18 Where is Benny?

I wanted to see how Benny was doing so I went to visit him as my items were being prepared. I could tell the young fae boy didn't really hate me even though he acted as if he did. I think he just wasn't used to people approaching him without a scheme and thought I had ulterior motives.

As I was flying my bike to the forest that Benny lived in, I eventually could see it from a distance. Just like I had known and had warned Benny about before, an ancient red flame dragon flew above the forest and was attacking both the elves and the fae's within it. All around the tree's were on fire and the living beings within the forest were running around and screaming in both agony and fear.

Although both fae and elves lived within the forest together, they lived separately at the same time. One side of the forest was filled with fae, while the other side was an elf village. As the fire raged around them, the dragon would swoop down from time to time to swallow a fae or elf that was running around in panic.

I flew as fast as I could, but the amount of destruction was already great by the time I had first noticed the dragon attack. When I had gotten to the forest, most of it was destroyed along with the living beings inside it. I saw around ten to fifteen fae here and there, but the elves were all but wiped out. As I was looking for Benny, the dragon spotted my arrival and swooped down towards me in hopes to get a snack.

"What a dumb fuckin' dragon" I spoke

Right when the dragon was in arms reach I wrapped my arms around it's neck and used it's own momentum to body slam it over my shoulder. It's huge body hit the ground causing a minor earthquake. The fae that were still alive ran away in horror as what was left of the trees in the forest started to fall over and the ground beneath them cracked open. I saw a few of the fae die as burning trees fell on them.

Before the dragon could realize what had just happened, I stabbed my lightsaber through it's eye and into it's brain, instantly killing it. Seeing the dragon slayed, the fae stopped running and stood in awe of what they had just witnessed.

"Have any of you seen Benny?" I asked in hopes he had not died.

Out of the 5 fae that had injuries, but were still alive, none of them had seen Benny for the last few days. It gave me hope that maybe he was not here during the dragons destruction.

Remembering what had happened in the gate universe when the dragon attacked the forest, I went to the elves side of the forest and found the water well that Tuka Luna Marceau's father had put her inside to save her from the dragons fire. Luckily the earthquake from earlier did not cause the water well to collapse around her, but the well was on it's last leg.

"Anyone alive down there? The Dragon has been defeated, it's safe now" I yelled down into the well, which woke up Tuka who had been knocked out when she was pushed in by her father and had hit the bottom.

"f-father..?" Tuka called back up.

"My pull out game is strong, I can say with certainty that I am not your father" I replied.

The five remaining fae that had been following me around since I had defeated the dragon earlier used their magic power to send a plant vine down to retrieve her. The fae had a type of plant magic of sorts. The ability allowed them to build a good relationship with the elves that lived near them. The vine secured Tuka and then pulled her up, sitting her in front of me.

Tuka was a blonde haired blue eyed slim beauty that had small yet perky b cup breast and pointy elven ears. Sadly, her ass was flat and only good for shitting, if elves even did that. In the show she had developed a psychosis over her fathers death, but I believe that was mostly due to how the people around her approached her breaking mind. Like most elves she could live centuries, excelled in archery, could use spirit magic, and was adept in music.

What makes Tuka stand out from the other elves was that she was bi-sexual and enjoyed sleeping in the nude. In the show she was shown sleeping nude a couple of times and had expressed interest in both women and men, but mostly women.

Looking at her, I let her have it straight. "Your father is dead. He was killed by the Dragon I slayed. I'm happy that I could save you, but I just couldn't save everyone. I'm sorry about your father, but I have to leave, you can stay here or come with me. Your choice".

Tuka stared at me blankly as she absorbed the words I had told her. I didn't know if she really understood me or not, but I didn't really care either. I was trying to think of where Benny may have went off to if he wasn't killed by the Dragon. According to the five fae that were currently following me, I was the only one that ever really interacted with him. The other fae usually ignored or bullied him because his magic was weaker than everyone else's.

Remembering the last time I had spoken with him I had asked him to direct me to the Empire, I wondered if he maybe went to look for me there. Going back to the fae forest I had the other fae leave a note for Benny and any other fae or elves that may have survived, telling them to stay near here since the dragon is dead and that we would be back eventually.

With no place to go the five fae and Tuka had agreed to follow me for now. Considering the flame dragon I had just killed was an ancient dragon which was the strongest type of dragon in this world, I didn't want to just ignore it's corpse. Nobody in this world could kill an ancient dragon alone unless they were a demi god. It was a great achievement and I had killed it with ease.

Using my lightsaber I cut off every scale the dragon had on it's body and then put what I could fit in my bike and headed back to the Japanese base. I had the fae stay behind and guard the rest of my dragon scales and let Tuka ride on the back of my bike.

When I got to the Japanese base it had already been a few hours since I had left. Defeating the dragon may not have been that time consuming, but cutting off it's scales without damaging them was. I had spent way more time than I had bargained for while doing it. "

"Tuka, stay here, I've got some business to take care of, I'll be right back."
