”That turtle?! A Lord of this realm? Then why is it so weak?”

”I.... do not know. But the way I observed him, it seems that he is still trying to figure out his powers as well. I would really love to have got a taste of that rare turtle but now, it seems I am done for.”

”You can still recover! We still have the Dragon blood!”

”Don't forget we are half dragon and half water elementals. Now that I have no water essence in me, I am nothing but an unstable body of dragon meat with an imbalanced essence.” The leader explained. Seeing that the fourth born was still confused, he added:

”In other words, my recovery is useless because I am not what I used to be. I am just a pile of powerful meat with no means to move. I am not gonna-”

Seeing his brother dying slowly the more he spoke, the fourth born quickly interjected.

”Then I will bring that turtleback here and demand your water essence back that way you can-!”

”eat me.”

”what?!”

”Eat my remains. So that you can use the remaining Dragon meat and essence to purify your body and possibly evolve.” The fifth born added.

”What are you talking about!? I know our Dragon meat is a powerful elixer but we do not give up that easy! We will bite them back until there is nothing left for us but dust!-”

”LISTEN TO ME!” The leader said with a commanding growl. The fourth born quickly attended.

”With the turtle now able to claim our water essence, we don't stand a chance against him. But I have a better plan. Our bodies are most compatible with each other. If we get to merge everyone into one, just imagine our overall power. What I mean is fusion. And it's a success will be up to you.” The fifth born confidently declared.

Knowing that he doesn't have time, the fourth born gave a serious look to his drying brother and said.

”Tell me what to do.”

With a creepy dying smile, the fifth born replied.

”Eat me... and the others. After then, you will have the unstoppable power that you need to wipe this place off. Not even our maker can stop us and that Turtle? It will be a piece of cake for you!”

Seeing his resolute brother, the fourth-born finally gave up to his command. His mouth suddenly expanded with an oversized stretch covering the whole body of the fifth-born.

”That's it! Eat me! Eat m-”
