My Dragon System

After everyone had finished collecting the crystals from the Spiked hog's, they were all put into a dimensional space bag. The bag belonged to Lenny. When asked how he was able to afford such a thing, he replied back saying he had created it himself of course.

The dimensional bag just acted as a teleporter, usuelly they all belonged to a particular company that would keep the items safe and store them in a large warehouse of sorts. As for Lenny's he had made it so, anything put in the bag, would go to his own research room back at Avrion.

For now, though, Kyle was put in charge of looking after the bag. After seeing how flexible and how well he had dodged the spikes from before they felt it was the only write thing to do.

"Okay, we're about to activate the circles." Lenny said." Now remember, there may be another horde of beasts after this, I hope you all had a nice rest."

"That's okay." Harry said, "We need more beast anyway."

There were four of them set to go through the beasting process. Ideally, they would have liked to gather as many different amounts of basic tier beast crystals as possible. This would give them more choice to choose from. Harry didn't like the idea of having spikes growing from his back, so he was eager to meet more beasts.

Both Bliss and Lenny placed there hand on the ground and the magic circle, begin to light up. The special solution that was placed in the centre had started to spread thin, and a glowing plus seemed to go outward from the circle. With each pulse of energy, the ground began to look healthy, and slowly a dark purple shadow could be seen rising from the ground.

The two circles had been set up so they could cover around a hundred by hundred meters of land. So quite a large chunk was being removed. Finally, it seemed like the shadow had been removed from the ground. Unlike in the test tube where the cork was stopping it from lifting up and disappearing. The shadow could be seen floating above like a dark cloud.

It quickly started to gather becoming denser before swirling away deeper into the shadow continent.

Shivers ran down the spines of the two students.

"Creepy," Flynn said. "It was like it was alive. I can't believe we were standing on that a few moments ago."

"Do you think the shadow is going back to the person that caused this?" Wendy asked. "Maybe we could follow it?"

"And do what?" Bliss replied. "Follow it into enemy territory. Knowing where the shadow plague is, has never been a problem."

When the shadow had first appeared in a small city. The kingdoms that used to exist up north were said to be just as powerful as the ones today. Yet, every single one of them were wiped out. Perhaps if the other kingdoms hadn't been fighting each other, and reacted quickly to the threat, they could have quelled it, but at first, it didn't seem like a big deal.

This was the main problem with the shadow now. As quickly as they were defeating it, it would regrow just as fast, just like the shadows around a True infected.

"I have a question," Scarlett said, raising her hand as if she was in a school.

"Err yes," Lenny said awkwardly, pointing to her like a teacher.

"If the solution is able to remove the shadow from the land, then what about the infected or the true infected, would it work on them?" She said excitedly. For a long time now, she had gone off in search of a way to get rid of the infection from a human body but had found no such solution.

She started to get excited that the answer might be here in front of her.

Lenny, looked at Bliss for this one, as she had the secret ingredient that she hadn't even informed him of. All he knew was that the liquid added was red in colour. But that could have been anything. He had tried many things before, but nothing had worked.

"I won't lie to you, there is a good chance it could, only if the solution was stronger. For a True infected is more deeply connected with the shadow compared to the land."

A big smile had appeared on Scarlett's face hearing the news. However, it was quickly left for what Bliss had to say soon after.

"But… the ingredients needed, is very hard to come by and even I don't have a large supply of it. We will only be able to clear so much of the land."

"Please!" Scarlett said desperately. "Tell me what it is, whatever it is I promise I'll get it for you. If I get you the ingredients will you create the solution for me?"

"I'm telling you it's impossible for you," Bliss said as she was about to walk away.

Lenny and the others could tell from the way Scarlett was acting and from what she had said, most likely someone close to her had been infected by the shadow. Many people knew someone who had been. Due to the past thought of not being able to save them, they had no choice but to kill the True infected.

"Please... I don't want to use his name, but this is important to me. You work for Ray right, he's you're king so shouldn't you do anything you could to help his father?" Scarlett asked.

This had come as big news to everyone thier. Even Martha and Harry who had known Ray the longest knew nothing about his farther being infected by the shadow. He had never mentioned it before.

"First of, Ray is not my king, he and I have a mutual agreement…" Bliss wanted to say more. However, she realised that Ray's past was no fault of this human in front of her. In fact, in a way, it was because of her that her child had been cursed with the soul of the Red Dragon. "Look, it wasn't that I didn't want to tell you guys what the secret ingredient was, but more like I felt there was no point in telling you. It's not hard to find, it's impossible to find because it doesn't exist anymore. The secret ingredient... is Dragon's blood."
