Wind Dweller
After leaving the Underworld, Lina and Leon headed for the Norn Peaks. Luckily, Lina happened to still have the magic lamp on her since her teleportation powers were also gone. Once there, a female Dragoon jumped and attacked Leon with a pair of knives.
Lina looked at the girl. She had gray fur all over her body. Like Leon, her eyes were violet and her hair was black. Unlike Leon, whose ears stuck out of the sides of his head, her ears were on the top. A golden horn adorned her forehead. She wore a purple fur shirt, with a white fur external bra with a golden cord on top. A golden belt was around her waist with a small piece of armor hanging down in the front. She had on golden shoulder guards, golden boots, and golden arm guards. Her skirt was made of shaggy white fur, and was just long enough in the front and extra long around the sides and back. "Leon, you've finally found the other warrior?" she asked.
"Yes Rutee," Leon told her, "Now stand aside. I don't want to hurt you."
Rutee yelled, "Blasted Kronos, can't you two see what he is plotting?" Then she ran off, possibly to report to her master.
"Who was that?" Lina inquired.
"Her name is Rutee and she serves the White Dragon Atwight," Leon replied, "We must not concern ourselves with her. Our only goal is Igtenos, who lives atop the mountain."

They traveled until they arrived at the village of the Windcallers. These humanoid birds served Igtenos as Dragoons. As predicted, they refused to let Leon up the mountain. But the second he defied them, they got scared and ran away.
The duo traveled up the mountain after that. On the way, they met three Windcallers who were each guarding a different space on the mountain. Once they met, the battle would begin. Lina was calling upon the power of her Flame Harp to cast Infernal Flame on them. When it was shown that they were also magic users, she ran up and began to whack them with Dragon's Breath. Leon was using his ax to help as best as he could. It wasn't long before all three were dead.
Soon after, they saw the statue of a Windcaller. Three sounds were heard - - one for each of the dead Windcallers - - and then it disappeared. Apparently, the three of them were controlling a barrier in order to stop them from getting any farther. With the controllers dead, the barrier died as well. Now Lina and Leon were able to continue.
Some time later, another group of Windcallers dropped down on them. "We may be weak, but we still serve Igtenos. We'll stop you with our lives," they vowed.
Leon told them, "Such worthless lives." Then he cut down all four of them at once. Lina was almost shocked, they couldn't even fight back. But then Leon told her, "Listen to the strong." She did vow to have a little chat with him about this a little later.
It wasn't long before they came to the domain of Igtenos. "Igtenos," challenged Leon, "I have come for your Mana in my master's stead."
"So you are the Dragoon of Kronos. Are you not aware of what he is plotting?" a voice echoed. Suddenly, a big blue Dragon came out of the clouds and landed on the mountain before them. He looked mad, and Lina cursed the fact that she couldn't just Dragon Slave him.
'Luckily for me, my little friend just paid a visit. I would have lost my magic anyway, and by the time I'm back to my old self it'll be gone,' she thought.
Igtenos looked at her. "You seem to know nothing about what's going on. But I won't hold back either way. You are still an obstacle and an enemy, no matter what." With that, he took to flight and began his attack.
His incredible speed and ability to fly high made the instruments practically useless. But Lina still had her ring. She began to concentrate on falling rocks, since he was a dragon of wind. It wasn't the same as knocking him out and using Mega Brunt on him, but it was a close substitute. This would most definitely have to do until she got her powers back.
Leon was using his ax to chop Igtenos up every time he landed on the ground or was shot down by Lina. Lina just tried to keep him in striking distance of the ax at all times. Because of the teamwork they had managed, it wasn't long before victory was theirs.
They went to the back area of the cliff. There, they found the Mana Stone. Leon immediately began to send its power to Kronos as he and Lina took in the stone's light. It felt so warm and refreshing on their souls.
"Only two more to go," Leon reminded her, "Then we'll all come back to life. What will you do when you return to the living world?"
Lina told him, "I want to go back to traveling around the world with my friend and teaching my young apprentices magic. What will you do?"
"Oh, just continue serving my master, like any Dragoon," he replied. Leon had no intention of telling her of the plans he had. It may get her to turn on him here and now. Besides, he didn't want her to know of the end result he hoped to gain, since she'd think he was a softy.
"Well, I'm hungry," Lina confessed, "How about you treat me to some good food in the town of Lumina? Then we can get a few blessed days of rest before going onwards."
Leon didn't like the part about resting for a few days. It was as if she didn't care about being brought back to life. Then again, she may just be recoiling from the loss of all of her magic powers due to her death. If that was the case, he must cater to her every whim in order to get her ready for the fight with the second Dragon.

Well, another day another chapter. More characters are introduced. In ToD, Rutee was another party member who was always at odds with Leon, while Igtenos and Atwight were the Swordians of Wind and Water respectively. In fact, Rutee used Atwight in battle originally (you can switch who uses which one).
