Dragonheart Part 13
#14 of Dragonheart Part 0-28
A sky filled with fireworks, thousands of members of different races and job classes, a huge market and a huge arena just waiting to take place in their battles. All that was known throughout the country as a festival: the Star Festival. As Luso and Bertram entered the capital Herena they came just at the right time.
"But here is something going on." He said in amazement. "That's nothing! Wait, then go to the fights here what's going on!" Luso said joyfully. He would have participated in the tournament when he had to do something different, namely members find for the clan. Everywhere was full of strong fighters, powerful magicians and others who want to put their skills to the test. By afternoon, all found in the large arena, built in the center of the city to witness the beginning and the speech of the king.
Up to the last standing and sitting room filled all of the expected arrival of the king.
Then finally the doors opened on one side of the arena, and both the king and queen and the judge entered the field. From all sides of the grandstand could hear the cheering, which the king visibly enjoyed. "It's nice if the people be able to receive their king." Was all he said and walked into the pulpit. During the welcome speech by the king asked Bertram Luso why the king was a sergal.
"During the war, the entire royal family, which consisted of one human family was wiped out completely. Therefore, the strongest general, crowned at the time also called sergal Uen Revol new king, since our country is governed, like the continent of North sergal. "Since all is said and to begin the battle for the title of best fighter or mage of the country", declared the king to the following cheers could be heard throughout the city.
Might countless battles, be they human or animal, magician or warrior, they all gave everything to win: And then they began. Towards evening there were already thirty battles that were to be seen. Thus the first day of the festival to an end and the arena had been deserted.
Instead, the party went on in the streets. The people danced, drank, ate, or just talking. "How often were you actually on the Star Festival, Luso?" Bertram asked when this candied apple with one walking beside him. "Five times." He replied. "So many times?" "This is the biggest festival in the country. In addition, you will find so many loose clan you would have only to stretch out the hand and you would have one already. "
Luso was then suddenly seized with a girl and dragged to the place. There, everyone began to dance, and oddly enough, Luso is made ??pretty well. Bertram was only bite of his apple off and looked at him to dance. "And I've always thought mages were jammed philistines." He thought to himself. So they spent the next few hours more, until they were dog-tired only one in the hostel where the rooms were still free. Exhausted and with a growling stomach Luso threw himself into his bed.
"I hate dancing!" He complained loudly. "But you can dance well but I must say." Said Bertram, in contrast to Luso was still awake. "Thou hast beaten even the belly." Wailed on Luso. Bertram is not denied this, but while he spoke Luso already asleep. A little later he also fell asleep while the dance went still. The next morning the two woke up and found that the arena was already open.
Without waiting a long time the two have rushed through the crowd in the arena to have a seat. Fortunately for her, she still got what went on before the tournament. Was it yesterday, for the most part the fighters who put their skills to the test today, it was now the magicians of which two were very much more attention.
When open the two doors and they entered the field, broke out on two sides of the arena a wild cheer mixed with a wild shriek. "What's going on here?" Said Bertram what Luso looked at him only frightened. "Where do you live? Do you recognize the two down there? "Luso asked him. "It's a miracle that I know up here is anyone." Thought of this again and brought to the Luso sighed.
"That down there are Hiita Dragonil and Natsu,. By far the most dangerous fire mage in the country," he said Bertram. ". And over there on the left side are the Hiita and on the other hand, the fans Natsu" He was right: on the one side of the arena was heard loud Hiitas name, while on the other side Natsus name was shouted.
When the two are then faced Bertram could they finally wise up: Hiita had shoulder-length, jagged red hair, wearing a black shirt, a brown hooded jacket over it because a black leather miniskirt and knee-high black boots. Natsu had spiky blood red hair, a black shirt with a flame pattern was shown a red bathing suit with black floral pattern and black sandals.
"Right here we go." Luso only meant waiting.
"Shall we begin, little brother?" Shouted across to Hiita Natsu, who was visibly annoyed. "You must tell me twice, you old witch!" He yelled back and before you knew it, the two rushed toward each other. Just before the two met, they sparked in her fists a blazing fire with which they met each other unabated.
Then she jumped away from each other and Natsu made ??ready to attack. These he pounded his fist on the ground, whereupon the flames shooting out of the ground and shaped into a dragon. Hiita looked at the dragon and only spat on the ground. "Boring." She said. "'s Done Yet?" Said Bertram bored. "Believe me, this is even better." Luso just said.
Hiita raised his hands, let out a short and ran toward Natsu. This just jumped up and sparked a kind of dragon breath that fell on them like a tidal wave. Startled, she threw herself on the floor, rolled onto his back and it set itself a hint that the seemingly had grown from Natsu. The two waves of flame relentlessly pressed against each other until the two eventually gave way at the same time.
Hiita stood up, exhaled and shook himself with a quick shake of the head hair from her face. Then she breathed again, and a flaming fox appeared beside her. "Now it gets exciting." Luso just said. In the ensuing minutes, the two seemed to fire mages were involved in a violent melee, grown in each of the others.
