happy?" Romeo asked.

"Well that's a hard question to answer. Not everyone likes the living conditions but we all get to live. No one openly talks against it because there are dragons in the form of humans living amongst us. None of us stand a chance of fighting them."

"This sounds too good to be true." Romeo muttered.

"If you look to the right, you can see the city."

The three looked outside the wagon and saw a large city surrounded by a wall. While most of the city couldn't be seen, what could be seen was in great condition.

"What country are we currently in?" Romeo asked.

"We are within the borders of Joya. In just a bit we will be at the wall. I believe that any outsiders are interviewed upon entry by the governor but I've never heard of anyone being rejected."

After a few minutes, the wagon arrived at the city. There were a couple of similar wagons ahead of theirs. A man walked up to the wagon who appeared to be a guard.

"So, how was today's hunt?" the guard asked.

"Great, I even found a few people out there." The hunter revealed.

The guard looked in the wagon and saw the three all sitting inside.

"Well then we need to tell the governor so he can interview them."

After about twenty minutes of waiting, Romeo, Jason and Jess were escorted into the city. They saw many people trying to run their businesses and kids playing together. They were taken to a building that wasn't to far from the gate. Once they entered, they were seated outside of a room with a man and woman standing outside. The man was dressed in a white shirt with a white tie. He also had on a pair of jeans. The woman was dressed like a secretary.

"Good afternoon, my name is Governor Chad Chaffee, but you can just call me Chad. Now I'm just going to interview you one by one just to learn about you. Afterwards I'll find a place for you to live and you can be on your way. Now can I interview you with the purple hair first."

Romeo was taken into the room where there was only a desk with three chairs. Romeo took a seat and Chad sat across from him. The woman took one of the chairs and moved it to the side of the desk where she sat.

"All right I'm just going to ask you some questions now, first off what's your name?" Chad asked.

"My name is Romeo Conbolt." Romeo answered.

"Tell me about yourself Romeo."

"Well I'm nineteen years old. I was born in Fiore. I've lost everyone and I'm now traveling with those two outside."

"What were your parents like?"

"My father, while very caring, was an alcoholic and I never met my mother."

"Are you a mage?"

"Yes I am, I use fire magic."

"Where were you when the dragons attacked?"

"I was with my family. We were having a celebration when the dragons appeared."

"What are your plans for the future?"

"Just living, I never thought that I'd see a city like this again. I thought that all of civilization was gone."

"You seen like a good guy if I'm being honest, but you need to plan for the future. That's how we survive and thrive. A man without a plan is basically like a wild animal."

"I'll keep that in mind. Do you have any other questions?"

"Just a couple more. What are you hiding under your hair."

"Is it that obvious?"

Romeo pulled his hair up and showed Chad his scar. After a few seconds, Romeo let his hair back down.

"That's a mean scar, mind if I ask how you got it?" Chad asked.

"I was attacked by an animal when I was younger. It did this before someone killed it." Romeo replied.

"What have you been doing the last few years?"

"I've just been wandering the land. Originally I was trying to find a safe place to live but now it has just been a habit."

"Alright now I just have possibly two more questions. Have you ever killed a dragon before."

"Yes I have, that's how I'm still alive."

"Why?"

"Let me ask you a question, if someone ever tried to kill someone close to you, your parents, your child or your lover or anything do the sort, wouldn't you do the same if you could."

"If you don't mind, could I ask you another question."

"Sure but I want you to answer a question of mine afterwards."

"How did you manage to kill a dragon?"

"Not all dragons are on equal power. While there are a few that are extremely powerful, many can be beaten my capable mages." Romeo explained. "Now for my question, what do the dragons want from the humans living here. They wouldn't just protect so many people here for no reason."

"I honestly don't know. They decided to do it and I never questioned it." Chad explained. "All these people living here are now safe and that's fine with me."

"Alright, I just want to make sure that this place is safe if I'm bringing my companions here." Romeo revealed.

"Welcome, can you start with your name?" Chad asked.

"My name is Jess, what would you like to know?"

"Tell me about yourself, like you past and where you grew up."

"Let's see, well I was born in a town in Seven, I don't remember what it was called I'm seventeen years old, I saw an orphan before the dragons and I'm here now."

"What do you think about your companions?"

"They're nice. Jason is trying to make the most of everything and Romeo wants to protect us. I know that he's hiding his past from us but that's fine. Not everyone likes to talk about their past. I trust both of them with my life. They are the first people to care about my well being."

"What was it like being out there?"

"Everyday was different. Some days we'd be walking together for days and some we'd get attacked by a dragon or by some crazy people."

"Who would be the leader of your group?"

"Definitely Romeo, he always seems to have a plan. He seems to be trying to find something but I don't know what. He always looks out for our well-being."

"How long have you been traveling together?"

"For about a year and a half. We protect each other and keep each other safe. If it wasn't for Romeo and Jason, I'd definitely be dead now."

"I believe that your name is Jason right? Tell me about yourself."

"There isn't much to tell, I'm 16 years old. My family was killed and I eventually met up with Romeo and Jess."

"Where did you used to live?"

"I lived outside the capital of Bosco."

"How did you manage to dye your hair with everything going on?"

"Trust me, you don't want to know."

"Do you have anything you want?"

"I want the world to return to the way it was in the past."

"So, what do you think of these three?" the secretary asked.

"I think they are very interesting. They are hiding information but they aren't trying to hide it. Their words seem to contradict each other but they have the utmost trust in each other." Chad declared.

"Should we keep am eye on them?" the secretary wondered.

"No, they are more likely to leave then cause trouble for the people living here." Chad insisted.

Romeo, Jason and Jess were all relaxing inside of a room. Their temporary home, while not very big, was much better then how they'd normally live. After showering and putting on fresh clothes, they were ready to explore the town. Romeo was wearing an outfit almost identical to his old one. Jason wore a green hoodie with a black shirt. He also wore a black beanie on his head. Jess wore a white blouse with a red shirt. They each left the home and went off to explore. They walked town the community near them. They saw many shops with various items and many people in the nearby park.

After looking around, they decided to relax at the park. They were laying under the shade of a tree while children ran by, laughing. Romeo noticed a young girl walking towards him. The girl had dark green hair tied back in a ponytail and a cowboy hat. She had a brown vest on over a white top and a pair of blue shorts. The girl ran up and hugged Romeo.

"Asuka what are you doing?"

A pink haired woman ran over, stopping once she noticed Romeo. The woman wore a pink blouse and a white skirt. Romeo and her both stood staring at each other for a moment before Romeo stood up and walked over to her.

"Chelia…"
