「Sacrifice」

"700 years ago, dragons were slaughtered to death after the Tempest Dragon brought humanity to near extinction.

Only two survived, the White and Black Dragon who disappeared from human sight.

However with the same danger now lurking within the world, the two find themselves dwelling within lost secrets

and ancient relics that would bring them closer to the world's darkest truth."

With light steps, Aisha walked along the cobblestone grounds, her white cape flowing behind her elegantly. The morning scent swirled around her as a soft breeze brushed past. It was light outside, the sun peaking up over the mountains and showering the village with warm rays. A smile tugged on the female's lips as she fastened her pace, heading for a small house within the center of the village.

"Ah, good morning, Aisha!"

Turning her head, the female acknowledged the voice of an orange-haired lady, dressed in a light brown dress.

"Morning, Luichel!" The mage grinned back, stopping as she waved her hand.

"Where are you heading this early?" Luichel questioned, balancing a straw basket on her hips that held an assortment of crops.

"To the Haven!"

"Jeez, a meet-up this early? They sure are working my cute, little mage hard~"

"It isn't too early," Aisha chuckled, "Well catch ya later, Luichel, can't be late for this!"

She waved again as a farewell before turning her attention back on to the Haven. It was rather early, the villagers only now starting to wake up. As they exited their house, they waved a good morning to the mage. The village was large and cozy, the roads paved with cobblestone to allow horses and carriages to pass by. Within the center of the village was a large fountain, spewing out water as children ran around playing. The female was well known around the village, hailed as the savior of it after she protected them from a demon invasion. She was invited to live here as the top magician and she had accepted it curiously. After that, she joined a group of powerful warriors that protected the village from danger, known as the Haven.

As she walked, she noticed children scribbling on the ground and looked to find the drawing of a dragon with a large red x over it. She couldn't help the small sadness that appeared within her heart, only glancing away with a tight frown. Within this time, dragons were hated. Around 700 years ago, one dragon had destroyed nearly half the world, leaving humanity on the brink of destruction. The humans were able to recover, however they blamed the dragons for every misfortune that fell upon them since and hunted almost all of them down, except two. The White and Black dragon.

Those two dragons were thought to be hidden away somewhere among the world and to this day, hunters are still looking for them. Theories have been passed around to what might have happened to them, perhaps they were breeding somewhere, perhaps they had died, perhaps they were waiting for their chance to attack back in revenge. However for 700 years, they never reappeared.

If only that was the case, but, I'm right here next to you.

Aisha smiled thinly at the thought as she gazed around, taking in the beautiful architecture of the village. If they ever found out who she really was, she would no longer be hailed or welcomed here ever again. Aisha was different from most dragons, she grew interested in humans and found their changing behavior intriguing. But despite her fondness for them, she would eventually have to leave. Time was almost up. She gripped her shirt, her eyes lowering as she took in a deep breath. As she grew closer to her destination, she let out a sigh and released her hold.

"Almost there…" The mage murmured under her breath as she rounded the corner, spotting a familiar white building within the distance.

As she neared the Haven, she heard the sound of chatting and laughing. Quickly, she leapt up the white steps, knocking lightly on the wooden door before waiting. The door slide open momentarily, a male with glasses popping his head out.

"Oh, A-Aisha!" He stuttered, stumbling as he opened the door wide to let her in.

"Morning Allegro," Aisha greeted him, flashing a smile as she stepped inside.

"G-good m-morning…" Allegro replied quietly closing the door and bowing.

The male had long black hair, the bangs almost covering his glasses. He adorned a green jacket that covered his black shirt, tightened with a brown belt. The jacket had a white collar and a flaxen tie that hung loosely around his neck. He was one of the mage's comrades and studied on alchemy and potions. The Haven was one of the largest buildings within the village besides the Chief's home. The walls and floors were wooden, a few windows littering the walls along with paintings and portraits. In the main room was a large circular table, two familiar faces already seated and chatting. As soon as her presence was heard they turned to greet her.

"Morning Aisha!" A girl with red hair whipped up into a high ponytail waved, a giant smile crossing her face.

"Hey Katsa~" Aisha greeted, smiling as she sat herself down next to a girl with white hair, blue highlights streaking down her locks, "Morning Seine,"

Seine merely looked over, her cool, cerulean eyes glancing over the mage. She nodded and brushed a hand through her hair. Katsa and Seine both wore a large, brown cloak that covered their torso, along with beige shorts. On their neck was a necklace, symbolizing the element they controlled best; Katsa being fire and Seine being water/ice. Katsa was an archer while Seine was a mage like Aisha.

"Yo, everyone's here already," A husky male voice came into hearing and Aisha turned to look.

Infront of the door was a lean male, his hair the color of light blue. A small bandana hung loosely on the side of his head. His eyes were a sharp cobalt color and on his neck was the symbol of the element wind.

"Morning Kun," Seine murmured softly, her voice lacey and gentle.

"Hey," Kun replied, walking over and taking the other seat next to Seine.

"Good morning," A low voice muttered as a rather large man entered the room.

