Two days later, the whole city of Buelion began to tremble, mobilize, workers and soldiers were training because everyone knew that the enemy did not let go, that he was still out there waiting for the right opportunity, that was the formal version, the formal version also concerned the fact that the Empress is looking for of an artifact but few knew what it was and what it could unleash with its discovery, despite all the danger, the people of Buelion were not afraid believing in an unknown visitor from another world, because it was he who once again saved everyone, defeated the terrible monster and now he was hidden in an unknown place, everyone felt that he would not leave anyone alone.

Meanwhile, in the city, in the central part where three large tents were erected, it was here that a council was taking place regarding actions regarding the coming days and what had happened in the swamps of Ulain.

- so you say that this newcomer. Said Szan-Ka-Ran twirling his black beard, leaning against the table and the large map of the Tunalos valley.

- Lucas Nowak. Said the blue dragoness Sisu sitting with her siblings and other dragons guardians of all known elements.

- it's Lucas, so he saved you all and once again, so you say that he will be our greatest asset, weapon, one-man army, advantage. Szan-Ka-Ran added before he was poked in the back and silver lamellar armor through his gold-haired daughter in a green dress.

- dad, stop it, no one talks about him like that, he's not a test here with a one-man army. Lana Wina said, setting her father upright.

- come on, it must be admitted that the powers he shows make him the perfect weapon, the perfect universal soldier. Nitor Hazin said, scratching his gray hair, his black robe wrinkling as well as his forehead.

- Just because he has such powers doesn't mean we have to look at him that way. Said disgusted Tong, closing the only working eye, hiding his hands behind the back of his fur armor.

- well, it doesn't matter, but we have a question, since the Empress won't budge and is looking for some artifact, why Lucas, if he's on our side, won't do anything about the Empress, why won't he hit her. Szan-Ka-Ran asked, looking at the map with the point where the city of Kunudun was once located.

- because he is a hero and he will never attack first. Said Raya, holding a stock hat in her hands, a gift from the bronze-laminated samurai sitting next to her whom she had once rejected.

- he won't attack first, but when the Empress decides to attack, he will surely come to our aid, I know, I'm sure, he will help all of us as well as me and Raya. Lao Bin said nodding his head and a black ponytail on the back of his head.

- if you are sure, then do we have reason to worry, since he will always come to our aid, but I'm still not sure, because why doesn't he come with us. Szan-Ka-Ran asked.

- I'm wondering about that too. Said Sisu bowing her head with visible sadness.

- maybe he's afraid of our gratitude, I know it sounds stupid, but I once heard stories about a noble man who never wanted anything for his actions. Flamus said as the red fiery dragon spoke reminiscing about the story from many years ago, all the while holding the purple-blue dragoness, his chosen one, by the left paw.

- maybe it is, maybe not, I don't think that's what's going on here, he wants to surprise our opponent, or maybe I don't know, but what he did for us, I don't think I'll ever be able to repay him. Amba said as her indigo mane quivered and her grip tightened, and this time her older green brother Pengu didn't respond other than with a sincere smile.

- he did a lot, he taught us something very important, but when will the Golden Dragon finally see the truth. Pengu said.

- speaking of the Golden Dragon, why does he do nothing, he should, and yet he does nothing. Szan-Ka-Ran asked, directing his questions to the two guards, a granite Gronus with navy blue spikes on his back and a blue-white Veran with white feathers instead of a mane.

- I guess Lucas is right, the Golden Dragon is not as smart as he looked, but he made many mistakes, too many. Verana said, pondering many things.

- his principles are actually worth nothing, but there is one thing I don't understand, something that is a real paradox here. Gronus said, looking intently at the map of the valley.

- just as you read this, what is this, something. Boun asked.

- that is, what is the great paradox here. Little Noi asked and Verana looked at a small child in a yellow outfit and a little bigger youth in a green tunic.

