Shiro POV
Hidden Cavern, The Great Ice Barrier YR94
Shiro changed into her human as she was dying as that was the form when she felt the most comfortable in. On her neck you can see a severe bite mark from her brother. She used ice magic to seal up the wound, but her wound was life-threatening so all it did was prolong her death. She was cover in her own blood and tears and she laid there thinking about her life. What was the reason for her life, did she accomplish anything or, done anything meaning for herself, and why does she has to suffer so much? Maybe if she wasn’t born different mentally from the dragons and was born stupid instead like her brother she wouldn’t have to hurt so much. In the end the truth was that her life was rather unfulfilling as her brother just bullied her, her mother called her weak and useless, she learn how fly, breathe ice, practice a few ice magic, and stand at the cavern entrance nude staring outside into the endless snow. She realized how disappointing her life was. She wanted to go on adventurers like the humans did to make friends, meet a human lover, and have a family at the end of all that. It looks like that is something that isn’t meant for her and she continued to silently weep
Alone with no one to love
She felt death in her mind continuing to inch closer to her, inch, by inch, by inch till she felt him staring down at her waiting for her last breathe to come. She finally gave in and waited for death to claim her life. She closed his eyes, expecting it to never open again.

Jester Chester POV
The frontier, The Dark Land YR94
“Oh shit!” Chester was screaming for his life. He was crawling on the ground to get to safety, but wasn’t getting anywhere as he was exhausted. The reason was because
“YOU FUCKING DRUNKEN PIECE OF SHIT!”
Someone yelled at Chester, then kicked him in the eye and kept running for his life. Ya, you guessed it, your favorite Jester Chester was drunk again. After the young boy ran off to get killed by the dragon, Chester felt guilty as he was the one who told the young boy about the dragon. He managed to make a couple of people laugh and taught some history to a young boy, which result in him getting some money for more beer. Feeling guilty he ran into the bar and drank as much beer as he could using all the money he made, but the truth was that he was going to do that regardless if he was guilty or not.
Now the reason why Chester was crawling for his life was because a huge blue dragon descended from the mountain and started wreaking havoc on the village of Frontier. The dragon sprayed ice breath around the city creating a massive wall blocking anyone from going in or out of the village. He then blocked off the entrance to the Grand Valley so no one could escape this destruction. The dragon flew around and launched ice balls from his mouth at high speed instantly killing anyone in its way and damaging any building in its way. The force was so strong from the ice balls that it left caters where ever it landed. Then the dragon would fly up at a high altitude and go back down at high speed, landing with no difficulty, but it would cause a big shockwave sending anyone in the vicinity flying, either breaking all their bones or instantly killing them. The dragon seemed to enjoy the destruction he was causing as he was laughing hysterically while screaming out “DIE PUNY HUMANS BAHAUAHAHA”. Chester was so afraid that he pissed himself when he saw the dragon pick someone up with his tail and ate half their body and threw the other half killing their family member with it from the impact. It was gruesome and all Chester could hear was crying, death, and despair as he lay on the ground. Chester felt Powerless, afraid, and ashamed because Chester couldn’t do anything to help the people that gave him money for beer throughout the years.
“Someone make it stop!” Chester screamed in his head in despair
“HAHAHA WEAK HUMANS SEE IF YOU CAN SURVIVE THIS!” the dragon laughed as if he was drowning in ecstasy
“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!”
The force alone from the roar blew away the small house in front of the dragon. Chester watched as the family and children inside were killed instantly. Chester saw the bodies of young children ranging from 3 - 11. They were the group of the village children that were happily playing in front of the fountain earlier. The children hid in the house after the dragon descended. Chester couldn’t believe his eyes as they were the children that he all taught history too and joked around when their parents were at work. Tears continue to flow down Chester eyes, but he was powerless. What could he do? He had no weapons, he was a drunk, and was too weak to even support groups that venture out into the Dark Lands to look for riches. He hated himself. He also prepared himself for death too. He thought to himself if he was reborn he would be a better man, someone who reliable, compassion, not a drunk, and strong. Just like that young boy who helped him and all he did was send him off to his death. Chester just couldn’t handle it anymore and vomited all over himself as he laid there on the ground, feeling hopeless and broken. He finally gave in and waited for the dragon to claim his life. He closed his eyes, expecting it to never open again.

Khan Law Delord
The First Mountain, The Great Ice Barrier YR94
After defeating the trolls Khan continued up the mountain. He still had a lot of his mana left after the battle and he was hopefully that was it enough to defeat a dragon. He knew himself that when it came to raw power he was extremely strong. He didn’t know why, but something in his mind was telling him that he could defeat the dragon. Khan was never sure about the occasion voice in his head, but he felt like he could trust it. It supported him as a child when he was training his magic as whenever he got stuck he could just meditate and a voice would tell him what he needs to do. He doesn’t know when it started, but the voice sounded like his own, always speaks with the least amount of words, and never talked to him back. It only said something to him when he was stuck on something. He never told his parents or anyone about it as he wasn’t sure if it was himself telling him the answer or another being. He hopes that one day he could find someone in the human Kingdom and figure out the cause of it.
As Khan continued up the mountain he was nearing the end of the mountain. He was able to pick up a small faint presence and a larger one behind it. He assumed the large one was the dragon as he never felt anything so big in his life, but the problem was the small one. Could the small presence be an extremely powerful dragon that can be able to hide their presence? He thought to himself. He decided to go cautiously take a look at it, while being prepared to run at the sign of any huge threats. Khan slowly head toward the small presence. As Khan advanced closer to the source the presence became stronger and stronger. Soon Khan was able to spot the entrance of the cavern as he slowly advanced. He prepared himself for anything that might come. When he finally got to the entrance of the caverns something came from behind and Khan jumped to the side barely dodging it. Khan turned around to see what had attacked him and it was a massive humanoid monster with white fur covering all over its body, greyish skin, five fingers on both hand with long black sharp nails, and a mouth full of extremely sharp teeth with 2 fangs on top and bottom. Its eyes were entirely black and it just stared at khan.

