168 I like to be alive and donst want to be dead (2/2)
”You, the dark soul. You are late.” Caught by surprise, she saw the oldest of the dragon starring at her. Looking at him carefully, she could see he was probably older than her, something rare enough to be interesting. However, it also meant he probably was alive during the Age of Darkness and will have valuable information in his soul.
”What are you doing? Starring at someone else like that? Don't you know it lacks respect? Would you be happy if someone came into your house, perturbed your morning sunbath and starred at you like that?” Nagging like an old senile man, the dragon was clearly talking to her like she was just a kid. He even had the underline tone, that was particularly displeasing to the ears. The one saying he knew everything, while she was completely dumb.
”What do you mean by I am late?” Even then, she did not stop starring at him. After all, it was still very strange, as a situation. And how could he know that she would come here, how could he know something she hadn't planned at first? As for the other dragons, they treated her like she didn't exist at all.
”You are late. The small human said you would come in a few hundreds of year. He did not precise thousand of years. I almost thought he scammed me.” Seeing the old creature still talking like he was the friendly and annoying elder of the neighborhood, the contents of his sentences were still extremely weird. But knowing fully well who was present on this world during that time, she also knew who came here first.
”How did he called me precisely?” The dragon paused for a second, clearly not expecting this question. Frowning, he tried to remember as it was a long time ago. ”I think he called you little girl. And said you will be a completely black soul, besides your eyes and hair. On that point, he was extremely precise.”
”So that's Candaith. What did he do to obtain the help of the dragons and at the same time, why did he train that Archmage?” Thinking about this, she did not notice the fact that the elderly monster was once again displeased by her.
”See, once more, a little disrespectful. Stopping a friendly discussion like that just to think. Anyway, he helped us so we promised to help him with a few things. And all he wanted was to transmit something to the future dark soul. That was it.” Finishing to say that, he looked at the smallest dragon, that immediately began to standing up while complaining.
After that, the dragon entered one of the wide openings inside Clear Peak, to search for something. ”It will not take a long time. So, little girl, do you have anything else to do? Can you let me sunbath in peace, and get rid of all those shadows that are blocking the sunlight?” Not knowing that he was also making Leilade angry, the old dragon did not even wait for her answer before slightly moving his large body. Just enough to not have a black soul between the sun and him.
Not happy to be called like that, Leilade also moved, to be in front of the lazy lizard. The latter looked at her, with the same expression he had since the beginning. ”I found that a bit insulting. I just want to appreciate the day, but you don't even listen to me. I am very old, older than you for sure. Maybe you should listen to your elders. Ah, here it is.”
Fortunately, before the situation worsened, the small dragon brought a completely red crystal. It was almost half the size of Leilade and when she grabbed it, she could feel it was also quite heavy. Carefully probing inside it, she found out a strange spell, buried deep inside. But because no mana was flowing inside the crystal, it was inactive.
”Did he said why I should have that?” More focused on the crystal, she did not saw the ancient dragon beginning to lash out on the younger one. The latter rapidly returned to the same cave, to find something else apparently. However, before he answered that question, he looked at the dark soul for a brief moment, his eyes showing his wariness.
”Why were you here?” Still concentrated into unveiling what was inside the crystal, she answered without thinking too much. ”To get rid of the dragons. The dwarves asked me to.” The only reason why she could say that was the fact that they wouldn't be able to harm her before she could react. Even now, if even the slightest amount of mana was perturbed by the casting of a spell, she would sense it.
”Again, a bit insulting. I like to be alive and don't want to be dead. Therefore, I hope I will never see you again.” Knocking one of his claws on the red gem, he infused enough mana to activate it. Before she could understand what was happening, she felt her body stuck on the red crystal, only watching the other dragons beginning to slowly retreat. The young one finally brought along a blue crystal, only to realize it was too late.
Unlike the process that happened to the two human magicians, that took a while, this time, it happened almost immediately. After all, the difference in mana between the humans and Leilade was enormous. Realizing what will happen when the gem will be filled, the moving soul immediately protected herself, before a huge explosion shook the peak, creating a small portal on it. The flash of light blinded the bystanders, and when they recovered their senses, nothing was there. No dark soul, no portal anymore.

A few seconds later, the old dragon approached the place, before leisurely extending his body on the stone ground. However, he had to get up after, as the perfect plane stone he had wasted days to find and drag up there had been fissured by the explosion. Making his sunbath awfully uncomfortable because of the tiny sharp fragments that were poking at him. ”Damned little girl. Even running my morning like that.”