- and what united Flamus and Amba, what united you was initiated in the times when the world was ruled by the power of the written future, the Golden Dragon was so powerful that he easily created the future of us all so why did he allow something like forbidden love to connect the hearts of two dragons , contradictory elements, well, how if it is forbidden. She asked Verana, and her question pretty much covered up all the other issues that had been raised in this meeting.

- Gosh Verana, you gave us a stud, I have no idea. Gronus mused over everything.

- it's just that despite the power of the golden dragon there was always something that was never fully mastered, that's why the golden dragon made the rule given to what it couldn't master, and if that's the case then Lucas is really right, the golden dragon is stupid. Said Namaari, rising above the table, slamming her fists and the hilts of her brown vest against the table.

The words of the fierce warrior focused the eyes of everyone, dragon people, even standing next to the brown red millipede and the brown armadillo, while Lana Wina, who was listening to everything, suddenly got up from the table and looked at her city half in ruins.

- if that's the case, will it change anything today, the Empress will not give up and wait, soon she will do everything to reach her goal and we are not able to threaten her yet, maybe our dragon friends united are able to destroy enemy legionnaires but in front of the whole army you are not able to measure yourself, only him. Lana Wina said.

- I regret that he, Lucas, is not with us today. Lana Wina added, looking up at the sky, hoping that the savior of her people might show up today.

- I also regret, I do not understand why he is alone, somewhere, why. Said Sisu with obvious regret.

- Me too, oh, if he showed up here today, I wouldn't let him go. Namaari said and her words quickly changed the mood of the blue dragoness who looked at the black-haired warrior with a strange grimace.

- you wouldn't leave him alone, I mean, Namaari, tell me honestly, do you like him?. Asked Raya, Namaari responded with a soft giggle that made Sisu keep her eyes on her.

- you know Raya, that's not what it's about, come on, I have to say that Lucas is very cute.

- even very much, if you look at it that way, he is free. Lana Wina said, directing the blue dragoness's attention to herself.

- Daughter, don't tell me that you finally found the one. Szan-Ka-Ran said with a smile.

- no dad, I don't think so, I don't know, maybe if I got to know him better, maybe something would be born, but for now, chi chi. Lana Wina laughed.

- maybe it's good that he stayed somewhere because today he would have had a headache. Said Sisu suddenly walking away from the table and releasing the meeting to see the Nolan River and Gan-Ju forests again.

- Weird, I've never seen her like this before, what bit her. Amba asked.

- it's hard to say, maybe the case of the newcomer is sensitive for her, but why. Namaari said, and her words suddenly triggered some obvious conclusions in the head of the green dragon.

- if she?. Pengu whispered.

- hey Pengu what happened, what are you whispering like that, I heard, I saw what's going on and don't lie to me, I can see a bluff. Little Noi said as she approached the green dragon fleeing from her eyes.

- this, I wonder if the enemy already knows where the last part of the blade is because if so it will only get worse. Said Pengu and his fear not of the blade itself, and yet fear was the best element of escape today, and the black-haired schemer listening to him also felt fear and looked at the other dragons.

- that's what's going to happen then. Little Noi asked as the other dragons, Gronus and Verana, looked up at the sky, and Flamus and Amba tightened a tighter grip on their paws.

- then someone will reach for the great power of the Nameless One, great enough to defeat the Golden Dragon with ease. Flamus said, tightening his grip on Ambo's left paw.

- then only Lucas will be able to take on the wielder of the Nameless Blade, if that's not enough. Amba said.

- in that case, again everything depends not on us but on our enemies and a friend who is hiding somewhere out there. Szan-Ka-Ran said getting up from the table and ending the meeting.

When everyone started to disperse Namaari went to the south where the soldiers were practicing, her intense gaze focused only on the swords held in her hands, she didn't even notice Raya and Lao Bin walking beside her, accompanied by Tong who followed her.

- Namaari and you still can't stop thinking about her, after all you saw how Lucas punished her, first defeated her and then saved her. Raya said.

- as Lucas said, something like this hurts more than a thousand blades in the back. Lao Bin said.

- maybe this is the perfect opportunity to actually let go, maybe. Tong said.

