《Hidden》Chapter 13

"Emma!" The headmaster screamed.
Wind was yelling in Emma's ears as gravity pulled Emma closer to the hard ground. She hadn't noticed it before, but snow was falling from the sky, it almost seemed like the snow was stuck in place.
Her hair was whipping her face, time seemed to slow down as she fell, the distant bird songs were slowing down, almost stopping completely. The only thing she heard was her heartbeat in her ears.
Taking in her surroundings, Headmaster was leaning over the side of the roof, reaching out to her when though it was too late. His black and white eyes were wide and the dragon on the roof was looking down, it's eyes flashing pink before turning down back to black and red.
So this is how I'm gonna go then? A simple 'fall off a roof'? Welp, I though at least I would have grown old with a bunch of cats, or maybe even turtles.
What?
Might as well.
Time flowed back to normal, and the ground was getting closer by the second. Calmness washed over Emma as she accepted her fate, waiting for the hard impact of the ground.
A flash of yellow caught Emma's eye as it flew ever her as high speeds. Looping under her, she landed on a scaly and warm dragon.
It was Jasmine's dragon. She clung to the electric dragons spikes as the dragon flew back up to the rooftop. Landing with a loud crack, Jasmine's dragon roared, the air crackling with electricity.
"Good job Electra!" Jasmine shouted. She and Emma's other two friends were standing by the door way to inside, carefully watching. Peter and David were standing wide-eyes beside Jasmine as her eyes were glued to the scene.
"Thanks." Emma mumbled to the dragon, patting it's scales. The dragon let out a soft purr and it's eyes landed on the out of control pink dragon. The purr turned into a growl as the yellow dragon began circling the pink dragon.

'She is tainted Emma' Electra's voice echoed in her head.
'Yes I know, we have to snap her out of it before it's too late' Emma replied, sliding off Electra's back. Emma nodded to Electra and the yellow dragon quickly bolted towards the pink dragon, pinning it on the floor.
Cynder roared in pain as she tried to claw into Electras scales, the pink dragons black eyes filling with panic. Emma slowly approached the two dragons, avoiding the flailing limbs. Cynder's eyes locked in to Emma and it swung it's wing at her direction, smacking Emma to the ground with a thud.
"You're really testing my patience today, aren't you?" Emma said quietly to herself. Pushing herself up, Emma continued to move around the dragons body's and towards the headmaster.
"Why hello again Emma, I'm not in the best condition right now am I?" He said with a laugh, followed by a quiet cry of pain. A giant bleeding gash could be seen running from his shoulder to his stomach, blood pooling under his body.
"I'm sure you will be fine, I'm sure of it!" Emma said, tears brimming from her eyes, headmasters body was beginning to loose colour due to all the blood loss.
"Emma," Headmaster put his hand on Emma's shoulder. "You need to stop that dragon, that is your top priority."
"But-"
"Now!"
Emma wiped away the tears threatening to spill from her eyes, and turned away from the dying man behind her.
"Sorry." Emma wispered. She quickly dashed away and towards the dueling dragons, now both covered in bood and wounds.
Feeling a little tear on her eye, Emma quickly jumped into Electra's back, waiting for the perfect moment. Her hands began started to turn cold from the blood loss, and she began to fade in and out of conciousness.

But being stubborn had it's perks.
For she was to lazy to pass out now.
The two dragons continued to collide with each other, biting each others necks in attempt to weaken the other, but their teeth kept sliding down their sturdy scales.
Cynder quickly used Her head to push Electra back, digging her claws into the collapsing roof to help.
"Don't wreck my school you lizard!" headmaster yelled weakly. Cynder spun her head around and swung her tail towards headmaster. Electra quickly stopped the attack by biting Cynder's tail before it got headmaster.
Emma had one last look at him before focusing back on the right between the two dragons. Now was not the time to worry.
Electra took a step back and her scales began to glow slightly. An electrical feeling was filling the air and the yellow dragon opened its mouth, letting out a blue and white thunderbolt heading straight for Cynder.
The thunderbolt hit Cynder right I'm the side of her body, making her cry out in pain once more before stumbling back. The pink dragon opened up it's own mouth and shot a pink beam of light straigh for Electra.
Emma quickly jumped off and landed on her hands and knees, scraping off some skin and making her bleed a bit more.
Electra quickly raised her wing up in defence but the pink beam went straight through, tearing a hole in the yellow dragons wing. The pink beam continued and hit Electra on the chest, cracking a few of her large scaly chestplates.
The pink dragon let out a growl as the recoil from the pink dragons attack made her fly back and crash into a wall, a bit of blood pouring out in between it's scales.
Electra got up and shook herself off before pouncing on the pink dragon again, grabbing onto the back of Cynder's neck, a loud and sickening crack of the pink dragons scales rang through the air.
Cynder did a 180° with her head and faced Electra, her black and red eyes boring into Emma's. The pink dragon opened its mouth up once more and a black-like beam shot out of it's mouth, heading straight for Emma.
Electra's bright yellow eyes widened as she let go of Cynder's neck and ran in front of Emma, taking the black attack from Cynder.
The black magic collided with the dragon, and Electra's body absorbed the magic, making the attack seem like an illusion.
'I'm so.....so...'
Emma's head spun to the pink dragon, it's head in it's claws as it sent it's telepathic message.
'....Sorry....'
Those were the last things it said before Cynder collapsed with a loud thud.
Electra stood proudly as Jasmine ran up to hug her dragon, David and Peter following closely behind.

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)