Either a punch or a kick was blocked, or it has been evaded. Eventually the two sparked so many flames that these assumptions, the shape of a dragon and a fox and piled higher and higher until it was a huge fire tornado. All viewers saw on this curious spectacle of magic as Natsu and Hiita in a bitter internal struggle delivered.
"Dragon Flame", screamed and threw his fist Natsu small fireballs at Hiita. "Fox fire", shouted and threw Hiita also with flames after Natsu. These were dashed as they clashed and sparked even more flames. "This is a single firework in there!" Said Bertram, but Luso was much too busy to follow the battle than to answer him.
At some point he just said Bertram should look up what he did. He could not believe his eyes: a fox and a dragon fighting at the top of the tornado as violently as Natsu and Hiita inside the tornado, where the temperatures would be unbearable for normal people, but not for them. "Flametongue" shouted Hiita, stretched out her tongue and spits a thin, but all the hotter beam Natsu who just pointed over his shoulder.
"Besides." He said, laughing. Nevertheless Hiita grinned at the same time as the small burn on his shoulder began to burn unbearable. "Never underestimate the fire," she cried, and just threw both arms behind him and bent it forward.
The flames were piling up behind her until she threw them all at once to the front. Although Natsu his arms protectively threw himself he could not withstand the flames from the tornado and was shot directly into the auditorium. Lying there, he could not stand a moment longer, until he saw how it would Hiita with a view of the statements that she has already won at her.
In pain, he got up, snorted and jumped down to the field. "Los Natsu they do it!" Bertram cried suddenly. Luso looked over at him and realized, as Bertram was standing there screaming. Natsu jumped, it sparked new flames and attacked Hiita. Now she was forced to fend off much to the delight of fans and Natsu Bertram.
When he then beat his fists on the arms of Hiita he pushed himself away from her and breathed the flames around him ein.Mit eyed Hiita made ??a few steps back and threw her arms behind her back.
The flames emanating from them previously and were formed into a tornado now turned into a fox and a dragon that towered behind them. Also collected the flames of the dragon in his mouth while the fox in his paws gathered the flames. With burning eyes saw the two of them ran up and then release the magic.
"Fox inferno," shouted Hiita. "Dragon's inferno," shouted Natsu. When the flames were chattering, was such a huge explosion that all magicians who sat in the audience had to pronounce a protective spell, so that they and the rest of the audience are not violated. The sky turned red over Herena and you could only see how two huge mountains flames struck against each other and it was so hot for a moment that you would think they would directly face the sun.
Minutes later smoked the sky and the two magicians fell exhausted to the ground. Natsus shirt was completely burned in the flames, as well as Hiitas jacket and the lower part of its upper part.
Stood there with my mouth open Bertram, like the rest of the audience, except for Luso, the only "It looks like a real fight," shouted. "Are you crazy? The two could be dead, "cried Bertram him seconds later, but Luso remained behind. "The two are fire mages,. For this is nothing," he said, and indeed only Hiita and Natsu stood back a little later on. Initially took another staggering two feet again and looked at each other.
"You're getting better, little brother." Hiita noted. "And you're just like before, sis." Natsu said, laughing. Although the two distributed over the whole body had minor burns, it looked as though they would not interfere. "Fire mages are like wild animals." Bertram said, trembling. Just a few seconds he thought the two would fight only with minor spells but after he saw the inferno could he forget everything he knew about magicians.
"Wild animals? You've probably never seen a real magician or? "Luso asked puzzled him. When the two going off together again one could remember that the fight would soon be over. First they beat their heads against each other so much that everyone else was bleeding immediately, but these remained strong.
Without hesitation, her brother Hiita missed an uppercut, which was not to be despised. Natsu shot a few inches into the air, uttered a short cry of pain. Then began his fists to burn, so he Hiita distracted for a moment. This moment, he immediately took to get back to land on the ground and beat her with both fists in the stomach.
Hiita slipped back what Natsu immediately took to his breath to release it. When he then zuschoss on Hiita, she threw up her head and raised his Hände.Sofort appeared a red circle in front of her and she cried: "Fire Seal" The flames shot one on the circle, causing it began to spin. The flames were shooting with, and disappeared shortly thereafter.
The startled Natsu gathered again but Hiita was faster. With a short lay on the floor began to burn the entire floor. "Burning carpet." She said and started running. On the burning ground she moved incredibly fast and was too hard to track even with the eyes, blurred because the heat all lies.
Natsu also had trouble seeing it even though he was a fire mage. When she suddenly stood before him with hands thrown back, it was already too late to get to safety. "Burning fists." She said simply, Natsu struck in the stomach and unleashed a huge explosion. All in Arena startled when they saw towered like a flaming fox and then disappeared again. Natsu disappeared with his upper body was burnt with thumb and two visible marks before Hiita.
