Chapter 1025: The four elements
There were three dragon beasts, standing side by side, while one was much smaller than the other two. The smaller dragon tried to steady itself and flap its wings in an awkward struggle.
The little dragon beast's eyes stared at the two bigger dragon beasts on its left and right, it was just that it was still not used to the changes pertaining to its new form.
The bigger dragon beast on Bree's right then flapped its wings, as if showing her how to fly. This was the shortest and most rushed lesson he had to teach at a situation like this, considering how little time they had.
The flapping of the dragon beast's large wings stirred out a fairly strong wind and made Bree, in her beast form, close her eyes and retreat backward slowly, but before she could really move away out of fear, the second dragon beast held her in position and nuzzled the side of her head, a gesture to relax the yet unsettled little girl a little.
Bree whimpered, but she eventually stopped cowering back.
After that, the second dragon beast flapped its wings as well, following the first dragon.
When the two dragon beasts finally hoisted themselves in the air, their eyes landed on the the last dragon, waiting for the young air dragon shifter's readiness to fight her fears and join them.
But Bree looked doubtful. Her eyes occasionally glanced at the battle that was taking place between the shifters and Hydra as well as the magicians who were trying to fight against the devils, not to mention the scary whirlwind, which was rolling in the air, it was a reason enough for Bree to back down.
To put it simply, the current situation was truly a mess, with red clouds floating very low, as if they were reflecting how much blood had been spilled so far. It was hard for one's common sense to grasp.
Moreover, Bree was just a little girl, why on earth did she have to go to the center of a crazy battle?
This looked nothing different from a catastrophe, the end of all living things, as if in a matter of seconds, the ground beneath them would also split open and they would fall into it, which, at this rate, seemed like a plausible possibility.
Bree wanted to be brave for them, Kace said she needed to do it in order to win the war, it was just that the experience she had just had a few hours ago was something she didn't want to reenact ever.
She knew what it was like to fly, but her first flying experience wasn't quite pleasant.
"How does Serefina know that the four kinds of dragon shifters can kill the Hydra?" Torak asked, his eyes still fixed on the battle before him.
"Of course I am the one who told her," Cristal said proudly. "But, in exchange, during that meeting, she stole something from me. That insolent witch!" the candlemaiden began to grumble about Serefina's bad character.
Meanwhile, upon closer observation, they realized that the shifters who were on the battlefield, did not belong to any one of their packs. The shifters were rouges and some of them even seemed to believing in hiding for hundreds of years.
Torak was quite impressed at the fact that Serefina was able to gather them all.
So this was what Serefina and Lana have been doing. This was the so called task the witch often gave to the she- wolf.
Lana had been trained for this.
It was just that it was a shame, Lana was not here to see the results of her hard work.
Apart from Serefina, no one knew for sure what Lana did every time she went out on a mission, and now everything was clear.
It was irritating to know how Serefina did all of this on her own way and at will, while the three Donovan brothers were busy fighting among themselves to the point where they didn't even bother about thinking anything else much less drawing up a perfect war strategy.
Serefina could have discussed the matter with them, but on the second thought, the thought of Serefina sitting and having a calm conversation with them, was an odd sight.
That was not her character at all...
But still…
Meanwhile, on the other hand, since the first time Jedrek heard about Serefina planning things from Nutdrouk, strategies that she had worked out for hundreds of years, the king did not say a word and his eyes darkened whenever Serefina's name was mentioned.
Torak didn't want to bother him because Jedrek was the one who had to face the turmoil that was raging inside him.
"Water dragon shifter, earth dragon shifter, air dragon shifter." Cristal listed their kinds one by one. "All kinds of elements are here and that is what it takes to behead the nine Hydra heads."
"But, we don't have a fire dragon shifter." Kace added, he furrowed his brows when he saw Bree trying to flap her wings timidly.
"Well, fire dragon shifter is way more cunning than the other three kinds." Cristal snorted, very displeased with the fact that the fire dragon shifters betrayed them again, just like during their first war with the devils. "And the fire element is essential to burn down that ugly monster."
Knowing the nature of fire dragon shifters, Serefina seemed to have predicted this would happen.
"So, what are we going to do? We don't have a single dragon shifter on our side." Kace looked at Cristal in confusion.
"The phoenix," Jedrek finally opened his voice, he looked at the mythical bird that was now flying, with its colorful wings just above Bree's head and then flew low to sweep its wings against the dragon's scaly skin.
Yes, the phoenix's element was fire.
"Yes, the perfect fire," Cristal said, her eyes glistening with interest at sight of the bird. "The three dragons could assist the phoenix and then the bird would do the rest. Killing the monster."
And before them, at last Bree began to flap her wings and fly, accompanied with the beautiful phoenix's guidance.
While Bree had joined the other two dragon beasts and flew with the phoenix in the direction of the fierce battle that was taking place, the Donovans had to face yet another problem…
