'Unique quest- flame dragon's bond

Requirement- ensure that both the royal fire dragon and the unique system user, Hero Remey, survive this event.
Reward- 20 heroic points, 5000 experience, dragon flame enlightenment, draconic rune enlightenment.'
All the rewards were something that would help make Walker stronger but when he was looking at Remey, he was beginning to understand the depth of what she and Ignus had learned and been working on when it came to fire. When it came to growing stronger.
"I know you are going to get angry or whatever. But just listen and help us. That's what we need." Remey put on a clearly determined face. But the way that she spoke made Walker even more worried and unwilling to allow the two of them to take this step.
"When Ignus showed me that there was a unique set of runes that the flame dominator dragons used that are closer to the origin runes and made for dragons, I thought that he would be able to use them to help me learn more about fire."
"Then we spoke with the echidna and learned even more about how mana works and how fire is just one form that all mana takes. So, I figured that dragons shouldn't be the only ones that can use their runes. Yes, they are made for dragons so it is easier for them, but Ignus and I made a deal."
Ignus stepped closer to Remey then looked at Walker. "A human that can face me head on and not flinch when I threaten to eat her in a single bite. Not even the fire dragons of my village or any village are willing to stand in front of my face like that. Whether it is courage or madness. We share the same mind."
This seemed to be something that Remey and Ignus had realized some time ago. Their brutal and unflinching bluntness when facing fights or just general ideas was too similar. They were two birds of a feather. But they had taken their own stubborn time to understand this. Overall, it was hard to really understand how it could be possible.
"Don't just sit there and look confused. We are saying that we are sticking together. So deal with it. Dragons are already allies and Ignus is definitely willing to unite with the other races. So this would happen at some point. But that's not enough. Training made me understand a difference."
There was a lot of worry and sadness on Remey's face. "I wasn't able to improve my strength, just alchemy. Physically, I was losing the ability to keep up because I was a human. I am only human and use spiritual flames from my partner. But that's just it, I use strength from elemental spirits and alchemy. That's just a line I can't cross. My alchemy gets better but what happens when I face corrupted mana? I can't clean that up. Only you and Gil have skills to do it."
"So, Ignus showed me a path to take. We are going to mix the original fire dragon runes with my body and his. Then we will absorb pure dragon flames. My alchemical brawler skills can handle it while I change my body and get stronger. I won't be some monster, but I might be more like a dragon myself." Remey seemed almost childish. Walker felt that he was looking at someone making fantastical claims.
However, Su had become dragon like. She was a draconic guardian. She had accepted a ritual and gained a lot from her bond with Midnight. Yet, Remey wasn't bonded in the same way. This was vastly different.
"I won't be half dragon or anything like that, but I will undergo the same steps as a dragon to understand fire at the deepest depths. That's what's written in the flame dominator dragons slates. The knowledge there is how to understand the change in mana that makes fire mana exist."
Ignus finished Remeys thoughts. It was clear that Remey had been preparing and needed to conserve strength. But Walker could sense the threats in this. The dangers that came with trying to play with a concept like the creation of fire mana.
"I understand why you want to get stronger, but you potions are already changing everything. Affinity potions, explosive potions, antidotes to poisons no one else has ever created. So much." Walker's words were brushed off easily.
"But that is just part of being a hero. I need to stand taller and protect the family we built here in Genesis. Being able to control flames to the core of their existence will allow me to be a hero that can purify corruption. A real step to strength. It is already decided. Just help us control the mana that escapes and tries to cause problems."
"But what about-"
"Walker! We have already started. Look at my body. The pure flames were used to place these original dragon runes on my skin and even burned in to my being. Ignus is the same. He can't even take his dragon form because a dragon is weakest while taking this step. That's why there were always so few dominator dragons. They lose all strength while battling for their purity and their existence."
It made sense now. The leaps In strength came with the risk. The cost for this attempt could be their lives. But it could also reshape their potential. Allow them to stand ten steps higher than they had before. But it would also be a major loss for the world if they failed.
"It's time we start. We will lose ability to move while the runes work and the pure flames absorb in to our bodies. Please protect the city while we work."
Ignus stepped on to a matching rune formation. There was a sincerity and tenderness that Walker didn't expect him to have. However, I'm the wildest and oddest way, he had finally found his match. Someone who could stand unflinching in front of him. Someone that would even dare to wield a fist toward him if he spoke out of line. A comical event for a dragon like him. A royal.
A deep breath was all Walker could take before he watched the runes light up. The intense and pure fire mana seemed to be impossible to grasp. He just knew that he had been asked here as both witness and protector. Something that he was trusted to be regardless of what he was doing.
The trust made his heart feel heavier as he understood the risk happening here. Remey was betting her life on her will. The strength that she had to resist losing to the power of pure flames and how they came to be. Ignus was the same.
Regardless of Walker's thoughts, he had been blind. Ignus had more than just taken on the values of Genesis. He was even willing to risk it all and defend it properly. Walker had missed this development because of everything happening around them.
Walker had been blinded by his own opinions of Ignus. The rough words and easy temper had been what covered Ignus's true thoughts. However, Walker saw clearly now. That a grand ally willing to step on as a shield and caregiver to Genesis and all races was right in front of him.
A part of the family.
Rampant fire mana tried to expand outward. Walker instantly called on his strength to manipulate the mana while pulling natural mana toward him. Fleur even reacted and started sharing natural mana too. Controlling the flames was harder than he expected.
The pure flames had caused the original fire dragon runes to glow on both Ignus and Remey's bodies. The pure flames wrapped them like eggs. Allowing them to absorb them and shape them as they learned. As they battled against the flames as a whole.
The pressure only grew as Walker felt the mysterious force of true mana showing its face. He felt like the world itself had held its breath as these rampant flames tried to break away those that dared look in to their origin.
But the flames didn't know what was looking back. They didn't know the intense will that had started back at them. The origin of flames not seen by any being in years upon years without walking in to the plane of fire was finally being called. The grand fire elemental spirit was also resonating with it. Walker could only wait and hold on as the flames grew.
