Race

After getting cockbl*cough**cough* called by Zena, Irene immediately went to her room through the wall by changing it to a passage to her room so as to not get seen by others.

Damian then closed the path once Irene was in there and looked at the tent which was pitched up in his pants. He then looked at his hand and said, "Get ready partner."

After some time Damian came out of his room doing unquestionable things and looked towards Zena who was standing in front of Irene's door probably waiting for her to come out after getting dressed up by the other maids.

He stared at the old maid with a conflicted expression on his face before turning around and walk away since he didn't want to face Irene at the momy as it would be quite awkward for the both of them.

-------------------

Damian then went to the area where the dragons interacts with the hummas and noticed that only a few dragons were currently here.

He soon spotted Maka and and walked towards him. Maka who recognised his scent looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "Yo Ian, long time no see. How's life been?"

Damian waved his hand and said, "Long time no see Maka-jiji. Life's well.....busy fucking me whenever she gets the opportunity.*mumble* Just like this morning."

"Huh, what happened in the morning?"

Damian looked at the old dragon who asked him the question and facepalmed, '...dragons have good senses...' He then shook his head and said, "Nothing, don't mind me. What about you, is your health okay?"

The dragon then stood up and it was then that Damian realised that Maka was very large, even larger than Belserion, who could be called one of the biggest dragons he has ever seen.

Seeing the surprised look on his face Maka felt pround and said, "Gobsmacked by my majesty, huh. Well can't blame you though. Afterall my awesomeness speaks for itself."

Maka then flapped his wings a bit since they felt a bit numb because of not being used for quite a while. "Let's go out for a while, there is not much to do here anyways, since most of the dragons are out there on the battlefield or in the healing wards." and then moved his hand forward gesturing him to climb on top of him.

Damian got on the top of his hand after which Maka placed him on top of his head.

"Make sure to not fall." said Maja before he started flapping his wings and took flight.

Once they were out in the open sky Maka gave out a roar inorder to inform the dragons who were guarding the castle about them going out for a bit.

Once the confirmation was made Maka Immediately sped up making Damian fall back because of the wind pushing him away.

Damian who was totally shocked by the speed of the old dragon immediately put enchantments to form a barrier in front of him and said, "Hey are you trying to make me fall!!!"

"Ah, please don't fall for me, I am straight."

Hearing his answer Damian had a cold look on his face seeing which Maka flinched a bit and said, "A-Anyway, jokes aside, I can still speed up a bit more. Wanna see how fast can I get." and looked at Damian with a challenging smirk on his face.

Seeing his smirk Damian smirked as well and said, "Then why not we have a race." and then used his I'm itrix to transform into Jetray and started to fly beside Maka.

Maja looked at the small creature flying near him and said, "You sure? Despite my age I think that I could still be one of the fastest dragons alive."

"Oh don't worry, just make sure that you don't lose sight of me."

Both of them then stopped in the mid air and stared at each other for a mile.

Maka then looked in front and pointed at one of the mountain peaks visible to them and said, "Then how about we race till that mountain peak."

Damian looked at the peak at which Maka was pointing at and nodded his head.

Both of them then prepared themselves with Maka having multiple magic circle forming in front of him and Damian completely bfocused towards the peak.

"3"

"2"

"1!!!"

Just as Maka shouted the last number both of them immediately launched forward while breaking the sound barrier without any effort.

Damian who was still in his speeding up session was a bit surprised seeing the dragon being able to keep up with him and doing that while having a manic like smirk on his face.

'This guy really is a veteran. If it wasn't for that poison, he could have been the strongest dragon in the kingdom and would be sent to war.'

But then Damian stopped thinking such things and started to speed up a 'bit' enough to not warp into space and a few seconds later reached the top of the peak.

Soon Maka reached there as well without breaking a sweat and said, "Whew, you are pretty fast yourself, eh. Well not better than the me in my prime but still you are good, I will give ya that."

"Maka-jiji you are pretty fast yourself, I didn't think much about it earlier but what type of dragon are you?"

"Hmm me, I am time dragon, great right?"

Damian nodded his head in admiration since he knew how rare and strong time mages were and that element used by a dragon will make it insanely strong and versatile.

"Well since you win, here is your reward."

"Huh, what reward? You don't need to do something like that, it was just a small competition."

Maka snorted and said, "Don't argue too much just think of it as a gift from your grandfather. Here catch." and threw something towards Damian.

Damian who saw something coming towards him immediately catched it and saw a pretty big lacrima in his hand.

"Hmm, what is this?"

"Oh, just a lacrima filled with my time magic, it's really helpful in case of a serious injury or fastening a process. Like fermentation or something. Well I used it for healing and such, so not that big of a deal."

Damian nodded since it was true that lacrimas filled with dragon magic were not that big of a deal in Dragonof, since the non mages used them as consumables to used various devices.

But despite that Damian was surprised by the sheer size of the lacrima and the amount of magic energy filled with it. He admired it for a while and looked towards Maka with an appreciative and thankful gaze.

Seeing that Maka gave a toothy smile and gave a thumbs up.

But all of a sudden both of them widend their eyes in surprise and turned their heads only to see a huge wave of fire coming towards them.

Both of them immediately got out of the way of the fire and then looked towards the direction where it came from and saw a red scaled dragon.

"Hey what's the big deal man?!?! That was totally cowardly for a dragon!!!" said Damian pointing his finger towards the Dragon while still being in his transformed form."

Maka nodded his head as well and glared at the dragon and said, "That was really unbecoming of a dragon. You young asshole!!! Wanna get crushed by the legendary Maka-sama!!!"

But the dragon just glared at them while also prepared to attack once again. But suddenly his eyes widened a bit as he looked towards Maka with surprise, "Eh, Maka-san is that you?!"

"Huh, you speaking like you know me or so-....Wait a minute are you that Igneel brat who claimed the title of the fire dragon king?!?!"

"Yes, it's me Igneel long time no see Maka-san!!!" said the red scaled dragon with a smile on his face.

"Yeah! long time no see.....now tell me how do you want me to kill you for firing that fire ball at me." said Maja with an expressionless face.

Igneel who heard that gulped his saliva as some of his past interactions with the old dragon stated to surface his mind.

"Hey!!! Who the hell are you to threaten Igneel like that?!?! Come down here if you have the guts!!! I will take you on you bastard!!!"

Suddenly both of them heard a voice and looked down only to see a small pink haired boy standing beside Igneel's leg.
