ready.

The fight started. Airin called out loudly “Mythenhieb!” Her blade began to shine, but this time downright weaker than in the castle of the dragon queen. Possibly because there was more darkness than light, which seemed to strengthen the weapon. Aurora fended off the attack with a weak energy shield and countered in turn with his hail of light balls. She dodged it without any problems because she had expected it. and started a counterattack. Aurora used this to maximize his defense, with which he was prepared for any eventuality. Airin tried to break through it, but was only thrown backwards. she had to be careful not to fall into the lava lake, because her clothes were not resistant to fire. Lyafarr didn't seem the least bit interested in the little argument that was going on, as it didn't show up. Both were determined not to make it easy for the other, but you quickly noticed that Aurora simply had more experience and Airin had to defend more than attack. he barely gave her a chance to counter. and so she was soon in an unfavorable position. In addition, the special ability of her blade could not be fully savored here. She also had to take a few hits as she slowly began to weaken and lost concentration. Her aimless blows were more like an act of desperation than a real sword blow. Finally she called out that he was mercilessly superior to her and called out breathlessly: "Enough! I see that I can't win!" whenever Airin noticed that she was not up to someone, she broke off or just fled.This saved a lot of trouble but could be seen as a kind of cowardice. Aurora saw it differently. Realizing that you still needed practice was basically a wise act. "You did well Airin." he praised her and made all barriers disappear. She didn't look happy. "It looks like I still have a lot to learn ..." Aurora strode over to her. "The next time I meet this messenger, I'll test her to see if she is worthy. And that several times. She doesn't belong here." she started suddenly. apparently she hated Erin quite a bit. then she put her blade away and breathed "I don't know who I am or where I come from ... that's bad ... at least I found my name through you ..." Airin lowered her head briefly as if she thought after about something, then she asked Aurora: "Do you know the power of feelings? They say it is more powerful than any magic ..." She looked him in the eye. He returned that look and replied with a crushing indifference in his voice: Feelings are alien to me. Love, friendship, hate, sadness ... It doesn't mean anything to me. I don't feel anything ... "Airin didn't believe what she was hearing. How can you not feel anything?" she asked incredulously, shaking her head slightly. he turned his back on her. "Feelings ... are not important, rather they stand in our way and lead some to wrong and cruel deeds. In my position as a messenger I cannot afford such a thing ... I will not be guided by emotions . "Airin was enraged by these words. "How can you say something like that? Do you want to tell me that nothing in your life is important to you? You have to find yourself first and look for someone with whom you can build up a special connection. Think about my words and see you soon. Hmpf ... "with these words she hurried away furiously. Aurora didn't touch that at all. At the moment he had no job to do. Where to now ...
In the meantime the sun was slowly rising at Erin's as well. The young woman brushed her brown hair back from her face and blinked dreamily for a moment. She seemed to have dozed off. She picked up the blackened dragon book and read a little in it. A few moments later, the familiar voice of a little kite answered behind her. “Well, how are you today?” She happily turned around. "Lyrix! It's you! What is it?" The dragon shook his head slightly. "Nothing. Do I always have a reason to show up or what? Hm ..." Erin reassured him. "But no! I'm always happy to see you. Do you belong to Aurora?" Lyrix replied shortly: "Not exactly. I'm here and there. You never know." Erin looked disappointed. Accordingly, Aurora did not send the dragon. He came to her on his own. So he had to like her a lot. Still, it seemed a bit strange. In the castle he just flew away without saying where.Was Lyrix reporting for anyone? To work on behalf of the dragon queen. But where did he come from? Even such a small dragon had to have a home somewhere within this realm from which Aurora came and this was certainly not the castle, was it? Suddenly someone called from behind the door to her room: "Erin, who are you talking to? With a dragon or something? They don't exist!" No doubt her older brother Jake spoke. He opened the door and immediately saw Lyrix, who was sitting comfortably on the carpet and staring at him. he gave a short laugh. "What ... that can't be true! Is that some kind of toy, sis? It looks pretty much alive ..." He crouched down with interest and looked at the kite from all sides. "There you have it. Dragons