Hi Everyone!

It's been awhile since I've updated! So I decided to update this story again! Thanks for all the reviews, favorites, and follows! On with the story!

Part 2 Chapter 5: Take to the Sky! Sky Maidens soar!

Era wasn't sure how she could hold up.

The sky dragoness was really giving her a run for her money. All her attacks were on point, making her wince in pain. She couldn't understand, she had trained harder than the little girl.

Flashback…

"Era you must remember your training!"

Young Era looked up at the mysterious shadow. Her face was already cut up in various places and she looked very weaken. Tenkuu and Minami watched her train, their little eyes not looking away from her. Chimaru leaned against the trees, watching her.

"Master, why can't I seem to hit you? You move so fast for a shadow!" Tiny Era said, shifting the winds a bit.

"The difference between you and me, my dear, is that I have total control of my power. While you have no control at all, I have years of experience."

Era squinted her eyes before lunging again. She gathered the wind in her palms and pushed it forward.

"AIRSPACE: THRUSTING PALM!" She pushed the wind forward and blasted the shadow backwards.

"Wow! Era onee-san is very powerful!" Manami said, seeing the powerful attack.

"She could easily be the most powerful one of all of us!" Tenkuu exclaimed.

Chimaru raised an eyebrow at this. Surely she could be the most powerful one out of all of them.

"I'll have to give you credit young dragoness. I didn't expect you to be a formidable foe." Era commented, both of them not losing their gaze.

"Um...thank you? You shouldn't underestimate someone just because they don't look like it." Wendy said.

"Then it's time to kick it up a notch! AIRSPACE: HOWLING TORNADO!"

The breeze around them grew more powerful as it gathered into a strong funnel cloud. Wendy covered her face, the winds easily could be a gale force 5! She opened her mouth and tried to suck in all the air.

"Foolish girl! No matter how much you try, my howling tornado will continue to blow, not even you sky dragon magic can defeat it!"

"I won't give up! Natsu-san and Seika-san are counting on me!"

"Why do you continue to fight even if it is futile?"

"Don't you have something to fight for? Don't you have a family to protect?"

Era's eyes widen at that. Did she have someone she wanted to protect? She blinked for a second, thinking about why she fought.

"Wendy this is your chance! Attack her now!" Carla shouted.

"Okay! SKY DRAGON'S ROAR!"

The attack swirled around Era as she screamed. Her pale eyes changed back to their original blue for the first time in years. Her mind flooded with memories of the past.

"Era you must flee! It isn't safe here!"

Young Era looked at the pale blue eyes of her guardian. The winds of the mountains were blowing fast as the war around them raged. The dragons had finally invaded her hometown and everyone around her was fighting.

"But...I can help! Please let me help!" She pleaded. Her guardian shook her head.

"No you must run away. If you die, there will be no one left to save our legacy, We, the people of the sky, must continue to soar," The guardian turned to see more villagers donning armor to attack the dragons. "Our only hope left is for you to search for the FIrebird Princess. Only she can restore hope and peace among our nation."

Is the girl...Seika...is she the chosen one I'm looking for? Era thought, her body giving way, She heard Wendy yelp as she tried to catch her. Her vision blurred and the world went dark.

Happy New Years guys! Sorry for the short chapter, the next one will be longer. So as always, please review, favorite, and follow! Have a nice day!
