Hours later, the townspeople at the center of town with decorations everywhere. Tents were set up with games and food all around. Children were playing through the streets with joy as if the attacks from the Dark Guild never happened. Shadow made his way outside dressed in a black kimono, Ur had yet to show up though. Shadow sat down at a table where the banquet was gonna be held.
Shadow: Huh, feels like the attack never happened.
Shadow looked around and saw how happy the people looked, which put a smile on his face.
Liz: Hey there stranger.
Shadow turned to see the woman he ran into earlier before entering the town.
Shadow: Oh, it's you. Elizabeth right?
Liz: Yup but call me Liz for short.
Shadow: Ok then. How is your injury? It looked pretty bad.
Liz: It's fine. Doctors patched me up and said I was good to go.
Shadow: Good to hear.
Ur: Nice to see you two getting to know each other.
Shadow: Bout time you showed…
Shadow turned and saw Ur wearing a light purple kimono with a flower pattern on it.
Shadow: Up…..
Ur: Something wrong.
SHadow: No it's just….you look great.
Ur started blushing and messing with her hair.
Ur(blush) Oh um thanks.
Liz saw this,started smiling and pulled away Ur.
Liz: Be right back Shadow, we gotta have a girl talk.
Shadow: Uhhh..ok.
Ur and Liz disappeared from sight and then the mayor popped of nothing in a puff of smoke.
Mayor:HELLO!
Shadow: JESUS!
Shadow was startled by his sudden entrance.
Mayor: Oh my did I scared you my boy?
Shadow: No just... surprised me is all.
Mayor: Where is Ur?
Shadow: She went with a friend somewhere.
Mayor: You don't say? Well, why don't eat while you wait for her, I'm sure you must be starving after today.
Shadow: Well it has been a minute since I ate…
Mayor: Splendid! The servers will bring you anything like, so what would you like first?
Shadow smiled.
Shadow: I'll have one of everything.
Mayor: What…?
Meanwhile, Ur and Liz entered a nearby shop that Liz worked at, so they could talk in peace.
Ur: Liz the hell you drag me all the way over here?
Liz: Because I wanted to talk to you about Shadow.
Ur: What about him?
Liz: You like him don't you?
Ur started blushing and didn't know what to say.
Liz: I think you like him don't you?
Ur: Shut up! I don't know why but I just do and the crazy thing is I haven't known him that long.
Liz(gasp) So love at first sight! Even better!
Ur: Look I just don't want to come off as weird or anything.
Liz: Ur you deserve to be happy and it's obvious that Shadow likes you too. Trust me, all you need is some alone time.
Ur: You really think so?
Liz: Of course I do. Now let's get back, don't want to keep him waiting.
Ur: You're right, let's go.
The 2 women headed back to the party. As they arrived they saw a bunch of people gathered where Shadow was sitting. The closer they got they noticed a pile of empty plates stacked high. Ur and Liz were shocked Shadow eating plates full of all types of food.
Shadow: Hey there you are Ur, come on and dig in the food is great!
Ur: Umm ok.
Ur sat down next to Shadow, he handed her a plate full of delicious food.
Ur took it and started eating with him. Liz smiled and walked away to let them have some time to themselves. The party continued as music played and the townspeople danced and enjoyed themselves. Hours later, the townspeople started cleaning up and headed home. Ur and Shadow were at the town entrance getting ready to leave and head out.
Shadow: Thank you for everything sir, I had a good time.
Mayor: Think nothing of it, I'm just glad you two were able to save the town.
Ur: Well you know I'll always protect the town, it's like my second home.
Mayor: I appreciate that Ur. You two care now.
Shadow and Ur: We will.
Shadow and Ur picked up Ur and dashed off heading to her home. Minutes later, Shadow and Ur had arrived at the house.
Shadow: Well we're here.
Ur: Hey uh before we go in, mind if we talk.
Shadow: About what?
Ur: Do you plan on leaving? I mean going out and looking for your dragon.
Shadow: Well yeah that was the plan….
A look of disappointment and sadness slowly appeared on her face.
Ur: oh…
Shadow: But after today I decided to stay. The people here treated me so kindly like an actual person, where I'm from people saw me as a monster. And meeting you was the best thing to happen to me since I got here.
Ur: Really? Well maybe….since you're staying….maybe could…
Shadow: Could what?
Ur got closer to Shadow and kissed him on the lips. Shadow's eyes widened. Ur pulled away blushing.
Ur: You could stay here with me.
Shadow: Ur, I don't know what to say….
Ur looked down thinking she screwed by kissing him so suddenly. But then Shadow pulled to him and kissed her back for a deep passionate kiss. Then the two stopped to catch their breaths.
Shadow: Of course I'll stay with you.
Ur: Good to hear.
The two headed inside the house as their new life was just beginning.
Elsewhere, an airship was flying over the seas. Neo the dark guild was on his knees beaten and bloodied, a man stood over him with an angry look.
Hades: So let get this straight, you failed to retrieve the key I sent you and your men to find only to return empty handed?
Neo: Please Lord Hades, it wasn't my fault there was a boy there who overwhelmed us.
Hades grabbed Neo by the neck and picked him up off the ground choking.
Hades: A boy?
Neo: Yes I believe he was…..a dragon slayer.
Hades raised an eyebrow.
Hades: A dragon slayer? Are you sure of this?
Neo: Yes. I promise if you let me live I won't fail you again.
Hades looked at him with an unsure look. He dropped Neo to the ground and walked to his throne chair and sat down.
Hades: Fine I'll let you live Neo, but I expect you not to fail me again or there will be consequences.
Neo: Understood and thank you. But what is the key to that town?
Hades: Leave it be. I do believe they earned by defeating one of my strongest dark guilds. For now we will focus on locating the next key.
Neo: As you wish my lord.
Hades(in thought) This dragon slayer could be a problem, but I will wait to deal with this boy. And I look forward to meeting him…..personally.
