the doors to the tavern swung open. a man wearing a sugegasa coverd in snow from the snowy tundra walked in. he was covered in a fur coat. the whole room stopped and watched him move.
"give me a chicken soup"he said as he put a few coins on the table. once he sat down he took of his sugesasa and coat. as he did so the tavern stared at him, now everyone knew who he was. his spiky long hair was regonizable. one of the people sat next to him
"your ryuto aren't you"the girl asked"I'm lee, iv heard about you and how you help free a village form the kaibutsutachi"She said smiling as she looked a ryuto. she looked a little younger than ryuto, with black hair and wearing a coat"so what brings you to the Kōtta mountains"she asked
Ryuto drank his broth before whipping is mouth and answering"I'm looking for Aisu"
The whole room got silent as he said the word'Aisu'
"don't say that word here"lee whispered in his ear"Aisu has been nothing but trouble for these folf and the village of sumura"
"that's the point "ryuto said as smiled confidantly as he stood up , clearing his throat so that the whole tavern could hear"I've come to slay asiu the frost dragont of the Kōtta mountains and i will collect one of her teeth."
Instead of praising him the whole tavern burst into laughter
"this kid thinks he can beat Aisu"one may yelled"he's going to die"
"he's going to die confidant a least"one woman remarked.
Ryuto stormed out of the tavern , with lee following close behind
"dont listen to them your very strong "she said"maybe my grandpa can help you, he knows a lot about Aisu"
Ryuto looked at her"is your grand fathers name shire"
"yes it is, how do you know"
"my master told me to look for a man named Shira"
Lee opened the door to shira's house"I'm home grandpa"
Shira looked at lee then looked at ryuto and then Shira looked back at "who's this lee , your new boyfriend "
lee got vibily flustered and stutred"d-dont be silly grandpa I b-barely know him, he just a hero who saved a village but I don't like him like that maybe if hung out and got learned more about each other and-"
"I'm not here to date you granddaugter"ryuto said , making lee a little disappointed but relived"my master and lee told me that I could get cirtical information about Aisu from you"
Shira sipped his tea"Anyone who thinks they can kill aisu is delusional. I've been here since that dragon first came, many have tried killing, few make it alive."
"my master sent me on a quest and I will not fail"ryuto said
"well then you and your master are fools"he said
"you take that back"ryuto said ready to fight Shira, while lee was holding him back
"lee lit him go, let him prove to me that's he's not a fool"as lee let go ryuto threw a punch but Shira caught it . he then sweep kicked him causing shiro to go on the floor.
"congrats, you beat an elderly man"shira teased him
"so will you tell me the information"ryuto said helping Shira up
"your fire is bright"Shira said "you are worthy of this information."
Lee and ryuto sat down . Shira gave both a cup of tea as he told them them the infomation"around Fifty years ago this mountain isn't always frigid and cold. it was lush with crops everywhere.back in those days I was a young fisher man life was happy I had a wife and a son, lee's father till the day came. the clouds turn dark and snow came. it was normal for some snow to fall but not as much as that. then a ice dragon flew down from the clouds.it rampaged the mountain and turned it to a ice wasteland. many asked the imeperail army and kingdom to aid and get rid of the ice dragon,but those naive pricks refused, saying it wasn't there concern, so fisher man and farmers decided to fight it. but we lost many men and women including my wife. evey day after that we felt fearful , not knowing when the drago would escape. we need that drago Aisu because of its coldness, and no one has been able to find her cave"
Shira looked at the window only to see the night sky "its dark out, you shouldn't fight Aisu espically after your long journey, you may sleep here If you like"
Ryuto bowed"thank you very much shira"
Shira set ryutos bed and head for his own sleep.that night ryuto slept peacefully.untill screams filled the outside. Ryuto opened the door to find Aisu ,the ice cold dragon's blue body was easily spotted in the black night as it firred its frost breath across the villige, setting a thick layer of ice on anything it's breath touched
