Identical Yet Unidentical
Last Chapter review
The silver dragon turned her head to him, baring her fangs at him. Out of the blue, she charged, ready to make her snack for the evening meal. Cloud closed his eyes ready for the incoming attack. Vincent, Nanaki and Cait Sith can only lied on the ground and saw the monster swallows their friend.
There was silent...

Enigma II- The Legendary White Serpent
There was a long silent as Vincent watched the dragon froze up when its jaws about to slam close around Cloud. Now the dragoness won't move a muscle as its jaws were wide open showing the sharp teeth in its mouth and its eyes were showing how shock she was now.
Slowly, the dragoness back away, closing her jaws in progress and moved her snout close to the blonde and tested his scent. Everyone was surprised by the behavior of the dragoness. One minute she was attacking them and the next minute she was detecting a person's scent.
The group watched as the dragoness slowly examined Cloud, feared that she might attack again. Strangely she didn't instead she started rubbing her cheek with Cloud's. "What's this?" Nanaki asked in disbelieve. Dragon was not supposed to act friendly to human or other as far as they know and yet this dragoness...
'Finally. I finally found you.' A soft female voice rang through their minds. "Huh? Who's talking?" Even Cait Sith can heard it. The voice spoke again. 'Thank Gaia. Thanks for letting me find him.'
Cloud decided to try, "Are you the one talking telepathy to us?" He asked the purring dragoness. The silver-furred reptile backed away and looked at them, 'Yes. It is me.'

'You want one of my eggs? What for?' The dragoness asked. "A client wanted it because he wanted to sell it for a high price." Nanaki explained for her. 'But the eggs are fake. It's only a legend I spread so that I could find you and keep people away.' The dragoness said. "Fake? What do you mean?" Vincent asked.
'The eggs belong to a monster called Black Salamander. Its eggs are white so I took some because I don't breed.' She said pointing to the white eggs. "Then, we're here for nothing?" Asked Cait Sith. 'If you want it that badly, you can have this.' The silver dragoness picked up one of the eggs and placed it on the ground before them. "What are you doing?"
The dragoness looked at them and said, 'That is an egg of the Crimson Tree Snake. It is almost as same as the legend I spread. Breed among its own kind and lay eggs once in fifty years.' She showed a smile that only dragon could do. 'You can have it under one condition. Take me with you.'
That was a shocking news. Condition, yes. Everything needs an exchange but to take a dragon home. They weren't sure that the place was large enough to fit a dragon as large as a Marshfield Viper. And normal people feared monsters like her. "Are you sure about that?" Nanaki asked.
'Yes. I've been waiting in here for more than half a decade. It is time for me to go. Don't worry about my size and the people. I can deal with them.' She said. "Oh boy, everyone we know is going to have a heart attack surprise." Cloud mumbled with his head in his hands. "Fine. We'll do it."

"So, you're telling me that this creature is going home with us?" Cid almost fainted seeing the large dragon that was following Cloud when they exited the forest. "Yes. She makes us a deal for giving one of the eggs." Cloud explained. 'And my name is Gin no Namida.' The dragon snorted.
"Anyway, Cloud. The others are going to freak out when they saw it. Especially Barret." Cid sighed as he started the airship and flew towards home with a large dragon flying beside them gracefully.
