Hermosa: Beauty
We awoke the next morning in a tree. I was an eagle and Libe was a hawk. We were sleeping in a nest that we had stolen from another eagle that owned it. "Hey, Libe, wake up. Libe-" I was cut off by the shadow of a figure looming over head. It was another dragon. The same white one I had seen when fighting the other black dragon. I morphed back into my dragon form and flew towards her. She whipped her tail and raced through the sky. I went after her. Breathing heavily I yelled, 'Hey, wait! I don't want to hurt you, I just want to know who you are and why you keep following me!" She disappeared behind a cloud and I stopped. I was panting. "I am Hermosa. I am lord of the dragons. Panacea's daughter. He has told me to watch over you and Libe," Came a voice from above. "On your journey, do not acknowledge my exsitence to your friend. I wish to see how well you can do. If you know I am there, you will not do your best. I will do my best to stay hidden as so not to put you under too much pressure."
Satisfied with the answer I received, I flew back to the nest. and morphed into an eagle. Libe was awake waiting for me. "Where have you been?" He asked. I replied, "Just looking around." We flew off in the direction of North. I could feel her glare on my back the entire time. We flew for miles and miles until we were too tired to fly anymore and we morphed into rats and slept in a hole the rest of the day and night. I heard a loud sound outside and crawled out to see what it was. I saw nothing and just as I was about to crawl back inside, two giant pair of hawk's feet appeared in front of me. He pecked at me and I tried to escape into my hole. 'Wait a minute, I can morph into anything I want' I thought. I walked out and morphed into a wolf. I growled and the hawk suddenly turned into a lion. "So you can morph too huh? Let's see you top this!" I morphed into the green, powerful, and undefeated dragon I was known all over the land for being.
The lion morphed into something astonishing. The white dragon I had seen earlier. I was in awe as she struck me with such force, it felt like lightning."Hermosa? Hah, my real name is Rayo . Which means lighning in Spanish." She roared. She swung her tail at me and it felt like a jolt of electricity. "Conivienent name. But I have a better one.Triunfo, which is Spanish for triumph." Libe crawled out of the hole as a beautiful blue dragon. "I have a better name than both of you. It's Libelula, which is Spanish for I'm gonna kick your butt!" "Actually it's Spanish for dragonfly." Rayo spoke. "Shutup." He said and charged at her. Not even both of us could take her.
She sliced Libe's foot almost completley off, bit my tail in five places, and cut a deep wound in Libe so that you could see his shoulder bone! She perked her head up and paused. We heard a whistle. "I must leave you, but I will be back. See you again Triunfo. You too Dragonfly." She flew off towrads the South."How did you morph into a dragon Libe?" "I felt a pain in my head and saw a blue dragon in my mind, then suddenly, I was this." "Almost the same way I gained my powers. Well, let's get you fixed up and we'll fly after her after you and I are healed."
