Dante was busy doing back flips, somersaults, cartwheels and a whole bunch of other acrobatic things, whilst moving his sword 'Rebellion' with his movements. Meanwhile Riv was standing in the corner beside the wall, as she watched Dante.
He performed his final attack move, he ran up the wall, back flipped off, just as he was about to land he then did a somersault, then finished with a sort of half twist-roll in midair, bringing 'Rebellion' crashing down on the concrete pavement before landing in a crouching position with his left arm swept across his body, his right arm outstretched holding 'Rebellion' and his head down.
He stood up and turned to face Riv.
"Impressive?" he asked, knowing her answer.
"I suppose," she replied
Dante almost choked, that wasn't the answer he was expecting.
"What do you mean you suppose?" he asked, "I spent ages customizing those moves."
Dante looked at Riv annoyed.
"I'll show you, the difference between impressive and just plain good."
Dante was about to start attacking with 'Rebellion', he swung it round his head, and then he brought it down before, swinging round again.
All of a sudden there was a cry from above.
Riv and Dante both looked up to see a large purple coloured Dragon flying over head. Daroseney, for that was her name, landed in front of Riv.
"Daroseney, what's wrong?" Riv asked looking at the 'Storm Dragon' concerned.
"How can you tell something's wrong?" Dante wondered 'she might just want to visit."
"The 'Elemental Dragons' never come on their own accord, even Dynasty." Riv answered, still wondering why Daroseney had come to her.
Riv stood listening to Daroseney as she communicated through telepathy, while Dante stood their looking confused.
All of a sudden Riv's head snapped up and she climbed onto the back of Daroseney.
"I know you don't like carrying people Daroseney, but this is the quickest way to get their," she told the dragon "come on."
She called to Dante, signalling to him to get on.
"You can't be serious," he said to her extremely concerned.
"Yes, I am, now get on; I'll explain what's happening on the way there."
Dante cautiously climbed onto the back of Daroseney behind Riv. No sooner had he sat down and Daroseney flew straight up into the sky above the clouds. Leaving Dante hanging to Riv for life basically.
"Some Demon-Hunter you are" Riv said sarcastically, turning round to see Dante's body glowing with a red aura. "What's wrong?" she asked looking at Dante.
"I start to jump to Devil-Trigger if I get a sudden shock, that includes flying vertically upwards without warning." He replied, trying desperately to calm down and return to human status. Instead of flickering back and forth between human form and demon form.
Riv smirked before turning back round to face the frontal direction.
When they were above the clouds Daroseney levelled back out again.
"She's not very fast is she?" Dante pointed out as they flew over the top of the clouds
"She's not meant to be, she's the strongest 'Elemental Dragon'" Riv replied.
"I thought they were all the same, you know when it came to, like ability." Dante asked
"No, each 'Elemental Dragon' has its own element and special ability." Riv told Dante, who had finally stopped changing between the two forms.
"So...which has what?" Dante asked curiously
"Well, Daroseny is the strongest and she's also the leader, Dynasty is the fastest and is second leader..." Riv started before Dante cut in.
"What does that mean?" he asked "second leader, what's that?"
"It means Daroseney can go to Dynasty for advice on something if she's unsure and if Daroseney leaves or is no longer allowed to be leader then Dynasty takes her place" Riv replied "Dynasty probably has a more difficult job because of Daroseney coming for help, when the other Dragons want it."
"Oh right, what about the other Dragons then?" Dante enquired
"Lava is the most aggressive, towards anything and everything really, his sister Estuary is the most placid, tame, timid however you want to put it and finally Palidin is the wisest, even though he's the smallest." Riv replied
"Are they the only ones?" Dante asked, hoping the answer was yes. Originally he only Dynasty was the only true Dragon, until now.
"No there are at least two more," Riv replied, "Ezkiemajok or Ezkie as I like to call her for short and Celestial."
"What do they do then?" Dante wondered aloud
"Well, I'm not sure but I think Ezkie is the 'Earth Dragon' and Celestial is the 'Space Dragon' however I haven't discovered either of them yet."
"Is it important that you discover them?" Dante asked
"Yes very," she replied sharply, "because if I don't someone else will see them first and probably kill them, then that means I have failed as the 'Dragon Protector'"
"Maybe they don't want to stay with you," Dante suggested.
"They don't have to, when the one of the other Dragons find either of them, they call to me, then I stick a collar round the Dragons neck and it's off again." Riv answered as Daroseney started to slowly descend.
"How do you mean?" Dante asked
"Well, the 'Elemental Dragons' don't like being stuck together in one place, so it's just easier to let them fly around until I want them, but once they are in my protection they come to me whenever I call," she told him "that's how I can't get Ezkie or Celestial yet."
Daroseney landed smoothly, in front of a small collection of dragons; these were the other 'Elemental Dragons'. Riv slid off onto the damp grass.
Walking forward, Dante called to her,
"Are you sure it's safe?" he asked worried.
"Yes, very." She replied smiling.
As he did so one of the three surrounding Dragons turned his head, seeing Dante he began to growl. The Dragon was fairly big and was red-orange in colour; it had long curving wings with a strange spiral/fire pattern on its wings.
"Lava!" Riv shouted at the 'Spit-Fire Dragon'
Lava greeted Riv, bowing his head to the 'Dragon Protector', still watching Dante out of the corner of his eye. The others saw Lava and turned to face the 'Dragon Protector' each bowing their heads in turn.
"Lava lay off him already," she told the large 'Spit-Fire Dragon'
Lava took a step to one side, finally revealing what the Dragons had found so interesting.
Riv gasped as she saw the red wing tip of her precious 'Shadow Dragon'
I'm going to end it there, because it seems such an interesting place to stop. I think I mentioned the 'Elemental Dragons' in chp1, if I didn't they're the five dragons which Riv has to protect. I'm sure I've told you about already. Please read and review.