- I know how it works, I've seen the assassin fail, I've seen Pelona disgraced by failure and pity, Lucas was right about it, but I want to be prepared for the future. Said Namaari as she stepped into the center of the engraved circle, starting her combat practice.

- if that's how you treat it today, so be it, but remember you can't think about revenge all the time because it will weaken you, remember the words of Lucas, he said that you must not let yourself be taken over by it. Raya said as she sat down on the ground in front of the circle with Lao Bin and Tong looking at the fighting warrior.

Namaari tried not to think, not to fall into rage, she tried to fight in the peace and quiet of her own mind, but sometimes her step was erratic, her punches seemed to lose their momentum, and her quick swings were sometimes too strong, which caused her to lose her balance on the next one After such blows, Namaari made a great turn and her two swords hit the steel stick held by the masked man.

Namaari, seeing the opponent in the hood with his face covered, immediately regained control and started to fight, thinking that he was fighting with an opponent, while her opponent in a gray robe, avoiding two blades, twisted quick turns on his toes and heels at the last turn, doing a back flip and standing confidently on equal gods losing confidence or balance in any movement.

- who is he, wait, who. Raya asked in surprise, looking wide-eyed at the attacker from nowhere.

- Maybe it's an instructor. Tong said.

- or maybe a one-shot killer. Said Lao Bin trying to get up but Raya stopped him.

- wait, let's wait a minute, this could be interesting, I doubt it's a killer or something like that, maybe it's, you know who. Said Raya, looking with wide eyes at the duel between Namaari and the stranger.

Namaari, seeing another failure of her punches, started to hit with more force and her angry grimace on her face showed what she was thinking and how easily she succumbs to negative emotions today, Namaari started to hit like crazy with fast and strong blows, from a firm and right, hitting from above and with a quick thrust, but each time her blows were deflected on the steel bar and the stranger doing quick half-turns.

The stranger, jumping every third hit, was constantly moving backwards and his rod was wandering between the head, chest and legs, deflecting each of the blows himself, never striking, never fighting, never going on the offensive, instead the stranger kept working with his feet, bouncing off the ground in a truly dance way which of course made the fighting Namaari start hitting him with even more force because the stranger's stride reminded her too much of Pelona fighting him.

- don't let yourself be overcome by your own hatred, it will destroy you. The stranger said in a strange muffled voice.

- stick your advice in your ear, you hear!. Namaari screamed, striking incoherently from one direction, and her blows knocked the opponent off balance for the first time, as the feet began to hit the ground and the stranger began to fall.

- she will kill him. Tong said getting up from the ground.

But when Namaari, on the verge of her own anger, was about to strike, the stranger took advantage of the loss of balance for a sudden surprise attack, first the stranger hit the pelvis and spun in a circle, deflecting both Namaari's swords and pushing her back three cocas, and when the stranger got up his steps were unsteady and strangely, the stranger stumbled over his own legs, losing his balance again, but what happened next surprised everyone because the stranger, falling to his knees, made another quick turn hitting two swords with all his strength, knocking out Namaari's only weapon, and when the stranger got up, making a quick turn, he pushed steel rod that missed Namaari's head by a few centimeters until everything suddenly stopped in time.

The mysterious stranger stepped away from the surprised warrior and then took off the hood from his head, followed by the gray fabric from his face, and at the very end his gray robe revealed the truth that surprised everyone, surprised as well as pleased.

- Lucas, it's you! I knew something was wrong here. Said Raya looking at the visitor from another world, as always dressed in a blue shirt with geometric elements and black pants with brown shoes.

- boy, you surprised us, I didn't think you'd show up today and here. Lao Bin said, shaking hands with a brunette from another world.

- You know how you surprised me, but why?. Tong asked.

- just for what, the question should be why I kept my distance from you for so long instead of walking with you. Lucas said.

- well, for what. Namaari asked, focusing all her attention not on the swords but on the newcomer.

- at first I kept my distance because I wanted to test the enemy, our common enemy, then I did research until I realized that the enemy is capable of anything, so it's better if I keep an eye on you personally, besides, I didn't want you to be afraid of me as well. Lucas said.

