Chapter 131 - Drako
"Leader of the Amazon tribe, it's my pleasure and honor to meet you, my name is Alfonso Lockheart, lord of Wasteland Valley" Said Alfonso.
"Alfonso Lockheart? Good name, thanks for accepting our request for help, in this dire situation, to be honest, if we could, we didn't want to get a third party involved, however, we didn't have must of a choice here" Said Ainai.
"Antiope told me about the situation, however, I don't have all the details, do you mind to tell me more about the enemy and its purpose?" Asked Alfonso.
"Of course, how much do you know?" Asked Ainai.
"I only know that an event happens in the Lackshets tribe twenty years ago that makes them break the peace agreement" Said Alfonso.
"Well, that's half of the story, twenty years ago, a baby was born in the Lackshets tribe, his name was Drako, he was born under the brightest star, since he was a children, he was exceptional in everything he did, when he got at the age of ten, his powers began to emerge, he has the purest dragon blood in the history of the Lackshets, he has the potential to became even stronger than his father, about three years ago he assemble all the tribes in the Jubila forest, of course, we were included, he told us his ambition" Said Ainai.
"What does he want to do?" Asked Alfonso.
"He wants to 'eat' his father" Said Ainai.
"EAT!?" Asked Alfonso.
"Of course, by eat, I don't meant to literally eat Leviathan, he wants to devour his soul, so he can became a true dragon, Drako isn't a pure dragon, in fact, as far as I know, there are only three dragons who are still alive, one of them is in Greycastle, Leviathan is the other one and the last one seems to live in the country of the sea" Said Ainai "Anyway, although his idea isn't bad he doesn't have any method to apply it, that's why he invoked us so we could prove him alternatives, some tribes plegde their alliance immediately, while others decided to stay neutral, we were with the later ones, however, somehow, Drako became our of our abilities, he demand us to hang over our technique of the oversoul, however, this technique can't be used by someone with a weak power soul, I personally warm him, over and over again I told him that he shouldn't mess with this, I teach him our ability and… the worse happen" Said Ainai with some sadness.
"What happened to Drako?" Asked Alfonso
"The soul power in the environment its too… polluted, it contains a lot of impurities that cant affect the mind of the ones who touch it, there are three kinds of impurities that must never be touched, the eternal power of life, the deadly power of death and the forbidden power of time, Drako, in his goal to gain more power, absorber too much power of death and lose his mind, he transformed all the Lackshets in brainless puppets, he wants to transform this land in the land of death, for years, we have suffered the attack of Lackshets, however, about three months ago, something happen, Drako, who hadn't meddle in any battle, suddenly appear in the battlefield and massacre three tribes, that's why, we sent Antiope and the others in request for help, so we can stop Drako before is too late" Said Ainai.
Alfonso was stunned by all this information, especially, because the three powers that Ainai mentioned.
"The forbidden power of time?" Asked Alfonso.
"Among the three powers, the power of time is the most dangerous, that's why is called 'forbidden', didn't you know? The power of time disappear from this planet more than ten thousand years ago in the god realm war, the legend says that the most powerful god declared war against all the other gods, the god in particular killed more than half of the gods, at the end, the gods couldn't destroy her, so they decided to lock her up for all eternity, coincidently, this god in particular had the power of time" Said Ainai.
"I… I didn't know that" Answer Alfonso.
"Getting back to the topic, Drako is currently preparing his forces to invade our most sacred place, the tomb of the sword goddess!" Said Ainai.
"Tomb… she is dead!?" Asked Alfonso surprised.
All the amazons made a sorrow face, after some time, Ainai spoke.
"When we were running from Godshalt, the sword goddess received a heavy injure made by Vladimir, she died after the battle with Timothy, the user of the flame sword, we buried her in that mountain" Said Ainai while signaling a small mountain behind them.
"Some people has spread the legend that, inside her tomb, the flame sword, ignite, live there, Drako wants that sword, coincidently, your friend also wants that sword, we don't really care if the sword is there or not, however, we won't let anyone disturb the eternal resting place of our ancestor, so we would like to request from your help, Alfonso" Said Ainai while looking at Alfonso straight into the eyes.
She kneeled and put her forehead on the ground and said
"Assist us in defending this tribe and its people, lord of Wasteland Valley, Alfonso Lockheart!"
Alfonso looked at Ainai and then though for some time.
"When will Drako arrived?" Asked Alfonso.
"In one week" Answer Ainai.
"How confident are you to defeat him?" Asked Alfonso.
"About half-half, we are almost equal in power, however, the problem is that his army is too powerful, and we are too little," Said Ainai.
Alfonso nodded and stay in silence for some time, after one minute he looked back at Ainai and said
"I got it, however, I have one request for you" Said Alfonso.
"Please ask" Said Ainai.
Alfonso put his hand on his chest.
"Teach me how to use Oversoul, that's my condition to help you out" Said Alfonso with conviction.