"Shit." He said, and just fell backwards. A moment later, the audience broke out cheering, as Hiita turned and waved to the crowd laughing. "Nice try ... but I'm still better than you," she said, only to Natsu and stuck his tongue out at it. This was just moaning in pain on the ground and could not utter a word.
But then Hiita grabbed his arm and helped him. "And now again a big round of applause for my brother, or it pops!" She threatened, and already people started to cheer and Natsu. "She caught the two are really ...", to Bertram. "What is special? In fact, that they are. Not only do they have great magicians, no, they do it again and again to leave the stadium in one piece. "Luso finished his sentence. "And for the latter alone are most people here more than grateful."
After several minutes the two were in the hospital room and ran treat their wounds. "That you two always have to exaggerate." The nurse said to them, horrified. "Now we're just happy to spend our time here in the hospital room." Joked Natsu, while Hiita were preparing to come up to him. The fighting, which came after the two seemed quite boring now that everyone had seen Hiita and Natsu.
As was the second day of the festival over star sat Bertram, Luso and many others in the arena just from there to see the stars. "What do you mean Luso, do you think Hiita and Natsu would join our clan?" Bertram said plainly. "I doubt it. The two are so wild, would still put the port in coral rubble and ashes. ", Coimbra said.
. "And also: why should not the best by far fire mage just join our clan," "It was just a thought," said Bertram. Then they saw burned like on the other side of the arena two bright lights.
"What's that?" Said Bertram, where it first struck. He immediately got up and walked towards the light. Luso wanted to stop him but was also interested but then, who could come from the fire. When they arrived at the source of the fire, they were surprised and Natsu Hiita sat with bandages on the legs, arms and upper body in the stands and watched the sky.
"What are you two here?" Said Bertram, surprised. It was only noticed the two did not, but then they saw him and asked him first, who he was. "Bertram Marava of Clan Dragon Heart.", He introduced himself nervous. "Clan Dragon Heart?" Natsu asked immediately. Then when it came Luso also said that what she wanted at all of them.
"So since you two from one of the new clan?" Asked Hiita. The two nodded in agreement. "We wanted to ask you whether you want If you had to join our clan." Bertram said. With raised eyebrows, looked at them both. "What do you mean, Sis?" Natsu asked first.
Hiita gave himself uninterested, she did not care whether or not they would occur. "As long as the orders I am in the process." She said only. "So we have enough orders, which believe you me." Answered Luso satisfied. "Well then I am too." Concluded the Hiita an.Danach Natsu Natsu and told the two Hiita how their clan was and how many members it has.
"Only ten members? Is a little weak but is not it? "Natsu said skeptically. "Right now we have divided our clan to find new members." Luso replied calmly. "We also had with you two twelve people, but what would be a significant number or" Hiita only nodded, Natsu furrowed with the forehead. "If I were not wrapped in magic blocking these associations, I would make you a pile of ashes!" She said with an evil eye.
After their fight were both folded for security associations, which limit their magical abilities greatly. "I think you two would fit well into our squad." Bertram said insured.
At the same moment drew a shooting star in the sky vorbei.Auf the streets were still a lot of activity, then that stopped abrubt, when the sky was filled with a sudden shooting stars. Luso, which wanted to lie down and sleep and just stood back and looked out the window.
"Shooting stars." He said and smiled. "It means that the star festival, a memorial to the fallen of the war. The shooting stars are a kind of symbol for each fallen. "Hiita told and closed his eyes. Natsu also closed his eyes, and all in the city. Then it became more and more falling stars, which also brought Bertram to close the eyes to make a wish.
"Look, Rockwell." Nari said, looking up to heaven. The clouds from which until just now noticed the nonstop rain disappeared and allowed for a clear view of the starry sky.
Rockwell came out from under Naris wings, looked at the sky and closed her eyes. "Look Ryu, shooting stars," shouted Shadow, as just a shooting star over the camp, they pitched filed past. Ryu got up and looked in the sky, closed his eyes and wished for something. Surasshu Aussa and got off the train, which went up to Rose Garden, and were received positively by the meteor that passed in the sky.
"Beautiful." Said Surasshu while Aussa agreed with him, smiling. Even the sky coral port, where Rieder, Raio, Lyra and Alice remained was illuminated by the shooting stars. Back in Herena Hiita, Natsu and Bertram sat in the arena, again opened their eyes and have witnessed the star rain stopped slowly, until only a shooting star in the sky over jerked.
But then the shooting star just disappeared, just as they flew over a desert. A person in a black robe, sitting on a stone raised his hand, the shooting star went to him and read them then disappear in his hand. "So simple and yet so beautiful." He said quietly. He closed his hand when someone came to him, also a person in a black robe, who stood only.
"Are we ready?" She asked. "No, it takes a while." Replied the other, looking up at the sky. The other person sat next to him stood still and waited for this moment.