- to be afraid of you, you must be crazy, I mean, you have your powers and everything that can wipe us off the face of the earth, but I know that you are not our enemy, mine. Said Namaari leaning towards Lucas.

- thank you, and now maybe we'll train a bit because from what I heard you wanted me to train you. Lucas said as the wind cleared everyone and Namaari saw her two swords being held by their new friend.

- Yes, yes!, I would like to learn from you, master. Said Namaari taking back her two swords.

- I'm nobody's master, and as for my talents, I also gained them along with powers, I don't know how it's possible, but probably teleportation gave me a lot of powers and talents, including those from movies, books and comics, what was once fiction today comes true in front of my eyes but to the point, I will show you many tricks on how to defeat not only Pelon, but most of all yourself. Lucas said, stepping back and raising his right hand to the side with a harmless steel rod without a blade.

- so teach, show me how to defeat her. Said Namaari watching every move and listening to every word of her new teacher and with the first lesson many soldiers and workers seeing the newcomer began to gather on the eastern part of the ruins of the city with curiosity watching the upcoming duel.

- firstly, never hate your opponent because hate and fear go together look come fear is the beginning of hate, good and bad as well as lies, remember how I fought with Pelona, I felt sorry for her and still regret when she sees her own fear will defeat her but you must reject your fear and then surprise her with what I'm going to show you today, because losing balance is another step to perfection, you don't have to fight on your feet, fight and do turns on your knees and more, you can join too . Lucas said, and Raya, who was standing to the side, approached Namaari, drawing her golden-hilted sword, Lao Bin quickly joined her, drawing his katana, and at the very end, Tong appeared grabbing his great axe.

- are you ready?. Lucas asked.

- of course. Raya said.

- always. Tong said, pressing hard on the ax hilt.

- student. Said Namaari, holding her two swords not so tightly by the hilt now, firmly enough but with grace and fluidity.

- Lucas, are you sure we won't hurt you?. Lao Bin asked.

- of course not, your weapons won't hurt me, I can do more damage because your weapons can break, so let's do it, watch and learn. Lucas said and the four opponents launched a series of attacks from four directions.

In the meantime, Pengu walking near the river with his sister Sisu stared not at the flowing water but at two dragons very much in love with each other, Amba was just swimming by the river bank and Flamus was running on the other side on the hard and dry earth of the rebuilt port, and their joy made practically everyone feel better, not only him, but everyone they encountered.

- you know what Sisu, but I was a fool, I thought that what was born in our sister's heart is bad. Pengu said.

- you know, everyone would think so, the Golden Dragon and its sacred laws and rules, what could be done here, but I was never against it, you know. Said Sisu looking with her violet eyes at the two racing dragons, the red fire dragon and the violet blue water dragoness, the two conflicting elemental dragons running and swimming close to each other to finally meet in the full sun at the edge of the port constantly staring into each other's eyes.

- all your luck and theirs that Lucas stood up for this couple, but as for the others, I don't know if the Golden Dragon will ever let go. Verana, who landed, said, quivering the white feathers on her back.

- and remember his threat, I didn't think something like Hybrid could exist, I did. Gronus said as he followed the three dragons.

- actually, it's unknown, but since we're talking about it, our tribes can produce hybrids, a dragon that has the power of two elements, for example, it can be a dragon of air and fire at the same time, if the Golden Dragon talked about it, there must be something to it. Said Sisu and her brother suddenly turned strangely pale and stuttered.

- Pengu?, did you happen?. Sisu asked.

- nothing, I'm just wondering, it's probably not impossible for a hybrid to arise. Pengu said, pretending to be a skeptic.

- but since the Golden Dragon spoke about it, why should we not believe it, maybe something like this appeared in our history, only he erased this knowledge from the pages of history. Gronus said.

- maybe anyway, it's not important today, we have more important problems on our minds, wait a minute, what are they all running south like that. Pengu asked as he saw some of the workers and all the soldiers suddenly rushing south where the fighting was going on.

