Chapter 13:
The night was clear as Kratos looked up the sky. He turned his head and saw a flaming ball of fire streak across the sky.
"That's odd, what could that be?" he asked himself as it passed over head.
The ball of fire smacked right into the ground, bounced up and then slid across the snow and slammed into a glacier. Kratos ran over to the burning wreckage that was Kai's Rheaird, Kai laid in the burning wreck, covered in snow and ice. His face was bleeding from cuts, and blood trickled from the side of his mouth as Kratos pulled him from the wreckage. He laid Kai down on the ground as he then put out the wreck and then retrieved Kai's necklace that was now a red jewel. Kai clothes were torn asunder and burnt. He had many burns all over his body and face.
Kratos carried him to Flanoir when he was taken to the church of Martel, to be treated by the cleric. They had wrapped Kai's face and body in a special wrap that healed burns. They had also healed minor wounds and wrapped his lower chest. After they had healed him, Kratos had booked him a room at the inn, so that he would have a place to stay while he rested and healed from his accident.
"Ugh...where am I" asked Kai as he floated around in a white room.
"Welcome master, you are in the realm of the summoned dragons." Replied the red dragon as he sat in a circle along with the other dragons.
"So this would be where you guys stay after I take your power." Kai said as the dragons looked at him. "So what you call me here for?"
"Another dragon calls us from the land of Sylvarant." Said the Black dragon, after the Blue dragon lean his head down.
"He is the master of all dragons; he has the power to go back and forth through time." He said as Kai looked at him. "His power is sealed in this time, but he can be unleashed by giving up our power."
"I have to give up your powers to summon him?" he said as he grabbed the dragon emblem around his neck.
"Yes, you will still have our items but you will lose the ability to fly." Replied the Green dragon as they looked at each other.
"You will lose the dragon wings but you will gain a new set of wings, if you hadn't noticed your exsphere has evolved." The Red Dragon cleared its throat. "It is now a Cruxis crystal. You have attained the level of Holy Dragonmaster."
A week later in Meltokio...
Lloyd and his group had entered the city and had run into Kratos, who was leaving. After a long hostile chat, Kratos had said. "You should head to Flanoir; one of your friends is recovering from an accident."
They looked at each other then Lloyd turned to say ask Kratos something but he had already left.
"Grrrrr...Damn him! What friend is he talking about? And what is this Flanoir?" asked Lloyd as he turned to his friends.
Sheena looked at him and replied, "I don't know what he was talking about but, Flanoir is a small city in the frozen wasteland in the north."
"Well, we can't do anything till we find Colette, and retrieve the Rheairds." Said Raine as they looked at Sheena.
'I wonder if Kai could be in this land, since he was taken to another place.' Thought Raine as she looked at Lloyd.
Back at Flanoir inn...later that day,
"Okay Kai, its time to take off the bandages." Said the female cleric as she walked in the room.
Kai turned and looked at the mirror, his head was mostly covered in bandages, and even his hair was covered. The cleric walked over and began to unravel the bandages. One by one they fell to the ground, revealing a new face. His skin was now lighter and smoother, his nose had become smaller, and his hair now reached far past his shoulders. The only other noticeable change was the red skin mark that took up his left cheek. It was like an upside down L that had its edges sharpened to make it look like a pointy edge.
When she was done, she looked at him and said, "There now isn't that better? You're already to go."
Kai thanked her and she had left. On his bed was a new suit that he had made using clothes Kratos had given him. He put it on and stood in front of the mirror. He was dressed in black; his left arm was covered by what looked like a beetle's wing cover. On his right shoulder was his sliver armor that doubles for support as he carried his sword on his back. His pants were black and his boots were white and black with steel on the front and sides of it. He had thrown a white cloak over himself to protect him from the unforgiving winter cold.
He left the city and headed for the ice caves. On the way he had sensed a dragon, so he headed for the rigid cliffs near the icy ocean. When he got there, he had seen a female girl and a dragon playing. When Kai approached them, they stopped and the girl said,
"The dragonmaster has come! He has come for our power!" She was dressed in white, as she stood near the white dragon.
"Well that's right to the point, so how about a fig-?" said Kai as he was cut off by the girl.
"We don't want to fight, we want to have fun! We will give you our power if you play with us!" she said in a giggly voice.
"So what are you think of red-light, green-light? Tag?"
"Tag, let's play tag!" she said as she got on the dragon's back.
"Okay...I take it I'm it?" said Kai as wings sprouted from his back.
"You got it! Now come get us!" She said before the dragon took off.
Kai took off after the dragon; he headed into the western skies after the girl and her dragon. He was behind the dragon flying as fast as he could. They flew over the artic ocean, and over a group of island, and then they turned south towards Sybak. After an hour of flying they passed over the forest that Kai had found the Green Dragon. The White Dragon dived at the ground, Kai followed her. They flew at a high speed, a speed that upturned the ground below them.
Not to far away, Lloyd and his party was headed for Mizuho, unknown to them what was coming.
"Two objects approaching at high speeds." Said Presea as the party looked around to see what she's talking about.
As they looked around, the Dragon passed them leaving a slash mark in the ground, seconds later Kai did the same. As they were passed they jumped, then they looked at the ground.
"What in the world was that?" asked Lloyd, as he looked at the ground.
"I don't know what that was but it was fast." Replied Sheena as she looked at Lloyd.
"The two objects were dragons, a white one and a red one." Said Presea in an absolute voice.
"What!?" They all cried as they looked at Presea.
Back in the chase, Kai was beginning to get upset. "Man, I'm too slow!" he said as his body became surrounded by a black aura. He then came to a stop, and his mana began to grow. The Dragon stopped and turned around to look at Kai.
Genis and Raine stopped and looked at the sky. "I feel a great source of mana building!" Genis said as everyone looked at the sky.
"Yes, it's much like the power of a summon spirit." Recalled Raine as she placed her hand on her face.
Kai's aura spread and wrapped its self around him. Covering him in a protective shell as the sky itself became black.
"Wh- what is this immense power coming from him? Could it be the same as the last Dragonmaster?" said the little girl on the Dragon.
