Chapter 7
Coli Team (RNG): Ignacia, Potion, IvyI let RNG decide which dragons should go to the Coli, and I decided to split the group into the same teams. As long as they're separated in the storyline, I'll keep the teams like that, but will randomly decide which one will do the fighting.
Ascot’s voice was the only thing that could be heard in the hall with the doors. Ignacia had tried to ask Potion a few things, but she quickly realized he wouldn’t talk. Maybe he couldn’t. And maybe his name wasn’t even Potion, but when asked who he was he had pointed at one of the Potions she had gotten from her bag in case the dragon in the box was hurt or weak.
But Ascot couldn’t give up.
„What’s with the mask anyways? Do you have scars? Are you a silent warrior? An Assassin?“
„Ascot, shut up and choose a door.“, Ignacia said, hoping that the excitement about choosing would silence the Pearlcatcher for a while.
Behind the next door was a small hallway with a junction after a few metres. „Left or right?“, Akrail asked and looked at Ignacia and Ascot. He acted like he couldn’t choose which one to ask, as if he couldn’t decide which one he saw as a leader.
Ignacia took the left path without saying anything. „Just another door.“, she noted immediately, so she couldn't have gotten far. Ascot turned right. „Yeah, here's a door, too.“ A few bumping noises came from his direction. „It doesn't open.“
Ignacia wasn't surprised. „The trials we had so far were more about teamwork than anything else. Even the Pocketmice seemed to test our ability to fight together. So these doors might open when we try at the same time. Again.“
Akrail peeked around the corner and said: „But... that would mean we'd have to split up, right?“ His voice sounded worried. „I'm going with Ignacia!“, Ascot shouted from his side of the junction. „No, you're not.“ The female Tundra quickly replied. „I'm going with Potion, and you go with Akrail.“
Potion got stronger, and Ignacia learned Aid!
Both doors opened with a loud squeak as soon as Ascot and Ignacia tried to open them simultaneously. „Are we gonna be separated for long? What if we never-“, Ignacia heard Akrail ramble, but as soon as the door shut behind her and Potion it was silent. „Thank god.“, the Spiral thought while his companion took a few steps forward. It seemed there was just another hallway before them.
„Look!“, Ignacia whispered after squinting for a while. „Is that another dragon?“
And indeed, a Skydancer stood at the end of the Hallway, calmly waiting for them.
Ivy comes with Apparel!
Ignacia reached Level 8!
Potion and Ivy reached Level 5!
I promise I'll properly introduce the two new dragons in the next chapter.