- maybe something happened there. Sisu said.

- Lucas is there. shouted Boun running to the six dragons.

- That's Lucas, he's fighting with our friends. Little Noi said.

- how, he went crazy!. Pengu shouted.

- No, not that, definitely not that. said the approaching Flamus.

- of course not that, he's just training them, you know, Namaari, Raya, Lao Bin and Tong themselves wanted, come on, come on?. Boun said as Sisu suddenly passed him running over the soldiers' heads.

After a while, Sisu and all dragons and people ran to the place where Lucas was fighting between four opponents, all the time saying something, as it turned out, giving simple instructions, Sisu stopped between the chief and his blonde daughter who poked the blue dragoness.

- see it him, Lucas, man he's really cute. Lana Wina said, and Sisu, who was listening to her, suddenly rattled looking out of the corner of her eye at the golden-haired princess, then watched the fight between the newcomer and her friends again.

The training fight lasted for a good five minutes and despite the short duration, all four fighters were breathing hard and their movements were slower with each blow, it was different with the newcomer rushing between them.

In fact, Lucas could have ended the fight at any time, but he prolonged the fight to the limit of his opponents to show them his moves, sometimes strange because he walked like an intoxicated man, which resulted in his opponents losing their vigilance, which ended with a quick bar strike over the heads of four opponents, sometimes his moves were truly danceable, which trained only Namaari remembering the fight with the assassin, and also put the others into a state of stupor and last movements when he lost his balance, which was to end just now, by the way, showing smooth, quick hand movements and shifting weapons from right to left hand and from left to the right.

Lucas made a quick turn on his knees, hitting the samurai's katana twice, first hitting the drill spike and finally hitting the hilt, which effectively deprived the samurai of his weapon, Lao Bin could close his eyes as the steel rod flew in front of his nose and he sat on the ground.

Lucas, making a quick turn, walked incoherently with a strange gait to surprise first hit the blade held by Raya, to throw it high, make a turn, grab the rod and make a turn with a blow that could end on the head. but instead the quick thrust landed only on the hilt of the sword she was holding, surprised Raya made a half turn watching her body do a limp left turn and she collapsed on the ground next to Lao Bin.

Lucas directing more punches at the large eyepatch opponent, Lucas started jumping as if in a rhythmic dance which ended with a quick triple thrust hitting the blocking ax blow as Tong stopped three thrusts. with his foot to knock the great ax out of his hand, when Tong lost his weapon he looked up in surprise at his ax wandering in the air and falling straight into the newcomer's left hand and Tong sat down on the ground and Lucas hit the ax hard, driving it deep into the ground.

When Namaari was left alone on the battlefield, Lucas again gave her more advice.

- remember, do not be overcome by anger and hatred. Lucas said, bending his right hand and his whole body.

- I like you so don't worry about it. said Namaari holding two balanced swords and then she cut into the fight striking quickly, nimbly taking measured and sometimes completely incoherent steps landing again and again on her knees, doing what Lucas taught her.

Lucas smiled and went in on his own, jumping back and constantly deflecting his opponent's attack to make her frustrated, but this time it wasn't as Lucas did three spins, backing constantly backwards in a circle. Namaari smirked as she chased her enemy until suddenly she stopped in place and waited for Lucas this time.

Namaari took a similar pose leaning slightly and Lucas stood right side to her, walking confidently and doing something no one was ready for when Nalaari prepared her own trap, Namaari started to strike from two directions trying to stab and her swords like a hurricane hit from every direction but this time, Lucas, making turns, becoming right side and left side, leaned out from the next blow and the spinning blade, each time watching the fight people, dragons and various creatures such as Krun Win and Tuk Tuk stared at the picture of the fight until everything started even more speed up.

