Chapter 18

A voice rang through the darkness. It startled me so much that I almost lost my hold on the dragon. Moonlight glinted off of something, and I made out the form of a young man darting through the forest. Energy blasted at me through the link to the dragon, and I had to pull every shred of my strength to hold on.

“Let go,” the young man said. “This is my tame. I’ve been tracking this beast for days.”

“He’s been calling me,” I growled, battling to maintain my hold.

“That makes two of us.”

“I have to tame this dragon!” I shouted. “Everything depends on it.”

“I need a night dragon in my menagerie.”

Energy crackled through the air and vibrated up my arms.

“I can only be tamed by the strongest of summoners,” the dragon growled, as if enjoying the competition.

“I was here first,” I yelled.

“You haven’t tamed him yet. He’s fair game.” There was another rush of energy up my arm, and I gritted my teeth as I tried to maintain a hold.

“Why are you doing this? I was sent here by Serious himself.”

“I don’t belong to the League,” the man said. “I’m a free agent. I do whatever I want.”

“I won’t let you take my dragon.”

“You’re going to have to prove you’re strong enough to best him and me.”

“Then that’s what I’ll do.” I growled through my teeth and pulled down my goggles. I lifted my other hand and forced my will out through my other palm.

I thought about the day that we were forced out of Sho’kin Forest. I held Pappi’s hand as we walked away from our ancestral home. “We’ll be back someday, Pappi,” I’d said, looking over my shoulder.

The strength of my resolve built up within me and burst out through my palms. Energy sparked all around. The intruder flew back out of the moonlight and into the forest, and the dragon howled as he shifted into an ethereal form then wafted through the moonlight toward my open palm. I had seen the form that Serious’s dragons took—like smoke and air. That is what the dragon looked like as it coiled around my arm and neck.

“Well done, summoner,” he said before landing in front of me and coming to his full size in his solid form.

“I am Mythril, a night dragon. And I am happy to serve.”

“You gave me quite the battle,” I said, wiping the sweat from my brow.

“I would only be tamed by the strongest summoner. And you have proved your worth.”

“I never would have believed it,” the man said, walking out of the shadows of the forest and into the glow of the triple moonlight.

He was a Sho’kin, maybe a few years older than me.

“Why would you do that?” I asked him. “That was so rude.”

“Like the dragon said, he would only be tamed by the strongest summoner. And I had my doubts that a total novice would be up to the task of obtaining a night dragon. Perhaps a fledgling, but not someone like Mythril here.
