Chapter 1938 1938. Testing Light
"So, what is it looking like here?" Walker travel back toward the mansion had brought him to a place he didn't expect to be. At first, he had expected that he would run in to a person or two. That was just how it ended up going. He was a well known person around Genesis.
But when he ran in to Su, he hadn't expected that she would be right next to Rise of all people. lately, Su had been training with Alice. The two of them had been challenging each other in battles using mainly light mana against Su's physique. It had led them to grow very much and start to create new battle styles.
"We were just speaking about the usage of light elemental mana when Alice was training against me. She had to go because of her duties within the cathedral. But Rise stopped me." Su gave a quick explanation of what had happened. But that still left some to be desired.
"I decided that Su will come with me when I find the light dominator dragon ruins. Her body is very unique and I believe that she will benefit from some proper guidance." For Rise to say something like this meant a lot.
The level of scrutiny that Rise put on people was just because of her high standards. These weren't due to her being cruel but her strictest when it came to what a dragon was and dragon tradition. She valued the light and the fact that it was puree compared to other elemental manas. Light rarely mixed with many other manas because of its odd existence. The same could not be said for darkness mana.
But when it came to Rise, she also believed that being closer to then light meant separating herself from other manas. Not that this seemed to be the case anymore. Yet, here she was, proving that she still valued a lot of things that made the dragons and light separate. This being the case, caused Suu to be under her gaze.
"Her body is sharing traits with a dragon and dragonkin. She must be able to live up to the dragon blood she shared. She has never undergone the trails that normal draconic guardians would hold. She has never seen a dragon champion fight in the same way that our traditions require. So she will come with me to learn."
Now this was a bit more information. "I understand. As long as Su agrees and can learn from it, then i am sure it will be helpful. The other dragons have made their moves with their own dominator ruins. I am sure you sensed that and are working for that reason." Walker could tell there was a bit of tense aura around Rise.
She could sense everything that was going on around the other dragons. Especially the fact that they were beginning to take the steps to becoming a proper dominator dragon. Therefore, she was pressured to move and also stand tall. If she was the weakest dragon, then she would show the weakness of light as a whole. She would dishonor the dragons overall as a race. She could not be weak like that.
"When we leave, we will begin proper training. A dragon champion would leave without anything to eat, drink, or to help them. They would fight a prey that is stronger than them to return to their lord and offer it. The draconic guardian would have a similar test." Walker could understand this. A champion had to show their true strength.
"A draconic guardian will need to prove that they can use their body and the rights within their blood shared between the two, to survive and protect. If they can not do so, they will be cleaned from this world. They must live up to and beyond the expectations set before them by the many who have come before them."
This was more than what Rise normally spoke like. She held a normally heavy tone that showed the true expectations for dragons. However, this held a darker undertone. One that showed the weight of dragon history.
With the dragons discovering their history more than before, it was clear that there was more to this. Something that resonated with the years of draconic guardians and champions that had been idle compared to the ancient battles known and unknown.
Especially with the royal dragons themselves rediscovering paths lost to them. The height to be reached was unknown. Su needed to show that she was capable of?reaching for those as well.
"Walker, don't look worried. I am a draconic guardian. That is the system I have. I started to learn about myself. I can see more with my eyes now. Like a dragon. I am stronger like a dragon. I can even breathe the smallest of flames like a dragon. But I have not been through proper training like a dragon."
"Other draconic guardians can fight the elder dragons evenly or even to victory. I can not do that as I am now. I need to accept more of who and what I am now. I barely started."
Su spoke with sincerity that made Rise show her teeth in a small smile. It appeared that this was the exact mentality that she wanted to see in Su and even more so, I'm those protecting the dragon champions.
"When I come back, you should tell Midnight that she might not be able to beat me." This made Walker very surprised. That sort of challenge was not normal for Su to issue.
Normally the two trained and teased one another. However, strong statements like this were abnormal. Therefore, it meant that Su was expecting to become much, MUCH, stronger than she was now.
"I understand. I need to grow too but you and I have different ways to do it. If you need me, just call. I will find a way." Walker knew that Rise and Su both had communication crystals. They accepted them for emergencies.
"Do not doubt that we have the strength to stay on our own. We will train and undergo what is necessary to maintain the great dragon race as needed." Rise said this as Su gave a wave.
"Do we really need to leave on an ominous tone like that? Walker and everyone will be much more worried." Su felt a little bad to leave like that. Originally, Rise was ready to just take her away without saying anything.
"Yes. We are going to the sky much higher than you know. Once you are out under the right pressure, you may advance to what you should be. You are unique and I believe you are stuck because you lack the proper motivation to fully show your new strength."
This had been something Rise believed from when she first started to accept Genesis. She saw that Su was somewhat half way between dragon and human. She was not properly mixing who she was on the Inside yet.
Lately though, Rise noticed that Su had begun to properly look within herself. The perfect time to begin training like this. The perfect time to take the next step that she should take regardless of where and when she was In the world.
For a draconic guardian to be weak was a crime within itself. They should be the absolute protector of the dragon champion as they grew. Never should the be weaker when protecting their champion as they grew. They were the solid foundation so that the champion could rise above them.
As far as Rise saw, Su was behind and that was wrong. " when we get there, we will be in wilderness you have not seen. You will face dangers you might not know. You will do it without food, water, or help of any kind. Who me who you are and who you will be."
Su felt that this was similar to the echidna. Showing her a path she could walk. Yet, this was different. Rise was showing her the speed of how she should travel that path. The encouragement to stand taller in that path. To be able to be powerful and properly show that path as the truth.
"Whatever you expect from me. Double it. I will be the hero that protects my family and all people. I do not guard just a champion, but my sister. My family. My blood." Su's steel gaze fell on Rise and she felt a slightly fear. This was not an average proposal or promise. It was one that was held with all of Su's soul and being. A true will.
"I look forward to seeing your words in action. Now hold on to me." Rise took Su by the arm and she flapped her wings. They were leaving Genesis for the time being.