Lucas, standing to Namaari with his left side, grabbed the rod with his left hand as well and when he turned with his right hand, he hit two swords twice and his quick reaction like a professional swordsman pushed his right hand grabbing the rod forward, the rod passed Namaari's head again and when the first shock flickered past her eyes Lucas spun again stepping through her and knocking both right and left swords off as Lucas stopped he turned back and thrust the rod behind him trapping him on the brown vest under his left armpit, Namaari struck not with a blade or blunt weapon but with shock she also slid off her feet, but not behind her, but in front of her straight into the hands of the rapidly spinning Lucas.

- wow, that was something, wow. Said Namaari lying on the newcomer and looking into his blue eyes.

- you were great, today you are ready to face Pelona, and remember, you must feel sorry for her. Lucas said, holding the female warrior lying on him in his hands.

- if it doesn't take too long. Said Sisu slightly gnashing her teeth.

- It's okay, Namaari. Lucas asked, rising from the ground and helping the almost limp opponent to his feet.

- the stitch is fine, tell me if you have a girlfriend. Namaari asked, shocking many and perhaps the most staring Sisu.

- No, not really, in my world my heart never chose. Lucas said, slightly flustered by the whole situation, everything was interrupted by Sisu, fortunately, coming between him and Namaari.

- Why don't you stop hugging and let's get down to business." Said Sisu while staring angrily at Namari.

- jealous. Namaari said winking at the newcomer.

- what!, no!, me!, we have important matters today, surely our friend has a lot to tell us. Said Sisu with all her might trying not to make her cheeks blush.

- and yet. Namaari whispered and then stepped back to the whispering Raya and Lao Bin. Szan-Ka-Ran quickly took over the initiative and was finally able to talk to the newcomer from another world.

- Newcomer, I mean Lucas. Szan-Ka-Ran said.

- Lucas Nowak, at your service. Lucas said bowing his head.

- yes, then we can talk, I, thank you for coming in person and this. Said Szan-Ka-Ran himself not knowing where to begin.

- first of all, from today I am here with you, from today I will personally supervise and train you, I can also teach you a few things, but there will be time for that, first the Empress and her first attack which I thwarted the day before. Lucas said shocking everyone in the practice yard.

- She was planning an attack!. Lana Wina screamed terrified, grabbing Lucas by his blue shirt, which also did not escape the attention of the furious Sisu and thus Namaari watching her.

- and they were very close. Little Noi asked.

- how close. Nitor Hazin asked.

- where. Boun asked.

- here in the forests of Gan-Ju, they planned to storm the city, there were a thousand of them but I calmly burned them out and destroyed them before they entered the forest, sometimes I have to do something more to confuse reasoning and it certainly gave them a lot to think about. Lucas said.

- so what now, you want to hit the city of steel, really. She asked Raya but her question was already answered by Lucas shaking his head.

- no, I will not do it until the Empress herself attacks, that was to break their thinking, let them think, let them believe in illusions, but I will never attack them myself, never again. Lucas said.

- If that's the case, all we can do is wait. Amba said as she approached the newcomer.

- and thank you for everything you've done for us. Flamus said as he, Amba, Szan-ka-Ran, Lana Wina, Raya and Lao Bin along with everyone came closer and bowed their heads.

- you don't have to, if you want to do something for me, be happy, choose free, don't be afraid and don't forget about being children, just like my teacher told me, remember because it's also important and don't be afraid, don't be afraid to fight for yours for truth, life and love. Lucas said and his last words made Sisu nice to gather her courage and do something very crazy but everything was interrupted again by Namaari.

- then help us, teach us today because the day is long. Said Namaari picking up the swords from the ground ready for further training.

- so let's get to work. Said Lucas smiling at Namaari and everyone to take one last look at Sisu and her big eyes, it was a moment when Lucas no longer felt anything, sadness, regret or anything but something that chooses itself until everything started rushing again when in his mind The glare of the blade reflected in his eyes.

L

As it turned out, destiny and fate, come as powerful as the Golden Dragon himself, had no power over all because there was always something that rebelled against this power, and that was forbidden love, and that's what connected two hearts, two opposite elements, Flamus and Amba, but is it possible for such a relationship to result in a dragon wielding two elements, there is something else in all this, a naive, funny rivalry.