do exist." noticed Erin sitting on the bed and Lyrix found her brother's comparison rather offensive. "I'm a real dragon. My name is Lyrix! Simple-minded person ... Tss ..." His dignity was hurt. "But ... purely scientifically it's impossible ... Well. Have fun with your strange shed cattle. I'll go again. And as long as our parents are not there, I'll be in charge here." This could and did not want to let Lyrix sit on him. He spat a flame in the direction of the young man. This was shocked briefly, then he noticed that it was not giving off any heat and could not harm anyone. “Don't flare anything here, otherwise there'll be trouble!” He quickly got away. Erin closed the door and touched her head with a smile. Out in the hallway, a person with white-gray hair, strangely empty eyes, and strange things came towards Jake. "Who are you? How did you get in here? Are you a friend of Erin's? Your hair color is pretty crazy. Hm." Aurora hurled the unworthy person in his eyes with a wave of energy across the hall. Fortunately, the brother was tough and had roughly the same stature as the legendary messenger. With an angry face he got up and shouted: "What are you thinking of? Do you think you are very special, huh? Ridiculous!" He stormed off quickly. Aurora ignored him and opened the door to Erin's room. She was more than surprised at his appearance. "Aurora! You here?" she said in astonishment and got up briefly from her bed. "Seems so." he gave a brief answer as usual. "I'm glad. Have a seat." She sat down hastily and offered him a seat next to her with slightly flushed cheeks. Lyrix gazed around the area with his yellow eyes. the messenger sat down. "Unfortunately I don't have much time. I can only linger for a moment." Erin smiled. "Never mind. But ... still a shame. Hm ..." Aurora looked around her room for a moment. He paid particular attention to the books on the shelves. He didn't seem to care about her herself.He studied the works for a moment, then he said, “I have to go.” Erin held out her hand as if to hold him back and said, “But ... couldn't you stay a moment ... He's gone. ... "Now she was sitting there alone. From one second to the next, Aurora had dissolved into small sparks of light that floated around the room like tiny fireflies for a moment before they completely went out. The woman looked at Lyrix who was still stretching his claws with relish on the floor. Erin looked pleadingly at him. "Lyrix ..." The dragon jumped on her shoulder with a swing and said. "We just follow him. Come on." And then everything turned again and she stood in front of the big rock again, only this time in the middle of the day. Both made sure that nobody was around, then the gate opened and Erin sprinted into it. This time she came straight to the green plateau. The view of the castle of the dragon queen was breathtaking. "Oh Lyrix ... I have to apologize for my brother. I'm visiting my parents once and then he's annoying ... Oh man ..." Someone behind them cleared his throat loudly. Erin whirled around. It was none other than Aurora who rose in front of her with folded arms and a stern look. "You again? Do you think I couldn't take care of myself?" she snapped at him and walked towards the surrounding forest. "Well ... of course you couldn't be responsible if something happened to me ... I'll go take a look at the area ..." Aurora gripped her head with an annoying look. Erin was just still young and inexperienced. That's why he had to keep an eye on her before she rode into the next trouble.
As Erin strolled through the forest, she noticed that Lyrix had disappeared again without a trace. She took a deep breath and stretched. this place offered such a harmonious atmosphere that it was a true purification of the soul to be here. She was responsible enough to go on trips around this realm on her own. The legendary messenger did not want to hide behind Aurora all the time. Erin had to learn to deal with the dangers here herself. On the edge of a small grassy cliff, she saw a sort of village in the distance. "Hm, a settlement. Unfortunately too far from here." she thought to herself. Then she heard a terrible roar coming from the direction of the forest. She turned around and for a brief moment saw a beast hurrying through the forest like a shy animal at a breakneck pace. as quickly as it appeared it disappeared again. This piqued Erin's curiosity. She wanted to pursue the creature but was already grabbed by the shoulder from behind. "That could be dangerous. Come with me." said Aurora and carried her together with her into a building that was apparently intended for the purpose of a spacious library or study."What ... but Aurora. I wanted to know what kind of beast that was ..." Erin said disappointed. He just moved his finger reproachfully and replied, "First you have to learn to deal with your new skills. Learn first. Sit down ... there." She did what he ordered, she had no other choice anyway. He took
