Master Of None Chapter 18

After an explanation walker tossed the fifth flame newt to the ever hungry hatchling. "By the way, we will need to hunt for more flame newts now that I've been leading the hatchling." The small laugh, in the end, helped to put Su and Remey at ease but this left the question.
"So why do we do with it now? Has the quest been completed?" Remey was the first to ask the question that weighed on everyone's minds. Walker checked his system and didn't see any completed section but noticed a flashing area labeled inventory.
He quickly took a look realizing this must be the storage from the inventory.
Inventory:
Flame newt body-5
Darkness crystal-3
Black crystal flame dragon scale- 8
Camping gear-1
No stale bread-5
Water bottle-4
Gold- 100
Light health potion- 1
"Wow I can see everything already organized in my inventory, Gil you even grabbed three magic stones. These darkness crystals are really rare. We can even try to sell or make gear from those shed dragon scales." The excitement in Walker's voice was apparent but his party members were much too distracted watching the hatchling who had come forward in front of Walker.
He kneeled down, "what's wrong? Are you still hungry?" Walker was confused by the actions of the hatchling.
Without warning the hatchling leaned forward and touched its head to Walkers resulting in a system notification.
' the emergency quest "save my child from greed". Has been completed.
Rewards:
30 exp to each party member
Elite skill- blood contract
Uses all mana in the user's body to condense a single drop of blood. This drop shall unite any form of beast and bond them to the user. They shall share emotions, exp, and other aspects of life depending on the beast's intelligence.'

"What!" The four were stunned getting this much exp was usually expected from copper and silver tier adventurer quests. The number may seem low but most quests took in to account the other rewards. Hunting quests usually rewarded low exp but high gold due to the fact that the hunted monsters give exp themselves. Whereas gathering quests gave high exp and moderate gold due to the tame nature of the quest.
The hatchling again bumped Walker as if getting impatient. " do you want me to use my new skill?" This question was answered with a soft "gurufff" sound which Walker took as a yes. " Guys I'm about to try out a new skill, it will use my remaining mana so I'll need a bit of help on the way home" Walker sounded worried but Su stepped forward prepared to cover him.
Holding his hand over the hatchlings head "blood contract!" Upon saying this walker felt all of his energy converge to his fingertip and a small amount of pain
'Due to blood contract activation, all mana has condensed. 1 damage taken.'
The glowing blue and red drop fell on to the hatchlings head and the blue color spread over its body while the red drop of blood was absorbed.
' black crystal flame dragon hatchling has accepted the contract. The user can now see the level and skills of the contracted beast. The emotional bond has been formed. weak Telepathic communication is now possible. Please name your contracted beast to solidify your bond'
Hmm, a name should I just call it Draco? It's cliche though, fang? Lisa would find that cute...maybe something based on its appearance, her crystal black scales kinda shiny like the stars when the sun hits them...midnight? That kinda fits; you can only see the shade of darkness at midnight. " would you like the name Midnight?" Walker asked the hatchling in response the hatchling began hopping around Walker with plenty of energy but sadly walker lacked the energy himself. Upon looking at his System he saw he had leveled up and knew that his skill points were best off used for his mana since he would constantly need more to use his skills.

'5 points have been added to mana. Total mana moved to 17.'
The overwhelming tired feeling dissipated to a small degree making it easier for him to stand. "Do you need my shoulder to lean on?" Su prepared herself but with a shake of his head Walker steadied himself.
"Do you want to explain what just happened and why the party shows Midnight as our fifth member?" Remey cut in
"Well I used a contract skill and now the hatchling is bonded with me. Everyone I would like to Introduce you to Midnight. Oh she's a female black crystal flame dragon. She knows two skills and is only level 1" walker made the introduction as midnight stopped to look up raising her head in pride upon hearing her new name.

Black flame crystal dragon (hatchling)

Devour-
Consumes prey to strengthen the body and assist in growth

Divik: Companion Two in the Orak'Thune Series
A city built on honour. A downfall built on lies. Divik is a cesspool. Left too long to its own devices, it is a city ruled by degenerate barons, unique in that on the surface, they’re part of the shiny ruling class. Enter the terrorists. Having decided on vulnerable Divik for their plans long ago, it is an easy corridor of which to get a foothold on the otherwise impenetrable, ultra-patriotic Orak’thune nation; and they have a message for its Fire Queen. The countdown to their demise has been set, the players on the board unwittingly outmatched. The innocent residents will be victims in the crossfire if the last good knight, Colonel Rabb, can’t clear them out of the way in time. Living Fire: Book Four in the Orak'Thune Series tells the tale of how King River and Hanna get embroiled in the coup, and how Queen Nyssa and Jara get them back from the clutches of a sociopathic terrorist and out of an imploding city.