The male was well-built, his hair a short grey color with bangs swept to the side. His eyes were sharp and black and on his neck was the symbol of the element Nature.

"Morning Po!" Katsa shouted cheerfully, ushering the male over to the seat next to her, "Alright everyone's here!"

"I'm pretty sure you guys noticed but there's been a group of demons lurking around the village lately. The group is pretty big and the commanders pretty strong too so we need a plan~" She clasped her hand together, looking around the room for suggestions.

"If the groups big then they'll probably surround and protect the commander. We should launch a surprise attack then, I'll use wind to scatter the group. Seine and Po can use their magic to freeze or hold the commander down and Katsa, you should stay far away and take down any demons that come too close with your fire arrows. As for Aisha, since you can use almost every element perfectly, you should be the one to take down the commander." Kun said, glancing around the room as the rest of the members nodded. His gaze landed on the mage for a little bit longer as if he was waiting for an 'okay'.

Aisha nodded as well, easily taking up the offer with a reassuring smile.

I'd be worried if you guys took on the commander.

With that thought she watched as Katsa stood up, brushing off her cloak.

"Well then, let's put the plan in motion then!"

Silently, Aisha stood behind a large tree, her shadow completely hidden. It was dark and quiet, the only sounds being the grass rustling when an eerie wind blew by. On each side of the mage was the rest of the group, each hidden behind their own tree. The moonlight was the only source that provided vision for the group and the mage watched as Katsa jerked her hand, motioning a move forward as she leapt up onto a branch. With light steps, she dashed forward, quickly hiding herself behind another tree. Soon enough, looming shadows appeared and she watched cautiously as several demons floated past, their yellow eyes unblinking and hollow.

It's almost time.

She watched as Kun moved closer, expertly hiding from sight, his dagger gleaming as the moonlight shimmered on it. Within a few seconds a large gust of wind violently formed within the middle of the demons. It howled and whirled into a tornado, sending them scattering. Just as quickly as the wind had formed, ice started to cover the ground, snatching and grabbing the demons, imprisoning them. She watched as Seine stepped forward into vision, her fingers swirling with frost as her eyes stared coldly ahead. Suddenly, a painful screech filled the air causing Aisha to place her hands over her ear to block out the sound.

"He's frozen," Seine murmured, quickly forming a sharp, ice spear within her hands.

Just as those words left her mouth, Aisha's sight fell on to a large shadow, his body wriggling in pain as ice crawled its way up its body. Katsa leapt off the branch, a blazing arrow locked on to her bow as she let loose a rain of flames. The fire licked and burned the demons, quickly spreading at an alarming rate.

The commander's frozen, now!

The mage jumped forward onto a path of vines that started to wrap and twist over the flames. She quietly thanked Po as she dashed forward, her white cape fluttering behind her. With her hand outstretched, lightning started to appear, flashing within her palm. Her lavender eyes sharply landed on the large shadow, her hands pulled back. Just as she neared, the shadow let out a loud roar, a large claw slashing forward, allowing a powerful shockwave to flow out. The claw ripped through the ice cage, setting the monster free as Aisha jumped backwards, dodging the attack.

"He broke through!" She could faintly hear Seine shout as she landed roughly on the ground, narrowly avoiding the flames.

Don't tell me this demon...!

Glancing up, she watched as the shadow started rushing forward towards Katsa, it's claws violently hitting her squarely in the side.

"Katsa!"

Katsa gasped as it came into contact, sending her tumbling into the air. Aisha watched in horror as the female's body came down, Po catching her before she could hit the ground. Before the demon could get any closer, Po created a wall of stone.

"Seine! Dodge!" She whipped her head around just in time to see Seine jump back, narrowly avoiding the demon's claw.

However the ice mage wasn't quick enough and the front of her cloak was torn, the claws digging slightly into the female's stomach. Seine winced and wrapped an arm around her stomach, landing roughly. Before she could tilt backwards, Kun caught her and retreated behind Aisha who ushered Po over. Aisha's eyes landed on the blood that was seeping out of Seine's wound, her mouth drying as she stared it. Forcing herself to look away, she took a deep breath to calm herself.

Don't lose control...

"It's strong…!" Po uttered, placing Katsa down gently next to Seine, "They've both been hit pretty hard, we have to retreat!"

Just as the sentence was spoken the shadow howled and roared, ripping up the ground and throwing it right towards them. Aisha narrowed her eyes and stepped forward, her hand outstretched as a powerful azure barrier appeared in front of her palm. The rock was shattered as it came into contact with the shield, smaller pieces falling to the ground.

"Stay back…" The mage murmured, lowering her hand as she stepped forward.

Looks like I have no choice…

"I'm sorry," Their eyes widened at her as she turned around one last time with a sad smile.

Forming around the female was a light wind circle, slowing moving up her body and covering her within a cyclone. Once the gale disappeared, standing exactly where Aisha stood was a petite female, her hair a light lavender adorned with transparent goggles that had wings outstretched from them. Her outfit consisted of a pristine white dress, a feathered cloak wrapped around her shoulders that floated elegantly. However only one thing kept all the members with their mouth open, strong and faired wings that outstretched from her back menacingly.

