"So what does your kind eat mostly?" Flea asked Genesis.
The dragon shifter spent a few days to rest before she felt strong enough to walk about the castle. She and Flea were in the castle library since Genesis had a weakeness for books. Thankfully Magus didn't have a problem with others reading the books in there.
"Mostly wild animals and prey from the sea" Genesis explained while looking for something interesting to read.
"So humans were never on the menu huh?" Flea joked.
"Ecch no" the dragon shifter answered making a face.
A book with a blue covering caught Genesis's interest and she took it from the shelf. The book appeared to be on history another subject that Genesis found interesting. Flea chuckled before nodding for his friend to follow. The two of them chose some arm chairs near the library entrance and sat down.
"Have you seen Eclipse?" Genesis inquired noticing the black cat wasn't with them.
"Not today no" Flea answered. Genesis simply shrugged. The size changing cat could take care of himself and find her later.
"So what else is false about dragons?" Flea asked next.
"Your that interested in me?"
"Just your kind in general dragon shifters are usually shy"
"That is true" Genesis agreed. "However not all dragons hoard gold and jewels, each shifter is different when it comes to think we like, we don't eat humans and tend to live peacefully with them, but there are monsters and humans who want us extinct"
Genesis suddenly went quiet. She remembered the day she and Stefan had been attacked. Those human had been watching her and her sibling for awhile before the assault happened. Flea decided about to change the subject.
"Who taught you magic?"
"All dragon shifters are be on with a magic element and live in a clan" Genesis started. "My clan lived in the mountain range near a fiend village called Medina, anyway there was always some elder dragon that would teach the younger ones how to use their magic properly, some shifters are sometimes born with two elements"
"And you were one of the few who gained that" Flea stated.
"The paternal side of my family is famous for having two magical elements, it usually skips a generation, Stefan had two elements as well which were light and shadow magic"
"What happened to your clan?"
"A virus killed most of the clan, for awhile the virus seemed to disappear and a year later it reappeared, my mother caught it first and she died, my father died not long afterwards"
Genesis stopped before continuing.
"Dragons have a single mate in their life time and the bond is strong"
"Which resulted in your parent's deaths" Flea finished.
"Yep" Genesis confirmed. "Survivors of my clan decided it was best to leave and we did, we flew over the ocean and settled in a new territory"
"Oi!"
Genesis and Flea turned to see a group of monsters staring at them.
"Oh shoot I forgot I had patrol!" Flea exclaimed getting to his feet. Since the battle days before patrols had been increased.
"Go on I don't want Ozzie chewing you out" Genesis said waving her hand.
"I'm not afraid of that drama queen" Flea huffed before he and his patrol group disappeared in a puff of smoke.
This book should have interesting information Genesis heard her dragon say.
Finally awake after our epic battle? Genesis teased her inner beast.
You overdid it hatchling her dragon growled before she went quiet.
Shaking her head Genesis opened the book and started to read the contents. She was soon engrossed with the history of the Kingdom of Zeal. She had heard about Zeal and how the people within it had magic. However what had befallen the kingdom was a mystery. Suddenly Genesis growled as her head suddenly hurt. She dropped the book as her vision suddenly changed.
The dragoness no longer sat in the library but instead was standing in some hallway. The meow of a cat made her turn and Genesis saw a young boy hurry past her with a purple cat following behind. He had blue hair with pointed ears hiding beneath it. He wore a purple robe of some kind. Genesis followed after the boy as he continued to run.
"Schala!" the boy shouted as he entered the room with his cat.
Up ahead were three old men along with a woman and a teenage girl. The girl was very beautiful and Genesis could sense her magic. Like the boy and the older woman she had blue hair that was held back in a high pony tail. She also wore a purple robe and Genesis wondered if this human female was royalty.
"No! Janus! Stay back!"
"But!" the boy said.
Suddenly the room flashed red and a second later it changed.
"Holy Shit!" Genesis cried as something very large appeared behind everyone ahead. Whatever the hell it was she didn't like it. It was then her dragon roared in her mind. The roaring was so loud Genesis hissed and her dragon took over. Genesis's canines elongated into sharp fangs as her claws came out. Her eyes turned reptilian and Genesis looked to the green creature ahead of her.
Murderer! Dragon Killer! Genesis's dragon shrieked.
"Genesis wake up!"
Genesis and her dragon heard Magus calling for them. However the intense hatred for the unknown creature was clouding their judgment. Then Genesis suddenly felt her dragon half go silent and the vision before her faded. She was back in the library and she was on the floor. And Magus was holding her in his arms.
Eclipse licked his master's hands and Genesis reassured the feline she was alright.
"What happened?" Genesis asked as Magus helped her up.
"I don't know Eclipse suggested I follow him"
Genesis wasn't surprised the fiend lord could communicate with her cat due to his magic.
"You lunged yourself at me when I came in here" Magus continued.
"I'm sorry" Genesis apologized. "I had a vision of some sort and something in it made my dragon very angry"
This news caught Magus's attention.
"What did you see?" he asked.
"It was just a vision milord nothing more"
"I want to hear otherwise"
Genesis looked into the dark mage's red eyes and she knew he was interested in what she had to hear.
"Very well" she agreed.