“Hah….Haaahhhhhhh………haahhhhhhh……haahhh.…hah......hhhaahhh.................” All you could hear the panting of the monster as it continued to stare at Khan with saliva coming out of its mouth. Khan couldn’t feel the presence of the monster at all. When he looked at the monster it just felt like a huge black void was there, that was trying to suck him in.
“ROARRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The monster charges at high speed and swipes at Khan with both hand causing a massive wind pressure that cracked the ice on the floor. He dodges the attack by jumping on the arm and started running up the arm and launched a [shadow spear] at the back of the heads while he pushing off the arm to land a powerful punch on the forehead. The [shadow spear] and the punch landed at the same time causing the impact to deform the head of the monster as the impact pushed the head inward from both sides with a high level of force. Blood was flooring out from all parts of the monsters head from the eyes, ears, noses, and mouth. The monster screamed in pain and swiped at Khan as he was in the air from the recoil of punching the head. Khan put up a [shadow wall], but was still send downwards into the ground from the impact. There was a small crater with the shape of khan’s body with cracks leading from it from the shock wave from khan hitting the floor. Khan was able to put up another [shadow wall] protecting him behind to protect from the damages of being smacked into the ground.
“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The monster screams in pain! The monster lifts up his foot “SMASH!” he stomps Khan while he protects himself with [shadow wall], but digging him deeper into the small crater and widening it. He continues to stomping on khan pushing him deep and deep into the ground, but Khan continues to use his [shadow wall]to protect himself from the impact and shock wave of the attack. From behind the [shadow wall] jumps out Khan’s shadow and it jumps and stabs into the monster chest with its hand. The monster screams in pain, but the wound is too shallow to kill the monster. It tries to grab the shadow with its arm, but the shadow digs its finger into the monster and pulls itself up while dodging the monster grab. The shadow lands on the arm of the monster as it tried to grab the shadow and then jumped to the head digging its arm into the monster eye ripping the eye apart and trying to cause as much damage in the brain as it can.
“ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The monster screams again in pain and tries to grab the shadow and when the monster grabs the shadow, the shadow is ripped from its arm. The arm is still inside the monsters wreaking havoc within the head of the monster. The monster uses its other arm and tries to gouge out the shadow arm stuck in its eye socket, but it fails while destroying the entire eye and the surrounding area of it as the shadow arm wriggle deeper into the head. The blood comes gushing out from the eye socket in the gallons and the monsters runs to the cavern wall and starts smashing it’s head into the wall over and over to stop the pain. Finally it got what it asked for as the body of the monster went limp and Khan saw that its head was smashed into the wall while its arm was hanging down and the knee was bent while leaning into the wall. There was blood all over the wall and dripping on to the floor.
Khan didn’t expect the monster to die in such a gruesome way as he had order his shadow to take action into stopping the monster. He doesn’t have full control of his shadow, but only the ability to command it as it usually listen to his order. The shadow slowly walked back to khan and went back into place of being khan’s normal shadow. In results of the action of the shadow Khan was able to save a lot of his mana and take no damage from the ongoing assault of the monster. He felt that he was still at 60% of his mana, but after the gruesome death of the monster he wasn’t sure if he wanted to go into another battle with the dragon. It’s not the first time he has killed and it sure won’t be his last, but usually all his kills are instant and not extremely savage as it has been just now. He was still a 14 year old boy.
Khan walked to the entrance of the cavern and looked out into the endless snow. Contemplating if he wants to continue or wait a bit before confronting the dragon. He was sure the little girl will live another day or even another year so he wasn't in any rush. It was also a better idea to let his mana heal a bit and the battle will be tough he thought to himself. Also he still has to figure out what the small presence is within the cavern that is near the large presence so he can’t just blindly rush in while he isn’t still at his full potential. He may be extremely strong, but he isn’t a god. He understands that there are monsters that are still stronger than him, but what he understand the most is that he's still human!
He had three options
1) confront the dragon while not being fully rested with the current mana he has
2) Rest nearby in a make shift shelter for 3- 6 days to recover a bit of mana
3) Rush back to the village and rest comfortable to becoming fully recovered
Khan closed his eyes and tried to clear his mind while deciding on the right choice to make
----------------------------------------
Just in case you didn't remember, Khan has the ability to summon his own shadow to pick itself up from the ground, it didn't attack in Chapter Two as it didn't need to, but this chapter it attacked the monster in respond to protect Khan under his order also if you haven't guess what that monster was, it was a yeti