"Dragon…?" Katsa whispered heartbrokenly, sitting up with wide eyes as she clutched her stomach.

However, Aisha ignored the looks of betrayal behind her back, her eyes focusing on the threat that laid before her currently. Bringing her hand up, frosty particles started to form in spikes that swirled around her. She stepped forward, her heels clicking against the ground. With a slash of her hand, the spikes were thrusted forward, piercing harshly into the shadow as it let out a screech of pain. With her other hand, a white staff appeared, wings bursting out at the top. WIth one fluid motion, she decapitated the demon, the corpse falling to the ground lifelessly.

Time's up…

Slowly, her transformation dissipated, leaving behind the familiar lilac-haired female. Breathing heavily, Aisha clutched at her shirt, her body weakened as she stood wobbly.

Blood… I need blood...

Her amethyst eyes glowed in thirst as she turned her head to gaze at the wound on Seine and Katsa. At this Kun and Po stood defensively in front of the girls, narrowing their eyes as the female turned completely around to face them. She felt her conscious drifting and her sanity leaving her as her eyes continued to glimpse over the blood with lust. She took a shaky step, her face emotionless as her violet eyes continued to glow.

"Don't come any closer…" Kun murmured darkly, raising his dagger up as he glared threateningly.

However his words fell onto deaf ears, Aisha merely staring blankly.

"Give me blood and I'll leave," She stated nonchalantly, her grip tightening on her shirt as her heart pounded fiercely.

Po's eyes sharpened, taking her words as a threat. Seine and Katsa laid silently at that point, their eyes wide as Aisha took another step.

"I only need a little…" The mage murmured desperately, stumbling as she steadied herself.

She came to halt when she finally took in the looks they were giving her. Betrayal. Hatred. Fear. Her heart nearly sank as she took in another breath.

I didn't want you guys to ever find out…

She cursed under her breath, eyes lowered as she slumped over weakly. If only she didn't use her dragon powers. Her eyes were fogging up at this point, small black circles appearing and blocking her vision. She heard Kun and Po stand up, circling her cautiously with their weapons pulled out. She heard their feet push off the ground and she knew what was coming.

This is it…

The mage felt herself tip, landing within gentle arms that cradled her. What…? She gazed up hazily, taking in a pair of crimson eyes as she was lifted off the ground. They softened at her glance and she felt her conscious slipping.

"You're…!" Kun eyes widened as he jumped back, staring at a lean young male with blazing hair.

The male turned to gaze coldly, his black wings spreading out menacingly as he raised his blade, the edge gleaming. Dark marks stained his body, trailing down his back and arms. Sable horns grew out from his head twisting as his scarlet eyes glowed with anger.

"Black dragon…" Po whispered, stepping back in fear.

"Humans," The dragon spat, pulling Aisha closer as he lifted up his blade, now surrounded by a shadowy-fog.

Just as he went to swing his sword, he stopped as a soft voice breathed out.

"Wait… don't kill them…" Aisha murmured heavily, weakly reaching a hand out.

The male stopped mid swing, remaining silent as his eyes flitted downwards. Aisha knew she couldn't hold on for much longer, the darkness already beginning to embrace her body and vision. With a weak touch, she pushed his hand down, the dragon complying as he lowered his weapon. She took in a shaky breath, barely being able to keep her eyes open at this point. She turned her head, giving a final desperate look in her former comrades direction before she her conscious completely slipped.

Kun and Po watched the Black Dragon cautiously as Aisha went limp in his arms, slowly lifting up Seine and Katsa.

"We need to leave now…" Katsa whispered harshly, her face contorted in pain and betrayal.

Seine was quiet, her eyes closed as she leaned against Kun's chest. Kun and Po nodded, turning back once before running.

"She needs blood," At that sentence, their bodies went rigid and cold.

Slowly, Kun turned his head, fear beginning to overtake his mind. Within just a second, there was a blade right in front of his eyes before everything went dark.

Stepping silently, a crimson-haired male gently placed Aisha down on top of a bed of vines that was formed by two trees. It hung just slightly above the ground, providing a small resting area. The tree leaves covered the moonlight, only allowing it to filter through lightly The male watched as Aisha breathed softly, her skin pale and her body weakened. He turned his attention behind him, staring at a strangled human body that laid lifelessly on the ground. Her white locks were stained with blood, the liquid pooling out around her. Stepping forward, he grasped her hair, lifting her up as he sunk his mouth into her neck, the blood oozing into his throat. After draining the last of it her tossed her body to the side, watching as it violently hit the ground. The dragon returned his gaze towards the unconscious mage, leaning forward before pressing his lips firmly against hers. At the taste of blood, Aisha's hunger brought her conscious back, her eyes fluttering open where they glowed brightly. Desiring more, she viciously ran her fingers through the black dragon's hair, pulling him closer as she swallowed each drop with virility. As the last of the blood slide down her throat, her shimmering orbs dimmed and she released her hold on the male's hair. She felt him pull away from her slowly and she stared up hazily into his crimson eyes.