"damn it"Shira said coldly"Aisu is here"
"Nows my chance"Ryuto pulled out his katana and climbed up shira's house
"its dangerous ryuto"lee said "don't get killed"
"don't worry I live for danger"ryuto reached the top of shira's house and eyed the dragon intensely"hey Aisu"he said points his katana at her direction"time to die". he jumped of the building gracefully with a determined smirk on his face.he landed a thick deep wound on Aisu's knee and the flying dragon shrieked in pain as Ryuto landed back on the floor gracefully.Aisu then unleashed another of her ice breath attacks, leaving some villagers in prisons of ice, as the were trapped under thick layer of ice, including some of lee's leg.Ryuto jumped up to stab Aisu agai. he delivered another flesh piercing stab but not before being scratched by Aisus claws, ripping his coat and skin leaving blood in its wake
"damn she's strong"ryutos said laughing before looking a lee"could you pass me my other katana"he griped both katana and ran towards the ice blue dragon dodging each blast of ice"go to hell"he yelled. aiming for Aisu's brain but Ryutos eyes widen as he slipped on ice, causing it to ruin his momentum but while he didn kill the dragon.he did stab Aisus eyes.the mystic dragon flew up, delivering once last crazy and long Ice beam before flyign to the mountains. lee looked at ryutos, who was on his knees, katanas on the ground as he looked at the wound on his arms.
"ryuto are you okay"she asked worriedly
"No"he said holding one of Aisu's scales "I failed,I was supposed to kill Aisu and take one of his teeth but her ran away"
"you haven't failed"Shira walked to ryuto"you weakend the beast"He looked down to ryuto"I'm guessing youre master wants you to get a dragon tooth I so you can turn to a dragon at will"
"really "ryuto responded"I didn't know"
"but that scale,"Shira said"I can turn you to a dragon but only for a short amount of time"Ryuto gave him the scale"give me some time and I can unlock this scale's ability.in the mean time heal you wounds and take your time. returing to Shira's house Ryuto slumped onto the floor.Lee took ryutos coat and looked at the tears in it.she grabbed some sewing supplies and fixed the mends on ryutos coat
"this coat is very well made"lee remakred
"yeah a friend of mine made it for me"ryuto said.
Soon Shira came back with a necklace containing the dragon scale,
"here you go ryuto"Shira gave him then necklace"use it wisely"
"yes sir"ryuto said
"now follow me"shira said "there's someone I think can help you"249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbviUohE4P
lee and Ryuto followed Shira out of the village and to a frozen lake. there a girl with brown silky hair waited for them
"hi you must be ryuto I'm Heru"she said shaking his hand"I have to thank you for scaring Aisu away last night"249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ga845OMBT
"it was no problem"Ryuto said, flattered by her words, which made lee a little jealous.
"you certain have skills"Heru said"but Shira told me you can really move on ice"
"he has a point"ryuto said
Heru then got on the ice sliding on it gracefully"that's not a problem, Shira asked me if could help you."
Ryutos then followed after Heru on the ice but his moves where panicked and aggressive as if they were trying to gain control over the ice, but they failed and ryutos slipped.
"that's no way to move on ice"Heru said, helping ryuto up"your trying to fight the ice, you need to work with the ice"Ryuto observed how Heru' pushed the ice hive her shoes.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjsI8BnV5b
"I get it now"ryutos said he began sliding as gracefully as Heru while lee cheered him on
"now you go the hang of it"heru said laughing then her face turned serious "now try hitting me"
"uh ok , but just a warning it's going to hurt"ryuto rushed , his legs moving side to side as he came closer to Heru . he threw a punch but Heru grace fully dodged it
"I got you know"Ryuto kicked her , losing balance in the process , causing both of them to get on the floor luaghing
The two of trained more, by dusk the two of the were wore out there legs aching
"well I think you mastered ice maneuvering"she said getting of the frozen pond"see you three later"
As night set, lee shira and ryuto head to shelter, while a huge blizzard began to kick up.
